Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

However, he no longer cared about his injuries and instead began to think about Ning Rongrong's identity.

First of all, there is no doubt that this is not the previous Seventh Elder.

Although they have never met, judging from the style of their previous meetings, the Seventh Elder could not possibly be a junior, nor could she be a woman.

Although he had some doubts during the meeting, he suppressed the thought by saying he was "excited about completing the task."

After that, in just a few seconds, more than ten hypotheses had already formed in his mind.

The most plausible explanation is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first discovered the details of the third Holy Maiden Ceremony, disrupted it, and then killed the original Seventh Elder to obtain the token!

Hu Yanzhen didn't have the habit of reading the latest news from the Holy Spirit Cult; he found it too troublesome and preferred to accumulate it before reading it. Therefore, he didn't check the information about the third Holy Maiden Ceremony.

But if that's really the case.

So why did the cult leader vouch for the Seventh Elder during the meeting, guaranteeing the completion of the third Holy Maiden ceremony? And why didn't the cult leader directly expose the fact that the Seventh Elder had been replaced?

As he pondered, he overturned his previous idea.

The cult leader is omniscient; he knows about the replacement of the Seventh Elder.

However, the cult leader did not do anything to the new Seventh Elder.

That requires several conditions:

First of all, replacing the Seventh Elder with the one in front of us can bring greater benefits to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Hu Yanzhen couldn't refute this point. The other party was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and was extremely wealthy. Compared to the previous Seventh Elder, he naturally brought greater benefits—but the premise was that the current Seventh Elder was loyal to the Holy Spirit Sect.

Secondly, the saintly ceremony was indeed completed.

To recap, the success of the ceremony is actually determined by the "birth of a saintess," while the person in charge is responsible for supervising the "elders."

The Holy Maiden is appointed by the elders, and the elders and those in charge only look at the token.

Whether the saintess was originally chosen, or whether the elders were the original ones, has nothing to do with whether the ceremony was completed.

So, the third saintly ritual was indeed completed, but the content was incorrect?

Regardless of the circumstances, completing the ceremony was indeed a great achievement.

That's somewhat plausible.

Third, the Seventh Elder would not do anything to betray the Holy Spirit Church.

Hu Yanzhen has a lot to complain about on this point.

Because the Seventh Elder already killed the previous Seventh Elder, and now he wants to kill him too...

This is completely detrimental to the development of the Holy Spirit Cult!

Ok?

Hu Yanzhen suddenly had an idea.

Is Ning Rongrong really here to kill him?

Although she intercepted the Purple Medicine convoy, it's possible that the Holy Spirit Cult sensed some danger and prevented him from doing so, including killing all his Elephant Armor Sect disciples—perhaps it was a tactic of sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

It was the Spirit Hall that noticed his unusual behavior with the Elephant Armor Sect, and Ning Rongrong came to protect him!

As for the Seventh Elder, it was because the previous Seventh Elder was too useless and was eliminated due to being at the bottom of the rankings.

Yes, only in this way can we explain why the cult leader did not kill Ning Rongrong directly!

The planned exchange was merely a smokescreen.

However, he misunderstood and decided on a whim to deliver the medicine in the middle of the night, which led to the group arriving at his door ahead of time.

It was perfectly reasonable for Ning Fengzhi and the others to launch an attack on him.

First of all, he hadn't yet confirmed his identity with Ning Rongrong.

Furthermore, Ning Rongrong's identity may not be the same as Ning Fengzhi's.

So, it was all a misunderstanding.

As long as he and Ning Rongrong confirm their identities, Ning Rongrong will definitely help him find a reason to make Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin stop!

Thinking this, he forcefully blocked Chen Xin's sword strike again, while his hand began searching for the elder's token.

Then, he revealed his Fifth Elder token. He quickly composed himself and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Ha ha……"

He laughed it off.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who were behind him, also stopped their attack when they saw this.

They were afraid that Huyan Zhen might resort to some kind of self-destruction.

After all, they had never seen Huyan Zhen's ninth soul skill.

If Huyan Zhen really learned some strange soul skills from the Holy Spirit Cult, that would be terrifying.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

To show his sincerity, he also released the martial spirit possession.

