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

Chapter 223—Qian Lingyun: How dare you! You're courting death!

Yes, Xuanzi had already noticed Huo Yuhao and Huo Zhan when they lost contact with Wang Dongxiao. He had been following the two boys for a short distance.

Just as he was about to see what kind of trouble these two boys were up to, he happened to see the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, in its rage, whip Huo Zhanji unconscious with its tail. Enraged, he unleashed his ultimate attack.

This is also a major reason why Qian Lingyun was enraged after hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's shriek and the earth-shaking tremors.

Her little lion is so cute and so well-behaved!

Although I've led it a bit astray, turning it into a telegraph machine.

But, Huo Yuhao and his companion caused the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to miss lunch and even spied on her. Isn't that right?

Her little lion cub is still a baby, still growing! How could you not let her eat! And you were spying on her!

If Qian Lingyun were to encounter something like this, those two bastards would be skinned alive.

Even so, her adorable three-eyed golden lion only punched Huo Zhanji once, without killing him!

Just because I lashed out at that brat with my tail, you level 98 old bastard Deng actually unleashed your ultimate move!

After much thought, Qian Lingyun could only find one word to describe her indignation, which was... the words that the Great God King Tang loved to say.

A path to death!

TM's way to get yourself killed!

You old beast Xuan, how dare you hit my precious little lion! You...you and Shrek Academy are doomed!

Huo Yuhao was not far from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Xuanzi also withdrew some of his strength. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion reacted quickly and retreated in time, but was still blasted away by the aftershock and suffered serious injuries.

A sharp whistle rang out the next instant, and a dark red figure arrived fiercely, blocking Xuanzi's follow-up attack that was about to reap the three-eyed golden lion.

Indeed, it's Crimson King again, the one who always gets the short end of the stick. In the Star Dou Great Forest, there are so many ferocious beasts that can fight Xuanzi, or even escape unscathed with the auspicious beast, yet he's the one with the weakest cultivation.

It truly is a matter of timing and fate!

Amidst a deafening roar, Xuanzi slowly descended from the air. He was accompanied by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and he also had to hold back Huo Yuhao, showing some hesitation.

The Crimson King, who had charged forward recklessly, was also blasted back a hundred meters by the immense force of the Gluttonous Divine Ox.

But he still stood in front of the three-eyed golden lion.

The terrifying, dagger-like canine teeth emitted a crimson-gold luster. The three large heads roared simultaneously, and all the soul beasts within a ten-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move an inch.

The soft-boned rabbit that Qian Lingyun was carrying couldn't withstand the fright from the ferocious beast, kicked its legs, and died.

"Hmm, I was planning to eat you later, but since you died so young, you won't be fresh if I eat you tonight, so I'll just throw you away!"

Shaking the dead rabbit in her hand, Qian Lingyun didn't forget to finish it off. Instead, she forcefully threw the dead rabbit off the tree branch and onto the rocks below.

But with a snap, the limp rabbit, which had stretched out its legs and glared, was reduced to a pile of mangled flesh...

……

"The Crimson King?" Upon seeing the roaring red soul beast, Xuanzi's expression turned serious, and he ceased his attack.

"That guy from Shrek Academy, it's you again!" The three-headed spirit beast, resembling a lion, spoke in human language, but its voice was still filled with anger.

Xuanzi growled, "Red King, for the sake of the agreement between our academy and your Star Dou Beasts, I won't make things difficult for you. Step aside and hand over that golden-haired lion behind you."

Standing behind Elder Xuan, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Zhan, who was barely breathing on the ground, as their faces were also pale. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was alright!

The Crimson King roared, "Damn it! This is the most noble imperial beast in my Star Dou Great Forest! If you take him away, the entire Star Dou Great Forest will go crazy!"

"An imperial auspicious beast?"

Xuanzi was slightly taken aback. Although he had heard of the name of the Imperial Auspicious Beast, in his memory it was just a legendary existence.

Thinking of this, Xuanzi seemed to have an idea. He looked at the Red King, pointed at Huo Zhanji on the ground, and said coldly, "If our Shrek people are injured like this, I'll go crazy too."

As he spoke, Xuanzi took a step forward, and his terrifying aura pressed down on the Crimson King like a mountain.

Just then, a powerful and terrifying aura suddenly appeared, and the ferocious intent seemed to carry endless silence and coldness.

Countless snowflakes fluttered down, and in just a few breaths, the air temperature here had already dropped below zero.

"Insolence! Cease your arrogance!"

A clear, cool female voice drifted down from the sky, and a graceful figure, wrapped in a thick black robe, slowly landed on the swirling snowflakes.

"It's you!" The Crimson King's nose twitched slightly, and it was slightly taken aback. It had obviously recognized Qian Lingyun's identity, but Qian Lingyun's next words immediately shut its slightly open mouth.

"The two of us may not be able to keep the auspicious beast from this old scoundrel. The situation is unfavorable. Let's soften our stance for now and then reconsider our strategy."

"We have auspicious beasts, and they have human cubs. If we attack together, I don't believe they won't take the lives of the other human cubs!" the Crimson King transmitted fiercely, clearly enraged to the extreme.

