Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

He, who prided himself on being the most theoretically invincible figure in mainland China, finally determined that this method was feasible.

After some trial and error, he finally obtained the location of Soto City.

So he came.

"So, what's the next step? From the information I've found, the complete version of this method is in the hands of someone who possesses Token Number Seven, but I know nothing about Token Number Seven. Does this token belong to any organization? Why don't I recognize it? How can I find this person..."

Just as Yu Xiaogang was pondering, a figure in cyan flashed past him.

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm in a hurry, sorry." The voice of the figure in blue was slightly apologetic, probably because he was apologizing for brushing against him.

Who is Yu Xiaogang? Of course, he wouldn't stoop to the level of the figure in blue.

But Yu Xiaogang felt that the person was somewhat familiar. Finally, he remembered.

Isn't this Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Why is Ning Rongrong in Soto City at this time? Are those guys from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School out with her?

Yu Xiaogang was unaware that Ning Rongrong had joined Shrek Academy, and suddenly began to worry about whether he could successfully obtain the complete method.

-

Let's turn our attention back to Ning Rongrong.

As soon as she stepped into Soto City, she took the purple stone out of her soul tool. Unexpectedly, the stone began to flash instantly.

"It really is exactly as His Highness the Silver Dragon King described."

The flashing signs were clearly telling her that the ceremony was taking place nearby.

However, she knew that it was unlikely that she could ruin the Saintess Ceremony on her own. Even with six hours of training, she still didn't think she had any chance of defeating a Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or Soul Douluo.

To disrupt this saintly ritual, she would most likely need her father's power. Therefore, before entering the site of the saintly ritual, she must first find her father and the others.

Unfortunately, the presence of her father and grandfather was not far away. To be specific, they were at the other end of the street where Ning Rongrong was, separated only by a somewhat slovenly middle-aged man.

Ignoring everything else, Ning Rongrong ran straight towards her father, who had just come out of the hotel.

Along the way, the Great Soul Arena could be vaguely seen. The place that had been destroyed was now mostly under construction, indicating that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had put in its efforts.

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is quite powerful after all," Ning Rongrong exclaimed. She activated her second soul skill, Speed ​​Boost, which increased her speed, and she quickly rushed to her father and Gu Rong.

"Rongrong?"

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat puzzled when he saw that the person who came was his daughter.

A few days ago, he might have sent Ning Rongrong back to Shrek Academy directly.

But after several days of fruitless investigation, he gradually began to doubt the intelligence of the Spirit Hall.

Ultimately, the idea that the Holy Spirit Cult has an undercover agent is still hard to believe. Even he, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, doesn't know the specific methods for joining the Holy Spirit Cult, so how could there possibly be an undercover agent?

Therefore, he subconsciously assumed that Soto City was already safe. Even if Soto City had indeed held the Saintess Ceremony, it was probably already completed by now. He was only here to make final confirmations, and in a day at most, after today, he would return to his sect.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he saw his daughter.

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, perhaps Shrek Academy had given them a break, and Rongrong had come to the city to play. So he patted Ning Rongrong's head and said, "Rongrong, did you come to Soto City to play? That's great, Daddy doesn't have anything to do right now."

This sentence completely stumped Ning Rongrong.

Nothing's wrong?

But the third Saintess Ceremony is still in progress, how can he say it's nothing?

Ning Rongrong stared at Ning Fengzhi with surprise, making Ning Fengzhi feel a little uneasy.

At this critical moment, Gu Rong stepped forward to explain: "Rongrong, we didn't find any trace of the third Saintess Ceremony here. Perhaps it's already finished, or perhaps the location has been moved. In any case, we feel that Soto City is safe. There wasn't anything else going on today, just a final check. Did you come to Soto City today on a break from school?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head and took the purple stone out of her pocket. After reviewing Lu Ma's actions in controlling her, she came up with a plan—

Instead of telling them what's going to happen, we guide them to guess.

"Dad, Grandpa Bone, I originally came here to play, but on the way here I found this magical stone."

The stone didn't shimmer at this moment, which Ning Rongrong found a bit strange, so she took a few steps back and showed a delighted expression.

"Look, it glows!"

At this moment, the stone began to show faint signs of shimmering.

"Found it on the road? This stone is quite interesting. Let me sense it—"

Ning Fengzhi stretched out his right hand, his expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the stone out of Ning Rongrong's hand.

"What are you doing, Dad!" Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks. If they were in the sect, Ning Fengzhi would definitely give in to Ning Rongrong.

However, this is not a sect after all, but a place where cult rituals could very likely occur, so Ning Fengzhi would naturally prioritize Ning Rongrong's safety.

"Fengzhi, isn't this going a bit too far...?"

Seeing that Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi were about to have another argument, Gu Rong came to mediate.

Ning Fengzhi remained serious. He pointed to the purple stone and said, "Uncle Gu, you'll know once you get closer."

As Gu Rong approached, his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there a hidden evil aura on this stone? It's the Holy Spirit Cult! Rongrong, where did you pick it up?"

Ning Rongrong looked a little surprised by what he said.

It's normal that she, a Soul Venerable, didn't sense this strange aura, since even Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong had to get close to feel it.

"Huh? Something from the Holy Spirit Cult?" Ning Rongrong was a little flustered and stammered. Finally, she pointed to the location of the Great Soul Arena. "I was just passing by and was curious about how this place was built so quickly. Then I noticed a stone on the ground that looked out of place."

