Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 331: Leng Yulai's cultivation is crippled, she is imprisoned for life, an emergency military situation arises, and Aruheng reports bad news.

"You've always been incredibly insightful. Yes, I came here for Yu Lai."

Leng Yaozhu knew she couldn't hide it from the other party, so she sat down on a sofa and said bluntly, "Back then, I made an agreement with the director. If I could help the director capture Yu Lai and make her surrender, the director would show leniency and not kill her completely."

Feng Zaixing nodded slightly: "That is true, but now that I have captured her, whether she surrenders or not is of little significance to me."

"On our way back, my Uncle Han and I made her tell us everything that needed to be told."

According to her, the Ghost Emperor and the Demon Emperor have gone mad and are determined to cooperate with the Abyss Plane to take revenge on and slaughter humanity.

The Abyss Saint King seemed to have given them some kind of promise, making them wholeheartedly serve him.

"In addition, on our way back, we cleared out some remaining evil spirit masters at the locations she had instructed us to, but unfortunately we didn't catch any big fish."

Leng Yaozhu said with a bitter face, "Since Yu Lai is no longer a threat, I wonder if the director can let her go? I know she has committed grave sins, and I am willing to cripple her cultivation and prevent her from ever showing her face in public again."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing shook his head: "Even if you help me capture her, crippling her cultivation and imprisoning her for life are the most basic requirements. Otherwise, neither of us can explain ourselves to the world."

"Your Majesty, she has, after all, fallen into the realm of evil soul masters. Do you know how many people she has harmed in her pursuit of cultivation and slaughter? If you insist on protecting her, the consequences are unpredictable, and she will not remember your kindness."

"Perhaps you don't know, but Yali isn't the person she most wants to kill in her life; the person she most wants to kill is you. Don't you think that's unreasonable?"

At this point, Feng Zaixing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the people of the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult were truly destined for each other.

The patriarch of the Qian Gu family, Qian Gu Dongfeng, colluded with him, and the younger sister of the Phoenix family's patriarch directly became one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Evil Soul Masters. However, with her capture, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult will also become a thing of the past.

"I understand what you're saying, but she's still my sister. I can't just watch her die. If I had kept a closer eye on her back then, I don't think she would have ended up like this—"

Leng Yaozhu felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, her voice filled with bitterness, her face etched with regret and pain. She rose and bowed to Feng Zaixing, saying, "I beg the Director to show leniency. As her older sister, I am willing to repay tenfold for the sins Yu Lai has committed. The Phoenix Family will always support the Director's will and prevent the recurrence of evil soul masters on the continent."

Upon seeing this, Feng Zaixing frowned, stood up and stepped aside, then let out a soft sigh: "Your Majesty helped me when I first started cultivating, why do this now—alright, alright, I agree."

"Really? That's wonderful! Zaixing, don't worry, what I say always stands. The Phoenix Clan will take this as its ancestral precept and always follow your lineage—"

Leng Yaozhu raised her face with a joyful expression, her smile wide. She knew all too well how harsh Feng Zaixing's attitude was towards evil spirit masters; once caught, there was no reason to let them go.

It could be said that sparing Leng Yulai's life was close to violating his principles of conduct.

"Your Majesty, don't be too happy yet. There are two important points about this matter."

Faced with Leng Yaozhu's ecstatic joy and continued assurances, Feng Zaixing remained calm, extending two fingers and slowly saying, "The first thing is to ensure that your sister never appears in public again. I will announce to the world that she has been executed by me, and that she no longer exists in this world, nor can there ever be a Dark Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yulai. Otherwise, neither of us will be able to escape responsibility. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood." Seeing Feng Zaixing's seriousness, Leng Yaozhu dared not be negligent in the slightest and agreed repeatedly.

Seeing Leng Yaozhu's appearance, Feng Zaixing thought to himself that he would feel more at ease crippling his sister himself. Otherwise, if it were you, she might beg you a few times and you would let her go.

However, Leng Yulai is a demigod, so who would be more suitable to have this level of cultivation?

The first thing that flashed through Feng Zaixing's mind was Le Zhengyu's face. Then a few ideas came to him. Perhaps he could try to spread the trait of improving his cultivation by killing evil spirit masters.

"Director, what is the second point?" Seeing that Feng Zaixing seemed to be pondering, Leng Yaozhu was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Secondly—" Feng Zaixing snapped back to reality, his expression turning strange for a moment before he looked at the other man and said, "Your Phoenix Clan's direct line has died out, and the collateral branches have no talented individuals. You have no choice but to let Gu Yue inherit your resources and status in the Spirit Pagoda. If this continues, can the Phoenix Clan still exist?"

"If no top geniuses emerge in the third and fourth generations of the collateral branches, the Phoenix Clan will soon be overwhelmed by the Spirit Pagoda Clan and will find it difficult to maintain its current transcendent status."

"Oh, this—"

Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment, never expecting that the other party was talking about this matter. Thinking about it, she realized that she was indeed very unqualified as the head of the family.

But the emergence of a genius is like opening a lottery box; can we blame her if a collateral branch doesn't produce a genius? It seems not.

As for their direct descendants—these sisters were trapped in the relationship with someone they could never have.

After thinking for a moment, Leng Yaozhu muttered to herself, "If the previous patriarch had had more children, I wouldn't be under so much pressure. I want to improve this situation, but I really don't know where to start."

