Chapter 137: Threats from the Soul Master World
Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng arrived in Tiandou City.
Yu Tianheng knew that Long Chen had long been working on a pill for Dugu Yan that could cure her green phosphorus snake venom. This meant that Long Chen's clinic was somewhat famous, which narrowed their search.
Following their plan, the two began visiting several well-known clinics in the city.
After some twists and turns, they arrived at Guang'an Hall.
As they entered Guang'an Hall, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Yu Tianheng asked Shopkeeper Wang about Long Chen's whereabouts.
Shopkeeper Wang immediately showed signs of alertness.
Though he was just an ordinary person, he lived in Tiandou City and had heard of Long Chen's triumphs in the Soul Master Competition, his defeat of the Wolf Bandits, and his destruction of the Star Luo Empire Soul Master Team.
"Sir, the person you seek is not here," Shopkeeper Wang said.
Yu Tianheng, sensing something was off, deduced that this must be the place.
"Shopkeeper, to be honest, I am Long Chen's teammate from Tiandou Royal Academy, and I need to ask him something. However, I don't know where he's gone, and I've searched everywhere with no success. I was hoping he might have come here."
Seeing that Yu Tianheng was polite, Shopkeeper Wang relaxed slightly.
"I haven't seen Xiao Chen in a long time. His behavior is unpredictable; it may be difficult to find him."
Yu Luomian casually glanced around and then said, "Shopkeeper, I noticed a special medicinal fragrance the moment we entered. It seems you have some rare medicinal materials here?"
Shopkeeper Wang frowned and became alert again.
"Mr. Soul Master, do you have knowledge of medicinal herbs?"
Yu Luomian shook his head, smiling. "No, not really. I've visited many clinics, but your medicine's fragrance is unlike any other."
"I see. To be honest, when Xiaochen was studying medicine here, he brought me many rare medicinal herbs, most of which he found in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian subtly smiled to himself and thought, 'The Star Dou Great Forest... It seems the immortal herb is indeed hidden there. Long Chen wouldn't give such a valuable item to an ordinary person. He must have only provided rare medicinal herbs.'
Afterward, Yu Luomian left with Yu Tianheng, already planning their next move.
"Second Grandfather, it seems the shopkeeper knows very little. The information he provided wasn't very helpful."
"Tianheng, when Long Chen was at the Royal Academy, he often ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest to search for rare medicinal materials. This supports our theory that his soul power has increased so rapidly due to the immortal herbs, which is most likely located in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"So, what's our next step?"
"Don't rush. We'll stay in Tiandou City for a while."
While Yu Luomian was out, Yu Tianheng visited Shrek Academy in Tiandou City and met with Yu Xiaogang and Qin Ming.
After a few polite greetings, Yu Tianheng detailed his experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned, and a look of disbelief flashed across his face.
"Long Chen... Has he really grown this much? Can he even devour Soul Douluo?"
Qin Ming was also stunned. He knew Long Chen's potential well but hadn't expected such a drastic change in such a short period.
It wasn't just his strength that had changed but also his mindset.
"When I was at the Royal Academy, I always found Long Chen hard to figure out. But now, I never imagined he would have such a terrifying devouring ability. He can even devour Soul Douluo-level soul masters. That's truly frightening."
Qin Ming was the second-fastest soul master in history to reach the Soul Emperor level on the continent, but compared to Long Chen's astonishing growth rate, he felt small.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and sighed, "Alas, Long Chen's progress is beyond everyone's expectations. But we must face the facts. He is no longer someone we can easily handle."
Yu Xiaogang's expression was unusually solemn.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but feel a growing sense of concern.
"Uncle, Second Grandpa's actions have angered Long Chen. If he continues to grow like this, he could become a huge threat to our Blue Lightning Tyrant family."
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment.
Although he had left the Blue Lightning Tyrant family, he still cared about its future.
"Tianheng, your concern is valid. Long Chen's growth is extraordinary, and his soul skills are strange and sinister. If he's not dealt with soon, he could not only threaten our family but the entire soul master world."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"Don't worry, I'll consult with Sect Master Ning first."
As one of the continent's most prestigious sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had considerable influence in the soul master world. Due to Ning Rongrong, Yu Xiaogang was close to Ning Fengzhi.
He knew Ning Fengzhi was a shrewd man.
If Long Chen continued to grow at this pace, it would disrupt the soul master world's balance.
Moreover, Ye Lingling's evolved Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had already begun to challenge the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower's position as the world's premier auxiliary weapon martial soul. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect wouldn't let this go unchallenged.
Yu Xiaogang was now worried about Yu Tianheng's safety.
He understood that Yu Luomian would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
If Yu Tianheng continued following Yu Luomian in search of Long Chen, it could prove dangerous.
"Tianheng, don't pursue Long Chen for the time being. It's too risky. Go back to the sect and focus on your training. If Xiaosan returns, I'll notify you."
"Uncle, I understand. I will train hard and wait for your news."
Yu Xiaogang patted Yu Tianheng's shoulder with pride in his eyes.
"Tianheng, don't focus too much on the immortal herbs. Even without it, I believe you will become the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant family."
"Yes, I understand."
After the last incident, Yu Tianheng didn't dare to venture into the Star Dou Great Forest again.
Tiandou Palace.
After listening to the report from the secret guard, Xue Qinghe was surprised.
"What did you say? Ye Tianming and his wife have left the mansion?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Didn't you notice when they left?"
"Your Highness, they were still in the mansion last night. They might have left late at night. We didn't notice it. Please forgive us."
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Did you see anyone suspicious entering or leaving the mansion?"
"Your Highness, we didn't notice anything unusual."
"Alright, you may leave. Continue to monitor and report any developments immediately."
"Yes."
After the secret guard left, Xue Qinghe pondered:
"Ye Tianming and his wife seem to be deliberately avoiding us. Could Long Chen have returned secretly? Perhaps something significant has occurred again."
