Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan was having a good chat with the young girl when Xue Ke and Tang Yuehua finished their conversation and came to Yan's side. The two women, who had similar temperaments, really looked like mother and daughter at first glance.

Xue Ke stepped forward, took Yan's arm, and whispered in his ear, "Holy Son, Aunt Yuehua wants to talk to you alone."

"Let's talk alone?" Yan glanced at Tang Yuehua. This woman seemed alright, but what did he have to talk about with the Haotian Sect?

The Haotian Sect suffered heavy losses due to Yan's repeated schemes. The demise of many titled powerhouses, including the patriarch Tang Chen, was basically related to him. Among them were Tang Yuehua's grandfather, father, brother, and nephew, all of whom were the blood relatives of the woman in front of her.

Yan was certain that the woman in front of him hated him to death; what could they possibly have to talk about? The Clear Sky Sect was only able to remain because it posed no real threat, but no matter how much they swore allegiance, the Spirit Hall would not let its guard down for at least the next hundred years.

Chapter 459 Tang Yuehua's Thoughts

"What do you want to talk to me about? Tell me!"

Inside the room on the third floor of Yuexuan, Yan looked at the voluptuous and beautiful woman in front of him, a hint of impatience in his eyes. Although Tang Yuehua was very good, he was not short of women. He would be blinded by greed to actively provoke a woman who was his blood enemy.

"Since the Holy Son likes Sweetie so much, could she learn some skills from you?"

Tang Yuehua proactively brewed tea for Yan. The warm tea swirled in the cup, but Tang Yuehua then said something completely unrelated to the main matter, which left Yan speechless. Did he really look like a lecherous fiend, with everyone rushing to offer him women?

Admittedly, Tang Tiantian is quite good-looking, and the girl is cute and cheap for him, but he's not a bulldozer; he doesn't have to sleep with just any girl.

Besides, that girl is only thirteen years old now, and it's a three-year program. He's not that much of a beast. Maybe if she's a little older and more proactive, he'll consider it.

When Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at the two halves of Tang Yuehua's heart that she deliberately brought close to his face. Looking inside from the collar, they were indeed big and white.

These women are truly natural-born actresses. They clearly wish they could just die right now, yet they still greet him with smiles and even offer him these kinds of perks, thinking that this will make him lower his guard against the Haotian Sect. These women are dreaming.

Yan inwardly grumbled, but his eyes remained fixed on the perk, shamelessly enjoying it. He figured he might as well take a look; it would seem strange if he didn't enjoy what was offered to him.

"Your Highness, you should know the current situation of the Haotian Sect. My elder brother has already realized his mistake. Could you please show mercy and let us off the hook?"

Tang Yuehua's eyes welled up with tears, as if she were begging Yan to let them go. She took the initiative to offer the fragrant tea to Yan. As she bent down, she received even more tea, and Yan's throat moved involuntarily.

It's not that he's particularly lustful; it's just a subconscious physical reaction. A young man in his twenties is full of vigor, after all. Although he added an extra hour yesterday, with His Highness's physique, what's an extra hour? He could add three more, and he'd still be rock solid early in the morning.

"It's good that the Haotian Sect is willing to have a proper chat. What does Tang Xiao want to talk to me about?"

Yan stretched to cover up the embarrassment of his little brother, took the teacup and took a sip. It was sweet and fragrant, and he felt much more energetic. Tang Yuehua's tea-making skills were indeed excellent.

"The Haotian Sect now has only a few hundred members left, and they are trapped in their ancestral land, making it difficult for them to develop. They are also facing a shortage of resources in all aspects."

Tang Yuehua poured out her grievances, then said softly, "After the matter in Longxing City was settled, Haotian Sect wanted to return to Tiandou for development but encountered some troubles. I came here this time to seek a solution."

I just met with His Majesty. There are some matters His Majesty can help with, and for others, if you, Holy Son, are willing to ask, the Haotian Sect is willing to offer the Chaotic Cloak Manual and the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique.”

"The Great Sumeru Hammer Technique".

Yan didn't pay much attention when he heard about the Chaotic Cloak Manual. That thing was considered an entry-level technique of the Haotian Sect's direct lineage. Although it was also divided into direct lineage secrets, there were precedents of it being passed on to outsiders, and the Spirit Hall also had some collected.

What truly surprised him was the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique. This was the method Tang Chen used to sweep across the world, and it could also be called the number one inherited soul skill of the god-level inheritance in Douluo Continent. Not to mention anything else, just the ring explosion alone was extraordinary. In the original work, Tang San and Tang Hao both used this move to withstand the attacks of god-level powerhouses.

