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

Chapter 236 - The Villain Accuses First

Those who can become disciples of elders and venerable figures naturally have high standards, as can be seen from this horrific beating.

Yan Feng's five spirit rings were active, while Qian Lingyun's spirit rings were inactive.

Yan Feng, the most powerful among the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult, was brutally beaten by Qian Lingyun in her normal state while her martial spirit was activated. She was being choked by the neck.

This level of strength is far superior to those Soul Kings and Soul Masters, perhaps even seventeen or eighteen times stronger.

They, the evil spirit masters, are all standard late-stage sufferers of the "admiration for the strong" syndrome.

Seeing Yan Feng, whom Zhongli Wu wouldn't even recognize after being beaten so badly by Qian Lingyun, the others swallowed hard and exclaimed, "The sect leader's disciple was beaten along with the Holy Maiden; the Holy Maiden is truly a heroine among women..."

"Am I the only one who thinks Boss Yan is about to be beaten to death?" Jili muttered under his breath.

"Then you go save him?" Lu Genggeng asked.

"It's hopeless, beyond saving, just wait to die!" Jili waved his hands repeatedly, hurriedly explaining, "Actually! I have absolutely no relation to this Yan Feng! Who is he? I don't know him!"

Qian Lingyun was getting more and more into the beating, unaware that she was already gaining a large following of cheering fans among the growing crowd of onlookers nearby…

"Let me tell you, next time I see you, you'd better have a soul tool with you, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Having had her fill of the beating, Qian Lingyun wiped her reddened fists, spat impatiently to the side, and asked fiercely, "You guys too, did you hear me?"

"We heard that!" the Tang Dynasty people shouted in unison.

"I didn't hear you! Haven't you eaten?" Qian Lingyun shouted angrily, "You can't even shout properly, and you call yourselves evil spirit masters?!"

"I heard you!"

The group took a deep breath and shouted at the top of their lungs.

Hearing this powerful shout, Qian Lingyun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Indeed, it's basically useless for evil spirit masters to talk big or say nice things; a slap in the face and good stuff are the keys to communication!"

After shouting at everyone present and taking a break to open the "wild game," Mei Douluo finally arrived late.

Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Yan Feng, Tang Ya, and Wang Xiaolei on the ground, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock, exclaiming, "Holy Maiden, why did you beat them up?!"

"So what if I beat them up? I didn't kill them all because I'm in a good mood today!" Qian Lingyun glared impatiently at Mei Douluo and couldn't help but complain, "Who do you think I have backing? If I don't like the Holy Maiden and the Sect Leader's disciple, I'll beat them up just the same!"

Mei Douluo: "I thought you would be reasonable..."

Qian Lingyun flexed her fist, blew lightly, and said teasingly, "Where we live, is there any logic that can make people obey more?"

"..." Mei Douluo fell silent for a long while before finally speaking softly, "You won! You successfully convinced me!"

Qian Lingyun raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Then I absolutely have to win! I'll win until I'm numb!"

Tang Ya is a saintess, and Yan Feng is a disciple of Zhongli Wu, so what? Qian Lingyun also has Ye Xishui behind her!

If you upset her, she won't give anyone face except for two extreme cases!

"Alright, everyone stop watching and disperse!" Mei Douluo shouted at the surrounding onlookers.

The onlookers scattered in a flurry, running away like rabbits.

You know what, even though he's the worst among the elders, in the hearts of these ordinary disciples, Elder Mei Douluo's words still carry some weight.

After shouting his orders, Mei Douluo looked at the empty square and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "...Eh!? Where did everyone go?"

Yes, before Mei Douluo could react, Qian Lingyun had already run away. Just now... Mei Douluo's words had served as a reminder to her.

Yan Feng is just a nobody; she could kill him with a single slap. But Zhong Liwu, who is behind him, is her biggest threat in the Holy Spirit Cult.

As long as this old bastard doesn't die, Qian Lingyun won't be the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. And if she can't be the leader, she can't lead her subordinates to throw corpses into the Haotian Sect and play with Shrek Academy's corpse explosion.

If she can't throw biological bombs at Shrek Academy, what's the point of her being in the Holy Spirit Cult?!

Besides, although Ye Xishui tacitly approved of her power grab, that happened more than two months ago.

Ye Xishui's temperament is as unpredictable as the summer weather at the beach. Who knows if this old lady has suddenly changed her mind!

