Chapter 132: The Zero-Cost Acquisition Plan

Chapter 132: The Zero-Cost Acquisition Plan

Catching a falling snowflake, Du Qianjue smacked his lips. "Tsk... you're quick to escape. Next time you play with fire, it'll be stick and carrot discipline!" Du Qianjue huffed lightly, a smile playing on his lips. It seemed that Snow Empress's human emotions were becoming richer by the day. That was good. At least she could adapt to life in the human world without sticking out. Since he had brought her out of the Xue LingLong 's territory, Du Qianjue naturally did not want her to feel isolated and at odds with the world.

The next day, Du Qianjue made his way to the Sect Leader's Grand Hall. Jin Peng was still sitting there with a look of deep suffering on his face, acting as the temporary Sect Leader of the Body Sect. He wasn't showing any sense of being just a temporary fill-in; instead, he was working diligently, enough to make any capitalist weep.

"Ah, Qianjue, what brings you here?" Although Jin Peng always grumbled about Du Busi shirking responsibilities, he was very amiable towards Du Qianjue.

Noticing Du Qianjue's entrance, the look of deep suffering on Jin Peng's face naturally morphed into a spring breeze-like smile, so skillfully it was almost heartbreaking.

"Uncle Jin Peng, do you remember the favor I asked you before I went to the tournament?" Du Qianjue casually found a seat in the hall and asked with a smile.

Jin Peng stroked his chin, then slapped his forehead in realization. "Oh, you mean that girl from Tang Sect, right? She did exactly as you said, went to Heaven Dou City for revenge and was rescued by our sect's people," Jin Peng said, his tone laced with concern.

"But it seems like that girl has fallen into the path of a dark spirit master. Are you sure that's okay? Her mental state has been poor lately, often showing a bloodthirsty urge to kill. I've only been able to ask Lang Ya to use his mental control skills to temporarily suppress her violent tendencies. But this is not a long-term solution."

Before Du Qianjue participated in the competition, he had asked Jin Peng to keep an eye on Heaven Dou City, as Tang Ya was definitely going to seek revenge there in the original story. The Iron Blood Sect had taken over the Tang Sect's foundation in Heaven Dou City and had decimated the Tang Sect, leaving only Tang Ya alive. How could she suppress such deep-seated hatred?

Although in the original story, Tang Ya's departure was due to the immense pressure from Huo Yuhao and the others, making her feel inferior. She thought she was too inadequate compared to her disciples, which led her to withdraw from Shrek Academy.

But what the real reason was, no one knew. Du Qianjue just thought this woman was somewhat illogical, not caring about others' feelings at all, just ensuring she felt comfortable herself. As a result, she ended up creating something like the Holy Spirit Cult and became the Blue Silver Holy Maiden. Could Tang San be the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult? Hey, it seemed quite possible.

"Right, these are the Tang Sect secrets she spilled, all here," Jin Peng took out a thick book from his soul storage device and floated it over to Du Qianjue with his spirit power.

"It was easy to get this secret manual since Lang Ya's skills are suited for such tasks, but rescuing that girl really took a lot of effort," Jin Peng smiled, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"I didn't expect a dark spirit master at the Title Douluo level to appear in Heaven Dou City, right after she wiped out that sect. If I hadn't been there, Lang Ya might not have made it back."

A Title Douluo? What an intriguing turn of events. Which elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, having nothing better to do, ran from the Moon Empire to Heaven Dou City, and just happened to encounter the darkened Tang Ya?

Du Qianjue's face twitched, associating it with some rather unfavorable possibilities. Could it be? Tang San wasn't actually the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, right?

"This was indeed my oversight; I didn't expect a Title Douluo level dark spirit master to appear," Du Qianjue took responsibility, as the original story never mentioned the power level of that dark spirit master.

There were only a few Title Douluo level dark spirit masters in the Holy Spirit Cult, and with Long Xiaoyao overseeing them, they wouldn't just wander around. The elders were all psychologically twisted, so it was hard to say if they would venture out.

"The spirit master you encountered might be the Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Heavenly Centipede Douluo Nangong Wan. It's normal for the Holy Spirit Cult, known for countless killings and devious methods," Du Qianjue explained.

"Holy Spirit Cult's Second Elder? A cult formed by dark spirit masters?" Jin Peng was surprised.

Du Qianjue nodded but couldn't help asking, "Uncle Jin Peng, with the number of dark spirit masters on the continent remaining high, and Shrek Lake's people chasing them all over the continent, didn't you ever consider that they might band together to form a sect?"

That was absurd. In the original story, even before Huo Yuhao returned from the Moon Empire, those from Shrek didn't even know about the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult. You've been chasing the Holy Spirit Cult for so long, just to chase your own tails?

If it wasn't for the fact that the Demon Emperor was behind the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Demon Emperor was Tang San's arch-nemesis, I might really think the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult was Tang San, and that he'd lowered your IQ with his divine sense.

"No…" Jin Peng scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his mouth twitching, "We always saw dark spirit masters as insignificant threats, at most bullying ordinary people."

"They also dared not act against anyone from our Body Sect, so we didn't care."

It was an indifferent attitude indeed. Well, it made sense then that Body Sect was unaware of the Holy Spirit Cult's existence, but what about Shrek Lake?

Du Qianjue rubbed his temples, not sure whether to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult or keep them indefinitely to trouble Shrek Lake. He didn't really care about the deaths on Douluo Continent.

The Holy Spirit Cult had no grievances with him, and there was no conflict with Body Sect. Whether to act against the Holy Spirit Cult was a question indeed.

No, although there was no grudge against the Holy Spirit Cult, precautions were necessary. Du Qianjue's eyes gleamed with a strange light, considering certain things from the Moon Empire that might not be useful to him but would definitely be useful to Body Sect.

The plan could be moved up on the agenda.

"Uncle Jin Peng, I have a plan..." Du Qianjue chuckled and leaned close to Jin Peng, whispering his 'evil' plan.

As Du Qianjue spoke, they both emitted a strange, sinister laughter.

"Hehehehe..."

The Body Sect Zero-Cost Acquisition Plan was ready to launch!
