Backed by the Evil Emperor, Demon Forest

"Bro, what the hell are you reading? Why don’t I recognize a single character?" someone asked curiously.

The students in class one looked at him and asked, "No, who are you? How did you end up in our class?"

"Well, I’m just curious, that’s all. Could you tell me what you’re reading?" the person asked with a smile.

While continuing to read, the students in class one answered, "Oh, this is the Heart Sutra, the foremost classic and core scripture of Mahayana Buddhism."

The man looked utterly baffled. He could not understand any of it, but he still smiled and said, "Impressive, impressive. So you all recognize those weird symbols on it?"

"Of course. Most Buddhist scriptures are written in Sanskrit, and every one of us knows it," the students in class one answered.

"Oh… then I’ll be going." With that, the man immediately slipped away.

After he left, the others ran over and asked him what had happened. He told them everything he knew, but they were equally unable to figure out what those books were.

A day passed quickly. The first-year students could choose to go home or stay and watch the matches between students from other grades. The students in class one had no interest whatsoever in watching fights. Rather than watching matches, they might as well read a few more Buddhist scriptures and reach the Fight Buddha realm sooner.

Every one of them had personally experienced the benefits Fight Immortal brought them. Their doubled attack power meant they could now completely sweep through the first and second years, and even most third- and fourth-year students were no match for them.

Seagod Pavilion

Ever since Mo Qi had returned to his youth, he had been unable to sit still. He went everywhere, punishing evil and upholding justice, and hardly anyone recognized him because very few people in the world still knew what he had looked like when he was young. During this period, he had stirred up quite a storm across the Douluo Continent.

While Su Yu was resting within Seagod Pavilion, Mo Qi hurriedly barged in. Su Yu glanced at him and said, "You’re back?"

"Your Excellency, there is something I need to ask your help with," Mo Qi said as he looked at Su Yu.

"Oh? Is there still anything on the Douluo Continent that you can’t handle?" Su Yu looked at Mo Qi in confusion. At this point in time, excluding Su Yu and the others, Mo Qi, a Limit Douluo, could already be considered one of the very strongest experts. After all, only two known Limit Douluo currently existed on the Douluo Continent: Mo Qi and the Tang Sect Master.

Mo Qi’s expression turned grave. "Recently, a sect called the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly rose to prominence. Though they call themselves the Holy Spirit Cult, every member of the sect is an Evil Soul Master who uses an evil Martial Soul. These Evil Soul Masters cultivate several times faster than ordinary soul masters, and they are also stronger than ordinary soul masters!"

"At first, the Holy Spirit Cult behaved themselves and did nothing, so neither our Tang Sect nor Shrek Academy paid them any attention. But a month ago, the Holy Spirit Cult dispatched Evil Soul Masters to massacre remote villages! By the time we discovered it, they had already slaughtered three villages."

"Lao Lin, the Tang Sect Master, was enraged and went alone to storm the Holy Spirit Cult. But news came from Tang Sect disciples that the Holy Spirit Cult actually had two Super Douluo! That strength caught Lao Lin off guard. He is now severely injured and recovering at Tang Sect headquarters, while the Holy Spirit Cult immediately relocated and can no longer be found."

"An organization that harms people everywhere must be eliminated immediately! I have already sent all inner sect disciples to search for the Holy Spirit Cult, to prevent the next village from being massacred. All available Tang Sect disciples have also been mobilized, but we still have not found the slightest trace of the Holy Spirit Cult. That is why I can only come and seek your help, Your Excellency. Please help the Douluo Continent eliminate this scourge!"

Su Yu rubbed his chin. "I didn’t expect the Holy Spirit Cult to possess such strength in this era already. Two rank ninety-five, one rank ninety-four, one rank ninety-two, one rank ninety-one, and they also have the Little Overlord backing them."

Mo Qi’s expression grew even graver when he heard Su Yu’s words. He had not expected the Holy Spirit Cult to be so powerful! Having five Titled Douluo was already an extremely formidable force, and these five Titled Douluo were Evil Soul Masters. Their combat power was likely even greater than that of ordinary Titled Douluo!

"Your Excellency, who is this Little Overlord you mentioned?" Mo Qi asked curiously.

Su Yu smiled. "The one ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts."

"Your Excellency, are you saying that the Holy Spirit Cult has colluded with the Evil Emperor? I’ll head to the Demon Forest immediately!" Mo Qi’s gaze turned cold.

Su Yu said, "Don’t rush. Even if you go, you won’t be able to defeat them. Those five Titled Douluo alone can trap you, let alone with the Evil Emperor added in."

Mo Qi said, "If we bring Shrek Academy’s Titled Douluo and the Tang Sect’s Titled Douluo with us, I refuse to believe we can’t destroy the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Twelve Titled Douluo would indeed be enough, but you still shouldn’t act too rashly. The Holy Spirit Cult managed to secretly develop into such a powerful organization, so they must be extremely skilled at fleeing. If you charge over now, they will likely hide without a word, then return years later once everyone has lowered their guard."

Su Yu looked at Mo Qi. That was exactly what had happened in Peerless Tang Sect: the Holy Spirit Cult went into hiding, then returned during the Dragon King era. The Holy Spirit Cult of the Dragon King era had been terrifyingly powerful.

"Then what should we do now? What if they massacre another village? Are we supposed to just watch?" Mo Qi sighed.

Su Yu smiled. "Don’t worry. Before they massacre a village, I’ll tell you their location. Have some people lie in ambush. After you deal with them a few times, they won’t dare do this again."

"All right… but, Your Excellency, wouldn’t it be enough for you to personally suppress them?" Mo Qi asked quietly.

Su Yu rolled his eyes at Mo Qi. "I can’t be bothered to fight them. They’re just a bunch of petty clowns. Let them serve as a test for Shrek Academy as it is now. From this point on, you can start figuring out how to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult. You must understand that if even one Holy Spirit Cult disciple escapes, they may be able to make a comeback!"

Mo Qi looked utterly miserable. "Your Excellency, we have to handle this ourselves… isn’t that a little too difficult?"

They could not let a single Holy Spirit Cult disciple escape. Mo Qi truly could not think of any method. Destroying the Holy Spirit Cult would be easy enough, but wiping them out without missing anyone was difficult. He did not even know how many people the Holy Spirit Cult had.

"That’s not my concern. If you really can’t manage it, then eliminate however many you can in the end. Leave the rest for little Wulin to deal with later." Su Yu lay down in his reclining chair and immediately began to sleep.

Mo Qi was speechless. After spending the past few months with him, he had come to realize that although Su Yu was unbelievably powerful, capable, and handsome, he could be a little unreliable from time to time.

I had something to do today, so this book can only have one update. I still need to write three thousand words for the new book too. Sigh.
