Chapter 2417: Capture Tang Wulin at All Costs_1
Holy Spirit Cult, the old site!
Ever since arriving at Soul Land, the Demon Emperor had led most of the evil Soul Masters back to the former place...
And also, all the members of the federation guarding the vicinity were captured alive and forcefully converted through a ritual...
This resulted in the federation not noticing anything unusual. Instead, they inadvertently revealed a lot of information to the Holy Spirit Cult!
At this moment!
The Demon Emperor glanced at the newly promoted deacons of the evil Soul Masters below and said coldly, "Has the federation discovered any abnormalities recently?"
One of the deacons, with head bowed and filled with reverence, replied, "Your Eminence, the abyssal creature army's interference has caused the federation to relax control over other cities, so no abnormalities have been discovered!"
Upon hearing this response, the Demon Emperor's beautiful eyes flickered, "Very well, it seems these abyssal creatures that have broken through the seal aren't completely useless after all. They can at least cause major powers to be at their wits' end. This is the perfect opportunity for our Holy Spirit Cult to take root once more!"
Of course, what she hoped for the most was for both sides to suffer heavy casualties in their conflicts. In that way, the Holy Spirit Cult could take control of the entire Soul Land without much effort!
Seeing this, the other deacons of the Holy Spirit Cult sang praises, "All of this is thanks to your decisions, Your Eminence. Otherwise, the Holy Spirit Cult wouldn't have grown to this extent."
"That's right, we will follow Your Eminence all the way, until the Holy Spirit Cult unifies the Continent!"
"We must make those foolish Soul Masters realize that only our Holy Spirit Cult is the true ruler!"
A smile curled up at the corner of the Demon Emperor's mouth, but then, as if thinking of something, she asked, "By the way, is there still no news of the Darkness Phoenix?"
The Darkness Phoenix had been gone for so long without sending back any message. Could she have betrayed the Holy Spirit Cult?
The deacons of the Holy Spirit Cult looked at each other and mustered the courage to reply, "Your Eminence, do you not remember? The Darkness Phoenix has fallen."
The Demon Emperor's pupils contracted, "When did this happen!"
How could she be unaware of this news until now!
The deacon closest to her swallowed hard and, with a nearly trembling voice, said, "It happened a few months ago, the Darkness Phoenix perished in a battle against the Sky Phoenix Douluo. Her body has been taken to the Spirit Pagoda."
The Demon Emperor violently slapped the armrest of her chair, unable to contain her terrifying presence...
"Sky Phoenix? Is that the Darkness Phoenix's sister? Damn it... they're all incompetent!"
She knew full well the power of the Darkness Phoenix. If the latter wanted to escape, there were virtually none who could detain her!
Therefore, her fall must have been intentional!
The Holy Spirit Cult deacons quickly bowed, "Your Eminence, please calm your anger!"
Although their powers had reached the Super Douluo Level, they were nothing more than slightly stronger ants in front of the Demon Emperor!
The Demon Emperor, who had been in a relatively good mood, grew even more irritated with these deacons and shouted, "All of you, get out!!"
The crowd didn't dare to oppose her and quickly retreated...
However, the Ming Emperor burst in as if on cue...
Looking up at the Demon Emperor, he said respectfully, "Your Eminence!"
The Demon Emperor naturally didn't give him a warm welcome, responding with an expressionless face, "Vice Sect Hierarch, do you have something to say?"
The Ming Emperor nodded slightly, "Your Eminence, I have something to report to you, but seeing that you're in quite an unstable mood, perhaps I should wait..."
The Demon Emperor's gaze sharpened, "No more nonsense, speak directly!"
This Ming Emperor, if not for the fact that he and the Dark Bell were the only top powerhouses left in the Holy Spirit Cult, and just for the act of concealing the news about the Ghost Emperor, she would definitely not let him off!
The Ming Emperor didn't waste words and spoke bluntly, "Your Eminence, the kidnapping of Tang Wulin failed!"
The Demon Emperor stood up abruptly, "What?? Isn't Tang Ziran Tang Wulin's father? With him as a hostage, how could there be a failure!!"
This was the plan she had pinned great hopes on, and now it had failed!!
The Ming Emperor shook his head, "As for the specifics, I'm not clear either!"
The Demon Emperor's oppressive aura directly enveloped the entire space, shattering the seats below into rubble, "Trash, all trash!!"
Her original plan was to kidnap Tang Wulin and bring him to the Holy Spirit Cult, using his life to force the Sea God to show himself!
Now, everything had turned to soup; how could she not be furious!
Having anticipated the former's rage, the Ming Emperor spoke again, "Your Excellency Demon Emperor, please calm your anger. What if I personally go to capture Tang Wulin?"
Capturing a youngster who had just stepped into the Super Douluo level should be quite easy!
Who knew that the Dark Bell had appeared beside him at some point, sneering, "Vice Sect Hierarch, I advise you not to underestimate Tang Wulin. Although he has only just reached the Super Douluo realm, he can't be judged by common standards!"
"Besides, as a Divine Craftsman, he must possess Four-Word Battle Armor, and his strength might not be weaker than that of an Ultimate Douluo!"
Hearing the Dark Bell's words, the Ming Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Nanali, you seem to be quite familiar with him..."
The Dark Bell was unconcerned, "I once pursued and attempted to kill the Shrek Seven Monsters and others, but failed."
The enraged Demon Emperor interjected, "Enough!!"
"Vice Sect Hierarch, Dark Bell, I command you, by any means necessary, you must bring Tang Wulin to me!"
The Dark Bell shrugged, "I don't have a problem, what about the Vice Sect Hierarch?"
The Ming Emperor snorted coldly, "It's exactly what I want! This Tang Wulin, if we don't deal with him in time, will be a major threat to our Holy Spirit Cult!"
...
On the other side, after Tang Wulin had buried Tang Ziran's bones, his gaze blankly fixed on the tombstone...
Yue Zhengyu stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Wulin, my condolences. We know that your uncle's death has hit you hard, but now is not the time to be downcast!"
The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were still struggling to combat the Abyssal Emperor; they couldn't afford to waste any more time!
Tang Wulin pursed his thin lips but didn't say a word...
Xu Xiaoyan pulled Yue Zhengyu aside and said, "Wulin, don't listen to Zhengyu. You can stay here and spend more time with your uncle; we'll head back first!"
"Nobody should have any objections, right?"
Seeing this, the others nodded their heads in agreement...
The pain of losing a loved one was something none of those present had experienced, so they wouldn't force Tang Wulin!
Who knew, he took a deep breath, and his bewildered eyes once again regained their clarity...
"No need, I was just a bit lost because of my father's death!"
But that didn't mean he couldn't prioritize events...
Xie Xie furrowed his brow, hesitating, "Wulin... are you really okay?"
He always felt that Tang Wulin was now just suppressing the sorrow in his heart...
This could potentially affect the upcoming battle!
Who knew, Tang Wulin mustered a smile, "Mhm, I'll come back to visit dad when I have time. Everyone, get ready, let's set out!"
