Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 516 Fourth Elder: A Vow to Rise the City Soon
Liao Mengkai glanced at the Fourth Elder, then waved his hand behind him: "Don't keep aiming the soul cannon at this white-robed man. Just like the Fourth Elder said, the Blue Silver Saintess is still in his hands. If she dies here by mistake, it will definitely affect His Majesty's grand plan."

After all, the higher-ups of Sun Moon knew that the current Sun Moon Emperor, Xu Tianran, had close ties with the Holy Spirit Cult and was preparing to use the Holy Spirit Cult's power to attack the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Once the Blue Silver Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult dies at the hands of the Sun and Moon Soul Master, the relationship between Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Cult will inevitably be severely affected.

Although Liao Mengkai disliked evil spirit masters, he had no choice but to agree to the Fourth Elder's request for the sake of the bigger picture.

"Yes, Commander Liao!"

The members of the Soul Guild present responded in unison, and then they turned the muzzle of the Soul Guidance Cannon away from Elder Song.

However, they maintained their aerial positions to besiege the area, ready to launch a fierce attack at Liao Mengkai's command.

The Fourth Elder's expression softened slightly.

Liao Mengkai said, "Fourth Elder, could you explain to me what exactly happened here? I need to understand the current situation in as much detail as possible before I can take any further action."

The Fourth Elder took a deep breath and slowly said, "To make a long story short, there are two problems. First, the hostages are missing and are suspected of being rescued. Second, the Holy Maiden has been captured by this man in white robes."

"What! The hostages are missing? Fourth Elder, your Holy Spirit Cult promised to keep the hostages safe, but now you're telling me they're gone? I want an explanation." Liao Mengkai's face turned extremely ugly.

The existence of hostages also has some use for the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, those who can come to the Sun Moon Empire to participate in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament are basically not ordinary people. With these hostages, the Douluo Three Kingdoms can still have some concerns for now, but if all the hostages are rescued, then the Douluo Three Kingdoms' concerns in this regard will disappear completely.

The Fourth Elder, his face ashen, transmitted his voice to Liao Mengkai: "Explain? It must be that a powerful figure from Shrek Academy or the Douluo Three Kingdoms secretly infiltrated Sunrise City and rescued the hostages."

Of course, the hostages' disappearance is important, but compared to the Holy Maiden's safety, it's not so important! Commander Liao, you know how important the Holy Maiden is to the Holy Spirit Cult; under no circumstances can anything happen to her.

With the hostages missing, he might at most get a scolding from the cult leader, but that's not a big deal; he can still continue to be an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, if the Holy Maiden dies, his position as elder may be in jeopardy. Moreover, he may be transformed by the cult leader into a machine without self-awareness, only knowing how to kill. Although his strength will increase, losing self-awareness is more terrifying than death for him.

Liao Mengkai, who was standing to the side, was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while and weighing the pros and cons, he transmitted his voice to the Fourth Elder: "That's right, what you said makes sense. The safety of the Blue Silver Saintess is indeed much more important than those hostages."

After reaching an agreement with Liao Mengkai, the Fourth Elder looked at Elder Song and said, "As long as you can release the Holy Maiden, I swear by Sunrise City that I will ensure your safe departure from the Sun Moon Empire and will absolutely not pursue your attempt to kill the Holy Maiden. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Song immediately understood the Fourth Elder's little scheme. She sneered, "Do you take me for a three-year-old? The oaths of evil soul masters are never reliable! If I believe your oath and release the Blue Silver Saintess, you'll probably attack me the next moment. I'd rather kill the Blue Silver Saintess first and then fight you to the death!"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the Blue Silver Saintess's neck, seemingly preparing to kill her. In reality, however, she was just acting. As an elder of Shrek Academy, how could she possibly kill Tang Ya?

Tang Ya is not only Shrek Academy's student, but also Bei Bei's beloved. Even though Tang Ya has now become the Blue Silver Saintess, Elder Song still believes that Tang Ya did not do it willingly. This must be because the Holy Spirit Cult used some extremely special methods on Tang Ya, which led to this result.

The Fourth Elder took a deep breath: "Wait, don't make a move. Everything can be discussed. Tell me, what will it take for you to release the Holy Maiden?"

"I'm leaving Sunrise City now. Once I reach the border of Sun and Moon and ensure my own safety, I will release her," Elder Song said calmly.

“No, what if we reach the border of the Sun and Moon and you don’t release the Holy Maiden, but instead choose to kill her or run away with her?” the Fourth Elder said with a grim expression.

Liao Mengkai nodded to himself, feeling that what the Fourth Elder said made sense. After all, the Fourth Elder currently had no means to make the other party fulfill their promise and was in a completely passive state.

"Either agree to my demands, or I will kill your Holy Maiden right now. You have no other choice," Old Song said without giving an inch.

She knew that the more critical the moment, the more she needed to show her strength, so that the other party would think that her will was extremely firm, and only in this way could she achieve her goal.

The Fourth Elder was in a bad mood and was caught in a dilemma, but considering the safety of the Holy Maiden, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright, I promise you. I hope you can keep your promise."

Liao Mengkai's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to dissuade him, but the Fourth Elder's voice transmission rang in Liao Mengkai's mind: "Commander Liao, for the safety of the Holy Maiden, I hope you will not oppose my actions. Of course, even if this guy is allowed to leave the border, we need to delay as much as possible."

"I will secretly notify the other Holy Spirit Cult elders in Sunrise City, and have them inform the cult's top experts. Once our Holy Spirit Cult's top experts arrive, even if the Holy Maiden is in the hands of the white-robed man, he won't be able to use her to threaten us. After all, as long as the cult's top experts intervene to save her, the white-robed man will have no chance to harm the Holy Maiden!"

After transmitting the message, the Fourth Elder came to Elder Song's side and said, "Let's go, we'll see you off."

Elder Song nodded, and then left with the Fourth Elder and the members of the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps. Of course, the border she just mentioned was the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the two great empires, not the Sun Moon Seashore.

After all, the Sun and Moon Beach route is for He Caitou and his group.

Moreover, according to her plan, once they reached the border, she could break her promise and take Tang Ya away.

Although this evil soul master may have ulterior motives and be preparing to gather more powerful people to stop him, according to Elder Song's idea, there is a group of powerful Shrek elders on the Sun Moon Border who are wantonly destroying the Sun Moon Border Soul Master Corps and attracting the attention of some Sun Moon powerhouses!
With the collective strength of the Shrek Academy elders, as long as I join forces with the other elders, we will surely be able to break through the encirclement and bring Tang Ya back to the academy!
Thinking of this, she prepared to send a telepathic message to He Caitou.
