The Legend of the Dragon King

Li Yunzhe could sense that there was more to it apparently. He could not help but ask, “Sect Master, are you related to Shrek Academy as well?”

Xie Xie said leisurely, “The person before you isn’t only the Tang Sect’s Sect Master. He’s also the current leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Sea God Pavilion’s Pavilion Master as well. He’s not only representing the Tang Sect, but Shrek Academy too. Although the academy has been destroyed, we believe that the Dou Spirit and the Star Luo empires still recognize our status.”

Upon hearing him, a chill ran down Li Yunzhe’s spine. He looked at Tang Wulin in a different light. The status of the Sea God Pavilion’s Pavilion Master was on par with the Tang Sect’s Douluo Hall’s Hall Master. The previous Pavilion Master, the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming was also regarded as the greatest person on the continent. Since he was able to become his successor and be recognized by the Tang Sect, this young man who looked to be in his twenties must be powerful indeed.

“Yunzhe, do you still remember me?” The person who was wearing a large cloak lifted her hood to reveal her face.

The face was remarkably beautiful but the hair was silvery-white. When she revealed her face, the members of the Tang Sect’s Dou Spirit Empire Branch were stunned.

She was truly beautiful. Her hair color was albeit bizarre.

When Li Yunzhe saw her, he quivered a little. However, his eyes were quickly filled with incredulity. “You’re Her Excellency, the Holy Spirit Douluo,” his voice was shaking.

“That’s right! It’s me.” A faint smile appeared on Yali’s face. “Xie Xie’s right, Wulin is Tang Sect’s Sect Master, and our Shrek’s Sea God Pavilion’s Pavilion Master. I can vouch for his identity.”

Li Yunzhe suddenly stood up excitedly from his seat. He walked up to the Holy Spirit Douluo, who sat in the middle of the car, and knelt down on one knee, “Your Excellency, Yunzhe is here to pay his respect.”

When the people saw this, they were startled, especially those from the Tang Sect. Li Yunzhe was a frequent guest of honor at the royal family’s table in the Dou Spirit Empire. He had knelt before the white-haired beauty which even the Dou Spirit Empire’s emperor could not make him do. As a Hyper Douluo, he represented the Tang Sect and held a high office. Even though the white-haired lady was a Title Douluo, he was not obligated to kneel.

Yali said with a slight awkwardness, “What’re you doing? Stand up, quick.”

However, Li Yunzhe did not stand up. Instead, he was sobbing. “It’s been thirty years since we last met. Your Excellency, you’ve saved Yunzhe’s life! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today. Please allow me to say this. You’ve not only saved me but my family as well. You’ve given us the grace of rebirth. We’ve kept a memorial tablet of you in our home. Your Excellency, your hair, what happened…”

Yali smiled bitterly. “It became like this after Yun Ming left. Get up, quick. Everyone’s watching, this is unbecoming,” as she said this, she waved her arm and a surge of gentle energy brought him up to his feet.

Li Yunzhe stood there in reverence. “Your Excellency, I didn’t know that you’re here as well. Yunzhe has committed an unforgivable sin!”

Yali smiled drily. “I can see that you’re proud as ever. Wulin’s leading this time, not me. Just follow what he says. He’s the successor who was selected by Yun Ming, the Heartless Douluo, the Amorous Douluo, and myself. We believe that he has the ability. Besides, he’s also the future for both Shrek and the Tang Sect. Please give him your full support.”

Yali was being quite stern. Beads of sweat appeared on Yunzhe’s forehead and his face paled. He hastily returned to Tang Wulin and gave him a salute reverently. “Sect Master…”

Tang Wulin smiled. He stopped him from bowing. “Hall Master Li, we’re all one family. Don’t you worry, you can rest assured that I’ll focus on the interests of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. I believe that you’ve worked hard in the Dou Spirit Empire as well. We’ll not dwell too much on niceties. Time reveals a man’s heart. I think it applies to both of us, don’t you think?”

Li Yunzhe straightened his back and looked deeply at Tang Wulin. “Don’t worry, Sect Master. I’ll arrange our accommodations immediately.”

This young man who was a mere Soul Saint gave him many surprises. Just how outstanding was he to be chosen by so many great experts? Li Yunzhe did not understand, but he remained obedient to the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali.

In his life, this Douluo had made a huge impact which made him into who he was now. Many years ago, when his family was in danger, the Holy Spirit Douluo who happened to be passing by saved his family in the nick of time. She also healed his child’s illness. He clearly remembered the chorus of hymns which accompanied the advent of the Holy Spirit Douluo. In his heart, she was the equivalent of a deity. Even though he was now a Hyper Douluo, his devotion toward her had not changed.

When he saw Yali’s white hair, he was greatly disturbed. Although Yali had brushed it off nonchalantly, he could imagine the immense pain the Holy Spirit Douluo must have endured.

At present, his only wish was to aid her as much as he could. If she wanted him to listen to Tang Wulin, then he would do just that. At the same time, he wanted to see for himself just how skilled his Sect Master was.

Tang Wulin and the others checked in to a vintage-looking hotel. Due to the Spirit Wave City being in the Spirit Pagoda’s territory, Li Yunzhe had to make special arrangements. They entered the hotel at different times and in small groups, so they would not attract attention. Li Yunzhe even put on a disguise. He was quite a well-known person in the Dou Spirit Empire. If anyone with ill intentions saw him at the hotel, the Spirit Pagoda would be sure to know.

“Sect Master, do you have any other requests?” Li Yunzhe asked respectfully after he escorted Tang Wulin to his room. His reverence was genuine, and his initial perfunctory responses were gone.

Tang Wulin asked Li Yunzhe, “Hall Master Li, are you familiar with the Spirit Wave City?”

Li Yunzhe replied, “Quite. Is there anything you need me to do?”

Tang Wulin said, “Can you wait for me for a while? The reason I came to the Spirit Wave City is to look for two persons. I’ll try to sense if they’re here. If they are, I may need your help to take me to the place.”

Soon after, Tang Wulin sat cross-legged on the sofa. He shut his eyes and focused his mind. He slowly spread his spiritual power outward with his body as the center.

He was familiar with his parents’ auras. His Spirit Domain covered a wide area. Without a doubt, using his spiritual power to search for his parents was ideal.

Li Yunzhe stood beside Tang Wulin. When he felt the spiritual shockwave released from Tang Wulin’s body, huge billowy waves immediately raged within him.

‘Is this the Spirit Domain’s spiritual power?’

As a Hyper Douluo, he naturally had a potent spiritual power cultivation base. He also knew that the higher the rank, the more important a soul master’s spiritual power cultivation base was.

Hence, he had been working hard to cultivate his spiritual power. He hoped that it would help him attain higher ranks in the future.

He was no stranger to the Spirit Domain’s spiritual power. It was a spiritual rank every Limit Douluo possessed. It was representative of an ultimate expert.

He never expected this seven-ringed cultivation base Sect Master to have such a terrifying level of spiritual rank. What shocked him even more was when Tang Wulin released his spiritual power. He had the faint feeling as if he had merged as one with the entire world. He seemed to be a part of the room, yet he seemed to be a component of the air. If he closed his eyes, even with his cultivation base, he could not sense that Tang Wulin was present.
