Incident Caused by the Destruction of the Water Well
Outside, after the terrifying aura dissipated, Heavenly Dragon Douluo Nan Shuishui remained in the back garden on guard.
Seeing that there was no movement for a while, just as the two of them were about to leave, the well started to move.
To their astonishment, a man and a woman, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, emerged from the well one after the other.
These two people are naturally Chen Yuan and Snow Empress.
As soon as he came out, Chen Yuan's Soul Power surged, evaporating all the moisture. Although Snow Empress was somewhat exhausted, she was still able to dry her robes.
Nan Shuishui and Heavenly Dragon Douluo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. Putting aside where these two came from, the temperature of this well was something that no one but Titled Douluo could withstand.
But the two young people in front of them actually did something that none of them could do.
"How dare you treat me, the Emperor, like a mining tool!"
"That's all the use you have. Consider this money as travel expenses to get you out of the Cold Spring."
"Hello, seniors!"
Seeing the two people sitting over there, Chen Yuan greeted them leisurely.
He sensed no hostility from these two men, only wariness. Most importantly, Chen Yuan was certain that they couldn't kill him.
These two individuals, one Soul Douluo and the other a Titled Douluo, are capable of seeing through the transformation of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, according to the Douluo setting.
It's unclear whether the current Snow Empress is a pure human or still a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast.
Judging from this Soul Douluo's iconic Earth Dragon Sect outfit, he's undoubtedly Nan Shuishui, the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect Gate.
The Titled Douluo who appeared in Dragon City seemed to know Nan Shuishui, but they were clearly just friends. He should be the Heavenly Dragon Douluo who died protecting Dragon City.
Nan Shuishui was quite polite to Chen Yuan, so she didn't want to slap him. She smiled and asked.
"Gentlemen, this is the territory of my Earth Dragon Sect. Please give me a reasonable explanation for your presence here."
Having trespassed on someone else's sect's territory, Nan Shuishui had every reason to suppress the two people directly, but she still wanted to find out the details first.
She could clearly sense a Sisi danger from the two people in front of her, especially the young man.
For Soul Douluo as her to sense danger, her background must be extraordinary.
"This junior, Chen Yuan, comes from the Shrek Academy. After wiping out a group of Evil Soul Master, I accidentally entered this place through an underground river. I came up after seeing the light and was unaware that this was your sect's territory. I apologize."
Snow Empress was stunned; she hadn't expected Chen Yuan to lie so calmly.
Shrek Academy? Exterminate Evil Soul Master? You're from Shrek Inner Court?
Before Nan Shuishui could react, Heavenly Dragon Douluo was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. Compared to Nan Shuishui, he knew more about Shrek Academy.
Their Heavenly Dragon Sect's inherited martial spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. After the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation ten thousand years ago, only some remnants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan remained.
Their Heavenly Dragon Sect is descended from Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, as well as some disciples who were lucky enough to escape the calamity. Besides them, there is another Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline still existing on the continent.
That branch is the descendant of Yu Xiaogang, the Grandmaster teacher of the Sea God Tang Sect. Currently, the family has dwindled, with only Mu En and Bei Bei remaining.
As the only two bloodlines of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, they naturally had some interactions, though not very deep.
But as the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Heavenly Dragon Douluo knew exactly who was left of the dwindling Grandmaster lineage.
In some ways, the connection between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and Shrek Academy is much closer than that between other sects, including the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
Their Heavenly Dragon Sect occasionally sends some disciples to the Shrek Academy to study.
However, because the number of students in Shrek Inner Court is so small, you'll hardly ever see anyone from the Shrek Academy in Dragon City.
So seeing the Shrek Academy students with whom they had some connection, Heavenly Dragon Douluo felt a little curious.
"Yes, absolutely genuine."
Chen Yuan showed the token that Mu En had given him earlier. With the strength of Titled Douluo, he could easily distinguish the authenticity of the token from this distance.
After glancing at the token, Heavenly Dragon Douluo nodded, acknowledging Chen Yuan's identity.
"Extermining Evil Soul Master, accidentally entering an underground river, and then ending up in the well of the Earth Dragon Sect —this experience is a bit too bizarre, isn't it?"
"But that's the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Seeing Chen Yuan's genuine expression, Heavenly Dragon Douluo turned his face away. He had passed this test, but this was still Earth Dragon Sect's territory, and the Earth Dragon Sect was still in charge.
