Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 250: Another Continent?

--- Chapter 249 ---

In an inn near the bright spirit city's north gate, a woman in black frowned deeply inside her room because one of her subordinate spiritual signals disappeared.

"I can't contact Order 7 through the spiritual hive," She solemnly muttered while looking at the spirit hall through a half-opened window. "Did something happen to him?"

"Order 7 is a capable man, so I'm probably just overthinking it, " Order 1 released a sigh.

A small golden thread entered the window without Order 1 realizing it.

"Hmm, what's this?" Order 1 slowly moved her gaze to the table. "A thread?"

She was about to pick it up, but then a silver-haired young man abruptly appeared in front of her.

"Yo." Yunlong greeted her casually. "Nice to meet you, spy lady."

"Silver hair, red eyes." Order 1 couldn't help but look at the young man with a surprised expression. "The holy son..."

Yunlong smiled and naturally commented, "You see, my mother already predicted this, but you guys sure are silly."

"To think, a bunch of spirit kings and spirit saints dared to infiltrate the spirit hall, do you think we are a second-class clan or something."

Yunlong tapped his fingers on the table a few times and slowly moved his gaze to the spy lady.

"Hey... Are you looking down on us?" He indifferently said.

'What's this unsettling sensation in my throat...' Order 1 thought while looking at Yunlong's eyes.

"Am I going to die?"

"Well, to be blunt, if you answered my questions. I won't kill you." Yunlong answered while shrugging his shoulders.

"Of course, you can fight me right now."

"If only you can win, that's it."

Order 1 blinked her eyes once, and a black skeleton finger suddenly reached her forehead.

"Understand?" Yunlong asked, to which Order 1 responded with a quick nod.

"Good." He drew back his Susanoo.

Yunlong smirked inside because he had placed a teleportation mark on this woman already.

They had an awkward conversation, but Yunlong could confirm this spy lady didn't lie a single bit because he searched that mosquito guy's memory a few minutes ago.

Yunlong brought the mosquito guy out of his dark forest space and asked, "Where did you guys get this suit?"

Order 1's face became pale for a second, but she quickly calmed herself and answered, "I don't know."

"That was a lie." Yunlong's voice becomes colder for some reason.

"You can't catch me nor kill me now." Order 1 smiled while disappearing from Yunlong's eyes.

Even though it was brief, Yunlong could sense spatial distortion in the room, which caused him to shake his head slightly.

"What a drag. Even though I already gave that woman a chance to survive." Yunlong sighed. "It's useless, I guess."

--- Unknown Forest ---

Order 1 was teleported to an unknown area with her spirit skill and quickly ran away because someone from spirit might catch her up.

"I must reach that place." Order muttered solemnly. "I can't let them know about that information. It's not the right time for conquering this land yet."

"Conquering what? Spy Lady?" Yunlong's voice suddenly entered her ears.

"Huh..?" Order 1 slowly turned her head, and a giant skeleton hand slapped her away.

BOOM!

Order 1 swiftly got blasted through so many trees and couldn't even move a little because that strike destroyed her bones.

She actually was stopped by a boulder, which still cracked because of the impact.

Cough!

"M-My body..." Order 1 coughed blood."

"What's that strike! How could he find me so fast?!" Yunlong appeared in front of her. "Was that what you thought just now?"

Order 1 gritted her teeth and tried to recover her body, but none of the wounds became better for some reason.

"It's useless. You can't heal any injuries or wounds you received from my Susanoo," Yunlong commented. "Well, it was more like a curse, to be honest."

"Honestly, I don't have a name for this ability at the moment, but whatever."

"M-Monster." Order 1 mumbled between her breaths.

"Me? Monster?" Yunlong chuckled while walking toward the spy lady. "That was a good joke."

A few red lights appeared from thin air, and Order 1's eyes immediately went wide. She looked at Yunlong with an even more terrifying look on her face.

Not just one, but six crimson spirit rings are floating around this silver-haired young man. However, under these intimidating glows, his eyes shone even brighter.

"You see these spirit rings? It means nothing in front of that man." Yunlong glanced over his twin dragons' spirit rings.

"He could defeat me with such ease and won't even lose a breath."

"Maybe I am a monster." He calmly continued.

