Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 255: Go through fire and water, Brother Tian

After exchanging soul guide communication numbers with Lan Fuzi, Qiangu Qitian led Leng Yulai back to Tiandou Royal Hotel.

The two who came back sat together on the sofa, ready to discuss their next move.

"Xiaotian, since you promised that little girl that you would help her get the psychiatric drugs to suppress the Demon Emperor's crazy emotions, what are you going to do next?"

Qiangu Qitian naturally hugged Leng Yulai's slender waist and did not answer directly, but asked the doubts in his heart:

"Yulai, aren't you curious...why do I know so much?"

Looking at the person in his arms, Qiangu Qitian had an urge to tell her everything about himself.

Leng Yulai smiled sweetly. She stretched out a slender index finger and gently placed it on Qiangu Qitian's lips:

"Everyone should have their own little secrets."

Leng Yulai is already very satisfied with what he has now.

Leng Yulai was a little curious as to why Qiangu Qitian knew so much, but her reason told her that this secret was very important to Qiangu Qitian.

For her little man, this little curiosity seemed less necessary.

Qiangu Qitian no longer bothered about this matter. He was not strong enough now. It would not be a good thing for both him and Leng Yulai if he rashly confessed his identity.

So, Qiangu Qitian brought the topic back on track:
"Although Hua Tao, the person in charge of the Soul Pagoda's Douling Branch, was promoted by Qiangu Dongfeng, Qiangu Dongfeng has been imprisoned now, and he, a Super Douluo, can't stir up any trouble. Moreover, cooperating with the Holy Spirit Church is something that cannot be seen in the open, even if the former Lord of the Soul Pagoda intends to do so."

"From what Lan Fuzi said, Hua Tao seems to be dragging the Holy Spirit Church. He has neither handed over anything nor broken up with them. If this is the case, it proves that Hua Tao is also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow him to be safe and sound."

Over in Douluo Continent, the secret purge at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters might have reached this person's ears a long time ago.

As far as Qiangu Qitian knows, the person with the highest rank to be removed from office in the purge personally supervised by Qiangu Dieting so far is a branch tower master from a third-tier city, whose strength has even reached the level of Soul Douluo, and he is also a three-character battle armor master.

Such people can hold high positions in any organization.

But the Spirit Tower was taken down just like that.

This purge, which was claimed to be a "secret", had already been noticed by those who were interested.

At least the Tang Sect Headquarters and Shrek Academy, which were not far from the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, knew about this matter.

But none of them had any intention of investigating the matter further.

The news of becoming a god released by Qiangu Dieting played a key role at this moment.

The Tang Sect and Shrek could only guess that this was an action by Qiangu Dieting to take back power, nothing more.

After all, who could have imagined that the Spirit Pagoda, one of the four major organizations in Douluo Continent, was secretly connected with the notorious Holy Spirit Church?
Hua Tao knew very well that it would not be an easy task for him to land smoothly this time.

All of this depends on Qiangu Qitian's thoughts.

To put it simply, Qiangu Qitian has full control over Hua Tao's life and death.

Leng Yulai probably understood what Qiangu Qitian meant. She said uncertainly:
"Then Xiaotian, what do you mean...wait?"

Qiangu Qitian smiled and kissed Leng Yulai on the cheek:
"How clever. Who knows... Hua Tao's invitation will arrive soon."

Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman who looked to be about thirty years old and graceful walked in.

The purple tight-fitting hip-hugging long skirt outlines her seductive figure. Her every frown and smile reveals her mature charm.

The young woman's name is Bai Jie, and she is a director of the Spirit Transferring Tower in Douling Tiandou City.

"Slutty fox."

Leng Yulai complained in her heart. She always felt that this slut was here to seduce her little man.

Doesn’t she know that her little man is most susceptible to this?
At this time, Leng Yulai was already standing behind Qiangu Qitian, looking no different from an ordinary protector.

She bowed to Qiangu Qitian and said slowly:

"Your Excellency the Supervisor, the Master of Hua Tao Tower has prepared a welcoming dinner for you. Are you free to attend?"

Look, speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Qiangu Qitian smiled and said:
"Of course, since it was prepared by Tower Master Hua Tao himself, I can't refuse your honor."

Bai Jie said: "In that case, I will not disturb your rest. The banquet will be held on the seventh floor of the Royal Hotel. The banquet will start at 6 o'clock tonight. I look forward to your presence."

Qiangu Qitian waved his hand, and Bai Jie respectfully left the room.

