Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 302 Tang Wuling: I want to be an undercover agent!
Holy Spirit Cult, base.

The dimly lit hall reeked of blood. An old man with a withered face was hunched over, watching the performance below with great interest.

A man crawled on all fours, like a spineless reptile, struggling to move on the cold ground.

His eyes were unfocused, and a hoarse, leaking sound came from his throat; his life was slipping away rapidly with each spasm.

"Hehehe... That's it, a little more hatred, a little more resentment..."

The Dark Blood Demon took a deep, ecstatic breath, as if savoring a fine vintage wine.

The resentment, fear, and despair that erupted in the man before his death transformed into wisps of visible gray-black energy, which he greedily inhaled into his body.

A twisted, satisfied smile appeared on the old man's face, as if this was not a killing, but a refined artistic enjoyment.

Dozens of corpses lay scattered around him, and this was merely his dessert after a meal.

Click!

A clear, crisp sound rang out in the deep, dark hall.

The Dark Blood Demon, who was eating, looked towards the door with some displeasure. Who was it that had bothered him again?

His gloomy eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his sleeve, a streak of bloody light shot out, crashing towards the two figures at the door.

Wherever the blood-red light passed, the ground was corroded, emitting hissing white smoke.

"presumptuous!"

A crisp, delicate shout rang out.

At the same time, the bell rang out of nowhere, and the blood-red light melted away like ice and snow, turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating.

The Dark Blood Demon's pupils contracted slightly, and then, as if by magic, his withered and sickly face blossomed into a radiant smile.

"Dark Bell, what a rare guest!"

The Dark Blood Demon charged forward with enthusiasm, as if the fatal blow from before was merely a friendly greeting.

"You dare to disrespect the Holy Son? You are already courting death!"

Nanali squinted, her battle armor faintly visible, radiating a chilling aura.

This dark blood demon was already addicted to killing, and its rationality existed only in its fear of the stronger.

If you show weakness to him, he will become like a hyena that smells blood, taking advantage of your vulnerability.

When the Ghost Emperor took the Dark Blood Demon from Ya Li's hands, it took him a lot of effort to tame it.

"Heh... It's been years, and you've reached your limit too?"

The Dark Blood Demon chuckled dryly, his gaze lingering on Nanali's battle armor for a moment, a hint of greed appearing in his eyes.

Four-character battle armor... What a wonderful item! This is destined for me!

But his gaze quickly shifted to the side, where a man shrouded in black mist stood, obscuring his face.

"This... is the Holy Son?"

A glint flashed in the Dark Blood Demon's eyes, but his tone instantly became extremely respectful, and he even bowed slightly.

"I have long admired the Holy Son's name, and to meet him today, I am truly honored by his extraordinary bearing. The Demon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor, your insight is indeed remarkable..."

He had been in the Heavenly Spirit Continent for years, and this was the first time he had met this Holy Son.

However, the other party is highly valued by the Demon Emperor, and even the Ghost Emperor looks at him with new respect, so he is not someone he can provoke for the time being.

He was just bloodthirsty, not suicidal. Even if he was schizophrenic, he recognized the power of physical iron fist.

"No need to be polite!"

Jiang Yi waved his hand, signaling Nanali to withdraw her imposing aura.

He walked straight into the main hall, ignoring the corpses and the thick smell of blood at his feet.

"How's the progress on the mind-calming potion? The sect leader is already urging us..."

He had no time for pleasantries with the Dark Blood Demon and went straight to the point.

Within the Holy Spirit Church, everyone has different interests.

The Demon Emperor sought revenge, the Ghost and Underworld Emperors aimed to become gods, and Nanali and the others also had their own agendas.

This Dark Blood Demon, however, lives only for slaughter; he is a complete madman, utterly worthless and merely a useful tool.

"It's almost finished, just waiting for the Holy Son to personally inspect it..."

The Dark Blood Demon didn't care about Jiang Yi's attitude; his smile remained obsequious.

"lead the way."

……

Not long ago, in Lingbo City.

A disguised Tang Clan combat vehicle quietly drove into the Tang Clan branch, and a man and a woman got out of the vehicle.

"Welcome, both of you!"

A middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile and greeted the two of them.

