Chapter 1589: The Eve of Departure (Please Subscribe)_1

Several seconds later, Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er stepped into the great hall, respectfully addressing the figure seated on the throne, "Father, Your Majesty!"

Then they turned and addressed Xu Sheng, saying, "Elder Xu!"

Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "There are no outsiders now, so there's no need for such formality!"

A smile immediately appeared on Dai Yun'er's face, "Oh, you should have said so earlier, Father..."

With that, she hopped over to Dai Tianling's side...

This made Dai Yueyan's eyelids twitch incessantly...

Apart from his sister there, perhaps no one else would dare to act so casually before the Emperor...

Xu Sheng chuckled, "Your Majesty, the relationship between you, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Crown Prince is truly harmonious!"

Dai Tianling did not deny it, and instead looked at Dai Yun'er with a doting expression...

Thinking of something, she asked curiously, "Elder Xu, you weren't hurt yesterday, were you? I heard that even Sect Master Mu of the Body Sect had fainted!"

Xu Sheng replied softly, "I'm fine..."

Dai Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, then a blush spread across her delicate cheeks as she whispered, "Then... Elder Xu, when... when do you plan to return to Shrek Academy?"

Xu Sheng did not hide his intentions, "Barring any surprises, it should be tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er exclaimed, "So soon?"

Realizing her reaction was a bit too strong, her cheeks reddened even further...

The time she had spent with Xu Sheng had been the happiest days for her, and the thought of not having this opportunity in the future filled her with regret…

Dai Tianling teased, "Yun'er, your expressions are almost spelling out your thoughts!"

She had just told him that she had come to terms with it yesterday, but now it seems she still couldn't let go of Elder Xu!

Dai Yun'er stretched out her hand and grasped his arm, coquettishly saying, "Father, Your Majesty—how can you tease me like this?"

Dai Tianling took a deep breath and sighed, "I've personally asked Elder Xu, and he has no intention of staying in our Xingluo Empire; this is quite a loss for the royal household!"

Xu Sheng glanced at him, "Your Majesty, while I may not join the Xingluo Empire, that doesn't mean we can't establish a deep friendship, right?"

Dai Tianling was taken aback, and then burst into laughter realizing what he meant, "Hahaha, Elder Xu is right! It seems that my vision was too narrow!"

Xu Sheng stretched and said casually, "Your Majesty, those youngsters from our academy are really looking forward to the compensation from the Xingluo Empire!"

Dai Tianling patted his chest, "Don't worry, Elder Xu, the compensation is ready! It will be delivered to the teams that made it to the top eight tomorrow!"

He paused, then added, "Moreover, since Elder Xu will be departing tomorrow, please stay for dinner tonight in deference to me!"

"If Your Majesty insists, then I won't be polite!"

...

Back at the Holy Spirit Cult's branch in Xingluo Land…

Several evil Soul Masters of Hyper Douluo Level cursed, "Damn it! That Xu Sheng has messed up our Holy Spirit Cult's plans time and time again, completely disregarding us!"

"Exactly, first intercepting Dai Yun'er in secret, and now forcing our Holy Spirit Cult into a corner. If not for his overwhelming strength, we would have killed him long ago!"

"In my opinion, the Vice Sect Hierarch should give the order, let the strong ones in our Holy Spirit Cult take action together; I don't believe he can withstand us all!"

Leng Yulai shouted coldly, "Impossible... The strength of that Xu Sheng is unfathomable, and even I stand no chance against him!"

Nanali, who seldom agreed, added, "That's right, the Dark Hummingbird was slain without any chance to fight back! Xu Sheng's strength is beyond human description!"

The Dark Blood Devil glanced at the two of them and disdainfully said, "Hmph, I see you both are scared out of your wits, just a Soul Sage, there's really no need to pay such attention."

Leng Yulai replied mercilessly, "At this point, to still consider the opponent as a Soul Sage, Dark Blood Devil, what exactly is your brain made of?"

This statement made the killing intent in the Dark Blood Devil's eyes grow even denser, "Are you looking for death?"

It must be known that within the Holy Spirit Cult, his strength was only second to the Demon Emperor and the two Sect Hierarchs!

Witnessing this scene, the always silent Halosa spoke in a chilly tone, "Shut up! Our mission this time has been accomplished, although due to that man, we did not completely destroy the Royal family of the Xingluo Empire!"

"But one thing can be confirmed, as long as we don't provoke him, that Xu Sheng will not pose a threat to our Holy Spirit Cult!"

After his numerous analyses, he finally understood the reason Xu Sheng prevented them from taking action...

That was because this attack had affected the students of Shrek Academy, and it was done right before the former's eyes!

Hearing this, Leng Yulai and the others also pursed their lips...

Just then, an evil Soul Master dressed in a black robe suddenly burst in, saying excitedly, "Report to the Vice Sect Hierarch, all respected ones, the Sect Hierarch and most of the evil Soul Masters have arrived at the Xingluo Land from Soul Land, and if nothing unexpected happens, they'll be here soon..."

Before he could finish, the Ghost Emperor, wearing a mask and showing no expression, appeared behind him...

He said indifferently, "No need to report anymore, we are already here!"

And by his side, was the Demon Emperor with a similarly expressionless face...

Seeing the two, Leng Yulai and the others respectfully said, "Demon Emperor, Sect Hierarch!"

The Ghost Emperor nodded slightly, then stepped forward to sit in the highest seat...

The Demon Emperor did not make any move, standing very stiffly beside the former...

This action immediately raised their suspicions...

Under normal circumstances, only the Demon Emperor could sit in that position within the whole Holy Spirit Cult!

But today, it seemed as if their identities had been switched...

Halosa said with puzzlement, "Sect Hierarch... The Demon Emperor, she..."

The Ghost Emperor glanced at him and said coldly, "The Demon Emperor is heartbroken over the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, which has caused her significant mental distress!"

Halosa was stunned, "Is that so..."

This excuse clearly seemed like a brush-off...

The situation with the Demon Emperor seemed unusual, as if she were being controlled...

But the Sect Hierarch's strength was not much stronger than his own, so he shouldn't have that ability!

The Ghost Emperor clearly did not want to dwell on this topic and inquired, "So... tell me about your attack on the exchange competition!"

Halosa hid his doubts and said, "Yes, Sect Hierarch, here's how it went..."

He then recounted the situation of their attack on the Holy Spirit Cult, leaving nothing out...

After listening, the corner of the Ghost Emperor's mouth raised in a cold smile, "Very good! The outcome is better than I had imagined, before long, the fame of our Holy Spirit Cult will spread throughout the entire Xingluo Land!"

In this way, more and more evil Soul Masters would join them!!
