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

Chapter 160—The Iron-Blooded Sect, Pioneers in the Destruction of Tang

In the distance, Xiao Hongchen's face truly revealed a smile. This was the first time he had shown his full strength, and this attack was the strongest he could personally achieve.

He believed that after this round of group bombing, at least a few Shrek members would fall!

Yes, this is the new strategy of the Sun and Moon team: no matter how strong you are, we'll bombard you with artillery fire!

We know that Dai Yueheng is good at close combat, so as long as we prevent you from getting close to us and separate you, we can use our superior firepower to take you down one by one!

"The match was really interesting, but I'm already feeling the boredom of knowing the result beforehand," Qian Lingyun sighed, handing the voucher that could be exchanged for gold soul coins after the match to Feng Ling, and said softly, "I'm going to find someone, I'll be back soon, you don't need to come with me."

"..." Feng Ling gave Qian Lingyun a deep look, nodded silently, and said, "Wait for good news."

Just after Qian Lingyun left Xingluo Square alone without any hesitation, Zhang Peng and the others noticed this place and left their original positions one after another, gathering around Feng Ling. Zhang Peng said, "Vice Sect Leader, the Holy Maiden, she..."

"She has some errands to run herself, she doesn't need to come along," Feng Ling paused, gently squeezed the paper slip in her hand, and slowly said, "After the competition, we'll go back to report."

As for the later stages of the competition, the result was obvious: without Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng could not carry the team alone and ultimately lost the team competition, and the same was true for the individual competition.

This was destined to be a rare day, as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy successfully defeated Shrek Academy and won the championship.

Two days later, Qian Lingyun arrived at the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire—Tian Dou City.

After some investigation, she arrived at the gate of a small sect. The gatehouse was about two zhang high and five zhang wide, with walls one zhang high extending twenty meters on each side. The vermilion paint on the walls was particularly eye-catching, adding to the solemn atmosphere. Before the gate were neat, finely arranged gray tiles. Above the gatehouse were three large characters: Iron Blood Sect.

There are two vertical plaques on the left and right sides of the gate tower. The one on the left reads "Loyalty and Integrity," and the one on the right reads "Eternal Pride."

"This looks like the right place!" Qian Lingyun politely knocked on the door of the Iron Blood Sect.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the gates of my Iron Blood Sect?"

Two disciples on duty rushed down from the gate tower, looking at Qian Lingyun with ill intent.

"Go and inform your sect leader that a distinguished guest has arrived!" Qian Lingyun glared at the two of them with a hint of helplessness. She activated the Dream Beyond ability on her left leg, and two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings appeared.

"Hun... Soul Saint?"

The disciple on duty was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly bowed to Qian Lingyun and said, "Please wait a moment, Lord Soul Saint, we will go and report this immediately."

Although a Soul Saint's strength is not considered a strong figure in the Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek Academy, or Body Sect, it is a rare and important figure in front of a small sect like the Iron Blood Sect.

After all… their sect leader is just a Soul Emperor.

Soon, a large number of Iron Blood Sect disciples rushed out and stood in two rows by the roadside.

The leader was tall, but his eyes were small. He had short hair and a bald patch in the middle. Looking at the seven spirit rings on Qian Lingyun's body, his gaze sharpened, and he said in a low voice, "My name is Tie Tang, the young sect master. May I ask what brings you to my Iron Blood Sect, senior?"

"Senior? Am I that old?" Qian Lingyun asked, frowning slightly in dissatisfaction.

"Not old, not old, of course not old!" Tie Tang's face stiffened, and he hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly, "Lord Soul Saint, you still retain your charm and are as beautiful as a young girl!"

"Still has the charm?" Qian Lingyun took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to punch someone, and said in a deep voice, "I remember... you were the ones who destroyed the Tang Clan, weren't you!"

"Ah..." Tie Tang's heart skipped a beat, sweat dripping down his forehead. He muttered, "Could they be here for revenge?"

