Chapter 1618: Seeking Help (Subscribe)

Witnessing the fresh blood that had already dyed the entire village into a purgatory...

One of the evil Soul Masters licked the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly, "Joining the Holy Spirit Cult is great, eh? We can freely hunt and kill any civilians and Soul Masters on the Continent, and we'll even be protected!"

Another evil Soul Master also didn't bother to conceal his glee, "That's right, we've always been suppressed by the royal household of the Xingluo Empire, but now it's different, the springtime for us evil Soul Masters has arrived!"

"Hahahaha, hunt to your heart's content, as long as we absorb the essence of their blood and souls, our soul power rank will advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Everybody, get them, don't let a single one escape!"

"Kill them all!! Kill them all!!"

...

However, the soldiers of the Xingluo Empire who received the notification and rushed here immediately could only see one tragically dead body after another...

Everyone's eyes were wide open in death, filled with intense despair...

One of the soldiers swallowed hard in anger and said, "Damn! We're too late, these evil Soul Masters cruelly slaughtered so many civilians!"

"It's all because of the members of the Holy Spirit Cult who fled from Soul Land, they incited the native evil Soul Masters of Xingluo Land to join forces, thus bringing an even greater threat to the entire empire!"

"If only we had arrived sooner, I would have cut down these scoundrels to the last man! To avenge the dead civilians!"

One of the more rational soldiers took a deep breath and calmed everyone, "Let's keep our cool, everyone, talking about this now is meaningless, we should first report this matter to our superiors!"

With that, the emotions of the soldiers finally stabilized, and they all nodded in agreement...

...

In the Royal Hall of the Xingluo Empire!

The emperor, Dai Tianling, seated upon the throne, was looking down with a grave expression at the many ministers who were bowing deeply...

He immediately said, "You may all rise."

Only then did they straighten their chests, and the foremost minister took a step forward and said with a fist clamped in his other hand, "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness for speaking bluntly, but within our Xingluo Empire, many cases of evil Soul Masters slaughtering civilians have occurred within just a few days, causing the residents of various cities to live in fear!"

"Therefore, out of desperation, I consulted with the other Daijin and together we requested an audience with Your Majesty."

Dai Tianling's pupils contracted sharply, nodding thoughtfully...

So that's why; normally, these ministers are at each other's throats, but today they are so united. To think it was because such an incident occurred!

Following that, he said in a deep voice, "Please elaborate on the details of the incident."

"Yes... Your Majesty!"

Then, the presenting minister began to explain the specific situation...

After hearing their words, Dai Tianling took a deep breath. "So you're saying that ever since the Holy Spirit Cult launched an attack on the Xingluo Empire, they've started to secretly absorb local evil Soul Masters, continuously growing in strength."

The ministers nodded affirmatively...

"That's correct, Your Majesty. I believe that the threat posed by the evil Soul Masters is no longer as it was previously, heed must be paid! Otherwise, great chaos will ensue in the future!"

"I support this, we, the Xingluo Empire, cannot allow the Holy Spirit Cult to continue their wanton acts!"

"Indeed! We must exterminate the Holy Spirit Cult and curb their growth!"

Dai Tianling stroked his chin, pondering, "I wonder if any of the Daijin have any insights?"

After the attack, the Xingluo Empire's royal family lost two Hyper Douluo and was clearly badly damaged!

All things considered, he truly did not know how to deal with the current situation.

The leading Daijin once again stepped forward and said, "To speak of insights would be an overstatement, but I am willing to share Your Majesty's concerns!"

Dai Tianling gave a slight nod, signaling him to continue...

The minister didn't beat around the bush and said seriously, "First, we must strengthen the inspection of the entire empire, of course, including the villages around the cities."

"Second, we need to join forces with the powers of Soul Land, after all, we have always been at a disadvantage in terms of high-level warriors in Xingluo Land!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult must understand this, which is why they are so arrogant!"

"Third, we shall issue this matter as a command to all forces within the Xingluo Empire, asking them to contribute some strength as well!"

Dai Tianling's brows furrowed slightly, "Seek help from Soul Land? This matter, I fear, is not so simple!"

The two empires are in a covert battle. Now that Xingluo Land is in trouble, seeking assistance from those powers will most likely result in significant difficulties and a hefty price!

But... it seems this is the only method left!

...

Of course, the terrifying attack by the evil Soul Masters could not be hidden from the Elders of Sea God's Pavilion either!

Yun Ming's deep eyes flickered a few times, "Oh? Those fellows from the Holy Spirit Cult have made their move? They really can't hold their ground!"

Ya Li sighed, "The evil Soul Masters in Xingluo Land have already been severely suppressed. Now that they have the chance for revenge, I'm afraid they will be harder to deal with than we thought!"

Cai Yue'er nodded, "That's right, Xingluo Land is not like our Soul Land, which is full of Hyper Douluos and even Limit Douluo level warriors; they can't deter the senior ranks of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Turbid World narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I'm afraid it won't be long before the Xingluo Empire sends out a call for help. With the position of Shrek Academy, it won't be easy to refuse!"

"After all, our Shrek Academy stands neutral... and besides, there are so many Inner Court children whose deaths have not yet been avenged!!"

By the time he reached the last sentence, murderous intent was hard to conceal in Feng Wu Yu's eyes, as vast Soul Power surged from within...

Tang Yinmeng gently reminded beside him, "Elder Feng!"

The former then came back to his senses and retracted his aura...

Cai Yue'er then spoke up, "As Turbid World Elder said, our Shrek Academy certainly cannot refuse!"

"Therefore, we need to select one or two Elders to go to the Xingluo Empire!"

Long Yeyue chimed in, "That's a good suggestion, but which Elder should we send? That is worth discussing!"

For instance, Ya Li may be a Limit Douluo, but she's not suitable for assisting Xingluo Land!

But just at that moment, the doors to the Sea God's Pavilion were suddenly pushed open, and Xu Sheng casually took his seat as if nothing was amiss...

With a smile on his cheeks, he said, "Apologies, Elders, I spoke with Lord of the Cold Tower about some matters and am late!"

But the next second, he realized the other Elders were just staring at him, with no response...

Just as the atmosphere grew slightly awkward, Long Yeyue abruptly said, "I think... everyone already has an appropriate candidate in mind."

All members of Sea God's Pavilion, including Yun Ming, voiced in unison, "Mm!"

Cai Yue'er then declared, "Since everyone has agreed, then it's decided."

"Should the Xingluo Empire request assistance, it will be Elder Xu and I who will go!"
