"Big boss, can't you leave us a way out?"
Hearing that Feng Zaixing still intended to kill the Demon Empress, Lan Fozi looked pitiful as she continued to plead: "My mother was originally very kind. Twenty thousand years ago, my father was sleeping at home and eating small fish when Tang San led a group to kill him. Since then, we mother and daughter have wandered the sea and suffered endless bullying. It was only thanks to the Whale Pearl left by my father that our cultivation increased rapidly, giving us the power to protect ourselves..."
"My mother went mad because of this, and she only slaughtered because she wanted revenge on Sea God Tang San. Later, she was discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult and became the King of Evil Soul Masters. That's only natural, right?"
Feng Zaixing pressed his brow, silenced for a moment before softening his tone. Meeting Lan Fozi's hopeful gaze, he said solemnly, "You have your hardships, and I sympathize; but I am the Sword Bearer, and I have always been responsible for purging evil. Besides, how much do you think you can contribute to this plane to offset your mother's bloodlust?"
"In ten thousand years, I don't believe she hasn't slaughtered humans or Cultivated evil methods under the guidance of the Holy Spirit Cult, not to mention she has saved the Holy Spirit Cult's powerhouses multiple times in times of crisis."
"She is, after all, the King of Evil Soul Masters."
Seeing the atmosphere take a sharp turn for the worse, Gu Yue quickly spoke up to mediate: "This King feels that if conditions allow, it's not impossible to leave a way out, right?"
The Demon Empress slaughtering Sea Soul Beasts meant nothing to Gu Yue; slaughtering humans she didn't know meant even less. Thus, in the eyes of the Silver Dragon King, it was not unacceptable.
A minor Evil Soul Master would be wiped out sooner or later anyway.
Feng Zaixing turned and asked back, "Her mother brought disaster upon countless Sea Soul Beasts because of her tragic background. Doesn't that just create countless broken families as tragic as hers? If these Sea Soul Beasts also walk the path of evil out of hatred, wouldn't there be more and more Evil Soul Beasts to kill?"
Gu Yue immediately fell silent.
Lan Fozi timidly raised her slender hand and said in a low voice, "My mother killing Sea Soul Beasts is just like you killing Evil Soul Masters; she rarely leaves loose ends. Killing them all is common, so there probably aren't many broken families."
Feng Zaixing was shocked by Lan Fozi for the second time, his face written all over with speechlessness.
"So your mother kills entire families at every turn, and you're actually quite proud of it?"
After saying that, Feng Zaixing cast a meaningful glance at his classmate Gu Yue beside him and said, "Student Gu Yue, did you leak my information as your president again? When will you learn to keep your mouth shut? Do I need to teach you?"
Has the fine Silver Dragon King turned into a Gossip Dragon? Sooner or later, I'll make it so you can't talk nonsense.
Gu Yue looked up at the ceiling, dodging Feng Zaixing's scrutinizing gaze. Her snowy cheeks remained calm as she said without any embarrassment, "I was also forced by necessity. This person insisted on saying she fell in love with this King at first sight, so this King just randomly found someone to use as a shield."
"Don't worry, I understand. Now that she knows about you, unless she becomes one of us, she shouldn't dream of ever leaving this place in her life."
"Wuwu—don't lock me up for the rest of my life—"
Lan Fozi looked ready to burst into tears, appearing more and more pitiful as she whispered her accusation: "In short, that, probably—my mother is still in a state of madness. In fact, she has always been emotionally manipulated and controlled by the Ghost Emperor using drugs. We are also victims."
Feng Zaixing glanced at her again and sighed softly: "Fine, if you can help me completely destroy the Holy Spirit Cult and capture all the experts, including the Ghost Emperor, I will consider crippling your mother's cultivation and letting her live for a few hundred more years."
"This is my final bottom line. If you don't agree, don't even think about coming out in the future."
"Mm-hmm, I agree, I agree to your terms."
Hearing the change in heart, Lan Fozi immediately nodded repeatedly, then said impatiently, "I'm not sure where the Ghost Emperor fled to for now; I need to go back as an undercover agent to find him. But I know the hiding place of Dark Bell Nanali. When are we going to kill our way over?"
The corners of Feng Zaixing's mouth curled up slightly. "If I take you to wipe her out now, will it affect your undercover career?"
Lan Fozi thought for a moment, her cheeks showing expressions of wariness, fear, and then relief. She said, "It won't have much of an effect. The Ghost Emperor said in private long ago that you, Feng Zaixing, have a heaven-reaching killing power. It wouldn't surprise him if you killed all of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings one day."
"Very good, at least he has good eyes."
A moment later.
Fifty miles west of Star Luo City, a group of three arrived quietly.
Lan Fozi was dressed in black, which perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure. Her hands moved through several incantations, opening a spatial gate in mid-air.
"It's right here. This is the headquarters of the Green Skeleton. The Holy Spirit Cult is playing a game of hiding in plain sight, using this small plane as their headquarters. Only those at the Titled Douluo level or above can bring people inside."
Lan Fozi whispered behind her, only to see that the figures of Feng Zaixing and Gu Yue had disappeared at some point.
Holy Flowing Fire and Death Netherfire suddenly flew out from behind the spatial gate. Lan Fozi shrunk her head and took an impatient step forward.
"What terrifying strength, is he really only at the Eight-Ring level?" The moment Lan Fozi stepped into the small plane, she saw the severed limbs and broken bones of Evil Soul Master experts flying like a rain of flowers. Hundreds of Evil Soul Masters fought back desperately after being ambushed, but they fell like stalks of rice.
