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

Chapter 332 352353—The Alluring Douluo's Curvy Secret Technique 2.0 『Punishing Evil and Promoting Good』Sacred Soul Hall

Although a cold draft was blowing in the dark room, the ventilation was excellent and the room was very dry.

The cellar was not only very dry, but also fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches, and beds, all of which were very clean. Various fruits were laid out on the table, and a thick carpet covered the floor.

Aside from the slightly heavy yin energy, it was practically a luxurious bedroom.

Although Nan Shuishui looked a little pale, she was still in good health. When she saw Qian Lingyun arrive, her gaze immediately went blank.

She sat at the table, staring blankly at the wall, lost in thought. The only unusual thing was that this leader of the Earth Dragon Sect was wearing the Emperor's New Clothes. There was a thin silver chain on his right foot.

"Master Nan, it's been a long time!" Qian Lingyun pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Nan Shuishui.

"What do you want now?! If you want to kill me, then kill me! Why humiliate me like this?!" Nan Shuishui gritted her teeth and looked at Qian Lingyun, but she remained seated and did not dare to do anything extreme.

"Oh dear! You've really misunderstood me. I came here specifically to tell you about my precious daughter!"

Qian Lingyun casually picked up a piece of fruit from the table, wiped it with her sleeve, took a couple of bites, and curiously observed the reaction on Nan Shuishui's face.

As expected, upon hearing news related to Nan Qiuqiu, Nan Shuishui's feigned composure crumbled. She knelt on the ground with a thud, pleading in a pitiful voice, "Didn't you promise me? You said that as long as I went with you, you would let Qiuqiu go!"

"Huh!?" Qian Lingyun dropped the fruit in her hand with a thud. She scratched the back of her head, puzzled, and said, "I didn't do anything to her! I just came to wait for someone and gave you a heads-up!"

"Huh!? You're that kind of person!?" Nan Shuishui looked up at Qian Lingyun and was stunned.

Honestly, she didn't believe that Qian Lingyun, that wicked woman, would be so kind!

"It's like this, your daughter is very promising. She has been admitted to Shrek Academy despite only having a fourth-ring cultivation level!"

She truly is my daughter; she's so accomplished!

"That's it?!" Nan Shuishui asked, still wanting more.

"That's all!" Qian Lingyun replied calmly, grabbing another piece of fruit and starting to eat it.

"Why are you telling me all this! I can't even see her, it's just adding to my sorrow!" Nan Shui Shui sighed helplessly, her sadness evident in her words.

"You really don't want to hear it?!" Qian Lingyun raised one eyebrow and said teasingly, "If you really don't want to hear it, I won't come here again!"

"!" Nan Shuishui looked up, hesitated, but finally couldn't help but say, "I want to hear!"

"That's more like it! You either say you want it or you say you don't. You can't always be two-faced!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, then whispered enticingly, "How about I bring your daughter to see you sometime when I'm passing by Shrek Academy? It'll be free!"

"No need!" Nan Shuishui shook her head. How could she dare to let Nan Qiuqiu fall into Qian Lingyun's hands!

However, sensing something odd about Qian Lingyun's strange attitude, she asked directly, "Just tell me, what exactly do you want? With your strength and status, there's no need to beat around the bush!"

"That was satisfying!" Qian Lingyun gave a thumbs up and said frankly.

"I'm currently designing an eighth-level soul tool, and I might need someone with annihilation attributes like you to help me out!"

"What would happen if I refused?" Nan Shui Shui asked.

"Not so good!" Qian Lingyun smiled, her eyes narrowed, and reminded her, "After all... your daughter also has the Annihilation attribute, doesn't she?"

"Okay, I understand. I will cooperate when the time comes!" Nan Shuishui said, her eyes filled with pain. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head to agree to Qian Lingyun's request.

"Thank you for your cooperation!" Qian Lingyun gave Nan Shuishui a forced smile, then got up and left the dark room.

Honestly, she couldn't be bothered to go all the way to Shrek City to capture Nan Qiuqiu! After all... capturing someone is nowhere near as satisfying as a nuclear explosion!

Understand the applause!

Most of what she just said was just empty talk; she can manipulate people's imaginations and get them to compromise simply by talking. Is there any easier way in the world?

Outside the dark room, Hu Mei received news of Qian Lingyun's arrival while experiencing the sensation of fish and water. She hurriedly ended her daily training and stood obediently at the front of the Soul Masters, waiting for Qian Lingyun to speak.

"Yo!"

Seeing the lingering flush on Hu Mei's face, Qian Lingyun touched her lips with a half-smile, frowned, and teased, "I must have quite a bit of influence, making you come out halfway through your business!"

Hu Mei chuckled, looking at Qian Lingyun with great interest, and spoke without restraint in a crude way: "If the sect leader can leave her newlywed husband to come here, what can't I leave behind!"

