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

Chapter 243—High-level hunters only appear in the form of prey.

"Hey, Lexuan, find out the location of that Chongtian Gate for me. Yes, I need to know now, I have to be there tonight!"

"You ask me what I'm doing? Nothing much, just running errands!"

Qian Lingyun found a spot in a restaurant in a nearby town where she could see the bustling street. She leisurely leaned against the railing, ordered a large table of dishes, and began to eat by herself.

In fact, Qian Lingyun wasn't hungry; she just liked to find something to do to pass the time while waiting for news.

Because Qian Lingyun discovered that no matter how much she ate, she couldn't gain weight, so eating was a good option.

Zhang Lexuan's efficiency was exceptionally high. Qian Lingyun made the call before ordering the food, and by the time the last dish arrived, she had already replied.

"Master, I have found out the information about Chongtianmen that you asked me to inquire about."

Upon receiving the communication device, Qian Lingyun raised an eyebrow upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's slightly cheerful tone, and her mood improved somewhat.

You can tell from her voice that Zhang Lexuan has been doing well lately.

Thinking about it, she pursed her lips slightly and suddenly had the urge to tease the girl.

"You've been doing well lately! Judging from your voice, you've gained weight!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, feigning surprise.

Sure enough, on the other end of the communicator, Zhang Lexuan let out a soft "hmm," followed by a series of noises. After a while, Zhang Lexuan replied in a pitiful tone, "Master, you're bullying me again! I'm clearly not fat!"

"I just thought you were bored, so I wanted to cheer you up!"

After saying that, Qian Lingyun picked up a decent-looking piece of food with her chopsticks and said seriously, "Didn't you find news about that Chongtian Sect? Tell me!"

"Yes," Zhang Lexuan replied obediently, and soon the sound of turning over papers came from the other end of the communicator.

Zhang Lexuan read aloud carefully, "Chongtianmen is an old-established Soul Master sect of the Sun Moon Empire. Its sect leader is named Feng Buqun. The sect is located in Moonfall City in the southwest of the Sun Moon Empire. It is a local tyrant and its reputation is... at least stronger than our Holy Spirit Sect."

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's last words, which were unclear whether they were a comparison or self-deprecation, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but spit out the food in her mouth and burst into laughter.

After a while, she clutched her stomach, which ached from laughing, and teased:

"Le Xuan! I must say, since you and I came to the Holy Spirit Cult, your sense of humor and your ability to tell jokes have improved a lot!"

"That's because the master taught us well!"

Qian Lingyun snorted and teased, "Stop, stop. I didn't teach you how to make sarcastic remarks. You're self-taught. How about it? Don't you think it's not so bad to let loose in the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"It's alright..." Zhang Lexuan paused somewhat awkwardly, then said, "Although many of their disciples are a bit mystical, they were all very polite to me, which made me feel that the Holy Spirit Cult isn't as terrifying as I had imagined..."

"Of course. Although your childhood was tragic, if we're really comparing who had the worst childhood, the Holy Spirit Cult would take at least eight of the top ten spots on the entire continent!" Qian Lingyun looked up at the sun obscured by dark clouds and said sheepishly.

"Some people always treat evil spirit masters like rats in the street, but I think there's no need for that. As long as they haven't harmed you, you have no reason to hate people you've never even met!"

"Alright, go ahead and do your work. Try to condense your soul core and break through to the Title Douluo level as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun unilaterally hung up the communication and took out a map to compare the direction of Luoyue City.

He casually left the money for the meal, then leaped over the railing and disappeared into the vast crowd.

The distance between Luoyue City and here is neither too close nor too far. At Qian Lingyun's speed, it would take about an hour to get there with Mei Douluo's gourd flying vehicle.

As the wide-gain flying soul device approached Falling Moon City, it automatically slowed down and glided, then narrowed its wings and landed a few hundred meters above the ground.

Using a gold soul coin to pry open the conversation of the local elders, Qian Lingyun openly revealed her purpose.

"Girl, you really don't know your place! You actually want to go to Chongtianmen!" The old man's dim eyes flashed with panic when he heard the words Chongtianmen.

He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "I've taken your money, so I can't just stand by and watch a young girl like you run into a fire pit. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the old man actually started running, leaning on his cane. His movements were so swift and agile that he didn't look like an elderly person using a cane at all...

"Judging from your tone, what kind of den of dragons and tigers is this Chongtian Gate?" Qian Lingyun stopped the rushing old man with some curiosity, frowning as she said, "At least explain yourself clearly!"

"Hey, you don't know! This Chongtian Sect Master, Feng Buqun, had a son late in life, and he spoiled him rotten. Who knows how many girls he's ruined!"

The old man pointed at Qian Lingyun's body and said angrily, "Someone like you, they'd trick you into coming to their door as a guest first..."

"And then?" Qian Lingyun asked.

"If you fall for their trick, you're finished. Those rich kids will hide you in the cellar, and then..."

As he spoke, the old man made a knowing look.

"What if I don't fall for it?"

"That's going to be a real pain. These local bullies won't listen to reason, so they'll have to resort to force!"

Before the old man could finish speaking, he seemed to have seen something terrifying and disappeared in a flash, running much faster than before.

He even threw his cane on the ground.

"Young Master, where are you going to have some fun today?"

"I haven't decided yet! I'm tired of the demure girls lately, and I'm thinking of trying something different."

"Oh! Let's stroll around the streets more today and see if we can find... hehehe!"

Qian Lingyun turned her head to look in the direction of the voice, which came from a group of... oddly-looking young people.

The young master they were referring to was a somewhat overweight young man.

With its small nose and small eyes, it has a somewhat rat-like appearance.

When these people appear on the street, it's as if everyone disappears without a trace.

In just a short while, the entire street was deserted except for Qian Lingyun.

"Young Sect Master, look! There's a beautiful woman!"

"Where, where are the beautiful women?"

The fat man looked in the direction of the typing finger, his lewd gaze sweeping back and forth across the empty street.

Soon, his gaze fell on Qian Lingyun.

When he saw Qian Lingyun, his mouth gaped open, his fat face trembled slightly, and his small, bean-sized eyes gleamed with greed. His gaping mouth revealed jagged, yellow teeth that emitted a pungent stench, and saliva dripped down his face. Even his voice distorted.

"Beautiful, beautiful woman. What a beautiful woman!" he said, and then walked toward Qian Lingyun as if his body was out of control.

"Beautiful lady, my name is Feng Ling. Feng means handsome and elegant, and Ling means to reach the pinnacle. I am the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of Chongtian Sect. You, you are so, so, so beautiful."

The stench emanating from this fat man, Feng Ling, was so foul it was almost toxic. His saliva, falling onto the ground, even caused the floor tiles to emit white smoke.

"Good grief, did I just step on a landmine for Wang Dong'er in advance?!" Qian Lingyun looked at the poor guy and couldn't help but laugh.
