I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 151: Shocking Star Luo Emperor

To be straightforward or not, Porcupine Douluo considered.

After a brief hesitation, he made up his mind.

After all, his mission was to convey this matter to Qian Daoliu.

He said with a stiff upper lip, "Grand Worship, there have been some minor changes in Qin Xiao's situation, and it may deviate slightly from the outcome you expected."

"Oh? What changes?" Qian Daoliu's expression also changed immediately, and he asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that Qin Xiao has proposed other conditions to you again?"

People are dead, what other conditions could there be? Isn't that absurd? This thought flashed through Porcupine Douluo's mind, and he shook his head, "No."

However, upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu found it even more interesting, "What do you mean by 'minor changes'?"

"That." Porcupine Douluo hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Back to the Grand Worship, Qin Xiao... Qin Xiao, he..."

"What happened to him? Could it be that he died again?" Qian Daoliu frowned.

"Yes, he's dead!" Porcupine Douluo's heart trembled, and he spoke without hesitation.

"Dead is dead, just say it straightforwardly!"

Qian Daoliu muttered at first, but soon realized something was amiss.

The tightly furrowed brow suddenly relaxed.

"Wait a minute, Porcupine, what did you say? Qin Xiao is dead?"

Qian Daoliu's voice suddenly became a little louder.

Surprise filled his face.

He asked again, inquiring about the truth from Porcupine Douluo!

"Grand Worship, Qin Xiao is really dead."

Seeing Porcupine Douluo nodding with an ugly expression, Qian Daoliu had to believe this fact.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Qian Daoliu breathed heavily, trying to calm his restless mood.

Thinking back to what Porcupine Douluo had said earlier, he couldn't help but chuckle in frustration, "Minor changes? Is this what you call a minor change? As the saying goes, the dead are the most important. Qin Xiao is dead, and you tell me this is a minor matter?"

"Well, I remember you once said to us, Grand Worship, that as long as it doesn't involve the life or death of the Spirit Hall, it's not a big deal. You told us to stay calm."

Porcupine Douluo dared not look into Qian Daoliu's eyes, but he whispered to himself.

At this, Qian Daoliu fell silent.

He remembered saying those words when he had just taken over as the Grand Worship, full of youthful arrogance, thinking he was invincible in the Douluo Continent.

Although he had been smoothed over by Tang Chen and Bo Saixi later, how could he take back what he had said?

"When did this happen?"

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu asked again.

"Just a few days ago, outside Tian Dou City, hundreds of miles away. Qin Xiao had a battle with an unknown strong opponent. By the time I arrived, I couldn't see any trace of either side."

Porcupine Douluo summarized the incident in a simple sentence.

"Qin Xiao informed you in advance before he went to battle with the strong opponent?"

Qian Daoliu asked again.

"Not really," Porcupine Douluo shook his head. "It was Ning Fengzhi, the Lord of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who came to the Imperial Palace and confidently told the Young Master that one of the parties in the battle was Qin Xiao."

"I see," Qian Daoliu nodded.

He knew that Qin Xiao had a close relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Since the news about Qin Xiao came directly from Ning Fengzhi, it was almost certain.

"The strong opponent?"

"As far as I know, Qin Xiao's strength is not weak. Who could directly kill him? Could it be that he was slain by someone else?" Qian Daoliu said in a low voice, his face full of thought.

From the information he received, apart from Tang Chen or Bo Saixi, and the Spirit Hall's Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who else could kill Qin Xiao?

At this moment, Porcupine Douluo saw the doubt in Qian Daoliu's eyes and quickly said, "According to my sensing ability, it is very likely that it was a strong individual who is infinitely close to you. Ning Fengzhi also said that he found golden scales at the scene, so he speculated that the assailant who attacked Qin Xiao was probably not a human, but a powerful soul beast."

"Did Ning Fengzhi say anything else? Let me hear it all."

"Yes."

Porcupine Douluo briefly repeated what Ning Fengzhi had said, then repeated it again for Qian Daoliu.

"A powerful being among soul beasts!?"

"Could it be someone on par with me?"

After a moment, Porcupine Douluo recited almost every word Ning Fengzhi had said.

Qian Daoliu remained outwardly calm, but his heart was shaken.

As far as he knew, there was no such powerful existence among soul beasts.