"Could it be... that the leader's husband doesn't satisfy her? If so, I can recommend someone..."

"Of course not!" Qian Lingyun's lips twitched slightly as she glared at Hu Mei, then said with a sinister smile, "I came here because you guys seem too idle, so I'm giving you some extra orders!"

"Tsk! You've really picked up bad habits from Shangguan! You're starting to resemble Qian the Skinflint and Qian Shiren more and more!"

Taking the order list, Hu Mei glanced at it briefly, her pupils instinctively contracting before she clicked her tongue in amazement: "It's only been a few days, and you've already secured so many orders!"

"Master, I suspect you married into the royal family just to exploit them and make money off various factions!"

Qian Lingyun chuckled, glanced at Hu Mei teasingly, and said softly, "You know that's good. In this world, only strength and money are reliable!"

"It's hard not to support it!" Hu Mei nodded in deep agreement, but quickly returned to her carefree demeanor.

She grabbed Qian Lingyun's hand and started gossiping, "How's that prince's health? Is he in good shape? How long have you been with him...?"

"Stop! Stop! Don't gossip about things like this!" Qian Lingyun covered Hu Mei's mouth with her hand, scolding her in annoyance, "So many people are watching! Don't I have any dignity?"

"Tch, you're not a young lady anymore, what's there to hide! Tell me, tell me, tell me!" Hu Mei's eyes blazed with gossip, and she patted her large white airbag, confidently declaring:

"Who in the entire Holy Spirit Cult doesn't know that I, Hu Mei, am incredibly tight-lipped! Tell me, and I'll keep it absolutely to myself, not uttering a single word!"

Qian Lingyun fell silent. Looking at Hu Mei's swaying air bladder, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Is it just my imagination? Why does it seem like she's gotten bigger again?"

Perhaps sensing Qian Lingyun's subtle gaze, Hu Mei seemed to understand as well.

She casually walked past the others, grabbed Qian Lingyun's hand, slapped it against the airbag, and whispered seductively, "Master, how does it feel? Isn't it amazing!"

"You must be envious and jealous again, but I have an even more powerful 2.0 growth secret here! Aren't you even a little bit tempted?!"

"Hmph! Tempted... I..." Qian Lingyun wanted to say something harsh, but her eager gaze never left her.

Finally, she gave in to her 'dream'...

"Ohhh!"

As Qian Lingyun recounted her story, Hu Mei's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her doting smile became increasingly unrestrained.

"Is your prince that powerful? He can actually tame a woman like you so completely! Tsk! I'd really like to see him!"

"Hmm! What do you mean by calling me a woman like this? You might as well be more specific!" Qian Lingyun grumbled in dissatisfaction, and a faint gray killing intent burst forth, transforming into a sharp knife pressed against Hu Mei's neck.

"I'm panicking! I'm panicking!"

Under the threat of tangible killing intent, Hu Mei's face paled, and her already weak legs trembled uncontrollably.

A sudden idea struck her. She quickly took out a square wooden box from her storage soul tool and handed it to Qian Lingyun, saying with an embarrassed smile, "Sect Leader, don't be angry. I was just joking. How could I steal your man? This contains a new method I've researched! Please accept it!"

"..."

After taking the wooden box, Qian Lingyun's cold expression softened slightly. She left a message saying "This is the last time" and then eagerly opened the box to take a look.

After asking about the operating procedures of this new contraption, she nodded and reminded him, "Remember to come back and participate in our Holy Spirit Cult's first Grand Competition of Ultimate Skills next week!"

After saying that, she left the branch where goods were sorted alone.

Watching Qian Lingyun's figure disappear through the gate, Mei Douluo knelt down with a thud. She wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and exclaimed, "How strange! Our Holy Spirit Sect's leader is actually a virtuous wife! It's an unheard-of thing in hundreds of years!"

"Oh right, what did she say at the end... a grand competition of ultimate skills? What grand competition of ultimate skills... Oh! That one!"

After asking and answering himself for a while, Mei Douluo struggled to her feet and picked up the latest order list to look at it: "Well, three months to deliver! Twenty thousand pieces! Looks like my vacation is going to be shortened again!"

At midnight, in the Holy Spirit Cult's underground palace located beneath the Demon Forest.

A simple impromptu meeting was held, organized by Qian Lingyun and Feng Ling.

Apart from Feng Ling, almost everyone present today was a former member of the Holy Spirit Church's Offering Hall, which indicates that this meeting was primarily focused on decisions made by the Holy Soul Hall's higher-ups.

"Everyone, it's been a long time! I can see that everyone's cultivation level has improved considerably!"

From her seat at the head of the table, Qian Lingyun looked around at everyone present. Almost everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, so the meeting could proceed directly.

"Hehehe, it seems the royal kitchen's food is indeed nourishing. The sect leader has only been the crown princess for a few days! Her complexion is much better than before!"

