Originally just mentioned in passing, Di Tian didn't show any emotion...
"Since Your Majesty has said so, I will no longer interfere in this matter!"
Saving Tang Wulin was simply out of the question!
Gu Yuena waved her hand, "Alright, if there's nothing else, leave the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The Spirit Pagoda still requires your surveillance!"
With her staying at the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the affairs of the Spirit Pagoda were temporarily handed over to Leng Yaozhu!
However, the latter was ultimately human and had not earned complete trust, which was why Di Tian and Bi Ji needed to supervise her!
Di Tian nodded slightly, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will keep an eye on Leng Yaozhu's actions and will immediately stop her if anything unusual occurs!"
He was well aware that without the power provided by the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform would collapse!
Therefore, Gu Yuena was staying here to stabilize the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
Of course, this also proved something, that Gu Yuena's power had reached an extremely terrifying level; even he could not fathom its depth!
Gu Yuena pursed her lips, "Good!"
With those words, Di Tian transformed back into a black dragon and soared into the clouds...
Only after his presence had completely vanished did the soul beast cubs, who were frightened into fleeing, slowly emerge, making "squeak squeak squeak!" noises...
Clearly, they were dissatisfied with Di Tian's appearance...
Gu Yuena chuckled softly, soothing them, "I'm sorry for scaring you!"
After these words were spoken, the irritation on the faces of the soul beast cubs gradually dissipated, and they gathered around her again...
...
Douling Empire!
Looking at the Ghost Emperor, who was suppressing his evil aura, Xue Yunfei squinted his eyes, "Ghost Emperor, are you here just to deliver this message?"
The Ghost Emperor said indifferently, "Indeed. The defensive lines of Soul Land have been continuously breached by the Abyssal Creature Army and are about to fall. It's the right time for the Douling Empire to make a move!"
Seeing this, the elder by Xue Yunfei's side leaned in and whispered a few words...
Only then did the former show a cautious expression, "Is that so? But the information I've obtained indicates that the federation and other powers are still combating the Abyssal Creature Army, with no sign of being overrun!"
The Ghost Emperor, undisturbed by having his bluff called, remained expressionless, "They're merely resisting futilely. You should be aware that with the strongest Abyssal Emperor personally taking action, the federation's defensive lines will crumble in an instant!"
Xue Yuntian would not be swayed by these words, saying word by word, "Then we shall wait until that time to take action! The Douling Empire cannot afford to gamble."
The Ghost Emperor's brow furrowed slightly, "By that time, the Xingluo Empire will certainly not stand idly by, they might take action first!"
"Once the Xingluo Empire takes control of Soul Land, you should be very clear about the position of the Douling Empire!"
He didn't care whether the Douling Empire would be destroyed or not; as long as it could bring trouble to Soul Land, that was enough!
"Ghost Emperor, are you threatening me? Don't forget, I am the emperor of the Douling Empire!"
The Ghost Emperor had the object he wanted in his possession; whether or not to take action against Soul Land was not his decision to make!
"Bang!!"
The Ghost Emperor's expression chilled, and his evil aura burst forth violently, filling the entire palace with a strong suffocating sensation...
The elder immediately stepped in front of Xue Yuntian, releasing his Martial Soul to neutralize the oppressive force!
He shouted coldly, "Ghost Emperor, think carefully, taking action here signifies the end of our cooperation with the Douling Empire!"
The killing intent in the Ghost Emperor's eyes intensified, but after a few seconds, it all dissipated...
He sneered, "No need to be so tense, I just wanted to remind His Majesty the Emperor not to break the promise, otherwise..."
"Hehehe..."
His figure gradually became illusory, and finally, along with his presence, disappeared entirely...
```
After carefully sensing the palace and confirming that no traces of any presence were left, the elder turned to Xue Yuntian, "Your Majesty, the Ghost Emperor has already departed!"
Xue Yuntian then returned to his senses, "Hmm!"
"Although I don't know why the Ghost Emperor is urging the Dou Spirit Empire to invade Soul Land, it's definitely up to no good!"
"Your Majesty is wise; the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters are certainly not to be trusted," the elder lowered his head and praised...
This time, he distinctly felt the murderous intent mixed within the Ghost Emperor's aura!
Just then, a soldier of the Dou Spirit Empire burst in, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, a Messenger from the Xingluo Empire has arrived!"
Xue Yuntian asked with confusion, "The Xingluo Empire? What are they sending people here for?"
The Dou Spirit Empire and the Xingluo Empire had always kept to themselves, so it was surprising that the latter would take the initiative to send a Messenger!
The elder pondered, "Your Majesty, do you wish to receive the Xingluo Empire's Messenger?"
Xue Yuntian shook his head and declined, "No, just say that I am ill."
The former gestured in acknowledgment, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
The Xingluo Empire!
Dai Yueyan, upon receiving the news, was furious and exclaimed, "What? The Dou Spirit Empire actually refused to receive our Xingluo Empire's Messenger?"
Whether in terms of national power or technological level, the Xingluo Empire far surpassed the Dou Spirit Empire!
In the past, they were received with the highest honors, but this time, the Messenger they sent was turned back!
The Xingluo Empire soldier charged with delivering the message said softly, "Back to Your Majesty, it wasn't the Emperor of the Dou Spirit Empire who personally ordered the refusal; it seemed he was ill."
Dai Yueyan glanced at him coldly, "Fool, do you not understand that is just an excuse?"
Realizing his mistake, the soldier looked terrified and lowered his head, "I am ignorant, please forgive my anger, Your Majesty!"
Dai Yueyan shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Upon hearing his command, the Xingluo Empire soldier actually left the palace by "rolling" out...
This scene further fueled Dai Yueyan's rage, "Such a fool does not deserve to be a soldier of my Xingluo Empire!"
One of the Daijins swallowed nervously, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will deal with him personally!"
The rest of the Daijins also lowered their heads, not daring to meet Dai Yueyan's eyes, fearing they would draw his ire upon themselves!
Dai Yueyan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the tumult within him...
His mind continuously warned himself not to lose his senses over this fool...
After a lengthy pause, he finally said, "What do you all think, my Daijins?"
The Daijins hesitated for a moment, certain that Dai Yueyan's mood had stabilized, before they ventured, "Your Majesty, the Dou Spirit Empire's actions must be suspicious!"
"Indeed, our Xingluo Empire's Messengers were going to visit them, and it would have been an honor for the Dou Spirit Empire. Their failure to recognize this is an affront!"
"I suspect that the Dou Spirit Empire's action might be related to the invasion of the Soul Land by the Abyssal Creature Army!"
This statement made Dai Yueyan's eyes shine, "Continue!"
Seeing his interest, the speaker went on to share all of his thoughts...
After listening, Dai Yueyan seemed contemplative, "If that's the case, it's no wonder the Dou Spirit Empire has made such a decision!"
It seems that some views need to be changed!