Could it be that deep within the Star Dou Forest, there was still an unknown entity?

But...

"Did Ning Fengzhi say why that suspected soul beast attacked Qin Xiao?"

"No."

"Then there's even less reason for Qin Xiao to engage in a battle with it."

Qian Daoliu was even more puzzled.

"Is it possible that the soul beast wanted to attack Tian Dou City, and Qin Xiao was protecting it?" Porcupine Douluo said quietly.

After all, soul beasts and humans were natural enemies, so it was quite normal for a powerful soul beast to emerge from the Star Dou Forest and attack human cities.

Qian Daoliu fell silent after hearing Porcupine Douluo's words; this was also a possibility.

Perhaps there were some unknown things between Qian Renxue and Qin Xiao.

After a moment.

"What does Xue'er think about this matter?"

Qian Daoliu asked Porcupine Douluo in a deep voice.

"The Young Mistress hopes that the Grand Worship will take action to find the real culprit and help Qin Xiao seek revenge."

Porcupine Douluo didn't forget Qian Renxue's instructions.

"Go back to Xue'er and tell her that I will handle this matter."

"Yes!"

Porcupine Douluo respectfully agreed and quickly withdrew.

He felt fortunate that this matter was resolved.

He had also saved his own life.

On the other hand, Qian Daoliu stood still for a moment, lost in thought, before finally making a decision. "Forget it, forget it, I'll go to the Star Dou Forest to investigate."

Elsewhere.

Shrek Academy.

A gust of wind swept by, and Qin Xiao's figure appeared in Shrek Academy.

First, he returned to his residence.

Surprisingly.

No one was there.

"Zhuqing and Yiran are not here?"

Qin Xiao muttered to himself with a strange expression before disappearing.

Not long after.

Qin Xiao had arrived outside Liu Erlong's door.

After some thought, Qin Xiao chose not to knock on Liu Erlong's door but instead used his powerful perception to probe through the door.

The result was another surprise for Qin Xiao.

Not only were Zhuqing and Yiran not there, but even Liu Erlong was gone.

"Where did they all go?"

Qin Xiao couldn't help but rub his chin with his hand, silently cursing.

Suddenly.

His eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and he faintly thought of a possibility.

"Could they have been taken away by Qian Renxue?"

Qin Xiao remembered that when he ordered Liu Erlong and Qian Renxue to evacuate, he thought he wouldn't survive, so he asked Qian Renxue to take care of Zhuqing, Yiran, and the others.

The current situation was very similar to being taken away by Qian Renxue.

"Let's go ask Flender first to see if he knows what's going on. It's better than going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and finding nothing."

With a thought, Qin Xiao disappeared on the spot.

...

"Dean, why do you always have a worried look on your face recently? Did something happen?"

"What's bothering you so much? Can you tell me and make me happy?"

In Dean Flender's office, Zhao Wuji asked with a smirk.

"Is your skin itching again?" Flender said unkindly.

On the other hand, Zhao Wuji wasn't afraid of Flender's threat at all. "Hehe, I just like it when you want to hit me but can't."

"There's nothing I can do. Who told you that I'm a Soul Douluo now? Even the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is held down by me and rubbed against the ground."

Zhao Wuji could be said to be extremely arrogant now.

Undoubtedly, this was all due to the confidence brought about by his increased strength.

"I'll tell you, if I could beat you, I would definitely beat you to death."

"Humph."

Flender snorted, no longer bothering with Zhao Wuji.

Of course, he secretly remembered Zhao Wuji's provocation; when the time came, old and new grievances would be settled together.

"Anyway, there's nothing to tell you."

"Old Zhao, have you felt any unrest recently?"

Flender asked Zhao Wuji.

The nonchalant Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes. "I haven't noticed. Is there something different?"

"Of course there's something different. Since His Majesty disappeared, there have been many unfamiliar faces outside the academy. I suspect they are spies from various forces. It's probably because His Majesty has been missing for too long, and some people can't suppress their restlessness anymore."

"Could it be that someone dares to have any bad intentions towards us?"

"If His Majesty is not here, so what? Even without His Majesty's intervention, I, Zhao Wuji, can handle each and every one of those kids with a slap."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand disdainfully.

A pair of large hands gently swayed, creating a formidable aura.

