Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The thought of Beibei sitting alone in that dilapidated bar, waiting expectantly for her, only to find the doorway empty and the night still and quiet, filled Tang Ya with a pang of self-reproach.

She sat up abruptly, hastily wiped away the tears on her face, and got up to leave.

She was going to see him. Right now. Forget all the nonsense, forget all the agonizing indecision and hesitation. She was going to tell him she was here, that she had always been there.

Just as they stepped outside, Nan Qiuqiu's excited voice rang out behind them:

"Xiaoya! Hey, you know? Come quick, come quick!"

Nan Qiuqiu ran over and grabbed Tang Ya's arm.

"Sister Mengdi said that tonight there's the kind of operation we've been wanting to do! Our spies in the Ordinary Alliance reported that the group of girls who have been recently trafficked have been found, and the nearest hideout is in a bar! Let's go together to rescue them!"

Chapter 298 Tang Ya: What's it like to accidentally find your old flame while scanning a QR code...?

As a top-tier violent organization that essentially possesses many powerful Soul Masters, the Holy Spirit Cult's daily missionary work is naturally not as simple as helping old ladies cross the road, assisting in the reconstruction of villages affected by Soul Beasts and war, or taking in orphans from all over the world.

Of course, they do these things, and quite a lot of them.

But in addition to that, their business scope naturally also covers various fields of punishing evil and promoting good.

In a sense, the core operations of the Holy Spirit Cult at this moment are quite similar to those of the Shrek Academy's Inspection Team. However, unlike the Shrek Academy's Inspection Team, which only focuses on Soul Masters, the Holy Spirit Cult can get involved in almost anything.

After five years of operation, their activities have spread far and wide, at least within the Sun and Moon Empire.

Especially after Kong Tianxu returned, the major underground forces in Mingdu could clearly feel that the Xishui Alliance, as the black glove of the Holy Spirit Cult, had expanded its power to an unprecedented extent, making their lives quite difficult.

Tonight's operation is aimed at the "Ordinary Alliance," which controls the entire underground sex industry in Mingdu.

These human traffickers abduct girls from remote villages and force them into prostitution; the Holy Spirit Cult has been watching them for a long time.

Tonight, we must catch them red-handed and ruthlessly rip a piece out of this rotten flesh that is parasitic within the Sun and Moon Empire.

"I...I won't go." Tang Ya paused for a moment, then instinctively wanted to refuse.

Her mind is completely occupied with Beibei right now; she has no interest in taking any action.

But upon hearing the word "bar," as if guided by some unseen force, she inexplicably asked another question:

Which bar?

"I think it's called something like 'Deep in the Hundred Flowers'?"

Tang Ya's heart skipped a beat.

Such a coincidence?

“…Then I’ll go too,” she said somewhat awkwardly.

Anyway, it's on the way.

Perfect, this way she can meet Beibei under a new identity. That way it won't be so awkward, and she won't have to explain too much.

It's enough for Beibei to know that she is in the right.

With these thoughts in mind, Tang Ya quickly changed into her black night-clothes, a garment typically worn for nighttime operations. All the way, she kept imagining the scene of meeting Bei Bei.

Would he be surprised at how powerful he had become? The little newbie with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul that he used to always protect is now capable of standing on his own.

Will he suddenly realize his mistake, burst into tears in front of me, and take back all those outrageous things he said before?

Hmph, I'll have to teach this guy a lesson then, and show him what it means for fortunes to change every thirty years.

Tang Ya's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

Soon, the Holy Spirit Cult's squad arrived at the back gate of the Hundred Flowers Deep Within.

Several fierce-looking, muscular Soul Masters led the way, quickly making a few hand gestures before bursting through the door.

"boom--!"

The wooden door was kicked open, and the door panel slammed heavily against the wall with a dull thud.

Chaos erupted inside the bar. Several powerful Soul Master guards instinctively rushed forward, their Soul Rings and Soul Tools flashing.

But how could they possibly be a match for the elites of the Holy Spirit Cult?

In particular, Kong Tianxu was well aware of the drawbacks of the Shrek Inspection Team, so the Holy Spirit Cult always assigned a large number of personnel.

With flashes of golden light, Tang Ya's Radiant Blue Silver Grass rapidly ascended, and without any hesitation, she knocked down several guards who rushed up to her in a single exchange.

As everyone scattered and fled, Tang Ya's gaze swept quickly across the chaotic crowd, but she couldn't find Bei Bei's figure.

Tang Ya felt a little disappointed, but she was quickly overwhelmed by the action at hand. She followed the group and entered the underground room behind the bar.

