Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"Haha, good, good. They say an elder sister is like a mother. Your mother passed away early, so as the elder sister, you should teach Muxue more..."

"Yes, Father..."

"..."

……

Shrek City.

Ma Xiaotao walked into a restaurant.

"How is it, Sister Tao?" Wang Dong asked Xiao Xiao anxiously.

"We've lost contact with Teacher Wang Yan. He only said that he received an award and went to the Sea God Pavilion to borrow books, but that's all we know," Ma Xiaotao said, sitting down with a frustrated expression.

“This…” Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, both seeing the other’s shock.

Before returning, Teacher Wang Yan declared that she would report Elder Xuan, but everyone knew the danger involved. After all, the other party was the strongest in Shrek Academy, and they wouldn't be surprised if he died somewhere inexplicably.

And how things unfolded seemed to confirm this conjecture.

Wang Yan received a reward and spent a month in the Sea God Pavilion's collection of books = Wang Yan disappeared!

"Sister Xiaotao, are you sure you watched Teacher Wang Yan enter the Sea God Pavilion?" Wang Dong rested his chin on his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

“This… I’m not sure. When we got close to the academy, Teacher Wang Yan left with Elder Xuan, saying they were going to the Sea God Pavilion. I wanted to go with them, but Elder Xuan stopped me, saying we should rest and recuperate…” Ma Xiaotao was speaking when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be?"

"It seems there's only one truth..." Detective Wang Dong appeared, his small face tense and serious.

"Teacher Wang...is already dead?" Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with horror. She hurriedly covered her mouth and looked around.

After all, with Elder Xuan's strength, killing a Soul Emperor would be a piece of cake...

But what terrifies them even more is that they don't even know what's going on with the Sea God Pavilion, whether any of the other elders have been brainwashed, or... whether the entire Sea God Pavilion has run into trouble.

“Death might not be the case,” Wang Dong analyzed cautiously. “After all, Professor Wang Yan is, after all, a teacher from the Department of Foreign Languages, and he just finished leading a team. His position is sensitive, but it’s not impossible to forcibly control Professor Wang Yan in other ways.”

"Sister Xiaotao, I don't know much about evil spirit masters, but as an inner court disciple and a member of the Shrek Academy's monitoring team, you often deal with evil spirit masters and should be familiar with their methods. I would like to ask if they have anything that can bewitch people and control their minds."

“Yes, not only do they exist, but there are many…” Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and said.

"Xu Cheng's blood-red eyes are a type of illusion. Although I don't know how strong the former's illusion is, such as controlling time, or the limitations of the controlled person's strength, I can imagine that with his Soul King strength, he can briefly control a Title Douluo. And the Holy Spirit Cult has quite a few illusion masters."

"This is just a martial spirit. The Holy Spirit Cult also has many drugs that control people's minds. In many of the evil spirit master dens we've raided, there were quite a few people who seemed to have lost their souls, forcibly controlled and hallucinated by them with drugs..."

"..."

Then there was a moment of silence.

Even Ma Xiaotao felt a sense of powerlessness.

They sensed a massive conspiracy, but the person opposite them stood in the sunlight—a righteous big boss—while they were just small fry. This huge disparity was devastating.

"Oh, what a coincidence, the three of you are here too?"

A voice sounded.

The three of them looked up, a stiff expression flashing across their faces.

"Hello, Teacher Wang Yan..." Wang Dong swallowed quietly and spoke first.

"Haha, since that's the case, I won't bother you any longer. Cherish this wonderful dinner time..." Wang Yan said with a smile.

The midday sun shines down.

This makes her appear even more gentle and kind.

But in the eyes of Wang Dong and others, this was tantamount to confirming their conjecture.

As Wang Yan left.

Ma Xiaotao pursed her red lips: "Don't you guys feel that Teacher Wang Yan seems like a completely different person...?"

Wang Dong spoke with difficulty: "It seems... we guessed right. Think about how Teacher Wang Yan was before he came. He was determined to report Elder Xuan, filled with fear and dread. But in just one month, he has forgotten all about it. After all, he should have told us what happened at the Sea God Pavilion, regardless of the outcome..."

the other side.

Wang Yan paused, then touched his head.

Having just left the Sea God Pavilion, he felt incredibly fortunate to have absorbed so much knowledge over the past month; he was practically floating on air and had long forgotten about what had happened before.

"Hiss... I seem to have forgotten to explain? Oh well, I'll talk about it next time we meet. How could Elder Xuan be a traitor? Thinking about it now, that guess is really laughable. I bet those little brats are laughing at me, hahaha..."

Chapter 130 The Holy Spirit Cult's Scheme, Xiao Xiao: We're doomed! They're after me!

"Hehehehe, what a wonderful evil fire, it's truly captivating..."

A corner of the restaurant.