In the distance, Feng Zaixing was like a half-holy, half-demonic Vajra Battle Buddha. Every punch and kick had the power to crush mountains and shake the seas. Nowhere he went was there an enemy who could withstand a single blow. A dragon-shaped halo, flashing alternately with holiness and evil, floated behind his head, neutralizing all enemy attacks.
Gu Yue took out the heart of the dragon god, sealing the spatial order of the small plane and cutting off all escape routes for the Evil Soul Masters. Then, she took out melon seeds and drinks, found a clean place to enjoy herself, her eyes curving with smiles.
Seeing this leisurely appearance, Lan Fozi couldn't help but suspect that the other party was here for a vacation.
She walked up to Gu Yue and asked, "Are you not going to do anything?"
Gu Yue took a sip of juice and said with a face full of indifference, "Do what? Those guys are his prey. Isn't it good for us to just watch?"
Lan Fozi whispered, "If I step in and kill a few Evil Soul Masters now, wouldn't I look more like I'm part of a battlefield uprising?"
Gu Yue raised an eyebrow: "I advise you not to do that. Just be a spectator with me."
If you work so hard, won't it make me look like a salted fish? Little Blue Whale, you really don't understand the ways of the world.
"Oh." Lan Fozi lowered her clenched fists, held up her skirt, and sat down obediently, then quietly cast a sidelong glance at Gu Yue.
In the distance, Dark Bell Nanali, who was being beaten into a flying human by Feng Zaixing along with a group of people, caught sight of the "Holy Maiden" and screamed: "Treason! Treason! Lan Fozi, it was actually you who brought this Evil Soul Master killing machine in!"
"We were just about to fight to the death, why did the Princess surrender first? Why?!"
Lan Fozi suddenly felt that Nanali's voice was very good. She secretly gave her a thumbs up, then stood up, her left hand pressed against her chest and her right hand raised high, looking like a beauty reaching for the moon with a resolute expression.
"Say no more! I, Lan Fozi, have already joined the Righteous Path and abandoned darkness for light! From now on, my heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is for justice!"
"As for you, accept the judgment of justice!"
The experts around Nanali were rapidly decreasing, and she shouted even louder: "But how could you surrender without taking me with you! I can negotiate too, I can love justice too!"
Feng Zaixing gave a cold smile, his arms swinging like long blades. His palm wind shattered the last two Three-Word Battle Armor Masters as he closed in and said, "Her mother is the Demon Empress, the spokesperson for the Holy Spirit Cult. What is your status?"
Nanali only felt Feng Zaixing's face rapidly enlarging. While retreating desperately, she shouted, "I am currently the second of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings! If you give me a chance, I'll give the Ghost Emperor two stabs, just like how the Ghost Emperor's subordinates assassinated Ya Li!"
"Good! Long Yeyue and Cai Yueer are indeed both people of the Holy Spirit Cult. That's exactly the sentence I wanted from you!"
Feng Zaixing laughed heartily, quickly approaching Nanali's petite and exquisite body. The holy and evil currents in his palm transformed into a twelve-foot long spear. The spear tip, surrounded by Holy Light, shattered the bells. With a turn and a sweep, the spear tail released thousands of strands of Purple-Black Netherfire, transforming into a black dragon.
The black dragon roared out and crashed into Nanali. Her Three-Word Battle Armor instantly shattered, and she spat out black blood, flying backward like a broken kite.
Gu Yue's eyes immediately flickered as she whispered to herself, "Isn't that black dragon in the form of Di Tian? Did he actually memorize the aura of the move Di Tian used when he first opened the Dragon Valley?"
Lan Fozi dashed out, picked up Nanali who only had one breath left, and threw her in front of Feng Zaixing to curry favor.
"Boss, the heinous Dark Bell of the Holy Spirit Cult has been brought to you. This woman can be called the most cruel woman in the Holy Spirit Cult. Don't let her cute loli appearance fool you; she actually does all sorts of bad things. She slaughters Sea Soul Beasts and attacks innocent humans every day. Her crimes are too numerous to record, and she is capable of any evil—"
Lan Fozi slapped Nanali hard, casually pinning all the crimes her own mother had committed over the years onto Nanali's head.
Nanali's pupils were dazed, then she became greatly terrified.
"I didn't do those bad things, I didn't kill that many people, wuwu—"
"Lan Fozi, you're so great, you're so noble! You actually sold me out, you heartless thing, betraying the Holy Spirit Cult family—"
Lan Fozi turned her hand and delivered another loud slap, cursing, "Who is in a family with you! Do you see a single trace of evil energy on this Young Miss!"
Feng Zaixing suddenly smiled and said, "Evil energy, eh? I have some here, and it's the most pure kind."
Lan Fozi went "Uh," "Boss, I didn't mean it that way—"
"I naturally know that. You did well; consider this a contribution on your part."
Feng Zaixing smiled, raising his hand to forcibly strip Nanali's Spirit, condensing it into a phantom bell.
Immediately after, he raised his spear and thrust it at Nanali, pinning her petite and youthful body to the ground.
A dual Domain halo of holy and evil bloomed, swallowing all of Nanali's aura.
A moment later, Feng Zaixing shook the bell in his hand, ringing it gently, and gave his evaluation: "Her strength is decent. I hope the Ghost Emperor won't disappoint me."
