"Why, why is it always our Tang Sect that's so unlucky—"
At the Tang Sect headquarters in Shrek City, Zang Xin lay in the courtyard sunbathing, his eyes as dull as a puppet's, as if his Life Qi was about to dissipate.
Liang Xiaoyu, Zhao Song, and other Hall Masters comforted him, chattering, with several healing-type Spirit Masters on standby.
"Sect Leader, you only fainted once yesterday, you need to take care of your body now." "Sect Leader, the incident at the Dou Ling branch is already a huge blow, you can't have another accident." "Sect Leader, think, we still have the Star Luo branch!"
All kinds of comforting voices were incessant, and Zang Xin felt like he was about to explode. He scoffed twice, his shoulders trembling continuously with his face, which was as pale as gold paper.
"While I'm still conscious, quickly notify that bastard Cao Dezhi to come back. I, a Quasi-God, can't handle this mess anymore, I really can't—"
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was an old ally of Shrek and the Tang Sect. For a long time, there had been Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Geniuses enrolling in Shrek and joining the Tang Sect. The Star Luo Empire branch even had a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Titled Douluo Elder.
When the Federal Investigation Bureau was dealing with Evil Soul Masters, they discovered that the second master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had correspondence with Leng Yulai, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan provided strongholds for the Holy Spirit Cult in exchange for black market profits. They immediately wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and their methods were undeniably ruthless.
While they were protesting, a bolt from the blue came from next door, and the Tang Sect immediately became preoccupied with its own affairs; the Federation, however, quickly passed judgment on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. All the Titled Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were sent to the execution ground, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with its 20,000-year Legacy, was once again destroyed.
At the same time, the casualty figures from the Dou Ling Continent continued to rise, causing Zang Xin to take two doses of quick-acting heart medicine in his anxiety.
Anyway, he couldn't go to the Dou Ling Continent for revenge; going would be suicide.
"Vice Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader, good news, good news!"
A Titled Douluo rushed into the courtyard, his face flushed, shouting good news.
Zang Xin raised his head and looked at him, saying, "What good news? Is Yun Ming going to the Dou Ling Continent to hunt down the Underworld Emperor?"
"No, it's the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader is coming back."
The Titled Douluo excitedly said, "The Sect Leader learned that the Tang Sect has suffered repeated misfortunes and has already gone through the Blood God Legion channel to submit his resignation to the council, applying to be transferred back from the Blood God Legion to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult."
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately changed from oppressive to joyful.
"The Sect Leader is coming back?" "That's great! Our Tang Sect finally has a Quasi-God to oversee it!"
Zang Xin cursed, "He still has some conscience," then asked, "What about his position in the Blood God Legion? Who will take over?"
The Titled Douluo replied, "Qiangu Dongfeng of the Spirit Pagoda recommended Leng Yaozhu; on the military side, Le Zhengyang and Yu Guanjun volunteered to take over, saying they would fight to their last breath."
"Heh, Qiangu Dongfeng is truly ruthless. He admired Leng Yaozhu in his early years, but now for power, he can find a way to get rid of her."
Zang Xin pondered for a moment, a bitter, ambiguous smile appearing on his face: "Those old fellows from the Yu Family and Le Family are truly single-minded in dealing with evil forces."
The Titled Douluo continued, "Besides them, there's one more person: Mu Ye applied to oversee the Blood God Legion as the Body Sect Sect Master; but he isn't from one of the four major forces, so his chances are probably slim."
"Mu Ye—the Body Sect is truly united from top to bottom. They are putting all their effort into restoring the Sect's glory."
Zang Xin sighed, stood up from the lounge chair, stumbled two steps, steadied himself, his face regaining some Life Qi, and said with full vigor, "If they want to do things, we can't fall behind. Let's go! To Shrek, let Yun Ming and Long Yeyue go hunt down the Underworld Emperor."
"I know that due to this accident, many people in the Sect have opinions about Shrek, believing that their mistakes harmed us; I also have grievances, so let's all go together and discuss countermeasures."
Even brothers must settle accounts clearly. The Dou Ling branch represented the painstaking efforts of countless Tang Sect members over thousands of years, and now it was destroyed in an instant. Zang Xin couldn't possibly absolve Shrek.
"Sect Leader is wise!"
Everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with inexplicable sorrow.
At the Dou Ling branch, nearly ten Titled Douluo, led by the Level 97 Super Douluo Li Yun, had fallen. The meticulously built shipping routes and weapon resource reserves had fallen into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult. Just thinking about it made their hearts bleed.
"The expedition to Dou Ling is inevitable, Zang Xin, rest assured I will go, but I must wait for Senior Brother Cao to return first."
Below Sea God's Pavilion, Yun Ming met with Zang Xin, his troubled face radiating a determined look.
"Wait for him? Why?" Zang Xin asked, puzzled.
"Wait for him to take charge of the two major forces. This time, I must take Long Yeyue with me. I can't let her cause any more trouble." Yun Ming looked into the distance at Sea God's Pavilion, gritting his teeth.
Zang Xin remained silent.
On a small mountain outside the Gluttonous Profound Family's base, Feng Zaixing, dressed in military uniform, held binoculars and gazed at the vast land, muttering to himself, "Do they think they'll be safe by moving the Evil Soul Masters from the outpost? Since I've already come, how can I leave empty-handed?"
At fourteen, he was two meters tall and handsome, a physique he deliberately controlled.
At this moment, Sima Jinchi walked up, stood at attention, and saluted, saying, "Boss, Cao Dezhi, Blood One of the Blood God Legion, is coming back. His return will likely hinder our actions."