Zhang Peng chuckled and joked, which was a way of warming up the atmosphere of the meeting.

"Your efforts are appreciated. The main purpose of our meeting today is to think about how the Holy Soul Hall can gain fame!" Qian Lingyun nodded slightly to Zhang Peng and continued, "Does anyone have any ideas?!"

Yuma tapped her cane lightly, stood up, and reminded him, "I remember that the Continental Soul Master Tournament a few years from now will be hosted by the Sun Moon Empire."

"As far as I know, this time, sects might be allowed to participate! What if we could win the championship in this competition!"

"Making a name for myself shouldn't be a problem!"

"Mother is right, but the competition is still a few years away. Wouldn't it be a waste to do nothing during this time?" Qian Lingyun said gently, looking at Yuma.

"We're definitely going to participate in this competition. Not only will we participate, we're going to take the championship by stepping on Shrek's heads!"

"Because I will take action in this battle!"

"You're personally taking action? That's a sure thing!" Bai Yuan put down her teacup, laughing and crying at the same time. "There are still more than three years until the competition, right? At your cultivation speed, you'll probably be a Title Douluo by then!"

"Who can conjure up a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Title Douluo to fight you?! Hahahahahaha!"

"What Elder Bai says is quite right, but based on my understanding of the cult leader, he should already have his own ideas by now!"

Feng Ling, who was to Qian Lingyun's left, looked at her with a smile and gestured, "Master, please just say what you mean, and we'll do as you say!"

"Vice Leader, you flatter me!" Qian Lingyun smiled awkwardly, tapped the table lightly with her index finger a few times, and asked, "As far as I know, many evil spirit masters who cause trouble within the Sun Moon Empire are not disciples of our Holy Spirit Sect."

"That's right! It's true! I encountered quite a few last year!" Wu Yun nodded, biting her index finger, to confirm.

"What's even more interesting is that there are quite a few of these guys; the vast majority of them are from the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent who came here!"

"Moreover, they take advantage and run, making it seem like all the evil spirit masters on the continent originated from here!"

Wu Yun's words hit the nail on the head, drawing everyone's attention.

While the elders were discussing the issues among themselves, Qian Lingyun spoke up:

"Xiaoyun is absolutely right! This is exactly the situation I hate! They're clearly not members of my Holy Spirit Cult, yet they're taking up a lot of our Holy Spirit Cult's resources."

"What's even more infuriating is that these idiots who hoard resources sometimes use our name to do bad things, almost exposing our existence. Do you really think there's such a good thing in the world?!"

"Does the Cult Leader have any good ideas?" Nightmare Douluo cautiously raised his hand and said weakly, "After all, we're all evil soul masters, so we're practically on the same side! The old Cult Leader usually turns a blind eye to these kinds of things!"

"The old leader is the old leader, and I am me! You say they're our own people? Have they put any effort into our Holy Spirit Cult?" Qian Lingyun grew angrier the more she thought about it, and complained with dissatisfaction:

"Even close brothers keep clear accounts! They're occupying our resources on our territory, and we, the Holy Spirit Church, are expected to take the blame! In my eyes, Qian Lingyun, such a thing is impossible!"

"So..." Wan Hun Douluo exchanged glances with the others beside him, then cautiously asked, "Then... what does the Sect Leader mean?"

"Since they're not our own people, they should still be considered part of our resources! I plan to have the Holy Soul Hall not only send its branches throughout the Sun Moon Empire to awaken martial souls in every corner, but also to open a commission function!"

"A delegation function? What delegation? It sounds... kind of interesting!" Darren looked at Qian Lingyun with shining eyes, his left hand twirling the dagger back and forth like a shimmering silver plate!

"Then naturally I'll accept the commission to hunt down evil soul masters. I'll turn those freeloaders who mooch off me into shiny gold soul coins in our pockets!"

"Let those who have been harmed by evil spirit masters pay for our services! I believe that we ourselves are the most professional at dealing with wild evil spirit masters!"

Upon hearing this, the elders and deities present basically understood what Qian Lingyun meant.

Qian Lingyun's plan is to eliminate all the powerless, wild evil spirit masters within the Sun Moon Empire, so that the Holy Soul Hall can claim to be doing a good deed for the people!

Wow, that's ruthless!

"Master, this idea is good, but after setting up the commission system, where will our own people cultivate?" Feng Ling couldn't contain her shock and whispered a reminder, "Our own people also need to cultivate! What if the commission involves our own people?"

"It's very simple. Our people will go to the original Douluo Continent's Three Kingdoms to cultivate, and drive all the evil soul masters there to the Sun Moon Empire. Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful!"

"Huh!?" ×n

Upon hearing this, the entire audience fell silent. Even the titled Douluo, evil soul masters who were ruthless killers, had to admire Qian Lingyun's move!
