Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 162 Prison Gold: Wu Ling, stop cultivating!

"interesting!"

Jiang Yi stepped forward, blocking Tang Yinmeng behind him, and looked at the old man opposite him with a cold smile.

"Where were you all just now? These are evil spirit masters, can't you tell?"

This is the city lord of Haiyue City, and also the father of the Black Tiger Elder from earlier.

These individuals have essentially turned the Holy Spirit Church branch in Haiyue City into their own family business.

Otherwise, a Title Douluo-level evil soul master would be an elder in the Holy Spirit Cult, and wouldn't be killed so easily.

The Ghost Emperor was using Shrek Academy to eliminate some disobedient followers, as a warning to others.

Of course, this was also a deliberate attempt to give Shrek some achievements to lull them into a false sense of security and lay the groundwork for their final actions.

"You ignorant brat, stop talking nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove they are evil spirit masters..."

The city lord of Haiyue City's face darkened, and he questioned the lord with righteous indignation, raising his hand to throw a hat at him.

They always handle things very cleanly, leaving no room for any wrongdoing.

"Evidence? Shrek Academy doesn't need evidence to get things done!"

Jiang Yi interrupted him impatiently, his tone full of disdain.

"I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you! You can't even spot the evil spirit master right outside your door, what a useless old codger!"

He raised his chin slightly, his face displaying undisguised arrogance, and then let out a cold laugh.

"We at Shrek Academy kill evil spirit masters! If you have any objections, you can come to Shrek City and argue with our sect leader!"

Jiang Yi stood tall and proud, his face full of arrogance, reminiscent of the Light and Dark Douluo.

If Shrek Academy says you're an evil soul master, then you are an evil soul master. If you're not convinced, come to Shrek City and have a go with our sect leader!
Do you even know what it means to be the best in the world?

"Senior sister! Let's go!"

After saying that, Jiang Yi took Tang Yinmeng's hand and turned to leave.

"Lord of the city! Should we stop them?"

The mech pilots all looked at the city lord in the center, but he just shook his head with a gloomy face and did not let anyone stop them.

The old city lord's gaze swept painfully over the stark white skeleton not far away—it was his son!
He was nearby just now, listening to the agonizing screams of his own flesh and blood being slowly sliced ​​to death, but he could only watch helplessly.

"Shrek... this is an irreconcilable feud!"

The old city lord gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, turning to look at the quiet man beside him.

"Li Mu, help me write a report. I want to impeach Shrek Academy to the Federal Parliament!"

He took a deep breath, then pointed to the street in the distance that had been reduced to ruins, and said in a deep voice.

"Shrek disciples are indiscriminately killing innocent people and wantonly destroying city facilities..."

This scene is not uncommon, at least not uncommon in the past two months...

……

Several days later, in Shrek City, above Shrek Academy.

Two dazzling streaks of light, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, fell straight into the inner courtyard, causing countless students who were cultivating or walking below to stop and look up.

"Look! Senior Brother Jiang Yi and Senior Sister are back!"

A sharp-eyed student from the Foreign Languages ​​Department shouted excitedly, his face beaming with admiration and longing.

"My God, it really is them! I heard they've wiped out another evil spirit master stronghold!"

"That's amazing! It hasn't been that long, and their reputation has already spread throughout the Federation!"

"Punishing evil and upholding the glory of Shrek Academy—this is the true model for us Soul Masters!"

For some time now, news about the two of them has been everywhere: killing evil spirit masters and eliminating hidden dangers in the city. They're absolutely awesome.

Even the Federation, which has always been somewhat at odds with Shrek Academy, has recently been praising Shrek Academy extensively, publicly commending their acts of punishing evil and promoting good on multiple occasions.

In an instant, Shrek Academy's legendary name once again became the focus of attention throughout the entire Federation.

Of course, there were some complaints, with some saying that their methods were too cruel, but most Shrek Academy students saw it as nothing more than the jealousy and slander of petty people.

In a training field of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, several boys and girls had just finished training and were sitting to the side resting.

"Sigh... comparing people..."

Xie Xie unscrewed a bottle of water, looked at the streak of light passing through the sky, and was too lazy to even complain.

Just six months ago, he and Jiang Yi were still bragging in Class Zero, but now that kid is already quite famous in the Federation.

Moreover, I heard that she even hooked up with the senior sister of the inner courtyard... I have to admit, I'm impressed!
Thinking of this, Xie Xie suddenly glanced at Gu Yue beside him, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.

"Hmm? Are you laughing?"

