Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1077 I Am Not the Emperor

"They're not here to test our limits."

Tang San shook his head.

Even if the higher-ups of the Star Luo Empire were incredibly stupid, they wouldn't send a prince to test them.

"They came here as refugees."

Fleeing?

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then thought of the most likely possibility: "Dai Mubai has taken over?"

"Yes."

Tang San nodded. "The three of them wanted to see us, and they were very well-behaved. They've now been escorted to the outskirts of Fasno Province..."
Thanks to the road construction we've been doing for the past two years, and the invention of the Soul Guiding Vehicle by the blacksmiths brought by Lou Gao, transportation has become more convenient than ever before.

They traveled from the Crimson Star Plains to the outskirts of Fasno Province, and without a soul beast mount capable of traveling a thousand miles a day, they only needed four days to reach their destination using a soul-guided vehicle.

The advancement and development of soul guidance technology—

It is the future of Douluo Continent!

"Have we arrived outside the border of Fasno Province?"

"It's really fast."

After marveling at the rapid development of soul guidance technology, Zhou Qing estimated that he would be able to meet Davis, Qingzhu Zhu, and Zhu's mother the next day, so he ordered Ning Rongrong to receive them.

Why is she called Ning Rongrong instead of Qingzhu Zhu?

This brings us to the current issue of the division of the Red Cross Society.

The Red Cross Society now has three main departments.

The Red Cross's core departments, the workers' and peasants' deliberation departments, and other special departments.

The core department of the Red Association is mainly the Red Flower Office.

The Chihua office is primarily responsible for handling the daily affairs of the country.

In addition, there are various departments of the Chih-Hua Academy, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Civil Security, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Scientific Research, the Ministry of Astronomy, etc., which are responsible for the formulation and implementation of policies in their respective fields.

The Tang Sect, founded by Tang San, was among them, becoming the most unique department, comprised entirely of Soul Masters, responsible for testing new Soul Tools and special operations.

The Workers' and Peasants' Deliberative Departments, guided by the core departments of the Red Army Association, are located in cities large and small throughout the country.

Local workers' and peasants' deliberative bodies: such as council halls and offices, responsible for handling local daily affairs.

In addition to the departments of industry and agriculture, its constituent departments also include councils, education bureaus, civil security bureaus, and civil affairs bureaus, which are responsible for the formulation and implementation of local policies and can be adapted to local conditions and changed at any time.

Finally, there are the other special departments—

The agency responsible for taxation, customs, and other related matters is essentially responsible for supervision and management in certain special areas, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the core departments of the Red Cross.

Ning Rongrong is one of the members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Qingzhu Zhu belongs to the Tang Clan's special operations department, so it's impossible for her to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, she was ultimately born in the Star Luo Empire and was related to Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, so she still needed to understand Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu's mother.

therefore.

The next day, when the three were escorted to the interrogation room, Ning Rongrong received them first, then Zhou Qing went in to negotiate, and finally Qing Zhuzhu came over.

"You two, and Aunt Zhu too, it's been a long time."

At the table, Zhou Qing pulled out a chair, sat down, and sized up the three people wolfing down their food opposite him. Among them, Davis had five deep scratches on his cheeks, about five millimeters deep, and two scars on his wrists; his hand gripping the chopsticks trembled incessantly…
His once strong muscles have been significantly reduced, and his soul power level has reached—

Level 0.

It was obvious that Davis's tendons had been severed and his meridians were broken, so his soul power could no longer complete a full circulation within his body. Even if he could absorb the energy of heaven and earth on his own, he would not be able to refine it.

"How is Zhu Qing?"

Although Zhu Ma was not crippled, her eyes looked quite haggard. After swallowing the soup noodles in her bowl, she immediately asked about Qingzhu Zhu's condition.

"Well, I guess we can be considered self-reliant now." Zhou Qing reassured Zhu Ma and then asked Ning Rongrong, who was waiting nearby, to bring over three large bowls of noodles again.

Without saying a word, Ning Rongrong immediately went down to prepare.

"Have you not eaten anything along the way?" Zhou Qing asked.

"We ate, but because we were 'smuggled in,' they only gave us about six-tenths full." Zhu Zhuyun's tendons and meridians had been severed, and all her soul power had vanished. After finishing the noodles, she looked at Zhou Qing with some resentment, "Brother-in-law, was this really necessary?"

"Brother-in-law?"

Zhou Qing shook his head. "Are you misunderstanding something? My relationship with Qingzhu Zhu is not what you imagine. Even if it were, it is a fact that you smuggled yourself into the jurisdiction of the Red Society without permission."

"How could that be? You and she clearly have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, don't you feel anything at all?" Zhu Zhuyun didn't believe it.

"The love of beauty is inherent in all people."

Zhou Qing expressed that her only feeling was the above sentence: "Just like Miss Zhu Zhuyun, although you have been traveling all the way and lost your former beauty, you still have a unique charm even without makeup, which I appreciate."

As for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—"

Snapped!
Zhou Qing snapped his fingers, and Zhu Zhuyun and Davis's martial souls were forcibly extracted from their bodies.

Subsequently, his martial soul blood circulation system projected two projections, which merged with the two martial souls respectively, giving them true spirituality.

In that instant, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun sensed a renewed surge of soul power within their bodies, but it dissipated before they could even get excited.

Because the fusion of martial souls has stopped.

"That's how it is. As long as I want, I can fuse my martial soul with anyone, and it's 100% complete." Zhou Qing dispelled the projection of his own martial soul.

Otherwise, the broken meridians of these two people would have to be restored.

Could it be that I misunderstood something before?

Zhu Zhuyun looked utterly bewildered.

Davis was also somewhat bewildered, but as expected of someone who had been the First Prince, he quickly calmed down and asked, "Can you help us restore our strength, Your Majesty?"

"I am not the emperor. In the area under the jurisdiction of the Red Society, there is no emperor or nobles, only the people. However, there are still class divisions, such as farmers, workers, and officials. If you want to address me, just call me by my name, or you can call me Brother Zhou like the others in Holy Soul Village."

Zhou Qing corrected him with a smile.

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun looked at each other in dismay. They had thought that after the Red Society occupied most of Tiandou's land, Zhou Qing would declare himself king or emperor. They hadn't expected that the Red Society's original ideology would remain unchanged.

Such people are truly rare.

But perhaps only someone like that can continuously delve into the cultivation of soul power, reaching a level where even gods dare not oppose him. In fact, there is a rumor in the Star Luo Empire that the reason why Tang Chen, who had become a god, suddenly changed his usual behavior was that after becoming a god on the Golden Blue River, he found that he was far inferior to Zhou Qing and was afraid of alarming him and being killed by him, so he backed down.

At least for now, apart from Zhou Qing and others, no one is willing to believe that Tang Chen is doing this to abide by the rule that "gods must not interfere in human affairs".

Of course, Zhou Qing didn't completely trust Tang Chen either.

After all, in the original novel, the Sea God Tang San said that gods should not interfere with the human world, but didn't he still integrate Ah Yin into the Golden Ancient Tree and plant it in Shrek Academy for his own personal benefit?
