Chapter 219 Speculation on the Jade Crown

Chapter 219 Speculation on the Jade Crown

Although Liu Erlong is nominally an illegitimate daughter, it seems that Yu Luomian still cares about his daughter, as he actually came in person.

Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Liu Erlong.

Just then, Liu Erlong also turned her head and secretly looked at him.

Their eyes met.

Although Liu Erlong usually has a rather irritable and straightforward temper, she is actually quite shy. When she saw Ye Qifeng looking at her, she became a little embarrassed and immediately looked away.

After all, Liu Erlong was still angry with Ye Qifeng and hadn't figured out how to face him yet.

So there was a moment of awkwardness.

Ye Qifeng didn't seem to think anything of it, he just shook his head slightly and smiled.

"Strange, it seems that Yu Luomian is alone, without any attendants following him."

At this moment, the ghostly apparition transmitted its soul power again.

"Was he alone?"

Ye Qifeng gestured to inquire.

"Yes. Yu Luomian will arrive here in a few breaths. Your Highness, should I stop him and drive him away?"

The ghost responded with its spiritual power and then asked a question.

"No need, Elder Ghost, just keep an eye on him. See what he's up to first. As long as he doesn't make a move, you don't need to worry about him."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly and gestured to the ghost.

"clear."

The ghost responded.

…………

Having learned from the giant scaled beast that her daughter Liu Erlong had been rescued, Yu Luomian felt much relieved.

But I didn't completely relax.

He spent more than two hours traveling from the central area of ​​Sunset Forest back to the forest where Liu Erlong had slaughtered the soul beasts and fought the scaled giant beast.

Then they spent several more hours searching for Liu Erlong's whereabouts.

It wasn't until nearly noon that they finally found the cave at the foot of the small cliff.

This is the place where Ye Qifeng and Liu Erlong hid not long ago.

However, by the time Yu Luomian found the cave, Ye Qifeng and Liu Erlong had already left long ago, leaving only traces of their past in the cave.

After arriving at the cave.

Yu Luomian found many fragments of black leather clothing inside.

This is exactly the same material as the clothing fragments he found in the forest where Liu Erlong fought the scaly beast.

Yu Luomian immediately knew that those were her daughter Liu Erlong's clothes.

Judging from the cuts on the clothing fragments, it looked like they had been cut with scissors, which made Yu Luomian's heart skip a beat and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Especially when he saw a torn undergarment stained with blood lying on the ground beside him, his anxiety intensified, and a fierce rage rose in his eyes.

However, when he saw a pile of used gauze next to him, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

There were traces of medication on the gauze.

With her keen eye and extensive knowledge, Yu Luomian quickly recognized it as a very precious medicine, a rare ointment specifically used to stop bleeding and promote wound healing.

"Cutting up clothes was probably just to help Erlong treat his wounds, not some beastly act."

Yu Luomian guessed to herself, while at the same time letting out a slight sigh of relief.

"But he took off Erlong's undergarments, you bastard!"

The next moment, Yu Luomian couldn't help but grit her teeth, her fists, as big as sandbags, clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

"We must find Erlong as soon as possible; we can't pin our hopes on that bastard being a decent person."

Yu Luomian muttered to himself in a deep voice.

Immediately, a powerful spiritual force emanated from his body, and he began to carefully scan and explore the cave.

"They shouldn't have been gone for long, no more than half a day."

After a moment, from the remaining traces of life, Yu Luomian roughly deduced the time when the two had left.

"They've probably headed in the direction away from Sunset Forest. Erlong is injured, so they can't move fast. With my speed, if we catch up now, we should be able to catch up quickly."

With a firm resolve, Yu Luomian immediately summoned her martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then the martial soul possessed her.

Just as he was about to rush out, he suddenly stopped.

He glanced back at the cave floor, thought for a moment, and then condensed a ball of soul power in his palm, which was covered with terrifying lightning and crackling.

He then casually waved his hand.

boom!

A muffled thud.

A terrifying burst of lightning power instantly turned all the remaining fragments of clothing, torn gauze, and the blood-stained undergarment on the ground into dust, filling the cave with smoke and dust.

