Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 116 Search
The old man led everyone to the man, bowed slightly and said, "Marshal, the young master and the people from Shrek Academy are here."

At this time, the tall man had turned around, and the whole picture could be seen. He looked to be no more than thirty years old, with regular features, deep eye sockets, and twin pupils in each of his deep blue eyes, as if containing the deep secrets of the universe. His face looked a little thin, but his whole body had a metallic texture, as if every inch of his skin contained powerful power. Especially his eyes, when he just swept over, it flashed like a giant blade, causing everyone in Shrek Academy to stop unconsciously. That sharp, cold gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and see through all lies and disguises. However, his eyes soon became gentle, as if a spring breeze was blowing on their faces, making people feel extremely comfortable and at ease. He smiled and nodded, greeting everyone in Shrek Academy. Although his smile was simple, it left a deep impression on people. It was as if the sun penetrated the dark clouds, making people feel warm and bright.

The first time they met, this man left a deep impression on everyone in Shrek.

Dai Yaoheng quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee in front of the man, and said respectfully, "Father."

There was no doubt that the tall man in front of him was the iron-blooded god of war, Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao, who was second only to the emperor in the Xingluo Empire. He was also the father of the brothers Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin, and also the father of Ji Lin's former roommate who was still studying in the Shrek Soul Guidance Department.

"Yeah." Dai Hao responded and nodded to signal Dai Yaoheng to stand up. After Dai Yaoheng stood up, he whispered a few words in Dai Hao's ear.

Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger strode over with a smile on his face, "Welcome Teacher Wang Yan and all the top students of Shrek Academy."

"I have met the Duke." Led by Wang Yan, the disciples from the inner courtyard were in front, and the disciples from the outer courtyard were behind. Everyone saluted the Duke of White Tiger at the same time.

In the entire continent, even if the Duke of White Tiger was not a marshal, he was still the top noble. They naturally could not be disrespectful.

Duke Baihu shook hands with Wang Yan and invited him, "Please come in, everyone. Let me show my hospitality as a host."

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. We are here to carry out a mission. As long as Your Majesty the Duke asks his subordinates to provide us with enough clues, that's it. You have many things to do, so I won't disturb you."

As expected, the White Tiger Duke was no longer polite, smiled and said: "In that case, Mr. Du, you are responsible for receiving all the distinguished guests.

Dai Hao gave an order to the old man who brought everyone here, then turned and left the tent. He was indeed busy.

Mr. Du first took everyone to another big tent to rest, and then went to collect the intelligence and information they needed.

Wang Yan clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention and said, "Everyone take a few hours' rest, then we will head to Mingdou Mountain Range. I believe the intelligence will arrive by then."

Everyone was indeed very tired, so without saying much, they sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

Ling Luochen originally wanted to try practicing with Ji Lin. The two of them possessed the skill of fusion of martial souls, and practicing together should improve the effect of practice. Moreover, her ice element martial soul should be able to evolve after practicing with Ji Lin's Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, and it is very likely to evolve into the Ultimate Ice Element Martial Soul.

But when she saw Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer practicing together, she frowned and finally found a place to sit down and practice alone.

Three hours of meditation swept away everyone's fatigue. It was already past noon, and after eating the lunch prepared by Mr. Du, Mr. Du handed over all the intelligence collected by the Central Corps to them.

Time was running out, and they had to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. After confirming the information and getting the map, everyone set off immediately. First, he used the flying soul guide to fly to the entrance to the mountain indicated by the intelligence under the guidance of the White Tiger Guards. Then he removed the flying soul guide and entered the Mingdou Mountains with the help of the map provided by the military.

Led by team leader Ma Xiaotao, they entered the mountains and began to look for traces of the Hand of Death. With Ma Xiaotao and other inner court disciples leading the way, they moved very fast, and when it got dark, they had already gone deep into the Mingdou Mountains.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wang Yan reminded Ma Xiaotao, "Let's take a break and eat something first."

Ma Xiaotao nodded, "Everyone rest where they are, and no fire is allowed to avoid disturbing the public. I'm afraid we will have to search all night tonight."

While everyone was resting, Wang Yan went alone to look for clues.

Wang Yan is also a Soul King, and he won’t leave too far, so everyone is not worried about his safety.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and in this forest, it feels like you can't even see your fingers. At this moment, Wang Yan came back.

"Everyone come here quickly, I found a clue." Wang Yan said with a happy face as soon as he came back.

Everyone in the inner courtyard was shocked. They found the clue so quickly. It seemed that they had underestimated Teacher Wang Yan.

Originally, Wang Yan's cultivation level was similar to theirs, so they didn't take Wang Yan seriously. But now it seems that this teacher Wang Yan is actually quite capable.

Everyone came to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan took out a piece of tree trunk from the storage soul guide and said, "This is the Wen Lan tree. Its heart has been taken away. The heart of the Wen Lan tree is not only helpful for soul masters who practice Yin Han martial souls, but also can enhance the internal organs' tolerance to Yin Han soul power. It is a rare good thing. The leader of the Hand of Death is an evil soul master, he will definitely not let go of such a good thing. So I concluded that the Hand of Death must be lurking around here."

Wang Yan’s analysis makes a lot of sense.

Everyone looked at Wang Yan with admiration. They didn't expect that in addition to his rich theoretical knowledge, he also had such rich field experience.

Ma Xiaotao subconsciously asked: "Teacher Wang, what should we do now? Should we sit back and wait?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "No, we have to take the initiative. Although it is late, the traces they left behind in the woods will allow us to find them quickly."

"Okay." Everyone agreed with Wang Yan's proposal. They didn't have much time and had to make a quick decision.

Soon Wang Yan began to search based on some traces left by the people of the Hand of Death, such as broken branches, shallow footprints on the ground, rags left on tree branches, and some bloodstains left on the sharp thorns.

Following these clues, they gradually walked out of the woods in front of them. For more than half an hour, they moved forward at a slow speed.

"Stop." Wang Yan suddenly raised his hand. The students following him immediately squatted down and quickly moved closer to him.