Once you enter the underground, the environment is completely different.

This place is no longer the simple and dilapidated place it was before, but has been decorated quite exquisitely. There are closed doors on both sides of the corridor, with various ambiguous signs hanging on them, and the air is filled with the smell of perfume and alcohol.

The team skillfully divided into several groups and began to act separately. Some carried level-six soul-guided handcuffs and dragon-binding locks, while others carried video recording equipment to collect evidence. They began their operations in a well-trained manner.

"Don't move! Put your hands behind your head!"

"Put your clothes on!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult is taking action; all unrelated parties must remain in the shadows!"

Men and women, disheveled and in disarray, were constantly being driven out and forced to squat in the corner.

Some of the trafficked girls were covered in bruises, some even unable to stand, kneeling on the ground to thank the Holy Spirit Church for their rescue, weeping uncontrollably.

Tang Ya was an unmarried young woman of high social standing, so she did not see some of the most indecent scenes.

But just what she saw so far made her genuinely angry.

She took the lead and cleared the way, catching the Radiant Blue Silver Grass almost every time she caught it in the narrow corridor. Although she hadn't seen Beibei yet, her focus on the purpose of this trip had already shifted.

They searched room by room, and soon they arrived at the door of a very deep room.

This door is different from the others; it is thicker and more concealed, and there are even faint fluctuations of soul power flowing over it, clearly indicating that it is supported by a soul guidance array.

Tang Ya took a deep breath, raised her hand, and was about to break down the door.

Suddenly, a familiar sound of rapid breathing and roaring came from behind the door, causing her to stop moving abruptly.

Seeing that she didn't immediately rush in to make the arrest, the Holy Spirit Cult disciples behind her were unsure of the Blue Silver Branch Master's intentions and all stopped in their tracks. They exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what had happened.

"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!"

"Bear Grylls, Bear Grylls, slow down!"

It's him?

Tang Ya felt ice-cold all over her body, her mind went blank, and she stood there in a daze as if she had lost consciousness.

Behind her, a burly man dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit slowly dragged Gao Lou, who was wrapped in a blanket, out of the room. Suddenly, Gao Lou pressed a hidden button on the wall and darted out, disappearing into the secret passage in the room.

Chaos reigned once more, with faint sounds of struggle and crying mingling together, but Tang Ya could no longer hear them.

The sounds from behind the door grew clearer and more disturbing.

"Little Peach Blossom, isn't Bear Grylls awesome? Is he more awesome than Kong Tianxu?"

"Wow! I don't know who Kong Tianxu is, but I know you're the best! Slow down, you're too awesome, I admire you! Ouch!"

"Mom! Little Peach Blossom, I love you too! You are the best! Zhang Lexuan, Tang Ya, they are all bitches! They are not as good as you. Only you, I only want you!"

"It's coming, mine is huge—"

"Bear Grylls, you're the first man I've ever been with. Tell me about marrying me..."

"Just bear with it!"

"Aww~! Bear Grylls, Bear Grylls—!!!"

That sound.

That voice, so familiar it couldn't be more so.

It's him.

Tang Ya took a step back.

step.

Another step.

Her back bumped into Nan Qiuqiu behind her, and the warm touch made her tremble.

No.

No...

"Grab!" Nan Qiuqiu wrinkled her smooth face and waved her small hand, mimicking Kong Tianxu's gesture.

Behind her, countless followers of the Holy Spirit Cult were at the pinnacle of someone's life—

They broke down the door!

"what--!!"

Two screams.

A scuffle ensued.

"Who are you?! Get out! Get out! You can't arrest me, get out, uh, Tyrant, Thunder..."

Beibei, who was only covered by a light gauze garment that was clearly a woman's, was forced out of the room by several burly men with her head held down, and she continued to struggle and roar.

But when his gaze fell upon Tang Ya standing at the door, all his arrogance and anger seemed to be doused with a bucket of ice water.

Beibei stared blankly at Tang Ya's face, as if she had just woken up from a long dream.

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to reveal his signature refined smile, and even his hands, which had been tightly covering his groin, loosened slightly.

But what finally froze on his face was a somewhat dazed and foolish expression.

"Small--"

"Behave yourself!" The Soul Saint-level man slapped Bei Bei on the back of the head, making him stagger.

Beibei seemed to suddenly realize something.

His tall frame trembled slightly, the trembling starting in his shoulders and spreading throughout his body, until even his legs shook. He lowered his head, not daring to look Tang Ya in the eye, and let the burly man behind him lead him away.

Then came a rather pretty young girl, heavily made up, with youthful eyes and brows.
