Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

"They will target Xiaoyao Pavilion's partners, they will target Xiaoyao Pavilion's businesses, and they will treat Xiaoyao Pavilion as a piece of fat meat that can be divided at will."

Xu Yanli stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Xu Feng.

"Sect Leader Xu, with this tear, you have torn away the reputation that my Xiaoyao Pavilion has built up over the past six years, torn away the livelihoods of countless people, and torn away my face, Xu Yanli's face."

He turned around, and sunlight streamed in from the window beside him, casting his face in half-light and half-shadow.

Half of it is bathed in sunlight, and the other half is immersed in darkness.

"So, how do you think this should be resolved?"

Xu Feng's face turned ashen, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He realized he had made a fatal mistake.

He thought the Xiaoyao Pavilion was just an ordinary merchant organization, he thought Xu Yanli was just a talented young man, and he thought that at most this matter would offend an emerging power, and incidentally show off the strength of their Xuanming Sect.

He never expected that the Limit Douluo was standing behind the Free and Unfettered Pavilion.

The fact that he has a Limit Douluo means that there are many Title Douluos behind him. He has really bitten off more than he can chew this time.

"What do you want?" Xu Feng asked through gritted teeth.

Xu Yanli sat back down in his chair, the coldness on his face disappearing, replaced by his usual gentle smile.

"It's very simple."

He held up three fingers.

"First, the Xuanming Sect publicly apologized to the Xiaoyao Pavilion and admitted its mistake."

"Secondly, the Xuanming Sect has formally established a cooperative relationship with our Xiaoyao Pavilion. In the future, our Xiaoyao Pavilion's businesses in the Tianhun Empire will need the protection of the Xuanming Sect."

"third……"

Xu Yanli paused, his gaze falling on Xu Feng's face.

"Sect Leader Xu, please go to the Body Sect in person and help me make an introduction."

Xu Feng suddenly stood up: "You've gone too far!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.

Long Xiaoyao's aura pressed down on Xu Feng as if it were a tangible force, rendering him unable to move.

"Going too far?" Xu Yanli chuckled. "When Sect Leader Xu was destroying things, did you ever think about whether you were going too far?"

He stood up, walked to Xu Feng, and looked up at the titled Douluo.

I'll give you two choices.

"First, do as I say, and the Xuanming Sect will continue to exist and develop; it will simply have one more partner."

"second……"

Xu Yanli's voice was as soft as a breeze, yet it sent chills down Xu Feng's spine.

“I will find a sect leader who is willing to cooperate.”

Xu Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He understood.

The boy wasn't threatening him; he was simply stating a fact.

A Limit Douluo is fully capable of replacing a sect leader, and if they were to be even more aggressive, they might even be able to destroy a sect.

"You...you dare?" Xu Feng's voice trembled.

Xu Yanli tilted his head, his smile still gentle, but it instilled in Xu Feng an unprecedented fear.

"Sect Leader Xu, do you think I dare?"

Xu Yanli watched the sect leader leave, then slowly sat down and drank the tea in one gulp.

Long Xiaoyao suddenly spoke up from the side: "I will protect you until you become a Title Douluo."

Xu Yanli raised an eyebrow and looked at Long Xiaoyao, carefully observing his eyebrows and eyes.

Then he suddenly chuckled, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face, and finally got up and went to the back room.

"Teacher," Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask, "aren't you afraid that Sect Master Xu will go back on his word?"

Xu Yanli withdrew his gaze and looked at his disciple.

"Go back on your word?" He chuckled. "He won't."

"why?"

“Because he’s a smart man.” Xu Yanli leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. “Smart men know that once a choice is made, there’s no going back.”

Chapter 39 Heading to the Body Sect

Huo Yuhao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Gu Yuena quietly watched Xu Yanli's profile, her eyes flashing with contemplation and an indescribable emotion.

This human was more interesting than she had imagined.

No, it's not just interesting.

It is dangerous.

A kind of danger that makes you want to get closer.

Night fell in Tiandou City, but the courtyard of Xiaoyao Pavilion remained brightly lit.

Xu Yanli sat at the stone table, looking at the documents in front of him, his fingers tapping the stone table little by little.

It must be said that in some aspects, the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence department is quite good, as are some materials from the Xuanming Sect.

