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

Chapter 22 - Night Hunt

As evening fell, Qian Lingyun, exhausted from playing, sat obediently by the pond, her head bowed, as Qian Renxue used the sacred fire in her hand to dry her hair.

Seemingly sensing the warm breath emanating from the top of her head, Qian Lingyun silently closed her eyes, letting out a few soft murmurs, "Sister Xue... to be honest, your hair-drying skills are truly amazing. If you opened a beauty salon or something, it would definitely be a huge success. Tsk tsk tsk, it feels so good I almost fell asleep!"

"If you like me drying your hair, I can do it for you every day!" Qian Renxue said with a slight smile, "I'm just afraid you'll get bored and find someone else!"

"Hey, I'm not that kind of person. I'm very sentimental..." Qian Lingyun reached out and grasped Qian Renxue's wrist, whispering, "Let's hurry up and get the remaining two spirit rings tonight! Didn't you promise me a few years ago that you'd take me to that Shrek Academy?"

"Hiss... You're still thinking about that! What's the point of going to that lousy place? With me here, do you really need someone else to teach you cultivation?"

Mentioning Shrek Academy, Qian Renxue's face darkened slightly, but she didn't stop what she was doing, still diligently tidying up Qian Lingyun's messy hair.

"That's not what I meant... As the saying goes, to defeat your enemy, you must first understand them! We are outnumbered and outmatched right now, and we don't have the qualifications to confront such a behemoth head-on." Qian Lingyun raised her hand to rub her aching temples, feeling increasingly irritated.

After all… there was Tang San, who possessed the dual divine body, and six second-level god-like subordinates eyeing him covetously in the heavens, while Tang San's four close friends were lurking on the ground, and on their side, there was only a shattered angelic divine position and a Rakshasa divine position that couldn't defeat the others…

This kind of hellish, unfavorable situation is really tough to win.

"Hmm..." Qian Renxue didn't speak, only let out a muffled groan, which could be considered as tacit agreement with Qian Lingyun's opinion. She pursed her lips, looked at the sky with a forced smile, and whispered:

"I remember seeing something in your memories... Tang San has a daughter who also enrolled this year, right? I want to see what kind of monster this guy with three-quarters soul beast blood is!"

"Hmm... The one who enrolled this year is at most half of Tang San's daughter. The other half was split in two by that guy Tang San and stuffed into the body of a soul beast." Qian Lingyun raised her hand to brush away the stray hairs on her forehead, and chuckled with a sneer. She said disdainfully, "To split the soul of one's own daughter in two, does that kind of person deserve to be called a father? He is utterly depraved."

"Oh, oh, oh, I remember now, the one you were talking about... Tang San's daughter is the one who ate half of his memories, absorbed the bloodline of the Emperor Beast, relied on her man to condense her soul core and advance to the limit, and finally barely became a second-level god by relying on the divine position left by Tang San, right!" Qian Renxue clapped her hands, looking as if she had just realized something.

"If you insist on saying that, there's nothing wrong with it. It seems that Tang Shenwang's genes aren't very good either! Is it because the proportion of human blood is too low, causing degeneration?" Qian Lingyun made no attempt to hide her disdain, using a sharp and sarcastic tone to mock the compassionate Buddha Tang as much as she could.

"Hehe." As if she had thought of something fun, Qian Renxue suddenly leaned down and whispered a few words in Qian Lingyun's ear.

"Are you sure we can really extract that thing?!" Qian Lingyun asked, her brows furrowed in uncertainty. "Extracting that part of its soul from its body isn't easy, and if we do manage to extract it, it will target us."

"If we're really going to do it, we need to think about it carefully!"

"No need for further planning. We're in the Star Dou Great Forest now, so we can pay them a visit directly! We absolutely cannot let Tang San's daughter take away the fortune of the Emperor Beast," Qian Renxue said resolutely.

"...The one at the very bottom of the Star Dou Great Forest deeply hates the gods. If we go there, she might just devour both of us alive," Qian Lingyun suggested after thinking for a moment, resting her chin on her hand.

"If we really want to make contact with that powerful figure among the soul beasts, we don't necessarily have to go directly into the core area; we can just go find that Emperor-level auspicious beast!"

