Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 120 Hades Douluo, Ghost Emperor Douluo
The ancient east wind bowed slightly and solemnly addressed the gray air currents:
"Maple Leaf City has undergone a dramatic change, a divine artifact has appeared, and the whereabouts of Dark Phoenix, the branch tower master, are unknown and in grave danger. Our Spirit Pagoda is in dire need of manpower, and only you can turn the tide in this crisis. We earnestly request that you make a trip to Maple Leaf City for the sake of the Spirit Pagoda."

The tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dong Feng, spoke earnestly and adopted an extremely humble posture.

This shows just how high this Hades Douluo's status is in the Spirit Pagoda.

"Our primary task is to find the whereabouts of the Dark Phoenix Branch Tower Master. She bears a heavy responsibility and is an indispensable pillar of our Spirit Pagoda. Secondly..."

"The artifact that caused Maple Leaf City to fall into the world of ice and snow, whether or not it is related to the Dark Phoenix, is of paramount importance."

"If you have the opportunity, Your Majesty, please be sure to find out its whereabouts. This item may become the key for our Spirit Pagoda to fight against all powerful enemies in the future."

The gray air current rippled slightly, and a cold, hoarse sound, like grit rubbing against bones, emanated from it, devoid of any emotion:
“Leng Yulai is also a colleague. I will find out where she is.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Gu Dongfeng looked relieved and bowed deeply.

The other branch tower masters present looked at that gray aura with awe and a sense of natural trust.

The Tower Master, known as the Eternal East Wind, is a symbol of power, but the true pillar of the Spirit Pagoda and the undisputed pinnacle of combat strength is none other than the reclusive Hades Douluo Harosa, who is the incarnation of the God of Death.

This is a tacit consensus among all senior officials.

Just then, a man shrouded in a cloak, sitting near the end of the table, stood up. He wore a pale mask and spoke in a high-pitched voice:
"Tower Master, Your Majesty the King of the Underworld, how could such a grand event be complete without me, Gui Yan?"

"Maple Leaf City is now a mixed bag, where it's easy to dodge open attacks but hard to guard against hidden ones. Even though Your Majesty is strong, you still need a helper to run errands, do chores, and investigate hidden agents, don't you?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to travel with you. What do you think?"

Ghost Emperor Douluo, one of the two great figures of the Holy Spirit Cult in the original work, is now the branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, Ghost Emperor Gui Yan.

However, the original members of the Holy Spirit Cult have all experienced a significant decline in their cultivation levels here because they have never harmed anyone.

For example, Ghost Emperor Gui Yan is currently only a level 98 Super Douluo.

Because of her Dark Phoenix Martial Soul, Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai was still at level 97.

Her potential is even greater than that of her older sister, Leng Yaozhu.

The Dark Hummingbird Dragon Owl is a level 96 Super Douluo.

Although Dark Blood Demon Gu Chenyu is only level 95, making him the lowest-ranked of the original Holy Spirit Sect's Four Heavenly Kings, he possesses a four-word battle armor, guaranteeing him at least the combat power of a Limit Douluo.

Perhaps only Hades Douluo Halosa remains a Limit Douluo at the quasi-god level.

Perhaps this is because Hades Douluo Harosa is a special chosen one.

Upon hearing Gui Yan's request, Qian Gu Dong Feng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but before he could speak, a cold snort came from the gray aura:

"up to you."

Before the words were finished, the gray aura suddenly contracted, faded, and vanished completely in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed, leaving only a faint trace of death.

Gui Yan's smile widened as he bowed in the direction where Harosa had disappeared.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Immediately, he seemed to melt into the shadows, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, which then vanished in the shadows.

Qian Gu Dongfeng looked in the direction where the two disappeared, gently rubbed his temples, and felt a headache coming on from a thorny problem.

Harosa is aloof and cold, while Guiyan is overtly ambitious; these two coming together...

But on second thought, Harosa's strength was enough to suppress everything, and Guiyan did have unique skills in investigation. This trip might really complement each other.

They were all top figures cultivated by the Spirit Pagoda at great expense, the greatest contributors to the Spirit Pagoda, and while some had rather peculiar personalities, they remained exceptionally loyal to the Spirit Pagoda. After all, without the Spirit Pagoda, they wouldn't exist; they would have been forced to become evil spirit masters, hated by everyone.

Well, they're all old folks, so we can only let them be.

"Meeting adjourned. All departments shall proceed according to the plan and closely monitor the movements of all parties." Qian Gu Dongfeng waved his hand to give the order, ending the meeting.

The high-ranking officials quickly got up and left, leaving only Qian Gu Dongfeng and Leng Yaozhu, who was about to leave, in the huge council hall.

“Deputy Tower Master Leng.” Qian Gu Dongfeng stepped forward quickly, his voice deliberately softened, filled with undisguised concern, “Regarding Yu Lai… please take good care of yourself. His Majesty the Underworld King is personally involved; he will surely find Yu Lai. I will inform you immediately of any news.”

He walked ten steps behind Leng Yaozhu.

His gaze was uncontrollably drawn to Leng Yaozhu's well-tailored cheongsam, which accentuated the curves of her back.

Her slender waist, which could be encircled by one hand, suddenly blossomed into a stunningly full and rounded curve as she walked, swaying slightly and exuding a fatal allure of a mature woman.

Just looking at her back, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt an indescribable heat and longing welling up in his heart, as if just being able to get one more step closer to her and smell the cool fragrance in her hair would be the ultimate enjoyment.

However, Leng Yaozhu did not pause at all. Just as Qian Gu Dongfeng approached, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, she moved with extreme naturalness and a coldness that kept people at a distance. She gracefully glided a step to the side and precisely widened the distance.

She turned slightly to the side, her stunningly beautiful face, capable of eclipsing the sun and moon, was expressionless, exuding only an icy chill that kept people at a distance.

"Thank you for your concern, Tower Master." Leng Yaozhu said coldly, "Yu Lai is my sister, and I know my place. Tower Master is busy with affairs and need not be distracted by me."

After saying that, she didn't even give Qian Gu Dongfeng a chance to speak again, and immediately turned and left.

The hem of her cheongsam curved in an arc, enveloping her alluringly shapely buttocks, before she quickly disappeared from Qian Gu Dong Feng's sight.

The ancient east wind stood frozen in place, its outstretched hand awkwardly hanging in mid-air, only to bump its nose with invisible shards of ice.

"..."

Qian Gu Dongfeng stared at the empty doorway, his eyes filled with complex emotions—anger at being rejected, and disappointment at not getting what he wanted.

"Forget it, go back."

Being the master of a Spirit Pagoda is no easy task.

Qian Gu Dongfeng returned to his workstation, grumbling and cursing.

Those who fawn over others will never have a good end; they'll end up with nothing.

……

On the outskirts of Maple Leaf City, an unnamed hotel.

In the dimly lit room, under the thick quilt, Leng Yulai's long eyelashes trembled violently a few times.

"Uh……"

A suppressed groan of pain escaped from her pale lips.

Consciousness, like a fragment sunk to the bottom of a cold sea, struggles to rise.

The biting cold and the tearing sensation from the depths of her soul instantly brought her to her senses.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils initially unfocused and confused, then quickly focused as she warily scanned the unfamiliar ceiling and the simple room.

"Where is this place?"
