Chapter 218 Goodbye Yu Tianheng

Tiandou Empire, Tiandou Imperial City.

At the gate of Tiandou Imperial City, Luo Ling and Hu Liena returned here after seven days of travel.

It has been two years since Luo Ling left, and now the Tiandou Imperial City has become somewhat heavily guarded.

Looking at the long queue at the door and the heavily guarded guards, Luo Ling raised his eyebrows.

"Xiao Ling, Tiandou Imperial City seems to have changed." Hu Liena also frowned.

Tiandou Imperial City is the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, located in the heart of the Tiandou Empire. Now is a peaceful time, and it should not be so heavily guarded.

"There have been some changes. As for what's going on, we can just go in and ask." Luo Ling shrugged and walked straight towards the city gate.

Instead of waiting in the long line, he walked straight to the guards at the city gate.

Luo Ling took out the noble token given to him by Emperor Xue Ye.

After the Soul Master Competition, Emperor Xue Ye bestowed upon him the title of Imperial Marquis. There were few people in the entire Tiandou Empire with a more noble status than him.

Seeing Luo Ling and Hu Liena cutting in line, the guards at the city gate were about to intercept them when they saw the Marquis token in Luo Ling's hand and their eyes widened immediately.

"Your Excellency the Marquis!" the guard said respectfully.

"I'm Luo Ling. I haven't been to Tiandou Imperial City for a while. Has anything happened recently?" Luo Ling asked.

When the guard heard Luo Ling introduce himself, he thought for a moment and soon remembered Luo Ling's identity. His expression became more respectful.

"It turns out to be Marquis Luo Ling. You haven't been to Tiandou City for a year, right? Actually..."

The guard explained patiently, and Luo Ling roughly understood the situation.

Since a year ago, soul masters have often disappeared in Tiandou City, even students from the Advanced Soul Master Academy have been included.

Emperor Xue Ye ordered a thorough investigation, but found no clues.

Later, there were even cases where entire families of ordinary people were slaughtered, leaving only shocking bloodstains at the scene, while the bodies disappeared.

Later on, even the Empire's Royal Knights experienced a large number of disappearances, and for a time the entire Tiandou Imperial City was in panic.

Luo Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.

People are missing...

He couldn't help but think of what he felt in the City of Slaughter a year ago, when Emperor Xue Ye also performed the Blood Demon Ritual.

Emperor Xue Ye is an 88th-level Soul Douluo. If he wants to become a Titled Douluo, then it is not impossible for him to secretly hunt down soul masters for sacrifice.

When Luo Ling was in the City of Slaughter, he felt many sacrifices coming from the direction of Tiandou Imperial City. At that time, he thought it was the work of Yu Xiaogang, but now it seems that it might be the work of Emperor Xue Ye.

I just don't know whether Emperor Xue Ye has broken through to the Titled Douluo level.

Shaking his head slightly, Luo Ling didn't say anything more to the guard and entered Tiandou City with Hu Liena.

The streets of Tiandou City are not as prosperous as before. Royal knights patrolling can be seen from time to time, and there are fewer shops around. It seems that the missing population incident has caused some people to choose to leave Tiandou City.

The appearance of Luo Ling and Hu Liena attracted a lot of people's attention. Both of them were very outstanding in appearance. Luo Ling was okay, but Hu Liena had a cold murderous aura.

Although Luo Ling had tried his best to help Hu Liena suppress her murderous aura in the City of Slaughter, after leaving the Road of Hell, Hu Liena obtained the Domain of the God of Killing.

The murderous aura that comes with the God of Killing's domain needs to be controlled by Hu Liena herself.

The pedestrians on the roadside moved aside after seeing Hu Liena's aura of keeping strangers away. Hu Liena frowned, she could feel that the pedestrians' actions were directed at her.

"Constrain your murderous intent." Luo Ling reminded softly.

Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then reacted with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

The murderous aura was slightly restrained, but the effect was not obvious.

The two men were like plague gods, and all living creatures retreated wherever they passed.

Just as the two were walking, several familiar figures appeared in front of Luo Ling.

The leader was a black-haired boy with a sturdy build, followed by two men, a fat red-haired man, and a handsome young man.

A hint of surprise appeared on Luo Ling's face. He didn't expect that the first people he would meet after returning to Tiandou City would be them.

Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

Luo Ling remembered that at the end of the Soul Master Competition, there were rumors that Ma Hongjun and Oscar had joined the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Now it seems that this is accurate news.

Yu Tianheng and the other two also noticed Luo Ling and Hu Liena and were stunned.

"Long time no see, you three." Luo Ling walked up to them with a smile.

Yu Tianheng and the other two looked at each other and walked up, "Brother Luo Ling, it seems like we haven't seen each other for two years since the Soul Master Competition."

Yu Tianheng looked at Luo Ling and felt his strength. After passing the Blood Demon Ritual in the past two years, his strength has reached the level of Soul King at level 55, which can be said to be rapid progress.

But even so, Yu Tianheng still didn't dare to conflict with Luo Ling. Two years ago, Luo Ling was already a Soul Emperor and possessed a 100,000-year soul ring. Even if he had broken through to become a Soul King now, he would be asking for trouble if he went up against Luo Ling.

"It's been two years." Luo Ling also looked at Yu Tianheng and the other two. Under his powerful soul perception, the strength of the three could not be hidden at all.

In addition to Yu Tianheng's breakthrough to Soul King, Ma Hongjun and Oscar are also only one step away from Soul King.

To have improved so much in two years, it was obvious that a lot of blood and flesh had been sacrificed.

Luo Ling laughed secretly in his heart. It was thanks to their sacrifice that he was able to break through to level 70 in the Slaughter City. Now, as long as he obtained two soul rings, he could break through to the Soul Saint level.

"Brother Ling!"

"Luo Ling!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar also came up at this time, looking at Luo Ling with complicated eyes.

Two years ago, it was Luo Ling who brought disgrace upon Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, and it almost affected them, but they were still quite in awe of Luo Ling.

Luo Ling glanced at the three of them, revealing a meaningful expression, and said with a smile: "Your strength has improved very quickly, which is very good."

"However, it is better not to touch some things that should not be touched, so as to avoid disaster."

Luo Ling's voice was very calm, but when Yu Tianheng and the other two heard this, their faces changed.

Their strength did improve rapidly, and they did touch upon taboos. This was their most important secret.

"Luo Ling, what do you mean by this?" Yu Tianheng said stiffly.

"Nothing, I just thought of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. They have become evil spirit masters that everyone hates. You used to be their teammates, so don't follow in their footsteps." Luo Ling smiled, waved his hand, and left with Hu Liena.

Yu Tianheng and the other two looked at Luo Ling's leaving back with ugly expressions on their faces. After a long while, they hurried away.
