Chapter 384: 363 Head-to-head Lan Jing’er, Longhuang_1
"What, twice the size of Sun Moon Land!" Mirror Young Master exclaimed in surprise, immediately taking the map and opening it, murmuring, "Dou... Soul Land!"
"Yes, it is indeed Soul Land!" Black Cloak nodded and said, "Soul Land is divided into two great Empires and several kingdoms and duchies! And Seaside City, which we now occupy, is one of the cities of the Xingluo Empire!"
"Are you saying that behind Seaside City stands an Empire?" Mirror Young Master said, suddenly startled.
"Uh-huh!" Black Cloak nodded.
"That won’t do, we must retreat!" Mirror Young Master’s beautiful eyes hardened as she said, "Otherwise, there will be endless trouble coming our way!"
"But, Young Master, the signal of the Sea Dragon was emitted from inside Soul Land, If we want to get the Sea Dragon back, we must enter the mainland!" Black Cloak said.
"Which is more important, the Sea Dragon or our lives?" Mirror Young Master’s eyebrows furrowed as she said, "It has an entire Empire behind it! Can we really stand against them?"
"So, should we ask the Sect Hierarch for instructions?" Black Cloak asked.
"No need, let’s hurry and withdraw before she discovers this Soul Land. Otherwise, she will definitely stir up a bloody storm on this continent!" Mirror Young Master nodded.
"Alright then, Young Master, I will immediately instruct all members of Anbu Black Ops to evacuate Seaside City!" Black Cloak obeyed.
"Nobody is allowed to retreat!" Just at that moment, an imperious female voice rang out, followed by a stunning figure descending from the sky and landing next to Mirror Young Master and Black Cloak!
"Dark Faction Elder Gu You greets the Cult’s master!" The man in Black Cloak immediately bowed down in worship.
Without a doubt, this woman was none other than the Holy Spirit Cult’s master, Longhuang (Dragon Phoenix)!
"How did you get here?"
Mirror Young Master looked at Longhuang (Dragon Phoenix), somewhat surprised.
"Hmph, if I hadn’t come, were you planning to hide from me that outside of Sun Moon Land exists such a vast continent?" Longhuang sneered coldly.
"So what if I do? I discovered this continent. I’ll tell you if I feel like it!" Mirror Young Master responded defiantly.
"Hmph!" Longhuang sneered coldly. "Jing’er, do you have any idea how important the Sea Dragon is? According to the signal sent by Hai Lian Na, the Sea Dragon has found countless seabed crystals for making soul tools, exactly what we need!"
"What’s that to me?" Mirror Young Master replied, "Even with those soul tools, you’re just going on killing sprees! I am only here to look for traces of the Demon Emperor!"
"What if I tell you that the Demon Emperor is already dead?" Longhuang’s gaze sharpened.
"What, the Demon Emperor is dead!" Gu You was shocked.
"Impossible, how could the Demon Emperor be dead?" Mirror Young Master asked, equally surprised. "The Demon Emperor is an invincible existence!"
"’Invincible,’ there is no one who dares claim such in this world!" Longhuang retorted coldly. "Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, the ones who killed the Demon Emperor and who took the Sea Dragon are the same group!"
"How do you know?" Mirror Young Master asked with surprise.
"Young Master, the Sea Dragon was under the escort of Elder Tianqi and Elder Guixie, with a thousand elite Holy Spirit Cult members on board. Few at sea can destroy them, yet that group managed to kill the Demon Emperor, this must not be a coincidence!" Gu You replied.
"Jing’er, the Demon Emperor raised you from a child and gave you full control of the Dark Faction! Don’t you want to avenge him?" Longhuang asked.
"How could I not!" Mirror Young Master’s face flushed with anger. "Fine, I will find these bastards and use their corpses as an offering to the Demon Emperor!"
"But I still have my members of Anbu Black Ops, and we will not help you kill the innocent! Don’t think I don’t know, you won’t spare this continent!"
Longhuang smiled without saying a word.
"Gu You, where is the signal from the Sea Dragon?" Mirror Young Master turned to ask Gu You.
"Looking at the map, it’s very likely right here in the Star Luo Imperial Capital of the Xingluo Empire!" Gu You replied.
"Capital!" Mirror Young Master’s beautiful brows furrowed as she spoke.
