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

Chapter 339 367368—Operation Objective, Turbulence at Shrek

Before entering, Luo Li suddenly stopped Qian Lingyun and tentatively asked, "Um, I'm thinking of having you model my new clothes, what do you think?"

"Ah! A model?" Qian Lingyun looked at Luo Li with some surprise, then nodded, "Sure! I happen to own a business in Mingdu and need a lot of new styles of clothing!"

"Your business isn't the Ordinary Alliance, is it?" Luo Li tentatively took out an invitation from Shangguan Wei'er and waved it in front of Qian Lingyun!

"That's really true..."

Nodding silently, Qian Lingyun asked, "So, Shangguan Weier and you..."

"Shangguan Wei'er from the Ordinary Alliance offered me a huge sum of money to be their chief designer, but I haven't decided whether to accept or not, so I haven't replied to her yet!"

"Since you two have this relationship, let's agree to her request after we return from Shrek City!"

"That's wonderful! With you, my godmother, such a top-notch tailor, joining us, I'm sure we'll sell like hotcakes!"

With a smile and her eyes narrowed, Qian Lingyun took the lead and entered the restaurant.

On the dining table, a huge feast of whole rabbit dishes was on display, dazzling the eye.

"We're all family, no need to be so formal, let's eat! The food won't want to get cold!"

Yuma held a small, exquisite glass cup, took a sip of the wine in it, and casually placed a golden, bone-like object on the table.

"This fell out of the rabbit's belly while I was processing the food. It's not of much use to me! Anyone who wants it can take it!"

"This is a soul bone?! It looks like a torso!?" Qian Lingyun said casually, chewing on a rabbit ear.

A 60,000-year-old Lightning Rabbit torso soul bone would be enough to make many Title Douluos fight tooth and nail for it, but to her, it was just an ordinary thing!

If we're really talking about how useful this thing is to her, it's probably that it can be considered an asset, which she can sell for money when necessary...

"My soul bones are already complete, I don't need any more! Godmother, you can accept them!"

After picking up the torso and soul bone from the table and stuffing it into Luo Li's pocket, Qian Lingyun picked up a rabbit ear from the plate and lovingly held it to Yuma's mouth:

"Come on, Mom, you've worked so hard, eat more!"

"You silly child!"

Yuma gave Qian Lingyun a reproachful look, but didn't refuse. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and bit Qian Lingyun's chopsticks.

The dishes had five flavors.

Qian Lingyun and the other two sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and discussed their plans after going to Shrek City!

Our shameless "master screenwriter" Qian Lingyun meticulously wrote a whole script to frame someone else.

Connect the Body Sect with Cai Meier's disappearance:

It was a dark and windy night when the brave, fearless warriors of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team, who dared to fight against the evil spirit masters, successfully infiltrated the evil spirit masters' lair!

In a fierce and arduous battle, the Shrek warriors finally managed to defeat the evil spirit master!

Just then, a Title Douluo from the Body Sect and a Title Douluo from the Evil Soul Master appeared with a group of pursuers.

They seemed to have some shady deal, as they simultaneously launched an attack on the exhausted Shrek team.

Caught completely off guard, all the warriors of the Shrek Inspection Team were killed!

She was the only one who was besieged by two Title Douluos, and unfortunately, she was seriously injured and captured.

For more than a year, she endured humiliation and hardship, and finally seized the opportunity to escape when the guards were lax.

During that year, she learned many things, such as that many powerful forces had spies sent out by evil spirit masters, who were waiting for a reliable opportunity to betray the major forces.

Qian Lingyun believed that, based on the average intelligence of Douluo people, her fabricated explanation, although flawed, was not numerous.

Most importantly, they can cover up lies!

The mere fact that a long-lost Title Douluo from the Body Sect is involved with an Evil Soul Master Title Douluo is enough to get the Shrek Academy group on edge!

What's more, she even fabricated a spy out of thin air... no, she actually sent a spy!

It seems that this trip to Shrek Academy will not only involve bringing He Caitou back to sell to her father-in-law, but also bringing Yun Shan back with her. This girl is quite good; we can't let her fail there…

No!

Luo Li, disguised as Cai Meier, was supposed to leave with her after she captured He Caitou!

Even if the old folks at Shrek Academy have an average IQ lower than Earthlings, they'll definitely notice something's wrong when 'Cai Meier' returns and then disappears again.

