Douling Empire!
An elderly man with white hair and bony hands slowly opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, the mission has failed. The team sent to Soul Land did not capture those Spirit Souls!"
"Not only that, but a few Spirit Pagoda Members were let go. I fear our Douluo Empire is already under suspicion!"
Xue Yuntian, the emperor of Douluo Empire, suddenly scowled and angrily shouted, "A bunch of useless fools! Can't even handle this simple task!"
Don't they realize how important these Spirit Souls are to Douling Empire?
Half of the empire's Soul Masters have had their soul power rank stagnate for years due to the lack of Spirit Soul supply!
The elderly man spoke soothingly, "Calm your anger, Your Majesty. Although the Spirit Pagoda has become suspicious, I've secretly sent people to eliminate them all, so the Spirit Pagoda cannot prove we acted!"
Without evidence, the Spirit Pagoda cannot strike against the entire Douling Empire!
With those words, Xue Yuntian's expression softened a little, "Thanks to you, otherwise Douling Land would have faced even more dire consequences!"
This time we failed, but next time, the Spirit Pagoda will certainly be on guard!
What should Douling Land do?
As if reading his mind, a gleam appeared in the elderly man's cloudy eyes, "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. The Spirit Pagoda has undergone a regime change, and the current Pagoda Master is the level 99 Sky Phoenix Douluo!"
"Perhaps we can use the reason of the new Pagoda Master to mend fences!"
In the past, Xue Yuntian was too impulsive, causing Douling Empire and Spirit Pagoda to fall out completely, losing Spirit Soul supplies entirely!
This disadvantage has been growing in recent years, currently causing dissatisfaction among all Soul Masters across the Continent!
If this is not resolved, even the entire empire may be overthrown!
Xue Yuntian hesitated, "But… we recently tried to capture Spirit Souls by sending Soul Masters and killed some Spirit Pagoda Members!"
"The commotion hasn't subsided, so discussing this with the Spirit Pagoda might confirm our actions!"
The elderly man replied unflinchingly, "Your Majesty has a point, but… to set Douling Empire back on track, this is the only way!"
Alternatively, Douluo Empire could research Spirit Souls on their own, but clearly, that's impossible!
If it were that easy, the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't have monopolized all Spirit Soul supplies as it does now!
Xue Yuntian took a deep breath and earnestly said, "I understand. Once the storm settles, I will personally invite the Spirit Pagoda."
"Even if… it comes at a monumental cost!"
Only then did the elderly man show a satisfied smile, slightly bowing, "Your Majesty, it's good that you understand. My body won't last many years, and I just hope to see you secure the throne before then!"
Xue Yuntian hurriedly helped him up, "Don't say that, the future of Douling Empire can't do without you!"
...
At this moment, in the Blood God Army!
Indeed, there is a person in his designated resting room, and in front of him stands a massive screen…
Vaguely visible, one can find the scenes are all from various parts of the Blood God Army's interior!
Zhang Huanyun glanced casually, then exclaimed, "Seems like there's nothing unusual today. It's uncertain if Tang Wulin, that little guy, is accustomed to being in the Blood God Camp."
Perhaps I should find an opportunity to meet him!
As this thought formed, Zhang Huanyun noticed a highly intriguing scene on the screen…
...
Before the two evil Soul Masters could react, a golden dragon roared as it rushed towards them, opening its massive mouth to swallow them whole…
After a few seconds, the golden dragon, deprived of soul power support, gradually dissipated into particles…
Lying on the ground were the bodies of the three evil Soul Masters, a brief sensing would reveal they were no longer breathing!
Ling Wuyue finally recovered her composure, swallowing hard and said, "Killed two Soul Douluos and one Titled Douluo directly. This… is their Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Truly terrifying!"
Today, she felt her worldview had been shattered!
Even Tang Wulin himself rubbed his eyes, saying in disbelief, "Hiss… Gu Yue, when did our Martial Soul Fusion Skill become so powerful?"
Though they could release Martial Soul Fusion Skills years ago, it was the first time using it against formidable foes!
Unexpectedly, they annihilated the opponents completely!
Gu Yue heard him, shook her head, and replied, "I don't know either, maybe it's due to our strength increase!"
Yet in her heart, she found it quite reasonable!
Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, in theory, awakens the Dragon God through bloodline, not just a simple fusion of two Martial Souls; naturally, its power is much larger!
Tang Wulin pressed his lips, "No matter what, it's good that we were able to eliminate them. Let's leave quickly before the other evil Soul Masters arrive."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Mm!"
Afterward, the two advanced as fast as possible, and surprisingly entered the Blood God Army's defensive line with ease, encountering minimal interference from evil Soul Masters…
After taking a deep breath, Tang Wulin carefully set Ling Wuyue down, feeling a sense of relief expressed on his cheeks, "Gu Yue, Wuyue, we… have finally made it back alive!"
Ling Wuyue, with a complex expression, looked at the former, "Mm, we made it back alive, Wulin, thank you for today! I owe you a big favor!"
Perhaps she'll remember this man who didn't abandon her under numerous evil Soul Master attacks for a lifetime!
As if recalling something, she added, "Of course, you too, Gu Yue!"
Despite being strangers, he risked his life to rescue her!
Gu Yue glanced at her, lightly saying, "No need for favors, we're all comrades. Quickly, get your broken arm reattached!"
Ling Wuyue paused, awkwardly saying, "In my current condition..."
Both her arms are broken now, and she can't reattach them by herself!
Tang Wulin stepped forward, crouched down, and said, "Let me do it, Wuyue, bear it!"
Then he stretched out his hands, gripping her broken arm and trying to reposition it…
Subsequently, under the rapid flow of his soul power, the broken arm gradually reattached…
Tang Wulin stood up again, explaining, "Wuyue, the bones are reattached, but it might be impossible to move in the short term!"
"Therefore, rest here while Gu Yue and I head to the frontline!"
Gu Yue looked at him and did not disagree…
Ling Wuyue earnestly reminded, "I understand, be very careful!"
...
In the abyss, warriors drenched in sweat look at the abyssal creatures attacking once more ahead, feeling their minds numb…