"Hiss—" Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath. "Uncle Gu, it seems we won't be able to go back anytime soon. I thought the murderer's fondness for returning to crime scenes was just talk, but I never expected the Holy Spirit Cult to actually do something like this!"

In the distance, Yu Xiaogang was also drawn to the commotion. He vaguely heard the words "Holy Spirit Cult".

He was a scholar who studied theories, and he knew many things that even Soul Douluo didn't know, including the Holy Spirit Cult.

He decided to follow them.

Before Chapter 40, Rongrong feigned sleep to lure the enemy.

"Ah...then, what should we do?"

Ning Rongrong looked frightened, but not of the Holy Spirit Cult; she was afraid her father and the others would send her back to Shrek Academy again. It wasn't really a big deal, but she had a feeling that the Silver Dragon King must have his reasons for giving her the task, perhaps even the Holy God's. If she didn't complete it…

Ning Rongrong had already imagined the scene of the night she returned to the Great Soul Arena.

So she had to keep a close eye on things, which required her father and son to take her with them.

So she said, "Why was it me who picked up this stone? Am I being watched?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong stopped themselves from saying that they originally wanted to send Ning Rongrong back to the academy.

Yes, how could it be such a coincidence? Letting Ning Rongrong go back alone might have played right into the Holy Spirit Cult's scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

After thinking for a moment, Ning Fengzhi relented: "Alright, Rongrong, stay close to us. Your grandfather and I will make sure nothing happens to you."

Ning Rongrong's face finally relaxed.

"Uncle Bone, although we know that this stone is most likely related to the Holy Spirit Cult, what exactly is this stone used for?"

Gu Rong closed his eyes, leaned close to the stone, and only moved away after a long while, saying, "I can feel a spatial power on this stone. Feng Zhi, I have an idea. The location where the Holy Spirit Cult held its third Saintess Ceremony was indeed Soto City, and they did not leave, but it was not in the world we know."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but raise her head and look at Gu Rong. She was still thinking about how to guide the two to this point, but unexpectedly, they figured it out on their own, saving her a lot of trouble.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "That makes sense, and the way this stone is shimmering also indicates that it is related to its location."

He squatted down, and somehow he had put on black gloves. He picked up the purple stone and walked around for a while.

The frequency and brightness of the stone's flashing change.

Then he added, "So I think that as long as we follow the light from the stone, we can probably find that place. And when we get there, something will probably happen around the stone, taking us into that space!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but clap her hands.

The three began their operation.

Behind them, Yu Xiaogang casually followed, holding a copy of the Soto City Daily he had picked up from the ground, his eyes constantly fixed on the three of them.

After following them for a while, he had made a preliminary assessment of the three.

Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is simple-minded and easily deceived.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong are both very strong and are currently investigating something related to the Holy Spirit Cult. Ning Rongrong may have come to Soto City along the way. Of course, it's also possible that Ning Rongrong joined Shrek Academy and is out having fun today because the academy is closed.

In short, because of the stone in Ning Rongrong's hand, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong planned to investigate a certain matter of the Holy Spirit Cult together with Ning Rongrong.

Considering the recent activities of the Holy Spirit Cult in Soto, the answer is obvious—

The third Ceremony of the Holy Maiden.

This is certainly not information that a normal person should possess. If everyone knew what the Holy Spirit Cult was doing, then the Holy Spirit Cult would cease to exist. And Yu Xiaogang knew about this not because he had an all-powerful intelligence network, but because—

He is a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, and now the Eighth Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult.

As a quasi-elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, he naturally knew that the third Holy Maiden Ceremony would be held in Soto City, and that the ceremony was being organized by the Seventh Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. Of course, he did not know the specific details about the Seventh Elder.

The term "quasi-elder" refers to someone who can succeed to the eldership position in order of succession if the fate of the previous seven elders is unknown. To make it easier for followers to remember, the Holy Spirit Church does not have a separate position for quasi-elders; instead, it starts counting from the eighth elder.

However, he also didn't know the exact location. If he could participate in the third Saintess Ceremony and make a contribution, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement, and he would most likely become the new Seventh Elder in the future, thus gaining access to more methods to improve his martial soul.

He followed the three men, who revealed virtually no useful information along the way.

Finally, he saw the three of them stop. The light emanating from the purple stone in Ning Fengzhi's hand grew brighter and brighter until he could no longer see the three of them.

"Oh no, they're going in! I'm going to miss it!"

Yu Xiaogang realized something was wrong, so he quickly threw the newspaper aside and ran towards the stone.

Unfortunately, it was too late. In order to avoid being noticed by the three, he kept a considerable distance from them. By the time Yu Xiaogang arrived, nothing was left.

Helpless, he shook his head and comforted himself: "Forget it, I never intended to get involved in this matter. It seems I'm not destined to be involved in it."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang turned and left.

-

"Cough cough, what's that smell?"

After a flash of purple light, Ning Rongrong and the other two arrived at a vast expanse of white.

The place was filled with a strange smell, quite unpleasant, a bit smelly, like something was burnt.

Ning Rongrong fanned herself, trying to blow the stench away from her nose, but she clearly didn't realize that the gas permeated the entire space, and the only result of doing so was that other stench replaced the original one.
