...
Draped in a thin outer garment, she stood by the window, gazing in the direction of the fierce battle outside the city, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with worry and shock.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tang Yuehua abruptly turned her head. Seeing Luo Nan walk in safe and sound, the heart she had been holding in suspense finally dropped.
"Luo Nan! Where did you go just now?"
Tang Yuehua hurried to Luo Nan's side, tightly grabbing his arm, a trace of trembling in her voice.
"Outside the city... An extremely terrifying battle just broke out outside the city. That aura of lightning... Could it be that Yu Yuanzhen has come?!"
Looking at Tang Yuehua's nervous appearance, Luo Nan smiled slightly, reached out to pull her into his arms, and gently stroked her fine hair.
"Don't be afraid, it's fine now," Luo Nan said in a calm tone, "Yu Yuanzhen did indeed come."
"Then... Then you..." Tang Yuehua widened her eyes, looking Luo Nan up and down, fearing he might have sustained some hidden injury.
"Didn't I make a bet with you?" Luo Nan lowered his head and said softly into Tang Yuehua's ear.
"I said that even if he came, I could easily handle him. Now, he has already turned into a pile of ashes."
"What?!" Tang Yuehua was as if struck by lightning, dumbfounded all over.
A level 95 Super Douluo, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, just like that... died?!
Looking at Tang Yuehua's exquisitely shocked and adorable expression, the smile on the corners of Luo Nan's mouth grew even deeper.
"Alright, the imperial family can naturally worry about the matters outside; we should rest."
Luo Nan scooped Tang Yuehua up horizontally in his arms and walked toward the bed.
"Lord Pavilion Master, the night is long, we mustn't waste this wonderful time..."
"Ah..." Tang Yuehua let out a light gasp like a startled fawn, hastily extending her slender arms to press against Luo Nan's sturdy chest.
"Luo Nan, don't... Tonight really won't do. I feel like my bones are falling apart, I truly can't take it anymore. You brute of a bull, spare me..."
Luo Nan glanced at Tang Yuehua, who looked thoroughly worn out, and decided to spare her for once.
If they kept tossing and turning, it would probably break the saying that there are only tired-to-death oxen, never plowed-to-ruin fields.
The ox was too strong, and the field had been plowed to ruin...
"Fine, since the Lord Pavilion Master has begged for mercy, I'll let you off temporarily tonight."
"Sleep, get a good rest."
Tang Yuehua let out a sigh of relief, obediently pressing her cheek against Luo Nan's broad chest.
Listening to his powerful heartbeat, she quickly fell fast asleep.
...
Early the next morning, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue instantly detonated the entire city!
And with unbelievable speed, it spread wildly like a tsunami across the entire Douluo Continent!
The Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, level 95 Lightning Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, had fallen!
As soon as this news came out, the entire Heaven Dou City instantly boiled over.
In the streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns, everyone was frantically discussing this earth-shaking event that was enough to change the continent's landscape.
"Have you heard? Yu Yuanzhen is dead! He died in the wilderness thirty miles outside the city!"
"How is that possible?!"
"That's a level 95 Super Douluo, the owner of the number one attack system Beast Spirit in the world! Who could kill him?"
"It is absolutely true!"
"It is said that when the Royal Knights arrived, the scene only left behind a huge deep crater, scorched earth all over the ground, and Yu Yuanzhen's mutilated corpse remains!"
"It's too tragic, even his heart was shredded by someone!"
"Who on earth did this?"
"Who has the ability to off Yu Yuanzhen?!"
"Could it be the handiwork of Spirit Hall?"
As the news continued to ferment, some details about the battle scene were also dug up by interested parties.
Legend has it that when the fierce battle broke out outside the city last night, someone saw from afar a giant dragon phantom of massive size, radiating brilliant golden light and a sacred aura all over.
Light attribute, Dragon Spirit!
As soon as this critical piece of information came out, the upper echelons of the major forces of the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects cast suspicious gazes at the exact same person almost in the first instance: Luo Nan!
After all, Luo Nan's Spirit was a mutated Golden Sacred Dragon, and just yesterday daytime, he had severely injured Yu Yuanzhen's two sons, Xiaogang and Yu Xiaolie, right in front of the doors of the Moon Pavilion.
Furthermore, the matter of Luo Nan being a Disciple expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was simply no secret among the major forces and Sects!
The hatred between both sides could be described as irreconcilable.
Yu Yuanzhen running out of the city in the middle of the night was highly likely to seek revenge on Luo Nan.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi furrowed his brows tightly, looking at the confidential report in his hand, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were also sitting on both sides, their expressions equally unsightly.
"Fengzhi, do you think it could be done by that kid named Luo Nan?" Bone Douluo asked in a deep voice.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head, "The motivation indeed exists, but the strength doesn't match."
"According to the intelligence we have gathered, when Luo Nan last appeared in Heaven Dou City, although he displayed terrifying combat power, his Soul Power Rank at best was only a Spirit Saint, at most a quasi-Spirit Douluo."
"A Spirit Saint, no matter how Heaven-Defying their Spirit is, couldn't possibly kill a level 95 Super Douluo in single combat."
"The gap between Titled Douluo is like a natural chasm, let alone spanning two major Realms?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin also nodded in agreement, "Correct."
"I am very clear on Yu Yuanzhen's strength; even if I wanted to kill him, I would have to pay a huge price. That Luo Nan definitely couldn't do it."
"I guess it might be some secluded expert whom the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had offended in the past, who happened to possess a light-attribute Dragon Spirit, and seized this opportunity to strike in secret."
The same deduction also took place in the secret rooms of Spirit Hall and various major forces.
Although in terms of motivation, Luo Nan had the greatest suspicion.
But under rational analysis, everyone ruled out the possibility of Luo Nan soloing Yu Yuanzhen.
A Spirit Saint was simply incapable of bumping off a level 95 Super Douluo!
However, speculation from the outside world remained speculation; as a high-ranking official of the Heaven Dou Empire, Prince Xue Xing couldn't sit still anymore.
That very morning, Prince Xue Xing anxiously rushed over to the Moon Pavilion and went straight to find Luo Nan.
"Luo Nan, tell me the honest truth, was Yu Yuanzhen... did you do it?!"
Prince Xue Xing was genuinely a bit scared of Luo Nan now.
If Yu Yuanzhen really was killed by Luo Nan, then this young man's strength and methods were simply terrifying to the extreme!
Luo Nan put down his teacup, looked at Prince Xue Xing's nervous appearance, couldn't help chuckling lightly, and put on an extremely innocent expression on his face.
"Your Highness the Prince, you overestimate me."
Luo Nan spread his hands and said with a helpless expression.