Gu Yue withdrew her gaze and turned to look coldly at Xie Xie.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Xie Xie felt a chill run down his spine and quickly waved his hand in denial.

Even if his martial soul evolves, he's still guaranteed to lose against a monster like Shang Gu Yue.

He doesn't want to get beaten up!

Gu Yue snorted coldly before letting him go, then her gaze became slightly unfocused as she fell into deep thought.

On the training field, there was a blonde figure still training hard. When she saw that streak of light, she couldn't help but stop her movements.

"My brother's back! Looks like I'll have to work even harder!"

Tang Wuling wiped the sweat from her forehead and encouraged herself.

She longed for the figure beside her brother to be her, and not someone else.

"Oh dear! Little Wuling, stop training! Go and rest! Why are you working so hard! I'm enough with your big sister here!"

Beside Tang Wuling, a stunningly beautiful blonde phantom quietly appeared.

She bent down and took the giant hammer from Tang Wuling's hand without saying a word, advising her with a pained tone.

"A balance between work and rest is the key to long-term success. Listen to your sister: one day of training, three days of rest. This is the perfect rhythm for us Golden Dragons!"

“Right…right?”

Tang Wuling blinked, looking at her special soul spirit with suspicion.

Why does this dragon girl sister keep telling me not to cultivate?

Moreover, we haven't been able to contact Lao Tang lately. However, Sister Long Nu should be a good person... She knows a lot of powerful soul skills.

"Yes! Yes!"

The golden-haired dragon girl nodded confidently, then stroked her chin and said...

"Dancing Spirit! I've recently comprehended a powerful Golden Dragon... ah, no! It's a Golden Dragon Soul Skill within your bloodline. Would you like to learn it?"

"If you don't cultivate for three days, I'll teach you..."

The dragon girl put her arm around Tang Wuling's shoulder and whispered seductively in her ear, just like a big bad wolf tempting a little white rabbit.

"Okay... I'll rest for a little while first."

……

Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, Sea God's Pavilion.

Yun Ming sat at the head of the table, looking down at the elders below, as well as Tang Yinmeng and Jiang Yi sitting at the end.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time. Especially Yinmeng and Jiang Yi, you two have made great contributions."

Yun Ming's voice rang out, his gaze falling on the last two people, a hint of approval on his face.

Jiang Yi and Tang Yinmeng were the most outstanding performers in Shrek Academy's counterattack against the Holy Spirit Cult.

They have been exceptionally promoted to reserve members of the Sea God Pavilion, winning unanimous approval from the entire inner court. "It's all thanks to the Pavilion Master's excellent leadership!"

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion bowed in unison.

"This operation will now come to a temporary end. Having suffered such a heavy blow, the Holy Spirit Cult is severely weakened and will likely not dare to show its face again for at least ten years!"

Yun Ming nodded slightly, silencing the crowd, thus bringing this operation to a close.

He made this decision after careful consideration.

The Holy Spirit Cult seems to have realized what's happening and has started to retreat into hiding. Now, even the Tang Clan can't find any useful information.

If they continue to fight the evil spirit masters to the death, Shrek Academy will not be able to keep up.

Moreover, some things are best left unsaid.

Once all the evil spirit masters are killed, who will remember Shrek Academy's good deeds? Besides, you can't kill all the evil spirit masters anyway.

As long as Soul Masters exist, the emergence of Evil Soul Masters is inevitable.

"The Pavilion Master is wise!"

All the elders nodded in agreement, but Tang Yinmeng raised her head to look at Yun Ming, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible stubbornness.

"Master, why? We must eradicate evil completely! If we don't kill them all, what happened to us before might just repeat itself!"

When Yun Ming heard Tang Yinmeng's question, he sighed inwardly.

This girl still hasn't let go, but that's only human nature.

"The federal government has received numerous impeachment notices from local cities against Shrek, accusing us of disregarding the law and endangering public safety... It is not advisable for us to take action now."

Yun Ming explained patiently.

Strangely enough, most of the evil spirit masters they captured this time were from the urban area.

When the two sides clash, even if Shrek Academy is careful with the force of their attacks, the evil spirit masters will not, and innocent people will inevitably be caught in the crossfire.

Ordinary people wouldn't know if you were hunting down evil spirit masters. After it happened many times, people started associating Shrek Academy with battle and death.

This is clearly detrimental to the image of Shrek Academy, and for this reason, it's time to take a break.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yinmeng fell silent, her slender fingers curling slightly. She didn't utter a word in rebuttal, but her tightly pursed red lips showed that she hadn't fully accepted it.

