Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 169 The Fall of the Evil Phoenix: The Encirclement and Slaughter of the Dragon Emperor, One Generation of Evil, Ye Guyi Forced to Attend Class

Suddenly, Xie Ji's smile faltered, and she turned to look eastward, her smile becoming increasingly eerie.

"Led by a Limit Douluo, and a bunch of little guys..."

"Tsk, they're taking so long. Anyone who didn't know better would think they didn't want this headquarters anymore..."

As Xie Ji finished speaking, a flash of dark green light appeared in her eyes. She then turned her head menacingly, looking at Feng Ling in the distance, whose eyes gleamed with a hint of joy and excitement. A sinister smile then appeared on her face.
"It's time to swat you, you buzzing little mosquito. I wonder if this extreme contrast between joy and sorrow will make your soul even more delicious after death..."

Xie Ji licked her moist red lips, and her aura surged several levels in just a few breaths. Before the disheveled Feng Ling could even react, her pupils contracted sharply. Then, she looked down in disbelief and saw a white arm, as smooth as jade, pierce through her heart.

"Honey, it's normal to feel a little dizzy. Just take a few deep breaths and you'll feel better... One more thing, remember not to meet me again in your next life, that way... maybe you'll die a little easier..."

Xie Ji whispered with a smile in Feng Ling's ear.

She then abruptly withdrew her hand and crushed the blood-soaked heart.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but not a single drop landed on Xie Ji, not even on her arm.

……

This is the scene that Long Xiaoyao saw as soon as he arrived at the battlefield.

The Holy Spirit Cult's vice leader, Feng Ling, was completely lifeless. Beside her, a tall, slender woman, seemingly perfect, gently placed her hand on Feng Ling's head. Immediately, a white light, like a soul, flew out from Feng Ling's body, which the woman devoured in the blink of an eye. Feng Ling's body then turned to dust and vanished in the next instant. The remaining soul bones on her body were collected by the woman...

"Devouring souls... that's an evil soul master, and a Limit Douluo-level evil soul master at that..."

Long Xiaoyao frowned, unable to believe that such a powerful evil spirit master could exist on the continent besides their Holy Spirit Cult…

This is totally against common sense!
Once an evil soul master enters the Title Douluo realm, they truly reach new heights with each step. This statement applies not only to combat power but also to the topic of cultivation advancement.

Even for the elders of their Holy Spirit Cult who receive massive blood offerings, breaking through to the next level in the Title Douluo realm is incredibly difficult. Yet this woman before him appears to be no more than thirty or forty years old… Moreover, as far as Long Xiaoyao knows, apart from the Holy Spirit Cult members periodically committing acts of brutality similar to massacres, there have been no other large-scale human or soul beast deaths on the continent in the past hundred years…

If there was no killing or devouring, then where did the terrifying soul power that was covered with the aura of countless living beings and appeared extremely ferocious come from?
Confusion and astonishment overwhelmed Long Xiaoyao's mind, but in that instant of his daze, a huge purple-gold beam of light pierced through space from behind them and came at lightning speed.

The titled Douluo at the very back of the formation didn't even have time to react or cry for help before being reduced to dust by the terrifying power of the Demonic Divine Light. If Long Xiaoyao hadn't pulled the others away in time, this single attack would have slaughtered nearly half of the people he had brought...

After taking a deep breath, Long Xiaoyao looked up and saw that a stunningly beautiful woman in a dark purple dress had appeared in mid-air. The aura emanating from that woman was that of another Limit Douluo.

Shu Yan secretly sent a few messages to Xue Di and the others, and they no longer held back, quickly slaughtering everyone in the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters...

Long Xiaoyao's expression grew increasingly astonished and grave. He took a deep breath, but the nerves on his face began to twitch uncontrollably...

The earlier news of the four Super Douluo launching a surprise attack on the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters had already shocked him enough, but now that he's back, he's discovered the problem.

This isn't just four Super Douluos, it's three Limit Douluos plus several extremely powerful Super Douluos! This kind of power...

Cold sweat trickled down Long Xiaoyao's forehead. He seemed to finally realize that this was all a trap set by the other side, a trap to lure in a big fish with a long line, and they were undoubtedly the big fish that the other side was waiting for...

