Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 553 The Body Sect Surrounds the Spirit Transmission Tower
Although Chen Yi was curious about the method Dai Lingxun mentioned for obtaining the Soul Armor manufacturing method from the Spirit Pagoda, she still said, "If the method is truly feasible, the Tang Sect will naturally not hesitate to lend a hand."

Although the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda are currently in a honeymoon period, the Eternal Court still maintains strict control over the production method of the Soul Armor.

Therefore, obtaining the method for crafting Soul Armor would naturally be the best option.

You can have a sword but not use it, but you must have one.

Dai Lingxun said, "In that case, I hope the Tang Clan can lend a helping hand at that time."

Chen Yi paused for a moment and then said, "If we can really get our hands on the method of making the Soul Armor, I can decide to reduce some of the terms."

...

During the day, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na immersed themselves in cultivation, and at night they engaged in practical combat, constantly seeking to comprehend the laws.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Qian Gu Huang Yu returned to the Star Luo Empire, which she had always been loyal to.

After the group landed, Liu Jie couldn't help but take a few more glances at Qian Gu Huang Yu, feeling that Qian Gu Huang Yu's aura was becoming increasingly profound.

When Qian Gu Huang Yu set off from the Sun and Moon Federation, she had only recently broken through to level 98, but now, after several months of preparation, her strength has increased again.

There were only two people who came to greet Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, a man and a woman.

The woman at the head stepped forward and looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, saying, "Qian Gu Tower Master, Gu Yue Spirit Envoy, welcome to the Star Luo Empire."

"Nara, the deputy tower master of the Star Luo Spirit Pagoda, greets the two lords."

Nara was rather petite, only reaching Qian Gu Huang Yu's chin. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, not as snow-white as Gu Yue Na's, but it had its own unique charm.

Nora's face was painted with several lines of oil paint, and three feathers were pinned to her long, black hair as decoration.

[Nara, Martial Soul: Voodoo Staff, Level 95 Super Douluo, Title: Heavenly Poison, Native of the Star Luo Empire.]

Information about Nara flashed through Qian Gu Huang Yu's mind. He gently grasped Nara's hand and said, "I'll be relying on you for the rest of the time."

The man next to Nora was clearly not good with words; after hesitating for a long time, he finally only said "hello".

Looking at the tall, dark-skinned man before her, Qian Gu Huang Yu recalled the information about him: [Asante, Martial Soul: Wild Buffalo, Title: Mad Douluo, Level 94 Title Douluo.]

Qian Gu Huang Yu's gaze swept over Nara and Asante, and she couldn't help but wonder why her senior sister Yue Hong Chen hadn't come.

Whether as her senior sister or the person in charge of the Spirit Pagoda of the Star Luo Empire, she should be here to greet me at this time.

Seemingly noticing Qian Gu Huang Yu's confusion, Nara explained, "The Lord of the Red Dust Tower has some unexpected situations to deal with and can't get away for the time being."

Qian Gu Huang Yu frowned slightly, also wondering what could be so important that Yue Hong Chen would go to such lengths.

However, being a newcomer, Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally wouldn't ask questions at this moment, and simply said, "Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda."

Following behind Nara, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na soon saw a line of luxurious extended limousines.

It wasn't just two people who came to greet Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, but an entire convoy.

Seeing that the car didn't even have a sign indicating the Spirit Transmission Tower, Qian Gu Huang Yu became increasingly curious about the Star Luo Empire.

[The Spirit Pagoda, as the most prominent organization right now, shouldn't be keeping such a low profile!]

Since the problem didn't originate with the Spirit Pagoda, it must have occurred within the Star Luo Empire.

Nara, Qian Gu Huang Yu, and Gu Yue Na boarded the second vehicle. The first vehicle was naturally the lead vehicle, and the remaining personnel also proceeded in an orderly manner.

Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na sat in the back row, while Nara sat in the front passenger seat.

After the car started moving, Nara said, "Master of the Ancient Tower, the details of the Spirit Tower branch of the Star Luo Empire will be explained to you personally after you arrive in Star Luo City."

"Before that, please feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know."

Yue Hongchen had only been in the Star Luo Empire as the master of the Spirit Pagoda for a short time, so naturally he had not yet managed to win over Nara, this top local strongman, as a confidant.

In contrast, Nara was also unclear about Yue Hongchen's views on many things, not to mention that the two were fellow disciples. It would be better for Nara to avoid being blamed by both sides for saying too much or too little.

