Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 434 Crimson Bat King: This person... I feel like I've seen him before...

“Xuanzi, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, is a Level 99 Limit Douluo.”

"Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, is a level 95 Super Douluo."

"And there's Fan Yu, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy, a peak level eight Soul Guidance Master."

"I never expected that Shrek Academy would mobilize such a luxurious lineup of Soul Masters, including one Limit Master and one Super Master, for the sake of an old capital."

"For this, Fengling feels very honored."

Looking back, Feng Ling, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, saw that the Shrek Academy's experts had surrounded the execution grounds of the old capital's hell. She showed no surprise or panic, but instead wore a faint smile and even gave the Shrek experts a graceful lady's bow.

"It seems you anticipated our arrival."

"Then, if you are wise, you should now lay down your resistance, restore order to the old capital, and hand over the criminals you have illegally captured. Otherwise, there will be no more bloodshed and unnecessary casualties."

Yan Shaozhe stepped out from the crowd and spoke to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Could it be that Shrek Academy also intends to use the name of righteousness to openly seize control of the old capital and let these corrupt officials and criminals return to the mountains?"

"Rumor has it that Shrek Academy has made a comeback, leveraging the influence of Peach Blossom Ancestral Academy, and also has intricate connections with our Holy Church. I thought that such an academy should inherit the Peach Blossom philosophy and bring peace to the people of the continent. I never imagined that Shrek would also be corrupted by the world."

Yan Shaozhe's expression became much more serious:
"We have never forgotten our ancestors of Peach Blossom Spring and have always tried to emulate them. However, although Shrek Academy cannot truly live up to its words and deeds and achieve the same results as our ancestors of Peach Blossom Spring, our Peach Blossom Spring Ancestral Academy is not something your evil cult can touch."

“You keep talking about punishing the wicked and eliminating evil, and the people you arrest and kill are indeed mostly wicked. These people deserve to die.”

"But they deserve to die, and you should not have the right to kill them without their consent."

"Among these people, many officials and soul masters are pillars of their respective regions. You arbitrarily arrested and killed them in groups, and the local area immediately lost its pillars of support. Orders from above were not obeyed, and there was no control from below. Rape, robbery, murder, and looting ran rampant. Disasters such as floods, fires, and earthquakes were not reported or dealt with, which instead brought even greater disasters."

"In this case, whether your Holy Church is punishing evil or causing chaos on the continent, I will not say whether it is good or bad, but let future generations judge."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling didn't take it to heart; instead, her eyes showed a hint of disdain for Yan Shaozhe.

"According to you, if they can't be killed now, when can they be killed? You think you are incredibly clever and concerned about the people's livelihood, but you don't realize that these people are in high positions and live like ants. They know you wouldn't dare to shake them easily, so they have a series of interconnected schemes. Corruption, forced labor, and bullying are rampant. If you hesitate and are afraid of the future, you are playing right into their hands. You are incredibly foolish."

At this point, Tang Wutong and the others were completely bewildered and didn't understand what it meant.

However, judging from the expressions of the dean and the vice-leader, they seemed to have conflicting accounts.

During their time in the old capital, they witnessed the 'harmonious and radiant' side of the Holy Church, so they still tended to believe that the academy was prejudiced against the Holy Spirit Church.

"Senior Xiaotao, they are such kind people."

"Why should the academy save these officials and soul masters who have done bad things? Isn't this aiding and abetting evil?"

"I support the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Tang Wutong muttered to herself.

Tang Wutong and Xiao Xiao had studied with Ma Xiaotao in the peach blossom forest for a period of time before, so they were quite familiar with each other. They regarded Ma Xiaotao as their senior sister, so they dared to speak their minds freely.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Tang Wutong and said, "Shh, don't question the decisions of the elders and deans. We still have a lot to learn. Otherwise, Elder Xuan might really treat you as soul masters assimilated by the Holy Spirit Cult and throw you into Shrek Academy's reform camp for some training."

Shrek Rehabilitation Camp is a department for the treatment and rehabilitation of people with mental problems, as well as those rescued from abnormal places such as the Holy Spirit Cult and the royal palace. It can be understood as the Shrek Academy psychiatric department.

