Lord of the Holy Court! Return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

The wind in Heaven Dou City seemed to freeze completely at that moment.

The charred trench still reeked of gunpowder smoke, and the auras of the three Soul Douluo powerhouses had vanished without a trace.

Only the remnants of Soul Power remained, wailing in the air.

"They actually... shattered three Soul Douluo in one fell swoop, and they also have so many disciples. Soul Tool... that's terrifying."

Ning Fengzhi stood at the edge of the ruins.

His usually refined and composed face was now filled with Fayan shock!

As the wealthiest and most astute sect leader in the Douluo Continent...

He understood better than anyone what had just happened. It wasn't a clash of Soul Skill; it was the crushing power of civilization!

What those twenty Soul Engineer held in their hands.

It is a forbidden power powerful enough to rewrite the history of Soul Master!

"Young friend Lin Sheng... no, Sect Master Lin."

Ning Fengzhi a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions, and surprisingly bowed slightly, performing a greeting that was both respectful and accommodating to his peers.

His gaze as he looked at Lin Sheng...

The attempt to win them over has now turned into a firm surrender.

"Having met you today, I now understand what the true tide of the times is. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wishes to establish a permanent strategic partnership with the Holy Court."

He paused, then continued.

"Of course, everything is under the Holy Court's control. The Holy Court will provide any funding, channels, or even the rarest metal mines on the continent that it needs for the mass production of Soul Tool in the future."

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will provide full support without hesitation!"

Although Sword Douluo Chen Xin did not speak, the fingers that were tightly gripping the Seven Kill Sword had relaxed.

He knew that, faced with such dense beams of destructive light...

Even he wouldn't gain anything!

"Soul Tool, those are terrifying."

"No... what's truly frightening is Lin Sheng," Chen Xin said slowly.

Xue Qinghe also witnessed all of this, his golden eyes, hidden beneath his disguise, gleaming with a fanatical light.

Qian Renxue was all too aware of the deterrent power this force posed to the empire.

She stepped forward, her tone sincere yet carrying a touch of royal authority. "Lin Sheng, the existence of the Holy Court is a blessing, not a curse, for the Heaven Dou Empire."

"I will report today's events to my father as soon as possible, and he will certainly use the royal family's resources to support the construction of the Holy Court."

"Within this Heaven Dou City, the Holy Court will possess the highest privileges equivalent to those of a prince's residence."

Lin Sheng stood in the afterglow of the setting sun, his white robes still as pure as snow.

He listened to the statements from both sides without much emotion, as this was all within his expectations.

"Since Sect Master Ning and His Highness are so kind, I, Lin, will accept this on behalf of the Holy Court."

Lin Sheng smiled faintly.

That smile looked especially profound against the backdrop of the dilapidated street.

"The Holy Court does not seek hegemony, but only order."

"But those who offend my Holy Court will suffer the same fate as Yang Wudi and his companions just now."

As Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe left with complicated feelings, the area in front of the Holy Court finally returned to its usual quiet and desolate state.

Those twenty Soul Engineer were like the most sophisticated instruments.

They quickly put away their heavy armor, stood in unison before Lin Sheng, and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Sect Master! I am willing to serve you as my vanguard!"

Lin Sheng waved his hand, signaling them to stand up. "No need for formalities."

"You've done a great job these past few days. Now that the Holy Court's reconstruction is nearing completion, you only need to focus on the research and development and mass production of the core Soul Tool. Security here is also your responsibility."

For such a group of elite Soul Engineer.

Lin Sheng couldn't be more satisfied!

"Remember my words. If any more ignorant fools dare to challenge us at our door, there's no need to inform them; simply eliminate them."

"I want the people of Heaven Dou City to know that the gates of the Holy Court are not to be entered by just anyone."

"I will obey the Sect Master's decree!"

After explaining everything, Lin Sheng turned to look at Dugu Bo, who had remained silent, and teased him.

"Old Poison, are you dumbfounded?"

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and said with a wry smile, "You brat... I've lived a whole life, and the shocks I've experienced in the last two days don't even come close to what I've felt."

"Those lumps of iron your twenty henchmen are carrying are more deadly than my poison. Let's go, back to the academy."

He chuckled and asked Lin Sheng.

"Your Holy Court, how about giving me an elder position?"

"..."

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Sheng pushed open the familiar courtyard gate and happened to bump into Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting in the pavilion in front of him, lost in thought.

The girl's expression was gentle and serene.

The moment she saw Lin Sheng, her icy expression instantly melted away.

A hint of relieved joy flashed in her cat-like eyes, but it quickly returned to its usual aloofness.

You're back?

Lin Sheng stepped forward, looked her over, and suddenly raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Level 50? It seems the actual combat in Spirit City has had a significant impact on you."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness.

"Yanzi said that of the three Soul Bone rewards this time, the top-grade Soul Bone with the acceleration attribute was the most suitable for me, but I... refused."

"Oh? Why are you refusing?"

Lin Sheng smiled mysteriously.

"You shot that down."

Zhu Zhuqing looked directly into Lin Sheng's eyes, "Moreover, everyone in the team also contributed..."

"I want to obtain an even more powerful Soul Bone later."

"Good."

Lin Sheng naturally reached out and ruffled her soft hair, causing the girl to blush.

"There are indeed better options for Soul Bone, but since you don't want that trash from the Spirit Hall, I'll take you to get a truly top-grade one. Come on, let's get away from here."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask where they were going.

She simply followed obediently behind Lin Sheng.

Led by Dugu Bo, the three of them sped towards the depths of Sunset Forest.

Before long, the rich aroma of medicine and the intertwined scents of ice and fire wafted over again.

When they stepped into the barrier of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Zhu Zhuqing stood there, stunned.

"This..."

Beside a strange medicinal herb by the spring, a somewhat forlorn figure, seemingly imprisoned by a peculiar energy, instantly caught Zhu Zhuqing's attention.

"That is..." Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

The once lively and energetic girl, Xiao Wu, who always wore a scorpion braid, was now curled up in a ball, her eyes dim.

Under the suppression of that icy and fiery aura, the Soul Beast aura within her body was completely stripped away.

"..."

Xiao Wu stared intently at Lin Sheng with resentful eyes.

Lin Sheng coldly stared at the imprisoned Xiao Wu, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his tone so indifferent that it chilled Xiao Wu to the bone.

"Zhu Zhuqing, didn't you want Soul Ring and Soul Bone? Look, a level 50 bottleneck paired with a perfectly matured Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Isn't that a perfect match?"

Xiao Wu suddenly looked up and saw Lin Sheng, her eyes revealing extreme fear and pleading.

Zhu Zhuqing stood there, frozen in place.

She did indeed possess level 50 Soul Power, but... Lin Sheng's meaning...

Does he want me to kill Xiao Wu?!
