Douluo Continent: Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons, Reincarnated as Ye Xishui at the Start

What puzzled Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling even more was the absurdity of the order itself.

They're the Holy Spirit Cult! The lair of all evil spirit masters across the continent!

It's somewhat understandable that the Supreme Elder wanted to find the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, which was cursed and had backfired on several masters. After all, it's quite professional for a powerful figure in their Holy Sect to collect such an evil item.

but……

Why waste so much manpower and resources searching the world for some 100,000-year-old ferocious beast with light or holy attributes?

Those righteous and noble spirit beasts are the natural nemesis of evil spirit masters.

Let alone trying to capture it, even just smelling that aura from afar would make these evil soul masters feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

"Sigh... never mind."

Zhongli Wu rubbed his throbbing temples with a pain in his head and sighed deeply. "Since it was Mother's personal order, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. We should just do as she says."

"Feng Ling, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is a hot potato. It's most likely still circulating in the black market or underground auction houses of our Sun Moon Empire. The first thing I need to do is have you personally lead a team to make that trip."

"As for the search for the 100,000-year-old ferocious beast with the divine attribute..." Zhongli Wu paused, "I will inform those old guys in the Elder Hall to send out all their spies and keep a close watch on the Star Dou Great Forest and the Jingyang Mountains."

Feng Ling hesitated for a moment, but still nodded obediently.

Although the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife had a notorious reputation and had taken away several of its owners in succession.

But then I thought, if it were a powerful figure like the Supreme Elder who could control it, he should be able to suppress that evil power, right?

"I understand, Master."

Feng Ling gave a soft reply and then slowly left the main hall.

As she turned around, a complex and melancholic look flashed in her eyes that she herself was unaware of.

As expected, by staying by Zhongli Wu's side, she gained a status and power second only to the emperor that were unattainable for ordinary people.

But... the pure joy I felt when I was with that bastard Yan Shaozhe is gone forever.

"Achoo!"

At the same moment that the image of a certain dean of the Martial Soul Department appeared in Feng Ling's mind, Zhongli Wu, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, sneezed loudly for no reason.

He rubbed his nose, feeling a strange chill on the top of his head. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, or that someone was plotting against him.

"That shouldn't be the case..."

Zhongli Wu muttered to himself, his face full of confusion, "I am now a level 98 Super Douluo, and besides, the Holy Sect has Mother and Uncle Long personally overseeing things. What danger on the Douluo Continent could possibly threaten me?"

"I guess I've been overworking myself lately and overthinking things."

Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhongli Wu simply stopped dwelling on it.

Compared to these vague intuitions, what matters most to him right now, and what directly affects his interests, is the matter at hand.

Although Zhongli Wu had basically refined the remains of the Bone Dragon King that he had unearthed a few years ago from an ancient dragon clan site, he still felt it wasn't enough.

He had a feeling...

If he can perfectly refine this remains into his own natal beast spirit, his strength will surely experience a qualitative leap.

According to the ancient records remaining in the ruins, this skull dragon king truly received a personal blessing from the legendary silver dragon king during his lifetime.

This is why it was able to maintain its dragon soul even after death, not only retaining its pure primordial power but also naturally controlling the wind and fire elements.

Once he completely masters the Skull Dragon King, breaking through the barrier of Super Douluo and entering the realm of limits will only be a matter of time for Zhongli Wu!

......

The scene shifts, and the focus returns to Ye Xishui.

She didn't rush to sacrifice her first soul ring to extract the power of a powerful figure from ten thousand years ago for her own use.

Although the system was very tempting, she had to maintain her peak condition until the exact time and detailed plans were confirmed.

For her now, every level of soul power and every soul ring is the foundation for her survival in this game of chess against the God King, and she cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

"call--

Let's play it safe for now.

Ye Xishui took a deep breath to calm the agitation within her, then turned and walked back towards the Hall of Offerings.

Inside the Hall of Offerings, Zhang Peng and Wuyun Douluo, who were originally discussing religious affairs in hushed tones, twitched at the corners of their eyes when they saw Ye Xishui's red figure return. They then slipped out again without hesitation.

Inside the hall, only Long Xiaoyao remained, his face filled with concern.

"Xiaoyao, I need you to go out and do something for me."

Ye Xishui looked directly into Long Xiaoyao's deep eyes and got straight to the point.

"Find a girl named Ye Guyi."

Ye Xishui paused, her tone becoming more serious, "Her martial soul is a downgraded version of the angel god's martial soul from ten thousand years ago—the Holy Angel! That girl should be around thirteen years old now, with a cultivation level around Soul Venerable."

"A holy angel?!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao's heart stirred with emotion.

Having been with the Holy Spirit Cult for so long, he knew all too well what this kind of martial spirit meant.

That's the nemesis of evil spirit masters!

If an angelic martial soul possessor who has not yet fully matured falls into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, their fate is predictable!

"Xi Shui...this..."

Long Xiaoyao instinctively wanted to speak up and offer advice.

Although he was willing to bear the name of an evil soul master for Ye Xishui, the pride of the Dragon Emperor Douluo deep in his heart still made him unable to bear seeing a child with exceptional talent being tormented in this way.

However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Xishui interrupted him.

"Xiaoyao, look what this is."

The moment the words fell, the viscous, lifeless evil aura on Ye Xishui's body instantly melted away like ice and snow, replaced by an extremely pure, even compassionate, holy aura of light!

Phew——!

With a high-pitched phoenix cry, a pair of magnificent wings, shimmering with golden light, suddenly unfurled from behind Ye Xishui.

At that moment, the originally alluring and wicked Death God Douluo, under the backdrop of the golden light, appeared so holy that Long Xiaoyao was momentarily mesmerized.

"As you can see, Xiaoyao, I am a twin martial soul."

Ye Xishui dimmed her light, "I used to suffer from the clash between the soul powers of my two martial souls, but now I have found an opportunity to completely resolve this hidden danger."

"There are some things I will tell you all about after you bring that girl back."

"Don't worry, I'm not looking for her to kill her. On the contrary, I want to train her myself."

Seeing that even in darkness, his beloved still held onto that yearning for light, what reason did Long Xiaoyao have to refuse?

"Xi Shui, wait for my good news."

Long Xiaoyao nodded solemnly, his black dragon-patterned robe fluttering even without wind. "Even if I have to turn the entire Douluo Continent upside down, I will bring that angelic girl to you unharmed!"