It's better to follow the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and just answer whatever Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na ask.

Seeing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't say much, but simply inquired about the current situation of the Xing Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Continent is larger than the Dou Ling Continent, and there is still a considerable distance from the coast to Star Luo City. It wasn't until evening that the caravan entered Star Luo City and headed straight for the Star Luo City Spirit Transmission Tower.

Upon approaching the Spirit Pagoda in Star Luo City, Qian Gu Huang Yu discovered that the Spirit Pagoda, one of the most powerful organizations in the world, was actually surrounded!

Those who dared to surround the Spirit Pagoda were naturally not ordinary people. Most of them were strong and robust, some with thick arms, some with long legs, some with large feet, and some even had big heads.

In Qian Gu Huang Yu's understanding, there is only one sect in the Douluo Continent with such characteristics—the Body Sect!

The leader was a tall old man with incredibly thick arms and fingers. He shouted, "Yue Hongchen, quickly return my Body Sect disciples, or I will raze your Spirit Transmission Tower to the ground!"

Inside the limousine, Qian Gu Huang Yu asked Nara, "Why is the Spirit Pagoda blocked? What exactly is going on?"

Nara said, "It is said that the Red Dust Tower Master kidnapped a disciple of the Body Sect, which angered the Body Sect. The Body Sect has been blocking the gate for a week now."

"I heard? Didn't Yue Hongchen tell you the details?" Gu Yuena quickly noticed the problem.

No matter what, Nara is the deputy tower master of the Star Luo Spirit Pagoda, so she should know about this kind of thing.

Nara said, "The Lord of the Red Dust Tower only told us that we must not let the people of the Body Sect enter the Spirit Transmission Tower under any circumstances. After leaving this order, he seemed to go into seclusion."

"Aside from informing me and Asante to come and greet you both, no other orders have been given this week."

"However, you two need not worry. The Body Sect would never dare to enter the Spirit Pagoda. If they did, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Spirit Pagoda."

"The Body Sect has long since declined and is naturally no match for the Spirit Pagoda."

"The old man who was leading the group just now was the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, Zhang Shun, the Dragon Claw Douluo, who was only a level 93 Title Douluo."

"The Grand Elder is only level 93?" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but sigh at how ridiculously weak the Body Sect was now.

Although she had long known that the strength of the Body Sect in S3 had declined significantly, she did not expect it to be so weak.

Upon learning that the Great Elder of the Body Sect was merely an ordinary Title Douluo, Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but secretly gasp, thinking to herself that the Body Sect was far too weak. Gu Yue Na, on the other hand, turned her head away somewhat guiltily. Back then, in order to study the mysteries of the Body Martial Soul, Di Tian had relentlessly pursued and killed the Sect Master of the Body Sect, effectively wiping out the entire sect.

The decline of the Body Sect to this point is largely due to the presence of spirit beasts.

"Does the Body Sect not even have any experts above the Super Douluo level anymore?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked with some curiosity.

Nara said, "The Body Sect currently only has two Super Douluo, the Sect Master and the Vice Sect Master, but the Vice Sect Master is only level 95, which is even lower than me."

The deputy sect leader of the Body Sect is the legitimate number two figure in the Body Sect, but Nara doesn't even have a name in the Spirit Pagoda.

This is enough to show the gap between the two major soul master sects. Back then, the Body Sect was a force that could rival Shrek Academy, but now the two major forces are nowhere to be seen.

Nara changed the subject, saying, "However, Mu Tian, ​​the sect master of the Body Sect, is a Limit Douluo demigod, known as the last glimmer of the Body Sect. He needs to be especially careful."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly, but she didn't care. With her current strength, she wouldn't be afraid of even a quasi-god.

If it were Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie at their peak, I might take them seriously. The others are just stray dogs on the street.

[This must be why Yue Hongchen couldn't come in person.] Qian Gu Huang Yu pondered to herself.

Although the main gate of the Spirit Pagoda was blocked by the Body Sect, Qian Gu Huang Yu still entered the Spirit Pagoda through the back gate after getting off the car.

Nara glanced at the soul-guided communicator and said to Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, "The Lord of the Red Dust Tower is waiting for you two on the top floor. Shall we go there now?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Let's go now."

“Alright, please follow me,” Nara said.

