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

Chapter 235 - Who here is named Yan Feng? Am I being too nice to him?

"Is this method really effective?" Mei Douluo looked at Qian Lingyun seriously and said bluntly, "Most of them are disciples supported by the elders!"

"So what? It's just a beating. They can't possibly turn against me. Just tell me their names, and I'll go find them!" Qian Lingyun stood up, hands behind her back, and looked up at the ceiling, shouting boldly.

"Today, I'm going to show these little bastards who's in charge of the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult—no, who's really in charge of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Great, that's spirited, I like it!"

Mei Douluo clapped and coughed at the same time. Finally, she cleared her throat and announced the names of people outside, just like in Death Note:

"Yan Feng, Tang Ya, Lu Genggeng, Ji Li, Wang Xiaolei, and a few other rascals who look familiar but whose names I can't recall!"

"Um!"

The more Qian Lingyun listened to the names that Mei Douluo mentioned, the more she felt something was wrong. These names seemed to be the main members of the Holy Spirit Cult team in the Sun Moon Empire Soul Master Competition two years later.

This refers to the next generation of elders carefully cultivated by the Holy Spirit Church.

"That's all?" Qian Lingyun asked, frowning.

"That's all!" Mei Douluo answered honestly.

"Okay." Qian Lingyun clenched her fists, making a sickening cracking sound. She picked up the teacup she had just set into the table and downed it in one gulp, coldly saying, "Go and call them to the training grounds. I'll reason with them!"

"Alright!" Mei Douluo, having taken a few steps, turned back and asked, "Then... should Saintess Tang Ya also shout?"

"Shout it out, one more or one less won't make a difference. If we get five, I'll give one person a free beating. I want to see if my logic is strong enough!"

"Alright, the Holy Maiden is tall and strong! I'll go and call them over for you right now!" Mei Douluo chuckled, a smug look on his face, and fled from Qian Lingyun's room as if escaping.

Fifteen minutes later, outside the training grounds, a group of men in black robes of varying ranks were loudly plotting at the gate.

"Boss Yan, why did the Holy Maiden want us to go to the trial grounds to find her?" A thin, evil spirit master stared intently at Boss Yan with his sinister eyes, muttering in dissatisfaction, "I haven't even eaten yet!"

"Alright, Jili, you can eat whenever you want, but we haven't met this elusive Holy Maiden yet! She's the designated future leader!"

The speaker was tall and had a loud voice, which was quite rare among evil spirit masters. Far from being sinister, it exuded a strong masculine aura.

Jili pouted in dissatisfaction and muttered, "What do you know, you corpse-eater? Brains only taste good when they're fresh..."

"Enough, since you're already here, let's see what the Holy Maiden wants us for. If she can get the Eighth Elder to come to us, things aren't that simple."

Yan Feng was a seemingly normal-looking evil spirit master, but the aura he exuded was the coldest and most sinister, like a sinister venomous snake.

"Hehehe, Boss Yan, what's wrong with the Holy Maiden? Didn't the Fire Phoenix Holy Maiden and the Eighth Elder just 'that' with you a few days ago? If you ask me, who knows, the Holy Maiden might have even more fun, which is why she invited us to keep her company!"

This was a short, stocky guy. His shoulders were almost as broad as Lu Genggeng's, but his height only reached Lu Genggeng's waist. Judging from the name tag on his chest, his name was Gu Yu.

"You guessed one thing right, that is, I did come to visit you, but you guessed one thing wrong!"

A melodious female voice echoed from all directions, startling the group so much that they stood up straight and looked around in astonishment.

"My master said that when the Holy Maiden was at the fifth ring, she had already killed a Soul Douluo. Now it seems that her strength is even more terrifying than my master said."

The speaking dog was named Tang Dai, a disciple of Scorpion Tiger Douluo. He was tall, only half a head shorter than the burly Lu Genggeng, but rather slender.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I wouldn't have uttered those arrogant words!"

Sweat dripped uncontrollably from Gu Yu's forehead. Despite his boastful words just now, he was actually panicking. After all, he was a support Soul Master!

