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

Chapter 220 Leng Yaozhu, you don't want to lose your sister, do you?

"Is there anything else?" Her voice carried a hint of annoyance at being disturbed.

Su Qiu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Lord Leng, you don't want to lose your sister, do you?"

Before the words were even finished, the temperature in the training room seemed to drop by tens of degrees.

Leng Yaozhu's aura suddenly froze, and her eyes, which always carried a coldness, instantly burst forth with a terrifying light.

The terrifying pressure of a level 98 Super Douluo spread uncontrollably, and the air itself hummed under the unbearable weight.

"What do you mean? Speak!" Leng Yaozhu's voice trembled almost imperceptibly, a reaction to the pain and expectations buried deep in her heart for decades being touched.

Su Qiu remained unfazed by pressure, her expression unchanged, her tone steady: "I don't have concrete evidence to prove where she is. But I'm 90% certain that the Holy Spirit Cult has clues about her whereabouts, and she herself may even be connected to the Holy Spirit Cult."

He quickly and clearly explained his analysis, emphasizing the Holy Spirit Cult's deep secrecy, its secretive practices, and its habit of recruiting special talents or martial spirits.

Leng Yaozhu listened in silence, her oppressive aura gradually receding, but her gaze grew increasingly sharp.

Su Qiu's analysis, every sentence of it, struck at the doubts and speculations that she had been searching for in vain for many years.

Yes, if Yu Lai is still alive and can evade her and the Spirit Pagoda's pursuit, where else could she be but the Holy Spirit Cult, a dark empire almost independent of the continent's order?
"What do you want to do?" Leng Yaozhu's voice returned to calm, but beneath that calm was a volcano about to erupt.

“It’s simple. Take the initiative and sweep away the Holy Spirit Cult’s open strongholds or any hidden locations we might find.” Su Qiu spread his hands. “On the one hand, weaken their strength and disrupt their plans to buy time and initiative for Shrek City.”

"On the other hand, and most importantly, during the sweep, look for any clues related to your sister. Fighting and chaos are often the best opportunities to force out secrets."

Su Wuyan added at the opportune moment: "Lord Leng, we know this is risky. But rather than passively waiting for the executioner's blade to fall at any time, it is better to actively cut off the hand that holds the blade."

"Moreover, with the three of us working together, we can handle most situations."

Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept back and forth between Su Qiu and Su Wuyan's faces, finally settling on Su Qiu's clear and firm eyes.

This young man possessed an extraordinary composure and insight; his words inexplicably made her willing to believe in that faint hope.

More importantly, the Holy Spirit Cult is indeed the most likely place to find the sister.

Decades of waiting and searching had long since exhausted her patience. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, even if it meant facing a den of dragons and tigers, she was determined to venture forth!
The next moment, Leng Yaozhu suddenly attacked, flames roaring as they quickly entangled Su Qiu in front of her.

She was testing the other party's current strength.

True fire enveloped Su Qiu's body, and scorching waves swept around, but golden light surged from Su Qiu's body, like an invisible barrier that steadily contained the flames.

Then he lightly flicked his finger, and the originally raging Heavenly Phoenix True Fire instantly calmed down, turning into tiny golden flames that swirled around his wrist.

"When do we depart?" Upon seeing this, Leng Yaozhu didn't waste any more words and asked directly.

Su Qiu smiled: "Anytime is fine, it's up to you."

Leng Yaozhu nodded, turned around and went back to the training room. A moment later, she came out, having changed into a dark purple outfit that was easy to move in.

Her long hair was neatly tied up, and she looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, exuding a chilling aura.

"Let's go."

Without alerting anyone, the three quietly left the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, blending into the twilight and speeding towards a desolate mountain range northwest of Tiandou City.

As night deepened, the starlight dimmed.

Shrek City, far away, remained brightly lit under the quiet shroud of Yali's holy power, seemingly calm but actually turbulent beneath the surface.

When Su Qiu first sensed that there were evil soul masters in Tiandou City again, he was a little surprised, since he had just dealt with them not long ago, and now they were back.

The desolate mountain range is full of jagged rocks, and in the night, the cold wind howls, carrying away the loose stones.

The three figures traversed the air, landing silently without disturbing even a blade of grass. "There's a stronghold three miles ahead, hidden in an abandoned mine. I sensed twenty-six auras there, two of which are close to the Title Douluo level."

A faint light appeared between Su Qiu's brows, and the space expanded, revealing the surrounding scenery clearly in his eyes. "There are restrictions at the entrance to the mine, and two sentries are hidden behind the rock wall."

Leng Yaozhu nodded, her body shimmering with golden-red true fire, yet she precisely concealed her aura: "I'll clean it up; you break the restriction."

"Su Wuyan, go up to the sky and be your moon, so that no fish can escape the net."

Su Wuyan: "?"

Seeing his reaction, Leng Yaozhu tilted her head and said coldly, "Isn't this what you usually like to do the most? Is there a problem?"

A chill ran down his spine, and Su Wuyan quickly shook his head: "No problem."

Then, Leng Yaozhu's figure blurred, transforming into a fiery red streak of light, so fast that only a blur remained, fully demonstrating the speed advantage of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul.

Two sentries hiding behind the cliff were on guard when they suddenly felt a heat all over their bodies. Before they could even cry out, they were instantly burned to ashes by real fire without making a sound.

Leng Yaozhu withdrew her attack and turned around, her expression unchanged: "Make your move."

Su Qiu stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and beams of light wrapped around and extended forward, condensing into a holy spear.

The tip of the gun gently touched the black-glowing barrier at the entrance of the mine.

The black light flickered violently and then disappeared.

It did not cause any commotion.

This made Leng Yaozhu take another look at Su Qiu, and her opinion of him rose even higher.

"Your gun"

"Is there a problem?" Su Qiu blinked.

After a moment of silence, Leng Yaozhu shook her head: "No, it's nothing."

The two then sneaked inside.

The mine was dark and damp, and the sound of water dripping from the rock walls could be clearly heard.

"There are three evil spirit masters guarding the passage ten meters to the left, the storage room is to the right, and the deepest part should be the meeting place."

"That's where the most people are; they're discussing it."

"Huh, are they using Soul-Transporting Cannons?"

Su Qiu flicked his fingers, and two golden threads shot out, precisely wrapping around the ankles of the patrolling evil spirit masters in front. With a gentle twist, the three of them groaned and collapsed, their mental and physical abilities instantly imprisoned.

Leng Yaozhu followed closely behind, her Heavenly Phoenix True Fire condensed at her fingertips. Whenever she encountered a scattered evil spirit master, she would lightly tap the fire and then withdraw it, annihilating the person without alerting the depths. Her movements were swift and decisive.

With her mental power, she naturally heard the discussions deep within.

Turning the corner, I pushed open the slightly ajar door to the storage room. Inside, there were many soul guide parts piled up, as well as several bottles containing dark red liquid, with a pungent smell of blood.

"It is the core component of the Soul Guidance Cannon, and it is available from level one to level nine."

"Tsk, and there are also imprisoned vengeful spirits."

Leng Yaozhu glanced at it, and then burst forth with true fire to send the vengeful spirit to its eternal rest.

"They're incredibly audacious! These beasts actually plan to slowly transport these soul-guided cannons into Heaven Dou City and detonate them!"
