Chapter 45 An Attack from the Holy Spirit Cult!
"Lord... do you mean you want to use the assassination to deplete the power left behind by Tang San?"
After a moment of contemplation, Leng Yulai finally understood what Su Mo meant.
"good!"
Su Mo nodded in agreement.
With Tang San's divine sense present, it would be almost impossible to kill Tang Wulin directly.
But he could annoy Tang San and cause others to constantly assassinate Tang Wulin, thus depleting the power Tang San had left in Tang Wulin's body.
Although the energy consumed may be limited, it is still better than doing nothing.
"But if we do that, won't we alert Tang San and make him suspicious?"
Leng Yulai frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "The Holy Spirit Cult going to such lengths to send someone to assassinate a Soul Master. Something doesn't seem right at all, does it?"
Su Mo slightly curled the corners of her lips and confidently asked, "Do you remember Wu Changkong, whom I asked you to investigate before?"
Upon hearing Su Mo mention Wu Changkong, Leng Yulai's eyes lit up instantly, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips. "Lord, do you mean to frame that idiot Hummingbird for this?"
"correct answer!"
Su Mo nodded in satisfaction and reached out to pinch Leng Yulai's soft and bouncy cheeks.
When Tang Wulin joined Class 5, Su Mo had Leng Yulai investigate Wu Changkong's background.
Goodness, I was shocked when I found out what I was looking into.
Long Bing, a disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Elder Red Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi, a core disciple of the Tang Sect, and his lover, died at the hands of his father, Dark Hummingbird, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Sect, while protecting him. All kinds of buffs were directly stacked to the maximum.
The last person to have this kind of buff was Kakashi.
Therefore, the moment Su Mo saw Wu Changkong's information, he was certain that Wu Changkong would become Tang Wulin's mentor at Donghai Academy.
As Su Mo expected, Wu Changkong, also a student in Class Zero, cared for Tang Wulin in a way that no one else could match.
Look, it's only the first day of the holiday, and Wu Changkong has already rushed off to Tiandou City with Tang Wulin.
Through Consortium B's surveillance system that spans the entire Federation, Su Mo could easily track down Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin's whereabouts.
Su Mo had already received the news when Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin bought their Soul Guide Train tickets to Tiandou City.
"I'll reveal Wu Changkong's whereabouts to that hummingbird guy right now!"
Leng Yulai acted immediately, picking up her dedicated soul-guided communicator and rapidly sending Wu Changkong's location to the Dark Hummingbird.
The moment the message was sent, Leng Yulai raised her chin triumphantly and glanced at Su Mo as if she were asking for credit.
Su Mo understood and reached out to gently stroke Leng Yulai's soft, long hair.
Feeling the warmth from Su Mo's palm, Leng Yulai closed her eyes contentedly like a kitten.
A faint blush rose on her cheeks, her lips curled up slightly, and she wore an expression of unprecedented satisfaction.
But Leng Yulai's happy expression quickly faded, and her bright eyes gradually became veiled with reluctance and loss.
Because she knew she was leaving again.
Feeling dejected, Leng Yulai resembled a kitten about to be abandoned. She silently curled up next to Su Mo, wrapped her arms around him, and inhaled his scent deeply.
It seemed they wanted to memorize Su Mo's scent before leaving.
Looking at Leng Yulai's humble appearance, Su Mo couldn't help but recall how he felt when he first met Leng Yulai.
Su Mo first met Leng Yulai during a sightseeing event organized by the Spirit Pagoda.
The Leng Yulai of that time was completely different from the one she is now.
At that time, Leng Yulai was timid and introverted, like a pebble lying on the side of the road, with a pitifully weak presence.
Whether it's her peers or her parents, everyone's attention is focused on her exceptionally talented older sister, Leng Yaozhu.
No one paid attention to her, this nobody, so much so that even when Leng Yulai got lost, no one noticed.
By the time the people at the Spirit Pagoda realized that Leng Yulai was missing, this nobody had already been wandering in the perilous Star Dou Forest for three days and three nights.
If he hadn't intervened and saved Leng Yulai, who was on the verge of death, she would probably have become food for other soul beasts.
Su Mo rescued Leng Yulai out of compassion, not for any other reason.
