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

Chapter 183—The Holy Spirit Cult Where Everyone is Involve

"You don't need to worry about that," Qian Lingyun waved her hand, interrupting the Sixth Elder, and added:

"I'll solve this problem myself, just vote for me!"

"Ahem, since the Holy Maiden says to vote, then let's vote!" Zhongli Wu glanced lazily at Qian Lingyun, pursed his lips, and said, "I abstain."

"I agree!"

On this trivial matter, Fengling silently raised her right arm.

"I..." The eldest of the eight elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, with a gloomy expression and a pout, slowly uttered the word "abstain".

"Second brother, fourth brother, please! This is my long-cherished wish!" The Third Elder grabbed the arms of the two men on either side of him, raised them high above his head, and shouted, "The three of us agree!"

"Then the three of us object!" Sixth Elder Mo Ao pulled Fifth and Seventh Elders together and shook their heads to cast their votes against it.

This annoying action made Mei Douluo frown slightly, glare fiercely at the three annoying people, and then pulled Ma Xiaotao's arm to cast her vote of approval.

"Ah!" Ma Xiaotao cried out, angrily punching Mei Douluo. Mei Douluo followed the water droplet on her head and saw Ma Xiaotao's hand...

"Cough cough cough... This ventilation soul guide is good at cooling, but it drips water."

Clearing his throat, he lowered his hand and asked with a mischievous smile, "That's going too far. Don't you want to waste even a little bit of time in the meeting?"

"It's none of your business!"

"So, do you support or oppose the widespread use of soul tools?" Ma Xiaotao nudged Tang Ya on her left, blushing as she continued fiddling with her things.

"I, I object."

Tang Ya sat there blankly, but when she heard the words "soul tool," a bitter and resentful look immediately appeared on her pale face.

Unsurprisingly, she voted against it.

Next, the pressure fell on the Holy Spirit Cult's Hall of Worship. After the High Priest cast his dissenting vote, the two High Priests, Zhanhun and Miepo, who had already been equipped with soul guides, changed their attitude from the previous meetings and readily cast their votes in favor.

The fourth offering abstained, and the fifth offering opposed.

Sixth Offering Zhang Peng, seventh Offering Heishan, and eighth Offering Wuyun all voted in favor, while ninth Offering Xiao Chen abstained.

At this point, including Bai Yuan's vote, Qian Lingyun's own vote, and Ye Xishui's three votes, she had obtained seventeen out of the thirty-three votes for the twenty-seven seats.

Regardless of whether the Tenth-Rank Soul Douluo or the Eleventh-Rank Abomination Douluo chooses, it's already impossible to stop her.

"Seventeen votes in favor, ten abstentions, and six votes against."

"The Holy Maiden's proposal regarding the widespread use of soul tools has been approved!"

Feng Ling stood up, briefly read the message to everyone, then sat down again, signaling Qian Lingyun to continue.

"There's an additional clause in my first proposal that will have a significant impact on our Soul Mentors. Third Elder and Eighth Elder, please take note of it. The rest of you just need to listen," Qian Lingyun waved her hand, and Zhang Lexuan quickly stepped forward and delivered the two documents to the Third Elder and Eighth Elder.

As she passed by the Eighth Elder, Ma Xiaotao inexplicably sensed a familiar aura emanating from the woman in the black cloak.

She tried several times to stop Zhang Lexuan and ask her where she came from, but considering that her current appearance was indeed indecent, she eventually gave up.

"My personal opinion is that the Sun and Moon Emperor is old and the three great empires are weak. It won't be long before the Sun and Moon Empire launches a second Sun and Moon War! And once the war starts, a large number of new soul tools will be needed."

"I want you to establish a research institute for a new type of soul tool, to study combat soul tools suitable for wartime use. I've already thought of a name for the institute."

"Let's call it Rheinmetall! Its full name is Rheinmetall Arms Factory."

"Hmm!" The Third Elder opened the document, quickly glanced through the contents, and after confirming that the values ​​were correct, he stood up and nodded to Qian Lingyun:

"Holy Maiden, with our current manpower, we can skip the reorganization period and go directly into the second stage of mass production of soul tools. Moreover, I think we can entrust the establishment of the weapons research institute at the Rhine Factory to Hu Mei."

"Okay, I understand!"

"Eighth Elder, do you have a problem? If you have any opinions, you can raise them, and we can resolve them directly here."

Following the Third Elder's words, Qian Lingyun turned her gaze to Mei Douluo. Mei Douluo took a deep breath and declared confidently, "Holy Maiden, rest assured, as long as there are no problems with the funds and rare metals from the Xishui Alliance, we will definitely be fine."

Upon hearing this, most of the elders unconsciously turned their gaze toward Nangong Wan.