Although Yan deduced a similar technique with the help of the Dawn, his exploding ring technique was somewhat different from that of the Great Sumeru Hammer and was not yet perfect. If he could obtain the secret technique from the Haotian Sect, it would be of great benefit to him.

Tang Yuehua nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, it's the Great Sumeru Hammer. This is the supreme soul skill of my Haotian Sect. My grandfather, Tang Chen, used it to conquer the world and led Haotian Sect to the position of the number one sect in the world."

"Tang Chen's secret technique sounds impressive, but your grandfather died at my hands. How useful do you think his things are to me?"

Yan glanced at Tang Yuehua with a half-smile, observing her expression while secretly glancing at her dantian out of the corner of his eye. Something seemed a little off.

"Yuehua knows that these two secret techniques are nothing to His Highness the Holy Son, but they are a token of the Haotian Sect's goodwill, and we hope that you will accept them."

Tang Yuehua lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved, but her body leaned closer to him intentionally or unintentionally. A faint fragrance wafted to his nose, and Yan felt a flame rising within him.

His expression suddenly became much stranger. He glanced at the incense in the room, then at the tea, and said, "You drugged me."

"This, this, Haotian Sect doesn't ask for much, but we know that this is asking the Holy Son to do something difficult. For the sake of the sect, Yuehua is willing to apologize and hopes that the Holy Son can forgive Haotian Sect."

As Tang Yuehua spoke, she took the initiative to open her neckline, revealing her smooth, fragrant shoulders that could barely be covered by the fabric, with large expanses of her fair skin coming into Yan's view.

The beautiful woman took the initiative to straddle Yan's body, her jade-like hands encircling his waist, her voluptuous body pressing directly against him. A subtle fragrance wafted over, and her warm breath rose from Yan's neck, the wet sensation further arousing his desire.

Yan lay back in the chair, feeling the rising fire within him and enjoying Tang Yuehua's initiative, yet his eyes remained clear. He looked at the beautiful woman before him and softly asked, "Is it worth it?"

"Holy Son, take me..."

Tang Yuehua took the initiative to make love, her jade-like face flushed. Not only had she drugged Yan, but she hadn't spared herself either. After saying this, she even brought her head close to Yan's face to plant hickeys, and soon her lips were at his.

Yan felt the moisture on his lips. Faced with this big white sheep being offered to him, how could he resist? He flipped over and threw the beautiful woman onto the table, tearing off large pieces of her clothing with a few quick movements.

Under the lamplight, the fair-skinned beauty resembled a jade beauty, her fair complexion with a rosy glow was incredibly alluring. Yan couldn't resist and lowered his head to taste her without any restraint, while Tang Yuehua was also very proactive.

"Your Highness, Sweetie is outside too. If you'd like, you can... *sobs*"

At this moment, Tang Yuehua brought up Tang Tiantian again. Yan Lue immediately sensed that there was a little girl in the bathroom of the room. He was quite annoyed by the woman's presumption and slapped her in the most prominent part of her body.

"Snapped!"

A bright red mark appeared on Tang Yuehua's fair and delicate body. "Don't act on your own."

After saying this, he picked up Tang Yuehua and carried her into the room. He casually tossed her onto the bed and then got on his own. After another round of intimacy, Yan was gently pressed against the headboard and began to enjoy the services of Madam Yue, the mistress of Yuexuan.

It must be said that this Lady Yue is not only good at teaching etiquette, but also a very caring woman. In no time, Yan was taken care of and felt quite comfortable, but the fire in his heart burned even brighter.

"This servant will come."

Yan was about to take the initiative, but Tang Yuehua supported his chest with her delicate hands and softly asked to sit down.

Suddenly, Yan reached out and grabbed Tang Yuehua by the neck. His eyes became incredibly clear, and he began to grope her body. When he raised his hand again, he had a crystal-clear, fine silver needle in his hand. It looked blue and contained deadly poison.

Is it worth it?

Yan sighed again and asked, "When Tang Yuehua approached me just now, I sensed that she had this thing inside her body."

This woman is ruthless enough. She hides a deadly poison needle inside her body. If she were to have sex with a man, he would be unaware of her presence, and she herself would surely die. It's a method of mutual destruction.

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. You killed Hao, you killed him, what wouldn't it be worth it to kill you..."

