Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 128—Dear devotees, I don't want to give this money, but I still want the gifts. What do you think…

Finally, when all the commotion had completely subsided, everyone sat down quietly together at Feng Ling's prompting.

She stood up, coughed lightly a few times, looked at Qian Lingyun, and said softly, "Holy Maiden, everyone is here, we can begin." After speaking, Feng Ling slowly sat down and steered the conversation to Qian Lingyun.

"Eighth Elder, please release the information you obtained from those two guys. I will fill in any gaps."

"Oh, okay!" Mei Douluo nodded, took a step forward, and threw Lang Ya and Yu Tao into the middle of the group of Title Douluos, one in each hand.

"These two are the Soul Douluo of the Body Sect that the Sixth and Seventh Elders captured yesterday."

"After a whole night of hard work... no, I mean hard work, I've dug out almost everything I could." As Mei Douluo spoke, the playfulness and frivolity in her eyes were completely gone. Instead, she began to seriously recount the various pieces of information she had unearthed.

"They have two main purposes for coming here this time. First, they want to take the new talent that Shrek Academy has produced this time, a student with twin martial souls and a body martial soul! Their mission is to do everything possible to bring that student back to the Body Sect."

"So, our mission this time is actually to snatch people from the Body Sect and Shrek Academy?" The Soul Slayer Douluo tilted his head and glanced around at everyone present, then nodded and said, "I think so too. It would be a waste for so many Title Douluos not to do something."

"No, aside from these two, we'll try our best not to attack Shrek Academy and the Body Sect this time," Qian Lingyun said impatiently as she stood up. "What we need to do is make things difficult for them, and these two happen to be a crucial part of that."

"Why?" The Soul-Destroying Douluo frowned in confusion, puzzled. "That's a rare twin martial soul! If the Holy Sect could nurture it properly later..."

"As far as I know, the Gluttonous Beast of Shrek Sea God Pavilion is hiding in the shadows. If anything goes wrong at this stage, our sect will be exposed to the Soul Master world," Qian Lingyun paused, then patiently explained.

"It's just a twin martial soul. Compared to our sect's interests, its importance is obvious. Rather than letting it affect our future plans, let the Body Sect and Shrek Academy fight it out among themselves!"

"So, how does the Holy Maiden plan to sow discord between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy?" Bloodthirsty Douluo sat in his chair, lazily glancing at Qian Lingyun, a smirk playing on his lips as he said disdainfully.

"I think everyone has heard about the beast tide many years ago! Shrek City was besieged, and the Body Sect was the first to go to its aid."

"Oh! Did you know that the current Sea God Pavilion Master once fought a great battle with the elder brother of the Body Sect Master, Poisonous Death? Poisonous Death was defeated and perished shortly afterward!"

Qian Lingyun looked down at the assembled title holders with an extremely calm expression, but her dark red eyes held a terrifying glint, as if some horrifying creature was watching them through those eyes.

"Then... I wonder what insightful opinion the Holy Maiden has!" The Fourth Elder asked the question on everyone's mind, but Qian Lingyun gave Mei Douluo a wink, signaling her to continue.

"And the second goal of these two guys is the last treasure of the Starlight Auction House's top auction in a few days, a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo contained in the level nine soul tool, the God Sealing Platform! They want to take this treasure back to the Body Sect, possibly to leave for their sect leader candidate."

Before Mei Douluo could finish speaking, almost everyone present, except for Feng Ling and Qian Lingyun who already knew some of the information, widened their eyes in surprise.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo and a level nine soul tool, my goodness! What a treasure!" Wu Yun clicked his tongue, exclaiming in astonishment.

"That embryo is equivalent to a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit bone! I wonder how much such a top-grade treasure would sell for!"

"The young master of the Body Sect?" the Fourth Elder asked curiously. "He must be an exceptional genius, otherwise the Body Sect wouldn't have sought out this treasure for him."

"So our real target is that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?" The Soul-Slaying Douluo gave Qian Lingyun a deep look, a half-smile playing on his lips as he teased, "I knew the Sect Leader had summoned us brothers to Star Luo City; it turns out... it's all for our Holy Maiden's treasure hunt!"

Upon first seeing Qian Lingyun, Zhanhun and Miepo could discern her current cultivation level. In their subsequent conversation with Fengling, they learned that Qian Lingyun had yet to acquire her sixth soul ring.

In this way, Zhongli Wu's various attempts to conceal his true intentions can be explained.

"A treasure for a genius, I think our Holy Maiden deserves this treatment," the Third Elder chuckled, and said, "Holy Maiden, um... after using the Consecration Platform from the Soul Beast Embryo, can I take it and study it? Although it's not difficult to make, it's always better to get something for free."

"Of course, but now, esteemed elders, I have something I'd like to ask for your advice on," Qian Lingyun said, clapping her hands lightly and grinning mischievously.

"Oh, what is it that even the Holy Maiden can't understand?" Xiao Chen raised his head and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Why don't you tell us?"

"As far as I know, this treasure is incredibly valuable; the starting bid will be at least a hundred million." Qian Lingyun stepped forward with her hands behind her back, a hint of hesitation flashing across her handsome face. She appeared somewhat sickly pale and sighed.

"But I don't want to pay the money, and I want the things. I don't know what you guys can do?"

"Hehehe, the Holy Maiden is indeed the Holy Maiden! If you ask me, what do you think of it if the ten of us just go and snatch the treasure at the auction, run away, and fight our way out?" Bloodthirsty Douluo chuckled, his already small eyes squeezed into slits by his fat!

"inappropriate!"

Before Mei Douluo could speak, Scorpion Tiger Douluo had already stood up, calmly rejecting Bloodthirsty Douluo's idea, and explained: "As an industry under the Star Luo Royal Family, the Star Light Auction House will definitely have a Star Luo Royal Family member presiding over the auction of its treasures. In addition, Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Shrek Academy, and some other hidden sects will also be there for the auction. The risk of trying to snatch it is too great."

"Sixth Elder is absolutely right. Moreover, as far as I know, auctions of this level don't display the actual items in the open. In other words, we can only see things like soul guide images." Mei Douluo bit her finger and recalled what an auctioneer she had spent the night with a few days ago had told her, repeating it verbatim.

"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you suggest we do?" Bloodthirsty Douluo plopped back down in a huff, looking like a fat, black-faced pufferfish.

"As far as I know, only three families—Mingde Hall, Body Sect, and Shrek Academy—have the financial resources to bid for this treasure and the ability to protect it!" Qian Lingyun paused, glanced at the two unconscious people on the ground, and said jokingly, "Now Body Sect is no longer a competitor."

"Then the target will be narrowed down to Mingdetang and Shrek."

"We have ten people here. Six of them are lying in ambush outside Xingluo City, and two of them are trying to sneak into the vicinity of these two houses and use soul tools to eavesdrop to see who won the bid for this treasure."

"As for the remaining two, infiltrate the auction house to find out the locations of each passage. Once the embryo is sold, follow it and then... heh heh!"

At this point, a ruthless glint flashed across Qian Lingyun's face. She kicked the two men on the ground, crushed half of Shrek Academy's school badge, and stuffed it into Yu Tao's palm, saying, "Don't kill these two yet. Kill this one later and dump him within the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"The other one, kill the one left at the scene of our robbery... At that point, no matter who's missing, whether it's Shrek or Mingde Hall, they won't let it go!"

"At that time, let the Body Sect and them fight like dogs!"
