Myriad Phenomena Seeks the Truth

In the VIP Passage, Luo Heng knelt on the ground, sweat dripping down his face.

Zhu Zhuqing pressed the man in the gray cloak against the wall; his face was even paler than Zhu Zhuqing's.

Dugu Bo stood to the side without saying a word.

He doesn't need to speak.

The mere presence of Titled Douluo is the greatest deterrent.

Yuan Yu laid out the Snow-Character Token, ledgers, and envelopes in a row.

"Luo Heng, who arranged for the pharmacy?"

Luo Heng spoke, his voice trembling.

"Mr. Xu."

The Rosy Cloud Pattern did not light up.

Yuan Yu nodded.

"Whom does Mr. Xu listen to?"

Luo Heng's Adam's apple bobbed.

"I have no idea."

The Rosy Cloud Pattern glowed faintly.

Yuan Yu looked up.

"We'll see."

Luo Heng's face turned pale.

"Lu Chen of the Snow Ridge Trading Company! Mr. Xu has been meeting with Lu Chen!"

Yuan Yu looked at the gray cloak.

"Are you Lu Chen?"

The man in the gray cloak gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Dugu Bo flicked his finger.

A drop of green poisonous gas landed at the feet of the gray-cloaked figure.

A small pit immediately appeared in the ground due to decay.

The man in the gray cloak's legs went weak.

"I am Lu Chen."

Yuan Yu asked, "Who carved the Snow-Character Token?"

Lu Chen said in a low voice, "I."

"Who told you to carve it?"

"Steward Cheng."

"Which Steward Cheng?"

Lu Chen shut up.

Before Yuan Yu could speak, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the end of the passage.

A dark figure rushed out from the shadows, heading straight for Luo Heng and Lu Chen.

Six Spirit Ring lit up.

Soul Emperor.

This person remained hidden in the shadows outside the VIP Passage.

The pistol dodged the ropes and went straight for Lu Chen's throat.

If Luo Heng and Lu Chen are dead, the account books and letters can still be claimed to be forgeries.

But as long as they live, the connection with Cheng Su will never be severed.

"Silence them!"

Tang San gave a low shout.

The Blue Silver Grass immediately swirled towards Luo Heng.

Zhu Zhuqing led Lu Chen to retreat.

The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, its short gun aimed straight for Lu Chen's throat.

Lu Chen was so frightened that he didn't even know how to dodge.

Zhu Zhuqing grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him back half a step.

The short gun grazed the ground just before it hit the Lu Chen, leaving a shallow trail of blood.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass simultaneously entangled Luo Heng, pulling him out of the spear path.

The two were guilty, but Shrek and his companion pulled them back from the brink of death.

Dugu Bo stood still.

His gaze was fixed on the shadowy figure; the poison would arrive before the person even took half a step past Yuan Yu.

But Yuan Yu had already drawn his sword.

Yuan Yu stood still, his Sun Wheel Blade half an inch from its sheath.

Thunder Pattern.

The Wind Pattern is bright.

The Rock Pattern is bright.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form"

"Thunderclap and Flash."

Lightning Flash exploded.

The pistol missed by half a foot.

The shadowy figure's eyelid twitched.

A Soul King actually managed to deflect Soul Emperor's spear head-on.

Just as the shadowy figure was about to change its move, Wind Pattern had already swept to its side.

"Wind Breathing - Second Form".

"Claw Claw · Science House Wind".

The blades clashed, and the shadowy figure's sleeve was sliced open, drawing blood from his wrist.

He roared, and his Sixth Spirit Ring lit up.

The ground trembled violently, and the Soul Power transformed into a giant black dog that pounced on Yuan Yu.

Yuan Yu did not retreat.

The Rock Pattern lit up.

"Stone Breathing - First Form"

"Serpent-Pattern Rock Dual Extremes"

The scabbard slammed down heavily.

Boom!

The giant black dog was smashed to pieces by the Soul Power the Rock Pattern soul.

The dark figure was sent flying backward, crashing into the stone wall of the passage and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Several fine cracks appeared in the stone wall.

Everyone in the corridor fell silent for a moment.

The Soul Emperor lay amidst the rubble, his short spear rolling to the side.

From the moment he made his move until he fell, he didn't even touch Lu Chen's collar again.

Three moves.

The Soul Emperor was defeated.

Ma Hongjun stared, his eyes wide.