Feng Zaixing looked at her silently and said, "Although it's not good to say it like this, from your sisters' perspective, if the previous generation of the family had more children, they might have been bewitched by Yun Ming again. If they all had the same personality as Leng Yulai, the Holy Spirit Cult would have needed to add a few more capable henchmen."

Leng Yaozhu looked extremely embarrassed; the other party was relentlessly pursuing her, and she was speechless.

"This is something I shouldn't be saying, but since Your Majesty mentioned needing the Phoenix Clan's continued support, I have to pay attention to your family's survival. After all, the Federation's technology is quite advanced in various aspects now, isn't it?"

Feng Zaixing looked somewhat uneasy and quickly saw the guest off, sending away this Phoenix Clan Head who had never been very competent.

Returning to the balcony to gaze at the night sky, Feng Zaixing suddenly realized that he had lost the interest in lamenting the passing years. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile and return to the spacious bed in the top-of-the-line Tianhai City.

Yu Xin smiled as she looked at the man beside her, her arms naturally wrapped around his strong body, her full breasts caressing and resting against him, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Our Aunt Leng is a very loyal and affectionate person, but unfortunately she's unlucky; her sister is a heartless wretch."

Yu Xin met Leng Yaozhu, a top female expert, when she was very young and once regarded her as her goal. Leng Yaozhu also took good care of Yu Xin because of her family background, and they had a very close relationship.

Over the years, although various events have shattered the filter of her feelings for Leng Yaozhu, they have maintained a close relationship.

"What kind of normal person can fall into evil soul master? Not to mention that Leng Yulai was already a Title Douluo when she fell into evil soul mastery. She was already an adult. Sometimes I find it hard to understand why the Sun Moon Federation couldn't offer a logic course to improve the character of soul masters."

"I know a little about why she fell into depravity, and I find it rather ridiculous."

Feng Zaixing wrapped his arms around Yu Xin, a cold smile playing on his lips, and sighed, "From what I know about evil soul masters, some of them fall into evil soul mastery due to their temperament, like Nanali, while others have martial souls that are only suited to evil cultivation methods, like the Underworld Emperor and the Dark Blood Demon."

"There's no need to mention the Ghost Emperor, a madman who loves killing. Finally, there's Leng Yulai, who, due to her extreme personality and personal experiences, actively chose to fall into darkness. Well, perhaps in their eyes, this isn't falling into darkness, but simply releasing their true nature to take revenge on the world."

He turned his head, his gentle gaze falling on Yu Xin's fair face, and slowly said, "In my opinion, the Ghost Emperor, a madman obsessed with killing and death, and Leng Yulai, an evil soul master who willingly fell into depravity, are the ones who deserve to die the most. In fact, if you weren't here today, I might not have agreed to let go."

"Then she should thank me, since she didn't do as we agreed and help you catch Leng Yulai earlier."

Yu Xin raised her long, graceful neck, shifted her body which had recovered somewhat, and sat up, saying, "Hmm—how about I help you negotiate with her again? After all, the Phoenix family has no heir, you can help her—"

The two resumed their battle, but before long Yu Xin was defeated. She trembled as she lay on the man's chest, her raised body falling back onto the bed. This was a case of having high fighting spirit but low combat strength.

Whether Feng Zaixing understood her implied meaning or not, he said with a dark expression, "I didn't hide anything from you about Gu Yue, so why do you seem to be stirring up trouble? How could you drag Leng Yaozhu into this?"

Since the misunderstanding about the Tree of Life, Gu Yue hid in a place unknown to outsiders for almost half a month before reappearing.

Since it would be awkward for them to meet, Feng Zaixing simply didn't go to see her. He just urged her to let Leng Yaozhu know that she was safe. Yu Xin, on the other hand, went to see Gu Yue once. It's unknown what the two women talked about.

But after returning, Yu Xin couldn't help but try to be strong on her own, and the result was always that she was too exhausted. Now she likes to cause trouble.

Well, all the responsibility lies with Gu Yue. Feng Zaixing is already thinking about whether to find an opportunity to punish him severely.

"How can this be called stirring up trouble? It's clearly about making Douluo Continent more lively," Yu Xin corrected.

Feng Zaixing's vision went black. "Why don't you just say let Douluo Continent burn down!"

During this time, she did not meet with outsiders, but Na'er kept in touch with others. Just from the communications, one could hear the boundless resentment in her voice. It was no surprise that the Silver Dragon King was causing trouble again and deserved to be taught a lesson.

Even during this time, Yuanen Yehui subtly hinted that she was willing to serve as her beloved master's hammer-wielding protector, guaranteeing that such heinous incidents would never happen again.

A blunder, with far-reaching and lasting consequences —

Just then, the doorbell rang again, a long, drawn-out ring: "Ding-ding~"

"Why is someone else here?"

Feng Zaixing frowned. "Are you trying to keep me from sleeping?"

Even though Feng Zaixing was quite well-mannered, he was speechless at this moment. It was the middle of the night and he couldn't even get some peace and quiet. He hoped that some demon might be causing trouble.

But when he opened the door, he found Aruheng standing there with a serious expression.

"Junior brother, the Northern Legion, which guards the northern and far north of the Federation, has sent a message to the Temple of War God, saying that they have discovered traces of a small-scale massacre by evil soul masters and asking us to send people to help investigate."

"Not long ago, a powerful abyssal tide broke out on the Blood God Legion's side. Although it was repelled, it came on strong. Teacher and Commander Zhang believe that there may be new developments in the abyssal plane."