"I know. When we act, we always aim for capturing people and evidence. At most, we like to launch surprise attacks. If Hidden Families are not clean and we catch them red-handed, killing them won't allow for much argument."
Feng Zaixing put down his binoculars, casually took out a rolled cigarette, lit it for Sima Jinchi, and asked with a smile, "How does the 100,000-year Thunderwing Lion King right arm Spirit Bone, obtained from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, feel? Are you still adapting?"
"It's too adaptable! My strength when swinging my blade has doubled!"
Speaking of this, Sima Jinchi immediately became excited. 100,000-year Spirit Bones were nowhere to be found on the Southern Legion's military merit exchange list. It wasn't until they took down these local tyrants that they realized how many Spirit Bones they had accumulated over 20,000 years.
When Spirit Beast gathering places still existed, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan generally hunted thunder-attribute and Dragon-attribute Spirit Beasts, specializing in killing top-tier Spirit Beasts. Their reserves of power-type Spirit Bones were second to none on the entire Continent.
"It's good that you're adapting. You are the captain of our Federal Investigation Bureau's penal squad, and you must bear this responsibility well."
Feng Zaixing patted Sima Jinchi's shoulder, his words conveying high hopes.
The current Federal Investigation Bureau was basically the original Central Intelligence Department personnel, with elite students from the One Heart Society among them; but considering future problems, Feng Zaixing had set three iron rules in advance:
No attacking entities other than the target, all actions must follow orders, and all spoils of war must be handed over to the public.
To deter both internal and external forces, Sima Jinchi, a fierce individual who would wreak havoc both internally and externally, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice. The vice-captain was Ye Xinglan, whose cultivation was still shallow but full of drive.
"Boss, don't worry. Just for you leading me to fight across the entire Continent, I'll follow you to the end!" Sima Jinchi stood at attention and saluted, his expression solemn.
Feng Zaixing nodded, looked at Yu Xin and Gu Yue, who were using a sand table to deduce attack strategies and points, and said with a smile, "Although we haven't had many military courses, this kind of battle is much more effective than military school."
"The battlefield is the best teacher. We can all stand on our own now," Yu Xin said.
Gu Yue's eyes sparkled, filled with excitement: "I think these things are more useful and attractive than Mingde Hall's research."
Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used for one day. What's the fun in playing simulations in a campus when you can have real combat? From attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan until now, they had fought a thousand miles in five days, wiping out four Hidden Families colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, and reaping huge rewards.
Di Tian and other Vicious Beasts had been watching in the shadows these days and were already convinced. Xiong Jun and Ten Thousand Demons King had even grown impatient and were secretly taking action.
"Alright, everyone continue to rest. Wait for Senior Brother, Na'er, and Zhengyu to take out those fleeing Evil Soul Masters, and then launch a general attack."
Feng Zaixing nodded, looked at his subordinates who were either meditating or fusing Spirit Bones in the mountains, and a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had a habit of giving rewards before battle, which was most effective in boosting fighting spirit.
He lifted his robe, cultivated on the spot, and his consciousness sank into his mental force sea.
In the center of his mental force sea, the small sapling gifted by the golden tree had grown vigorously to about ten meters tall, its fluffy leaves beginning to form. This was thanks to the Evil Soul Masters he had eliminated.
Certain heinous Soul Masters who specialized in drinking human blood, such as the second master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Grand Elder of the Qingying Song Family, the Patriarch of the Mingfeng Yan Family, or even the Man Faced Demon Spider's old Patriarch, who was an Evil Soul Master, were all sent away by Feng Zaixing, contributing to the ecological recovery of Douluo Star.
Old Jin, the empty-nest Elder squatting at Shrek Academy, expressed that the young man was very efficient and asked for more, saying he could eat any amount of energy!
Beside the golden tree sapling, a unique plant grew. It was entirely blue-purple, with lightning flickering around it, and the lightning it released turned half of the mental force sea into a lightning pool.
This plant-type Spirit Beast, the Thunderous Roar Hell Vine, possessed the Bloodline of the Thunder God. Feng Zaixing had acquired it in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Thunder Canyon.
Once his identity as the Son of Nature was revealed, the Thunderous Roar Hell Vine, with thousands of years of cultivation, immediately shouted "Loyalty" and prostrated itself before Feng Zaixing, only asking to forever accompany the golden tree, serving as a guard that could absorb lightning to its heart's content.
"Little Lei, begin today's lightning training."
As ten thousand bolts of lightning struck him, Feng Zaixing's mental force went to the heavenly saint splitting abyss halberd and sighed softly: "Speaking of which, I have to thank that Man Faced Demon Spider Patriarch for letting me pick up an Evil Soul Master Titled Douluo for free, giving me the qualification to use you ahead of time."
"It's a pity my cultivation is not enough; I can't use you, this Divine Artifact, yet. I still need to temper my Physical Body."
"Hunting down all Evil Soul Masters in the World and seizing the Hidden Families' strong foundations to strengthen myself, few people on the Continent have had a greater Opportunity than me in 20,000 years, not even the nine layers of Golden Dragon King essence."
Violent lightning bombarded the mental force sea, and the golden tree sapling, this peerless treasure, released Life Qi at the appropriate time to create a more stable mental World.
Traces of lightning spread from the mental force sea to his Physical Body, tempering every part of his body from the inside out. Feng Zaixing operated the Innate Secret Method, drawing in the power of heaven and earth, to carry out the second stage of marrow cleansing cultivation, shaping his physique to be even more perfect.