After destroying all the belongings left by his daughter Liu Erlong, Yu Luomian finally felt relieved and then sped out of the cave without looking back.

Following the trail, we went to investigate.

This time, Yu Luomian did not reveal her true form as she had when she first arrived. Instead, she transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and rampaged through the Sunset Forest.

After all, maintaining the state of the Martial Soul True Body consumes a lot of soul power.

He must conserve enough soul power to deal with the dangers that may arise next.

So it's just a speed boost achieved by having the martial spirit possess the body.

According to Yu Luomian's speculation.

Given that Liu Erlong was injured, the other person, carrying Liu Erlong, could not have left very quickly and certainly could not have gone very far.

As long as he follows the trail, with his own strength and speed, it will take him at most about an hour to catch up with the two.

however.

unexpected.

Not long after Yu Luomian left the cave, he completely lost track of the two of them.

Fortunately, he was still quite familiar with his daughter Liu Erlong's aura; a faint trace of her unique scent lingered in the air.

In addition, there was a faint, pleasant medicinal fragrance lingering in the air.

The scent and fragrance guided Yu Luomian's pursuit, preventing her from straying too far off course.

Even so, his pursuit was not easy, taking him nearly three hours.

and.

This is how we followed the trail.

What shocked Yu Luomian was that, apart from the aura and medicinal fragrance emanating from his daughter Liu Erlong, he could not detect even the slightest trace of the other person's soul power.

Yu Luomian never expected that the other person's ability to conceal their aura would be so powerful.

Could it be that the person who took away his daughter Liu Erlong was stronger than him?

Could that person be a Title Douluo?

Thinking of this, Yu Luomian couldn't help but feel a chill.

He quickly restrained his outward-radiating soul power and aura, becoming more cautious and no longer daring to be as domineering and forceful as before.

More than three hours later.

Yu Luomian looked slightly tired.

But as he gazed at the firelight ahead, a smile finally appeared on his face, which was covered with a short, gray-black beard.

Because he had already sensed that his daughter, Liu Erlong, was in the place where the firelight was shining ahead.

She is alive and safe.

Yu Luomian finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

Having confirmed that her daughter was not in danger, Yu Luomian slowed down her speed, concealed her figure, and stealthily approached.

When they got close to the spot where the firelight was shining, about a hundred meters away...

Yu Luomian suddenly trembled, his hair stood on end, goosebumps rose all over his body, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver violently.

At the same time, his danger perception, as a peak Soul Douluo, began to alarm wildly, indicating that he had entered a dangerous area.

"Is...is he a Title Douluo?!"

Yu Luomian was instantly filled with horror.

He's being watched.

He sensed, deep down, that at this very moment, his own aura was being manipulated by some unknown entity in the shadows.

It's locked now.

And in this world, only one type of person can lock onto and threaten him. That is—

Title Douluo!

In an instant, the jade crown was confirmed.

The one who has his eye on him must be a Title Douluo.

Yu Luomian's stealthy figure suddenly stopped, and she didn't dare to move an inch.

Then he quickly bowed respectfully towards the dark forest ahead and said in a low voice:

"Your Excellency, Title Douluo, I am Yu Luomian, the Vice Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I have come here solely for my daughter and have no intention of disturbing Your Excellency. Please forgive me."

After speaking, Yu Luomian remained in a bowing posture, waiting for the response from the hidden titled Douluo.

However, the Title Douluo hidden in the shadows seemed to have no intention of paying attention to him. He neither responded to his words nor withdrew his lock on his aura, but simply maintained his stare.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Yu Luomian couldn't help but raise his head and glance into the darkness.

"This Title Douluo doesn't seem to want to talk to me?"

"But he kept a close eye on my aura, like a kind of surveillance and warning."

So what he meant was...

"Is it true that as long as I don't do anything outrageous, he'll ignore me?"

Yu Luomian kept pondering this in her heart.

Having roughly understood the intentions of the titled Douluo in the shadows, Yu Luomian stood up straight, turned to look at the place where the firelight was shining, and hesitated for a moment.

"Erlong is just ahead; we'll see her soon."

Yu Luomian's expression shifted for a while before she finally made up her mind to explore further.

He faced the pitch-black forest and bowed respectfully once more.

