Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 347 The Fear of Feng Zaixing, the Reason for Killing the Demon Emperor, and the Flexible Military Minister

When Yuanen Yehui and Na'er returned to the outskirts of the far north with the earthenware jar containing the Ghost Emperor's ashes, they saw the Demon Emperor's remains being frozen and sealed, and transported to another place.

A strange soul bone, exuding an eerie aura and shrouded in purple light, floated in front of Feng Zaixing, his eyes filled with disdain.

"This evil aura is so strong that any proper Soul Master who dares to absorb it would probably die with their brains splattered."

After muttering something under his breath, Feng Zaixing tossed the thing to Lan Fuzi, who was craning his neck and staring longingly at it for a long time.

"Stop looking, this is for you. Don't you deep-sea demon whales all like to hide your souls in soul bones?"

Feng Zaixing secretly transmitted his voice: "I will leave the Demon Emperor's soul until the end of this operation. Once we return to Mingdu, I will destroy her demonic soul. You will have a few days to say goodbye to her."

Lan Fuzi raised her head, blinked her big, bright eyes, and said with a pained expression, "Boss, can't you give me a little more time?"

Feng Zaixing said calmly, "If you have any things to say after your death, a few words will suffice. How about I shorten it for you?"

"Actually, judging from the way you two talk, I feel that the relationship between you and your mother doesn't seem very deep. Of course, what I mean is that your mother is showing some signs of becoming estranged from her family."

He pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Hmm—if you contact her now, I think she'll blame everything on you; I deeply sympathize with your father being killed by Tang San while he was sleeping peacefully at home, and I also understand her drastic change in personality after experiencing such a tragedy."

"If she hadn't joined the Holy Spirit Cult and attacked the humans of our Federation, I would have been happy to have another friend. If she had only killed sea spirit beasts, I wouldn't have bothered to meddle or say anything. But she joined the Holy Spirit Cult and even attacked the East China Sea Fleet, so there's no solution."

"If I spared her life out of pity for your tragic fate, what about the lives of the East China Sea Fleet soldiers she killed? Those were tens of thousands of lives, not just cold, hard numbers."

At this point, Feng Zaixing's tone suddenly turned serious. He looked directly into Lan Fuzi's eyes and said sincerely, "When the three major naval legions were united, I personally went to the scene to see it."

"On the cracked ships, there are still faint traces of blood spilled by the soldiers who resisted the attack. Large pieces of bone fragments float in the icy seawater. Even with my abilities, I cannot collect them all, because many soldiers have already perished, their remains lost to the sea and the bellies of fish!"

"Strips of white silk, the three major naval forces all clad in mourning—this was no trivial tragedy, but a real attack; and the Holy Spirit Church has carried out far too many attacks like this—"

After a moment of silence, a look of fear and pain appeared in Feng Zaixing's eyes for the first time. He softened his tone and said solemnly, "During that time, I saw relatives of the fallen soldiers wailing everywhere in the army cemetery. Children asked everyone they met where their fathers were, wives asked officers for their husbands, mothers asked officers for their children, and many fainted from crying. There was no greater tragedy than this!"

"I have a high reputation in Tianhai City. The people know that I regard evil spirit masters as my enemies. When they see me, they kneel down and beg me to kill the culprit to avenge them and bring them justice. Tell me, how can I allow the Demon Emperor, this scourge of humanity, to remain in the world?"

"You think I'm omnipotent, don't you? Let me tell you, I'm afraid too! I'm afraid to see such tragedies again, afraid to hear such cries again. I even think I might never dare to set foot in Tianhai City again to see those people, even if I avenge them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Fuzi's expression froze. Yuan Enhui and Na'er, who were in the distance, also fell silent. They had not gone to the East Sea Legion with Feng Zaixing, but they knew that Feng Zaixing's face had been very ugly since he returned from the three legions, and his killing intent was stronger than ever before.

