160: Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters

"Alright, I understand." Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes instantly dimmed, her peerless face filled with sorrow.

In the end, she had still underestimated this youth.

Seeing her like this, Shen Guyan felt a pang of pity, but now was not the time for explanations.

However, Leng Yulai, who was beside them, poured cold water on him. "Take control of the Holy Spirit Cult? Just you? Do you really think the Holy Spirit Cult is like those riffraff organizations outside?"

"Since I've already obtained your memories and still dare to talk about controlling the Holy Spirit Cult, I naturally have a certain degree of confidence. You just need to cooperate," Shen Guyan replied indifferently.

"Cooperate with you? You want me, Leng Yulai, to be a pawn for a brat like you?" Leng Yulai sneered repeatedly. "The ability you possess should be similar to that fellow Dark Blood Demon's; it's just a curse seal."

"With your current strength, I'm afraid I could kill you from ten miles away before you even have a chance to activate it!"

"If you kill me, as I said just now, you'll truly have nowhere else to go besides the Holy Spirit Cult," Shen Guyan said tepidly.

"You..." Leng Yulai wanted to say something harsh, but Leng Yaozhu reached out to stop her.

"What do you plan to do next?" Leng Yaozhu's tone was cold, as if she were facing a stranger.

"Let's get out first." Shen Guyan didn't look at her, instead pointing at the inner wall of the time-space divine shuttle.

By the time Shen Guyan and the others emerged from the time-space divine shuttle, it was already evening.

Before obtaining Leng Yulai's memories, Shen Guyan never would have imagined that the destination of the coordinates was actually the Far North Land.

The Holy Spirit Cult of this era had actually been active in this vast and boundless forbidden zone of life!

As soon as they stepped into the World of ice and snow that was the Far North Land, a biting blizzard rushed toward them. However, these Super Douluos remained calm, their Soul Power flowing around them to form an invisible barrier that kept the extreme cold out. Shen Guyan was also happy to walk steadily under their protection.

The sky was obscured by heavy, lead-gray clouds, looking as if it might collapse at any moment. The biting cold wind was like roaring beasts, carrying sharp ice blades and attempting to penetrate their Soul Power barriers. Snowflakes flew densely, like white arrows hitting the barrier with a rustling sound.

Shen Guyan had been wearing the azure dragon mask, the mysterious patterns on it flickering with an eerie green light that resisted the surrounding icy air. His eyes were cold as he scanned the surroundings, showing no fear of this peril-filled region. Instead, he felt a faint sense of excitement and anticipation; after all, the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters was somewhere beneath this extremely cold land.

Under the guidance of Leng Yulai and Nalali, they moved slowly toward the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters. The blizzards of the Far North Land seemed never-ending, and the snow beneath their feet was several feet deep. For a normal person, every step would require effort, but for these Super Douluos, this obstacle didn't affect their pace.

Along the way, the surrounding icy landscape gradually became strange. Giant ice peaks pointed toward the sky like sharp swords. Between the peaks, ice shards would occasionally break off, making crisp sounds that echoed across the silent frozen plains, adding a touch of gloom.

Nalali leaned in close to Shen Guyan, suddenly grabbing his arm and whispering into his ear, "Little Brother, since you've planted your mark in my consciousness, I'm yours from now on. Why don't you just give in to me?"

"That fellow Dark Phoenix, she looks pretty, but she's actually even worse than me. I only collect some resentful spirits, but she directly strips the Souls of living people, turning them into resentful spirits or collecting them to torture... She's truly a bad person. I'm much better than her; I only like the invisible sound waves of resentful spirits. Tell me, am I the kindest person in the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Then you truly are kind," Shen Guyan sneered, responding.

"Your smile is so wicked; it's actually making my heart flutter a bit. Why don't you be my boyfriend? I'm not old, you know. I'm only twenty-seven this year. When you turn eighteen, I'll only be thirty-five. Besides, once we Spirit Masters reach a certain cultivation level, age isn't really a big issue. If you're my boyfriend, you can do whatever you want..."

As she spoke, Nalali lowered her head with a shy expression.

Shen Guyan glanced at her and subconsciously felt she was so beautiful that his heart skipped a beat. At that moment, a wave of coolness came from the mask on his face, instantly startling him and clearing his eyes. Hmm? A Charm Spirit Ability?

Nalali raised her head in surprise; she had clearly noticed the change in Shen Guyan and was even more astonished by his current reaction.

