Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 442 Shopping, and then encountering a succubus girl

"These two are incredibly strong!"

Even through the screen, Mu Ye could still tell that the two evil soul masters who came to reinforce him were very strong. They would probably be considered strong even among Super Douluo.

Then, in the scene, the spear in the hands of the Sky-Supporting Douluo flashed with light, and the three evil soul masters immediately stood ready. However, with a dazzling light, the figure of the Sky-Supporting Douluo disappeared without a trace.

The dark phoenix let out a cry and quickly chased after it in one direction, while the other two evil soul masters, their faces grim, searched in another direction. The scene ended there...

"Well, now you should be able to believe that I haven't lied to you," Number 4343 said casually.

"Hmm." The three nodded, then looked at number 4343 with some hostility. Although the other party had indeed let them know the information about the Sky Douluo, this could not change the fact that the other party was an evil soul master.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that." Number 4343 chuckled. "For the sake of the soul bone and rare treasures, I can tell you a piece of information about Yun Ming for free."

The three of them remained silent, simply watching him.

"The Sky-Supporting Douluo is indeed not dead, but his rebirth has come at a price. His soul power is now greatly diminished, and it's questionable whether he has even reached level seventy."

In fact, Yun Ming lost even more of his true soul power, but he couldn't possibly tell Ya Li in too much detail.

"What!" Sure enough, the three of them exclaimed in surprise.

Number 4343 ignored their exclamations and simply said to himself, "Do you know why I don't mind telling you information about the Sky-Supporting Douluo?"

The three of them snapped back to their senses. Yes, this number 4343 was definitely an evil soul master, but why didn't he mind telling them about Yun Ming? Could it be that...?

"Yun Ming has been captured by you?" Mu Ye asked in a deep voice.

"Yes and no," Number 4343 continued, "I discovered it by chance. His Majesty the Sky-Supporting One, who had lost his soul power, was captured by other high-ranking members of our sect."

In an instant, Ya Li, Mu Ye, and Tang Wulin's expressions turned ugly.

The Sky-Supporting Douluo is a mortal enemy of the Holy Spirit Cult. Now that his strength has been greatly diminished and he has fallen into the hands of those evil soul masters, his situation is probably dire.

"Don't worry, the high-ranking official who captured Yun Ming only had a minor grudge against him. It wasn't anything serious; he probably just wanted to tear Yun Ming apart alive."

"Killing him isn't necessary, but he'll definitely be kept alive and tortured. For example, they'll break his bones and suck out his marrow. In short, they won't let him have an easy time."

With each word spoken by number 4343, the expressions on the faces of the three men grew increasingly grim.

You call this not a big grudge? They wish they could devour him alive and suck his marrow from his bones, how much resentment must they have!

Ya Li, in particular, was utterly distraught. She couldn't even begin to imagine what suffering Yun Ming was enduring. Could it be that right now, in some dark, sunless basement, some evil spirit master was relentlessly tormenting Yun Ming?

Looking at number 4343, Ya Li immediately asked, "Do you know where Yun Ming is being held captive? Just tell me what reward you want."

Number 4343 shook his head, instantly shattering Ya Li's hopes. "I'm sorry, I just stumbled upon this by chance. I really don't know anything about the whereabouts of the Sky-Piercing Douluo."

"You must know." To his surprise, Yali didn't believe him at all.

This evil spirit master clearly holds a high position within the Holy Spirit Cult. The fact that he possesses such a capacity for mental visualization indicates that he must have been present at the time, and he might very well have been one of the people who attacked Yun Ming.

Now that they know Yun Ming's specific situation, how could Ya Li possibly believe that he doesn't know Yun Ming's location?

Desperate to save her husband, Ya-li was already considering taking action to capture him.

"No physical contact is allowed during the transaction." A powerful surge of soul energy instantly pressed down on Ya Li, bringing her back to her senses.

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!" Mu Ye and Tang Wulin quickly stepped forward and stopped Ya Li.

"Phew." Yali took a deep breath and bowed to Mr. A. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. This is my reward for what I just received. There are a total of 250 million Federal Credits in my account. This is both my reward to you and a small apology for my outburst."

The initial fee for Mr. A to act as a witness was 100 million Federal Dollars, and later, another 100 million Federal Dollars was paid for his help in visualizing his thoughts, totaling 200 million Federal Dollars. The extra 50 million was Ya Li's apology to Mr. A.