"No, the Star Dou Forest is so vast, and there's only one Emperor-level Auspicious Beast. How can we expect to encounter one just because we've already met one?" Qian Renxue paced back and forth, pondering for a while. In the end, she shook her head and insisted that they should risk going to this perilous place!

As for completely releasing divine aura to attract the Silver Dragon King's attention, that's absolutely out of the question. After all, there's still the God King Tang in the heavens who wishes he could gouge his eyes out and stare at the Douluo Continent at all times.

Releasing myself like this would probably be a death sentence...

However, it would be absolutely impossible not to find help. Needless to say, there's the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, Tang Hao, A Yin, and the two watchdogs left behind at the Clear Sky Sect. They are all god-level combatants who deliberately suppressed their strength to stay in Douluo Continent. To deal with them...

Even considering that the one in the sky won't come down, our side would need at least five Limit Douluo-level combatants at the very least...

The only forces in the world capable of unleashing the power of a Limit Douluo are the Holy Spirit Cult, the Star Dou Great Forest, and the top-tier ferocious beasts in other places.

As for those ferocious beasts that are not from the Star Dou Great Forest, like the big eye from the Sun Moon Continent, they probably wouldn't want to fight to the death with those guys who have Tang San backing them. Who knows, halfway through the fight, these guys might turn against them and stab them in the back.

So it seems that, apart from the Holy Spirit Cult and the Star Dou Great Forest, the only one they can win over is the other Deep Sea Demon Whale, who has a grudge against Tang San!

After thinking it over and over, Qian Lingyun felt more and more upset. She supported herself with her right hand on the ground, grabbed Qian Renxue's arm with her left hand, and slowly got up. She whispered a few words in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue looked troubled and asked doubtfully, "Does it really have to be this way? I really don't want to relive those days again."

"Practice makes perfect, Sister. Aren't you quite experienced in this kind of 'switching the prince for a cat and poisoning the old emperor' scheme? Anyway, it's still early for this matter. Let's deal with the immediate problem first, shall we?"

After saying that, Qian Lingyun put on her boots and took a few steps deeper into the mixed zone. Seeing that Qian Renxue was still staring at her toes in a daze, she urged, "Let's go! My dear Sister Xue'er, most of the dark attribute soul beasts come out at night! It's going to get dark soon, let's hurry up and find them!"

"knew!"

Putting aside those meaningless and tedious plans, Qian Renxue decided to first complete her spirit rings and go to Shrek Academy to see what Spirit City had become after ten thousand years of changes.

As night falls, the sky is filled with countless stars, a sight that Qian Lingyun could hardly have seen on Blue Star.

After a brief moment of surprise, Qian Lingyun, relying on the dark color of her martial soul, carried Qian Renxue and flew low along the original route, quickly arriving at the place where the group of baboons had been wiped out that afternoon.

Looking into the distance, the two saw a small lion with purple fur in the darkness, its head bowed as it gnawed on a corpse on the ground.

Compared to other lion-type spirit beasts, it is indeed rather small, with a body length of only about 1.5 meters.

Its shoulder height is only about 60 or 70 centimeters, but its purple mane is very beautiful. Its fur is a glossy purple. It also emits a faint purple glow, and a large tail sways constantly behind it.

(I will subject you to various trials in accordance with the way you inherit my divine position. Even Wang Qiu'er only came into existence because I attached a wisp of Wu Tong's divine consciousness to the three-eyed golden lion. Otherwise, even if he were a divine beast of destiny, he couldn't possibly possess so much intelligence. Therefore, you don't need to feel sad about Wang Qiu'er anymore. He was originally a part of Wu Tong. Only after Wang Qiu'er sacrificed himself to you did that part of his consciousness return to Wu Tong, making Wang Qiu'er completely become Wu Tong.)

This is the original text, which clearly shows that Tang Buddha inserted something into the auspicious beast's body, so that when Huo Yuhao was guided, it would separate from Wang Dong's body and possess him.

The original text also states that the auspicious beast's cultivation level is a solid 15,000, and its cultivation amplification factor cannot be given to him.

Considering that the Silver Dragon King spent most of his time sleeping before Douluo Continent II, it is entirely reasonable to conclude that Tang Shenwang stuffed the Frankenstein's monster consciousness into the auspicious beast.
