Chapter 19
Suicide and Return to Heaven
The Illusionary Brain Douluo was stunned for a moment, clearly he hadn't considered this question either.
Leng Yaozhu sighed inwardly. Although the people of the Body Sect did have some outstanding abilities, their minds did not seem to be very sharp.
Even though this Martial Soul is the Brain Douluo, his mind isn't that sharp.
Given that everyone is clueless, it's not surprising that the Body Sect could decline to the point of being almost nonexistent on the Douluo Continent.
"Vice Tower Master, your insight is profound. However, why did you bring me along today?"
"If it's just to see the abilities of those two children, then I naturally have no doubt about it."
Faced with a question he had never considered before, Douluo of Illusion simply chose to change the subject.
"Because that grandson of the Qian Gu family plans to send someone to harm my two disciples."
"I'd like to see just how incredibly stupid that grandson can be, and how Gu Lie and Na'er plan to deal with it."
The moment the ancient family was mentioned, Leng Yaozhu's lips fell completely.
Since Illusionary Brain Douluo was already considered one of her trusted subordinates and was about to become the mentor of Gu Lie and Na'er, she naturally had no need to be hypocritical with him.
The arrogance of the Qian Gu family was no secret to the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda.
With his grandfather being the master of the Spirit Pagoda and several Limit Douluo in his family, Qian Gu Zhangting was actively recruiting the descendants of some of the mid-to-high-level members of the Spirit Pagoda.
Those who obey Qian Gu Zhang Ting will only receive a tiny bit of benefit, while those who disobey will suffer greatly.
Even children who have close ties with the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda will be subjected to cold violence led by Qian Gu Zhangting.
Although the members of the Qian Gu family also disapproved of this phenomenon, they chose to let it go because they believed they had the upper hand.
Other high-ranking officials could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and tried their best to protect their own children and reduce the impact of the passive-aggressive behavior.
The children who were victims were too young to fight back against the formidable Chigo Takei and his loyal henchmen.
As for those who are older, they are not the target of Qian Gu Zhang Ting.
Because of the care Leng Yaozhu gave them, who treated them like her own children, Gu Lie and Na'er became one of the few Soul Masters in the upper echelons of the Spirit Pagoda who were not harmed by Qian Gu Zhangting.
However, it is precisely because of their relationship with Leng Yaozhu that Gu Lie and Na'er have already become thorns in the side of Qian Gu Zhangting.
Whether it's to satisfy his twisted desires or to use his children to control Tianfeng, Qian Gu Zhangting will not give up on taking action against Gu Lie and Na'er.
Even if he himself couldn't enter the primary Spirit Ascension Platform because his cultivation had broken through to the Quasi-Soul King level, it would be easy for him to send a few relatively weak lackeys to the primary Spirit Ascension Platform to cause trouble for Gu Lie and Na'er.
Although Leng Yaozhu said that this was a test of Gu Lie and Na'er's survival ability on the Ascension Platform during the riot, she would not give Qian Gu Zhangting's lackeys the opportunity to harm her child.
If things don't go well, she can easily have Gu Lie and Na'er leave early and enter the Ascension Platform again another day.
The Ascension Platform lasts for seven days during the riot period. Given Leng Yaozhu's status in the Spirit Pagoda, she could allow Gu Lie and Na'er to enter several times without even needing to make special arrangements.
The expression on the Phantom Brain Douluo's face also became much more serious, his gaze fixed intently on the screen, as if he were to help Gu Lie and Na'er keep watch.
The people of the Body Sect are very stubborn. If someone dares to touch their students, they will definitely not let it go.
Inside the Ascension Platform, Gu Lie was unaware that Leng Yaozhu and Illusion Brain Douluo were watching them. At this moment, he suddenly stopped, shielded Na'er behind him, and stared ahead with a solemn expression.
His senses didn't detect any moving target, but for no apparent reason, he felt an extremely dangerous feeling ahead.
His spirit, the golden koi, also appeared on its own, constantly leaping above the ancient hunter's head, looking extremely anxious.
There is malice ahead.
This is the message that the golden koi carp conveyed to the ancient hunter.
"Brother, could it be... that dog-donkey's man?"
Na'er also realized the problem, and the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in her hand.
"It must be. They only used two spots to deal with me. That dog-donkey's amazing wisdom certainly won't disappoint."
Gu Lie activated his first soul skill again. With the amplification brought by his golden body and the fusion with Na'er's dragon power, he quickly sensed the source of the danger.
There were only two people, and judging from the slight fluctuations of soul power emanating from them, they should be two Soul Masters.
Moreover, there seemed to be traces of some kind of powder around them.
It seems that in order to ambush Gu Lie and Na'er, Qian Gu Zhang Ting has made considerable preparations for his lackeys.
Since Tang Wulin could increase his classmates' defense by putting armor on them in advance in the original work, he could also use some medicinal powders he carried with him in advance inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Although soul tools are not included, there is no need to carry a bag of medicine powder using a soul tool.
"Two Soul Masters, I wonder what kind of Martial Soul they possess. Na'er, do you want to fight, or do you want to hide?"
"Brother, is that even a question? Even if it's a Soul Master, we'll beat them up the same way!"
After confirming the number and approximate strength of the opponents, Gu Lie turned to Na'er and asked for her opinion.
Na'er also revealed a very kind smile, which perfectly echoed the smile that unconsciously appeared on Gu Lie's face.
After making their decision, the two continued forward, heading towards the place where the two men were lying in ambush.
Meanwhile, Sima Jie and Cheng Ji, who were ordered to teach Gu Lie and Na'er a lesson, had their hands clenched so tightly that their palms were covered in sweat.
Although Qian Gu Zhangting promised them many benefits, and even gave them the extra spot they had been dreaming of to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period, they instinctively chickened out after learning that the target of the attack was supposedly the personal disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
But now that the die was cast, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out the ambush according to Qian Gu Zhang Ting's plan.
Now, they realized that their ambush had been discovered, so they simply abandoned the ambush, released their martial spirits, and walked out of their hiding place.
"Gentlemen, will you leave the Ascension Platform yourselves, or shall we escort you away?"
Sima Jie suddenly had a long spear in his hand, and three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared behind him.
"Brother Jie, why waste your breath on these two brats? Even if they really are disciples of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, we have Brother Zhang Ting backing us up!"
"He's the tower master's own grandson, why would he be afraid of a woman?"
Cheng Ji suddenly held a halberd, seemingly very dissatisfied with Sima Jie's words.
"Ha, I didn't expect that Qian Gu Zhang Ting would actually find two idiots to deal with us!"
"But you're wrong, the problem now is..."
"Will you commit suicide yourselves, or will we do it for you?"
A powerful aura erupted from Gu Lie and Na'er, pressing down on Sima Jie and Cheng Ji, making it difficult for them to breathe.
