Chapter 42 The Dark Qilin and Tang Ziran and His Wife
Did Tang Ziran and his wife get into trouble?
Upon learning of this through the divine stone attached to Tang Wulin, Huo Yuhao's first reaction was utter astonishment. Wait, how could he have been captured?
Who the hell arrested you? What good would arresting you do?
In the original timeline, the couple was captured because the Holy Spirit Cult needed them to create a stabilizing drug for the Demon Emperor. In this timeline, the Demon Emperor's emotions are very stable and have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Who would want to capture these two ordinary people with no cultivation?
This matter is far from simple; it could very well involve another continent. This is an illegal negotiation between two continents, and a single misstep could lead to war.
After all, this couple actually came from the Star Luo Continent. Now, excluding the biggest crisis in the original timeline, the only one who came to capture him was the so-called next Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, the number one genius of the Monster Academy, the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu.
The explanation is incredibly melodramatic: Tong Yu and Tang Ziran's mother had a relationship where Tong Yu was a simp and Tang Ziran was a goddess, but Tong Yu wasn't simp enough, and the goddess wasn't evil enough. In the end, Tong Yu killed the goddess and turned himself in, while Tang Ziran survived. She ran away to Douluo Continent and met Lang Yue.
This is the original timeline. Now, who knows what will happen to the Star Luo Continent, or what kind of personality Tong Yu will develop?
"What's wrong?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Yuena noticed that Huo Yuhao seemed distracted and asked what was wrong. Huo Yuhao gave a casual explanation, and after hearing the details, she said thoughtfully, "It seems this matter is indeed worth investigating."
"Oh? This can be considered a way of helping Tang Wulin in disguise. As long as you don't find it disgusting, I don't care."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and drove the car to a parking lot near the college.
"Who said I was investigating for him?" Gu Yuena pouted unhappily. Huo Yuhao, you idiot, the one I've always liked... sigh, blockhead!
"This matter involves a Limit Douluo from Star Luo smuggling himself into Douluo Continent. This is no ordinary incident. Whatever the investigation reveals will be a plus for both of us."
"This kind of diplomatic incident is exactly what the Spirit Pagoda and other organizations, as well as the Federation, have been hoping for. They've long wanted to find a reason to attack the Star Luo Continent."
It's truly intolerable that an enemy from ten thousand years ago could manage to survive and even develop to this extent on the Star Luo Continent. For over ten thousand years, both sides have longed to attack the other's continent.
If it weren't for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect holding them back in Douluo Continent, how could they have delayed taking action against Star Luo Continent until now? However, the longer it drags on, the more intolerable it becomes on Douluo Continent. Internal conflicts are escalating, and the doves supported by Shrek Academy are even inciting the hawks who want to attack to consider destroying Shrek Academy!
After all, everything on the Star Luo Continent was inferior to that of the Federation, yet they always managed to escape unscathed from the Federation's probing attacks, and even caused considerable trouble for the Federation's fleet.
Why is that? And those advanced soul-guided weapons they often bring out are gradually being targeted at the two most treacherous organizations within the Federation.
"It's not necessarily that Tong Yu will come in person. However, the fact that the Star Luo people have been living on Douluo Continent without permission for so many years is enough for the Federation to have leverage over them." Huo Yuhao didn't think they could easily find Tong Yu by having someone investigate. After all, once this matter was taken seriously, things would be different. As long as they could find leverage, they could arrest anyone.

In a hidden stronghold beneath Donghai City.
Tang Ziran and his wife are here. Their current treatment is neither good nor bad. Although they cannot go out, they have food and drink and are not mistreated by anyone.
But how could they accept being restricted in their movements for no reason, especially after they discovered that the people holding them captive belonged to an organization called the "Holy Spirit Cult"?
They also understand history, this organization that briefly flourished ten thousand years ago, only to have its headquarters destroyed and everyone killed by Lingbing Douluo single-handedly.
They actually made a comeback?
How is this possible? According to records, Spirit Ice Douluo dug up the ground four or five times, not missing a single weed. Without a lineage, without a leader, how did they manage to recreate something from nothing?
Ten thousand years ago, without the Spirit Ice Douluo and without relevant verification and prevention methods, evil soul masters were able to run rampant, creating fertile ground for the Holy Spirit Cult to flourish. But where in modern society can you find that?
Based on his own background, Tang Ziran quickly realized a deeper conspiracy: a meticulously crafted web was already being laid against the Federation.
Is the Star Luo Continent the stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult? Tang Ziran felt a chill run down her spine, and Lang Yue also thought of this. What exactly is the Holy Spirit Cult and the Star Luo Empire plotting for so long!
"Are you doing well? Is there anything bothering you?"
Just then, a man slowly walked in. He looked truly frightening. He was about two meters tall, with an extremely burly build, especially his arms, which were much thicker than the thighs of an average adult. His bare arms and face were covered in scales, which were multicolored and looked dazzling.
The moment he appeared, he exuded a menacing aura. His eyes were also strangely colored, one blue and the other red. The blue eyes seemed capable of freezing one's soul, while the red eyes appeared to be burning with flames.
Qilin Douluo Tongyu.
This was the name Tang Ziran had learned from the evil spirit master who was watching over them these past few days. He was also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, the Dark Qilin.
Tang Ziran knew that her every word and action had a significant impact, so after careful consideration, she said cautiously, "It's alright... but I can't go out, I can't..."
"I'm sorry," Tongyu said with a hint of apology on his face, his voice filled with pain. "I'm so sorry to your mother. She's the woman I love most. It's very dangerous outside right now. If you get involved with us and go out, well... Don't worry, it won't be long before you can go back openly. I'll have someone bring that child here too—"
He wants to see Wu Lin? A hint of fear flashed in Tang Ziran's eyes. What does he want to do? Capture Wu Lin as well?
Also, what does he mean by "it won't be long"? What major moves is the Holy Spirit Cult planning?
…………
night.
Moonlight streamed into the room.
Gu Yuena lay on the bed, looking at the soul-guided communicator in her hand, and dialed a number. The mysterious disappearance of Tang Ziran and his wife could be left to someone else to investigate.
But she still had some thoughts about Tang Wulin.
That's the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King. As long as I can retrieve that bloodline, I'll have a chance to become the Dragon God. Although, according to the abstract truth in "Ultimate Douluo," other preparations are still needed.
But she still wanted to test just how far Tang San's spiritual sense could go. After all, "Legend of the Dragon King" said there were only three opportunities to strike!
Then use it all up!
As expected of me, with unparalleled wisdom?
"My lord? What is it?" A hot, mature female voice came from the other end of the communication.
"Purple Princess, I have something to ask of you. Could you do me a favor...? Remember, you don't need to do it yourself. Just test the waters."
