Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 75 Demon Forest, Holy Spirit Headquarters

A few days later, Ye Xishui led everyone to the outskirts of a forest.

The forest before them ranged in color from dark green to pitch black, a unique characteristic found only in this forest across the entire continent. This forest was called the Demon Forest.

The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult is located here.

"This forest is called the Demon Forest. Although it can't compare to the Starry Sky Forest, it's still considered the most dangerous place in the Sun and Moon Empire," Ye Xishui said. "I wonder if the Ice and Snow Emperors have ever been here."

"No." Xue Di shook her head slightly. "Most of the soul beasts in the far north are law-abiding and won't provoke trouble. My sister and I have only heard of this second most ferocious beast in the world."

Ye Xishui nodded: "Our Holy Spirit Cult has an agreement with the Evil Eye Tyrant Clan, which is why we were able to establish our headquarters here. Even the transcendent forces on the continent are unaware of this."

"The Evil Lord would agree to you setting up your headquarters here?" Hyotei said, somewhat incredulously.

"This agreement has been maintained for many, many years, and we have always been based here. Otherwise, where do you think those soul beasts used for research came from? Most of them are enemies of the Evil Eye Clan or something like that," Ye Xishui said. "They gave us their territory, so naturally we will reciprocate by helping them solve some problems."

Hyotei frowned: "Sister Xue'er, I remember you saying that this Evil Lord seems to be asleep?"

"Yes, he went to the Star Dou Great Forest a thousand years ago, probably to try and seize that giant worm. After all, in a sense, if the Evil Lord absorbed that giant worm, it would probably allow him to undergo a perfect evolution. In the end, he was defeated by Di Tian and escaped back," said Xue Di. "I heard this story from one of my subordinates, a 100,000-year-old Icefield Soul Beast, after he returned from traveling across the continent."

"That giant bug! What a lucky break for those guys in Xingdou!" Ice Emperor remembered, "It seems that this was what spurred you on, and then you decided to go into seclusion to break through your bottleneck, but I never expected that your choice would be to transform into human form."

"Because I know I can't break through," Xue Di shook her head.

The Snow Empress did not tell the Ice Empress that the giant insect had become Huo Yuhao's spirit ring. In her view, this was a disgrace to the far north.

Qian Renxue glanced at the two of them: "Yeah, yeah, if that big worm were more obedient, it would be so much better if it offered itself to the Snow Emperor."

Hyotei retorted angrily, "Who says otherwise!"

"The big worm you're talking about, is it an ice silkworm?" Ye Xishui suddenly asked.

"Teacher, do you know about it?" Qian Renxue asked.

Ye Xishui nodded: "Both Elder Long and I have been to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain our ninth soul rings. My ninth ring was obtained from a 150,000-year-old evil-attribute soul beast there, named Blood Demon Lord. Before he died, he stammered that when he finished absorbing the Ice Silkworm, your human world would suffer a catastrophic disaster."

"Then it's probably going to be disappointed," Qian Renxue said calmly. "That ice silkworm has already run away."

Xue Di was taken aback, but then shrugged. It was fine for Qian Renxue to say what she couldn't say herself.

"They ran away?" Ye Xishui asked with interest.

"Just over a month ago..." Qian Renxue said simply.

"This..." Ye Xishui didn't know what to say. Such a great opportunity hadn't fallen to Xiaoxue!

"So what if someone else sucks my blood?" Qian Renxue didn't seem to care much. "If that brat doesn't behave, just kill him."

"That brat has now joined Shrek Academy, so he probably won't receive any special attention for the time being," Long Xiaoyao said cheerfully. "As long as he's not an idiot, he won't reveal the secret of his first spirit ring. I know Shrek Academy well; they rely on thesis defenses to train their students."

"Relying on the thesis defense? Not on real combat?" Hyotei asked calmly.

Qian Renxue paused for a moment: "Hyotei, your sense of humor is still lacking."

Snow Empress patted Ice Empress on the shoulder, let out a long sigh, and wanted to explain.

Then Shen Yuanyi grabbed her: "Sister Xuedi, do you know what's funnier than telling jokes?" "What?" Xuedi asked curiously.

"It's about trying to explain this joke."

The group chatted casually, and without realizing it, Hyotei gradually began to integrate into the group, because she could also sense that these people were indeed very interesting.

Just like Xue Di, once they truly begin to integrate into human society, the soul beasts are like children, like blank sheets of paper, and the people around them will greatly influence their subsequent changes.

"Hey, stop hiding, come out." Ye Xishui suddenly called out softly.

As she called out, a strange-looking soul beast appeared before them. Its main body consisted of only one eye, and countless tentacles coiled around it... It looked like some kind of bizarre creature.

"Xiao Xie, how have you been lately?" Ye Xishui asked.

"You're back. Everything's normal here. Did you bring me a present?" A slightly childish voice appeared directly in everyone's minds.

"Of course." Ye Xishui took out a spirit herb from her storage soul tool and handed it to it. "Help us open a door."

"Okay." The eye narrowed, and it extended a tentacle to take the spirit herb, looking somewhat happy... although such a happy appearance would seem more like some kind of torture to others.

The soul beast, which Ye Xishui called Little Evil, emitted a faint light. Then, something resembling a door slowly appeared on the mountain in front of everyone.

"Go have fun, thank you for your hard work." Ye Xishui nodded, and then led everyone through the door.

"That must be the Evil Eye Tyrant clan, right?" Qian Renxue asked in a low voice.

"Yes, it is a descendant of the Evil Eye Tyrant, or more accurately, a third-generation grandson. Although it only has ten thousand years of cultivation, its spiritual power is strong, so it can communicate with us directly on a spiritual level," Ye Xishui said. "It is not inherently evil, so I asked it to help guard this side door and erase any traces of it here using its spiritual power. It would be difficult for ordinary soul masters or soul beasts to discover the secrets of this place when they pass by."

They pushed open the door and went inside.

They came here primarily because several of them had joined the Holy Spirit Cult, and they needed to be told the location of the headquarters.

Secondly, it's because of the mysterious methods of ascending and gathering spirits; we need to show them the current research results.

Within Qian Renxue's spiritual sea, the little devil glanced curiously at the gray bead.

Because of that little evil aura just now, this gray bead seemed to... move slightly.

This is a little Easter egg, because on the Holy Demon Continent in the story of Throne of Gods, there is also a magical beast called "Evil Eye Tyrant". So when he sensed a trace of this soul beast's aura, Electrox felt a slightly familiar feeling.

The following is the author's rambling:

The Evil Eye Tyrant Beasts on the Holy Demon Continent are probably not as powerful as the Douluo Continent II species, because the Holy Demon Continent's strength is crushed by the Douluo Continent.

Why?

In "The Legend of the Throne: God of Heavenly Guardians," Tang Ling, a demigod with an innate spiritual power of 120 and a spatial divine body, who initially appeared as a million-power demigod, was reincarnated in Douluo Continent after his fall and became a freshman at Shrek Academy.

In the end, Zhou Yi fired him because he didn't run a hundred laps.

The above evidence comes from the Baidu Encyclopedia entry for Tang Ling.