"This is level 55?"

Oscar swallowed hard.

"You going up there would be another move for me too."

Can't you wish me something good?

Dugu Bo stared at Yuan Yu's knife, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

It's not that he hasn't seen geniuses before.

But this twelve-year-old Soul King is even more troublesome than the rumors suggest.

The dark figure struggled to crush the poison sac in its teeth.

Tang San was prepared and sealed his jaw with a needle.

Yuan Yu walked up to Lu Chen.

"Continue."

The last shred of hope on Lu Chen's face vanished.

"Cheng Su External Affairs Steward at the Prince Xue Xing's Estate. The Prince didn't give the order personally; Cheng Su is using the Prince's Mansion's name to do it. He wants to take down some of the hidden agents at the Soto Great Soul Arena and also wants to use the Imperial Fighting to test Shrek."

Yuan Yu did not respond immediately.

He took out the half of the paper with the character "Cheng" written on it and put it together with the letter.

The handwriting is not exactly the same.

But the paper, wax residue, and moisture-proofing powder all matched.

Tang San said in a low voice, "The same route, east and west."

Ning Rongrong also said, "The Snow Ridge Trading Company deals in medicinal herbs, carriages, and soul guide components; they can indeed handle external affairs for the Prince's Residence External Affairs."

Dugu Bo looked at Lu Chen.

"Are you using the word 'snow' to frame someone, or to take advantage of the situation?"

Lu Chen dared not hide it.

"Both are true. Steward Cheng said that the word 'snow' can evoke images of the Prince's Mansion, and it also makes it difficult for the Prince's Mansion to distance itself from the matter. If something really happens, outsiders won't dare to investigate too deeply."

Yuan Yu smiled.

"Unfortunately, he dragged Senior Dugu into this as well."

Dugu Bo's expression grew even colder.

Qin Ming clenched his fists.

Before the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could even open its recruitment pitch, someone outside had already prepared a mudslinging match.

If Shrek gets into trouble at the Soto Spirit Arena, and someone else steps in to "clean up the mess," it will be difficult for Shrek to stand up straight.

Qin Ming felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about this.

He almost led his junior classmates into a trap set by someone else.

Qin Ming walked in from outside the passage, his face grim.

"Testing Shrek?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"Some people at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have their eyes on Shrek students, while others don't want them to enter the academy with a clean record. If Shrek get into trouble at the Soto Spirit Arena, they'll be offered higher prices to recruit them later."

Ning Rongrong said coldly, "So you harmed us first, and then pretended to be good people?"

Lu Chen lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Dugu Bo's voice was cold.

"And Yan Yan."

Lu Chen shuddered.

"Cheng Su said that Miss Dugu is proud, and as long as Tang San breaks the poison, she will definitely send you a message. If you get involved, Shrek will be more easily captured by the Heaven Dou faction."

Dugu Bo laughed.

His laughter sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Well done, Cheng Su."

Lu Chen immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Senior, spare my life! I was just doing my job; I didn't mean to harm Miss Dugu!"

Dugu Bo stared at him coldly.

"You didn't think about it?"

A green light appeared at his fingertip.

"By the time you've thought it through, will she still be alive standing here?"

Yuan Yu raised his hand to stop him.

"Senior, spare their lives. Live prisoners are worth more than dead ones."

Dugu Bo glanced at him, and the poisonous light slowly receded.

You'd better make him valuable.

Yuan Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, he's worth more than Gold Soul Coin now."

Yuan Yu sheathed his Sun Wheel Blade.

The Rosy Cloud Pattern on the blade shone brightly and steadily.

This time, it's not just a chill.

It is Qingming Festival.

The first paragraph of the Sixth Trial is about to end.

Ma Hongjun moved closer to Tang San.

"Hey, is Yuan Yu's knife getting more and more strange?"

Tang San looked at the Rosy Cloud Pattern.

"It's not strange, it's just clearer now."

"Can you understand?"

"Can't understand."

"Then why are you being so serious?"

Tang San withdrew his gaze.

"Because he seemed to understand."

He didn't rush to announce the end.

Rosy Cloud Pattern is still waiting for the last piece of evidence.

We have a survivor.

The ledgers are ready.

The letter arrived.

The question is still whether Cheng Su will adopt his own attitude.

As long as that person still wants to use the Prince's Mansion's mansion to maintain control, they will definitely send another message.