But then he thought, "No, if she's here for revenge, she'd never speak to me politely."

"Yes, the Tang Clan was indeed destroyed by our Iron Blood Sect." Tie Tang took a deep breath and explained honestly, "But it's a dog-eat-dog world among sects. They couldn't protect their territory, so they can't blame us. If we didn't do it, someone else would."

Qian Lingyun frowned and thought for a while, feeling a surge of unease: What does your destruction of the Tang Clan have to do with me...?

After a long pause, Qian Lingyun raised her eyebrows and asked again:

"After you destroyed the Tang Clan, did you find anything?"

"Yes, yes, after we wiped out the Tang Clan, we got a bunch of weird stuff. We don't need it, but it's a shame to throw it away, so we hid it in the basement!" Tie Tang eagerly straightened up, thinking: [Brilliant, brilliant! As long as this Soul Saint isn't here for revenge, it's good that he's using those Tang Clan junk to buy peace, and incidentally getting on the Soul Saint's good side. It's a sure-fire way to make money.]

"Let me see it," Qian Lingyun said with a smile, and walked straight to the pavilion to sit down gracefully. Tie Tang nodded and bowed repeatedly, urging the disciples around him to help Qian Lingyun move her things.

Before long, four or five Iron Blood Sect disciples, each carrying an old mahogany box, stood in a line in front of Qian Lingyun and placed the boxes on the ground.

Tie Tang, standing to the side, said nervously, "Lord Soul Saint, is this all?"

"Hmm, not bad." Qian Lingyun opened the first box and took out a few ancient books with yellowed covers from a pile of messy things. She gently brushed off the dust and looked closely. The four big characters "Capturing Dragons and Controlling Cranes" were clearly written on them.

"This looks pretty good. Why don't you guys practice with it?" Qian Lingyun asked curiously, shaking the book in her hand.

"You don't know this, but most of these are incomplete copies... impossible to master." Tie Tang's eyes showed bitterness as he took out a copy of "Ghostly Shadows and Mysteries" from the box, opened it, pointed to the blank pages, and said helplessly, "You see, most of these books were destroyed by the Tang Clan's leader at the time."

"I see!" Qian Lingyun opened the remaining boxes one by one, rummaging through all the odds and ends inside. Sure enough, they were all parts for hidden weapons and incomplete manuals of martial arts. She shook her head helplessly, thinking: [Well, what a waste of time. It would have been better to just go to Shrek Academy and kidnap Tang Ya. But she remembered that Tang Ya would come back on her own soon after dropping out of school…]

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun directly took out the million-gold voucher she had won from Wang Dong during the freshman assessment from her storage soul tool and threw it directly at Tie Tang's face: "One million gold soul coins to buy this house of yours and the name of the Iron Blood Sect. Pack your things and move out!"

"..." Tie Tang picked up the gold voucher with trembling hands, his eyes wide as copper bells, and Qian Lingyun could even see the bloodshot in his eyes.

Was it too little?

Qian Lingyun drifted into idle reverie.

"Ah! Heavens! It's a million gold soul coins! That's enough to buy the lives of everyone in the Iron Blood Sect and their entire families!" Tie Tang knelt down with a thud, clutching the gold voucher, seemingly intending to kowtow to Qian Lingyun.

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable taking the money.

Just then, a loud shout came from the backyard of the Iron Blood Sect: "Who wants my Iron Blood Sect to change its name and move?"

An elderly man who looked about eight-tenths like Tie Tang came running quickly from the backyard with two other men of similar age.

Qian Lingyun frowned, raised her right hand, and waved it in the air, causing her first spirit ring to suddenly light up.

Suddenly, a ball of purplish-black flame shot out along the ground, raising a black fire cage beneath the feet of the three people.

The three trapped in the fire cage were on high alert. They all activated their martial spirits and tried to break through the cage with force, but they were forced back by its intense heat.

"Ugh! It's so messy and has no aesthetic appeal at all!" Qian Lingyun complained expressionlessly, resting her chin on her hand.
