After cleaning up the traces, the leading Holy Spirit Cult deacon sneered, "Mission accomplished, the Vanguard Unit sent by the Dou Ling Empire has been completely eliminated."
"Surely, once the Dou Ling Empire's Emperor hears this news, he won't just let it go!"
He then gave the other Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters a look…
Everyone immediately understood and once again concealed their Soul Power, all disappearing from sight…
Meanwhile…
One of the bodies that had just been buried underground suddenly lost its deathly pallor and breathed new life into its being…
With an explosive release of Soul Power, he thrust aside the earth covering him…
After climbing out, he took deep breaths of air…
Despite that, his eyes were still red with blood vessels, "Cough cough… Damn Holy Spirit Cult, daring to ambush us! I must report to His Majesty the Emperor!"
He was originally a trusted agent that Emperor Xue Yuntian had placed within the Vanguard Unit to ensure the authenticity of information!
But unexpectedly, he had encountered the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters along the way, and had it not been for his soul skill of playing dead, he might have gone to Hell just like the others!
Thinking this, he quickly took out a communicator and started reporting the news…
"The Vanguard Unit encountered…"
However, without any warning, his neck snapped instantaneously, and his blood-stained head rolled onto the ground…
His crazily bulging eyes seemed not to have realized how he died!
The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master, hiding in the shadows and wearing a mask, slowly emerged…
After glancing at his corpse, he said indifferently, "Didn't expect there to be one still alive. Truly worthy of the Dou Ling Empire's Emperor!"
A Soul Ring under his feet lit up…
He extended his right hand, a flame exuding a pitch-black aura in his palm, and tossed it onto the corpse. Like maggots, it clung to the body, consuming it until nothing was left…
A large living man, as if he'd never existed at all!
…
Holy Spirit Cult!
The mission successfully completed, the deacon in red robes looked up at the Ghost Emperor with a reverent expression…
"Sect Hierarch, as per your command, our people have already traveled to Soul Land and have completely eradicated the Vanguard Unit dispatched by the Dou Ling Empire!"
Under the Ghost Emperor's mask, his eyes filled with coldness as he sharply asked, "Did they leave any traces?"
The former shook his head, expressing his meaning very clearly!
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor then folded his hands behind his back, satisfied, "Good, with this, the Dou Ling Empire's Emperor will have no choice but to send troops to Soul Land!"
To induce the Dou Ling Empire to attack, he had made countless preparations!
This time, he was determined to rule the entire Soul Land!
The deacon hesitated for a moment, then said in an almost inaudible voice, "Sect Hierarch, forgive my bluntness, but such a tactic will hardly deceive the Dou Ling Empire's Emperor."
"If he insists on not allowing the Dou Ling Empire to launch an attack on Soul Land, we should…"
The Ghost Emperor waved his hand, with a very confident tone, "No, Xue Yuntian is a clever man, even if he knows that the Vanguard Unit we dispatched was killed by our Holy Spirit Cult, he will still act according to my plan!"
The deacon gasped in admiration upon hearing this, "Truly worthy of the Sect Hierarch!!"
After a second thought, even the Demon Emperor and the others are probably just a part of the Sect Hierarch's plan, right?
His reverence for the Sect Hierarch grew even stronger in his heart…
The Ghost Emperor paid him no more attention and instead looked off into the distance...
To himself, he mused, "The Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, now three have fallen, truly laughable."
And the one responsible for all this was none other than the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Demon Emperor!
But it doesn't matter, one day she will pay a terrible price!
...
Spirit Pagoda, within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
After listening to Gu Yuena's words, the Azure Oxpython's brows furrowed at first but soon relaxed...
"Gu Yuena, your words make sense, but my brother and I cannot lend you our hands, you can only rely on yourself!"
Gu Yuena, faced with rejection, did not fly into a rage but casually said, "I never thought of asking for your help in the first place, I just wanted to confirm if it was feasible!"
In her view, the only reason the Azure Oxpython and Titan Ape stood with her was for the ultimate goal of revitalizing the Soul Beast Clan!
The Azure Oxpython nodded to show understanding, "Do whatever you want to do, my brother and I will not help you, but we will also not stop you."
"However, you must think clearly about the consequences!"
Gu Yuena's idea was too audacious; it could potentially provoke conflict between the Divine Realm and the Lower Realm!
All he could do was remind her.
Gu Yuena pursed her lips and said softly, "Mhm, I will bear the consequences of my own actions, I will not drag anyone else into it."
Meanwhile, the urging voice of the Titan Ape echoed in their sea of consciousness…
"Big brother, haven't you finished talking yet??"
Being one of the controllers of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform but pushed to the side, he felt a bit disgruntled.
Gu Yuena gave the Azure Oxpython another glance before saying, "Then, I shall take my leave!"
In the blink of an eye, she left the Ten Thousand Beast Platform...
No sooner had her presence disappeared than the Titan Ape rushed over, full of curiosity, and asked the Azure Oxpython, "Big brother, what exactly did Gu Yuena tell you? It's all so secretive!"
The Azure Oxpython rolled his eyes, "It's none of your business, why ask so many questions!"
He had promised Gu Yuena to keep it a secret, so it was better not to tell his brother.
The Titan Ape was now displeased and rebuked, "Not my business? Then why is it your business, big brother?"
The Azure Oxpython, annoyed, pushed him away, "Why all these questions? If you really want to know, go ask Gu Yuena yourself!"
Perhaps it was precisely because of the latter's character that Gu Yuena preferred not to tell him.
The Titan Ape blinked and quickly grabbed onto his arm, "Ayo, my dear big brother, just tell me, or else my heart will itch!"
This made the Azure Oxpython feel queasy inside, raising his right hand subconsciously, "Little brother, you're already so old, playtime is playtime, but if you keep acting like this, believe it or not, I'll slap you to death!"
...
Having left the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, Gu Yuena had just arrived outside...
When she found Di Tian and other ferocious beasts surrounding her...
The atmosphere was heavy...
Finally, Gu Yuena was the first to speak, "Di Tian, what are all of you doing here?"
Di Tian said impassively, "Your Highness, we were worried that the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape might attack you. We stayed here to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform at the first sign of trouble!
After all, last time, due to the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython concealing the truth about the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, we almost made enemies of them!"
Gu Yuena opened her mouth, touched, but still reminded them, "Thank you, everyone, but there's no need for such measures, the Titan Ape and the others must have their own difficulties!"
It's very possible that they were ordered by the Sea God not to reveal it!