After pretending for a few minutes, Leng Yulai turned over and came back into Qiangu Qitian's arms.

"It seems...things will be resolved tonight."

"I hope so."

Qiangu Qitian also wanted to resolve the matter quickly, and then... go meet the potential ally for cooperation.

Leng Yulai suddenly said:

"Are you interested in the little girl, or the little girl's mother?"

"I am right..." Qiangu Qitian subconsciously wanted to answer, but when his brain was processing the information, he couldn't answer it directly.

What is this?
He pinched Leng Yulai's face unhappily: "You, why do you look at your husband like this?"

Leng Yulai smiled heartlessly and said:
"My husband is a playboy!"

……

On the seventh floor of Tiandou Royal Hotel, Qiangu Qitian had already changed into a formal suit, which was no different from the one he wore when he attended the banquet with Leng Yaoju when he was twelve years old.

This was also the first banquet that Qiangu Qitian and Leng Yulai attended together.

As a husband, he naturally has to treat everyone equally.

Leng Yulai, who was standing behind Qiangu Qitian, was also dressed in gorgeous attire, a slim-fitting black dress that paired with her unique strong temperament made her stand out even more.

However, Leng Yulai was still wearing a top hat and veil combination on her head, completely hiding her face.

Hua Tao was wearing a white suit and his hair was slightly groomed, looking meticulous.

When he saw Qiangu Qitian coming, he smiled and walked towards Qiangu Qitian.

"Your Excellency, I have specially prepared a welcoming banquet for you. It is my honor that you can take the time to come."

"Hey, Master Huata, you are too polite." Qiangu Qitian said slowly, "This banquet is so grand, I wonder how much it costs..."

Tiandou Royal Hotel was originally built in the center of Tiandou City, where every inch of land is valuable. It is one of the landmark buildings of Tiandou City in Douling Continent.

Here, even the most ordinary standard room costs nearly ten thousand federal coins, not to mention booking an entire floor for a banquet.

Hua Tao said quickly, "Don't worry, Mr. Supervisor, the expenses of the banquet were all paid by me alone, and no official account was used."

"Master Hua has spent a lot of money."

This made Qiangu Qitian feel a little surprised.

His original intention was to warn Hua Tao so that he would not play any tricks in the future and set a serious tone for the subsequent handling of the matter.

But now, it seems a little beyond expectations.

But it doesn't hurt.

"It's not that expensive. As the head of the Spirit Pagoda branch in the Douling Empire, I have accumulated a considerable fortune."

Hua Tao spoke very honestly. Qiangu Qitian knew that what Hua Tao said must be the truth.

Even if he didn't use the privileges in the Spirit Pagoda, he would still abuse his power for personal gain.

As long as Hua Tao's identity and strength are there, there will be no shortage of people who will take the initiative to come forward and show goodwill.

Qiangu Qitian nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Hua Tao suddenly moved closer, wanting to talk to Qiangu Qitian in a low voice.

But at this time, Leng Yulai behind Qiangu Qitian moved. She stretched out her hand to pull Qiangu Qitian behind her, and her slender thighs in black high heels stepped forward to block Qiangu Qitian.

Leng Yulai said coldly: "Master Huatao, please keep your distance."

This time, when Leng Yulai came out with Qiangu Qitian, he had another identity, which was to protect Qiangu Qitian's safety.

Leng Yulai didn't even dare to guarantee Qiangu Qitian's safety by letting a Super Douluo whose martial spirit was air get so close to him.

Hua Tao also knew that he was being rude. He gave an apologetic smile and returned to his original position.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was rude."

Hua Tao didn't dare to think that Leng Yulai was making a fuss. Just now, the aura that Leng Yulai "unintentionally" emitted was enough to make him almost breathless.

unbeatable!

This is the evaluation Hua Tao gave to Leng Yulai in his heart.

Seeing Hua Tao retreat on his own initiative, Leng Yulai also retreated.

Qiangu Qitian smiled and said, "Master Hua, please forgive me. This time when I came out, my grandfather specifically told me not to let outsiders get too close to me."

When he heard the word "grandfather", Hua Tao's hands couldn't help but tremble.

During the meeting that day, the ten soul rings behind Qiangudieting shocked him beyond words.

"I understand, I understand." After saying it three times, Hua Tao continued the topic. He lowered his voice a few notes and asked carefully, "Master Supervisor, this time, what is the attitude of the higher-ups?"

What Hua Tao was referring to was, of course, the intensity of the purge.

