Seeking Justice (Please Bookmark)

"Tianmeng, I can't hold on much longer."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, one hand tightly gripping Wang Dong's wrist while the other pressed against the core of the flying soul tool. The metal casing beneath his palm was already hot enough to nearly burn his skin.

Silver-white soul power radiated from the core in rings, propelling the two of them rapidly upward through the air. Though they were moving quickly, the murderous intent behind them was closing in faster and faster.

"They're here."

A clear, cold voice rang out. The next instant, the pitch-black night sky abruptly changed color as a layer of jade-green light spread down from the heavens.

"What?"

The lead assassin had just raised his head when, before he could even cry out, his entire body—along with the six soul rings around him—was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. Several figures following behind him were likewise frozen one after another beneath that extreme chill, the glow of their soul rings sealed within ice.

"Courting death."

A twin-tailed girl with jade-green hair appeared in the sky. Looking down at the assassins who had become blocks of ice, there was not the slightest emotion in her eyes.

"Thank you, Ice—"

Huo Yuhao relaxed upon seeing the Ice Empress and was about to thank her when her voice reached his ear.

"Bing Xue."

Hearing that, Huo Yuhao immediately corrected himself. "Thank you, Sister Bing Xue."

"Mm."

At this moment, the powerful figures from within Shrek also arrived nearby.

When Yan Shaozhe's gaze swept over the frozen ice sculptures below, his pupils contracted slightly. He raised his head to look at the green-haired girl, his eyes carrying a complicated expression.

Ultimate Ice... a level 98 powerhouse...

Looking at the girl named Bing Xue, Yan Shaozhe genuinely felt a toothache. They had searched for Ultimate Ice for so long in the past, yet now two of them had appeared.

"Lady Bing Xue."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's voice, the Ice Empress merely glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Seeing the Ice Empress's demeanor, cold sweat broke out on Yan Shaozhe's back. This one did not seem easy to communicate with. A level 98 powerhouse with Ultimate Ice—her strength was probably not much weaker than that of a Limit Douluo.

If they truly came to blows, Mu En was likely the only person in Shrek City's inner court who could suppress her.

"I didn't say anything last time, but Shrek's security really is terrible this time."

Xia Liang's voice came from nearby as he appeared beside the Ice Empress.

"Lord World, this was indeed our fault."

Yan Shaozhe immediately replied and gave a slight bow. Though he agreed verbally, his mind was already rapidly calculating how to quell the other party's anger. However, before he could offer further apologies, he saw Xia Liang raise a hand and lightly turn it toward the ground. The frozen ice sculptures immediately cracked apart.

One black shadow was stripped from the shattered ice and floated into the air. A peculiar token fell from its waist and landed in Xia Liang's hand.

"I originally thought it was just children fooling around."

After Xia Liang spoke, Yan Shaozhe sensed that something was wrong and was horrified. Could these assassins have been... How was that possible? Dai Huabin actually...

"Come on, little Yuhao. I'll take you to seek some justice."

Huo Yuhao had also thought of something, excitement appearing in his eyes.

"Dean Yan, this truly has nothing to do with Shrek Academy. I'll take Yuhao to find the real culprit."

With that, Xia Liang set Wang Dong down to one side, then vanished into the sky with Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress.

"White Tiger Duke's Estate... this is troublesome."

Yan Shaozhe felt a headache coming on. Children's matters could be settled by children, but Dai Huabin's actions involved adults. In that case, it was entirely reasonable for Xia Liang to intervene.

"Hurry. Use our informants to contact the White Tiger Duke's Estate."

Yan Shaozhe immediately gave the order. All he could hope was that his message would reach the White Tiger Duke's Estate before Xia Liang did.

Otherwise, a level 99 Limit Douluo plus a level 98 Super Douluo was not something an ordinary faction could afford to provoke.

"Come on. I'll take you to collect a little interest."

Xia Liang brought Huo Yuhao along while the Ice Empress had already returned to the Sea of Spirit.