The four men, all shrouded in black robes, Zhongli Wu, who sat there all day with a cup of coffee, along with his three direct subordinates, the Zhongli (Heaven, Earth, and Man) brothers, all leered at Wang Dong and his two companions.

"Hey, if you don't have money, don't come to Shrek City. You sit here all day for the cheapest cup of coffee! And the four of you are taking turns drinking it." The waiter gave the four of them a disdainful look.

"I have no money? I..." Zhongliren glared, ready to prove himself.

These three brothers have been committing murder and robbery for years, traveling all over the country, making a living by stealing corpses, so how could they possibly be short of money?

They were just doing it to keep watch, ordering a coffee as a token gesture to reserve a seat, who would have thought that this would cause them trouble?

“…” Zhongli Wu glanced helplessly at the three of them.

They're family, after all.

That's why he left the rest of the Holy Spirit Cult's powerful members outside the city, only taking three people into the city with him.

But... isn't that a bit unreliable?

The waiter gave the three of them another disdainful look before leisurely leaving.

Zhongli Wu shook his head, took a small sip of coffee, and continued to gaze at Ma Xiaotao, his expression somewhat intoxicated. He had always been dedicated to developing the Holy Spirit Cult and cherished exceptionally talented geniuses, except, of course, for that kid…

His expression was somewhat gloomy.

They thought he was an easy target, which is why they chose him to become the Holy Spirit's Son.

But as time went on, he found that the kid was becoming increasingly uncontrollable...

In this major competition, apart from illusions, he was unaware of the other hidden cards revealed, especially the last mecha, which could unleash combat power comparable to a level 98 Super Douluo.

And the entire Sun Moon Empire gradually came into his hands.

In other words, Xu Cheng is now qualified to go toe-to-toe with him...

Therefore, he still prefers obedient children.

"Master, should we make a move?" Zhong Litian asked softly. "Shrek Academy is full of powerful experts. If we are discovered, we may face considerable trouble."

“Yes, you said it yourself, there are many powerful figures…” Zhongli Wu said calmly, turning his gaze to the doorway, “Look, one has arrived. Let’s retreat first and wait for the right opportunity…”

……

"Oh, there are the three of you here."

Xuanzi glanced suspiciously at the corner of the restaurant, where there was nothing but a steaming cup of coffee.

It seems to have the aura of an evil spirit master?

Could it be that I'm imagining things...?

Never mind, let's get down to business first.

"Master Xuan?!?" Xiao Xiao was so frightened that she couldn't even speak properly.

"Hey, why are you so excited!" Xuanzi was secretly delighted. Although he often made mistakes while leading the team, the students' passion for him was truly remarkable. Look at them, they were so excited they couldn't even speak.

"Elder Xuan, why did you come to see us..." Ma Xiaotao's expression remained unchanged. She had known Elder Xuan the longest, and her tone was the calmest.

“Well then, since I’m idle anyway, why don’t I take on a disciple? It just so happens that Xiao Xiao doesn’t have a master, right? Would you like to recognize me as your master?” Xuan Zi took a swig of wine and smiled.

"Sorry, outside drinks are not allowed in this restaurant," the waiter said expressionlessly as he approached.

"I... alright." Xuanzi put away his wine gourd, waved his hand in confusion, and didn't get angry in order to make a good impression on his disciple.

“Wang Dong comes from the Haotian Sect, a place teeming with experts. He probably doesn’t need me as his master. Xiao Tao, you already have a master. Only Xiao Xiao, with your twin martial souls, though still weak, possesses exceptional talent and will inherit my mantle in the future…”

Xuanzi said with a smile.

Xiao Xiao's face was pale. She didn't hear a word Xuan Zi said; her mind was filled with thoughts like, "Join my Holy Spirit Cult! I guarantee you'll become a future Holy Maiden, hahaha! What a load of crap, Shrek Academy! Follow my Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder and you'll live the high life..."

"Elder Xuan, could you let Xiao Xiao think about it?" Wang Dong coughed lightly twice and gave a wink.

Ma Xiaotao immediately understood and chuckled, "Elder Xuan, it's probably not something that can be resolved in a few words for someone of your status to take on a disciple. Let this young lady think about it."

"This... alright." Xuanzi scratched his head, wondering why this wasn't quite what he had expected.

Shouldn't it be the young girl who is moved to tears and prostrates herself in worship?

"It's over! He came for me! Wang Dong, Sister Xiao Tao, help!" As soon as Elder Xuan left, Xiao Xiao could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face as she looked at the two of them through her teary eyes.

"I don't want to be brainwashed! Waaaaaah~"

"It's alright, Xiao Xiao, don't panic. Summer vacation is coming soon. We'll go to the Haotian Sect. With my uncles there, I don't believe he'll dare to cause trouble! After summer vacation, we can go on an exchange trip to the Sun Moon Empire. He won't be able to catch us then," Wang Dong comforted her softly.

"What if he makes a move halfway through?" Xiao Xiao sobbed.
