Chapter 2590: Demon Emperor's Backup Plan_1
The next day, the emperor's personal guard in charge of commanding this operation immediately assembled a portion of the soldiers from the Tiandou Empire…
Visible to the naked eye, the vast and spacious area was filled with soldiers clad in armor, each with a robust figure...
They were discussing cautiously...
"What on earth has happened? Why have we suddenly been called together like this? Could it be that a war is about to break out?"
"Impossible. There haven't been any major conflicts with other empires that could lead to a war breaking out without reason!"
"That's strange then. This assembly doesn't look like it's for something minor!"
"Yeah, I certainly don't want a war to break out—after all, we soldiers will be the first to be sacrificed!"
Seeing this, the leading man sternly rebuked, "Everyone, silence! Otherwise, you will face military law!"
At these words, all soldiers closed their mouths and fixed their gazes on him attentively...
He then began to explain, "Just a short while ago, our forces stationed around the secluded mountain range were attacked by unidentified personnel, resulting in a loss of over hundreds of men!"
The soldiers' eyes widened, their expressions one of disbelief…
Which power or sect could be so bold as to launch an attack on the troops of the Tiandou Empire!
He continued, "For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered all the present soldiers of the Tiandou Empire to search the mountain range and to bring the mastermind behind the scenes to light! If necessary, leave no survivors!"
"Is that clear to everyone?"
The soldiers snapped back to attention, their voices loud and clear, "Understood!"
The man nodded in approval and waved his hand, "Very well, set out immediately!"
Visible to the naked eye, the soldiers quickly formed into over a dozen rows, marching grandly toward their destination...
After heaving a sigh of relief, the man quickly walked to a nearby spot and greeted with a smile, "For such a trivial matter, it was hardly worth troubling Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"
The other person was none other than Xue Qinghe!
He spoke in a gentle tone, "It doesn't matter; after all, this matter concerns the face of the Tiandou Empire,"
"Don't you agree, Xu Sheng?"
Xu Sheng chimed in from the side, "Yes, the Crown Prince is quite right!"
He had not intended to come, but to ensure the success of the plan, he had come nonetheless!
Yet the man glanced at Xu Sheng with undisguised disdain in his eyes…
Just someone picked up by His Highness, the Crown Prince, he had no right to speak with him!
Thinking this, he immediately bowed with his hands clasped, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, it will take several days to reach the mountain range. I won't disturb you any further and shall take my leave now!"
After receiving approval, he followed the pace of the military forces...
Xu Sheng didn't pay it any mind and asked Xue Qinghe, "Ren Xue, where do we go now?"
The latter replied without skipping a beat, "The plan has started, let's return to the sleeping palace. This incident has inevitably caught Xue Ye's attention; we must not do anything further that might raise suspicions."
Otherwise, even if his identity was not uncovered, it would still be a significant hindrance!
In fact, it wouldn't be impossible to be under constant surveillance at all times!
Although... that was already the case!
Xu Sheng expressed his understanding, "I see! Let's go back then. It's the perfect time to instruct you in cultivation!"
On the entire Continent, other than himself, only Qian Renxue could break the norm of Innate Soul Power.
Xue Qinghe turned his head, decisively rejecting the offer, "I can cultivate on my own!"
She was very confident in her own talents and did not need someone else's guidance!
Of course, in front of Xu Sheng with Innate Soul Power Level 90, that wasn't much...
...
The Demon Emperor, who had narrowly escaped the Holy Spirit Cult, didn't know how far she had fled...
Only that the scalding blood had already stained her entire body...
Finally, the overwhelming dizziness made it impossible for her to go on. With a "thump," she collapsed on the cold ground...
She spat out one weak sentence after another, "Ghost Emperor, Halosa, how dare you betray me... Even in death, I will not let you go!!"
However, this action also caught the attention of the surrounding civilians...
"What... What's wrong with that person? Covered in blood, could it be, she's being pursued?"
"I don't know, but it looks like she has suffered serious injuries!"
"Hiss... We can't just watch her die like this; we must save her!!"
"That's right, as long as she gets proper treatment, she should be able to survive!!"
Thus, these civilians quickly gathered around and helped her up...
The Demon Emperor's beautiful eyes suddenly hardened as she said with a cold tone, "Thank you, or else, I really couldn't have survived!"
Before the civilians could respond, she explosively unleashed the last of her strength, completely inundating the civilians nearby...
"Pfft!"
The intense pressure instantly exploded the civilians' bodies into a blood fog, then condensed droplets of essence blood which merged into her body...
The once fatal injuries healed at a visible speed...
After about ten seconds, the Demon Emperor's complexion visibly improved, and there was no longer any sign of weakness...
Licking her blood-red lips, she said coldly, "It's a good thing I devoured the essence blood of these humans, otherwise, even if I didn't die, my cultivation level would have plummeted!"
As the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, she naturally possessed the methods of an evil Soul Master!
As for feeling guilty towards humans, she had no such concept in her heart!
To her, the entire human race, including the Sea God, should all be annihilated!!
Thinking this, a fierce killing intent once again flashed in her eyes, "Ghost Emperor, Halosa, do you think by expelling me from the Holy Spirit Cult, you can completely seize control? Naive!"
She had anticipated such a situation long ago and had made preparations in advance!
No doubt, interesting things were about to happen!
...
Meanwhile, in the federation!
A federation member tasked with message delivery barged into the Council Hall, anxiously proclaiming, "Report… Reporting to the Chairman, Council Members, just a short while ago, we received a message, it seems to be related to the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Chairman appeared somewhat surprised, "The Holy Spirit Cult? Hmm... Speaking of which, it's strange, ever since the Abyssal Creature Army was utterly eradicated, the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult haven't made any moves!"
The other Council Members scoffed, "Hmph! Not that they haven't made any moves, they just can't anymore, right? After all, all four Dark Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult have already fallen!"
"That's right, the Holy Spirit Cult surely knows they're no match for the major powers now, so they must be thinking of developing covertly!"
"That's not necessarily true, no matter what, the Holy Spirit Cult still has high-level combatants like the Ming Emperor, Ghost Emperor, and that Demon Emperor! The threat is still significant!"
"Quiet, now is not the time to discuss these matters, you, quickly tell us about this message related to the Holy Spirit Cult!!"
