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

The Fourth Elder was very puzzled.

Ning Rongrong did not respond.

The cult leader also did nothing.

After some time, the cult leader spoke again:

"After completing this mission, you can choose to engage in a bloody battle with one of the fourth, fifth, or sixth elders. The winner will kill the loser and take everything the loser has to offer."

She then turned to the three elders, the fourth, fifth, and sixth, and said, "For the sake of fairness, the three of you will also be subject to the same rules. After completing your tasks, you can either launch a bloodbath against the first three elders or against the seventh elder."

"bloody battle!"

Upon hearing this word, even the second and third elders couldn't sit still.

It's been a long time since I've heard this term. The last time was when the Grand Elder launched a bloody battle against the former Grand Elder.

Bloodshed, as the ultimate means of resolving conflicts within the Holy Spirit Church, is rarely discussed.

The fact that it's being brought out now means that the sect leader values ​​this Seventh Elder highly, and that this Seventh Elder is also very strong, enough to make an example of him through a bloody battle.

Their gazes swept over the three elders, number four, five, and six.

The fifth and sixth elders were stunned when they heard the words "blood battle" and began to fawn over Ning Rongrong: "But then again, I think the newcomers are not bad either."

"There must be a reason why the newcomer was able to defeat the Seventh Elder. It's just the right time for the Seventh Elder to step down."

Their strength wasn't particularly high, and they had no desire to be chosen by Ning Rongrong, who had already killed the Seventh Elder.

Compared to them, the Fourth Elder, being such a conspicuous figure, is more deserving of being chosen, isn't he?

They were thinking about it, while also keeping an eye on Ning Rongrong's movements.

"A bloody battle, interesting. Very well, I guarantee this mission will be completed very quickly. Fourth Elder, wipe your neck clean and just wait."

After hearing this, they were relieved.

Ning Rongrong was already calculating in her mind: six Holy Spirit Pills plus three scrolls would be a very generous harvest.

The number is correct. Ning Rongrong knew that with her level 43 strength, she would still have some difficulty facing a Soul Douluo directly, so the Blood Battle was definitely not about directly devouring the Four Elders.

Before that, she also planned to devour the Fifth and Sixth Elders. This way, she would obtain two scrolls, enough to raise her level to over 50. Since both the Elephant Armor Sect and the Wind Sword Sect had determined the approximate locations of the Fifth and Sixth Elders, devouring them directly wasn't out of the question.

As for why they can eat so readily—do they even need to consider killing evil spirit masters who drop rewards?

The Fourth Elder, not to be outdone, retorted, "Seventh Elder, I offer you the same words."

-

At the same time as the meeting, in the large room.

"Hey, third person in charge, why haven't you done your job well again this month?"

After chatting for a while, one of the people in charge said to Huo Shengsheng in a mocking tone, "Huo Shengsheng messed up a Saintess ceremony and couldn't contact the Eighth Elder. In his eyes, this was perfect fodder for gossip."

Huo Shengsheng glanced at the person in charge and said, "Second person in charge, it seems that the elder you are in charge of hasn't made any effective progress this month, right? I, at least, successfully completed one Saintess Ceremony."

The second person in charge's smile gradually froze. He walked up to Huo Shengsheng and was about to grab her collar. Huo Shengsheng was also preparing to take advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and retaliate.

At this point, the person in charge stepped forward and eased tensions between the two.

The person in charge is far more powerful than the two of them. With the person in charge in charge taking action, the two of them cannot afford to clash.

Huo Shengsheng could only shake her head and sigh.

Just then, the conference room door opened.

Several elders walked out with grim faces.

The second person in charge noticed that something was wrong with the Fourth Elder and quickly followed him, but the Fourth Elder was walking too fast and he couldn't catch up.

The five and six elders took this opportunity to enter the private room and teleport back.

Seeing this, the second person in charge had no choice but to go back.

The situation on the side of the person in charge is much better; he is currently chatting with the first three elders.

Although, in Ning Rongrong's eyes, the three elders did not listen.

"what happens?"

Huo Shengsheng moved closer to Ning Rongrong and asked in a low voice.

The meeting ended in a rather unpleasant atmosphere.

"I see. Why?"

"My identity has been discovered."

"It was just something I mentioned before, and the elders seemed to accept it fairly well. That's definitely not the real reason. What is the real reason?"

"I have declared war on the Fourth Elder. It will be a bloody war."

Ning Rongrong spoke calmly, her voice completely still.

Huo Shengsheng couldn't sit still any longer and looked at Ning Rongrong in disbelief: "You started this whole thing right away? When did you get so bold?"

"He was the one who disliked me first, it has nothing to do with me," Ning Rongrong explained.

"Can you beat them in a month?"

"I can't beat them, so I'm in for a tough month." Ning Rongrong sighed and looked in Huo Shengsheng's direction. "By the way, my mission is to conduct the fourth Saintess Ceremony. Do you have any suggestions?"