"Hmm, this won't happen again." Mr. A nodded slightly and accepted the card. "Now that the transaction is complete, please return to the lobby."

"Okay." Yali nodded, then continued, "If I want to participate in this auction next time, how should I get here?"

Mr. A: "When the time comes, we will naturally send out auction invitations to those who are destined to attend."

"But..." Yali wanted to say something more.

"You don't need to ask any more questions. As long as we consider them to be clients with great potential, we will naturally extend an invitation to them. Not everyone is qualified to be invited by us; we will select our guests ourselves." Mr. A waved his hand, indicating that the Holy Spirit Douluo did not need to continue.

With no other option, the three of them had to leave the quiet room.

……

Back in the venue, Tang Wulin was surprised to find that the number of questions on the large screen in the lobby had decreased significantly, indicating that others besides them had also received answers.

As time went on, many more people returned from other directions. When everyone had arrived, Mr. A reappeared in the center of the hall.

"Time has come. I hereby announce that this year's Aurora Auction has come to a close. Please leave in an orderly manner."

As Mr. A finished speaking, Tang Wulin was surprised to find that a phantom door suddenly opened next to their seats.

Besides their seats, illusory gates also rose from the other seats.

"Now, please, distinguished guests, proceed through the side door and leave in an orderly manner," Mr. A's calm voice rang out.

"So they left this way!" A realization dawned on Tang Wulin. This should also prevent others from tracking them and avoid any potential double-crossing.

This aurora auction was truly meticulously organized.

This means their attempts to track down the evil spirit master, or even to catch him, will fall through.

Tang Wulin glanced at the person out of the corner of his eye and saw that number 4343 had already stepped through the door and disappeared.

"There's nothing we can do." Tang Wulin sighed, then followed his teacher and Ya Li through the gate.

With a flash of silver light, they appeared in the private room of "Endless Fire Domain".

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment they returned, Mu Ye and Tang Wulin exchanged a glance, and their spiritual energy quickly enveloped the entire barbecue restaurant.

After a while, they withdrew their mental energy with some disappointment.

"As expected, there weren't any obvious flaws. This must be ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation. The situation at that Aurora Auction might be more complex than we thought!"

Mu Ye shook his head. He and Tang Wulin had just wanted to use their mental energy to detect if there were any other people in the hotel who were also going to attend the Aurora Auction, just like them.

But the result was a huge disappointment to him. Apart from the person in charge who was a three-ring Soul Master, everyone else in the barbecue restaurant was just an ordinary person. None of them were even wearing masks or cloaks.

"The Aurora Auction? I wonder how long this organization has been hiding in the mainland. How did they manage to gather such a large network of connections?"

The rare and precious items at the auction, along with the imposing aura emanating from the attendees, all suggested that those present were likely important figures from various factions.

As a result, those people were gathered together by the auction to exchange resources, which would take at least a hundred years.

If we don't do this, how can those people feel comfortable taking out their important resources for trading?

Not to mention, the Aurora Auction even had a quasi-god in charge. Add to that this terrifying spatial teleportation ability!

"These are turbulent times! The waters of this continent are getting more and more murky, and those forces hidden in the shadows are beginning to surface." Makino sighed.

Ya Li, on the other hand, was somewhat distraught, even though she had been overjoyed to learn that Yun Ming had not perished.

But now he has fallen into the hands of those evil spirit masters, relying on Ya Li's understanding of evil spirit masters and their hatred for Shrek Academy.

She simply couldn't imagine the suffering Yun Ming was enduring. He was so proud; he would never yield to those evil spirit masters. But if that were the case, he would surely be tortured terribly.

"Ming, no matter the cost, I will definitely rescue you." Yali's eyes began to harden.

……

After Tang Wulin and his group left, at the Aurora Auction...

Those who had left earlier have somehow returned to their original positions.

Mr. A removed his mask and cloak, revealing a handsome face—none other than Nan Fusheng.

"Ugh, it's really troublesome to get them to believe Yunming's information. Main body, can't you just tell them directly? Or disguise yourself as someone else and sell information to Yali?"

Number 4343 also removed her mask and cloak, revealing a delicate and pretty face and gray hair. She was none other than one of Nan Fusheng's clones: the evil soul master Elizabeth.

Nan Fusheng shook his head and said, "That would ruin the whole thing, and Yali might not even believe it. Now, through this auction, we'll let Yali obtain information through a transaction. That way, at least psychologically, she'll be more accepting of it."

