Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 182 Long Xiaoyao: Xuanzi, you are a ruthless person, you hide deeper than anyone else!

As the world changes, a day passes.

Zhongli Wu led his men across the border of the Tianhun Empire under the cover of night, sneaked into the territory of the Douling Empire, and entered a stronghold that had been prepared long ago.

Their Holy Spirit Sect has deep roots and strongholds in the four empires. They had made a plan long ago for what to do in the event of a significant decline in strength - to move to the Douling Empire, the weakest of the four empires.

Although the evil soul masters are powerful, they cannot withstand the attacks of the orthodox soul masters in the world; Zhongli Wu knows very well that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Douluo Continent. In addition to the forces in the open, there are also many hidden sects with profound backgrounds. The strength of the Holy Spirit Church is only enough to barely protect itself, and it must seek shelter in an empire in order to maintain long-term stability.

For example, it is not surprising that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, where Moon came from, hides a level 98 immortal; there are also powerful forces such as the Haotian Sect, the Xuanming Sect, and the Body Sect. Even if the Holy Spirit Sect has two Extreme Douluos, it cannot do whatever it wants.

The battle of Xingluo City severely damaged the Holy Spirit Sect, and the two Ultimate Douluo had to retreat to recuperate. The survivors, from Zhongli Wu onwards, had not recovered from their injuries, and were unable to compete with the Sun and Moon Soul Master faction in a short period of time, so they had to abandon their hometown.

If you can't beat Kong Deming, Ye Yulin, and Jing Hongchen, can you still beat these Lese in the Douling Empire? The old Emperor Sun and Moon is unwilling to give them the position of state religion, and it's the same if they become the state religion in the Douling Empire!
With the thought that he could regroup after a few years of development and the joy of having the strength of three future Super Douluo, Zhongli Wu walked straight to the place where Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were in seclusion and said respectfully:
"Mother, Uncle Long, Xiao Wu has recently welcomed back our sect's Supreme Worshiper, Senior Taotie, to Tiandou City. He has brought back a future Saintess and a Level 94 Titled Douluo. I've come to tell you the good news."

In the retreat area, a cold female voice full of surprise was soon heard.

"The Supreme Worshiper Taotie? Are you talking about Shrek's Xuanzi?"

"Yes, when I was leading the team to rest in Tiandou City, I suddenly sensed the presence of our sect's people. I took everyone to look and found the traces of the Blue Silver Saint, Shrek's Beast King Gong Changlong, and Elder Xuan."

After saying that, Zhongli Wu winked at Zhang Peng and Wu Ya, who were carrying Xuan Zi on a stretcher behind him. The two men gently put Xuan Zi down and turned into black light and retreated.

Zhongli Wu continued, "Master Xuan is our sect's greatest hero. Upon hearing that our sect was in trouble, he took the trouble to bring two future Super Douluos to join us. This matter is of great importance, so I have no choice but to report it to you two elders. Please help him heal his injuries and restore his cultivation."

"We already knew when we arrived that the Blue Silver Saintess was the girlfriend of Moon's great-great-grandson. Elder Xuan even sent such a genius to my sect, which shows how diligently he has worked undercover for over two hundred years. His unwavering loyalty is evident to all..."

As he spoke, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but sigh that his damn father had a good way of judging people. He immediately took a liking to Xuan Lao, a loyal and unparalleled genius, and infiltrated him into Shrek.

On the way, he reviewed all the deeds of Master Xuan. Master Xuan's wisdom was truly as profound as the ocean. He went undercover as Shrek's second-in-command and became the powerful deputy head of the Supervisory Group. He easily killed a large number of geniuses, and Shrek could not do anything to him.

From Yan Shaozhe's generation to the current inner courtyard of Shrek, there has not been a single worthy Titled Douluo for decades. This shows how great the contribution of Old Xuan was. He has killed dozens of future Titled Douluos!

After seeing that Xuanming Sect was extremely powerful, Old Xuan made a prompt decision and attacked the core figures of Xuanming Sect one after another, leading to a life-and-death fight between Xuanming Sect and Shrek.

If they hadn't underestimated Xu Xiaoyun's strength, Xuanming Sect and Shrek would have both suffered losses, and the Holy Spirit Sect would have easily eliminated two huge threats without arousing any suspicion.