This was a good opportunity to take Huo Yuhao to the White Tiger Duke's Estate and collect a little interest.

The Dragon Core he had obtained from Mu En did indeed contain traces of Dragon Valley's aura, but they were far too faint.

Xia Liang could not find Dragon Valley based on those traces, and his research had run into a problem he could not resolve for the time being. This outing was a good chance for him to take a walk.

"Thank you, Brother Xia Liang."

Huo Yuhao was extremely grateful.

"We're going too."

Tianmeng, the Ice Empress, and Electrolux all intended to help Huo Yuhao put on a show of strength, preventing anyone from coming to cause trouble again in the future.

"Sure. I'll provide you with origin power later."

Seeing how lively the little team in the Sea of Spirit was, Xia Liang made a grand gesture and took responsibility for supplying everyone with the origin power needed to move about outside.

Electrolux transformed into a black-robed man, the Ice Empress remained the jade-green-haired twin-tailed girl, and Tianmeng became a white-robed young man, leaning against the Ice Empress as he flew.

"Get lost."

"Hehehe~"

They did not conceal their auras. Four terrifying presences directly blanketed the entirety of Star Luo City.

"Who dares—"

Several guardian Douluo rose into the sky, intending to stop the group above.

But the very next second, an extreme sense of danger appeared in their perceptions.

"I'm only here for the White Tiger Duke. If anyone wishes to court death, I don't mind sending them on their way."

The guardian Douluo were so frightened by Xia Liang's aura that they did not dare move at all. This was simply not someone they could deal with.

"Go report to His Majesty."

The guardian Douluo exchanged looks. One went to find the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, while the rest followed behind Xia Liang.

Soon, they arrived above the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

"May I ask how the White Tiger Duke's Estate has offended you, honored guests? My estate is willing to offer compensation."

Naturally, the White Tiger Duke's Estate had powerful individuals of its own, but even its strongest were only at the Soul Douluo level.

"Hmm..."

Xia Liang considered for a moment, then threw nine Flame Bombs from his hand. The Flame Bombs continuously expanded, transforming into nine enormous meteors.

"Honored guests!"

The moment that Soul Douluo powerhouse saw the nine meteors, his voice changed pitch. He could clearly sense that each meteor contained enough energy to erase the entire ducal estate from the ground. His knees went slightly weak, and he nearly could not stop himself from begging for mercy.

"Honored guests, please stop first. We can discuss this calmly."

It would have been one thing if it were limited in scale; the guardian Douluo would not have interfered much. But the power of this soul skill looked as if it could directly destroy half of Star Luo City. Was this really a human? This was probably the limit of what a human could achieve.

Just as the guardian Douluo stepped forward, Tianmeng unfolded his spiritual domain, the Ice Empress also unleashed a domain, and Electrolux swung his staff, causing a magic formation to surround them.

What kind of people were these?

Domains—two domains!

Though they did not know what that strange formation was, every guardian Douluo could guarantee that it was in no way inferior to the domains unleashed by the other two.

"It was originally just a conflict between children. But Dai Huabin actually sent a Soul King to assassinate my junior? I don't want to bully the young, so I had no choice but to come here and seek justice."

After hearing Xia Liang's words, the Douluo looked at the nine flaming meteors in the sky, the two domains, and the magic formation.

Was this really seeking justice? Were they sure they had not come to raid the estate and wipe out the family?

"Lord World, please show mercy. I can guarantee that the White Tiger Duke's Estate will offer compensation that satisfies you."

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe arrived in Star Luo City through certain special means. He was willing to act as a mediator between the two sides.

In truth, Yan Shaozhe did not wish to come out and mediate, but the White Tiger Duke's Estate was extremely important. It concerned the border security against the Sun Moon Empire and could not be allowed to fail.

"Lord World, the White Tiger Duke's Estate is also part of my Star Luo Empire. Since they have erred, I, as emperor, should also offer compensation."

At this moment, Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, appeared within both sides' sight along with the Healing Immortal Douluo, Wang Xian'er.
