Chapter 219: He Is Still Alive, So His Stance Is Naturally Already Determined

An old man in a spotless white robe walked in from outside the door; such archaic attire is rarely seen nowadays. His features were plain, his lean and tall figure appearing exceptionally straight and upright. A head of silver-white long hair draped casually over his shoulders, falling past them.

However, his pair of eyes was extraordinarily clear, forming a stark contrast with his weathered, aged face; such a gaze did not belong on an elderly person, yet it appeared on his face all the same.

Seeing the other party enter, Dai Tianling's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly stood up to salute, "Greetings, His Excellency Shenyu."

This old man was precisely the current Dean of Monster Academy, a mighty figure of great renown in the Star Luo Empire, the legendary National Teacher, the one known as the "Shenyu Douluo" — Enci!

He was a legend of a generation in Star Luo.

At thirty years old, he was still an inconspicuous minor Soul Master, merely an ordinary Three-Ring Soul Elder.

By rights, no one would have noticed someone like him.

But he actually relied on his three-ring strength to defeat everyone below four rings in Monster Academy, entering the academy at the oldest enrollment age in its history, attracting widespread attention.

After that, Enci was practically like he had activated a cheat, continuously raising his cultivation at a speed others could not comprehend.

In four years, he went from a petty Three-Ring Soul Elder to a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

Another four years, he went from a Six-Ring Soul Emperor to a generation's Titled Douluo. Thereafter, in roughly the same amount of time, he became a Super Douluo.

When he was fifty years old, he had already stood at the peak of the Star Luo Continent, becoming Star Luo's only Limit Douluo!

To this day, the other party's advancement is still seen as incomparably strange by many in Star Luo.

After all, the Holy Light Dragon martial soul is an extremely powerful martial soul; how could there be a situation of thirty years of mediocrity followed by twenty years of meteoric rise?

Dai Tianling also found part of Enci's cultivation advancement puzzling, but his respect for this person was beyond doubt.

After all, he was Star Luo's only... Limit Douluo in the open.

Enci nodded at Dai Tianling, his gaze slowly sweeping over Duo Qing Douluo and the others; those limpid eyes rippled with a trace of profound light, and he returned the salutes of the several people one by one.

Duo Qing Douluo and Zhen Hun Douluo and the others also returned the salute solemnly.

This was a Limit Douluo, and not one who had just entered the Limit realm; regardless of the stances of both sides, they needed to treat him with caution.

It was just that what surprised them somewhat was the aura on the other party.

That kind of pure light aura absolutely could not be faked; Enci's martial soul absolutely had to be of the light attribute, so how could such a person cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult?

Or rather, why would the Holy Spirit Cult tolerate such a person existing on the Star Luo Continent?

Were they not afraid of suffering backlash, that Enci would ultimately make a move against them?

For a moment, even Duo Qing Douluo, who had received the Tang Sect Branch's intelligence, began to doubt his own speculation.

Had Star Luo truly fallen completely?

Or was it that, with Enci present, Star Luo had not yet completely degenerated into a nation of Evil Soul Masters?

Just then, a voice transmission from Huo Yuhao entered the minds of the several people, making their hearts tighten, "Light-type martial souls appearing inside the Holy Spirit Cult is not without precedent; ten thousand years ago, when the Holy Spirit Cult was at its peak, there was such an example — the Death God Douluo, Ye Xishui."

A light-attribute Soul Master appearing in the Evil Soul Masters' lair? What does that count as? Is it very strange?

Look at the Death God Douluo ten thousand years ago, a freak with an Evil Martial Soul and a Bright Phoenix as Twin Martial Souls. She did whatever she had to do. Never saw her have any mishaps from being an Evil Soul Master, nor saw her show much mercy.

She was one of the few lunatics whose ambition still came first after falling in love. And she even pulled the Dark Holy Dragon into the Evil Soul Master camp together; if the Dragon God Douluo hadn't been brain-dead back then and followed them into the Holy Spirit Cult, you'd see whether the Holy Spirit Cult would accept him or not.

And from the fact that the Dawn Society has already existed for hundreds of years, it can be seen that the Holy Spirit Cult's influence on Star Luo could not have formed overnight; it probably already has a segment of history.

In that case, does Enci, born in such an environment, still have a choice?

This is far more terrifying than Long Xiaoyao being bewitched into the Holy Spirit Cult by Ye Xishui. Long Xiaoyao was just love-brained; Enci has no other choice.

Your life, your friends, your teachers, your relatives, even your wife are all in Star Luo, and they are even Holy Spirit Cult people.

The resources you cultivated to reach your current level were likely all provided by the Holy Spirit Cult; they stood right beside you watching you grow, handing you a bit of truth at the opportune moment, watching how you would choose...

So what if it's the Holy Light Dragon martial soul? So what if it restrains yourself?

If it's this version of enduring humiliation for ten thousand years, wanting to strike back at the Douluo Federation's demonic cult prototype — the Holy Spirit Cult — they can tolerate this Limit Douluo Enci, and they also have enough time and means to control him.

It took him fifty years to grow from a minor Soul Master to a Limit Douluo; under the situation where Star Luo upper and lower levels were all controlled, Enci fundamentally could not do anything.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, and used the intelligence he had obtained most recently to remind them: "I've been to the Star Luo Auction; the human pills used for cultivation are still being auctioned through official channels. Clearly, the Holy Spirit Cult's power here is deeply rooted. In this situation, the Holy Spirit Cult might still ignore other people, but a powerful light-attribute Soul Master growing to a certain extent would definitely be valued by them. And since he hasn't died, then..."

Huo Yuhao didn't finish speaking, but Duo Qing Douluo and Zhen Hun Douluo had already understood his meaning, completely putting away the doubts in their hearts.

A Holy Light Dragon who grew up under the Holy Spirit Cult's eyelids didn't die; this can only explain that in the Holy Spirit Cult's view, the other party would not cause them any loss.

And even the only Limit Douluo is like this; it also indirectly explains that the Holy Spirit Cult has already completely controlled the overall situation of the Star Luo Continent!

"Truly insidious."

Duo Qing Douluo looked at the Shenyu Douluo's gentle face as he laid out the plan in detail, secretly thinking.

They actually dispatched a light-attribute Limit Douluo to assist them... if they hadn't obtained that intelligence along the way, wouldn't they have been trapped to death by Star Luo?

After all, even if they didn't trust Star Luo, when fighting Evil Soul Masters they would still trust the owner of this Holy Light Dragon martial soul.

With his martial soul's attribute, he would inevitably be irreconcilable with the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Holy Spirit Cult would also target him... just like in the original work the Holy Spirit Cult very much wanted to kill the Holy Spirit Douluo; anyone would think this way.

And if they really thought that way, the ones who would die would be them.

Thinking of this, Duo Qing Douluo looked at Huo Yuhao with a complex gaze.

The human pill intelligence was originally discovered by Huo Yuhao; if not for the other party, what kind of ending would they have met on this mission to Star Luo?

While Duo Qing Douluo was distracted in thought, Enci laid out the plan in full, and then when Zhen Hun Douluo asked for the Holy Spirit Cult's hiding place, he gave a location, "The Dawn Society is the Holy Spirit Cult's subordinate force, just wearing a layer of skin!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

The Dawn Society says the Star Luo Federation and the Holy Spirit Cult are in cahoots.

The Star Luo Federation says the Dawn Society is the Holy Spirit Cult's branch.

How about we don't go encircle and suppress them; you guys fight it out first, decide a winner, then we'll talk.