Huo Shengsheng was startled again. She took a few steps back, looked Ning Rongrong up and down, and after confirming that Ning Rongrong was still normal, she said, "I suggest you give up this mission. This mission is high-risk and low-reward. Of course, if you really have to choose, then I suggest you choose Zhu Zhuqing—you probably know that not all members of the Holy Spirit Cult are evil soul masters, and not all holy maidens have evil martial souls, right?"

Chapter 79 Destroying the Resurrection Item Plan

"Yes, I have some guesses." Ning Rongrong nodded. "But what's the reason? What benefits would choosing Zhu Zhuqing bring me, and what benefits would it bring you?"

"I suppose it's a bit of a personal motive, but becoming a saintess would also improve your strength, and I'm not forcing you to do it. Since you want my advice, then this is my advice."

“I looked at your file in the archives earlier, so I have some guesses. Hmm, I understand. I will consider it when the fourth Saintess Ceremony is held.”

Huo Shengsheng let out a long breath, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "So, what about the location and the materials?"

"I don't know." Ning Rongrong shook her head and looked at Huo Shengsheng. "Can you help me prepare?"

Huo Shengsheng was speechless, but finally nodded.

"It seems like you don't actually want to do this."

“No, I must do it for the Holy Spirit Pill. It’s just not a high priority. Well then, let’s leave it at that for now. I found some other information in the archives, and now I need to get on with those things.”

As Ning Rongrong spoke, she walked towards the small private room.

-

At six o'clock, Ning Rongrong opened her eyes.

Then I sat up in bed, looked at the view outside the window, and confirmed that it was almost daytime.

"Didn't you wake up right after the meeting ended?"

She murmured to herself and walked out of the room.

According to the archives, the resurrection item has approximately two more uses remaining.

She had no desire to use the resurrection item with such powerful side effects; the only thing on her mind now was to destroy it.

And the location is either Tang San's or Yu Xiaogang's.

Ning Rongrong glanced in the direction of Tang San's room, then lowered her head and began to think.

After Tang San attempted to assassinate him, he always relayed the news to Yu Xiaogang.

Given Yu Xiaogang's personality in this world, he most likely wouldn't let Tang San continue to possess this resurrection item; he would take it back. Although Tang San might not give it to him, overall, it's more probable that Yu Xiaogang possesses the resurrection item.

However, Yu Xiaogang had already left Shrek Academy...

Ning Rongrong made a decision: no matter what, it would be better to search Yu Xiaogang's house for information about his whereabouts.

Thinking about it, she walked towards Yu Xiaogang's house.

Yu Xiaogang's house is located in a relatively remote place, and he doesn't need to pass through there for his usual training and daily life.

So much so that Ning Rongrong only now realized that Yu Xiaogang's house exuded an aura of dilapidation.

It seems like a war has broken out in this house?

Ning Rongrong quickened her pace and reached the door of the house in just a few seconds.

A sign was pasted on the door: "Master's cabin, unauthorized visits are prohibited."

Ning Rongrong tore off the paper and opened the door. She was stunned by what she saw.

The room was a mess, with dents everywhere on the floor and walls, the bed was completely destroyed, and the windows were broken.

On a relatively intact section of the floor, Ning Rongrong saw the master lying there with a troubled expression. It didn't seem like he was having a nightmare; rather, it was as if he had already woken up and was wary of her.

The master had indeed woken up; he had already woken up from his neurasthenia when Ning Rongrong tore up the paper.

He didn't know who was outside the door, but since they had torn up the paper, it meant they had ill intentions towards him.

He kept his eyes tightly shut, hoping that the other person had just come in looking for something and would ignore his presence.

"Interesting," Ning Rongrong murmured, glancing around the room. She noticed the black robe and mask peeking out from under the master's clothes. He had managed to retrieve those two items. Thankfully, the master was still here; if he had truly left, things would have been much more difficult. But why was the master still here, and why did he lie and claim he was leaving?

Reason told her that this was inextricably linked to Tang Hao.

Upon hearing this, the master immediately realized that it was Ning Rongrong's voice.

Why did the other person suddenly come to my house?

The master was very puzzled. Could it be that his disguise had been exposed and Ning Rongrong knew that he had been at Shrek Academy all along?

Ning Rongrong walked towards the master and stopped not far away, saying, "Stop pretending, I know you're awake."

Upon hearing this, the master didn't open his eyes. Who knew if the other person was testing him? With no one backing him up now, going looking for trouble would only be asking for trouble.

Ning Rongrong frowned slightly as she watched the master's behavior.

Having already taken the first step in her plan to sideline the master, she had already invested sunk costs. In other words, since she knew that the master would eventually be sidelined by her, the master's existence was of use to her.

But creating a fictional world is still too troublesome.

So, is there a faster, more direct way?
