Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 171 The Great Merciful Tree King
The people from the Impermanence Division had already quickly retreated from the underground cave when Ji Yingying released her soul ring.

They were well aware of the destructive power of Lord Yama's Netherfire on souls, so to avoid being accidentally injured, they immediately hid far away.

The Netherfire transformed the entire underground cave into a blue sea of ​​fire, accompanied by the wailing of vengeful spirits, making this underground space incredibly gloomy and terrifying, as if it had become a true abyss of hell.

The battle turmoil lasted only a dozen seconds before everything returned to calm. The eerie blue flames gradually dissipated, leaving only silence.

When the people from the Bureau of Impermanence cautiously entered the underground chamber again, only Ji Yingying remained standing quietly in the spacious chamber.

As for where the other evil spirit masters went, the answer is self-evident.

"Go, go and liberate your parents."

Ji Yingying looked at a girl with long, light pink hair standing at the door.

The girl looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with healthy tanned skin. While she wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, her features were delicate, and her overall appearance was above average.

"Yes, Lord Yama!" The girl's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Before she finished speaking, she rushed into the depths of the underground chamber. Her movements were very skillful, clearly indicating that she was very familiar with this underground chamber.

Not long after, the faint sound of a girl crying could be heard coming from the depths of the secret room.

Although the cry was not loud, it conveyed a complex mix of sadness and joy. Clearly, she had found the souls of her parents, who had been cruelly imprisoned by the Holy Spirit Cult for many years.

A few minutes later, the girl reappeared in front of Ji Yingying.

At this moment, her eyes were red and the tear tracks at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible, telling the story of the grief she had just experienced.

The girl approached Ji Yingying, bent her knees, and knelt down heavily with a thud.

Her voice was hoarse from excessive excitement and crying, and she said with deep gratitude, "Thank you, Lord Yama, for helping me fulfill my wish. I am willing to join the Bureau of Impermanence and serve you like a slave from now on, without uttering a single complaint!"

This girl, named Nana, has been trapped in the clutches of the Holy Spirit Cult since childhood.

In order to control her, the Holy Spirit Cult cruelly imprisoned the souls of her parents, using them to blackmail her into working for them.

Left with no other choice, Nana had to obey the Holy Spirit Cult's orders and painstakingly try to infiltrate the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, where she would act as an undercover agent to gather intelligence for the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, Nana never gave up the opportunity to find a way to liberate her parents' souls, but her own strength was limited, and she had no good opportunity in the face of the powerful Holy Spirit Cult.

The Impermanence Bureau found her and promised to help her fulfill her wish, on the condition that she lead the way to the secret stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Now, she has witnessed firsthand the collapse of the Holy Spirit Church branch that had enslaved her for many years under the attack of the Impermanence Department, and has personally liberated her parents' souls.

In this world, she has no more attachments.

Driven by her deep hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult and her gratitude towards the Impermanence Division and Ji Yingying, she decided to join the Impermanence Division to continue fighting the Holy Spirit Cult to the death, while wholeheartedly serving her benefactors.

The Holy Spirit Cult not only killed her parents but also imprisoned their souls for many years. This deep-seated hatred filled Nana with resentment towards the Holy Spirit Cult.

During her undercover work at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, she discovered that Mingde Hall and the Holy Spirit Cult were secretly colluding and working together for evil purposes.

This discovery instilled in her a deep-seated disgust and hatred for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and even the entire Sun Moon Empire.

“Alright, from now on, you will be a White Impermanence of the Impermanence Division.” Ji Yingying said, taking out a white Impermanence mask from her bosom and handing it to Nana.

The information about Nana was provided to her by Lu Jingming, so there was no need for an assessment process.

Nana has remarkable talent, and with time and careful nurturing, it's not impossible for her to become a Title Douluo.

Moreover, her martial spirit is very unique, making her very suitable to become an excellent assassin. The Wuchangsi's style of doing things and the nature of its missions are perfect for her.

Furthermore, Nana is now free of any ties and is extremely grateful to Ji Yingying for helping her achieve her wish, and is utterly loyal to her.

Given her personality, if Ji Yingying asked her to die right now, she probably would immediately pick up a knife and slit her own throat.

At the same time, Ji Yingying learned an important piece of information from Nana: this Holy Spirit Cult stronghold was originally personally overseen by the Holy Spirit Cult's Third Elder.

This Third Elder is a Level 9 Soul Master, titled Nether Thunder. However, he left the Sun Moon Empire yesterday with his men and headed to the Heavenly Soul Empire, with Dragon City as their destination.

When Lu Jingming received these messages from Ji Yingying, the information about the Third Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect flashed through his mind instantly.