If she turns her back on us, we'll have nowhere to turn.

As for a gift to make the old lady happy, she had already prepared it.

All she needs to do now is to quickly go and win back the affection between the grandfather and grandson, and today's crisis will surely be averted!

She knocked on Ye Xishui's door with practiced ease, but the first thing Qian Lingyun did was neither to greet her nor to offer a gift.

Instead, he slid down to his knees and delivered himself to Ye Xishui, hugged her legs, and tearfully recounted his hardships!

"Huh?" Ye Xishui stared blankly at her leg accessory, then said, both amused and exasperated, "Why are you crying?"

"I'm in a bad mood, let me cry for a while! Waaaaah!" Qian Lingyun buried her head and cried loudly, ignoring everything Ye Xishui said.

Only after soaking a large patch of Ye Xishui's clothes did he stare with his red eyes and sob softly.

"Tell me! What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?" Ye Xishui rubbed her forehead with a hint of helplessness and said gently, "I can take care of it for you!"

"Hehehe..." Qian Lingyun chuckled and said, "Actually, I didn't cause any trouble, I just beat up a few people."

"Judging from your tone, I think this is serious. Tell me! Did you beat up the revered elder or the venerable one?"

"Neither!" Qian Lingyun answered honestly.

Ye Xishui asked, "What is that?"

"I beat up Wang Xiaolei and even pretended he was going to be planted in the ground!"

"It's nothing, I'll just talk to the Elder. It's just kids making a fuss, he won't be angry!" A hint of inquiry flashed in Ye Xishui's eyes. She smiled playfully at Qian Lingyun and said, "There should be more, right? Anything else?"

Qian Lingyun thought for a moment and then said, "I also beat up Tang Ya while I was at it; I bet she won't be able to eat for the next couple of days..."

"It's not a big deal. You are the Holy Maiden, so teaching her a lesson is no big deal. Anyway, she doesn't have a master yet."

"But I have a feeling things aren't that simple. Tell me, what else is there...?"

Before Ye Xishui could finish speaking, Zhongli Wu's furious voice rang out like thunder from outside the door:

"Mother, is Mother home? If so, I'll come in!"

"What's the rush? Can't you talk slowly?" Ye Xishui glared fiercely at Qian Lingyun, then hid her behind the curtains, feigning composure, and said, "Never mind, come in!"

With a snap, Zhongli Wu pushed open the door and entered, carrying a 'pig's head' in his arms.

As soon as they entered, Zhong Liwu began to accuse Qian Lingyun of all her misdeeds to Ye Xishui. Ye Xishui's expression changed from sunny to cloudy. She gave Zhong Liwu a cold look and asked with a smile:

"Are you here to confront me?"

"I wouldn't dare. I just hope Mother can keep a closer eye on Rakshasa. As the head of our sect's Holy Maiden, she's always wandering around outside with the elders every few days!"

Ye Xishui, expressionless, defended Qian Lingyun, saying, "She recently strolled around and somehow added a thirteenth elder to our sect, didn't you know?"

"Is that so?" Zhongli Wu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and the anger on his face lessened, replaced by confusion.

How could such a big thing have happened without either the ancestral hall or Qian Lingyun telling him?

Zhongli Wu was silent for a moment, then said, "She...she even sent our disciples out to capture soul beasts!"

"Since those little brats are just idling around at headquarters anyway, why don't they go out for a stroll and relax, like a camping trip?"

"..."

Zhongli Wu understood: his old mother was going to speak up for Qian Lingyun, and he was no longer his mother's good son!

"If there's nothing else, you should go home! It's shameful for a cult leader to complain to his mother about such a trivial matter."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu's old face twitched uncontrollably.

Although he knew his mother would definitely speak up for her goddaughter, he refused to give up and wanted to try harder!

"No, Mother, look! Just because she had a disagreement with Yan Feng, she beat him up like this! Tell me, when has our Holy Spirit Cult ever treated its own people like this!"

Ye Xishui asked, "How old is Yan Feng this year?!"

"Reporting to the Supreme Master, I am fifteen years old this year!" the 'pig's head' on the ground said indistinctly.

"Fifteen?!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui laughed in anger, slamming her hand on the table and growling:

"Yun girl, you're only thirteen this year. You were beaten up like this by a female Soul Master who's even younger than you, and you still have the nerve to ask the Sect Leader to avenge you! I'm ashamed for the Sect Leader!"

Zhongli Wu: "..."
