A Bite of Douluo Continent

"Then Your Majesty need not worry." Xu Changling's lips curled into a cold smile. "I believe Your Majesty will not live to see that scene."

"boom!"

The door to the main hall was shattered open with a single strike, and a figure wielding a blood-red longsword rushed in.

Even the remaining stars have fallen?

Dai Yuansheng slumped weakly onto the throne inlaid with countless precious gems, his face turning ashen.

He knew that the tide had turned against him.

...

Above the sky, terrifying fluctuations of soul power permeated almost the entire Star Luo City.

During the Cold Food Festival, Tang Qianqiu took a small sip of water from his cup, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

That disgusting, evil soul power, that chaotic spiritual energy filled with resentment and hatred, could be clearly perceived with almost no effort.

Are there really level 97 evil spirit masters?

Previously, Tang Sect spies discovered that the forces supporting Xu Changling included remnants of the former Spirit Hall as well as many evil spirit masters.

Evil Soul Masters are the common enemy of the continent. The Tang Clan has eradicated many of them over the years, and they are now irreconcilable enemies.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, Tang Qianqiu did not send Tang Clan disciples to take action, but planned to make further plans later, hoping to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

However, things are unpredictable and changes are always possible.

Yesterday, Xu Changling sent someone to deliver a letter, which concerned matters related to evil spirit masters.

Xu Changling hoped that the Tang Sect would cooperate slightly, allowing Tang Qianqiu to pretend to leave Xingluo City ahead of time to lower the enemy's guard. Once the evil soul masters showed up, the Tang Sect disciples and Xu Changling's forces would work together to wipe out all the evil soul masters in one fell swoop.

Tang Qianqiu originally didn't intend to pay attention to it. After all, Xu Changling's actions, under the guise of eliminating evil soul masters, were really just a way to get his Tang Clan disciples to help clean up the mess.

That's wishful thinking.

However, the fact that the other party mentioned in the letter was a level 97 evil spirit master made him have to reconsider.

Evil Soul Masters can increase their Soul Power extremely quickly, but they also have drawbacks. Because their Soul Power comes from sinister means, which are intolerable to Heaven and Earth, their Soul Power becomes more difficult to increase after reaching the Title Douluo level than that of normal Soul Masters.

It's already extremely rare for an evil soul master to reach the Super Douluo level, let alone one who is actually a level 97 evil soul master?

Such an existence is virtually invincible unless a Limit Douluo appears.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that such an evil soul master truly exists, Tang Qianqiu must nip him in the bud.

In any case, for Tang Qianqiu, it was just a matter of pretending to leave, nothing more than a small favor.

The Tang Clan cannot participate in the affairs of the Star Luo Empire, but evil soul masters are universally condemned. Is there a problem with Tang Qianqiu taking action?

no problem.

"Boss Qi, please get me a basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), a serving of boiled cabbage in clear broth, and a serving of Qing Dynasty-style braised pork." Standing up from his seat, Tang Qianqiu turned and left Hanshi.

"I'll be right back."

Chapter 226 Finding What's Lost

"puff!"

Once again repelled by the black-robed evil spirit master, the old man couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, using the opportunity to expel the evil power that had invaded his body.

A hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

A Soul Master's strength depends on both their Soul Power level and their age.

Among Soul Masters of the same Soul Power level, older people find it difficult to compete with younger people because they are willing but unable to do so.

This old man who was worshipping was actually over 150 years old, not far from the end of his lifespan, and his limit was 80% of his strength.

Moreover, his opponent was an evil spirit master. Every time that evil and strange power invaded his body, it seemed to wear down his already limited life force, leaving him feeling restricted and quite uncomfortable.

"Old man, you're already done for?" The hooded evil spirit master chuckled sinisterly, his voice as chilling as an owl's. "Level ninety-seven, nothing special."

The evil soul master was also very excited. Although he became stronger very quickly, he rarely fought against soul masters of the same level. Especially after reaching the titled Douluo level, he almost never revealed himself.

The reason is simple: if his evil spirit master power is exposed too early, it will inevitably attract endless pursuit and targeting, which terrifies him. When he was weak, he only dared to secretly slaughter ordinary people or collect vengeful spirits in places like graveyards to improve himself.

Having hidden for so long, this was the first time he had openly fought against a powerful opponent of the same level. However, this opponent, whose soul power was at the same level as his own, was not even a match for him.

This made him feel incredibly proud.

