After a few seconds, Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er stepped into the main hall, respectfully addressing Dai Tianling seated on the throne, "Father!"
Then, they turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Elder Xu!"
Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "There are no outsiders now, you don't need to be so constrained!"
Dai Yun'er's face immediately broke into a smile, "Oh, Father, you should have said so earlier..."
With that, she skipped over to stand beside Dai Tianling...
This action made Dai Yueyan's eyelids twitch...
Apart from his own sister, perhaps no one else dared to be so casual in front of Father...
Xu Sheng laughed lightly, "Your Majesty's relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess and Crown Prince is truly harmonious!"
Dai Tianling did not deny it, but looked dotingly at Dai Yun'er...
The latter seemed to think of something and asked curiously, "Elder Xu, were you not injured yesterday? I heard even Sect Master Mu from the Body Sect fell unconscious!"
Xu Sheng said softly, "I'm fine..."
Only then did Dai Yun'er breathe a sigh of relief, and then with a blush on her delicate cheeks, she quietly asked, "Then... Elder Xu, when... when are you planning to return to the Shrek Academy?"
Xu Sheng did not intend to conceal it, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er exclaimed, "So soon?"
Realizing her reaction was somewhat excessive, her face flushed even more...
The time spent with Xu Sheng were her happiest days, and thinking that she wouldn't have the chance again made her heart feel a bit of regret...
Dai Tianling teased, "Yun'er, your expression is almost saying what's on your mind about your face"
Although she told herself yesterday that she had come to terms with it, it seems she still can't bear to part with Elder Xu!
Dai Yun'er reached out and hugged his arm, acting coy, "Father~~ how can you make fun of me like that"
Dai Tianling took a deep breath and sighed, "I personally asked Elder Xu as well, he has no intention of staying in our Xingluo Empire, which is indeed a big loss for the royal household!"
Xu Sheng glanced at him, "Your Majesty, although I cannot join Xingluo Empire, it doesn't mean we cannot establish a deep friendship, wouldn't you agree?"
Dai Tianling paused for a moment, suddenly understanding his meaning, then laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Elder Xu is right! It seems I have limited vision!"
Xu Sheng stretched lazily, casually saying, "Your Majesty, the little ones from our Academy are very much looking forward to the compensation from the Xingluo Empire!"
Dai Tianling patted his chest, "Rest assured, Elder Xu, the compensation is ready! It can be handed to the teams entering the quarterfinals tomorrow!"
After a pause, he added, "Additionally, since Elder Xu is leaving tomorrow, for my sake, please stay tonight for dinner!"
"Since Your Majesty has said so, I won't be polite then!"
...
After returning to the branch of the Holy Spirit Cult in Xingluo Land...
Several evil Soul Masters at the Super Douluo Level cursed, "Damn it! That guy named Xu Sheng has repeatedly disrupted our Holy Spirit Cult's plans, it's simply arrogant!"
"Indeed, first secretly intercepting Dai Yun'er, and now forcing our Holy Spirit Cult, if not for his overly powerful strength, he would have been slain long ago!"
"If you ask me, the Vice Sect Hierarch should issue an order for the powerhouses of our Holy Spirit Cult to act together, I don't believe he can withstand it!"
Leng Yulai coldly reprimanded, "It can't be... Xu Sheng's strength is unfathomable, even I have no hope of winning against him!"
Beside her, Nanali rarely agreed, "That's right, Dark Hummingbird was slaughtered without any power to retaliate! Xu Sheng's strength has exceeded the description of a man!"
.....
Meanwhile, outside the imperial palace, Dark Blood Devil said coldly, "Why haven't Nanali and Leng Yue Lai sent a signal yet? Could it be they've forgotten?"
Including them, all evil Soul Masters had been lurking here for a number of hours, yet there was no sign of any message from them...
Hearing this, even Halosa's brows furrowed...
Immediately, he turned to an evil Soul Master, and said gravely, "You, go in and inform them, find out what's happening!"
He remembered instructing Nanali and Leng Yue Lai to send a message at the first opportunity!
If the plan goes awry because of them, he will not be lenient!
The evil Soul Master bowed his head, "Yes, Vice Sect Hierarch"
With that, he concealed his evil aura and sneaked into the imperial palace through a passage controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult...
Dark Blood Devil watched and spoke again in a displeased tone, "Vice Sect Hierarch, I don't think they have placed your words in their eyes!"
Halosa's eyes swept across him without any emotion, and coldly said, "Dark Blood Devil, I know you were scorned by them after your soul power rank dropped, but the most important thing now is to complete the task, understand?"
Dark Blood Devil did not speak, but his eyes were filled with a deep shade of gloom...
...
Near the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Cult!
The army from the War God Hall stationed here was quietly discussing...
One of the army members said, "Tomorrow is the day the forces join to cleanse the Holy Spirit Cult, I almost see these evil Soul Masters fleeing in panic!"
Another army member felt emotional too, "These days camping here, I've been anxious every moment, it's finally coming to an end!"
"That's right, once we wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult, our War God Hall's status on the Continent will surpass Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy!"
"The position of the Continent's top force was due for a change, Spirit Pagoda was purged for collaborating with the Holy Spirit Cult, while Shrek Academy suffered heavy losses, now... only our War God Hall's power remains at its peak!"
Listening to their talks, several solemn-looking War Gods squinted and reminded, "We can't relax, we're still on the Holy Spirit Cult's territory, perhaps they've already found us, just haven't acted yet!"
"Yes, the Holy Spirit Cult is always cunning, likely to deliver a fatal strike when we let our guard down, everyone should be cautious!"
Little did they know, not far away, a significant number of evil Soul Masters had surrounded them from all directions!
They even set a prohibition to prevent Soul Masters with spatial abilities from escaping!
The leading Super Douluo sneered, "The Sect Hierarch guessed right, these guys are here indeed, but... shall we act?"
Beside him, several other Super Douluo echoed, "Among them, there are at least three Super Douluos, facing them head-on may lead to significant losses even if we can slay them, it's better to wait for tonight to catch them off guard!!"
"Hehehe~~ So many powerhouses from the War God Hall, absorbing their blood essence will surely enhance our strength greatly!"
"Blame it on their bad luck, anyone interfering with our Holy Spirit Cult has only one path - death!!"
In their eyes, these members of the War God Hall had clearly become prey waiting to be caught!