Ning Rongrong gave an amused "Oh".

She naturally recognized it as the Fifth Elder's token.

Great, looks like I don't need to reload the save file.

"Well, I noticed some strange noises coming from the back door earlier, which is why I didn't continue explaining to the two of them."

"Now that the crisis here has been resolved, we can continue our conversation."

Hu Yanzhen turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Feng and Chen Xin.

"Who parked this vehicle in my Xiangjia clan's territory?"

He pointed at the car and cursed.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

They only heard Hu Yanzhen say no, then saw Ning Rongrong take something out, and then Hu Yanzhen said that their Rongrong was the Seventh Elder...

After that, Hu Yanzhen became like this.

If you say that these things about the Elephant Armor Sect really have nothing to do with Huyan Zhen, who would believe that?

They looked at Huyan Zhen suspiciously, then at Ning Rongrong, wondering what Ning Rongrong meant.

What Ning Rongrong did was very simple—

"Grandpa Sword, I'm sure he's an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. Kill him!"

Chapter 100 Chen Xin vs. Hu Yanzhen

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin gripped his sword tightly and attacked Hu Yanzhen directly, while Ning Fengzhi's amplification followed in sync.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanzhen was taken aback.

no……

He spent a long time convincing himself that Ning Rongrong was on the same side as him, only to be told that the idea he had initially denied was correct; Ning Rongrong had come to kill him.

No... to be specific, Ning Rongrong came to kill the "elders"!

But why?

Hu Yanzhen simply couldn't understand it.

But there was no time to think about it anymore.

The Seven Kill Sword in Chen Xin's hand was already emitting a chilling sword aura over ten feet long, thanks to Ning Fengzhi's three amplifying soul skills: "Power," "Speed," and "Soul."

I'm about to hit him in the next second!

The Martial Soul has been infused, and the True Form of the Martial Soul has been activated once again!

However, he was still too slow to activate his soul skill, and the next second Chen Xin chopped off his arm—this was only after he had dodged slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Xin did not hesitate at all. He pointed the Seven Kill Sword forward, and a silver blade, refined to its extreme, pierced through the air.

Fourth Soul Skill!

"Roar--!"

In the face of life and death, Hu Yanzhen's beastly instincts erupted. He didn't even have time to angrily question Ning Rongrong about her betrayal; the intense shadow of death made him react with his most primal instincts.

His massive body twisted violently with a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size, and at the same time, a blinding diamond light burst forth once again!

This time, it's no longer a simple case of a martial spirit possessing a body.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Diamond Dust Wall!"

With a deafening roar, a ring of dazzling diamond energy crystals exploded around Hu Yanzhen! These crystals were an absolute defensive barrier formed by the combination of highly compressed and condensed soul power and martial soul essence.

They spun, collided, and recombined wildly around Hu Yanzhen, forming an impenetrable wall of diamond storms that were constantly being created and destroyed!

This was the ninth soul skill he comprehended after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, combining the ultimate defensive characteristics of his Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul with the strange energy brought by the Holy Spirit Scroll.

Boom—

Chen Xin's earth-shattering sword strike pierced fiercely into the swirling diamond dust wall!

A piercing cutting sound rang out! The silvery-white sword energy collided fiercely with the dazzling diamond-like starlight, and then annihilated.

The invincible sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword was temporarily entangled by the Diamond Dust!

The violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring, instantly crushing the wreckage of the convoy transporting the purple medicine into powder, and even plowing the ground with trenches several meters deep.

Ning Rongrong stumbled back for a long time before finally recovering.

When I take a break, I take drugs.

"What!" Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank sharply.

He knew the power of Chen Xin's sword. An ordinary titled Douluo would be crippled even if he took it head-on. Hu Yanzhen was only at level 92, yet he was able to block it head-on.

In addition to the formidable defensive power of the Diamond Mammoth, the Diamond Stardust Wall also contained an extremely cold, viscous, and corrosive strange energy, which was the unique aura of the Holy Spirit Cult!

Ning Fengzhi quickly realized that this power greatly enhanced the resilience of the defense and the speed of recovery!
