90 Joining A New Organisation

Sheng Lingtian and Song Weihan were surprised by this sudden idea. Looking at Sheng Feilong, Song Weihan couldn't help but frown lightly. "Feilong, are you aware of what kind of organisation Daedalus is?"

Sheng Feilong looked at his Master and nodded quickly. Remembering what She Meixiao had told him earlier, he was able to quickly answer the question. "Madam She told me that Daedalus is an organisation that takes care of Soul Master with dark or evil attributed Spirit Essences. They are a really uncommon organisation, but what they are doing is still amicable."

Listening in from the side, Sheng Lingtian frowned lightly. If this was really true, it might not be a bad idea to have his son join them. Just from the current situation, they would at least be able to protect him. Before he could speak up, Song Weihan had already taken the lead, speaking to Sheng Feilong with a cold tone. "Is that what She Meixiao told you?"

Hearing the question, Sheng Feilong flinched before he slowly nodded. Song Weihan sighed, then told him the truth. "While that in itself is true, it doesn't represent everything that Daedalus does. They are at constant odds with real evil Soul Masters, fighting it out again and again. While the Federational government, the Spirit Pagoda and even Shrek do the same, none of them are as aggressive as Daedalus; As long as a real evil Soul Master makes an appearance, they're the first to go ballistic."

Sheng Feilong scratched his head light, thinking abut his Masters words for a moment. "But, isn't that something good? Maybe they're going a bit overboard, but they're doing it for the good in the end, aren't they?"

"You don't quite seem to get it. The members of Daedalus are lunatics that give all evil Soul Masters the fault for their own plight. They hunt, kill, torture and deal with those evil Soul Master like madmen. Moreover, they're completely inconsistent in their doing; Sometimes, when the Federation or others are hunting down specific evil Soul Masters, Daedalus interferes, saying they're the ones that will deal with them. There are multiple cases of Daedalus actually taking these evil Soul Masters under their protection instead of elimination them. And do you know why?"

What Song Weihan just told him, shocked Sheng Feilong lightly. Although he didn't believe that Daedalus would be innocent, he didn't think they would be so extreme. He shook his head at Song Weihan's question, before the latter continued in a plain tone. "Because it would be a waste. They take in strong evil Soul Master, train them themselves, making them obedient to the organisation and use them as fighting forces. Nearly 60 percent of Daedalus' top fighters are made up of true evil Soul Master, that have killed dozens if not hundreds of innocents."

Sheng Feilong frowned. He was now feeling slightly uncomfortable being here as well, but another question surfaced in his head nearly instantly. "If they're really so bad... then how is Madam She involved in it? Since she's a Titled Douluo, she should be one of the top members, right?"

"She Meixiao is one of Daedalus' three Vice Leaders. All of them are Titled Douluos, and above them is only the true leader, a Hyper Douluo who's supposed to be rank 96.", Song Weihan said with the same plain tone, but Sheng Feilong still seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. With a small voice, Sheng Feilong spoke up once again. "...They're letting the evil Soul Masters make amends for their own doing... Is that really so bad?"

Song Weihan remained silent for a moment before letting out a quiet sigh. He glanced at Sheng Lingtian, secretly speaking to the latter with a spiritual message. 'Brother Sheng, I think I'll let Feilong join Daedalus for now.'

Sheng Lingtian slightly flinched, glancing at Song Weihan with a confused expression and he soon heard Song Weihan's voice in his head again. 'He seems to have some sort of affection to She Meixiao since she's the one who rescued him. I don't think he'll listen to us for now, so I want to let him experience this for himself. She Meixiao won't do anything, that I am sure about.'

Sheng Lingtian glanced at Song Weihan again, lightly nodding his head this time, before Song Weihan spoke to Sheng Feilong after a light sigh. "Very well. If you want to join Daedalus, then I won't stop you. But you must neither reveal your bloodline to them, nor the Doomstinger Dragonfly's Soul Bone."

Sheng Feilong hastily agreed to this as he didn't want to reveal the Soul Bone or his bloodline, anyways. Song Weihan then continued to warn him about a few more things like not using his Netherworld Putrefaction Demon Spirit Essence if he didn't have to, keeping away from the organisations core missions and the like. Basically, Song Weihan asked him to be a regular member and hold back for now.

After that, they exited the training hall. Just outside the door, She Meixiao was already waiting for them. With a small smile on her face, she greeted the three of them. Sheng Feilong returned the greeting quickly while the other two just nodded. After that, Sheng Feilong looked at She Meixiao with a serious expression. "Madam She, is it possible to go somewhere where we can talk in private?"

She Meixiao was slightly surprised, but still led them to another location; her actual office, where no one else was allowed entry without her permission before turning back to Song Weihan and Sheng Feilong. "So, what it is that you wanted to talk about?"

Sheng Feilong lightly bowed to her with a somewhat awkward expression. "Madam She, I'm really sorry; I lied to you before. The truth is, I have indeed awakened a second Spirit Essence... And it's related to the greyish green vapor that you saw before..."

Sheng Feilong proceeded to tell She Meixiao about the matter of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon in detail, only letting out the parts concerning the Doomstinger Dragonfly's tail type External Soul Bone. Otherwise, he was completely honest, even telling her about the encounter in his spiritual consciousness as well as the memories of his fight with the Doomstinger Dragonfly.

She Meixiao was a bit sceptical at first, but the more Sheng Feilong told her about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon, the more excited she became. As she had talked about with the doctor before, she really wanted to accept Sheng Feilong as her disciple since this power was truly his and with this new information, her desire to rope Sheng Feilong in increased more an more.

Seeing that Song Weihan stood at the side and didn't say anything, she was sure that they had already talked about this, as the former definitely wouldn't allow his disciple to talk about all this otherwise.

When Sheng Feilong came to the point where he explained the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's powers, as well as his uncommon, grey-red Soul Ring, She Meixiao was ready to jump at him and make him her disciple already!

A while later, She Meixiao took Sheng Feilong to register with the organisation and formally join them. Sheng Lingtian went with him, while Song Weihan asked to speak with her alone while the two others were occupied.

Sheng Feilong and Sheng Lingtian were taken to sign a few documents, while the former also underwent a few tests – mainly to see his cultivation level, age and the likes, nothing special – and when he returned, She Meixiao and Song Weihan were still gone.

Playing with the little badge in his hand, Sheng Feilong suddenly remembered that his Spacial Ring was still with Shrek Academy and that he hadn't gotten it back yet. He looked at his father, bringing up the issue but the latter just smiled lightly. "Don't worry, Feilong. While you were gone, your master had already obtained your Spacial Ring from Shrek Academy. It's currently at the new laboratory, so you'll still have to wait to get it back, though. Just put the badge into your pocket for now."

Just as they had finished talking, Song weihan and She Meixiao came back. Both of them seemed rather calm, but the latter's expression quickly turned into a smile when they drew near. Standing in front of Sheng Feilong, She Meixiao smiled brightly once again before explaining the situation. "Sheng Feilong, I've had a little talk with your Master just now and we've come to an agreement. So, I have a question for you. Would you be willing to become my disciple, as well?"