This Third Elder had long been infatuated with Nan Shuishui, the leader of the Dragon Gate in Dragon City, and was her devoted admirer, unable to win her heart. This time, he went to great lengths, leading the Fourth Elder and most of his followers to the vicinity of Dragon City in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Clearly, his target was no one but Nan Shuishui.

Nan Shuishui, the leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, is a powerful Soul Douluo.

Her Crimson Dragon Martial Soul possesses powerful annihilation abilities. With the advantage of this Martial Soul, she can even exchange a few blows with ordinary Title Douluos, and her strength should not be underestimated.

However, she was about to face two evil soul masters at the title Douluo level: the Third Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Nether Thunder Douluo, and the Fourth Elder, Netherworld Douluo.

Such a powerful opponent is undoubtedly a huge threat to Nan Shuishui.

Unless she remains holed up in Dragon City and never comes out, once she leaves the city's protection, her chances of survival are slim.

In fact, given the extent of Ming Lei Douluo's infatuation with Nan Shuishui, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to abduct her.

However, Dragon City is guarded by the Heavenly Dragon Douluo of the Heavenly Dragon Gate. This Heavenly Dragon Douluo is a super Douluo with unfathomable strength, which makes the Nether Thunder Douluo dare not act rashly.

Furthermore, since the Holy Spirit Cult had been in a dormant development phase, the cult leader strictly restricted the actions of the elders, and Nether Thunder Douluo dared not disobey orders or make any rash moves.

But the situation has changed now; the Holy Spirit Cult has reached a cooperation agreement with the Sun and Moon Empire.

Although they are still in a period of dormancy, they no longer have as many concerns as before.

At least many powerful figures in the Sun Moon Empire were already aware of the Holy Spirit Cult's existence, which made the Holy Spirit Cult much more lenient in its restrictions on these titled Douluo-level elders, allowing them greater freedom of action.

It was because of this news that Lu Jingming opposed Xue Di's idea of ​​forcibly seizing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

He planned to lend a helping hand when the Earth Dragon Gate was in crisis, so that the Earth Dragon Gate would owe him a huge favor.

In this way, it will be much easier to demand the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal Ore from the Earth Dragon Gate later.

Moreover, Lu Jingming even considered the possibility of subduing the Earth Dragon Gate.

After all, as the situation develops, Dragon City will eventually be conquered by the Sun Moon Empire. If the Earth Dragon Gate does not want to perish with Dragon City, it will need to find a new place to stay.

Lu Jingming felt that Haiyuan City was quite suitable.

It was based on these considerations that Lu Jingming abandoned the simple and crude method of directly seizing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

In his view, although a bad reputation is also a kind of fame, it is ultimately not as long-lasting or beneficial as a good reputation.

Just like the Body Sect, although it is renowned on the continent, its style of doing things is arrogant and unreasonable. The first impression it gives people is that of a group of brutes who only know how to use force, which makes people instinctively feel repulsed.

Lu Jingming didn't want Haiyuan City to follow in the footsteps of the Body Sect and end up with a reputation that people disliked.

Moreover, adopting this roundabout strategy does not consume too much energy or time.

With the strength of those two Holy Spirit Cult elders, they could easily handle the situation if they brought along the powerful Snow Empress.

In this way, one can not only successfully obtain the treasures needed, but also gain the favor of the Earth Dragon Gate, and at the same time rid the people of a scourge, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"If I remember correctly, Sunset Forest is near Dragon City. Those immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire should be of some benefit to you, right, Buyer!"

Lu Jingming slightly raised his right hand, his gaze falling on the blood-red holy mark on the back of his hand, and said softly.

"I'm not sure, but according to what you said, absorbing the memories and power of those immortal herbs should be able to strengthen the power of the World Tree's sacred mark." A gentle and intellectual voice softly sounded.

Along with the sound, a stunningly beautiful figure dressed in white appeared behind Lu Jingming.

The woman had long hair that transitioned from white to green, with a delicate braid tied at the ends. Her ears were pointed like an elf's, and she exuded a gentle and intellectual aura.

"The essence of the World Tree is not a tree in the biological sense, but a combination of knowledge, memory, and wisdom, from which the power of life comes."

Lu Jingming turned slightly to look at the woman behind him and analyzed, "As the incarnation of the World Tree, if you absorb those immortal herbs, you should be able to obtain their unique abilities and at the same time enhance the power of the Holy Mark."

The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire each possess magical effects. They are all spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and they have all developed their own intelligence, belonging to the plant-type soul beasts.

Before this woman known as the Queen of a Thousand Trees, the power of these immortal herbs could undoubtedly become nourishment for her.
