"Xuanming Sect?"
Ye Ling became somewhat interested after hearing this.
If he remembered correctly, the Xuanming Sect should be a hidden sect as famous as the Xu Family of the Star Dou Empire.
He also took control of the Douling Empire in the later period of the Peerless Tang Sect.
"How come Master Ye has also heard of Xuanming Sect?"
Lan Yuerou asked tentatively.
"Never heard of it."
Ye Ling shook his head, looking clueless.
"It seems that there is no such force in the upper three sects and the lower four sects?"
"The Xuanming Sect is a major force in our Far North. Although it is not one of the top three sects or the bottom four sects, its power should not be underestimated."
Lan Yuerou sighed.
"Moreover, the Xuanming Sect's inherited martial soul, the Xuanming Turtle, is also an extremely powerful beast martial soul, and its defensive power is rarely matched by martial souls."
"So what does Mrs. Lan mean?"
The corners of Ye Ling's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who had quite a bit of charm with a smile.
"Has this old man Kong beside Master Ye reached the level of a Titled Douluo?"
Lan Yuerou did not directly answer Ye Ling's question, but asked a question in return.
I can only say that women's intuition is still very accurate.
Although Kong Deming had never revealed his soul ring, the few times he used it were enough for Lan Yuerou to see something.
"So what?"
Kong Deming snorted, but there was no expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, please save our Shui family!"
Seeing this, Lan Yuerou did not hesitate and paid homage to Kong Deming directly at the city gate.
Even the little girl in her arms was pulled by Lan Yuerou to bow deeply to Kong Deming without knowing what was going on.
"stand up!"
Kong Deming's expression changed slightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, his powerful soul power lifted up Lan Yuerou and her daughter.
Just before the few people were about to be watched, he cast the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, and then disappeared from the spot with everyone.
In a dense forest not far from Tianshui City, Ye Ling and others appeared.
"Your Majesty, please lend a helping hand and save our Shui family!"
After witnessing Kong Deming's methods just now, Lan Yuerou was completely certain that the old man in front of her was a genuine Titled Douluo.
He was about to kneel down again.
"Mrs. Lan, we don't like moral kidnapping."
Seeing this, Ye Ling sneered.
"If you really want to kneel, then kneel and die here."
Lan Yuerou's body trembled.
The knee that wanted to bend was frozen in place and could not bend any further.
"We just met by chance, and I saved your life."
"It would be fine if you didn't want to repay us, but you actually want to involve us in the conflict between your Shui family and the Xuanming Sect."
Speaking of this, Ye Ling's tone was a little angry.
"You are trying to blackmail us morally. You are really calculating!"
With every word Ye Ling spoke, Lan Yuerou's face turned paler.
She never expected that a boy of Ye Ling's age could see through her thoughts so clearly.
"Let's go, Mr. Kong."
Ye Ling seemed to have lost his patience and was about to leave the place.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Ye."
Seeing that Ye Ling was really about to leave, Lan Yuerou quickly spoke up.
"I know that Master Ye came to the Far North to hunt suitable soul beasts."
"Although I can't help, my Shui family has a map of the Far North that has been passed down from generation to generation, marking most of the soul beast tribes in the Far North."
"There is also a cold marrow vein among them, which was discovered by my Shui family ancestor at a great cost."
Ye Ling paused slightly.
He naturally knew that cold marrow was an extremely precious treasure from heaven and earth.
It has the magical effect of nourishing mental strength and enhancing ice-attribute martial spirits.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm of the Peerless Tang Sect period was able to advance to a million-year-old soul beast only after it swallowed a large amount of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow.
"so what?"
Ye Ling stopped and turned to look at Lan Yuerou.
"If Master Ye and His Majesty are willing to help, our Shui family will offer this map to you."
Ye Ling pondered for a moment and looked at Kong Deming again.
"Tell me, what's going on."
Lan Yuerou looked delighted and said quickly:
"Over the past year, Xuanming Sect has been aggressively annexing the spirit masters of other small and medium-sized families in the main city near the Far North, and our Shui family is one of them."
"Especially in recent days, they have been putting great pressure on our Shui family."
Ye Ling was a little confused when he heard this.
According to the original novel of Douluo Dalu, the Shui family is an important supporter behind Tianshui College.
Moreover, Shui Bing'er of the Shui family is a soul master who possesses a top-grade martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, which is full of innate soul power.
In the entire Douluo Continent worldview, how many people have innate full soul power?
Apart from Tang San, Oscar, Feng Xiaotian and the above-standard Qian Renxue, there is only Shui Bing'er left.
Even Hu Liena, the most talented member of the Spirit Hall's so-called golden generation, only has an innate ninth-level soul power.
"I remember that Shui Bing'er from your Shui family has awakened the ultimate beast martial spirit, the Ice Phoenix, and it has innate full spirit power."
Ye Ling's gaze paused for a moment on the little girl in Lan Yuerou's arms before he continued.
"Although your Shui family doesn't have a Title Douluo, you should have Soul Douluo-level masters. How could you be forced into this state by the Xuanming Sect?"
"Besides, with your strength and status, do you have such a big say in the Shui family? Can you give me the treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Shui family?"
Although what Lan Yuerou said made sense, Ye Ling always felt that something was not quite right.
Lan Yuerou's expression changed slightly, and her eyes became a little evasive.
"Mrs. Lan, if you can't be honest with me, then let's just forget about it."
Ye Ling had very sharp eyesight and he could see the evasion in Lan Yuerou's eyes almost at a glance.
"To be honest, there is a Titled Douluo in the Xuanming Sect who has taken a fancy to my Bing'er and wants to take her as his disciple."
Seeing this, Lan Yuerou no longer concealed it.
"It is a great thing to be able to have a Titled Douluo as a teacher."
"But Bing'er seemed to be extremely resistant to him, so my husband, Bing'er's father, had no choice but to refuse him. He was beaten so badly that he was on the verge of death."
"And it can be considered as completely offending the Xuanming Sect."
"I see."
Ye Ling suddenly realized.
Although there are still some unreasonable aspects, the general logic makes sense.
If the Titled Douluo of Xuanming Sect is narrow-minded, then he may indeed do something hurtful after being rejected.
"Okay, I agree to this."
After Ye Ling pondered for a moment, he exchanged glances with Kong Deming before nodding and agreeing.
After all, neither Kong Deming nor Ye Ling knew anything about the Far North.
The possibility of encountering an Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion in the vast and extremely harsh environment of the Far North is extremely low.
If we had the help of the Shui family's map, things would probably be much smoother.
Moreover, cold marrow is also an extremely rare mineral and can also be used in high-level soul guides.
He also wanted to see what the Xuanming Sect looked like in this era.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye."
Lan Yuerou was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly bowed to Ye Ling to express her gratitude.
"No thanks, no thanks."
Ye Ling waved his hand.
"Take us to the Shui family."