Then they continued to stealthily move towards the source of the firelight.

Seeing that the titled Douluo in the shadows ignored her actions, Yu Luomian felt slightly relieved.

More than 20 meters away from the flames.

On the trunk of a giant tree, Yu Luomian's figure was revealed, her eyes lowered as she looked down.

below.

Beside the fire, there were two figures, a man and a woman.

The woman was dressed in a moon-white robe, which seemed to be slightly ill-fitting, so she wore a short purple cloak over her chest. At this moment, she was sitting quietly on a rock.

It was his daughter, Liu Erlong.

Seeing that her daughter was safe, Yu Luomian breathed a deep sigh of relief and was completely at ease.

He turned his head to look at another figure beside the campfire.

"It's just a young boy?"

Yu Luomian was somewhat taken aback.

He thought the person who would save his daughter would be a young or middle-aged Soul Master, but to his surprise, it was a boy who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.

"Speaking of which, there's something strange about this boy."

Yu Luomian subconsciously released her spiritual power to sense the soul power aura on the boy's body.

The result was nothing.

He could not sense any aura from the boy at all.

The next moment, Yu Luomian sensed that the titled aura that was locking onto his aura had suddenly become cold and sharp, and a murderous aura was overflowing.

Startled by the sudden murderous aura, Yu Luomian quickly withdrew her spiritual power and dared not investigate further.

He realized that it was his mental power probing the boy's actions that had angered the titled Douluo hiding in the shadows.

Ah, this.

Could it be that the titled Douluo in the shadows is this young boy's bodyguard?

Or rather, are they protectors of the Way?

hiss~~~

Using a titled Douluo as a protector?

Is it that extravagant?

So, who exactly is this young man?

Could he be a genius or successor cultivated by some powerful organization?

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, there are very few forces capable of producing Title Douluos to serve as protectors.

Theoretically speaking, all three sects possess such strength, but powerful individuals at the Title Douluo level are unlikely to leave their sect's territory easily; they are strategic deterrent forces and are not readily deployed.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to send a Title Douluo to act as a protector for a genius or successor; that would be a real waste.

However, there is one force that can do it easily.

That is, currently, the most powerful Soul Master force in the entire Douluo Continent—

Spirit Hall!

Could it be that this young man is actually a member of the Spirit Hall?

It's not impossible.

I remember a few years ago, the Spirit Hall once bestowed the title of Holy Son upon a member.

At the time, the Spirit Hall only announced the news of the appointment of the new Holy Son and the design of the Holy Son's token, without disclosing any specific identity information.

Therefore, so far, it seems that the other forces do not know the name, appearance, or age of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Could it be this young man in front of me?

As the vice sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomian's wisdom was not to be underestimated. In that instant, he connected many things.

If that's the case...

Yu Luomian's gaze suddenly became complicated.

Vigilance, scrutiny, curiosity, and perhaps a lingering, inexplicable expectation.

…………

Beside a bright campfire.

Ye Qifeng was intently turning the roasted rabbit over and over, occasionally glancing at the rabbit porridge on the stove next to him.

With his exceptional perception, Ye Qifeng naturally sensed the arrival of Yu Luomian.

Ye Qifeng knew that at this moment, Yu Luomian was on a giant tree more than 20 meters away, looking down at Liu Erlong and him.

Ye Qifeng clearly sensed the spiritual energy that had just swept over him, and he knew that this spiritual energy came from Yu Luomian.

However, Ye Qifeng ignored this and focused on preparing the roasted rabbit and rabbit porridge.

There's no need to worry about the Jade Crown being watched from the shadows.

Moreover, Yu Luomian only came for Liu Erlong, and after confirming her safety, she may not choose to show herself.

After all, at this point, Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong, father and daughter, had already broken up, and there was a lot of conflict and resentment between them.

Liu Erlong probably doesn't want to see Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian was well aware of this.

Therefore, they will not appear for the time being.

"Little Breeze."

At this moment, Liu Erlong's voice, barely audible, suddenly rang in Ye Qifeng's ears.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Qifeng looked up at Liu Erlong.

"Xiao Feng, it's me."

Liu Erlong's voice was somewhat hesitant; he started speaking but stopped shortly after.