"Hmm!"
"Fine, Gu You, summon all the elite Soul Sages and above from the Anbu Black Ops to meet with me. We’ll figure out a way to strike directly at the capital and kill this group of people!" Mirror Young Master said.
"Young Master, although our Dark Faction has eight Titled Douluos! But, can we really do it if this group of people defeated the Demon Emperor?" Gu You said, casting a glance towards Longhuang, "Should we ask the Sect Hierarch for help?"
"No need, first gather intelligence!" Mirror Young Master replied crisply, "Besides, I believe the Demon Emperor is invincible. He must have been set up by these bastards and killed!"
"Yes!" Gu You nodded!
"Be careful not to ruin your Dark Faction’s forces, as that would be a fatal blow to our Holy Spirit Cult!" Longhuang said with a gentle sip of the fragrant tea in her hands, smiling faintly.
"Hmph! You better watch your own forces!" Mirror Young Master’s eyes hardened as she retorted.
Seven days later, within the Xing Luo Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yundi looked at the black, unwieldy, and large metal stick in her hands with some confusion and asked Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, is this stick a soul tool?"
"Don’t judge it by its looks; it’s pretty exceptional!" Chu Qin nodded indifferently, "Yundi, try infusing your Soul Power into it!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yundi nodded gently and then channeled her Soul Power into the iron stick.
As Zhu Yundi’s Soul Power poured into the stick, the originally dull iron stick suddenly burst with dazzling golden brilliance. Soon, the brilliance spread over the entire stick, transfiguring it into a splendid golden color as if it had been dyed.
"The black stick has turned into a golden stick!" Zhu Yundi exclaimed with her eyes lighting up.
Chu Qin smiled faintly, taking the golden stick from Zhu Yundi’s hands. Then, with a thought, the stick flew out of Chu Qin’s grasp.
The stick quickly flew around the great hall, and incredibly, Chu Qin made no controlling movements!
After racing around several times at high speed, the stick returned to Chu Qin’s hands.
"This stick is called the Soul Chasing Stick!" Chu Qin explained with a smile, "It is a Level Seven Soul Guidance Device! It can attack the opponent freely with just an infusion of Soul Power!"
"A Level Seven Soul Tool? Do you mean to say that this big iron stick contains the power equivalent to a Soul Sage?" Zhu Yundi asked.
"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded, "This is the last Level Seven Soul Guidance Device I have made. Yundi, I will gift it to you! With your Hell Spiritual Cat’s agility, combined with this Soul Chasing Stick, your strength will surely skyrocket!"
"Okay, then I won’t be polite!" Zhu Yundi said with a charming smile, "But why do you say it’s the last one?"
"Because I’ve discovered that my technology has evolved to create Level Nine Soul Guidance Devices, which is what I need. Also, the fact that there’s material aboard the Sea Dragon to manufacture twenty Level Nine Soul Guidance Devices means I have to give it a try no matter what!" Chu Qin responded.
"A Level Nine Soul Tool, a stick containing the power of a Titled Douluo?" Zhu Yundi’s brows knitted together.
"Silly girl, why must a soul tool be in the shape of a stick?" Chu Qin replied with a smile.
"Then how many do you plan to make? I want to place an order for one!" Zhu Yundi hurriedly said.
Chu Qin couldn’t help but flick Zhu Yundi’s fragrant forehead; she was really too naive, thinking that the manufacturing of soul tools was guaranteed to succeed!
"Why did you flick me?" Zhu Yundi’s lips, red as cherries, pouted slightly.
"Do you know how much material it took to make this Level Seven Soul Guidance Device?" Chu Qin said irritably, "A full ten sets of Level Seven materials! In other words, the success rate for a Level Seven Soul Guidance Device is one in ten!"
"What about a Level Nine Soul Tool then?" Zhu Yundi quickly asked.
"I’m not sure, if out of those twenty sets of materials we can successfully make one set, then we’ve struck it rich!" Chu Qin replied.
"That’s true! With just this Level Seven Soul Guidance Device in my hands, I think I could sell it for fifty million golden soul coins on Soul Land, especially to those starting support-class Soul Masters!" Zhu Yundi nodded, "And if it’s a Level Nine Soul Tool, I conservatively estimate one billion golden soul coins!"
