Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 144 Shrek gathers two major scourges; how can his cause not fail? Holy Spirit Cult Intelligence

"Qian Gu Dong Feng, how has Yue'er fared these past three years?"

Upon entering the Spirit Pagoda, Yun Ming's face was ashen, revealing a hint of worry.

"It's just sealing her soul power to keep her from causing trouble, what else can it do?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng retorted sarcastically, "I must remind Your Majesty Qingtian to keep a close eye on things when you get back, lest you cause any more trouble."

"No need for you to trouble yourself," Yun Ming said calmly, though his eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

The two arrived at the private level of the Spirit Pagoda. Qian Gu Dong Feng waved and opened the door, "Please."

Yun Ming nodded and went inside; he found Cai Yue'er sitting on a futon cultivating, with no unusual activity except for the absence of any fluctuations in her soul power.

"Master, you—you've come to see me?"

Cai Yue'er woke up, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

"Sister Yue and I have come to take you back; this was Sister Yue's suggestion," Yun Ming said.

"Oh, oh—" Cai Yue'er was in a daze for a moment, then revealed an extremely nostalgic expression.

"Finally, I can go back to the academy? That's wonderful! I've been longing to return for so long. Master, you have no idea what I've been through here."

Qian Gu Dong Feng outside the door couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up coldly: "Don't make false accusations, Mr. Cai. We're just restricting your movements."

While Qian Gu Dongfeng was overjoyed that Yun Ming had captured an outer court dean while still alive, he hadn't gone so far as to harm Cai Yue'er.

He also didn't let the Holy Spirit Cult get involved, because he couldn't afford to leave any loopholes; anyway, they would all be blown up later.

Enraged, Cai Yue'er overturned the verdict, pointing her finger at Qian Gu Dongfeng and hurling insults: "Your Spirit Pagoda has been relentlessly mocking us these past few years, using me time and again to humiliate Shrek Academy's image! Utterly shameless!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng sneered: "That's the truth! The truth that Shrek Academy and you, Cai Yue'er, are arrogant and domineering! We're just exposing what you've done!"

"Sixty years ago, you caused a bloodbath in the world of Soul Masters. Do I need to remind you what you did back then?"

"You!" Cai Yue'er was furious. Her soul power, which had just been unsealed by Yun Ming, surged violently. A crescent moon appeared faintly behind her head, exuding a chilling aura and causing the temperature to drop sharply.

Qian Gu Dongfeng glanced at her in surprise, then looked at Yun Ming.

"Can you control your subordinates? Or do you want to start a war with my Spirit Pagoda?"

A Super Douluo dares to reveal his Martial Soul to me? Does he think he can act with impunity just because Yun Ming is backing him up? Or does he think that I, the Tower Master, can't just take him down with one blow?

"You've kept Yue'er locked up for three years, so it's normal for you to have some resentment."

Yun Ming spoke coldly, subtly pressing Cai Yue'er down, and said:

"I'm taking him with me. The Spirit Pagoda had better think carefully about its place in the future, lest it be too late for regrets! After all, Spirit Ice Douluo also came from Shrek Academy."

"No need for payment, please make yourself at home."

The cold east wind, like an ancient whisper, issued an order to leave, its eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

Long Yeyue insulted my father, the Tang Clan bombed my branch, and now they're telling me to think clearly about my position and avoid internal strife?

If I weren't out of my mind, I would have blown you all up! You're not being sentimental; you're just scared of the Federation's suppression!

Today you've come to my door and humiliated me; I'll remember this debt. When you fall from grace, I'll definitely offer incense at your grave.

Yun Ming frowned, said nothing more, and disappeared with Cai Yue'er as if they had never been there.

The two met up with Long Yeyue. Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er glanced at the Spirit Transmission Academy next to the Spirit Transmission Tower with hatred before leaving under the cold gazes of the experts in the Spirit Transmission Tower.

"Tower Master, they are underestimating us far too much!" Witch Douluo Li Mengjie spoke indignantly, expressing the sentiments of everyone present.

"Sooner or later they'll pay for this; Shrek Academy has a strong foundation after all."

Qian Gu Dongfeng spoke coldly, but he was also somewhat grateful to Yun Ming, otherwise the experts of the Spirit Pagoda would not be so steadfast in their support of the Qian Gu family.

"Let's continue planning our Spirit Transmission Academy. For its first enrollment, we need to make it a spectacular event."

+

"Hmph, with both Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er, two major troublemakers, how can Shrek Academy not be defeated? They will help us surpass Shrek Academy."

At the War God Temple headquarters in Lingdou City, a gentle female voice and a warm male voice rang out one after the other.

"I'll take care of things at the academy, you can rest easy."

"I'll let you handle things, but I only fought a tough battle, why do you seem unable to get up?"

"Doesn't your burn life require rest? You're such a show-off." Yu Xin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Feng Zaixing.

"Sacrificing divine skills is the essence of the angelic lineage. The atmosphere is already there, it wouldn't be right for me not to risk my life."

"snort--"

Yu Xin turned her head and gave a soft hum, a hint of displeasure appearing on her beautiful and refined face.