By then, they will basically automatically conclude that the so-called traitor Cai Meier does not actually exist.

Because if what Cai Meier said about the traitor is true.

The traitor could have easily escaped with "Cai Meier"!

It's impossible that Cai Meier would risk so much to run back to the Sea God Pavilion and ramble on and on just to trick her own traitor!

The most dangerous place is often the safest place. It seems that Yunshan will have to stay at Shrek Academy for a few more days!

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but sigh, after confirming that Luo Li had memorized the script perfectly.

Even if they could talk nonsense with their eyes closed, just as seriously as he did, the three of them finally set off for Shrek Academy.

Of the three, Yuma was undoubtedly the fastest flyer, while Luo Li shamelessly hopped on Qian Lingyun's gourd flying device!

On the gourd-shaped flying machine, Luo Li, sitting in the back seat, was racing against time.

After the aircraft flew smoothly above the clouds, she took out the golden torso soul bone and began to absorb it directly.

It was clear that she wasn't as calm as she appeared when it came to spouting nonsense about infiltrating Shrek Academy's most dangerous place; on the contrary, she was quite nervous.

Therefore, I want to improve my strength as much as possible in a short period of time!

After a night of continuous flight, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Shrek City the following morning…

"The Ordinary Alliance has so many branches, why open one in Shrek City?!"

After entering Shrek City, Luo Li looked at the diverse people on the street and couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe! I'd like to open one too, but the expenses in Shrek City are just too high!" Qian Lingyun's lips twitched, as if she was thinking of some unpleasant experience. "The taxes for opening a shop in Shrek City are very high. Not only is the land price expensive, but the rent is also charged monthly!"

"Given your net worth, you can afford it! There's no reason why..."

Before Luo Li finished speaking, Qian Lingyun led them around the flower garden and to a three-story teahouse.

Hu Yanyun has been booking a private room on the top floor for years, and only she and Qian Lingyun have the key!

With a creak, Qian Lingyun pushed open the tightly closed door and frowned as she looked at the gloomy room.

"Hmm? Has she not been here for a long time?"

Walking to the coffee table, Qian Lingyun stretched out a finger and gently slid it across the surface before examining it closely.

Sure enough, a thin layer of dust was on my fingers.

This level of dust must have gone uncleaned for several days. Thinking about it, a faint sense of foreboding welled up in Qian Lingyun's heart.

She took out her communication device and pressed Hu Yanyunshan's channel, but all she received in response was a long silence and static.

At this moment, Qian Lingyun was basically certain that Hu Yanyunshan was in trouble!

I just don't know the specifics of the situation right now!

"What's wrong?" Yuma noticed Qian Lingyun's gloomy expression and, sensing something was amiss, quickly asked, "Is something the problem?"

"It's nothing! Just a small problem, I can fix it!"

Qian Lingyun shook her head expressionlessly, but the sapphire crown appeared directly on her forehead.

The teahouse is not far from Shrek Academy, only about seven or eight kilometers away. With her current mental strength, she can easily investigate the internal situation of Shrek Academy from her current location.

Selectively ignoring the freshman dormitory building and Poseidon Island where Moon frequently appeared, Qian Lingyun focused her detection range mainly on places with fewer people.

Six thousand meters is just the beginning.

Next came seven thousand meters, eight thousand meters, and nine thousand meters. When Qian Lingyun's mental probe reached ten thousand meters...

Only then did she begin to check each floor of Shrek Academy one by one.

There's no new student building, no lower grade area, no upper grade area, no cafeteria, and no playground.

Given Shrek's personality, it's unlikely he would place captured people in a core area like Poseidon Island.

It needs to be in a sparsely populated area, in a remote location, and ideally have many things that can confuse others...

So where would this place be?

Just as Qian Lingyun was racking her brains, a place she hadn't been to much caught her attention.

Colosseum area.

As the largest exclusive area of ​​the entire Shrek Academy and also the largest building in the academy, the Beast Fighting Area covers an area equal to the size of all the teaching buildings and dormitories of the Martial Soul Department plus Shrek Square.

This arena is mainly divided into two parts, one of which is the arena used for assessment.

The other part, which is inaccessible to ordinary students, is the area specifically for raising soul beasts, known as the Beast Pen.

If you hide someone inside, it's indeed not easy to find them!

After uttering a few minor complaints, Qian Lingyun channeled her spiritual power towards the area in the Beast Fighting Zone where soul beasts were raised.

