There's a mole!

Ling Chen remained calm and composed; he was inherently a controversial figure. To him, speaking with the tone of an adult was perfectly normal.

After all, having been reincarnated into a younger body, Ling Chen had effectively lived over a dozen years longer than his appearance suggested. If they wanted him to revert to the speech patterns of a child, they would likely have to wipe his memories.

"Oh my, Dean Flender, your memory really is poor! I just wonder, where do owls usually bury their dead?"

Ling Chen wore a wicked smirk. Flender immediately understood what Ling Chen was implying, took a few steps back, and adjusted his glasses.

"Brat! Even though you have Sword Douluo backing you, don't forget, this is my territory! You are in my hands now, and I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Ling Chen stretched fearlessly, staring at Flender with disdain.

"That's fine, I have plenty of ways to deal with your ancestors, too!"

"You..."

Flender was so angry he gritted his teeth, while Yu Xiaogang patted him on the shoulder.

"You're a grown man, why are you bickering with a child?"

Flender was not pleased to hear this.

"When your Graveyard Mountain was turned upside down, you wanted to risk your life against him! You say I'm bickering with a child, why don't you talk about yourself!"

Ling Chen tried to slip away during the gap in their argument, but a figure blocked his path.

"Where do you think you're going, little one?"

Liu Erlong's hand pressed lightly onto Ling Chen's shoulder, yet his body felt as if it had been filled with lead, unable to move an inch.

"Is it not shameful for so many adults to bully a child like me?"

Liu Erlong gave a cold laugh at these words, the pressure on Ling Chen increasing by a few degrees.

"We don't believe for a second that you're just a child! At an age where you should be crying over scraped knees, you aren't exactly playing house. Even Martial Soul Hall wouldn't dare to go as far as you do with murder and grave robbing."

"You, on the other hand, wear the skin of a child while committing filthy deeds! I even suspect that you are one of Martial Soul Hall's own!"

Ling Chen was not angered; instead, he burst into manic laughter.

"Hahahaha! What you say has some logic to it, but where is the proof? If Title Douluo can just rely on their tongues to stir up trouble, then doesn't that make your relationship with Yu Xiaogang a logical conclusion?"

When it came to debating scholars or using moral kidnapping, Ling Chen was not afraid.

He had neither parents nor relatives here. Having arrived in Slaughter City with no connections, what was morality? Ling Chen saw only human nature.

Ling Chen was, at the very least, a person who had received higher education. As a law-abiding citizen, he naturally knew how to deal with unreasonable people.

"You are older than me, so I respect you as my seniors. But if you insist on making things difficult for me, then I will accompany you to the end!"

Liu Erlong's face turned livid; this had struck a nerve.

"The feelings between Xiaogang and me are true love! It is not something that can be explained by a few words from a brat like you."

Driven by shame and anger, Liu Erlong raised her palm, intending to slap this ill-mannered, foul-mouthed child.

Ling Chen narrowed his eyes. He knew this woman had a volatile temper. If she acted, she would do so without regard for the consequences.

If that slap landed, Ling Chen would not only be bruised and swollen, but he might also lose a few teeth.

But was Ling Chen afraid? When thirty Soul Kings from Martial Soul Hall surrounded him, he hadn't even frowned; when a hundred people besieged him in Slaughter City, he had never felt fear.

"Hit me! It's just a slap from a Soul Douluo, what kind of scenes have I, Li Tianyi, not witnessed!"

Ling Chen glared, unable to comprehend the actions of Liu Erlong and the others. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon sect had been wiped out; instead of going back to see what had happened, why were they targeting a seven-year-old child?

The slender hand Liu Erlong was about to swing was caught by a large hand. Liu Erlong paused slightly. Looking back, she saw the calm and resolute face of Yu Xiaogang.

The two gazed at each other affectionately, and Ling Chen felt goosebumps rise all over his skin.

This is love? I love your mother's twisted affection!

Ling Chen couldn't help but complain internally. The desire to leave grew stronger, but Liu Erlong's hand remained pressed firmly on his shoulder.

He had no issue with them showing affection in private, but seeing it so brazenly displayed in the academy made Ling Chen feel somewhat nauseated.

Ning Rongrong and Flender stood to the side, saying nothing. Ling Chen could only helplessly close his eyes, his consciousness entering the Dragon Pillar Space.

There were still some questions he hadn't figured out. First was his clone; after experiencing it for the past few days, even he felt it was absurd.

Second was his second martial soul. Logically, the martial soul he awakened should have been a random beast martial soul.

Even if the Martial Soul Origin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon accounted for a high percentage, it should still have been possible to obtain other beast martial souls.

Ling Chen could ask the Golden Dragon about these issues; it might know something.

Martial Soul City, Martial Soul Hall.

A Red Cardinal was reporting the casualties of the Soul Hunting Operation.

"Your Holiness, in the battle against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we dispatched ten thousand soul masters, and only one thousand survived! Of the four elders, one has fallen, and one has lost an arm! We were forced to retreat!"

Bibi Dong had been enjoying her tea, but upon hearing this bad news, she crushed the teacup in a fit of rage.

"Trash, a bunch of trash! Ten thousand soul masters and four Title Douluo, and you couldn't even take down a small support-type sect!"

"You even launched a sneak attack, yet you still managed to lose a Title Douluo and nine thousand soul masters! You have truly disgraced Martial Soul Hall!"

Bibi Dong slammed her Pope Scepter down, causing the entire Martial Soul Hall to tremble. The Red-Robed Cardinal didn't dare to breathe, terrified that he would die right there if he made a sound.

"What about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Bibi Dong asked coldly. She dared not imagine that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could have forcibly withstood this Soul Hunting Operation, so what about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon side? Could the situation be even worse?

"They have been annihilated! However, we also suffered heavy losses!"

The Red-Robed Cardinal replied tremblingly.

Only then did Bibi Dong restrain her aura slightly. Although this casualty result was unsatisfactory, the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had achieved Bibi Dong's primary objective.

"Tell me, what kind of unexpected turn of events occurred at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Since there was a failed operation, Bibi Dong had to carry out the corresponding punishments and summarize the aftermath of the failure.

"The child you are looking for, named Li Tianyi, is at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It is because of his domain! His domain causes even a Title Douluo's attributes to drop to 82%, and its range is massive!"

"Not only that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seemed to have been prepared long in advance. Before we even entered the range of the city walls, nearly a thousand of our men were wiped out by Chen Xin and Gu Rong."

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow; this matter was not so simple.

Her Soul Hunting Operation was an order issued among the highest echelons; it was impossible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to have known in advance.

Unless... there was a mole!