"Senior Dragon Emperor, we've been waiting for a long time..."

Shu Yan casually crushed a Soul Master Soul Douluo who was trying to escape in the chaos, then took a step forward and surrounded Long Xiaoyao with Xue Di and the others.

"who are you?"

Long Xiaoyao's face was ashen, and his gaze toward Shu Yan held a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"Shu Yan, I'm sure Senior Dragon Emperor has heard of this name..."

Shu Yan chuckled.

"You're Shu Yan!?"

Long Xiaoyao grew increasingly suspicious and uncertain.

He had heard of Shu Yan's name, but he had never seen Shu Yan in person before, and he couldn't imagine how a teenager could have such a terrifying aura.

"Indeed, I had heard of the Dragon Emperor Douluo's reputation from Elder Mu before, and seeing him today, I can confirm that what Elder Mu said was indeed true."

Shu Yan wore a smile, but Long Xiaoyao felt a chill creeping into his heart.

He couldn't see through the young man before him... With his Limit Douluo-level mental strength and perception, he couldn't discern the boy's cultivation level or background at all. In fact, he felt a faint sense of oppression emanating from the other party, a pressure that made his martial soul uncontrollably agitated, even showing a faint tendency to submit...

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Long Xiaoyao continued to ask in a deep voice.

Shu Yan looked at him, the smile on his face gradually fading:

"People always ask questions with answers in mind. What I want to do is naturally destroy the Holy Spirit Cult. It's just a pity that I couldn't lure Ye Xishui and Zhong Liwu here this time. But don't worry, they will all go down to join you soon."

After saying that, Shu Yan stopped wasting words with Long Xiaoyao and gave Xue Di and the others a look. Everyone understood instantly. In an instant, the powerful soul force surged and the entire sky collapsed. Space cracked inch by inch, and everything within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be frozen in time.

Long Xiaoyao sensed something was wrong, but with enemies coming from all directions, he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock and had no choice but to release his martial soul ring to meet the enemy...

……

Just as Long Xiaoyao was being brutally "beaten up" by the crowd, in an extremely luxurious manor in Mingdu, Ming Yining looked with great interest at the girl tightly bound by a circle of blue-black chains.

The girl was disheveled, with some unhealed wounds on her exposed skin, but even so, her eyes were still full of stubbornness and resentment, and she looked at Ming Yining as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.

Ming Yining naturally noticed this, but she didn't care at all.

She leaned down slightly, and a bewitching rose bloomed, pulling the girl to her side.

Ming Yining lifted the girl's chin with her fingertips, scrutinizing the girl's exquisite face, which was tinged with a hint of holiness. Ming Yining chuckled and said, "Holy Angel Soul King, you are quite good. With the power of a Soul King, you actually managed to injure a seventh-level Soul Master. However, you are still too weak."

Ye Guyi stared coldly at Ming Yining, and after a long while, she spoke in a cold voice:

"Kill me or torture me, do as you please. If I fall into the hands of you evil soul masters, consider it my bad luck."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yining smiled again, then shook her head slightly and said with a smile:

"I won't kill you. On the contrary, I'll introduce you to a better place. Holy Angels can't survive in the Sun Moon Empire; it's long become a breeding ground for evil soul masters. You should thank me; without me, you would have died an unexplained death on the road sooner or later..."

"Besides, I'm not an evil soul master. I'm an Imperial Earl, the jewel of the Ming family, and the youngest female Title Douluo in the Empire. Unless I admit to being an evil soul master myself, I don't like others calling me that..."

Ye Guyi paused for a moment after hearing this, then continued in a cold voice:

“You’re an evil spirit master for life, and you’ll be an evil spirit master for life… I’m too lazy to reason with you; you’re not worthy to listen. If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, one day I’ll cut off your head with the Holy Sword of Angels.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Yining was stunned again. She frowned and looked at Ye Guyi, who was now a prisoner, and almost laughed out of anger.

"So you're just a wicked person, aren't you? I'll show you what a wicked soul master can do. I bet you have no idea how arrogant you are!"

Ye Guyi stood upright and fearless, completely unafraid of Ming Yining's threats.

"If you've got the guts, then come on! If I even utter a single word, I'll be unworthy of the title of successor of the Holy Angel!"

