Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 219 Taking the Initiative
Yunming's decision abruptly transformed the tense atmosphere in the meeting room into a deeper, more somber silence.

For the past few years, he has had a vague unease, as if he were being watched by something dangerous.

With his cultivation level, it couldn't be a misperception.

Although the veracity of Gu Yue's information was still unknown, it gave him a direction.

But was it really because of the God-Slaying Cannonball? Yun Ming wasn't sure, so he decided it was best to verify it himself.

"Master, going to the Federal Supreme Council alone is too risky." Feng Wuyu frowned. "If the God-Slaying Cannon has truly been stolen, there must be problems within the Federation, and there might even be members of the Holy Spirit Cult infiltrating it. What if they become desperate?"

“It is precisely because the risks are high that I must go.” Yun Ming’s voice was steady. “Only my identity can force them to respond directly, and only I can remain undaunted when they tear off all pretenses.”

"It's not the first time; they can't do anything to me."

Yali gripped his hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry, but she simply nodded gently: "Be careful. If anything goes wrong, come back immediately."

“I understand.” Yun Ming nodded, then looked at Zhuo Shi. “Elder Long, you are fully responsible for the internal investigation of the academy and the secret investigation of those locations. Use the most covert methods. If you discover anything, do not act rashly, contact me immediately through the highest-level security line.”

“Okay,” Long Yeyue replied in a deep voice.

"Elder Feng, you can handle things with the Tang Sect."

“Leave it to me,” Feng Wuyu solemnly agreed.

One order after another was issued.

Finally, Yun Ming's gaze fell on Gu Yue, carrying a scrutinizing look and a hint of unspoken meaning: "Gu Yue, the information you provided is crucial. Until the truth is revealed, you must remain in the Sea God Pavilion. This is both for protection and necessary observation."

Gu Yue remained calm and bowed slightly: "Yes, Pavilion Master."

Yun Ming said no more, his figure fading away like wisps of smoke, disappearing from the Sea God Pavilion in the next moment as if he had never existed. He had long ago attempted to create his own divine position, already surpassing the perception of ordinary soul masters.

The elders exchanged glances, said nothing, and each transformed into streaks of light to disperse and begin carrying out their assigned tasks.

Only Yali and Gu Yue remained in the vast Poseidon Pavilion conference hall.

Yali loosened her grip, and a warm and vast holy light began to emanate from her body.

The radiance spread silently throughout Shrek City, centered on the Sea God Pavilion, like ripples on water.

She looked at Gu Yue and said gently, "Child, thank you for telling us this. Whether it's true or not, you will be given the reward you deserve afterward."

Gu Yue lowered her silver eyes slightly, neither avoiding nor admitting it, but simply said softly, "I just did what I thought I should do."

“Good girl.” Yali smiled slightly, her gaze turning to the window, as if she could see that figure rushing towards the distance at top speed. “Now, we wait and protect this place.”

Meanwhile, Su Qiu, after leaving the Spirit Pagoda, did not go directly to Shrek Academy.

He took Su Wuyan with him and prepared to go hunting.

Waiting idly is not his style. He lacked the strength before, but now he is going to launch a fierce attack on the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although he couldn't defeat any of the demigod Limit Douluos from the Holy Spirit Cult, he could still annoy the other trashy ones.

“Huh, just the two of us?” Su Wuyan, who was dedicated to fighting evil spirit masters, hesitated for once: “Actually, there’s no need to rush. How about we wait a few more years?”

He had been fantasizing about killing evil spirit masters with Su Qiu for a long time, but that was after Su Qiu became invincible.

"Isn't this a bit too fast? Why don't you practice some more?"

"Wait a few more years?" Su Qiu turned around, looking at her uncle with a "Are you kidding me?" expression. "Old Deng, it's uncertain whether Shrek City will still exist in a few years. Besides, we're just going to fight a guerrilla war, not raid their base. Why do we need so many preparations?"

Su Wuyan looked embarrassed. The problem was that the Holy Spirit Cult was clearly plotting a huge conspiracy, and to actively provoke them at this time was no different from stirring up a hornet's nest.

"You brat, do you even know what caution means?" Su Wuyan pleaded earnestly. He used to be the most reckless killer of evil spirit masters, but now he was hesitant and indecisive.

After all, Su Qiu showed him the future of annihilating evil soul masters.

It's best to play it safe for now and develop slowly.

"Tsk, if you're still not comfortable, shall we call some more people?"

Su Wuyan asked, "Who are you calling?"

"Leng Yaozhu, call her along too." Su Qiu pondered, "Her martial spirit would be quite useful for guerrilla warfare."

"Her?!" Su Wuyan exclaimed in surprise, "Are you kidding me? That woman wouldn't bother with any of this."

"That's easy."

Su Qiu said confidently, "Just say you have news about her sister, and that she's in the Holy Spirit Cult."

Su Wuyan: "?"

He looked at his nephew with a look of horror: "You can't say that carelessly, it could kill someone. That crazy woman will really fight you to the death."

Su Qiu grinned: "I'm not making this up. I dare say that the Holy Spirit Cult definitely has clues about her sister."

"So many years have passed, and her sister has disappeared without a trace. Besides being taken away or converted by an organization like the Holy Spirit Cult that hides in the shadows, where else could she have gone? What other force on the continent could have kept secret from the Spirit Pagoda's intelligence network for so long?"

Su Wuyan was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, she actually felt that it made some sense. Leng Yaozhu had been searching for her younger sister, Leng Yulai, for many years, searching almost every corner of the continent.

They even used the hidden power of the Spirit Pagoda, but still gained nothing.

If Leng Yulai is still alive and has gone into hiding, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Holy Spirit Cult is indeed one of the most likely places she could go.

Whether as a victim or in a worse situation.

"But this is just a guess." Su Wuyan was still somewhat hesitant.

“Guessing is enough.” Su Qiu interrupted him, her tone firm. “For a sister who has been searching for her family for decades, even a one in ten thousand chance of finding a clue is enough to drive her crazy.”

"Besides, we're not tricking her into going to her death; we're inviting her to verify this clue together and clean up the junkyard of evil spirit masters while we're at it. That makes perfect sense."

Su Wuyan's lips twitched as he looked at his nephew's "perfectly planned" expression.

This kid is incredibly cunning; he even dares to use a four-word battle armor master as a pawn.

But he had to admit that this might be the only way to persuade Leng Yaozhu, that icy woman.

"Alright then." Su Wuyan finally sighed, which was tantamount to acquiescing. "You go and tell her. I don't want to face her first wave of anger after she finds out about the clues."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Su Qiu patted his chest.

The atmosphere outside Leng Yaozhu's private training room was tense.

Na'er has already obediently gone to rest, and at this moment only Leng Yaozhu, who has just finished her short meditation, is here.

She frowned slightly as she watched Su Qiu return and Su Wuyan follow behind with a strange expression.
