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

Chapter 523 Battle of the Mysterious Pass

"How do you know so much about what happened back then?"

Leng Yaozhu snapped out of her reverie, her face filled with astonishment and confusion as she stared straight at Mr. Q. After all, very few people knew that she had confessed her feelings to Yun Ming back then.

If her younger sister had been present at the time, then at most only she, Yun Ming, and Leng Yulai would have known about this. So how did Mr. Q find out about this old story?

Mr. Q's lips curled into a faint smile as he said unhurriedly, "Ms. Leng Yaozhu, I have my own unique sources of information. Besides, this matter doesn't seem to be within the scope of our current transaction, does it? I'm only mentioning this to convince you that every word I've said is true."

"No matter how ancient the matter, as long as you're willing to pay the corresponding price, I have the ability to unravel the mystery for you. So, getting back to the point, are you still willing to listen to this information?"

Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner turmoil: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Please continue."

Mr. Q straightened his clothes and continued, "After Her Majesty Dark Phoenix left in anger, she joined the Holy Spirit Cult through some unknown channel and is now the Dark Phoenix, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"She was involved when Shrek Academy was destroyed, and she was even among the evil soul masters who besieged the Sky Douluo at the end."

Hearing Mr. Q's words, Leng Yaozhu's hands clenched tightly unconsciously, her knuckles turning white. Deep down, she wanted to refute Mr. Q's words, but when she thought of her sister's eccentric and extreme personality, she had to admit that such a thing might really happen.

"Next, we'll discuss information about Yun Ming." Just as Leng Yaozhu was engrossed in her sister's information, Mr. Q suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Yun Ming.

This sudden change of topic made Leng Yaozhu's heart tighten, and her heartbeat seemed to slow down instantly.

"You..." Leng Yaozhu hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

She desperately wanted to learn more about her sister, but reason ultimately prevailed. She knew that pressing for details now might disrupt the transaction; she could always delve deeper later at a higher cost.

In the slightly somber atmosphere, Mr. Q paused for a moment, then spoke calmly: "Well then, let me first tell you about the recent situation of the Sky-Supporting Douluo."

After speaking, he paused briefly, as if considering his words, before continuing, "Based on the information I currently have, it seems that the Sky-Supporting Douluo has lost his memory."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu looked at Mr. Q in astonishment, her eyes filled with doubt and surprise, and she even wondered if she had misheard.

"Ms. Leng Yaozhu, you heard me correctly, Yun Ming has lost his memory." Mr. Q didn't bother to keep you in suspense and said bluntly, "Yun Ming not only has lost his memory, but he is also currently under your sister's control. The evil soul master who captured Yun Ming is none other than your sister."

"Right now, they're in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Chuanling Grand Hotel. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check the hotel's check-in information. And if I remember correctly, your sister seems to have checked in using your identity information."

"Beep beep." Without the slightest hesitation, Leng Yaozhu quickly dialed the soul communication device and immediately ordered her subordinates to investigate the matter in detail.

Time passed slowly, and before long, Leng Yaozhu's expression suddenly changed as she stared at the soul-guided communicator. It clearly showed that six months ago, there was indeed a record of someone checking in under her identity, and that it had been processed through the family's special channels.

Leng Yaozhu rarely paid attention to such matters, so even though more than half a year had passed, she was completely unaware of it.

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, turned her gaze back to Mr. Q, and said in a deep voice, "I still cannot trust your words. I must verify these things myself before I can continue to do business with you."

Considering Mr. Q's near-god-level strength, Leng Yaozhu didn't want him to misunderstand that she was going back on her word, so she quickly added, "I hope you can understand. After all, the soul of a ferocious beast is extremely valuable, and I can't possibly gamble on whether you're lying or not."

"Since you claim that Yun Ming and Yu Lai are currently on the top floor of this hotel, I will personally go and investigate the truth. I will then present the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul to you with both hands, and I will never go back on my word."

Mr. Q remained calm and said, "I understand Ms. Leng Yaozhu's cautious approach. After all, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul is indeed extremely valuable. Considering this is our first transaction, being cautious is always beneficial."

"Thank you for understanding." Leng Yaozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew in her heart that if she really clashed with Mr. Q, even if she was wearing the four-word battle armor, her strength would at most be at the demigod level, which was far inferior to Mr. Q, and she would have no chance of winning at all.

Mr. Q continued, "When does Ms. Leng Yaozhu plan to verify the information I provided?"

"Now," Leng Yaozhu replied decisively. Since her sister and Yun Ming were both on the hotel rooftop, she might as well go and find out whether Mr. Q's words were true or false.

Leng Yaozhu looked directly at Mr. Q and said, "If I want you to lend a hand, what price would I need to pay?"

Although Leng Yaozhu was quite confident in her own abilities, it would be even better if she could have additional assistance as a guarantee.

Mr. Q chuckled softly, "Ms. Leng Yaozhu has always been known for her wealth and generosity, willing to offer such a precious bargaining chip as a ferocious beast's soul for our first transaction. In my eyes, you are undoubtedly an extremely high-quality trading partner."

"We may have more business dealings in the future, so this time, considering you are a major client, I can offer you this assistance free of charge."

……

Inside the slowly ascending elevator, Leng Yaozhu bit her lip, a hint of unease appearing on her beautiful face.

At that moment, an inexplicable sense of tension surged into her heart like a tide, causing her heart to beat faster involuntarily. She didn't understand why she was suddenly overwhelmed by tension at this crucial moment when she was about to face the truth.

Fortunately, Leng Yaozhu wasn't the type to be swayed by emotions. She quickly suppressed her inner turmoil with her strong willpower. Things had already progressed to this point, like an arrow released from a bow, with no possibility of turning back.

