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

Chapter 368 425426—Rakshasa God: You're going a bit too far!

"My beloved concubine! Are you trying to murder me?"

The moment she smashed through the window, Qian Renxue quickly transformed back into Xu Tianran. She fell into the lotus pond with a splash, crying out, "Oh dear, someone come to my rescue!"

However… all the maids in the entire palace just stood in the corridor and coldly watched her. Some of them even had their soul tools exposed from behind!

Oh! I forgot, all the maids in the central palace are soul masters of the Rose Soul Master Corps, and they only obey Qian Lingyun's orders. They can't even control her.

In other words, even if Qian Lingyun suddenly had the idea to become the empress herself, these soul masters would be eager to join her in rebellion.

Just as the atmosphere in the garden became incredibly strange, Qian Lingyun kicked open the door and waved her hand at the surrounding Soul Masters, shouting, "Disperse! Haven't you ever seen a couple arguing? Go about your own business!"

Upon hearing this, the cold indifference on the faces of the Soul Masters vanished. They packed all their equipment into their storage Soul Guidance Devices, lined up in three columns, and strode away, leaving the huge central palace to the quarrelsome couple.

"Aren't you going to help me up?" Qian Renxue lazily lay back in the water, raising an eyebrow with a playful smirk. "If the Empress doesn't help me up, I'm not leaving!"

"Oh! Then you can stay soaking there!" Qian Lingyun said irritably, sitting down in the pavilion with a leisurely air. "I'd like to see how long Your Majesty can lie in the water!"

"..." Qian Renxue's lips twitched a few times. She tried to get up several times, but seemed to feel somewhat embarrassed, so she angrily soaked in the water, glaring fiercely at Qian Lingyun.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and Qian Renxue was still soaking in the pool, motionless…

Qian Lingyun smashed the coral table in front of her with a punch, gritting her teeth as she said, "You really won't get up?"

"I won't get up! Unless you help me up!" Qian Renxue was thinking of being modest a few more times, and then 'reluctantly' getting up the next time Qian Lingyun spoke up.

Who would have thought... that their empress seemed to be in a bad mood, overturned the table, and left without even turning her head...

"It's over! Something's happened!" Qian Renxue knew Qian Lingyun's personality well, and the current situation was still very serious.

She hurriedly climbed out of the pool and rushed out of the main gate of the palace to apologize, only to find a large group of people standing at the gate.

Qian Lingyun was leaning against the wall, watching the door with great interest. As soon as she saw him come out, she asked him in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, you can come out by yourself now! I thought you were going to live in the lotus pond in the Empress's palace and become a mermaid without anyone to help you!"

"Um, I was wrong! Please don't be angry with me, Your Majesty!?" Qian Renxue awkwardly scratched the back of her head, suppressing her embarrassment, and carefully apologized.

"Hmm! How could that be!? Your Majesty has done nothing wrong! The fault lies with me. I threw Your Majesty into the lotus pond to become a mermaid, a crime deserving of death. How about letting me go to the Cold Palace to calm down for a few days!?"

Qian Lingyun suppressed a laugh while speaking with a straight face, and the maids around her lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, for fear of bursting out laughing because they saw through the empress's exaggerated acting...

Just as Qian Renxue was at a loss, a maid who was obsessed with shipping the two characters telepathically reminded her, "Your Majesty... the Empress isn't angry, she's just teasing you! Now all you need to do is rush over and offer her some incense, and that'll surely calm her down!"

"Huh?" Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback. She looked up and, sure enough, she saw a fleeting smile in Qian Lingyun's eyes.

Well, you dare to play me for a fool?!

After realizing what had happened, Qian Renxue was filled with rage and malice!

Ignoring her own disheveled state, soaked to the bone, she hoisted Qian Lingyun onto her shoulder and headed towards the central palace.

The maids around her pretended not to hear Qian Lingyun's "cries for help," tilting their heads at a 45-degree angle to look up at the sky, pretending to be admiring the scenery.

The Empress didn't dodge the Emperor's flamboyant actions. What does that mean?

This shows that this crazy couple is really enjoying themselves! To "rescue" someone in a situation like this requires an incredibly poor eye for judgment!

No one knows exactly what happened, but the maids in the Queen's palace felt that the battle was extremely fierce.

The battle lasted from before sunset until sunrise the following day…

On the third day, Qian Renxue, who had accumulated two days' worth of work, could no longer wander around the harem without restraint, and Qian Lingyun also finally got a short break.

That night, she arrived at a desolate mountain in the northwest corner of Mingdu, where there was a huge defensive fortification in the valley.

On the ground, a full thirty Apocalypse Tanks were hidden in bunkers, rotating their cannons to scan the surroundings, while half of the Rose Soul Corps was stationed on the mountainside.

"Le Xuan?"

As soon as she landed, Qian Lingyun went straight to the command post on the mountaintop. As the vice leader of the Rose Soul Master Corps, Zhang Lexuan looked down at the valley from her high position, seemingly on guard against something.

