Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

Chapter 47 Bells and Hummingbirds

An elegant tone lingered in the air as the Dark Earl revealed a charming smile, quietly watching the pale and frightening Tang Ziran and Lang Yue.

Behind his parents, Tang Wulin frantically called out to Brother Huo in his heart.

The enemy before him was an evil soul master of unfathomable strength, and Tang Wulin was powerless to resist him, so he could only place all his hopes on Brother Huo.

"Little Wu Lin, don't panic." Huo Yuhao's voice was calm and steady, like a tranquil melody soothing Tang Wu Lin's anxiety.

"Donghai City is now full of hidden talents, not as simple as you think. A mere bat-like evil spirit master can't cause any trouble. With them around, I'll just cover for them and avoid taking action if possible, so as not to expose my presence."

"If anything happens, don't worry, I will take care of it."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Donghai City? Does this make sense?

While Tang Wulin felt relieved, various questions arose in his mind.

Donghai City is indeed a major city in the Federation with a very developed economy, but its Soul Master strength is weak. The strongest official is only a Soul Saint, and the only two Title Douluo are the heads of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda's branches in Donghai City.

If we absolutely have to say it's a story of hidden talents...

Tang Wulin thought of his two classmates: Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena.

Meng Xinghe is a local orphan from Donghai City with no family background. However, Gu Yuena's identity is extremely mysterious. She knows the legend of the Dragon God, and the purity of her Silver Dragon bloodline is comparable to his, who possesses the Golden Dragon King's core.

When Brother Huo mentioned "hidden dragons and crouching tigers," he was probably referring to the bodyguards, or protectors, that Gu Yuena's family had arranged for her.

But what is the relationship between Gu Yuena's protector and him? Shouldn't Gu Yuena's protector be protecting Gu Yuena herself?

Could it be that because of the deal involving the Golden Dragon King's divine core, she was afraid something would happen to me, so she secretly sent someone to protect me? Now that she has discovered that something happened to me, the person secretly protecting me has gone to inform that mysterious guardian.

Tang Wulin thought about it more and more and it seemed reasonable. His heart, which had been extremely tense just now, had now completely calmed down.

He figured it out. Anyway, with Brother Huo backing them up, nothing could happen to them. Now he was just hoping that Gu Yuena's protector would be able to help them get away without exposing Brother Huo.

Ding ding ding~

Ding ding ding~

A crisp bell rang out, and for a fleeting moment, the Dark Earl's blood-red pupils seemed to lose focus. A swift, afterimage-like figure swept away Tang Wulin and his companions like a gentle breeze, bringing them to a safe area.

The spatial barrier shattered, and the once crowded station was now eerily empty, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Nanali! Long Yuheng! How dare you two ruin my plans!"

The Dark Earl's outburst echoed in the air, and Tang Wulin and the others finally saw the figure before them.

A girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old was holding a bell in her hand, and standing next to her was a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie felt that he was somewhat familiar with him.

"Count, you jest," Nunnally laughed with a silvery laugh. "You have your task, and I have mine. We each have our duties. How can you say I'm ruining your plans?"

"However, I couldn't have rescued them from you by myself. But I just happened to run into Long Yuheng on the way. You can only blame your bad luck."

Long Yuheng nodded in agreement.

The Dark Earl was indeed unlucky. He had only come to Donghai City to visit his daughter, but on the way he encountered the FBI's second-in-command, Phantom Bell Douluo Nanali, who was on a mission.

Upon hearing that the mission was related to the Evil Spirit Cult and involved the Dark Earl, one of the Four Dark Kings, Long Yuheng, as the head of the Spirit Pagoda's Inspection Department, naturally joined the mission without hesitation.

After all, it is everyone's responsibility to eradicate evil cults.

When he and Nunnally discovered that the Dark Count was in a crowded public place like a train station, they had no choice but to lie in wait and wait for an opportunity to strike in order to avoid harming innocent people.

The opportunity soon presented itself. While the Dark Earl created a spatial barrier to isolate them from the outside world, Nanali, a control-type battle spirit master, cast an illusion, and Long Yuheng, an agility-type battle spirit master, was responsible for evacuating the crowd. In a very short time, the crowd at the station was completely evacuated.

Under normal circumstances, the Dark Earl would naturally be able to discover the problem with his strength, but if he is deliberately scheming against someone who is not paying attention, then the situation is different.

"Hmph, I admit defeat this time. See you later!"

The Dark Earl ran away after uttering his threats, his movements clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.

He's a smart villain; he knows when to run and would never foolishly stay put and fight to the death.

Nanali, Long Yuheng, and he are all experts of the same level, all titled Douluo at level 98, and their strength is comparable to his.

In particular, Nanali's martial soul is the Illusion Bell, which, like his Dark Gold Nine-Headed Bat martial soul, uses sound waves as a means of control.

With similar abilities and mutual restraint, the competition comes down to raw strength.

In a one-on-one duel, the Dark Earl was confident that he was no less than Nanali, but with the agility-type battle spirit master Long Yuheng by his side, he was no match for him.

To fight to the death despite knowing one is no match is, in the Dark Earl's eyes, an absolutely foolish act. A perfect person like him would never make such a stupid mistake.

"Nanali, you protect the adults and children, I'll go after them!"

Before Long Yuheng could finish speaking, he vanished in a blur.

Evil spirit masters have unpredictable methods, especially those of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings. Their methods are so bizarre that they are impossible to defend against. Therefore, one of them, him or Nanali, needs to stay behind to ensure the safety of the adults and children.

Nanali is a control-type battle spirit master, while he is an agility-type battle spirit master. In terms of pursuit ability, he is naturally stronger due to his faster speed, and only he can keep up with the Dark Earl's ghostly movements.

"Hello, sir and madam, and two children, I am Nanali, Deputy Director of the FBI. You can search for me on the official website; my name and photo are there."

Nanali showed her identification and said in a friendly and approachable manner:

"I will take care of your safety from now on, so please come with me without worry."

Out of caution, Tang Ziran took out her phone and searched online. The results showed that the FBI did indeed have a deputy director named Nanali, and the photo on the official website was exactly the same as the girl in front of her.

"Thank you for your help, Chief."

Tang Wulin and the others walked out of the train station and found that the outside had been sealed off by the Donghai City Mech Brigade. The leader was a bald middle-aged man, and standing next to him was a familiar man—Guanglong, the captain of the Donghai Security Team.