"Second Elder, what do you think?" Qian Lingyun paused, then asked the Second Elder, Nangong Wan, in a low voice.

"Maintaining the status quo on our side is fine, but we still have two competitors who seem to be joining forces, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, their strength is not that great, so it's not a big problem."

"But if we expand our scale, conflict is inevitable. Behind them are the Sun and Moon military and nobles. If we try to subdue them, we will certainly face a backlash," Nangong Wan thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer:

"My opinion is that it's optional to fight or not..."

"Okay, I understand. It's the Ordinary Alliance and the Audu Chamber of Commerce, right?" Qian Lingyun frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "How much of their income do they usually give to the guys behind them?"

"Normally, it's 60%."

This time, Nangong Wan gave an accurate number.

"Excellent, 60% is easy. Just take care of them, and then we'll give the rest to the guys behind them, and that'll be the end of it," Qian Lingyun said with a wave of her hand, giving the order directly.

"But... Holy Maiden, if we give those guys 80%, we won't make much profit ourselves..." Nangong Wan said hesitantly.

"Idiot, do we want their pittances each month? What's most important in the rare metals trade!"

Qian Lingyun answered herself, "It's the distribution channels! Once we acquire all the channels, how much we earn is entirely up to us. After we've completely taken over these channels, we'll just pay the prices originally offered by those two companies."

"Don't let their current antics fool you, they'll pay the price sooner or later!"

"Oh! Your wisdom is profound, Saintess. I was foolish," Nangong Wan nodded in sudden realization, then asked, "So...when shall we make our move?"

"Nangong Wan, I see everyone's here today. Let's finish what needs to be done today. After the meeting, you and the vice leader can take your men and go!"

Zhongli Wu, who had been mostly silent, finally spoke up lazily.

"This subordinate thanks the Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader, and Holy Maiden," Nangong Wan stood up, bowed to Zhongli Wu, Feng Ling, and Qian Lingyun, and gracefully sat down.

At this moment, Nangong Wan's eyes were full of excitement. You see, he had long been annoyed by those bastards who relied on their master's power.

Today, with the Vice Leader leading the charge, it's the death knell for the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, hehehe...

"Okay, let's leave this topic here for now and get ready to move on to the next proposal."

With great patience, Qian Lingyun watched as Nangong Wan sat down. She then took out the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, which she had recently obtained for free from Tang Ya, and openly distributed the abridged copy to everyone present.

Qian Lingyun, holding the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, began to introduce it with great intonation:

"This is a good book, a very practical book. It contains several unique skills. I personally highly recommend everyone to take a look. Therefore, my second proposal is that all disciples of my Holy Spirit Church must practice what's in it."

"I don't seek to master every subject, I just want everyone to be able to do it."

"Hey, what is this Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique? It looks like it's something the apprentices could learn to hone their forging skills," the Third Elder chuckled as he admired the contents of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, seemingly quite satisfied with it.

"Ghostly Appearances? Is it a footwork technique?" Even the Ninth Elder, Xiao Chen, seemed to have his interest piqued.

"The Jade Hand? It grants immunity to all poisons? What a treasure!"

After receiving the book, Bai Yuan, the worshipper, pondered for a moment before practicing it in front of everyone.

"Hey, hey, hey, anyone having trouble seeing? Try practicing the Purple Demon Eye and see how it works..." Bloodthirsty Douluo shouted, holding up the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record...

"Holy Maiden, why are you distributing this to everyone?" The Fourth Elder briefly flipped through the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record. Although its contents were also attractive to him, he still asked in confusion, "Does this mean that all disciples of our Holy Spirit Sect must learn this?"

"Yes, everyone must learn it. They don't necessarily have to be experts, but everyone must be able to do it."

(Original text: Zhou Yi glared fiercely at Huo Zhanji in the air, "Your martial spirit is a bit strange.")

If it were anyone else, she probably would have called him an evil spirit master. The dark aura emanating from the Heavenly Demon Technique was indeed formidable. However, she wouldn't make that judgment, because although Huo Zhanji's Heavenly Demon Technique was of the dark attribute, it was pure, lacking the bloodthirstiness and evil of an evil spirit master. And most importantly, this kid had just used the Purple Demon Eye. This was the Tang Sect's signature technique; since he possessed this skill, how could he possibly be an evil spirit master?

Seeing that she had withdrawn her Red Dragon Martial Soul, Huo Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, descended from the sky, and retracted his Fallen Angel transformation.

He didn't appear to be weakened by the Fallen Angel transformation and berserk state. The Heavenly Demon Devouring and Heavenly Demon Soul Stealing solved the problem, and he took the opportunity to absorb a significant amount of Zhou Yi's power to replenish his own energy consumption.

Master the Tang Clan's secret techniques, and no matter what you do, you'll be a good person!
