Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 53 The Deep Waters of Douluo Continent

"I didn't expect that the Ye family would be even stricter with the training of the younger generation than we at Shrek Academy."

Elder Xuan took a sip of wine and a bite of chicken leg, his expression quite solemn.

Yan Shaozhe, who was standing beside him, also sighed, "That's true, but that junior Ye Ying himself has an extraordinary status in the Ye family. Otherwise, even if Teacher is already a cripple, why would he compromise with a junior like him?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan's expression changed slightly. He took a bite of his chicken leg and casually said, "This is his choice, so how can we interfere?"

Elder Xuan really didn't know what to say about Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Currently, he has expanded his influence to the maximum. Mu En's voice in the Sea God Pavilion is only heard from Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier. Even Elder Lin has begun to distance himself from the two.

Hearing Elder Xuan's words, Yan Shaozhe wisely refrained from saying anything more. After all, his teacher was already a cripple, and in this world where might makes right, no one cared how glorious your past was.

"You damned nobles, die! Third Soul Skill: Blood Blade Slash!"

The middle-aged Soul Master, wielding a long-handled broadsword, had a fierce glint in his eyes as he slashed at Zhang Lexuan.

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes as she activated her first soul skill, Moon Shadow, and dodged the attack.

Then, using the mark of the second soul skill, Upper Crescent Moon, he immediately used the fourth soul skill, Lower Crescent Moon.

The moon hung in the sky, illuminating the nearby dark night in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Ying, with the blessing of his first soul skill, the Spirit of the Dark Moon, instantly fired three arrows, directly blocking all the middle-aged soul master's evasion paths.

However, he sensed the threat posed by Zhang Lexuan's moon wheel attack. He gritted his teeth and narrowly dodged the attack despite being hit in the abdomen by Ye Ying's arrow.

Little did he know that Zhang Lexuan's Moon Wheel had locked onto its target, and there was basically no other way but to withstand it.

In an instant, the sense of crisis that the middle-aged Soul Master felt surged back into his heart.

When he turned around, the moon was already slashing towards him again. Disbelief filled his eyes. "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Under the sharp edge of the moon wheel, the middle-aged Soul Master was instantly cut in two, beyond any hope of survival.

Watching the middle-aged Soul Master die, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Evil Soul Masters are indeed difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Brother Ying was here this time."

Ye Ying walked to Zhang Lexuan's side, took her soft, jade-like hand in his, and activated his martial spirit to slowly send his soul power into her body.

Zhang Lexuan could naturally sense this small movement, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

The fusion of the two martial souls not only increases cultivation speed, but also greatly enhances the recovery of their own soul power.

Half a month has passed since the bandits were wiped out at Yuanlin Mountain. The Soul Master they just killed was the highest-level Soul Master they had ever killed this time.

"Not bad, you two have made great progress. You were able to kill a level 48 evil soul master. You have passed this test. Next time, we'll wait until Ying'er reaches the Soul King level."

The speaker was none other than Ye Ying's third grandfather, Ye Zhenfeng.

During this period, all of Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan's opponents were arranged by this old man.

Putting everything else aside, this level 95 Super Douluo could easily encounter bandits or evil soul masters just by taking Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan for a casual stroll.

When Ye Ying thought of evil spirit masters, the first thing that came to mind was the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, they are the only ones in the world with the strength of a Limit Douluo, and there are two Limit Douluos at that.

It has been almost two years since he killed Zhongli Wu with the Destruction Talisman, and it is unknown what Ye Xishui's reaction was.

However, Ye Ying felt that the old woman Ye Xishui probably already knew that Zhongli Wu was dead, but she was waiting or enduring it.

After all, the power of the Annihilation Talisman is too easy to mislead people. Even she herself could not kill a level 98 Super Douluo in one blow.

Just as Ye Ying had guessed, Ye Xishui already knew the truth the moment Zhongli Wu died.

The intense aura of light immediately made her suspect that Mu En was behind it.

There's no way around it; anyone who reaches the Title Douluo level is a top expert anywhere in the Douluo Continent.

Those who possess the attributes of light and holiness are few and far between, and only Mu En was capable of destroying Zhongliwu.

Ye Xishui suspected that Mu En had taken the final step, but was only reluctant to leave the mortal world, which was why he planned to stay in Douluo Continent for a hundred years before leaving.

In addition, Ye Xishui also understood that now was not the time for the Holy Spirit Cult to emerge.

Furthermore, the situation in the Sun Moon Empire also kept her busy. If this reform succeeded, her Holy Spirit Cult would be able to gain the support of the Sun Moon Empire.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Xishui decided to give up on avenging Zhong Liwu and continue to hide until the Holy Spirit Cult could openly appear on the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, although Ye Ying's inner speculation was not entirely correct, it was pretty close to the truth.

While Ye Ying was deep in thought, Zhang Lexuan gently stroked his soft, short black hair with her fair hand, and said with a hint of reproach, "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

For a moment, Ye Ying scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and deliberately said, "I was just thinking, with so many Soul Master sects and families in Douluo Continent, is it possible that these evil Soul Masters also have similar organizations?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenfeng unleashed his Super Douluo aura instantly, suppressing Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan before they could react.

The next moment, a serious look appeared in Ye Zhenfeng's eyes. "Ying'er, have you heard some rumors?"

Evil Soul Masters and Soul Masters are naturally incompatible. Although there are many pitiful people among them, the vast majority are ruthless killers.

"Third Grandfather, I'm just guessing. I don't have any solid evidence. I just feel that since evil spirit masters have been around for so long, it's impossible that there isn't some kind of organization involved."

Hearing this, Ye Zhenfeng fell silent. "Alright, it's fine to talk about this kind of thing at home, but don't say these things in Shrek Academy, or it will make you look incompetent."

Ye Ying nodded in agreement. He only wanted to remind his family, because it would be too late if they were harmed when the Holy Spirit Cult emerged.

He personally wondered why Shrek Academy, knowing about the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult in the original story, didn't tell other forces in Douluo Continent about it, but instead kept it a secret.

It's important to understand that at that time, neither the Sun Moon Empire nor the Holy Spirit Cult was prepared to turn against the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

If Shrek Academy had made this public back then, not to mention that the three kingdoms of Douluo would not have been able to unite and attack Sun Moon again.

This would cause great turmoil within the Sun Moon Empire. Although Xu Tianran is the crown prince, it doesn't mean that everyone in the Sun Moon Empire will listen to him.

The more Ye Ying thought about it, the more she felt that the Douluo Continent was a very deep place, and even a powerful family like the Ye family dared not venture into it.