"But... There are greater monsters out there with power beyond the human standard."

Order 1 was confused, but Yunlong didn't care about her reaction at all.

"Have a nice sleep because you won't wake up for a very long time." He approached her and grasped her head tightly.

"Y-You won't kill me, right?" Order 1 struggled for the last time.

"Of course, I won't." Yunlong slowly smiled while looking at the fainted spy. "After all, you will become my puppet from now on."

"Let's go back." He stretched his arms and yawned for a second.

---Supreme Pontiff Palace ---

As Yunlong teleported back to the training ground, a few piles of bodies immediately greeted him. These people were the spy who entered the spirit hall's domain.

"Hmm, good job." Yunlong proudly nodded his head.

Though some of them were injured, none of the spies lost their lives. However, by the sheer amount of the spy, Zhu Zhuqing caught the most.

Chu Yunxi surprisingly was tied with her daughter in second place. Meanwhile, Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue were in third and fourth place.

Unlike the other maids, Zhu Zhuqing's specialty was extremely swift movement and assassination technique, which she honed under Bibi Dong's teaching.

Not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation speed was abnormal compared to her original counterpart.

"What do you want, Zhuqing?" Yunlong asked while looking at the excited cat girl.

"A weapon." Zhu Zhuqing firmly answered.

"What kind of weapon?" Yunlong smiled slightly, which caused Zhu Zhuqing to tilt her head for a moment.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even think it through. She only wants to become more powerful and gain some advantage over other maids.

Even though they are at the same level right now, Zhu Zhuqing realized she has many undeveloped potentials.

The mistress already told her about weapon mastery, which could push one's strength even further. Nevertheless, Zhu Zhuqing still couldn't find the right weapon for herself.

"Don't worry, you can tell me later-." Yunlong was about to walk away, but Zhu Zhuqing instantly grasped his clothes.

"Dagger, I want dagger." Zhu Zhuqing said with a calm look on her face.

"Okay, I'll make it for you." Yunlong patted her once again.

He moved his gaze to other maids and added, "Good job. I already prepared something for all of you."

"Just check the content I shared in your spiritual sea."

Yunlong walked away to Bibi Dong's office and left his maids on the training ground. They were in a trance for a few minutes because he shared 100 or even more ninjutsu.

--- Bibi Dong's office ---

"10 minutes, that was longer than I expected." Bibi Dong commented while looking at Yunlong, who walked into her office.

"There was a spy who teleported away." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders. "I caught her in an instant, though."

"I see..." Bibi Dong nodded her head. "Did you find something from those spies?"

"Well, except for some names, one question was still unanswered," Yunlong replied while sitting on the couches.

He brought out Order 1 from his personal space, quickly catching Bibi Dong's interest. "What do you think about this suit?" He asked.

"Hmm." Bibi Dong keenly observed the suit on the woman's body, which was a tight black suit with a few silverish lines.

"It's just a tight black suit, so besides showing this woman's curve, I don't see anything special." She casually added, which left Yunlong speechless.

"This suit decreased the impact if you wore it," Yunlong responded with a sigh. "I was quite surprised when she didn't receive any great damage, besides broken bones, from my attack."

"Though she's only a spirit saint, I'm confident in my attack after all."

"So... In a way, it's similar to your handkerchief, shock-absorbent." Bibi Dong quickly assumed, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

Yunlong glanced at the suit and commented, "The thing is, it's hard to create such material without special tools and material."

"It's not just one suit, but at least 50 suits."

"Just where did they get these suits created because not saying that we are left behind, but in this current era, even the essence tools were a rare item."

Yunlong woke up his new puppet, and Order 1's blank eyes slowly opened. She didn't show any expression besides a flat stoic look on her face.

"Where did you get this special suit?" Bibi Dong immediately asked.

"We, Black Order, received these special battle suits from a wandering merchant..." Order 1 quietly replied.

"Wandering Merchant?" Bibi Dong frowned.

Order 1 nodded her head slightly and continued, "Not only does this suit increase one's strength and defense by 200%. It consumes our spirit energy constantly, but spirit saints like me won't have a problem using it."

"Where did the merchant come from?" Yunlong bluntly questioned.

"Sun and Moon Continent." Order 1 slowly moved her mouth.