Qiangu Qitian smiled and said, "In principle, anyone who has personally come into contact with the Holy Spirit Church will end up being imprisoned at best; of course, the death penalty is also very likely."

Don't simply view the Soul Pagoda as a company. As an organization that monopolizes the soul business, the Soul Pagoda is more like a sect, and it still retains the power of life and death over its core personnel.

If core members want to leave the Spirit Pagoda, they will be monitored for the rest of their lives.

Anyone who dares to join another organization will inevitably be hunted down.

If the Spirit Pagoda was really like a company where people could resign at any time, the method of making souls would have already spread all over the continent. Monopoly? Don't even think about it!

Hearing this, Hua Tao's pupils shrank slightly and he clenched his fists subconsciously.

Suddenly, Hua Tao shivered all over and looked at Leng Yulai behind Qiangu Qitian with fear on his face.

"Tower Master Hua Tao, you have been doing too many little tricks."

Leng Yulai's dissatisfied voice came.

How could Hua Tao dare to show the slightest displeasure? He quickly apologized and said, "It's my problem, my problem. I will definitely pay attention to it."

His life is miserable.

They are worried over there, and now they are just making some small movements out of fear, and they are still threatened like this.

The enormous pressure almost paralyzed this figure who had been a powerful figure in the Douling Continent for decades.

Hua Tao knew very well that his contact with the Holy Spirit Church was definitely one of the closest among everyone else at present.

Of course, the other six who are known as the seven giants of the Douling branch of the Spirit Pagoda are also not clean.

"But..." Seeing that the time was almost right, Qiangu Qitian suddenly changed his tone.

Hua Tao's expression also changed. The hope of pursuing life made this man's eyes sparkle again.

Qiangu Qitian still had a faint smile on his face, and was not affected by Hua Tao's emotions at all.

"This time, my grandfather also said that I will be fully responsible for everything here."

"That is to say—I am the principle itself."

Hua Tao: !!!
Why are you still standing there? Go ahead and lick it.

"Come, Master Hua, first explain to me the main content of our cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church."

Qiangu Qitian is still testing Hua Tao.

Of course, this is also the last test.

Hua Tao said truthfully: "About five years ago, under the arrangement of the tower... Qiangu Dongfeng, the Sun Moon Federation sent a large number of pharmacists and asked us to centrally manage them and try to block their contact with the outside world. Not long after, someone from the Holy Spirit Church came to contact us on this matter."

"The drug we are researching this time is mainly used for mental suppression. I didn't think much about it. After all, it's normal for those crazy people in the Holy Spirit Church to have abnormal brains..."

As Hua Tao spoke, his voice suddenly became smaller, and he looked at Leng Yulai with some fear.

Just now, for some unknown reason, the person behind Qiangu Qitian cast an unfriendly look at him again.

"Okay." Qiangu Qitian only said two words, and Leng Yulai snorted coldly and retracted his gaze.

Qiangu Qitian said to Hua Tao again, "Master Hua, please continue."

Hua Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued:

"The project has been mostly completed, but with Qiangu Dongfeng being imprisoned, the cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church came to an abrupt end. The current results are semi-finished products and have not yet fully met expectations..."

Qiangu Qitian nodded with satisfaction. Obviously, Hua Tao passed the test.

"Very good, then Master Hua, I wonder... are you interested in doing something for me?"

Hua Tao's eyes lit up instantly: "Go through fire and water, Brother Tian!"

Even though he is several decades older than Qiangu Qitian, Hua Tao still calls him Qiangu Qitian.

"We will try to resume work on the suspended projects, but we don't have to hide it like before. We will restore the freedom of these pharmacists and let them continue to complete the next work."

Although Hua Tao didn't understand Qiangu Qitian's intention, now was the time to show his loyalty and he couldn't afford to refuse.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Hua Tao didn't have the heart to organize banquets or anything like that. The goal had been achieved, so why should he care so much about the process?

"correct."

Hua Tao paused and looked at Qiangu Qitian.

Qiangu Qitian smiled slightly: "Master Huata, what is the strength of the person from the Holy Spirit Cult that you are in contact with?"

Hua Tao replied: "There are two people, judging from their aura, they should be at the Titled Douluo level."

Qiangu Qitian nodded: "Before doing these, take off their heads and show them to me first."

Hua Tao immediately understood that this was a token of surrender.

"Yes, I understand."

He agreed readily.

If Qiangu Dongfeng had not wanted to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Church before, he would have wanted to twist the heads of those two people off long ago.
