Now that The Phoenix Teases the Twin Dragons was out, Lin Yun naturally wasn't going to stop there. He planned to strike while the iron was hot, not only putting the old geezer Mu En in his place but also dragging Yan Shaozhe out for another public lashing.
The groundwork had been laid in The Phoenix Teases the Twin Dragons, and it was time to detonate another mine!
And so, as Mu En left the continent and prepared to return to Shrek Academy, the Myriad Beast King—who had only just returned to the Great Star Dou Forest and barely had a chance to rest—was once again mobilized under Lin Yun's command.
Myriad Beast King: "What? Rest? No need! Even if I am exhausted to death, I must steadfastly spread His Excellency's will!"
"Tree seeds, once again! Once again, for His Excellency's will, burn your strength! Onegai shimasu!"
Countless tree seeds, with a loyal and firm look in their eyes, once again flew out like a plague of locusts, carrying a large number of books. With the Great Star Dou Forest as their center, they spread out in all directions.
One of the tree seeds accidentally dropped a book on the ground, and in the shot, it gradually drifted away.
The view slowly focused on the book the tree seed had lost.
On the book's cover, a middle-aged man with short white hair and a strong, righteous face exchanged a fist bump and a look with a gentle, scholarly-looking middle-aged man.
Behind the two of them, a graceful and alluring woman with a charmingly seductive expression glanced back with a faint smile. Even on the cover alone, her bewitching aura was undeniable.
The book's eight large, ink-splashed characters read:
The Uncle and Nephew Duo, Fellow Travelers!
An important note:Fellow Travelers, a sequel to The Phoenix Teases the Twin Dragons, is a story of three Limit Douluo that did not end after they parted ways. Instead, it was just the beginning.
Watching Mu En's receding back, Long Xiaoyao, standing with his hands behind him, exchanged a glance with Ye Xishui, who was holding a child. Their eyes finally settled on the child in Ye Xishui's arms.
This was their shared child, carrying both of their bloodlines. Even though Ye Xishui had reverted to her identity as an Evil Soul Master, she still deeply loved her flesh and blood. However, both Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui knew this child could not stay with them.
As an Evil Soul Master, Ye Xishui's future path would be filled with a trail of bodies and wailing.
No matter who orchestrated Ye Xishui's approach to Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, her feelings for them were genuine, and her love for her own child was even more so. She could coldly kill innocent people without a second thought but could not ignore the child in her arms.
"Xiaoyao, what if we send him to a small village and let him grow up as a normal person?" Ye Xishui asked Long Xiaoyao in a gentle tone.
"Our lives are no longer peaceful. I don't want him to be like us, trapped in a vortex, ultimately losing himself."
"I... just hope he can grow up happy and live an ordinary life."
Long Xiaoyao sighed softly. Although he was reluctant and wanted to watch his child grow up, marry, and have a family, he knew he was already on a one-way street. From now on, he could only protect Ye Xishui, his hands stained with the blood of the innocent for the woman he deeply loved.
"All right, Xishui, I'll listen to you. Let's let our child grow up as a normal person," Long Xiaoyao said softly.
And so, they sent the child to a small, ordinary village. To sever any ties between the child and themselves, the child's name was not related to any of them, but rather used Ye Xishui's former surname.
Ye Xishui's original surname was Yan, so the child was also named Yan.
After settling the child, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao returned to the organization behind Ye Xishui: the Holy Spirit Cult.
The origins of the Holy Spirit Cult were ancient, even dating back to the Spirit Hall era ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, Spirit Hall was a sacred place for soul masters on the continent, with branches in every city. When a fallen soul master was discovered, Spirit Hall would mobilize its forces to kill them or drive them into the 'Prison of Evil,' the City of Slaughter.
The City of Slaughter held the most heinous Evil Soul Masters. Once inside, it was essentially impossible to get out. However, any soul master who successfully fought their way out of the City of Slaughter would be granted a special divine realm.
Its name was the Slaughter God Realm.
Ten thousand years ago, only two people possessed this realm: one was the last pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, and the other was the father of the Sea God Tang San, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
For this powerful and special divine realm, the Sea God Tang San, ten thousand years ago, also entered the City of Slaughter under the guise of training. He successfully broke out, becoming the third soul master to possess the Slaughter God Realm.
And then... Tang San destroyed the City of Slaughter, claiming it was too evil and imprisoned too many heinous people.
The specific reason remains unclear to anyone.
In any case, the City of Slaughter was completely destroyed, and the Evil Soul Masters it had imprisoned were naturally set free. Although they remained in hiding for a period due to Tang San's existence, after he ascended to the God Realm, they spontaneously formed a powerful force.
A force composed entirely of Evil Soul Masters: the Holy Spirit Cult.
The Holy Spirit Cult's doctrine was to 'let the holy light shine upon the earth and the Holy Spirit descend to the mortal world.' The only being they believed in was called the 'Holy Emperor.'
But we'll put that aside for now.
Over ten thousand years of tradition, the Holy Spirit Cult had fully matured, becoming a powerful force on par with the 'Sea God Pavilion' and the 'Body Sect.' Every generation's Holy Spirit Cult leader had to be a Super Douluo Evil Soul Master of at least Rank 95. Every generation's Supreme Leader had to be a Limit Douluo Evil Soul Master of Rank 99.
Ye Xishui was the current Holy Spirit Cult's saintess and the next leader.
However, the current Holy Spirit Cult had no leader, only a Supreme Leader—the Limit Douluo Evil Soul Master, Old Ghoul Zhong Li.
Evil Soul Masters' minds are always a little twisted. Ye Xishui had set a trap to win over Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, who were known as the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons, two geniuses of the continent. Old Ghoul Zhong Li, as the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, should have generously rewarded Ye Xishui and supported her to become the next leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.
And while Old Ghoul Zhong Li did generously reward Ye Xishui and support her as the next Holy Spirit Cult leader, the process was truly insane.
[Illustration] Ye Xishui was locked in a secret chamber, her soul power sealed, and her graceful body was tightly bound with rope in a "kame-kou-hime" style.
The Secret Chamber Douluo is back!
