Meaning, they swiftly moved to different positions, encircling the Ghost Emperor...
That way, if danger arose, they could cover for each other...
However, the Ghost Emperor saw through their intentions at a glance but didn't care...
The weak are the weak, no matter how many there are, it doesn't change the fact that they are weak!!
With that thought, he conjured a long spear in his hand, formed from his own blood. Endowed with Divine Power, its strength was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Divine Artifact!
He said coldly, "Come on, now the real battle begins."
After speaking, he targeted Yue Zhengyu and dove down at breakneck speed...
The latter somewhat defiantly huffed, and the Soul Rings under his feet lit up...
"Think I'm the weakest and want to take me out first? Then you've made a mistake!"
With the Angelic Holy Sword materializing in his hand, he gripped it tightly and fearlessly charged forward to meet the attack...
The attacking speed of both was extremely fast; without using spiritual power to lock on, one could only see very blurred afterimages...
With a deep breath, Xie Xie sneered, "So all the attention is on Zheng Yu alone, eh? I'll join in too!"
The Light Dragon Dagger and Dark Dragon Dagger radiated a cold light, shooting out like meteors and launched a sneak attack from a very tricky angle...
Caught off-guard in the midst of the battle, the Ghost Emperor's black robe was instantly torn...
He increased the input of his Divine Power and with one thrust repelled Yue Zhengyu, his cold pupils turning towards Xie Xie, "Boy... as someone from Shrek Academy, you also enjoy engaging in such despicable acts?"
Far from taking offense, Xie Xie shot back, "Tsk, what's despicable about dealing with an evil Soul Master?"
If it were a normal fight, he would have felt shame, but this was a life-and-death struggle, and since the opponent was an evil Soul Master, he naturally took the most ruthless approach!
The Ghost Emperor laughed in extreme anger, "Very well... very well!"
Just as he was preparing to say something, Xie Xie pointed behind him and warned, "What are you laughing at? You better look at what's behind you first."
The Ghost Emperor turned to look, but first the sound of metal buzzing came from below...
Silver brilliance blossomed, and several chains emerged from behind, binding his limbs...
Elsewhere, one of the guest elders bent down with a face full of respect and said, "Sect Hierarch, the Blood God Army is setting up a defense line. It must be that the abyssal creatures have begun their assault on the seal!"
On hearing this, a cold smile appeared on the Ghost Emperor's face, "Good, we have finally reached this moment! Order all evil Soul Masters to prepare to attack the Blood God Army!"
Surely the Blood God Army would not send only small fry if they were to stop the abyssal creatures' attack!
This was the perfect opportunity to attack the Blood God Army!
The guest elder nodded, "Yes, Sect Hierarch!!"
At that moment, Halosa looked at the Ghost Emperor with furrowed brows and said, "Sect Hierarch, have you been waiting all this time just for this moment?"
All this time spent was not worth it!
The other party merely glanced at him but chose not to explain and turned to leave...
Halosa, feeling ignored, felt a surge of anger in his heart but did not act out on the spot...
Leng Yulai, who had also witnessed the scene, said calmly, "Vice Sect Hierarch, since the Sect Hierarch is preparing to attack the Blood God Army, let's seize this opportunity and capture Tang Wulin back to the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Halosa took a deep breath, "Yes, that's the only way now!"
After capturing this fellow, regardless of whether their attack is successful or not, they will return to the Holy Spirit Cult immediately!
...
After pausing for a moment, they spoke again, "That's right, I heard from Qiangu Qingfeng that, inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, he encountered the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython. This matter..."
Gu Yue's gaze fixed on the former, showing no intention to evade, "The Vice Tower Master is correct, this matter is true!"
Leng Yaozhu's face showed no change, "But wasn't the Ten Thousand Beast Platform something you and he created together? Why would it give rise to powerful soul beasts like the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython?"
Gu Yue knew that this matter could no longer be concealed, "It's not like that. Regarding the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, there is something I have not told you!"
"That is, it is an independent realm. The device we built was merely to bridge a connection with it!"
"So you're saying that the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython already existed... no, they must have created this realm, right?"
Midway through her words, Leng Yaozhu suddenly narrowed her eyes...
Gu Yue nodded, "As you said, this realm was created by the Azure Oxpython and Titan Ape together, for the purpose of sheltering soul beasts that were on the brink of extinction!"
"Because of this, I made an alliance with them!"
Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, now understanding why Gu Yue had proposed making the core area off-limits!
If they did not do so, any Soul Master who trespassed would most likely be walking into certain death!
After all, to be able to create a realm, their strength must surely surpass that of an Ultimate Douluo!
"I won't interfere in this matter; after all, you are the future Pagoda Master and have your own perspective," Leng Yaozhu said.
"However, you must be cautious about the Vice Tower Master leaving the Spirit Pagoda; he will definitely attempt to hinder your efforts," she warned.
Gu Yue exclaimed, "What? The Vice Tower Master has left the Spirit Pagoda?"
Leng Yaozhu spoke with a grave expression, "Indeed, just today at noon, he left the Spirit Pagoda to join the federation, all to expose your aims!"
In an instant, Gu Yue's face grew much darker...
If they had known the other party would do this, they would have let him die inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
But now, attempting to enter the federation and kill an Ultimate Douluo was nothing but a pipe dream!
In the Soul Guidance Room of the Douling Empire!
The emperor, Xue Yuntian, looking down at the disciples from the Tang Sect, said, "Thank you to all the Soul Guidance Hall Disciples from the Tang Sect. Thanks to you, our Douling Empire's soul tools are finally taking shape!"
During this time, the number of Soul Masters in the Douling Empire had skyrocketed, and they had even seen their first Seventh-grade Soul Master!
Although this might be normal for the other two major empires, it was of significant importance for the Douling Empire!
The leading Soul Guidance Hall Disciple bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is our duty!"
Having taken so many resources from the Douling Empire, it was imperative to show results, otherwise, they would tarnish the Tang Sect's reputation!
Seeing this, Xue Yuntian spoke again, "This being the case, the agreement between the Tang Sect and the Douling Empire has now been fulfilled. You may leave now, of course, if there is any Soul Master who wishes to join our Douling Empire, I welcome them just as warmly!"
Xie Xie said excitedly, "Done beautifully, I knew Wulin wouldn't let down the face of us Shrek Seven Monsters!"
Yue Zhengyu teased, "Naturally, Wulin won't disappoint us, but when it comes to disgrace, Xie Xie, you excel, since you got knocked out as soon as you entered the stage!!"
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Pagoda Members' expressions changed significantly, casting contemptuous glances at the man lying on the ground, his flesh a blur with only his head remaining!