Nara led Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na to a red elevator, which was a private elevator for the upper floors of the Spirit Pagoda and could take them to any floor.

If it were a regular elevator, there would be some floors that it couldn't reach.

Nara took out a card from her storage ring and swiped it. The elevator doors slowly opened, and the three of them entered together.

The elevator was very fast, and it soon arrived at the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda.

After Nara led Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na to the door of an office, she said, "The Lord of the Red Dust Tower is inside, so I won't go in."

After Nara left, before Qian Gu Huang Yu could even knock, the office door opened by itself, and a stunningly beautiful woman with long white hair and wearing a white uniform walked out.

After seeing Yue Hongchen's clothes clearly, a strange expression couldn't help but appear on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face.

Yue Hongchen's white uniform is somewhat similar to the uniform of the Blood God Legion, and he looks very dashing.

But that alone wouldn't be enough to surprise Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Instead, Qian Gu Huang Yu recalled the other members of the Spirit Pagoda she had met along the way. Their martial spirits were all things like voodoo staffs, water buffaloes, zebras, and so on, all of which had a strong African flavor from her previous life.

Even his appearance had some African influences, but Yue Hongchen in front of him had the demeanor of a European military officer in both appearance and clothing.

Even Yue Hongchen's martial soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, is capable of firing soul-guided guns and cannons.

"My underlings are all African natives, but our boss is a European colonizer. What kind of hellish joke is this?" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but complain.

"Junior sister, do you remember me? We met during the Mingdu Tournament." Yue Hongchen smiled slightly and said softly.

Yue Hongchen's eyes were very eye-catching; his left eye was an ice-blue color like ice that had never melted for thousands of years, while his right eye was a bright gold color like the sun.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu had seen Yue Hong Chen's photos long ago, and even met her in person five years ago, it was as if Qian Gu Huang Yu had undergone tremendous changes in the past five years.

Although Yue Hongchen's appearance has not changed much, the change in her temperament is particularly noticeable.

If Yue Hongchen was still somewhat immature when she first graduated from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, she is now more like a high and mighty deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

"Senior sister, it's been almost five years since we last met, hasn't it?" Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a smile.

“Yes, five years have passed, and my junior sister has become even more beautiful, as has her husband!” Yue Hongchen looked at Gu Yuena and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na both nodded in satisfaction, not because they were happy to be praised for their good looks by Yue Hong Chen.

In Qian Gu Huang Yu's view, "brother-in-law" is short for "junior sister's wife," proving that he is in a superior position.

But in Gu Yuena's view, "brother-in-law" refers to her junior sister's husband, proving that she is in a superior position.

They were all satisfied with Yue Hongchen's judgment.

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na both nodded in agreement, Yue Hong Chen smiled and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."

Yue Hongchen's office is very large; it's more like a reception room than an office.

Yue Hongchen did not lead Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na to his desk, but went directly to the sofa.

After the three of them were seated, Yue Hongchen said, "I think you must be very curious as to why the Body Sect blocked the entrance to our Spirit Transmission Tower, right?"

Seeing that the moon was red and dusty, Qian Gu Huang Yu went straight to the point, saying, "I heard from Nara that it was because you, Senior Sister, kidnapped the disciples of the Body Sect?"

To be honest, Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't believe this, not to mention that kidnapping someone else's disciple would not benefit the Spirit Pagoda.

Most importantly, Qian Gu Huang Yu did not believe that her senior sister was the kind of person who would kidnap someone and then not know how to clean up the scene, or that she would be discovered.

But to Qian Gu Huang Yu's astonishment, Yue Hong Chen slowly nodded.

"Are you serious?" Gu Yuena said with some surprise. She had been in the human world for so many years, and logically speaking, someone of her status shouldn't make such a mistake.

Yue Hongchen said, "Strictly speaking, I saved a disciple of the Body Sect."

"Senior Sister, what does this mean?" Qian Gu Huang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. Although both involve keeping a disciple of the Body Sect in the Spirit Transmission Tower, the difference between kidnapping and rescuing is enormous.

Yue Hongchen said, "A disciple of the Body Sect was persecuted by the sect leader and had no choice but to apply for refuge at the Spirit Pagoda."

"In the end, out of humanitarianism and compassion for ordinary Soul Masters, I took her in."

"But the Body Sect is still not giving up and continues to block the entrance of the Spirit Transmission Tower. That's roughly what happened."
