Chapter 501: Shaozhe, Are You Still in Contact with the Vice Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult?
Huo Yuhao sent a mental transmission to Feng Ling, reminding her once again to act according to the plan. Feng Ling naturally agreed without hesitation.
At that moment, she hovered 5,000 meters high in the air, her dark purple phoenix wings unfurled behind her. For a Rank 97 Super Douluo, reaching such heights was effortless.
Her keen eyes locked onto the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier, which flickered 2,000 meters below amid waves of soul skills and artillery fire. A complex expression crossed her face.
Because Yan Shaozhe was inside that barrier.
Due to the influence of her Evil Phoenix martial soul, her desire to devour Yan Shaozhe's martial soul had never faded. In fact, as her memories had fully returned, that desire had only grown stronger.
After all, Yan Shaozhe's martial soul, the Radiant Phoenix, shared the same phoenix bloodline as hers. This made it one of the most ideal martial souls for her to consume and enhance her own power.
Back then, she lost to Yan Shaozhe and failed to devour his martial soul. That defeat had always been a lingering regret in her heart.
Now, she finally had another chance
A chance to kill Yan Shaozhe and take his martial soul for herself.
But…
Even with such a golden opportunity, she couldn't act.
Because this involved Tower Master Huo's plan.
Pushing aside those distracting thoughts, she flapped her dark purple phoenix wings and descended toward the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier.
Inside the Barrier
The elders were preparing to ignite the Flames of Life.
With the intense artillery fire easing slightly, the pressure on them lightened.
Xuan Zi immediately sent a mental transmission to the other elders:
"Once we break out of this barrier, we cannot leave immediately."
"We must take advantage of our temporarily enhanced strength to cause devastating damage to the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineers."
"This will force their strongest forces to focus on the border "
" and divert their attention away from their empire's interior."
"After all, Elder Song and Beibei have already infiltrated the Sun Moon Empire."
"If we escape now, it will hinder their mission."
"For their sake, and for the success of the rescue operation "
"We must fight with everything we have!"
The other elders agreed unanimously.
Even though Kong Deming was strong enough to rival a Limit Douluo, he was not invincible.
If they worked together while burning the Flames of Life, they might be able to overwhelm him
allowing them to massacre the Sun Moon border's soul engineer legions.
Xuan Zi was the first to ignite his Flames of Life.
Having done it before, he had experience and was more proficient than the others.
In an instant, deep yellow flames ignited around him, and a formidable aura surged from his body
his strength skyrocketing to the level of a Limit Douluo!
The other elders followed suit, but because they lacked experience, they were slightly slower.
Just as they were about to ignite their flames
A resounding phoenix cry echoed through the air.
Yan Shaozhe froze.
Something about that phoenix cry felt strangely familiar.
But he didn't halt his preparations to burn his Flames of Life until…
A vast spiritual force suddenly invaded his spiritual sea!
Boom!
His head throbbed violently, his vision blurred, and his thoughts scattered.
His attempt to ignite his Flames of Life was interrupted!
"A powerful Spirit Type Super Douluo is ambushing me?!"
Gritting his teeth, he immediately activated a spiritual defense soul tool, reducing the pain slightly.
But then
Crack!
The sharp sound of shattering metal rang in his ears.
His soul tool was destroyed instantly!
With no time to think, he replaced it with another spiritual defense soul tool.
Even though Shrek Academy's mental defense soul tools were at most Rank 8, and inferior to those of the Sun Moon Empire,
even a little protection could help ease the enemy's attack.
If I can hold out, I can reignite my Flames of Life and help break out of this barrier!
Retaliation wasn't an option.
Trapped inside the barrier, he couldn't even see his attacker, let alone counterattack.
Right now, his top priority was escaping the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier!
Outside the Barrier
Before he could react, he felt himself falling into a soft embrace.
A fragrance filled his senses.
His body tensed
He was about to resist when a familiar voice echoed in his ears:
"Shaozhe, it's me, Feng Ling."
"Don't resist. I'm getting you out of here."
His eyes widened in shock.
He looked up and saw a delicate yet slightly wicked face.
Even after so many years, he recognized her instantly
Feng Ling.
A flood of complicated emotions surged in his heart.
It had been so long since he had last heard any news about her.
The last time he had learned anything about her was when she had become a Titled Douluo.
To be honest
That wasn't good news.
Feng Ling was a bloodthirsty Evil Soul Master.
The stronger she became, the more people suffered because of her.
And now she was saving him?
Was this her way of repaying him for sparing her life in the past?
No.
Something was wrong.
This was the same woman who had once tried to kill him without hesitation, completely disregarding their past relationship.
Would she really go out of her way to save him now?
Damn it.
Those spiritual attacks messed with my thinking.
Just as he snapped back to his senses
He prepared to struggle
But
It was too late.
Whoosh!
Before he could resist, Feng Ling had already carried him out of the barrier.
With Kong Deming's cooperation, her entry and exit from the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier had been effortless.
Inside the barrier, Xuan Zi and the other elders were stunned.
They had just burned their Flames of Life, fully prepared to break free
Yet Yan Shaozhe not only hadn't ignited his flames
He had been carried away by Feng Ling?!
Doubt crept into the elders' minds.
What was going on?
Was Yan Shaozhe… betraying them?
They all knew how difficult it was to escape the barrier.
They had just experienced it firsthand.
Yet Feng Ling had easily taken Yan Shaozhe out
That was highly suspicious.
As the elders continued attacking the barrier, their attention shifted toward Yan Shaozhe.
Especially Cai Mei'er and Xian Lin'er.
Watching Yan Shaozhe being held by Feng Ling
A storm of emotions raged in their hearts.
Cai Mei'er, his wife, spoke first.
Her voice was sharp and piercing:
"Shaozhe, are you still in contact with the Vice Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult?!"
During the Sun Moon Tournament, Shrek's elders had fought Feng Ling and learned that she was a Vice Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.