It's a pity that the old man had to get involved in the game with his own body, and all his cultivation was destroyed by Xu Xiaoyun, and even the origin of the Taotie Divine Bull's martial soul was almost dissipated.

The Taotie Divine Bull was born with the talent to devour vast amounts of food. With just a little guidance, it would become the most powerful evil martial spirit in the world, capable of devouring the heavens and the earth. Zhongli Wu asked himself if even his Death Demon Puppet could compare to it.

If Elder Xuan had not gone undercover but stayed in the Holy Church, he might have already achieved the pinnacle of his generation. Such great courage and contribution must be recognized by the Holy Spirit Church!

"...Xiao Wu personally believes that during this time of crisis for the Holy Church, we must unite as one and give Elder Xuan sufficient status and respect. We must not let the masters within the Church feel disheartened. This will greatly boost the morale of our Church."

After Zhongli Wu finished speaking, the retreat was silent for a long time, and Long Xiaoyao sighed deeply.

"...You are right. I have not made any great contribution over the years. I am far inferior to Xuan Zi. From now on, he will be the first supreme worshiper of our sect. Everyone who sees him will see me as if I were there.

He is the second most important person in Shrek, and his status in our sect cannot be lower."

Ye Xishui's voice rang out immediately: "Leave Xuanzi's injuries to me and your Uncle Long. Go down first and send people to capture some rare soul beasts with Taotie bloodline and devouring talents, as well as earth-attributed soul beasts. The more the better. I will personally heal his wounds..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of black soul light passed through the retreat area, wrapped up Xuanzi's body, and disappeared.

Zhongli Wu said "yes" with a happy expression on his face, and left happily.

"Hehehe, fellow Shrek people, when you learn the truth, I wonder what kind of despair you will fall into. This leader is looking forward to it..."

In the place of retreat, the pale-faced Long Xiaoyao stood up, looked at Xuan Zi who was lying on the ground and breathing evenly with a complicated expression, and sighed deeply.

"Xuan Zi, you are a ruthless person. You hide deeper than anyone else!"

Zhongli Wu just told all his guesses. Even though Long Xiaoyao felt that Moon would not be unable to see Xuanzi's true face for more than two hundred years, he had to admit that Xuanzi, this old guy who was half a generation younger than them, was an absolutely ruthless man.

Xu Xiaoyun's disciple was killed by him, and his great-grandson almost lost his life; Mu En was even worse off, his life was also killed by him, and his great-grandson's wife was sent to the Holy Spirit Church;

Shrek and Xuanming Sect, the two former top transcendent forces in the Douluo Kingdom, are now at loggerheads with each other, fighting to the death and suffering severe internal friction.

And all of this was manipulated by Xuan Zi, a guy hiding behind the scenes! Even though Long Xiaoyao was conceited about his good eyesight, he still couldn't see the truth beneath the surface.

A level 98 Super Douluo played two Extreme Douluos at his fingertips. Both he and Ye Xishui felt ashamed of themselves.

Long Xiaoyao was very curious about what kind of promise the former leader of the Holy Spirit Church, Zhongli Laogui, had made to make Xuanzi persevere in being an undercover agent for more than two hundred years, and return to the embrace of the Holy Spirit Church with gifts before his death, dedicating his entire life to the Holy Spirit Church.

Ye Xishui stepped forward and said coldly, "Long Xiaoyao, you know you haven't done your best for the Holy Church over the years. Xuanzi's cultivation is only level 98, but his contribution to the Holy Church is more than ten times yours!" Long Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "So, isn't this why I'm giving up my position? If you have the ability to restore his cultivation, he can command the people in the Worship Hall to work for him."

"But the old turtle has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. If you had rescued him earlier, you might have been able to salvage his cultivation. But now, that's probably not going to be easy."

Ye Xishui reached out, closed his eyes, and sensed Xuanzi's internal state for a while. He frowned and said, "His soul core was broken, his cultivation was almost gone, and his martial soul was forcibly wiped out. Only some bloodline power remains. It's really not easy."

"But that's good. His body is in a relatively pure state now. I can easily transform his bloodline into evil and activate the Taotie bloodline."

"Then, using our sect's secret techniques and a large amount of resources, we can repair his physical foundation. Returning to the Titled Douluo position is just around the corner, and becoming a Super Douluo won't be a problem!"