Ming Yining sneered. She remembered Shu Yan's arrangements, but she just couldn't swallow her anger.

It's alright, she's an evil spirit master, she has many ways to torture people... If torture doesn't work, she has other methods!
Anyway, the master probably found such a young and beautiful successor of the Holy Angel to subdue her. She helped the master train her a little beforehand. Even if the master doesn't praise her, he probably won't punish her, right?

Meanwhile, Ye Guyi, whose soul power and martial soul had been sealed, had been forcibly given a bath by two maids. The specially made top-grade healing medicine treated her external injuries with ease, just like a Soul Saint treating a Great Soul Master. In a short while, there was no trace of injury left on Ye Guyi's body.

Then, two maids forcibly led Ye Guyi, who was dressed neatly, to a dimly lit room.

Ming Yining changed into a loose-fitting robe, her slender and full figure faintly visible. Seeing Ye Guyi's flushed face, Ming Yining smiled gently, then casually tossed a slightly yellowed ancient book to Ye Guyi.

"Your task for the next few days is to learn everything in this book. In a few days, a very important person will take you to Douluo Continent..."

Ye Guyi hesitated for a moment, but then picked up the nameless ancient book.

But as soon as she opened a page, Ye Guyi's hand trembled violently, and the ancient book fell to the ground again. As the pages fluttered, an illustration that made one blush and their heart race was revealed.

After realizing what had happened, Ye Guyi looked at Ming Yining with shame and indignation, and then angrily rebuked her:
"How dare you show me this kind of thing? Kill me! Even if I die, I, Ye Guyi, will never learn this kind of thing..."

Ming Yining remained unmoved. She smiled elegantly and languidly, then chuckled softly:

"This inheritor of the holy angel, you don't want the innocent people of Mingdu to suffer annihilation because of you, do you?"

Ye Guyi: "???"

Ye Guyi's pretty face flushed red with anger. Just as she was about to say something again, she heard Ming Yining continue in a low voice:
"Actually, I didn't want to treat you this way, but unfortunately, you've made me very unhappy..."

"To tell you the truth, I am not a true evil soul master... Or rather, I want to ask you, what exactly is your definition of an evil soul master? Are all soul masters whose martial souls possess evil attributes evil soul masters?"

"Think about this yourself. Also, let me tell you something else. That important person is not much older than you, and his mother is a Title Douluo with a Sacred Angel Martial Soul. She hopes to take you as her disciple, which is your safest and most reliable option."

"If you really want to kill more evil soul masters, then go to the Douluo Continent. The Sun Moon Empire is not a suitable place for you to grow."

Upon hearing Ming Yining's words, Ye Guyi was in a daze for a moment, and then fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Ye Guyi looked up and sized up Ming Yining. She hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:

"Is what you said true?"

“It’s true… If I wanted to, I would kill you right now, but I didn’t, and that’s proof.”

"Okay, then I might have misunderstood you, but it's not entirely my fault. Your behavior and the way you speak don't exactly scream 'good person'..."

Ye Guyi said very honestly.

"Okay, I accept your apology."

Ming Yining disagreed.

A few men were nothing; their deaths were no big deal to the Hongchen family or even the Ming family. Besides, they were only injured this time…

"Can I not learn this?"

Ye Guyi's eyes lit up, and then she asked with a hint of anticipation.

"No, you are the one chosen by the master. It is essential for you to learn some necessary theoretical knowledge... Moreover, the master is undoubtedly the number one genius of this era, a peerless prodigy who has a real chance of reaching the realm of gods. His appearance is also the most beautiful I have ever seen. If you still want to pass on the bloodline of the holy angel, the master is undoubtedly the best choice."

Ming Yining propped her head up with one hand and said calmly.

"Then why don't you learn?! If you think so highly of your so-called master, then go and serve him yourself..."

Ye Guyi was so angry she wanted to tear Ming Yining and this "master" she was talking about to stab them with holes right now.

“I admire strength. To be honest, I agree with your suggestion and am very interested in it, but all of this requires the master's approval... If he is willing, what harm is there in me serving him with you?”

Ye Guyi was dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the young woman opposite her, whose appearance and temperament were both outstanding, and felt that the other woman must have some kind of mental illness...