Xu Yanli slowly flipped through the documents.

The Body Sect, the number one sect in the Heavenly Soul Empire, is led by the undying Poison...

He already knew all of this; it wasn't important.

For Xu Yanli, what he really cared about were the last few pages of information.

The royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire is largely wary of and suspicious of the Body Sect. It could even be said that the rapid development of the Xuanming Sect was partly due to the support from the Heavenly Soul Empire, which hoped that the Xuanming Sect could rival the Body Sect in the future.

Although the princess was sent to the Body Sect, the greater intention was to bind her to that arrogant dragon.

Xu Yanli slowly closed the document and smiled: "As expected, all crows are black. No matter how good the cooperation is, it can't withstand suspicion in the end."

Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, asked with a puzzled look, "Teacher, the Body Sect is so resistant to soul tools, but our Free and Unfettered Pavilion sells soul tools, right? How can we cooperate with them?"

“Rejecting soul tools doesn’t mean rejecting everything else.” Xu Yanli stood up, walked to the window, and gently caught a sliver of moonlight in his hand, smiling as he said, “What they want is the continuation of their sect, what they want are successors…”

Xu Yanli turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao and said with a soft laugh, "And we have what he wants most."

"What is that?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking confused.

Xu Yanli smiled but didn't say anything, only looking calmly at Huo Yuhao.

After a long while, Xu Yanli spoke again, "What level are you now?"

"Level 16," Huo Yuhao replied.

Xu Yanli nodded and said, "Tell your little bug that he wanted to give you the item for your second martial soul. I'll take it, but I'll make better arrangements for yours."

Xu Yanli actually knew that his martial soul didn't need these things much, but didn't he still have Meng Hongchen and the others?

Moreover, rather than sacrificing himself, he might as well transform into human form and stay by his side, which would also make the top combat force of the Xiaoyao Pavilion even stronger.

He had some guesses about Long Xiaoyao, but he knew that this person wouldn't stay with him forever, after all, the Holy Spirit Cult still had his old lover.

The next morning, Xu Feng, the sect leader of the Xuanming Sect, paid a visit.

His complexion was much better than yesterday, but there was still a hint of apprehension in his eyes—especially when he saw the masked figure in the corner.

"Sect Master Xu," Xu Feng said respectfully, "I have done as you said, and I will take you to the Body Sect today."

Xu Yanli smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master Xu."

Xu Yanli led Huo Yuhao away from Xiaoyao Pavilion, through the bustling streets of Tiandou City, and arrived at a range of mountains in the north of the city.

The Body Sect is located in this mountain range.

At the mountain gate, two disciples of the Body Sect blocked the way.

Who goes there?

Xu Feng stepped forward: "Xu Feng, Sect Master of Xuanming Sect, requests an audience with the Poison Sect Master."

The two disciples exchanged a glance, and one of them said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and inform them."

A moment later, a burly middle-aged man walked out from inside the mountain gate.

His aura seemed very powerful; he should be a Title Douluo-level expert.

"Sect Leader Xu?" The middle-aged man's gaze swept over Xu Feng, then landed on Xu Yanli. "And this gentleman is?"

"Elder of the Body Sect, Fist Douluo Zhang Fan." Xu Feng lowered his voice and introduced him to Xu Yanli, then stepped forward.

"Elder Zhang, this is Xu Yanli, the Pavilion Master of Xiaoyao Pavilion. He has something to ask the Poison Sect Master."

Zhang Fan's gaze swept over Xu Yanli, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiaoyao Pavilion? The one that sells soul-guided artifacts?"

Xu Yanli remained neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Elder Zhang, it is indeed I."

Zhang Fan scoffed, "The Poison Sect Master doesn't see outsiders, especially merchants who sell soul-guided artifacts. Please leave."

Xu Yanli did not move.

He raised his head and looked directly into Zhang Fan's eyes.

"Elder Zhang, what if I told you I could heal the Poison Sect Master's hidden injuries?"

Xu Yanli knew that even the healing angels in this world could not compare to the healing power of his martial soul, which was a prayer angel capable of reviving people.

This is also one of his bargaining chips.

Anything can be used to achieve the goal, including oneself.