Today's battle is the largest purge of evil spirit masters in the Federation's history of thousands of years, and the root cause lies here.

Feng Zaixing wiped his eyes and continued speaking, his words now carrying a hint of solemnity: "I used to kill evil spirit masters for momentary pleasure. I was young then and only thought about having a good fight and gaining a good reputation. But why do people praise me so much? Because the Holy Spirit Cult is truly utterly wicked!"

Now tell me, if I, Feng, cannot utterly crush these scoundrels, how can I stand in the world in the name of the Holy Venerable? How can I face those people whose families have been torn apart?

"Many people say I have a bloodthirsty heart. So be it. I will sweep away all evil with my sword, and all sins will fall upon me. After I kill them, I will create a brand new world."

Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi pondered for a moment, rubbed her eyes and nose, her throat bobbing up and down, and then let out a long sigh: "Alright, alright, I understand your difficulties. I won't ask for too much. Let's leave it at that."

Feng Zaixing nodded slightly and said, "Perhaps we don't understand people's joys and sorrows, but this kind of thing involves a bottom line. Even if I didn't take action, the Federation would never tolerate them."

"I know the Holy Spirit Cult must have some plans in store. Think about them carefully and organize your thoughts."

Having said that, he fell silent and turned to walk towards Yuanen Yehui and Na'er.

The Demon Emperor's soul cannot possibly remain.

Moreover, since they needed to use Lan Fuzi, Feng Zaixing dared not let the Demon Emperor's soul linger for too long; otherwise, who knows what might happen if the longing continued.

Leaving Lan Fuzi behind to fish, and becoming the last leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, to lure potentially corrupted evil spirit masters into his trap—this was something he had planned long ago. Perhaps this operation would continue for a long time, so he would have to work on Lan Fuzi's psychology.

Fortunately, the little blue whale seems to be in a relatively normal mental state.

"Senior brother, the Ghost Emperor's ashes are here." Na'er handed over the earthenware jar, a hint of worry immediately appearing on her delicate and flawless face.

"Senior brother, these bastards committed the sins, and now they are all dead. You have wiped them out, which is enough to comfort the souls of those who died tragically."

Feng Zaixing gently shook his head and said, "It's not over yet. The Holy Spirit Cult has been rooted in the continent for over ten thousand years, and it must have many hidden plans for its downfall. Ten thousand years ago, their headquarters was destroyed by Spirit Ice Douluo, but didn't they rise again ten thousand years later?"

"These places may no longer have any high-level evil spirit masters, but there are probably still some small fry. They may have even left behind some high-level inheritances. We must do our best to eradicate these remnants as well."

"I cannot rest easy until they are destroyed. How can I calm my mind and continue my cultivation if my heart is uneasy? Destroy the Saints..."

Spiritualism is my long-cherished wish, and it's also the path I must take to reach my ultimate goal.

Ten thousand years ago, the Holy Spirit Cult's two Limit Douluo and its leaders, including the main and deputy leaders, perished one after another, and the headquarters of the Demon Forest was completely destroyed; it should have been finished long ago.

However, in this era, the Holy Spirit Cult has grown stronger and stronger, surpassing its strength in all aspects compared to 20,000 years ago. This makes one sigh that these evil soul masters are truly like weeds that keep growing back after being cut down at the root.

As his thoughts drifted to potential collaborators within the Holy Spirit Cult, Feng Zaixing couldn't help but think of a high-ranking official in the Federation, and he frowned slightly.

Just then, several black mechs suddenly swept in from the sky. Feng Zaixing looked up and saw that they came from the Northern Navy Legion.

A man with a long, sharp camera jumped out of the mecha first, took out a document, and respectfully presented it, saying, "Xu Yangzi, on the orders of the family head, wishes to hand over all the intelligence on the Holy Spirit Cult that my Xu family has collected over the years to Your Majesty in order to help you cleanse the evil spirits."

