Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Tu Shan Su Su, a tangled web of fate.

Chapter 99 The Merciful Sea God? Fellow villager? Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!

"Heh, how arrogant!"

Old Lu's laughter carried a hint of disdain. He abandoned his previous nonchalance and took a deep breath.

He really didn't want to be exposed so soon!

But fate had other plans. So, let's fight!

An imposing aura rose from Lao Lu, sweeping away his previous dejection, making him appear like a war god who could fight against heaven and earth.

"Weakness and ignorance are not the original sin; arrogance is!"

Green light flowed around Lao Lu's body.

With a single punch, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, it pierced through the void and suddenly appeared above the heads of Poseidon and Poseidon.

"Heh heh, you know nothing of the power of a god. Even if this is merely a wisp of my divine will, it's not something an ant like you can withstand. Ah! No! How could this be!"

The sea god's confident and arrogant expression vanished the moment his trident touched Lao Lu's fist.

Instead, there was disbelief, fear, resentment, and humiliation.

If it were my own body, I could kill the person in front of me with just one punch, no, just one glance.

He is not reconciled!

However, there's no going back!

Sea God's divine sense and Poseidon, who was so old that she was unrecognizable, were both struck by Old Roth's punch.

Turned to ashes.

The whole world fell silent.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, like a calm ocean, and everything seemed like a bubble.

"Is that Lin Youlu? Old Mr. Lin?"

Ning Fengzhi could not believe his eyes. A seemingly frail old butler was actually a peerless master.

He even wondered if he was dreaming.

"It's him!"

Chen Xin's gaze was also vacant, but he was certain he couldn't be mistaken!

"Feng Zhi, should we... still pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall?"

Bone Douluo looked embarrassed.

He was firmly opposed to the matter, but after Ning Fengzhi's analysis, he had no choice but to accept it.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family had hidden such deep secrets, possessing two peerless masters in a row!

Although the woman seemed to be in bad shape, Lin Youlu was clearly much stronger!

The situation has become complicated again.

"Let's wait and see. From their conversation just now, it's not hard to conclude that above Title Douluo, there are gods!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice was unusually serious, and his eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

He didn't know how powerful God was, but it was definitely far beyond his imagination.

Whether the Lin family, who are their enemies, can survive remains a mystery.

Moreover, there is a god on Poseidon Island.

What about the Spirit Hall, which worships the Angel God?

Not only Ning Fengzhi, but anyone who knew Lin Youlu was completely bewildered.

Is that old geezer a peerless master?

If someone had said that before, they would have spat in his face and kicked him a couple of times.

Now, having witnessed the battle firsthand, they have no choice but to accept this reality.

The servants they once despised and looked down upon

They have become someone they can no longer reach.

"Men, prepare the carriage! I wish to personally visit Elder Lin!"

On a snowy night, I heard that the one who wiped out the invaders was actually Lin Youlu, the Grand Tutor's right-hand man.

Hope was instantly rekindled.

In his later years, the old Grand Tutor was represented by him as a household servant, handling both internal and external affairs, and for a time he was incredibly influential.

Unexpectedly, he was actually a peerless master.

Out of consideration for the former Grand Tutor,

We might be able to win them over; even just having them as guest advisors would be a deterrent!

He had once tried to win Lin Youlu over, but Lin Youlu was too unruly and refused him outright.

We must win them over no matter what.

For the sake of the royal family, at any cost!

"Qinghe, you are in charge of handling all casualties and the aftermath in the city! Stabilize the situation as quickly as possible!"

He was so excited on the snowy night, but before leaving, he patiently gave instructions on the follow-up matters.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Qianrenxue" said woodenly.

died!

The three peerless Douluo who were on par with her grandfather, Poseidon Douluo, is dead!

Moreover, he died at the hands of that unassuming old man.

Damn it, I've been to the Lin residence so many times, how come I didn't notice?

Why didn't you put in more effort to win them over?

If Xue Ye were to actually recruit them into the Heavenly Dou Empire, the consequences would be unimaginable!

I hope Grandpa can get here as soon as possible!

Spirit world.

In the instant that wisp of divine thought was destroyed,

Poseidon, the god of the sea, noticed it.

With the help of the divine realm's central authority, they learned the details of the matter immediately.

Anger welled up inside him instantly.

How dare an ant provoke him like this? This is the first time in so many years, since he became a god.

Absolutely, we cannot let him live!

But that guy is incredibly strong; aside from gods, probably no one can rival him anymore.