"Besides, you can also use this opportunity to give away some unwanted items to others, can't you?"

One of the clones nodded. "That's quite convenient, but that bastard who sold me the Level 9 Fixed-Position Soul-Guided Cannonballs just now dared to charge me such a high price. Couldn't he have lowered the price?"

The other clone spoke instantly, nine spirit rings flashing around its body, "I sold it, so what? You have a problem with that?"

"No, no." The clone smiled brightly.

"Hmph, you should be content." The titled Douluo clone sneered, and at the same time, he ripped off his cloak and mask.

A beautifully delicate face appeared. Her hair was flaxen, and she was only 1.6 meters tall. From her appearance, she looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

How could such a petite girl be a Title Douluo?

"I'm selling it to you at half the market price, and I'm even letting you pay with rare metals. You should be grateful. On the market, you wouldn't even be able to find one that's available."

As she spoke, the three purple and six black spirit rings behind the girl lit up, sheep-like curved horns grew on her head, and black bat wings and a slender tail appeared on her back.

Succubus—that's the girl's martial spirit. She's also a member of the Holy Spirit Cult. Unlike Elizabeth, the girl actively chose to become an evil spirit master.

The girl's name is Kim Hyun-ah. Although she looks petite, she is nearly thirty years old. She is an evil spirit master who took the initiative to approach Nam Bok-saeng.

He was the unlucky guy who tried to scam Nan Fusheng a month before the destruction of Shrek Academy.

The girl's martial soul is a succubus, which is also an influence of the demon plane. The main ability of the martial soul born in Douluo Continent is to charm.

The cultivation method of this martial spirit is something those who know about it understand: it involves finding men and absorbing their yang energy.

The reason for approaching Nan Fusheng was simple: he was the governor of Tianhai City, and they wanted to seduce him in order to better conceal their whereabouts.

After all, the characteristics of this kind of martial spirit are too obvious. If someone commits a crime, they will be noticed in no time.

I remember it was a dark and windy night when Nan Fusheng ran into the other person while he was walking near the governor's residence.

At that time, the other person was squatting near the governor's residence, like a homeless fawn, dressed in a proper JK uniform, looking at him pitifully.

An ordinary person might have been bewitched by the young girl. Unfortunately, she encountered Nan Fusheng, a being whose spiritual power had reached the Divine Origin Realm.

And so, her life took a tragic turn.

Nan Fusheng saw through the girl's disguise at a glance.

Damn it, that homeless person dared to squat near the governor's mansion. She was definitely a suspicious person. Coupled with the girl's cultivation level as a titled Douluo, Nan Fusheng could tell at a glance that she had ulterior motives.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned her into a clone, only then learning of her purpose.

Nan Fusheng couldn't help but praise her as a clever little devil. In the end, thinking that Xu Xiaoyan needed a bodyguard, he took her directly back to the governor's mansion to be a maid.

I was shopping and then I ran into a succubus girl, that's about it.

This time, it was just a matter of acting, so I took the opportunity to bring her over.

Yes, everyone here is an alter ego of Nan Fusheng, someone he deliberately brought in to put on a show.

The quasi-god-like soul power fluctuations emanating from Nan Fusheng were, of course, from divine punishment. The other clones, meanwhile, were taking this opportunity to exchange resources and share what they had.

As for the dimensional consciousness that Yali just sensed, it was an illusion created by Nan Fusheng using his ability to deceive his mentor.

Coupled with their terrifying mental strength, this gave them the feeling that a magnificent consciousness was watching their thoughts.

Doesn't Nan Fusheng know what the components of dimensional consciousness are? How could he possibly go looking for dimensional consciousness and expose himself?

As for this place, it is just a Spirit Transmission Tower outpost on the outskirts of Tiandou City.

Nan Fusheng found this place and used it discreetly. With the help of fate, this place remained unnoticed for a time.

"Now that this operation has come to a successful conclusion, you may all return to your respective homes." Nan Fusheng waved his hand, and one door after another opened again, this time truly teleporting away.

"Okay." The other clones nodded, then went through the gate and returned to their respective places.

After everyone had left, Nan Fusheng nodded. "In that case, this place is no longer needed."

With Nan Fusheng's departure, the gears of fate turned once more. The staff at the Spirit Tower of this stronghold did not notice anything unusual and continued their normal work.

At the request of readers, the author plans to write a short side story and post it in the group. However, some readers hope the author won't write it. Now I'm a little conflicted.