Long Xiaoyao whispered, "I think his Dantian was destroyed by the old turtle, and the position of his soul core is broken. If he wants to condense the soul core again, he can only do it between his eyebrows and chest. It's not easy, right?"

Ye Xishui said coldly, "The Taotie Divine Bull possesses Taotie bloodline, and devouring energy is its instinct. How do you know he can't succeed? Are you jealous of his talent?"

Long Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "Look at what you are talking about, Xishui, I don't mean that..."

"That's fine, as long as you don't mean it that way."

Ye Xishui interrupted Long Xiaoyao's words, and a purple-black soul light surged out of his fair palm, which was not in line with his age, and enveloped Xuanzi. The Taotie bloodline remaining in Xuanzi's blood and bones was quickly drawn out, turning into a ball of faint ochre light, wrapping Xuanzi's body.

Ye Xishui clenched his five fingers, and the ochre light quickly shrank and converged, condensing into the shadow of a gluttonous bull about an inch in size, illusory and faint, rising into the air.

The next moment, Ye Xishui bit his fingertips and let a few drops of dark blood drip out, which fell towards the light and shadow of the Taotie divine bull. The blood turned into something when it touched it and merged into one with it.

Under the two people's nervous gaze, the khaki-colored Taotie divine bull quickly transformed into dark black. The Taotie blood seemed to be intensified, and its horns gradually turned into goat horns. The majestic face transformed in an evil and violent direction, and soon became unrecognizable.

The new Taotie bull has lost many of its bull characteristics. Its expression is greedy and manic, and its spiral horns are like two dark whirlpools, emitting a terrifying aura that can captivate the soul.

"it is good!"

Ye Xishui pressed down with his palm, and the evil spirit's shadow fell into Xuanzi's dantian. The unconscious Xuanzi groaned, his body suddenly trembled, and his bones creaked.

“Crack!”

Amidst the trembling, Xuan Zi's weak aura began to rise rapidly, soon breaking through the boundaries of Soul Master, surpassing Soul Sect, Soul King, Soul Emperor... and only began to slow down until the Soul Saint level.

This is not because the power Ye Xishui brought him can only reach the Soul Saint level, but because his body still needs to adapt.

As his strength recovered, Xuan Zi's old face with wrinkles began to show signs of rejuvenation. At the same time, clusters of black air rushed out from between his eyebrows, covering his facial features and brows.

This aura was not strong, but the potential it contained made Long Xiaoyao secretly think it was extraordinary, and he even felt a hint of the looming pressure from the superior.

He knew that this was Xuan Zi's Taotie bloodline manifesting itself. Not to mention Long Xiaoyao, even the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian would be suppressed by his bloodline.

"Xuan Zi has a full set of six soul bones. His martial spirit is now even stronger than mine. If he returns to level 89, he will be able to rival a Super Douluo. Should I send a message to the old turtle and ask him to kill this old thing? It's not easy to do..."

Long Xiaoyao was in a dilemma. He didn't want to see the Holy Spirit Church grow stronger, but he was worried about Ye Xishui. But if Xu Xiaoyun came, he might kill Ye Xishui after killing Xuanzi.

They were injured by the self-explosion of the temple master before his death. It will take three to five years to recover. It is really difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Ye Xishui's voice rang in Long Xiaoyao's ears: "Long Xiaoyao, your black dragon blood essence can also help his bloodline. Would you like to drop a few drops?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao looked intently at Xuan Zi, whose martial soul had completely turned evil. His eyes flashed slightly, and he forced out two drops of essence and blood, which fell into Xuan Zi's dantian.

"Alright, I'll do something to you, and we'll see how it goes..."

……

When Long Xiaoyao was in trouble, there were people in the Sun and Moon Empire who were in the same trouble as him.

In the Prince's Mansion, Xu Tianran was staring at Xu Guozhong, who came to visit him late at night, with a dark and uncertain look in his eyes.

"Uncle, you've made such a huge mistake, and the Red Dust Hall Master has even seized the evidence. It's too difficult for me to come forward and save you, isn't it?"

"My dear nephew, listen to what the Emperor's uncle says. As long as you save him this time, he will be yours from now on. He will give you anything you want!"

Xu Guozhong gritted his teeth and knelt down to pay homage:
"Your Majesty, I bow to you. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

Xu Tianran raised his chin slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Then I must think carefully about it..."