The sea god was furious and wished he could personally descend to the mortal realm and skin the blasphemer alive.

As he paced back and forth, he pondered deeply and actually came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

This allows one to circumvent the rule that the divine realm cannot interfere with the mortal realm.

This will also get rid of that blasphemer.

That is to pass on the divine position, and the content of the divine test is to get rid of that old man.

Of course, that's after becoming a god.

Although the divine position has been passed down, whether one can ascend to the divine realm and successfully inherit it is another matter entirely.

Even in the realm of gods, when and how one inherits the title is another matter entirely.

Poseidon returned to the central mirror of the divine realm, the one that oversees all worlds.

Just as he was thinking about what kind of successor to choose.

Suddenly, they discovered that a chase scene was unfolding in the glass mirror.

The forest at midnight was dark and desolate.

A group of experts from the Spirit Hall are chasing a young boy.

The boy was covered in blood, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and sharp.

He was also carrying a man with a missing arm on his back.

It was Tang San and his son who had just escaped from the City of Slaughter.

Taking advantage of the darkness and the complex terrain of the forest, Tang San occasionally fired a stray arrow or threw a hidden weapon.

This left the Spirit Hall group in a sorry state.

But he himself was in no better shape; blood kept seeping from his wounds, but his eyes remained resolute.

"Tang San, your death is near!"

The voice, like the whisper of death, came from all directions, carrying an irresistible aura of terror.

The small forest seemed to have become a closed cage.

The experts from the Spirit Hall moved like hunting dogs.

They completely surrounded the forest, leaving no room for escape.

"Boom—" The night sky was torn apart by a huge fireball, the light as bright as day, revealing Tang San's figure in its entirety.

"There it is!"

With a roar, the experts from the Spirit Hall rushed towards Tang San.

Tang San wielded his Clear Sky Hammer,

Every swing was carried with a death wish.

But the enemy came in waves, one after another.

He fought with all his might, and after killing several enemies, he collapsed from exhaustion, lying in a pool of blood.

Tang Hao had already fallen into a coma and his fate was unknown, while Tang San himself also felt death approaching.

A pang of regret flashed through his heart, and he murmured softly, "Mu Bai, good luck, goodbye!"

Just when Tang San thought he was doomed,

A mysterious blue light instantly enveloped him.

His body gradually became transparent in the blue light, and finally disappeared into the forest.

"Hehe, this guy's good, he's the one!"

Poseidon nodded in satisfaction before the central hub of the divine realm.

Adding flowers to brocade is certainly nice,

But offering help in times of need only highlights his kindness.

Moreover, he still couldn't figure out the sword inside Tang San's body, and he hoped it would bring him a surprise.

The Asura God looked at the smug Poseidon in the mirror and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"You're smart enough to use your brain this time!"

However, thinking about that stinky rat, it's amazing how it has quietly grown so fat and strong.

Then she suddenly became unhappy.

If it weren't for important business to attend to, why would I need to go through all this trouble?

However, thinking of his grand ambitions, he held back.

"Hehe, this Golden Dragon King sword is truly a fine weapon!"

"Once it breaks free from its seal, I can secretly transfer these divine origins to Douluo Star, break through to a new divine realm, and then use this to reach the level of the Dragon God."

"Without my sharpest sword, the divine realm is nothing but withered bones in a river! Sooner or later, I will devour it and attain the position of the creator god!"

Shura was already imagining the shock that would ensue after he betrayed the God Realm.

Their helplessness when they became creator gods themselves.

However, he is now in a dilemma: how should he deal with Tang San as a pawn?

The original plan was to let him enter the realm of gods and wreak havoc everywhere.

Now, due to the two god-kings' inspection tour, some changes have occurred.

This makes his role less important.

"Let's stick to the original plan; it's better to have a backup plan!"

"Senior! You kept this from me for so long!"

Lin Jiuxuan grabbed Lao Lu's wrist, looking like she was crying and wailing.

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

Lao Lu calmly slapped away Lin Jiu's tearful hand.

Although he is not a germaphobe

But basic hygiene is still emphasized.

"Keep pretending! Go ahead and pretend!"

Lin Jiuxuan said disdainfully.

"You dare say it wasn't you who was just slaughtering everyone?"

"Ah, this really isn't me!" Old Lu touched the few remaining white hairs on his head and denied it innocently.

"Stop pretending. I also know your spirit rings are fake! And you're the president of the Secondhand Guild!"

Lin Jiuxuan winked and gave him a look that said, "I already saw right through you."

"Right? Fellow villager!"