Tang Yuehua's expression suddenly turned ferocious, transforming from a graceful and well-mannered beautiful woman into a vicious and crazy shrew.

Her attitude and words also reveal how important Tang Hao is to her.

"You like Tang Hao, right? But he's your second brother, your own brother."

Yan didn't take Tang Yuehua too seriously. He lay back on the headboard, enjoying the warm body of the beautiful woman, while saying things that alarmed her, "Tell me, if I spread the news that you and your brother are having an affair, what reputation will Tang Hao have after he dies?"

Moreover, your attempt to assassinate me has completely plunged the Clear Sky Sect into an abyss of destruction. The Spirit Hall will definitely have to take action. Once the whole story is revealed, the Clear Sky Sect members will hate Tang Hao even more, and might even scatter his ashes.

"No, please don't do this. This was all my idea alone. It has nothing to do with the Haotian Sect. Hao-ge and I are completely innocent. I am still a virgin..."

Tang Yuehua was still cursing Yan, but after hearing his words, she panicked. Tang Hao was too important to her. If she could take revenge, she would be willing to sacrifice herself. But now that the plan had failed, she was willing to bear the consequences herself, but she did not want to see Tang Hao die in turmoil.

"That depends on your performance. I'm feeling very hot right now, so please give me some fire, Madam Yue."

Yan casually pulled Tang Yuehua over, gesturing for the woman to serve him. He felt a surge of secret pleasure as he watched her struggle to kill him, her reluctance to do so, and her forced service.

This woman is a virgin, truly a pure virgin, which is a prerequisite for Yan's interest. Although he doesn't mind a girl's past that much, today's visit was purely for enjoyment, and he wasn't planning on getting emotionally involved, so naturally his standards were a bit higher.

He didn't care too much about Tang Yuehua's attempt to assassinate him. Anyway, he was fine and could even enjoy the woman's freebies, so it wasn't a loss for him.

As for his subsequent targeting of the Haotian Sect, that's another matter. In any case, the Haotian Sect's higher-ups who know the inside story will only be grateful that he showed leniency. Yan felt that he was really too kind.

Chapter 460 The Three Ant Queens

In the Douluo Continent, at the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City, Yan, who had just entered the temple from the Imperial Palace as the 'Assassin Emperor,' received news from the Star Dou Great Forest.

"News has come from the Star Dou Great Forest. What exactly is it? Qiu'er and Xiao Wu have contacted Da Ming and Er Ming. Has their communication with the Lake of Life yielded results?" Yan took the tea that Bai Chenxiang handed him, rinsed his mouth, and asked Ning Rongrong about the latest situation in the Star Dou Great Forest as he sat down.

"Brother Yan, the messages from Qiu'er and Xiao Wu say that there hasn't been much reaction from the Lake of Life yet, and that's not the main focus of the intelligence." Ning Rongrong shook her head, then turned to a page in the intelligence booklet.

"News has come from Xingdou. Because the two Beast Kings recently ventured deep into the Lake of Life to deliver messages, many Soul Beasts are now coveting the core area of ​​Tiandou. Among them are the three Soul Beasts you asked to find: the Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers, who have 90,000 years of cultivation. They have recently reappeared in the Xingdou Great Forest and are probing into the territory that was originally occupied by Daming and Erming."

"Those three guys have shown up! Great!" Yan perked up considerably upon hearing this news.

"My second spirit needs a suitable spirit ring. 100,000-year spirit beasts are not easy to find, but these three are barely qualified. I'll arrange a message and tell them that I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest to scout ahead."

"Understood." Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan nodded. They had already gained experience in this area, having assisted Yan in handling affairs in Tiandou City.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. You can all stay here tonight." Yan paced back and forth for a moment, then made some arrangements. He then looked at his four secretaries, approaching Ye Lingling with a playful glint in his eyes. His words made the girls coquettish, yet they were all quite looking forward to the evening's activities.

...Deep within the ancient and secluded Starry Sky Forest, a man and a woman, accompanied by a large golden cat, were walking through the woods covered with withered leaves.