A seven or eight-year-old girl, dressed in rags and with her face covered in mud and blood, huddled under an ancient tree like a wounded little animal, shivering with fear and helplessness in her eyes as she looked around.
Even the most hard-hearted person would find it impossible to stand idly by when they see this.
Su Mo didn't expect that after he saved Leng Yulai, Leng Yulai would become so attached to him that she refused to leave him and return to the Spirit Pagoda.
In the end, Su Mo had no choice but to tell Leng Yulai that he would need her help in the future and hoped that she could return to the Spirit Pagoda to cultivate properly.
In order to be able to help Su Mo in the future, Leng Yulai reluctantly left the Star Dou Forest and returned to the Spirit Pagoda.
Later, after Leng Yulai cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, Su Mo sent her to the Holy Spirit Cult as an undercover agent.
Thinking of this, Su Mo felt a pang of guilt.
"The matter with the Holy Spirit Church isn't urgent. How about you stay here for a month and keep me company?"
"Long live the Lord!"
Upon hearing that Su Mo hadn't asked her to rush back to the Holy Spirit Cult, Leng Yulai was as happy as a little girl, grabbing Su Mo's head and kissing him fiercely.
……
Tiandou City
Tiandou Cemetery
Wu Changkong led Tang Wulin along the straight road toward the deepest part of the cemetery.
Since it was Tang Wulin's first time visiting a cemetery, he looked around like a curious child.
Soon, Wu Changkong stopped in front of a tombstone that read "Tomb of Long Bing".
Upon seeing the tombstone, Wu Changkong's aloofness and gloom vanished, replaced by an unprecedented tenderness.
Wu Changkong took out a white cloth and carefully wiped the dust off the tombstone. Tang Wulin didn't dare to step forward to help, and could only stand aside and watch quietly.
Wu Changkong spent over an hour cleaning a tombstone that wasn't very big.
"Bing'er, you are in another world..."
Just as Wu Changkong finished cleaning the tombstone and was about to pour out his heart to it, a skull exuding a strong dark aura silently flew towards Tang Wulin from the darkness.
"careful!"
Sensing the impending danger, Wu Changkong forgot all about being sentimental and shielded Tang Wulin behind him, summoning his martial soul, the Heavenly Frost Sword.
A flash of sword light, and the giant skull, wreathed in eerie green flames, was cleaved in two, turning into wisps of ghostly energy that drifted away.
Wu Changkong looked coldly at the empty corner opposite him.
"come out!"
As soon as Wu Changkong finished speaking, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the dark corner.
The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, with only his eyes, which gleamed with an eerie light, visible.
"As expected of the special instructions given by Lord Hummingbird, Wu Changkong, you are qualified to become a member of my Soul-Slaying Banner."
The other person's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.
Wu Changkong, who had been calm and composed, changed his expression drastically the moment he heard the other party utter the words "hummingbird." His eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at the other party, and he asked in an icy tone, "Are you a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Chapter 46 Battle Armor
"How dare you address the Holy Church by its name!"
The man in black spread his five fingers, and a jet-black banner exuding a strong evil aura suddenly appeared in his palm.
The banners fluttered in the wind, and the lingering images of countless wronged souls surged, struggled, and roared upon them.
A heart-wrenching, chilling wail rang out, and a cold aura spread, making the surrounding air feel frigid.
Protected by Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin looked at the men in black with an evil aura and felt a tightness in his heart, so he couldn't help but shrink back.
"Contra!!!"
Sensing the aura emanating from the man in black, Wu Changkong's expression turned somewhat grim.
He never expected that the Dark Hummingbird would send a Soul Douluo to kill him.
"Wu Changkong, now that you know my cultivation level, why don't you surrender?"
The man in black spoke in a low, cold voice, and the banner in his hand fluttered loudly.
"Perhaps I am kind-hearted and can grant you and your student a quick death."
"dream!"
Wu Changkong responded in an icy tone.
"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
The man in black gently shook the Soul-Slaying Banner in his hand, and a cold wind suddenly arose on the field, with mournful wails coming from all directions like demonic sounds.
While these sounds had no effect on Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin, who was standing behind him, was in big trouble.
With Tang Wulin's current cultivation level, he was simply unable to withstand the sound waves that carried a mental attack.
Amidst the wailing, Tang Wulin felt as if his head was about to explode, and he covered his ears in pain.
"Hehe~"