"That's because you were stupid. Thank you for drawing everyone's attention; we'll remember your kindness," Jili said sarcastically, then quickly nudged Tang Ya's arm with a serious expression. "Holy Maiden, you're a Holy Maiden too. The Holy Maiden Chief should give you some face, right?"

"Oh! You damn Jili, please stop nursing, stop nursing, or it'll really kill you!" Lu Genggeng was extremely anxious and quickly nudged Jili with his arm to signal him to be quiet.

Since Qian Lingyun had already arrived, she glanced briefly at everyone present, nodded expressionlessly, pointed to the entrance to the trial grounds, and said:

"You're all here, right? Come into the training grounds, I need to talk to you about something!"

In the short time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, including Wang Xiaolei who hadn't said a word, the seven unlucky guys stood obediently in a row in front of Qian Lingyun, not daring to utter a single word.

Qian Lingyun circled around the group with her hands behind her back, asking, "I'm asking you, wasn't it clearly stated at the recent high-level meeting that all disciples of the sect must learn to use soul tools no matter what?"

"Yes!" Tang Dai replied, nodding earnestly.

"Where are your soul tools?! Show them to me!"

When Qian Lingyun said this, it was as if a gentle breeze had brushed against a stone, and nothing happened.

Apart from Tang Dai pulling out the invincible shield Zhang Peng had given him from his pocket, the others didn't even move.

Tilting her head to glance at Tang Dai, Qian Lingyun gestured, "Tang Dai, go rest over there. The rest of you stay!"

"Yes!" Tang replied solemnly, walking to the side with a straight posture.

After Tang Dai left, Qian Lingyun stared at the faces of those unlucky fellows with a gloomy expression, scanning them back and forth.

"So, can I understand that you're just spouting nonsense when you offer prayers to the sect leader, vice-leader, and elders?!"

"Holy Maiden, it's not as strict as you say..."

Wang Xiaolei, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, but unfortunately, before he could finish the last serious word, Qian Lingyun had already pulled him out of the crowd.

He was grabbed by the neck and made to draw a huge circle in mid-air before being slammed heavily to the ground.

The cracking sound of bones breaking was so crisp in the silent training ground that everyone shuddered involuntarily.

But that wasn't the end of it. In front of everyone, the next second, Qian Lingyun slammed Wang Xiaolei's skull into the ground with a punch...

Qian Lingyun stood up and clapped her hands. She looked at the unfortunate man who had been tumbled headfirst to the ground, half-dead, and sneered, "Did I ask you to speak?"

Upon hearing this, the five unlucky guys in front of Wang Xiaolei stood up straighter than ever, and even Jili, who was born with a hunchback, stood up straight for once.

Not far away, Tang Dynasty was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to sit or stand, and could only silently thank Master Zhang Peng for his special care!

Although Zhang Peng would disappear from time to time, just based on the invincible shield in his pocket, he was willing to call his master Zhang Peng the most reliable master of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Are you all dumbfounded?! I'm asking you a question!" Qian Lingyun kicked the most burly Lu Genggeng away, impatiently demanding, "Give me a straight answer, can you use your soul tools?!"

"Yes!" Lu Genggeng, who was still rolling on the ground, wisely lay down and shouted first, "Absolutely!"

Jili and Gu Yu followed closely behind, also weakly shouting "Yes!"

Of the seven unlucky ones, besides the outsider Tang Dai and Wang Xiaolei who was stuck on his head, only Tang Ya and Yan Feng have not yet expressed their opinions.

Qian Lingyun did not tolerate these two pretending to be deaf and dumb.

A hook punch sent Tang Ya convulsing, spitting out yesterday's midnight snack, followed by a spinning kick that sent Yan Feng flying like a ball.

"Damn it, haven't I been too lenient with you?! You're still stammering and beating around the bush when I give you an order? Do you really think I'm discussing this with you?!"

While cursing, Qian Lingyun beat Yan Feng mercilessly. Her methods were so cruel that even Wang Xiaolei, who had just pulled his head out of the ground, silently shoved it back in.