"Oh? Your family head is Xu Pojun?" Feng Zaixing raised his eyebrows. He had just been thinking about him, and Xu Pojun had already sent him information?

"That's right." Xu Yangzi maintained his sixty-degree bow and said respectfully, "The patriarch said that perhaps in the early years before His Majesty the Holy Venerable rose to power, he had some political disagreements with His Majesty regarding his attitude towards Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, but he always considered the Federation's interests and had no selfish motives whatsoever. Even if he used some special means, he would definitely have countermeasures in place and would never have harmed the Federation."

"These things are a testament to his unwavering loyalty to the Federation. The head of the family said that he is getting old and likes to think and calculate more. Now he is tired and is willing to step down and give way to a worthy successor, so he can enjoy his old age in peace and quiet."

Feng Zaixing's eyes flickered. Xu Pojun's unspoken meaning was that although he, Qian Gu Dongfeng, and the Holy Spirit Cult were secretly plotting to use a god-killing cannonball to blow up Shrek City and the Tang Sect headquarters, it was all a last resort for the sake of the Federation. Moreover, he had always remembered to find a handle on the Holy Spirit Cult and collect intelligence on them. Now he had given it all to him. He didn't ask for credit but only to offset his mistakes.

Now that I, Xu, am old, and you, Lord Feng, are young and vigorous, you might as well take over my position as well, so that I, an old man, can retire in peace.

If Feng Zaixing were to succeed him, it would be tantamount to accepting his "abdication," and he would naturally have to defend him verbally and not bring up past grievances.

No wonder he's qualified to be the Minister of the Army; his mind is far superior to Chen Xinjie's.

Feng Zaixing commented on this person, saying that his grasp of the wind direction was far superior to that of the fools in the Shen family, which explained why the Xu family had been able to remain standing all this time.

After a moment's thought, Feng Zaixing smiled and said, "Minister Xu is still vigorous despite his age. There's no reason for him to retire so early."

I'm not interested in his position; I'm more interested in anything related to the Holy Spirit Church.

Xu Yangzi immediately said, "Palace Master, please rest assured. In the past few days, the Patriarch has personally investigated and cleaned up his family. Anyone in the Xu family who has any connection with the Holy Spirit Sect has had their martial spirit destroyed and has been expelled from the family without any leniency! He truly doesn't want to deal with so many troublesome matters anymore."

"He also said that if the Palace Master was unwilling to take over the position of Minister of the Army, he would have no choice but to discuss it with Vice Minister Yu."

"As long as the Lord of the Palace needs it, the Western Legion and the Northwest Legion can actually cooperate with the Lord of the Palace's actions."

Xu Pojun's influence extends to the West, the Northwest Army Corps, and the Northern Navy Corps.

The commander of the Western Legion, Limit Douluo, is the nephew-in-law of the fierce wolf Dong Zi'an. The commander of the Western Legion is his disciple. The Shen family, which once controlled the Northern Navy Legion, is related by marriage. Most of the Xu family members serve in these three legions.

It can be said that as long as Xu Pojun is willing to cooperate, the Western and Northwest Legions will no longer have any conflicting actions.

Feng Zaixing smiled helplessly: "Your patriarch is really decisive. Fine, fine, then let him go and discuss it with Commander Yu. I think he likes to keep himself busy."

"As for the other two legions, I have no use for them. They just need to cooperate with our operation to eliminate the evil spirit masters."

Feng Zaixing thought to himself that if all family heads these days were as decisive, quick-witted, and flexible as Xu Pojun, then they would truly deserve to have their lineage lasted so long.

I took the document and opened it.

Feng Zaixing nodded slightly: "Forty-eight outposts, and the approximate directions of the two small spatial planes, Minister Xu is quite capable."

"Xiao Ye, notify Sister Yu in Mingdu that the FBI should immediately mobilize and, in conjunction with local federal armed forces, surround all the locations that can be cordoned off. This time, we will eradicate the remaining poison of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"it is good."