His physique was not outstanding, his appearance was average, and even his clothing was very simple, with a touch of ancient style. "Master Li, you are too kind. I'm afraid we will have to rely on your assistance for this operation."

Liu Jingyun returned the greeting with a respectful bow, and then pointed to Tang Wuling beside him and introduced her.

"This is Tang Wuling, my junior sister. She has come here to rescue her missing relatives."

Jiang Yi and his companion were only Zang Xin's last disciples; they had several senior brothers above them, but most of them had already graduated.

This time, Tang Wuling came to find her parents, but Zang Xin couldn't spare the time, so he asked his senior brother Liu Jingyun to take care of her.

"Master Li!"

Tang Wuling bowed to Li Yunzhe.

"As the sect leader has ordered, I will do my utmost. Please come inside, gentlemen, and we can discuss the details further."

Li Yunzhe led the two into the inner room and personally poured tea.

The three sat down in the hall, where a detailed map of the Tianling Continent was hanging on the wall next to them, with several places marked.

"Based on our investigation and information from customs over the past few years, we can confirm that... nine years ago, the Spirit Pagoda sent a group of researchers from the Federation!"

Li Yunzhe distributed the investigation report to Tang Wuling and the other person.

"At the time, they came under the guise of researching spirits, but secretly they were buying large quantities of various medicinal herbs..."

As Tang Wuling listened to Li Yunzhe's introduction, she flipped through the documents in her hand, but her brows gradually furrowed.

After Zang Xin issued the investigation order, the Spirit Pagoda was placed under heavy surveillance on the Tianling Continent.

One of the Fighting Soul Hall disciples even mistakenly entered the Spirit Pagoda's underground research institute in Lingbo City and discovered the trapped researchers.

only……

"Evil Soul Master!"

Liu Jingyun slammed the documents on the table, his eyes blazing with anger.

"The Spirit Pagoda actually dared to collude with evil spirit masters. As expected, the teacher was right. The Spirit Pagoda was most likely involved in the attack on Shrek City!"

Shrek City suffered nearly ten million casualties, and countless families were shattered.

The Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect were once from the same school, how could they do such a heinous thing!
"But the Spirit Pagoda is well concealed, and Lingbo City is almost entirely under their control. We have no concrete evidence."

Li Yunzhe was equally indignant, but could only shake his head helplessly.

He also felt angry about the fall of Shrek Academy, as the Holy Spirit Douluo had given him a second chance.

The Spirit Pagoda was very cautious; although they knew the truth, they were helpless.

"However, we have already deployed a large number of fighters in Lingbo City. If nothing unexpected happens, we can completely take down this underground laboratory!"

Li Yunzhe suddenly pointed to several locations marked on the map, his face full of confidence.

"At that time, we will not only be able to rescue these researchers, but also obtain evidence of the Spirit Pagoda's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult!"

They were acting with a calculated mind, and the Spirit Pagoda had not yet discovered their actions. However, they had to act quickly, otherwise, once the Spirit Pagoda became aware of them, things would inevitably change.

"Master Li is indeed very thoughtful!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyun's spirits lifted.

As expected of a Tang Clan elder who can guard a region in the Tianling Continent.

However, Tang Wuling frowned and suddenly spoke up.

"No! That would be too risky!"

The two looked at her.

"If the Spirit Pagoda truly colluded with evil spirit masters, they would never have ignored the possibility of the laboratory being exposed..."

Li Yunzhe's expression changed slightly, and Liu Jingyun also frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

"Kill him to silence him, so there's no way to prove it!"

Liu Jingyun said in a deep voice.

If that's the case, even if we capture the laboratory, we might only find a pile of corpses and ruins.

The Spirit Pagoda is no smaller than the Tang Sect. Without solid evidence, it will probably just turn into a war of words between the two sides.

A brief silence fell over the room.

After a moment, Tang Wuling took a deep breath and glanced at Li Yunzhe and Liu Jingyun.

"I have an idea..."

"We can send someone infiltrate first to find out the situation, while secretly protecting the researchers' safety, and then coordinate an attack from the inside!"

She paused, met their gazes, and patted her chest, volunteering.

"I'm the most suitable candidate. Let me be the undercover agent."

　My leave request failed; I'm a bit stuck on something.