This Little fellow's Spirit could actually resist her Charm? There was even a component of a Domain in it!

"I'm becoming more and more certain that you'll be an extraordinary talent in the future. It's so good that I met you early." As she spoke, she squeezed Shen Guyan's arm tightly against her chest.

From the moment the Soul Power restrictions on Nalali and Leng Yulai were lifted, the two had been constantly trying to rid themselves of that mark, which naturally included attempting to kill Shen Guyan.

However, as soon as their killing intent arose, it would mysteriously dissipate. That feeling of self-negation made the two Super Douluos very uncomfortable.

What exactly was the origin of this guy's Spirit?

Furthermore, there was Leng Yaozhu, who could step in to protect him at any moment!

"Tell me, back in Shrek City, how exactly did you find me the second time?" Shen Guyan suddenly asked. The volume of a Super Douluo's memory was truly staggering, and it would likely take quite some time to fully digest it.

"If you want to know, just give me a kiss. Kiss me and I'll tell you." dark bell Nalali said with a charming smile, looking harmless no matter how one saw it.

Shen Guyan chose not to speak, because people like Nalali had a strong desire to show off; even if he didn't press her, she would eventually say it.

"Really, I was thinking that if you kissed me, I wouldn't tell you. But who knew you'd be so dull? Since you won't kiss me, I'll tell you anyway. Actually, after fighting with me, a sound wave vibration from me is left on your body. It's called Sound Wave Tracking. If a few more days had passed, the vibration would have disappeared, and I would have had no way to find you."

"I just didn't expect to feel the sound wave reappear so soon. Naturally, I followed it that night. But you weren't alone; I was so heartbroken..."

Shen Guyan still didn't speak, knowing that as soon as he did, it would be easy for this woman to throw him off track.

Seeing Shen Guyan's cold temperament, Nalali couldn't help but pout, looking dissatisfied.

"Your bell sounds very nice. Next time I have you kill someone else, you must let me appreciate it properly." Seeing her like this, Shen Guyan's heart stirred slightly as he suddenly spoke.

"Really?" Nalali looked as if she had heard the most beautiful sound. She jerked her head around, her face instantly covered in smiles. She was already very beautiful; any normal male seeing her smile would likely feel a bit dazed.

"Really." Shen Guyan was well aware of Nalali's personality flaws. A woman like her didn't seem too difficult to control.

"I heard Tianfeng say your name is Shen Guyan? From the Shen Family?" A soft energy swirled around the dark bell's fingertips as she asked with a giggle.

"Yes." Shen Guyan didn't deny it.

"Wow, a junior from the Federal Military's Shen Family actually turned out to be such an ambitious Little fellow!" Nalali clapped, then hugged Shen Guyan's arm and shook it again, laughing, "Then tell me, if I work for you, will I have to go to the Shen Family often in the future? If Old Master Shen found out someone in the Shen Family was using Evil Soul Masters to do things, wouldn't they kick you out? Unlike me... I'll only feel bad for Brother Guyan~"

For some reason, hearing her words gave Shen Guyan goosebumps all over, so he simply ignored her.

"Sister Leng, if you're willing to believe me, I'll find a time in the future to explain today's actions to you." As Shen Guyan walked, he suddenly sent a message to Leng Yaozhu's consciousness through the mark.

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu, who was walking behind, widened her beautiful eyes slightly, her delicate body trembling.

Leng Yaozhu didn't answer, but her gaze toward Shen Guyan warmed up slightly.

As they moved forward, Leng Yulai, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped.

Seeing the group of massive figures ahead, Shen Guyan's face first showed a look of surprise, followed by a meaningful smile.

It truly was a small World. Appearing ahead was none other than a group of Titan Snow Demons. These Titan Snow Demons were massive, standing over ten meters tall, their bodies covered in thick white fur that blended perfectly with the snow. Only their eyes, flashing with cold, fierce light, gave away their positions. The Titan Snow Demons let out low growls, clearly viewing these uninvited guests as threats.

A cold-blooded smile curled on Shen Guyan's lips as he whispered, "Just in time. I almost died at your hands last time; don't blame us for being cruel this time."

"What? They hurt you?" Upon hearing this, a flash of ferocity instantly crossed Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes.

"Yeah... it must have been a few years ago. Back then, didn't I only have one ring?" Shen Guyan rubbed the back of his head. If The Zhou Sisters and Zhang Zhenpeng hadn't appeared in time, he might have really met his end here.