"Old Lu, you're not being honest! Look, take a look!"

Seeing that Lao Lu was stubborn and refused to admit it, Lin Jiuxuan directly took out the letter he had dug out of the ancestral tomb.

"Oh, I'm really not the president of any secondhand guild! Nor am I a spy for the Spirit Hall!"

Old Lu flipped through the letters, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"I really am an orphan that the master picked up and raised as his own son, probably because the master valued me so much!"

Old Lu's voice carried a hint of vicissitude.

"And the reason I was able to reach this level of cultivation is indeed, as I said before, because I accidentally ate a 'Hundred-Year Grass,' which can burn lifespan and increase cultivation talent and speed!"

"I've been able to live until now entirely because my cultivation level has broken through, extending my lifespan and allowing me to survive until now."

A hint of determination and earnestness flashed in his eyes.

"To repay the master's kindness in raising me, I have been cautious and prudent, always staying at the Lin residence and never doing anything detrimental to it!"

"I did indeed secretly murder your grandfather, Lin Langtian, but it was because he was far too insane!"

"Not only did they ruin the Lin family's fortunes and openly oppose the royal family, but they even tried to assassinate the master, and they didn't even spare their own son!"

"This is utterly outrageous! We had no choice but to do this for the sake of this old servant of the Lin family!"

Old Lu's words were filled with heaviness and sorrow.

His eyes instantly reddened as he spoke.

Tears streamed down her face; it was truly heartbreaking to see and hear.

"Young master, if you want revenge, come at me!"

Old Lu wiped away his tears and said resolutely.

"Old Lu! I believe you, I believe you!" Lin Jiuxuan hugged Old Lu's shoulders and comforted him.

For some reason, he could feel Lao Lu's heartache; it was real, he could feel it.

Over the years, he has also been able to see that...

Lao Lu is absolutely loyal to the Lin family.

Although he had never met his mad grandfather, he could still learn about him through those letters and the rumors circulating in the streets.

One can imagine,

How desperate Lao Lu must have been at that time.

That's why I made this decision.

He truly didn't blame Lao Lu, and had no intention of seeking revenge whatsoever.

"Oh, right, young master, I also have a letter here, a letter left by the Marquis before he left."

After a while, Lao Lu calmed down and, as if remembering something, took out a slightly yellowed envelope from his pocket.

Lin Jiuxuan frowned and took the envelope with mixed feelings.

Although he didn't come to the point of fighting with his father, their relationship was absolutely, absolutely terrible.

Why did he have to commit domestic violence even against a small child?

Thinking back to those years, Lin Jiuxuan felt depressed and unable to calm down.

Fortunately, he died young, otherwise, he might have faced a dramatic shift in fortunes.

"The Marquis still cares about you, young master! It's just... there might be some misunderstanding!"

Old Lu shook his head, muttered a brief explanation, then lowered his head again, seemingly remembering something, and remained silent.

Lin Jiuxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the envelope. He wanted to see what the man wanted to say on his deathbed.

Is it an apology to myself?

Or is it still the same old contempt and disdain?

You must be feeling very conflicted right now!

I don't know if leaving this letter was the right or wrong thing to do, but in the end, I chose to leave it.

The words convey a sense of helplessness and hesitation, as if each word was the product of careful consideration.

【You are my son, yet you are not my son, you are a time traveler!】

These words were like a bolt of lightning, shattering the sky in Lin Jiuxuan's heart.

His consciousness became blurred at that moment.

My complex emotions were shattered in an instant.

Instead, there was deep horror.

Has my biggest secret been exposed like this?

Lin Jiuxuan's hands trembled slightly, and cold sweat poured down his back.

How is that possible? How could he possibly know? Could there be someone else who knows?

No, no, even if I doubt my own behavior, I would never have thought of the word "time traveler"!

Something is wrong!

Lin Jiuxuan suppressed the turmoil in her heart and continued reading.

[Are you shocked? I was shocked too when I first learned this secret, because I'm a time traveler too!]

At this moment, Lin Jiuxuan's heart almost stopped, and his mind was in complete chaos.

Your grandfather was, and so was your great-grandfather!

So, do you know why I treated you that way?

These words felt like a final judgment, leaving Lin Jiuxuan with an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

"Young Master?! Young Master, are you alright?"

Seeing Lin Jiuxuan's dazed eyes and legs go weak, causing her to fall straight to the ground, Lao Lu quickly caught her.

It's not his fault. Who would have thought that his whole family were time travelers?

Even novels wouldn't dare to write it like this!