"Master!" Zhang Lexuan stood up from her office chair and walked a few steps to Qian Lingyun's side.

Although the joy in her voice was undeniable, so was the melancholy in the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there some trouble?" Qian Lingyun pulled up a chair and sat down in the main seat. She asked the other senior soul master at the door with a hint of helplessness, "Give me a report!"

"Yes, Master!"

This spiritual mentor, who came from the Holy Spirit Cult, has not changed his tune to this day, but of course, Qian Lingyun doesn't care about that.

"During this period, while our various Holy Soul Hall branch halls were busy eliminating wandering evil soul masters, they were also monitoring the movements of the Shrek Academy's surveillance team!"

"Currently, we're not only harboring quite a few evil spirit masters who weren't specifically tasked with killing, but we're also holding... more than ten students from Shrek Academy's inner court!"

"Shrek's inner courtyard only has a little over a hundred people in total, and you've locked up ten here?! You guys are really capable!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, exclaiming in admiration. Suddenly, she asked:

"Can you tell me how you captured these Shrek Surveillance Team guys?!"

"It's just a simple case of entrapment!" The Soul Master thought for a moment and then explained everything in detail.

Oh, I see!

In recent years, Shrek Academy has been making constant moves, with teams of one or two frequently going to the Sun Moon Empire to cause trouble.

The Holy Soul Hall secretly selected suitable targets from the commissions they received and then delivered them to Shrek Academy through various means.

After the Shrek Academy's surveillance team members have worked hard to help them complete their task, they will contact the Soul Master Corps to surround the area.

Leaving behind a Title Douluo might be difficult, but the rest... escaping won't be so easy...

Although the person was imprisoned in an underground prison, the Sun Moon faction maintained a unified front: he was executed on the spot, leaving no way to verify the facts. Even if Shrek Academy spared no effort in searching, they couldn't find any clues!

"What a talent!" Qian Lingyun pulled a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from her storage soul tool and casually tossed it into the soul master's hand. "A reward for whoever came up with this method!"

"Master..." The Soul Master suddenly blocked Qian Lingyun's path, cautiously asking, "What should we do with those Shrek Academy students?"

"You can decide this yourself! Go ask which elder in our sect needs high-level Soul Masters as materials, and come get them yourself!"

Qian Lingyun didn't even blink, effectively announcing the fate of these Shrek Academy students.

"Yes!" After the Soul Master left, Qian Lingyun suddenly asked Zhang Lexuan, "Among those Shrek academy students, do you know anyone?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Lexuan paused slightly, then nodded frankly.

"I see!" Qian Lingyun paused, then asked, "I remember they were all imprisoned separately here, right? How many of them recognized you?"

"One!" Zhang Lexuan answered seriously after thinking for a moment.

"Then... the one who recognized you is yours, and the others..." Qian Lingyun mischievously made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Hmm!" Zhang Lexuan nodded, seemingly quite pleased with Qian Lingyun's decision.

After Zhang Lexuan left, Qian Lingyun picked up a list and carefully flipped through it for a while.

Hundreds of evil spirit masters are imprisoned here, and they are said to be ruthless and unruly.

Although they are not very controllable, these guys do have some value...

After everything was ready, Qian Lingyun entered the dungeon and gathered all the wild evil spirit masters in the dungeon to a square.

Hundreds of people gathered in the square. It may not sound like a lot, but don't forget, these are all Soul Masters!

Moreover, the vast majority of them are powerful evil spirit masters. Once this group of evil spirit masters can be controlled, it will definitely become a powerful force!

Qian Lingyun arrived at the center of the square, on the large platform. Looking at the chaotic audience below, a cold glint flashed across her face. Perhaps, they didn't necessarily need to obey...

Amidst the murmuring whispers, Qian Lingyun took a sharp breath and spoke in her voice, which had encompassed everyone and was chillingly cold:

"You are a pathetic and weak rabble! I really regret coming to see this garbage!"

Upon hearing this, several troublemakers immediately roared angrily.

Then, in full view of everyone, these troublemakers were squeezed into meatballs by an invisible force. Qian Lingyun sneered and said:

"Silence! No one is allowed to make a sound while I am speaking!"

The voice was icy cold and chilling, and everyone felt fear and dared not utter a sound!

"I can see that even though you fools don't recognize me, you at least know how to respect the strong and powerful! Let me introduce myself! I am the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult! The God of Evil Soul Masters!"

No one in the audience dared to speak. They silently watched Qian Lingyun, but their eyes revealed blatant fear.

Qian Lingyun saw this fear and was secretly pleased. She laughed and said, "You ants, I only need one soul skill to wipe you all out. So, do you want to die a painful death, or live?"

Seeing the silence below the stage, Qian Lingyun said, "Those who kill must be prepared to be killed! I will only count to ten! Either kneel down and submit to me, or become the power of other evil soul masters!"

