Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 244 Kidnapping Yuanen Yehui, the Arrival of the Yuanen Family!

"Ahem..." Jiang Xiu sensed something was amiss, so he changed the subject, asking, "How is the Holy Spirit Cult's setup in Shrek City going?"

Jiang Xiu was asking about the progress of the Holy Spirit Cult's plan to send Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to "take flight".

"It's still the same as before. The secret base is all set up now, all that's missing are those two level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells." Dark Bell replied with some regret when Jiang Xiu didn't respond.

Immediately afterward, Dark Bell seemed to remember something and added, "However, the few level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that the sect purchased from the Tang Sect have already been placed in Shrek City."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu paused slightly, surprised that the large order that Tang Sect had received was actually from the Holy Spirit Sect.

But it makes sense, considering that the Tang Clan, as an arms dealer that operates across the entire continent, is undoubtedly the biggest seller of arms, and everything they do is for money.

When the Holy Spirit Cult bombed Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, in addition to the two God-Slaying Fixed-Motion Soul Guidance Cannonballs, they also used several Level 9 Fixed-Motion Soul Guidance Cannonballs as an auxiliary weapon. Therefore, it is normal for them to create a false identity and purchase cannonballs from Tang Sect.

Even the Tang Clan probably didn't expect that they also played a part in destroying their own headquarters.

"By the way, a major incident has occurred within the sect these past few days. That is, the 'young master' has secretly run away from the sect again, but the Demon Emperor has not arranged for anyone to pursue him."

After a few casual words, Dark Bell told Jiang Xiu all the major events that had occurred within the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Young Master?" Jiang Xiu murmured, instantly realizing that the true identity of this Young Master was probably the Demon Emperor's daughter.

When he and Na'er were traveling from Tiandou City to Tianhai City on the Soul Guide Ship, he had seen the Ant King from afar once, thanks to his ant king's investigative talent.

"Infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult carefully and be mindful of your safety." After learning about the Holy Spirit Cult's plan and a few other matters, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flickered, and he said softly:
"I will be going to the Star Luo Empire soon."

"Then I'll be waiting for you, little brother," Dark Bell giggled. "I'll definitely give you a warm welcome and let you experience the tenderness of my love."

"Come and help your cultivation, little brother. Remember to pass on your knowledge and skills!"

Hearing the giggles of the dark bell, Jiang Xiu hung up the communication soul tool and calmed himself down a bit.

That's really infuriating.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu prepared to go to the forging room to find Yuan En Ye Hui.

Only after Yuan Enhui obtains her second soul spirit can she continue cultivating and eventually reach the Soul King level.

Inside the girl's room, Dark Bell hung up the communication device with a smile in her eyes. Her fair legs continued to rise and fall, and her slender feet were slightly tense.

"Hehe, little brother, there's always a chance..."

Dark Bell's red lips curled slightly, and then she couldn't help but think of the little girl named Na'er.

"Never mind, sister is magnanimous. Monogamy is fine too." She shook her head slightly, and her dark bell-shaped red lips smiled again.

The room was filled with a more pleasant atmosphere.

……

"Hmph! Just you wait, this time I will definitely not let you return alive from the Star Luo Empire!"

Watching Jiang Xiu leave the Sea God Pavilion, Long Yeyue slowly withdrew her gaze, her eyes revealing a hint of certainty.

Yesterday, she spent a fortune to commission the largest Holy Spirit Cult to take action, determined to keep Jiang Xiu in the Star Luo Empire forever.

"To be on the safe side, I will go in person this time. I don't believe that person from the Body Sect will follow you forever."

Long Yeyue snorted coldly, then stepped into the space and headed towards Shrek Academy's treasure vault.

This time, she was acting in the best interests of Shrek Academy, so naturally, she couldn't pay for it herself.

Furthermore, she hadn't finished reading the secrets of the original body last time, and this time she wanted to comprehend them and see if she could create her own Nine Styles of Light and Darkness, just like Zhuoshi...

……

The Forging Hall.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The sounds of metal forging rose and fell in succession, sometimes crisp, sometimes dull.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, a piece of metal emitting a faint glow slowly took shape; it was clearly a piece of refined metal.

"Not bad, not bad, Yuanen, you have a real talent for forging." Jiang Xiu praised, looking at the finished metal.