Seeing that Heavenly Dragon Douluo had acknowledged the identities of the two, Nan Shuishui naturally didn't intend to cause any more trouble. To be able to enter Shrek, one must either have great talent or a powerful family background.
Regardless of the reason, Nan Shuishui didn't want to create another enemy for the Earth Dragon Sect Gate out of thin air.
Moreover, it seems that their Earth Dragon Sect suffered no losses in this matter.
Wait a minute—the spiritual energy in that well—
Nan Shuishui always felt that the two of them were related to the decrease in spiritual energy in the well.
"Gentlemen, did you see anything underwater? That's a place even Titled Douluo can't easily set foot in. Are you both alright?"
"No, it was just a bit chilly; I almost froze to death down there."
"In that case, why don't you two rest and recuperate inside my Dragon Gate before leaving?"
"No need, I don't see any problem with it."
"But the girl next to you doesn't look too well."
Heavenly Dragon Douluo scrutinized the two again; it was rare to find someone from the Shrek Academy so polite.
The two clearly traveled together. Heavenly Dragon Douluo couldn't quite gauge Chen Yuan's strength, but he could clearly sense that the silent woman beside him was only around level forty.
When will someone at this level be able to enter Shrek Inner Court and join the Inspector Group to eradicate Evil Soul Master?
Could this person have stolen their token?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Heavenly Dragon Douluo stepped forward, came to the well behind the two of them, and felt the temperature inside.
Seeing this, Nan Shuishui followed suit, but was surprised to find that the temperature of the well was no longer icy cold, and the spiritual energy was pitifully scarce.
This well is now useless.
"Sect Leader Nan, these two little brats have ruined your Dragon Gate's resources. Even if they are Shrek students, you still need to give them an explanation, right?"
"Gentlemen, please give my Earth Dragon Sect an explanation!"
Nan Shuishui stepped forward, and eight Soul Ring appeared beside her—two yellow, two purple, and four black. Upon seeing that she was a Soul Douluo expert, a hint of unease flashed across Snow Empress's face.
This subtle expression naturally did not escape the discerning eyes of Titled Douluo, who immediately understood that this woman was definitely hiding something.
Then, the cultivation of Titled Douluo poured out, and nine Soul Ring appeared—two yellow, two purple, and five black—pressing down on the two of them with overwhelming power.
Snow Empress's face paled. She was only a Soul Ancestor at the moment, and she had just expended a lot of her Soul Power. But as the ruler of the Far North, how could she tolerate a mere Titled Douluo provoking her?
Surrounded by four Soul Ring —two purple and two black—that defied normal comprehension, not only Nan Shuishui and Heavenly Dragon Douluo, but even Chen Yuan was dumbfounded.
Wait, is it possible for a soul beast to have such an outrageous Soul Ring Soul Beast Transformation and re-cultivating? How is this possible?
Chen Yuan was filled with longing for this outrageous Soul Ring Configuration.
However, now is not a good time for Chen Yuan to ask Snow Empress about the situation with her Soul Ring. Faced with the pressure of Titled Douluo, Chen Yuan did not release his Soul Ring and withstood the pressure with his physical body alone.
"There's definitely a problem. I've only ever seen this kind of Soul Ring Configuration on Evil Soul Master, but you don't have that nauseating aura that Evil Soul Master possess."
"How did you manage to hide it? Or have I misunderstood you, and you really just came here by accident?"
With such an outrageous Soul Ring Configuration, it would be understandable to become Shrek Inner Court disciple at level 40-something. However, such a Soul Ring Configuration has only been seen on Evil Soul Master in the past.
These are all powerful Evil Soul Master, a situation that makes Heavenly Dragon Douluo very uneasy.
If these two really aren't Evil Soul Master, Heavenly Dragon Douluo feels he still needs to offer some compensation.
After all, what's the difference between slandering someone as Evil Soul Master and pointing your finger at someone and yelling, "You're not human!"
"Forget it, there's no point in asking. Sect Master Nan, if they aren't Evil Soul Master and it's confirmed that the disappearance of the well's spiritual energy was their doing, just have them compensate your Earth Dragon Sect for the losses, how about that?"
"Alright! Old Tianlong, I'll listen to you."