Undoubtedly, his recent cultivation had improved once again.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging. I admit you're powerful, but can the enemies under the Thunder Emperor's be just ordinary people? Can they be defeated by a Spirit Douluo-level expert?"

"If a formidable enemy really comes, your current cultivation wouldn't even be enough for them to lift a finger against."

Flender's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhao Wuji's head.

"Ah, well..."

Zhao Wuji rubbed the back of his head.

Indeed.

What Flender said made perfect sense.

If Qin Xiao's enemies arrived, he wouldn't be able to handle them.

After all, anyone qualified to be Qin Xiao's enemy would have to be at the level of a Titled Douluo.

"Alas, now even Erlong is not in the academy. I can't let the academy decline."

Flender sighed, "I really hope the Thunder Emperor could return soon."

However.

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Xiao's voice resounded, "I heard someone is looking for me?"

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and others all turned to the door.

Creak.

The wooden door was pushed open, and a figure appeared before them.

Instantly, both of them exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, you're back."

Qin Xiao waved his hand, signaling them not to be too excited, "Erlong, Zhuqing, Yiran, do you know where they went?"

Flender replied, "They left with Lord Dugu."

At the same time.

In the Star Luo Imperial City.

"Your Majesty, they... they have returned."

A voice from outside the palace disrupted the Star Luo Emperor inside the grand hall.

He hummed displeasingly, "In such a fluster, what decorum is this?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, forgive me, forgive me."

At this moment, a guard rushed into the hall, kneeling on the ground in panic, repeatedly knocking his head.

"Speak, what is it?"

The Star Luo Emperor didn't rush to punish the guard but asked in a deep voice.

He also had a faint premonition that something significant might have happened.

The guard dared not delay in the slightest, quickly replying, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu seeks an audience."

Lord Xu!
The Star Luo Emperor immediately stood up, waving his hand, "Let him in quickly."

At this moment, he forgot about punishing the guard.

"Yes."

The guard answered and swiftly departed as if granted amnesty.

In no time.

A ragged, disheveled old man accompanied by the guard entered the hall.

"Where is Lord Xu? Why did you bring a beggar up here?"

The Star Luo Emperor's face was full of displeasure.

"Your Majesty, it's me, really me!"

Lord Xu shouted loudly.

"It's really you, but why do you look like this!"

The Star Luo Emperor's expression changed, filled with surprise.

"Your Majesty..."

Lord Xu cried out again.

"You may leave first; I have important matters to discuss with Lord Xu."

The guard quietly exited the hall.

The Star Luo Emperor then solemnly asked the most concerning question, "Why did only you return? Where are the others?"

"The others..."

Asked by the Star Luo Emperor, Lord Xu's cloudy eyes instantly turned red, "They are dead, Your Majesty!"

"What, what!"

"They are all dead?"

The Star Luo Emperor was thunderstruck, unbelievingly asking.

"They're all dead, and they died horribly. Most of them, not even a complete body left. If it weren't for my Star Crown Martial Soul being particularly strange, I wouldn't be able to speak in front of you. But even so, I'm poisoned and won't last long."

Lord Xu's voice was full of regret.

Watching each teammate fall left a profound shadow in his heart.

And when they were escaping, he was also poisoned by Lord Dugu's Bi Lin Snake Venom, only suppressing it with his cultivation. However, after a few days, the venom had spread throughout his body, and unless a miracle occurred, there was no hope.

"Counting you, the nine Titled Douluos, and more than twenty Spirit Douluos, couldn't take down that rebel Qin Xiao?"

After a moment of silence, the Star Luo Emperor still couldn't accept this fact, "He, Qin Xiao, is just a Titled Douluo after all. How could he withstand the attacks of so many powerful people?"

Attacks?

Are we even qualified?

After listening to the Star Luo Emperor, Lord Xu smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you're mistaken. This Qin Xiao is not just a Titled Douluo but an exceptionally strong one among the Titled Douluos. When all of us attacked together, it wasn't an attack, but..."

As he spoke, Lord Xu couldn't continue.

Thinking of the next word, his heart ached.

"And what? Continue!"

In a commanding tone, the Star Luo Emperor urged him to go on.

Hearing this, Lord Xu had no choice but to continue, "Your Majesty, it wasn't an attack, but a massacre. No matter who it was, they weren't a match for him. Only the Marshal managed to exchange a few moves with him, but he died even more painfully."