"In that case, just kill them." Leng Yulai was the first to attack. She flapped her Dark Phoenix wings, sending a gale mixed with black flames sweeping toward the Titan Snow Demon group. Wherever the flames touched, the ice and snow instantly melted into steam, but soon re-solidified into ice under the low temperature, though this ice appeared an eerie black.

"Me too!" Nalali cackled, shaking the dark bell in her hand even more rapidly. The sound from the bell was like an invisible mental shock, piercing directly into the Titan Snow Demons' minds and slowing their movements. Some Titan Snow Demons even started spinning in place, as if trapped in an endless nightmare.

With two Super Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters attacking together, the Titan Snow Demon group immediately fell into a disadvantage.

These Titan Snow Demons seemed to be enraged. Ignoring their pain, they launched a frantic counterattack against Shen Guyan and the others. One Titan Snow Demon leaped high, its massive foot stomping down toward Shen Guyan.

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu raised her hand and released an even more powerful pillar of golden flame toward the Titan Snow Demon. The pillar of flame was like a roaring fire beast, engulfing the Titan Snow Demon.

The Titan Snow Demon struggled in the flames as it fell to the ground, letting out a series of miserable screams.

As a mental control system Super Douluo, Nalali's ability was fully displayed. The sound of her dark bell became increasingly eerie, and those Titan Snow Demons trapped in mental confusion began attacking each other, creating a scene of absolute chaos.

"There are two ten-thousand-year-level Titan Snow Demons here. Do you want to absorb them as your spirit rings?" Leng Yaozhu remembered Shen Guyan's Breakthrough to the Spirit Ancestor Realm and couldn't help but turn and ask.

Absorbing a spirit ring wasn't like fusing with a spirit soul. Fusing with a spirit soul required an extremely high Mental Energy Realm, but absorbing a spirit ring didn't. This was also the fundamental reason why most experts in the current era had achievements in mental cultivation.

Of course, the vast majority of people could never Cultivate to the mental Realm of the Spirit Ice Douluo of the past. Therefore, it was very difficult for twin spirits to select spirit souls, as not everyone could manage multiple spirit souls.

However, the limitations of traditional spirit ring absorption were too great; a ten-thousand-year spirit ring only granted a Spirit Master one Spirit Ability.

"Let's see. If I really can't use them, just use a spirit tool to seal them and take them back to sell," Shen Guyan said casually. Ordinary Titan Snow Demons were too low-class; if he were to choose, he would choose their king!

The Titan Snow Demon King! One of the Three Great Heavens of the Far North, with a cultivation of two hundred and fifty thousand years, once ranking third in the power structure of the Far North Land!

After a fierce battle, the Titan Snow Demons gradually lost their ability to resist. Their corpses lay scattered across the snow, blood staining the surrounding area bright red.

Nalali and Leng Yulai almost subconsciously moved to collect the Souls of these Titan Snow Demons. There was no helping it; the habits of Evil Soul Masters were ingrained in their marrow and certainly couldn't be changed in a short time.

Leng Yaozhu wanted to stop her sister, but was held back by Shen Guyan. "Let her go. Rest assured, in the future, I will definitely return a normal Leng Yulai to you."

"You..." Leng Yaozhu looked at his calm face, her heart stirring. "Is that true?"

"I won't lie to you. It's just that there are some things I can't tell you yet."

Shen Guyan continued walking forward. By now, they were not far from their destination, the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters!

The closer they got to the Far North core circle, the more frequent the appearances of rare Spirit Beasts became. After all, in such a forbidden zone of life, even the most advanced spirit tools in the World would find it hard to function.

"Crossing this area will bring us close to the Ice Sea of the Far North core region. That is where the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters is located," Leng Yulai explained to her sister, Leng Yaozhu, after returning from collecting quite a few resentful spirits.

"Let's hurry up; it'll be dark soon," Shen Guyan urged.

Seeing his fearless appearance, Leng Yulai couldn't help but frown. "Are you really going to enter the fray? Do you know that entering the Holy Spirit Cult requires being branded with all sorts of curse seals?"

"How can one catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den?" Shen Guyan smiled nonchalantly, then handed a ring he had prepared earlier to Leng Yaozhu.

"This is..." Leng Yaozhu's face flushed slightly as she asked, confused.

"If I really run into danger inside later, I'll need you to support me from the outside. This has a space marker from the Thorn Dragon spirit soul; I can return to your side instantly," Shen Guyan said seriously.