"Is Yunming really in Yu Lai's hands?" Leng Yaozhu turned her gaze to Mr. Q again, her tone carrying a hint of seeking confirmation, trying to get a more definite answer from him to soothe her inner unease.

"Of course. After Yunming was resurrected, he initially broke through the encirclement of evil soul masters without any trouble. However, in the subsequent process, for some unknown reason, he eventually fell into the control of your sister."

"The accuracy of this intelligence is beyond doubt." Mr. Q's answer was firm and composed, as if stating an established fact.

Leng Yaozhu didn't stop there, continuing to press, "Then why did Yun Ming lose his memory? And what evidence do you have to be so certain that he has amnesia?"

Mr. Q spread his hands and calmly explained, "Madam, to be honest, this information is actually based on speculation. I have an informant in the Chuanling Hotel. This person's martial soul is of the mental type, and he has done considerable research on the human body's memory mechanism."

"Based on some clues he noticed, he deduced that the Sky-Supporting Douluo might have amnesia, and then reported it to me. Although it wasn't absolutely certain, I believe that with that person's professional expertise and judgment, the credibility was about 80% or 90%."

"As for the exact conclusion, we will know after we successfully rescue Sky Douluo."

"Okay." Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, indicating her understanding. "Don't act rashly at the time. Wait for me to give the order before you help."

"No problem." Mr. Q easily gave an OK sign to indicate his agreement.

"Ding—" A crisp notification sound rang out, and the elevator had successfully arrived at the top floor.

Without hesitation, Leng Yaozhu stepped out of the elevator first. In an instant, her powerful spiritual energy from the Spirit Realm spread out rapidly like a surging wave, revealing every minute detail wherever it went.

A moment later, she keenly sensed that two Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level were hiding in front of a room.

"Just as Mr. Q said, there are indeed two evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level." Leng Yaozhu thought to herself. Just as she was about to use her methods to subdue them, she saw a figure flash by like a ghost, moving even faster than her.

"Bang!" "Bang!" Two muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

It turned out that Mr. Q acted decisively. Faced with the sudden sneak attack of a Limit Douluo, the two evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level didn't even have time to make a sound before being instantly stunned by Mr. Q's thunderous methods.

"I imagine Ms. Leng Yaozhu and your sister must have a lot to say to each other, right?" Mr. Q said calmly, holding one unconscious Soul Douluo in each hand. "I won't disturb your reunion any longer. If you need anything, just say the word, and I will be there to help you."

"Hmm." Leng Yaozhu nodded again, then fixed her gaze on the door in front of her. She slightly raised her arm, and wisps of golden flame instantly ignited in her palm. The flames flickered and danced, radiating a scorching and powerful aura.

As the most luxurious hotel suite, this presidential suite boasts unparalleled defensive capabilities. Its doors are not only meticulously crafted from rare and precious metals, but also inscribed with a specially designed core array.

Even against a powerful attack from a Title Douluo, this gate could withstand it for a moment. What Leng Yaozhu needed to do now was to use her own formidable strength to forcefully break through this gate.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a card flew towards Leng Yaozhu like an arrow. Leng Yaozhu subconsciously reached out and caught it, her gaze following the flight of light as she looked down. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a room key.

"Ms. Leng Yaozhu, since we're sisters reunited, it's best not to be too violent. This is a room key I got from the staff downstairs; it'll be more convenient to use this." Mr. Q's voice came leisurely from behind.

"Yes, thank you." Leng Yaozhu nodded.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her arms began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Time flies, and the two sisters have not seen each other for many years. She felt a mix of emotions and had no idea how to face her younger sister.

However, upon thinking of Yun Ming's current predicament, Leng Yaozhu's gaze instantly hardened like iron.

Sister, you used to love Yun Ming so much, so why do you now join the evil soul masters, destroy Shrek Academy that Yun Ming loves, and even imprison and torture him?

Leng Yaozhu felt a pang of grief. She had already begun to believe five or six parts of what Mr. Q had said earlier. After all, her younger sister's personality had always been rather extreme, and it wasn't entirely impossible that she might have acted so madly out of love turned to hate.

But regardless, all these conflicts and entanglements will come to an end today. Today, she must not only do everything in her power to rescue Yunming, but also bring her misguided younger sister safely home.

She couldn't even imagine how many innocent people had suffered pain and disaster in the long years since her sister became one of the four Dark Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult.

At this moment, all she hoped for was to successfully capture her sister and bring her safely back to the family. Even if it meant spending all her future years atoning for her sister's sins, she would never want to see her sister die at the hands of others one day.

That's right. Even now, Leng Yaozhu still believes that Yun Ming was imprisoned and tortured by her own younger sister.

"Click." With a nervous heart, Leng Yaozhu pushed open the door.

"Yu Lai, I can't hold back any longer."

"Stop holding back, Mei~ Just pour your power into me~"

"Um--"

A groan, like a demonic whisper, pierced Leng Yaozhu's ears, causing her face to freeze instantly. But the scene before her eyes the next moment made her blush even more.

At the entrance, Leng Yulai and Yun Ming were found intertwined in an extremely indecent position.

What's worse, the two of them were facing the door directly, so Leng Yaozhu could clearly see their movements.

At this moment, Leng Yulai was on all fours, like a sexy female beast, while Yun Ming was behind her, the two of them overlapping in a "mortal" position.

(P.S.: For specific visuals, please refer to the battle at the entrance gate at the end of episode 11 of A Certain Sora.)

Seeing the two of them, Leng Yaozhu's previously organized thoughts were completely blank, as if struck by a sledgehammer.

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu suddenly remembered what Mr. Q had told her before, such as hand-to-hand combat and extracting life energy.

So that's what it meant!