Over the past period, Yuanen Yehui has already mastered the basic techniques of forging, and with the unique talent of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, she has even completed the hundredth forging and is beginning to attempt the thousandth. "Forging is not yet successful, and I still need to continue to work hard." Yuanen Yehui's pretty face was slightly flushed as she wiped the fine sweat from her cheeks with her delicate hand, and she said with firm eyes.

Looking at Yuanen Yehui, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he asked softly, "Yuanen, you should have reached the Soul Master level by now, right? Why don't you take a day off so you can fuse with your second Soul Spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enhui pursed her red lips tightly and shook her head slightly, saying, "It's alright. I'll learn forging first, and then pay back the money I owe Jiang..."

"A little money is nothing compared to improving one's cultivation level."

Jiang Xiu's expression turned serious. "I'm going to the Spirit Pagoda the day after tomorrow. Yuanen, why don't you come with me?"

“But…but…” Yuan Enhui hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Jiang, I haven’t saved enough money to buy a second soul spirit yet…”

But before Yuanen Yehui could finish speaking, Jiang Xiu's voice continued: "It's very simple. My Body Sect has a quota for obtaining soul spirits for free. You can come with me."

Upon hearing this, Yuan En Ye Hui's pretty face showed a hint of shock, and she repeatedly said, "How can this be? I am not a disciple of the Body Sect, how can I use this precious spot..."

"That's a pity, it seems like it's going to be wasted again," Jiang Xiu said regretfully.

Yuan Enhui asked, puzzled, "Jiang-kun, what does this mean? Why do you say it's a waste?"

"Our Body Sect and the Spirit Transmission Tower have an agreement that the number of soul spirits that can be obtained each year is limited. Once the time is over, it is considered a waste."

"Right now, it's just me and my senior brother at the Body Sect headquarters, but neither of us needs a Soul Spirit this year, so wouldn't this spot be wasted?" Jiang Xiu sighed.

The word "waste" had taken root in Yuanen Yehui's heart, leaving him in a dilemma for a moment.

She does need a second soul spirit; the longer it is delayed, the more it will waste her golden period of cultivation.

And this spot might go to waste.

But if she agrees, wouldn't she be indebted to Jiang Xiu again...?

She hasn't even finished paying off the money for forging the battle armor. If she owes Jiang Xiu more, how will she ever repay him...?

Seeing that Yuanen Yehui looked hesitant, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said directly, "Yuanen, if you feel bad about it, then just continue to assist me in forging."

"It's settled then. Take a good rest tomorrow, and we'll meet at the college gate the day after tomorrow."

Before Yuan Enhui could speak, Jiang Xiu made the decision without any room for argument.

Jiang Xiu knew very well that Yuan En Ye Hui's past experiences had already shaped his personality into one that was unwilling to owe others anything, making it difficult for Yuan En Ye Hui to make decisions on his own. At this time, he had to be a little tougher.

“Ah…” Yuan Enye Hui was slightly taken aback. Before she could say anything more, Jiang Xiu had already walked out of the forging room.

And a voice drifted from afar: "Remember to be on time."

"Hmm..." After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Enhui nodded slightly, but a hint of hesitation appeared on her cool and beautiful face.

Since her mother's death, she had never felt this kind of care from others, and suddenly, she felt somewhat at a loss.

She was never afraid of being alone; what she feared was that those who cared about her would suddenly disappear, just like her mother.

Over the years, she has been like a hedgehog, hiding herself among her quills and concealing herself with a cold exterior, yet deep down she yearns for a happiness that seems unattainable...

……

The next day.

Ontology.

"It's sunny again, time to keep training."

Aruheng walked out of the room, stretched, and headed towards the main gate of the Body Sect.

But the moment he opened the gate of the Body Sect, he was stunned. The streets on both sides were filled with people, and when they saw the Body Sect gate open, they all looked at Aruheng.

"Huh? Where did I end up here? Is this still outside my original sect?"

Aruheng closed the door, then opened it again, and found that it was not his imagination; the outside was still full of people, all of whom were Soul Masters.

"Has someone come to challenge us?"

Just as Aruheng was stunned, a low shout came from the crowd.

"Where is that blond brat who kidnapped my daughter?! Come out now!!!"