"Xiao Wu, are you sure those three guys are in this area?" Yan looked around and realized that this was a forest he wasn't very familiar with, so he turned to ask Xiao Wu, the landlady of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu was currently immersed in the joy of being alone with Yan when Yan's question snapped her out of her reverie. Looking up, her face flushed, she hurriedly replied, "Brother Yan, I learned about those three guys from some old friends. Da Ming and Er Ming have been away for a while, causing some soul beasts to become restless. However, those guys haven't dared to invade the core area yet, so we didn't pay much attention before. But a while ago, a friend told me that several large ant nests on the outer perimeter were violently destroyed, which caught Mother's and our attention. You're not familiar with fire-type spirit beasts, but ant-type spirit beasts are quite special; they are numerous and very difficult to deal with. Generally..." Even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts wouldn't want to provoke them, let alone violently destroy them. Our investigation revealed that the queens and potential queens of these ant nests had been devoured, indicating that soul beasts were specifically hunting queens, and only those three had ever done so. Mother, after some investigation, also discovered their whereabouts, attempted to fight them but almost suffered a dangerous situation, so she urgently sent a message to you..." After Xiaowu explained everything, Yan nodded, holding the girl's hand while reminiscing about yesterday's rabbit dance, feeling quite pleased with himself. Suddenly, he stopped, his gaze flashing towards the forest ahead.

"I've found them. You two stay here for now." After saying that, he rubbed the head of the golden retriever Qiu'er and pinched Xiao Wu's bunny ears. After teasing both of them, he quickly headed towards the direction he had chosen with happy, light steps.

As Yan walked, blue light continuously emanated from his right leg, causing the blue silver grass on the ground to sway as if responding to his call.

Although Yan did not obtain the Blue Silver Domain through the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone, he could still barely resonate with the Blue Silver Grass using the power of the soul bone, thereby obtaining the information he wanted. However, since it was a trick, the power and range of the skill were definitely not as good as the real Blue Silver Emperor.

As he walked, he carefully concealed his aura to prevent the three soul beasts he had his eye on from escaping again.

Once a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo realm, they will exude a special quality, much like a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast unintentionally reveals the aura of a powerful being. This quality has a very intimidating effect on Soul Beasts with keen senses.

However, if you want to hunt high-level soul beasts, it's best to conceal your aura. Otherwise, they might use the terrain to their advantage and play hide-and-seek with you, making it very difficult for you to find them.

In the original novel, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape withstood a long beating from Bibi Dong, who brought so many Title Douluos, because they were familiar with the terrain. In fact, if they hadn't been poisoned by Bibi Dong from the beginning, Tang San would never have gotten away with the two beast kings.

"They've stopped? Then you can't escape." Yan, who was constantly on his way, suddenly locked his gaze in a certain direction. In his perception, the three powerful auras that had been moving had suddenly stopped, and many weak auras had suddenly appeared in that direction.

Yan paused briefly before speeding up. He had already spotted the three soul beasts, but since they were constantly moving, Yan, who hadn't figured out the situation, didn't dare to alert them. He cautiously approached but didn't dare to make any rash moves.

But now that these three guys have stopped, he has a chance to sneak over and find an opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop.

“Roar…” At this moment, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, several noisy, faint roars rang out continuously, as if they were exchanging some kind of message.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that it is a relatively open area with few fallen leaves around. In the center of the open area, on a mound, there is a dilapidated ant nest. The hill-like ant nest has been violently destroyed, and several large female ant queens are being dragged out of the nest.

Three enormous monsters were feeding inside the anthill, and their prey were these soon-to-be queen ants.

Although there is only one queen ant in an ant colony, there are countless potential queen ants, all of whom are females who inherit the bloodline of the queen ant and are also capable of reproduction.

Generally speaking, if the queen ant encounters misfortune, or if the ant colony splits and establishes branches, these potential queen ants will become the queens of the new colony, which is also crucial to the ant colony.

Now, these ant queens, capable of reproduction, are being torn apart and devoured by the three monsters that resemble worker ants. And it's not just them; just before, the queen of this ant colony was also eaten by these three monsters.

These three demonic beasts were the protagonists Yan was searching for this time: the 90,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King. These three demonic beasts were exactly the same size, with bodies of similar size, each about three meters long. Judging by their size alone, they were not very big, and did not live up to their nearly 100,000 years of cultivation.

However, there are many small but powerful soul beasts, and many insect-type soul beast kings are of this type.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, whose true form is 1.5 meters tall, is one, as are the three Thousand-Pound Ant Emperor brothers. What these three brothers did not notice was that a figure had silently appeared in the shadow of the canopy of a large tree behind them, observing their weaknesses with a sidelong glance.

Each of these three mighty ant kings was covered with a layer of dark golden carapace, each had six thick and powerful short legs, and each had six eyes on its head, two large and four small, emitting a ghostly green light.