"Then this meeting of the Sea God Pavilion is adjourned! Yinmeng, Jiang Yi, you two stay behind!"

Seeing this, Yun Ming made an announcement, but then kept Jiang Yi and the other person behind.

"Yes, Pavilion Master!"

After the others dispersed, Jiang Yi and Tang Yinmeng stepped forward and bowed slightly to Yun Ming.

"Ok!"

Yun Ming's gaze first fell on Tang Yinmeng, and his tone softened considerably, carrying the concern of an elder.

“Junior sister, I know the pain in your heart, but killing is not the only way to get relief. You should stop and take a good rest for a while.”

He vaguely heard some rumors and learned that Tang Yinmeng had suddenly awakened some peculiar fetishes. If this continued, he worried that the girl would fall into a vortex of hatred from which she could not extricate herself.

"..."

Tang Yinmeng remained silent. She had never wanted to live in the first place, and now, all she wanted was to avenge her deceased senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Seeing her like this, Yun Ming sighed inwardly and had no choice but to turn his gaze to Jiang Yi and try to persuade her in a different way.

"Then you should also think about Jiang Yi! He's young, and his maturity and experience are not as good as yours. You don't want him to be affected, do you..."

"I have already asked Yali to prepare a life blessing from the Golden Ancient Tree for him, as compensation for Yue'er's recklessness before."

When Cai Yue'er was mentioned, Yun Ming couldn't help but sigh. There had been no news of Cai Yue'er since, so she had probably perished.

The two were practically childhood friends, so it was impossible for them not to feel a pang of sadness.

Upon hearing that it concerned Jiang Yi, Tang Yinmeng finally reacted.

She silently turned her head to look at her junior brother beside her, whose face still held a hint of immaturity, a struggle and tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"it is good!"

Tang Yinmeng finally nodded gently.

She could disregard falling into the abyss herself, but she couldn't drag her junior brother, who trusted her completely, down with her.

"That's good!"

Yun Ming smiled with satisfaction, and then he gave Jiang Yi some more instructions.

"Jiang Yi, you will stay in the academy for the next three days and not go out or wander around. Concentrate your mind and prepare to receive the blessing."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Jiang Yi bowed respectfully.

Afterwards, Yunming offered a few more words of encouragement to the two of them, then waved for them to leave.

……

Stepping out of the Sea God Pavilion, the evening glow spills over Sea God Island, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

"Senior sister, actually, if you still want to..."

Jiang Yi followed behind Tang Yinmeng and spoke softly, as if he wanted to say something more.

Tang Yinmeng suddenly stopped, turned around, and gently shook her head at him, interrupting him.

The dim sunset outlined her delicate profile, giving her an almost fragile beauty.

"No need! Junior Brother, you should rest for a while!"

As Tang Yinmeng spoke, she reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi's right hand, placing a token in his palm.

"If you have time later, you can come and visit your senior sister... This is your senior sister's identity token."

Unlike Shen Yi and the others, she lived on Poseidon Island. Although the accommodations there were simple, they were all protected by soul-guiding arrays.

"Okay, I understand, senior sister."

Jiang Yi gripped the token in his hand and nodded vigorously.

"Alright, Senior Sister is a bit tired too, so she'll head back now."

Tang Yinmeng smiled, raised her hand, gently ruffled Jiang Yi's hair, and then turned and left.

Watching his senior sister's departing figure, Jiang Yi toyed with the token in his hand, a sense of emotion rising in his heart.

Senior Sister! Senior Sister!

You're making me look less than human!

……

Afterwards, Jiang Yi did not leave Poseidon Island, but went to the library of Poseidon Pavilion.

In the past two months, his soul power has increased by one level, reaching level sixty-six.

He had three days of free time to study the relevant content of the Soul Core. If he didn't hurry, he would break through to the Soul Saint realm.

The library is not on the island, but inside the golden ancient tree.

Arriving at the foot of the golden tree, Jiang Yi took out the token given to him by Yun Ming, and a golden light cascaded down from the branches of the golden tree.

In the next instant, Jiang Yi's figure merged into the golden ancient tree.

Meanwhile, inside the golden ancient tree, a sleeping figure slowly opened its eyes.

"This aura..."

　It's a combined chapter now, totaling over 7,000 words. Subscribers know that releasing it in separate chapters caused its popularity to plummet; even yesterday's recommendation status dropped. So, I decided to combine it into a single chapter. I tried my best, brothers; I was suffering from writer's block, my hair was practically numb, but I still managed to squeeze out 7,000 words. I really did my best, and I need some votes to encourage you!
