Chapter 2087: Ominous Omen (Please Subscribe)_1

Xingluo Empire!

Emperor Dai Yueyan's room!

"Is that Yun'er? Come in," he said softly, as if sensing something.

As soon as he spoke, the door was pushed open, and Dai Yun'er, clad in a long robe that concealed her graceful figure, entered...

Her beautiful eyes glanced at Dai Yueyan, who was deep in thought with his head bowed, and she asked in confusion, "Brother, your brow is deeply furrowed, what is bothering you so much?"

He shook his head and sighed, "It's nothing, just some trifles of the empire have been giving me a headache!"

Dai Yun'er pursed her lips, walked behind Dai Yueyan, and slowly began to knead his shoulders with her delicate hands...

"Brother, you've really changed a lot since our father, the emperor, passed away..."

Dai Yueyan's brow lifted slightly, "Yun'er, why do I feel something is off with you today?"

The usual Dai Yun'er would never be as gentle as she was now, let alone offer to massage his shoulders!

Dai Yun'er pouted, "Not at all, I've always been like this, it's just that you haven't noticed."

After a pause, she continued, "Is it because of the Holy Spirit Cult within the Xingluo Empire?"

Dai Yueyan heard this but did not deny...

His expression became grim, "Yes, the Holy Spirit Cult has grown into a towering tree. Even with the full force of the empire, we can't contain its rise!"

"But what truly worries me isn't that, it's that the Holy Spirit Cult has been too quiet lately, a quietness that leaves me unable to sleep or eat in peace!"

Dai Yun'er countered, "Isn't that better? Perhaps the Holy Spirit Cult feels fear towards our Xingluo Empire!"

In recent years, the Xingluo Empire had been committed to enhancing the overall strength of the military and striving to develop soul tools!

Now, although not comparable to the Douluo Federation, it was also showing a trend of catching up!

Dai Yueyan firmly denied this, "No, on the contrary, the Holy Spirit Cult must be brewing an even greater conspiracy! The incident where the abyss of the Soul Land almost got breached, Yun'er, you should be aware of that, it's inseparably linked to the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Being on Xingluo Land, it feels as if... as long as they wish, they could hold the entire Xingluo Empire in their grip at any moment!"

"This feeling, it's like being choked to death, it's unbearable!!"

Dai Yun'er didn't know how to comfort him and softly said, "Brother, relax a little, there will definitely be a way in the future!"

Dai Yueyan leaned his head into her embrace, "I hope so... Alright, tell me why you've come, I don't believe Yun'er you've come just to visit your brother out of the blue!"

Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "Hehe, brother, you really can't be fooled!"

"After you refused me last time, I thought it over carefully and I still want to go to Soul Land. There are many things there I haven't seen!"

Then, she looked at him with expectation...

Just when she thought she was going to be rejected as usual...

Dai Yueyan replied calmly, "Okay!"

Dai Yun'er's face brightened up, "Bro... Brother, you... you actually agreed?"

Dai Yueyan replied irritably, "Yes, otherwise what can I do? Keep you in the imperial palace for the rest of your life? Surely, if father were still alive, he wouldn't allow it either!"

"Yay, I knew you were the best, brother, mua!"

An excited Dai Yun'er couldn't help but plant a firm kiss on Dai Yueyan's cheek...

But before she could finish celebrating, another phrase rang out in the room, "However, you have to promise me one thing!"

Dai Yun'er nodded, "You say it, brother. As long as I can do it, I will agree!"

Dai Yueyan looked at her with a complex expression, "Without my orders, no matter what happens, you must never return to the Xingluo Empire!"

"If you can promise, I agree to let you go,"

Dai Yun'er didn't think twice and promptly gave an affirmative response, "No problem!"

"All right then, go back and prepare. You will set off for Soul Land tomorrow!"

"As you command, my brother!"

After signalling her to proceed, she bounced away...

At that moment, an old man emanating a terrifying aura stepped out from the shadows and frowned, "Your Majesty, are you truly going to let Her Royal Highness the Princess go to Soul Land?"

Emperor Dai Yueyan spoke solemnly, "Yes, my sense of unease is growing stronger. The Xingluo Empire is possibly facing a change of era!"

"As the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, I naturally will not shrink back, but I absolutely cannot let Yun'er fall into danger as well!"

Since ascending to the throne, he had sworn to share the Xingluo Empire's fate!

But at the same time, he had also promised his father that he would protect Dai Yun'er. Therefore, sending her to Soul Land was a last resort!

The old man refrained from further words, "I understand, Your Majesty. I will personally escort Her Royal Highness to Soul Land tomorrow!"

"Thank you for taking care of Yun'er's safety!"

Dai Yueyan felt as if he had lifted a great burden, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief...

...

Holy Spirit Cult!

Leng Yulai crossed her arms and watched the woman in black robes with a cold laugh, "It's been a while, Nanali. I didn't expect you to come back. I thought you had gone to establish a stronghold in Soul Land!"

She had also reached the level of a level 98 Hyper Douluo, so naturally, she was no longer wary of the other person as she used to be!

Upon hearing this, Nanali merely glanced at her coldly, "Spare me the pleasantries. You'd better do something practical for the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Leng Yulai's beautiful eyes hardened, "Hmph, do you think you're the only one who has made contributions to the Holy Spirit Cult? Under my leadership, the number of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters has multiplied several times!"

Nanali said with disdain, "Is that so? In my view, it's just more fodder for war!"

Leng Yulai released her Martial Soul, brimming with the intention to kill. "You're seeking death..."

Nanali simply sneered, "Do you think you're my match?"

To deal with Leng Yulai, she wouldn't even need to exert her full strength!

The Ghost Emperor, who had been silently observing from the side with a displeased expression, intervened, "Enough, this is not the place for your squabbles!"

The Demon Emperor, who had broken free from control, had been holding a superiority over him, and he was currently holding back his anger with no outlet!

The Demon Emperor at the highest seat paid no mind to their quarrel, asking calmly, "Nanali, have you completed the task you were given?"

"Demon Emperor, I have established strongholds in Skysea City on Soul Land as well as the surrounding cities," replied Nanali nonchalantly.

"However, it might take some time to develop!"

She chose not to mention her encounter with Xu Sheng or the matter of Tang Wulin pleading on her behalf...

The Demon Emperor was quite pleased with this answer, "Good, when enough chess pieces are in place, it will be time for us to return to Soul Land!"

By then, even if Shrek Academy joined forces with the other major powers, they might not be able to suppress them!

Dominating three continents was only a matter of time!
