Chapter 397 Returning to the Mainland, A Chance.
Encounter Along the Way As time passed, and with the sea breeze blowing rapidly, they traveled for nearly a year. In the distance, the black horizon finally appeared in Xuanmo and his group's sight.
At this moment, Xuanmo and Ryder both took a deep breath. After being away from the mainland for four years, they had finally returned!
The first thing Xuanmo did upon disembarking and setting foot on the mainland again was to take out a map of the Douluo Continent to confirm their current location.
Finding themselves in Haoyang City, they went to the shipyard to find Old Dimo and entrusted him with the maintenance of the Dragon Soar. Old Dimo readily accepted.
Soon, the group left Haoyang City.
However, as they passed through a city called "Panyun City" and planned to rest there for the night, a large convoy caught their attention.
"What's going on?" Ma Hongjun, who was on the street at that moment, held a chicken leg in his hand and kept craning his neck through the crowd, looking at the convoy in the distance with curiosity.
"Perhaps some important figure from the Star Luo Empire?"
Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Oscar, standing beside him, pinched his chin with his right hand, then stuffed a sausage into his mouth, muttering, "Speaking of important figures, I remember Boss Dai is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, right?"
"Huh! Your boss is a prince?" Pierre Cardin was taken aback upon hearing this, instinctively exclaiming.
Hearing Pierre Cardin's slightly surprised tone, Ma Hongjun, with a nonchalant expression, stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth and muttered dismissively, "Pshaw! What's so surprising about that? Aside from me and that scoundrel Oscar having no background, their backgrounds are all quite impressive. They're either sons of titled Douluo, daughters and sons-in-law of the three upper sect leaders, or princes and princesses of the empire. Even Xiao Wu..."
"Ahem." Just as Ma Hongjun was about to say something, Xuan Mo, who was about to gulp down some wine, suddenly interrupted him. Then Oscar walked up to him and put his arm around Ma Hongjun's shoulder, making Ma Hongjun instantly understand.
However, Pierre Cardin didn't pay attention to what Ma Hongjun said at this moment, but instead continued to look around.
At the same time, Oscar released Ma Hongjun and looked at the moving convoy. A sudden curiosity struck him, and he patted the shoulder of one of the Star Luo people next to him, asking in a low voice, "Do you know who's in this convoy?"
The Star Luo person turned around, looking at Oscar with an expression of utter disbelief. "You don't know? The city lord already informed us that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are here for an inspection."
"Huh? The Crown Prince and Crown Princess." The Star Luo person had already turned away, while Oscar, hearing this, paused, "Do you think it might be Boss Dai and Zhu Qing in this convoy?"
"We'll find out if we try." Ma Hongjun suddenly interjected, then his eyes lit up, and before anyone could stop him, he shouted, "Zhu Qing, Boss Dai!"
"You fatso!" Oscar's expression changed upon seeing this. Ma Hongjun's shout instantly attracted everyone's attention. Even the passersby immediately distanced themselves from Xuan Mo and the others.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's carriage.
"Phew...finally a breakthrough!" A beautiful, icy woman sitting cross-legged suddenly opened her eyes, two beams of light flashing within them.
At that moment, a blond man beside her approached, flattering her, saying, "Zhu Qing, you've finally broken through level sixty! If you go back and hunt for another soul ring, you'll become a Soul Emperor. That way, at the five-year agreement in a month, they'll definitely look at you with newfound respect."
Zhu Zhu Qing glanced calmly at Dai Mubai, a faint smile playing on her lips. "I wonder how Xiao Wu and Rong Rong are doing these past five years?"
"Hahaha, true. To be honest, I really miss Fatty and the others!"
However, as soon as he said this, he noticed Zhu Zhu Qing's expression change, her face turning cold. "Miss them? I bet you've been fooling around with him in those places."
Dai Mubai's face stiffened, and he stammered, "Zhu Qing, let me explain! Fatty went to those places! I didn't..."
"Pfft." Zhu Zhuqing chuckled, then her expression returned to its usual blankness. "Alright, I was just joking with you."
Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, then a gleam of excitement flashed in his heterochromatic eyes.
"When we meet, I'm definitely going to give them a good thrashing! But speaking of which, Old Mo should be a Soul Saint by now, right?"
Just as Dai Mubai was sighing with admiration, a chaotic chorus of cheers erupted outside, accompanied by the sounds of swords being drawn.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions immediately changed.
Dai Mubai roared, slamming his fist on the tea table in the carriage, "How dare you! You dare attack us!"
Just as he was about to rush out, Zhu Zhuqing, who remained calm, grabbed him and asked with some confusion, "Wait, did you just hear a familiar voice?"
"If you put it that way, I think I just heard Fatty's voice." But Dai Mubai's anger, which had just subsided, changed again. "But how could Fatty and the others be here?!"
With that, he insisted on going out. "I want to see who dared to attack me and then impersonate my brothers!"
Seeing Dai Mubai burst through the carriage door and rush out, Zhu Zhuqing, realizing she couldn't persuade him otherwise, quickly got up and followed.
Meanwhile, outside.
"Hey, hey, do you want to fight us?!"
Seeing the many soldiers drawing their swords, Ma Hongjun immediately shouted. Xuan Mo also narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and slowly exerted his aura on the soldiers.
To Xuan Mo's surprise, these soldiers, even under his oppressive aura, still managed to draw their swords and continue fighting, even though his power was only at forty percent.
"Interesting," Xuan Mo murmured, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Hearing Xuan Mo's mutterings, Oscar quickly moved closer, cupping his head in his hands. "Old Mo, stop being so amusing, hurry up and think of something!"
Xuan Mo, however, remained unconcerned. "Don't worry, I've already sensed Mu Bai's soul power fluctuations. There won't be any conflict."
He then glanced at Mu Bai with a hint of helplessness, saying, "Besides, you're not incapable of fighting. Aren't you afraid of losing face in front of Xian Yun'er?"
"Ahem, of course I'm not a coward."
Oscar's expression immediately turned serious, his change of expression as fast as flipping through a book. He also subconsciously glanced at Xian Yun'er.
Just then, Xuan Mo and the others noticed two figures, one white and one black, suddenly rushing towards them from a distance.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun was overjoyed and rushed forward to meet him, even adding soul power to his voice, "Boss Dai! Zhu Qing!"
However, upon hearing this, the white figure's speed increased instead of decreasing, and he threw a punch at Ma Hongjun.