Hit that human brat! You're not talking about Wang Dong, are you? Hit her, and the Heavenly God King Tang will probably descend right away, right?

Thinking of this, a wave of fear washed over her, but Qian Lingyun calmly reassured her, "Nonsense! All those guys combined aren't as important as a single hair on the auspicious beast. The beast is already injured; if something else happens to it, how will you explain it!"

"Wow! She actually cares about me that much?"

Upon hearing this, the three-eyed golden lion's three large eyes instantly became teary. It gritted its teeth and forced itself to bury its head between its forelimbs, just like any other spirit beast that was alright, without making a sound.

Realizing that taking action himself would endanger the auspicious beast, the Crimson King relented. It nodded and said helplessly, "You're right, I'll listen to you..."

"Okay, you just need to cooperate with me for a little while."

As soon as Qian Lingyun finished speaking with the Crimson King, she quickly transmitted her voice to the three-eyed golden lion lying on the ground: "Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, I have a way to help you get revenge!"

The three-eyed golden lion blinked, clearly understanding Qian Lingyun's meaning, and continued to lie on the ground.

"And who are you?! I don't recall Xingdou having a ferocious beast like you!" Xuanzi stared suspiciously at Qian Lingyun, who was dressed in a black robe and whose face was even covered by a thick black veil, and said unfriendly:

"Those hiding their heads and tails, dare to reveal your names!"

"The third most ferocious beast, the Ice and Snow Maiden!" Qian Lingyun mimicked the Snow Empress's indifferent tone, bending down to rub the three-eyed golden lion's large head, and solemnly declared:

"What happened today was due to our recklessness. To show our sincerity, we will obtain a suitable soul ring for the human child who will follow you."

"I can tell he's a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, right?"

Qian Lingyun glanced at Huo Yuhao behind Xuan Zi, then sneered, "The Crimson King will find any number of years of soul beasts he needs!"

"Yuhao, how many years of spirit rings do you want?" Xuanzi turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was staring blankly behind him, and asked in a low voice.

"what!"

Huo Yuhao snapped out of his reverie, pondered for a moment, and then repeated the lies he had learned from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

What Tang Sect secret techniques? What soul power sealing techniques and stuff?

Xuanzi was completely confused by what he heard.

Finally, Xuanzi sighed and said calmly, "Find me a high-quality spirit-type soul beast with a cultivation level of around 10,000 to 12,000 years."

"Okay," Qian Lingyun winked at the Crimson King and said, "Give me one that's twelve thousand five hundred years old."

"Alright." As soon as he finished speaking, the Crimson King didn't delay any longer. With a flash, he transformed into a dark red light and disappeared instantly.

"I'll take the auspicious beast back first. You all wait for the Crimson King here!" Qian Lingyun hugged the three-eyed golden lion with some difficulty, and transmitted her voice with a strange expression, "Huh?! Have you gained weight recently?!"

"I haven't gotten fat!" The three-eyed golden lion nudged Qian Lingyun's side with its large head, protesting, "I've just grown up and gotten taller!"

"Alright, alright, you haven't gotten fat, you've just grown up!" Qian Lingyun glanced helplessly at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, sighed softly, and said, "I remember you have some way to accelerate the growth of soul beasts under a thousand years old!"

"Yes! Why are you asking this?" said the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"It's nothing much, it's just that I've been down on my luck lately, so I opened a breeding farm to raise rabbits and spiders to supplement my income."

Qian Lingyun rubbed her hands together somewhat embarrassedly, then used her soul power to lift the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and head towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, but was stopped by Xuanzi.

"Gentlemen, the compensation hasn't arrived yet, it's not appropriate for you to just leave like this!"

"What a jerk!" Qian Lingyun cursed inwardly, but maintained a haughty demeanor as she turned and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"What can I do? I'll borrow your precious mythical beast for a bit," Xuanzi said expressionlessly.

"Are you still asleep?! The Crimson King has already gone to prepare the soul beasts, and you still want the auspicious beast! Are you really taking advantage of me because I have no temper?" Qian Lingyun feigned anger and shouted sharply, "If we really fight, you're no match for me!"

"Stop pretending. Your current strength is far from what is rumored to be as great as it is. Moreover, without the advantage of the terrain in the far north, your strength is not much stronger than the Crimson King!" Xuanzi smiled slightly, his aged eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

"They've been tricked!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion whispered.

"Yes, they will pay the price for their greed." Qian Lingyun awkwardly stroked the back of the three-eyed golden lion and asked, "Do you believe me?"

"I believe you," the three-eyed golden lion said succinctly.

"Fine." A barely perceptible smile appeared on Qian Lingyun's lips, then she turned to Xuanzi with an angry expression, threatening, "If you really want to fight to the death, then I'll drag your little brat down with me. Although I'm weak, I'm not incapable of doing it!"

"I never said I was going to kill her, nor did I say I was going to take her away, why are you so agitated!?" Xuanzi chuckled and said, "I just wanted to borrow it to do you a favor!"

"What kind of help?"

(①Without the Blade of Life Watch, Huo Yuhao's physical abilities are not at the level of his original third soul ring of five thousand years and the Ice Silkworm seal of ten thousand years.)