"one!"

As soon as the first number was counted, some people began to kneel down.

"two!"

As the second number fell, another group of people, either out of fear of death or admiration for strength, knelt down tremblingly.

"Five!" Qian Lingyun skipped the number, and just one word made even more people kneel down.

After a brief glance around, Qian Lingyun paused, then directly and sharply ordered in a low voice, "Ten!"

Before the kneeling evil spirit masters could react, they saw the group of hotheads being thrown out.

The kneeling evil spirit masters showed no pity, only gloating laughter as they shouted, "Holy Spirit Cult! Holy Spirit Cult! Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Truly a wicked spirit master who behaves like a stray dog! He's far inferior to those wicked spirit masters of my Holy Spirit Cult who possess impeccable manners!"

Frowning as she watched the more than five hundred evil spirit masters left behind frolicking around, Qian Lingyun lowered her head with a look of disgust.

I really don't understand!

Why are they all evil spirit masters? These people in front of me are just pure lunatics, while the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult can dress properly and speak logically. Apart from liking to hang rabbits on their waists, they are no different from normal people.

It's true what they say: comparisons are odious!

What Qian Lingyun didn't know was that the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult only appeared normal.

As people who were once abandoned by the world, they can be as kind as a benevolent elder to those who are friendly to them.

But... when it comes to being ruthless, the highly educated evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, who have diligently practiced their unique skills and secret techniques and are skilled in manipulating soul tools, are far superior to this rabble!

"Le Xuan, take these people away!"

After tolerating the group of evil soul masters who were willing to obey her orders running wild for a while, Qian Lingyun dismissed everyone from the Rose Soul Master Corps. Only then did she turn around and, without hesitation, use her terrifying soul power to subdue the more than three hundred evil soul masters who had refused to obey her orders.

Step by step, Qian Lingyun descended the high platform, chanting: "The misery of the human world is like a grand feast to me; resentment transforms into scythe light, tearing all living beings apart! The Prison of Rakshasa!"

Soon, a chilling, terrifying purple aura, so intense that even evil spirit masters trembled, emerged from the ground. It enveloped these evil spirit masters, dragging them into a world that was both real and unreal.

Opening her eyes, Qian Lingyun subconsciously turned around and looked at her side. A seductive woman was also looking at her with great curiosity. The woman was wearing dark blue armor and her eyes were full of evil.

However, Qian Lingyun felt a comfortable aura emanating from her.

"Hehehe!" The sinister woman chuckled softly, and slowly said:

"The last examinee was utterly hopeless; his progress in the first eight exams was clearly good, yet he spent twenty years stuck on the ninth exam!"

"She could have just killed a lot of people to speed up the Nine Examinations, but she insists on painstakingly cultivating on her own. It really makes me angry!"

"Is that so! It seems you are my senior, the first generation of Rakshasa God!" Qian Lingyun looked at this strangely alluring and voluptuous woman... and suddenly asked, "What do you think of me as a divine examiner?"

"You?" The first Rakshasa god thought for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed in admiration:

"You completed nine exams in five years! If you weren't still at level ninety-nine, you'd already be a god! You're the most talented exam-taker I've ever seen, bar none!"

"Compared to your predecessor, that foolish woman who only knew how to rely on brute force, you, who have fully developed abilities such as seduction and depravity, are the true demon!"

"So, why did you bring those useless trash in here? Are you going to brainwash them and turn them into lackeys? Or are you going to slaughter them all for a blood sacrifice?" The First Rakshasa God pointed at the group of evil soul masters, his eyes lighting up, and praised them repeatedly, "They all seem great!"

"No!" Qian Lingyun shook her head and sneered, "Killing them is too wasteful, and brainwashing them is too much trouble. I want to directly seize their souls, then put the souls of those undead creatures that obey me into them, and then control them at will..."

"You're far more ruthless than me!" The first Rakshasa God stared at Qian Lingyun in disbelief, muttering, "I knew it! How could you possibly complete the Nine Trials so quickly! You must be killing hundreds of people every day!"

"Pretty much!" Qian Lingyun looked at the Luo Sha Shen with a sigh, hesitated for a moment, and admitted, "I usually kill a three-digit number of sea spirit beasts in the gap between getting up and having breakfast..."

"And at other times?" asked the Rakshasa god.

"Killing non-stop, from the end of breakfast until midnight snack time..."

"You... are going a bit too far!" Rakshasa looked at Qian Lingyun's calm expression as if he had seen a ghost.

She goes on a killing spree when she's unhappy, while Qian Lingyun might be unhappy if she doesn't go on a killing spree.

She had a narrow-minded viewpoint; it was hers. She had originally intended to corrupt the girl further, but now it seemed she was already thankful that she hadn't been led astray by the girl!

"I feel like I could tattoo half of you with your eyes closed on my back, but any more and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it..."

On that day, the first Rakshasa God spoke the truth.