……

Feng Ling took a small step back, and as she clapped her hands, two groups of believers dressed in holy robes emerged from both sides of the old capital city. Most of them were also experts above level sixty, totaling more than thirty people.

"You've come at the perfect time to lure me into this trap."

"Formation!"

Feng Ling's expression changed, and she lost all interest in arguing with Yan Shaozhe and the others.

Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; neither can persuade the other. The thirty-odd saints formed hand seals, and their soul power gathered through the divine seals beneath the ancient capital, forming a large, blood-white array.

In just a moment, a blood-red barrier covered the entire ancient capital.

A nine-headed, blood-red bat emerged from the underground of the execution ground, radiating immense power, no less than that of any peak Douluo.

The appearance of this blood-red bat king greatly alarmed Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, Tang Wutong, Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan, and the others.

The situation was about to descend into chaos, but Su Ran, who sat calmly in a corner of the teahouse, remained composed, though her eyes flickered with a hint of unease as the Crimson Bat King appeared.

Isn't this blood-red bat king the very one that was sacrificed to Zhu Qing back then?
As Zhu Zhuqing ascended to godhood, the blood-red bat king, which had been sealed within the Ten Kings of Hell, was released and became the guardian beast of the City of Slaughter.

Unexpectedly, it is now under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult.

It is conceivable that the mastermind behind the Holy Spirit Cult must have paid a heavy price.

Or rather, the two ancient gods pressing down beneath the sacred mountain have indeed begun to stir and are attempting to erode the peace of this continent.

hum~
puff~
When the Crimson Bat King was born, it let out a piercing roar.

The thick, wide blood-red wings flashed like a gust of wind, blowing away all the surrounding tables, chairs, and plaques.

At the same time, it also stirred up gusts of wind.

Xuanzi's expression was solemn. This blood array carried a trace of divine seal, imprisoning them within the city. He could guess that it must have been set up by a powerful figure from the divine mountain.

"The true form of the Taotie!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Elder Xuan personally confronted the Crimson Bat King.

The once withered body transformed into a gigantic mutton-like monster after activating its Martial Soul True Form. Its eyes were under its armpits, and it possessed tiger teeth, human claws, and a pair of enormous bull horns. Over thirty meters long, it was even more imposing than the Poisonous Old Monster in terms of size. A burst of intense yellow light erupted, and nine soul rings transformed into halos that hovered between the five-meter-long horns, creating a truly terrifying sight.

Its power was immense and awe-inspiring.

After fighting the Bat King for more than ten rounds in the sky, he actually grabbed the Bat King's wing and delivered a powerful punch.

The Bat King was no pushover either; the other eight bats screamed and then tore into Elder Xuan's flesh.

A monster and a bat intertwined, and with immense momentum, they crashed into the execution ground of the old capital, raising a gust of wind and dust.

"Whoo~"

At that moment, Su Ran took a sip of tea. The tea had a faint taste of blood, which made him frown slightly.

The powerful impact landed around him, and the bat's large wings overturned the tea table, causing the remaining tea to drip onto the ground.

Su Ran said calmly:
"Really... If you want to fight, then fight. Why destroy this magnificent city and its buildings, wasting such a precious resource and ruining my enjoyment of watching the show?"

Xuanzi, his body covered in blood from being torn apart by the Bat King, heard Su Ran's voice and hurriedly said:

"Director, please help me!"

Furthermore, we captured the nine-headed bat king alive and took it back to the Soul Spirit Pavilion to be a soul spirit!

The crimson bat king's red eyes swept across, its gaze shifting until it fixed on Su Ran's unmoving figure, revealing a ferocious and terrifying expression:
"I, the king, guard the old capital. Who dares to be disrespectful? I will devour you alive!"

"Huh? Something's not right? This aura, this voice... why do I vaguely feel... a sense of déjà vu, like a mark left deep in my soul..."

The crimson bat king stared intently again, and what it saw next was terrifying. In its blood-red eyes, it seemed to see the illusory images of the Vajra Glazed Pagoda, the Nine-Phantom Cat's True Eye, the Nine-Star Begonia Heart, and the Enchanting Fox. Terrified, its entire body trembled violently.

"You...you are Master Su!"

"This beast is blind and failed to perceive the Immortal Master's true form at the first moment. Please punish me, Immortal Master!"