We evil spirit masters are so powerful!

Other Soul Masters of the same level are no match for them!

We no longer need to live like rats, hiding and concealing ourselves!

In the future, we must not only be open and aboveboard, but also build our own power!

This faction's name has to be imposing!

People say we are evil spirit masters?

Then I will take the name "Saint" and place this word "Saint" on my power, so that no one in the world will dare to mention the three words "Evil Soul Master" again!

Holy Spirit Cult!

Yes, this is great. I want to be the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult in the future!

Ambition burned fiercely within him, and when the evil spirit master looked at his opponent, the contempt in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.

"Ants!"

Yes, in his eyes, this frail old man was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, killing you would be an honor for you!

Perhaps every evil spirit master has a paranoid and neurotic side to their personality. This level 97 evil spirit master can be called an unparalleled powerhouse. His cultivation is so high, but his personality lacks the rationality that a normal powerhouse should have.

"Who are you referring to as ants?"

A voice suddenly came.

"I'm talking to you!" The evil spirit master sneered, but the next moment he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The one speaking... is not the Star Luo retainer in front of us!

He hurriedly turned his head, only to be met with a blue and gold spear.

The spear seemed to occupy his entire field of vision, its boundless spear intent surging forth, even causing ripples in the space itself.

The whole world seemed to fall into endless darkness at this moment. In the silent night, the blue-gold spear was the only color in the world, seemingly about to pierce through heaven and earth.

Do not!

Do not! !

The evil spirit master's pupils suddenly contracted.

He was all too familiar with that gun.

There is only one other gun in the world that can rival it.

This is a shot unique to Buddha Hand Douluo Tang Qianqiu.

Why is he here?

The evil spirit master's mind raced, and his reactions were extremely fast.

He let out a strange cry, and countless wronged souls roared and wailed in the void, creating a strong sense of discomfort that made people want to vomit.

Under his control, countless wronged souls rushed towards the spear like moths to a flame. These fragile souls were instantly reduced to ashes before they could even touch the spear, but the evil spirit master's desperate resistance ultimately had an effect.

Tang Qianqiu's gun was a fraction of a second slower.

In that instant, the evil spirit master decisively transformed into countless streaks of blood-red light, fleeing in all directions.

"Humph!"

Tang Qianqiu snorted coldly, and the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his hand multiplied into countless spears, annihilating a streak of blood light with a single strike.

However, there was simply too much blood and light. The evil spirit master fled too decisively, and even though Tang Qianqiu went all out from the start, he couldn't intercept them all. In the end, quite a few of the blood and light managed to escape.

The evil spirit master's voice, filled with endless resentment, slowly enveloped Star Luo City.

"Tang Qianqiu, I, Zhong Liqing, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, will avenge this grudge one day!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult..." Tang Qianqiu's eyes were filled with gloom, "Damn it!"

Evil Soul Masters actually have their own faction now?

...

"Keke, what are your plans for the future?"

Dai Youyuan's eyes were filled with a smile. After a more intimate conversation, he was even more satisfied with his nephew.

He suffered greatly from a young age, yet he possessed a kind and generous nature; such a character is truly rare.

So he couldn't help but want to make some plans for Keke's future.

After all, he was the child's only family.

What are your plans...?

Keke's eyes showed a hint of contemplation. After a long while, he asked with some hesitation, "Second Uncle, can I stay here?"

“Stay in Xingluo City? No problem.” Dai Youyuan indicated that it was not a big deal for him.

Although he was in the Zhen Dong Army, he was a prince of Xingluo and had his own princely residence in Xingluo City, so it wouldn't be a big problem for Keke to move in there.

"No... I mean... stay at Hanshi and continue working as a waitress." Keke gritted her teeth and finally voiced her thoughts.

He was very happy every day during the Cold Food Festival. Although he was busy when he was running the business, he felt very fulfilled.

It's really satisfying to serve dishes that bring a satisfied smile to your guests' faces!

It's a pity I lack culinary talent; otherwise, I'd probably feel even more accomplished cooking my own dishes.

“Uh…” Dai Youyuan was clearly surprised by Keke’s meaning. He looked at his nephew with some interest and asked, “Now that you know you are a member of the Star Luo royal family, don’t you want to live a better life?”

"A better life..." Keke was taken aback at first, then shook her head and a bright smile appeared on her face. "Second Uncle, I think I'm already very happy with my life, aren't I?"