As far as she knew, there were titled Douluo in this beast realm, but those titled Douluo did not possess any spiritual attributes, and their strength was definitely not higher than level ninety-five.

Since that's the case, then all we need to do is slightly conceal our emotional fluctuations!

This mental probing yielded many valuable insights for Qian Lingyun.

She could clearly discern the distribution of those soul beasts.

The captive spirit beasts were densely packed in the various compartments.

But to Qian Lingyun's surprise, there were far more soul beasts here than she had imagined!

"One hundred? No, five hundred? Still not right."

Qian Lingyun thought for a moment, then carefully examined the traces of the soul beasts. After quite a while, she finally concluded in her mind: over 1,100 soul beasts!

Among these thousand-plus soul beasts, the number of ten-thousand-year soul beasts is the smallest, only a few dozen; the majority of soul beasts are hundred-year or thousand-year soul beasts.

Continuing their exploration deeper, Qian Lingyun found Hu Yanyunshan, whose breath was faint, in the last beast cage.

At this moment, Hu Yanyunshan's hands were nailed to the wall with steel spikes, and she was locked up with several soul beasts.

"Mom! She's one of my women. Let's get this girl out of here first!"

The powerful spiritual force directly connected with Yuma's spiritual sea, sharing everything that Qian Lingyun had detected with her spiritual force with Yuma.

Looking at the Shrek Academy beast enclosure several kilometers away, Yuma gasped and couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness! Your mental strength is at the level of a Super Douluo!"

"It's alright, I guess!" Qian Lingyun nodded and told Yuma and the other person everything about her hastily devised rescue plan.

First, they split into two groups. Yuma and Luo Li secretly (unparalleled) infiltrated the beast pen, killed all the guards, and used the soul tool to destroy the fence of the beast pen, releasing all the soul beasts.

Qian Lingyun took advantage of the chaos to capture He Caitou.

This plan has a very high success rate. With Luo Li having a face just like Cai Meier's, it probably won't be difficult for her to enter the beast realm!

Once she went inside, Yuma went on a killing spree, slaughtering everyone who saw them. This was a perfect infiltration.

After Yuma released all the soul beasts using the mechanisms in the beast enclosure, Luo Li left with Hu Yanyunshan.

At that time, more than a thousand soul beasts rampaging through Shrek Academy would surely cause quite a disturbance!

At that time, Qian Lingyun will only need to make a small move to seize He Caitou, who has a bounty of 300 million, amidst the chaos.

In this way, they can both earn gold soul coins and cause trouble for Shrek Academy.

Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful!

Upon hearing that her mission had changed from infiltrating the wolf's den to rescuing people, Luo Li was visibly delighted. She excitedly asked:

"So, in other words, I don't need to sneak in and argue with those old monsters from Shrek Academy, right?"

"Right! After rescuing them, all we need is for Shrek Academy to be in chaos so we can safely evacuate!"

(Shrek City has five million people and taxes one hundred million. There are more than four million nine hundred thousand ordinary people in the city. The goal is to extract one hundred million gold soul coins from this group, which is an average of more than twenty gold soul coins from each person, and it is pure tax.)

A few dozen gold soul coins are enough for a family of three to cover their expenses for a year, but might not even be enough to pay taxes.

This is another instance of data veil being shrouded in mystery.

However, if Shrek Academy only provides subsidies to Soul Masters, then the expenses, even at the maximum limit, would only amount to a few million gold Soul Coins.

And look at the prices at Shrek Academy! Not to mention the cafeteria, Huo Zhongxian's grilled fish costs one gold coin, which is equivalent to half a month's living expenses for an ordinary person!

If we're really talking about exploitation, the Spirit Hall is less than one-twentieth of Shrek Academy's; theoretically, the Spirit Hall's expenses are spread evenly across the entire continent.

The most fun part is the abundance of income: tuition fees, accepting Soul Hunting quests (mentioned by Ma Xiaotao at the Starry Sky Auction in the original text), and the Treasure Pavilion.

Besides spending a third of the money in the arena, the Martial Soul system actually needs financial support from the Soul Guidance system!

Don't tell me Shrek Academy used all their money to maintain world peace! The money to build three Soul Master legions later on was just a drop in the ocean!

Yan Shaozhe even used soul-guided cannons to set off fireworks! (In reality, he didn't give any to the students to use!)
