Holy Spirit Cult!
All the high-ranking members, including Dark Bell, had already gathered here!
The gaze of Ghost Emperor, hidden beneath his mask, fell upon the Dark Bell as he inquired, "Nanali, how goes the mission in Dragon Valley?"
Upon hearing this, Dark Bell replied without changing expression, "Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, the first batch of Tang Sect disciples who entered Dragon Valley have been assassinated by us inside."
"As for the spoils, we only managed to extract some stones capable of shielding soul sense detection from Dragon Valley!"
Ghost Emperor's brow furrowed slightly, "Is that all?"
He was clearly dissatisfied with the gains from Dragon Valley!
Dark Bell nodded, "Yes! According to the evil Soul Masters who managed to escape, besides some unknown creatures, there's nothing particularly special about this Dragon Valley!"
After hearing this, Dark Blood Devil scoffed, "I think we shouldn't waste any more time exploring this Dragon Valley. It would be better to completely swallow up the Tang Sect and other forces of the Xingluo Empire!"
If they hadn't wasted time on this Dragon Valley, they might have already taken down the little Tang Sect Branch by now.
Leng Yulai glanced at him with cold eyes and sneered, "Foolish! Is your head filled with nothing but fighting and killing?!"
Dark Blood Devil didn't argue back, but a thick murderous intent silently surged in his eyes as he clenched his fists and thought to himself, "One day, I will tear this guy to pieces!!"
A mere level 97 individual continuously provoking him!
Halosa, on the other hand, flashed a cold and sinister look in his eyes, "Perhaps... the evil Soul Masters who entered Dragon Valley didn't meet the certain conditions, which is why they returned empty-handed!"
Now that the control of the Demon Emperor over him had completely vanished, he had finally returned to his true self.
Seeing this, Dark Bell spoke with a calm face, "We cannot rule out this possibility, but I feel we should not delay our plans to conquer the Xingluo Land because of this Dragon Valley!"
No sooner had these words fallen than Leng Yulai voiced his objection, "No... the fact that this stone can shield the soul sense of an Ultimate Douluo is already proof enough of its uniqueness! There must be something unknown hidden within Dragon Valley that we cannot miss!"
Dark Bell, refuted by the former, showed clear displeasure, "Yet the Evil Soul Masters have already conducted a comprehensive search but found nothing noteworthy!"
Leng Yulai smirked and said, "Really? Who knows if those Evil Soul Masters, out of fear of death, just made a perfunctory round!"
Ghost Emperor's expression grew increasingly ugly as he bellowed, "Enough!!"
In an instant, everyone closed their mouths and turned their gaze toward him…
It was then Ghost Emperor declared, "As for the matter of Dragon Valley, let the infiltrated chess pieces within Tang Sect secretly investigate! If there really is something hidden in Dragon Valley, it's not too late to make a move then!"
"Besides that, we should avoid the support from the major forces of the Soul Land Continent for the Xingluo Empire as much as possible, and then secretly swallow more forces!!"
Those guys, trying to find the lair of our Holy Spirit Cult on the Xingluo Land, won't be that easy!!
...
On the other side of the imperial palace…
Dai Yueyan's gaze rested on Dai Yun'er sitting on the chair, gazing up into the sky alone…
He slowly approached and sat beside her, asking curiously, "Sister, what are you doing here by yourself?"
Hearing his voice, Dai Yun'er snapped back to reality and shook her head, "Nothing much, I just wanted to be here alone!"
Dai Yueyan looked suspicious, "Really? It seems to me you're preoccupied with something on your mind. Why don't you share it with me?"
Dai Yun'er gave him a glance with her beautiful eyes but said nothing…
Dai Yueyan ventured a guess, "Could it be that you're thinking about Elder Xu from Shrek Academy?"
In an instant, Dai Yun'er's cheeks turned a deep shade of red, and she said with some embarrassment, "Brother, what are you talking about!"
Seeing her like that, Dai Yueyan couldn't help but say, "It seems I'm right. But, little sister, Elder Xu is quite a bit older than you. Falling in love with him won't lead to anything!"
Dai Yun'er pouted and responded, "What does that matter? I just have to grow up a bit more!"
With that said, she glanced at her flat chest...
Elder Xu had no interest in her at all, surely because she still looked like a little girl and lacked a woman's charm!
Dai Yueyan chuckled and, unable to help himself, reached out to ruffle her hair, saying, "Oh, my dear sister, don't be silly!"
His sister was truly enchanted by that Elder Xu!
Dai Yun'er pushed his hand away and muttered, "I know the chances are slim... but I still want to try."
But then, seemingly recalling something, her expression darkened...
She spoke out of her own accord, "Brother, do you think our Xingluo Empire can really fend off the invasion of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Hearing this, Dai Yueyan's expression also turned serious...
He spoke with certainty, "Of course, our Xingluo Land's military strength is the strongest among all the continents. Moreover, the two Ultimate Douluo powerhouses who were in seclusion have also emerged!"
"Not long ago, strong warriors from other forces in Soul Land also came to help us! So, all your worries are unnecessary!"
If their Xingluo Empire were to fall to the Holy Spirit Cult, then the entire Xingluo Land would be captured!
This was something no force wanted to see!
His absolute tone revived a trace of a smile on Dai Yun'er's cheeks, "That's relieving to hear, that's good."
I wonder if Shrek Academy will send Elder Xu to help, too?
Dai Yueyan gently patted her back and stood up, saying, "Let's go, little sister, it's been a long time since we've returned to the academy, and even as members of the royal household, it's important that we visit!"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Sea God Pavilion!
Cai Yue'er glanced at the Elders and said, "Elders, to my knowledge, reinforcements from the Spirit Pagoda and War God Hall have already reached the Xingluo Empire!"
"Currently, it seems that only our Shrek Academy hasn't made any move!"
Yun Ming expressed his surprise, "I thought the Spirit Pagoda and War God Hall would not get involved in this matter, but they've been more proactive than us!"
Feng Wu Yu said indifferently, "They are probably considering the threat the Holy Spirit Cult poses upon occupying Xingluo Land!"
Ya Li agreed, "Yes, once the Holy Spirit Cult rules over the entire Xingluo Land, it would be like having an endless supply of evil Soul Masters, bringing disastrous destruction to the other continents!"
Tang Yinmeng said with a light laugh, "Since the other powers have already taken action, our Shrek Academy cannot delay any longer. We can just send two Elders from the Sea God's Pavilion. After all, the Xingluo Empire has no lack of military strength!"
Cai Yue'er nodded, "Then we shall proceed with the prior decision, with Elder Xu and me heading there together!"
Yun Ming's profound eyes turned towards Xu Sheng, inquiring, "Elder Xu, what do you think?"
If he was unwilling to go, no one would feel displeased!