Feng Zaixing quickly tried to smooth things over: "I was very surprised and delighted that you came to see me after you came out of seclusion; however, I'm still in my medicinal bath, which is a bit inconvenient, sister, aren't you—"

"I need to cultivate myself; you are too peaceful."

Yu Xin took out the Investiture of the Gods, unfolded it, and milky-white light spots instantly filled the medicine pool and the air in the room. Her red lips curved into a beautiful smile:

"This divine artifact can nourish the spirit; it won't be an eyesore for you, Lu Seventh, will it?"

"I couldn't ask for more." Feng Zaixing said sincerely. Yu Xin was always rich and generous, and often a little arrogant, which was a rare kind of cuteness.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I don't deserve the title of the seventy-second master on the mainland. The Spirit Pagoda is just a gimmick."

"There are countless masters in the world, and the strong are far more than just the hundred people on the Wind and Cloud Ranking."

There are many people who are better than you, but very few who have achieved more than you.

Yu Xin put down the Investiture of the Gods and took out a printed copy of "The Mainland's Heroic Figures List." She turned to the page about Feng Zaixing and began to read it with great interest.

"The 72nd on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, Feng Zaixing, the genius of all time, is the youngest two-word battle armor master in the history of the continent and the youngest person ever to be listed on this list. He has been a legend since childhood. Three years ago, he defeated Lan Muzi, the senior brother of Shrek Academy, with the help of the masses in Tianhai City. Two years ago, he won the title of the number one academy in the world. One year ago, he took the lead in the battle to defend Tiandou City."

He recently slew dozens of evil spirit masters and captured a three-word battle armor master, achieving godhood in a single battle; considering his potential and combat strength, the seventy-second rank is well-deserved—yes, that's what I think too.

The person in charge of the Spirit Pagoda rankings spoke highly of Feng Zaixing, lavishing praise upon him.

Feng Zaixing felt a headache coming on and covered his face, saying, "Uncle-Master Han is in charge of the list. He won't include himself, but instead puts me in the spotlight. Should we ask him to include you too?"

"Forget it, I don't have such impressive achievements that it would be eye-catching to write them down. It would be inappropriate for you not to write them down." Yu Xin smiled radiantly, her dimples revealing a hint of schadenfreude.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing at me. Tell me about that guy, has he confessed yet?"

Feng Zaixing asked about the ghostly Soul Douluo who was captured and immediately tortured.

"They confessed, but not many." Yu Xin's expression turned serious:

"He said the Holy Spirit Church had placed a restriction on his mind, and that if he said certain things, they would explode."

"He revealed some of the Holy Spirit Cult's strongholds, which the Temple of War has already gone to suppress, but the results haven't been great."

"As expected." Feng Zaixing frowned, a calm demeanor appearing on his face. "Anything else?"

"The Green Skull organization on the Star Luo Continent is a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult," Yu Xin said with a solemn expression.

"Whoosh!" Huo De turned to the side, his gaze sharpening, and said, "The strongest anti-government organization on Star Luo Continent, the Green Skull?"

"right."

"That's not surprising. I was wondering where they got so many resources. Sure enough, they opened a branch office."

Feng Zaixing whispered, "The Holy Spirit Cult's Soul Douluos have three-word battle armor, and the Underworld Emperor's twelve Death Knights have three-word battle armor; they are incredibly wealthy. But the Sun and Moon Federation's attacks never stop, so it's impossible to obtain enough resources from here."

The Star Luo Continent is different; it only has two Limit Douluos, one who cherishes his life and the other whose mental state has collapsed. The Holy Spirit Cult can turn the world upside down by sending out just one Limit Douluo.

"Yes, but this intelligence is useless. Our power can't extend there. The Star Luo Continent would never allow us to invade."

Yu Xin sighed softly. There are only two possibilities for a country's military forces to enter another country in large numbers: conquest or surrender. Even the Star Luo Emperor would not agree to it if he were out of his mind.

"There will be opportunities in the future, and sooner or later we will eradicate these evil things!"

The wind picked up again, its sound growing colder. Then he yawned and closed his eyes to rest.

Yu Xin gazed at Feng Zaixing for a while, a slight smile playing on her lips, before her reluctant gaze fell upon the Investiture of the Gods.

Time is peaceful.

Unbeknownst to Yu Xin, after resting, Feng Zaixing's consciousness surged into the deepest part of his spiritual sea, bringing the Heavenly Saint Winged Tiger to the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, where he retrieved something.

「涮

A deep, dark light flew out of the halberd and landed in front of the two. It was a deep, dark bead, originating from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger more than 20,000 years ago.

"Awoo!"

The Heavenly Winged Tiger couldn't wait to swallow it whole, revealing an expression of utter satisfaction. Its size shrank, turning it into a kitten with its tail wagging, and it tilted its head and fell asleep.

"I'm going to sleep for a year and a half. When I wake up, I'll give you a big surprise," the kitten transmitted telepathically, its tail wagging like a windmill.

Feng Zaixing bowed to the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd and was about to take the kitten back.

Just then.

Ji Juechen's emotionless voice rang out from behind.

"The Lord of the Planes asked me to tell you that it's best to go to the sea before breaking through level 60."
