Chapter 2595: Hidden Purpose_1
Di Tian remained silent for several seconds before sending a message, "Sorry, my lord, it was I who misspoke!"
In his view, taking advantage of the conflict between the Holy Spirit Cult and the other forces of Soul Land, the Spirit Pagoda would have an absolute advantage!
However, since the lord's attitude was so firm, he could only abandon this idea!
Gu Yuena did not dwell on the issue but shifted the topic, "It doesn't matter. I will be entering the Ten Thousand Beast Platform soon, and it may take a few days before I come out. During this time, the Spirit Pagoda is in your hands!"
"If it's not urgent, there's no need to inform me!"
Di Tian's eyes sharpened as if he realized something and he quickly said, "Wait, are you suggesting, my lord… No, you absolutely can't continue!"
"In order to revive those thousand-year soul beasts, you have already lost a large amount of blood essence. If you continue to extract, it's very likely that your bloodline concentration will decrease, or even your cultivation level could regress!!"
He couldn't accept the consequences of such actions!
But Gu Yuena appeared quite indifferent, "Compared to revitalizing the Soul Beast Clan, such a price is not too high!"
Indeed, she entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to extract the essence blood of the Silver Dragon King under the protection of the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython...
"Alright, it's decided then!"
After speaking, she gave Di Tian no further opportunity to speak and entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform through the nearby equipment...
...
Tang Sect!
Upon returning, Zang Xin immediately summoned the three Hall Masters...
And he told them the specifics of the situation...
Liang Xiaoyu pondered, "As for the eradication of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, we must certainly participate, but how many disciples should our Tang Sect dispatch?"
Zhao Chong added, "Not just disciples, we will definitely need some Soul Master elites. However, when it comes to it, our Tang Sect doesn't have many high-end combatants!"
Currently in the Tang Sect, there are no more than ten individuals with soul power rank reaching Titled Douluo, and this is already including the Shrek Seven Monsters and others...
Guo Xiaoxu affirmed this, "Mmm… If a certain number of casualties occur, it will be a huge blow to the Tang Sect!"
"Sect Leader, we must think this through carefully!"
What they considered, Zang Xin had naturally also thought about, and he immediately said, "My intention is for Hall Master Guo and Hall Master Liang to lead some of the Tang Sect disciples in the suppression, while Hall Master Zhao will be responsible for assisting me in defense."
"However, this time we will face the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, and we cannot take it lightly!"
"For this reason..."
Zhao Chong's eyes lit up, exclaiming with surprise, "Sect Leader, could it be you're planning to go personally?"
Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu were also somewhat excited, as they had never personally seen Zang Xin take action.
However, Zang Xin shook his head, "No, what I mean is that all three Hall Masters should go together, and I will take care of defending the Tang Sect!"
It was simple; if something unexpected happened to him, having one more Hall Master would not change the outcome!
Upon hearing this, the three Hall Masters' mouths twitched involuntarily...
At such a time, what could possibly go wrong with the Tang Sect that would warrant this? Most likely, the Sect Leader wanted some peace and solitude, hence he was sending them away...
Seeing the dissatisfaction on their faces, Zang Xin's tone turned cold, "What, do the Hall Masters have any objections to what I just said?"
They quickly masked their true thoughts and waved their hands in response, "No… not at all, Sect Leader. We will do as you say!"
"Yes, yes, you're entrusting us to go because you trust us. How could there be any complaints?"
"As the Sect Leader, such minor matters are naturally ours to handle!"
Zang Xin then cracked a smile, "That's more like it. Don't waste any time then; the situation is urgent, go and gather the Tang Sect disciples immediately!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"

After speaking, the three Hall Masters sighed and left…
…
Holy Spirit Cult!
Vice Sect Leader Halosa had also received the message, his expression grave as he turned to the Ghost Emperor and said, "Sect Hierarch, I've just gotten word from our plant within the federation. The powers of Soul Land have been secretly assembling troops, and they will surely soon launch an attack on the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters."
"Should we have the Evil Soul Masters evacuate from here?"
As long as we preserve our strength, it would not be difficult for the Holy Spirit Cult to rise again!
Wearing a mask that made it impossible to discern his emotions, the Ghost Emperor's lifeless eyes stared at him. "Evacuate? Do you think that we, who have only just received the message, could escape from such a large encirclement?"
The answer was definite, absolutely impossible!
Halosa retorted, "But if we stay here, not only will all the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters be exterminated, but you and I will also fall here!"
Even though he was very confident in his own strength, he did not truly believe he could withstand a hundred on his own!
The Ghost Emperor let out a cold laugh. "Humph... fall here? I have no intention of going down in a place like this!"
Halosa, catching the implication, said with some disbelief, "Ghost Emperor, you mean... there's another way?"
He no longer addressed him as Sect Hierarch, but Ghost Emperor!
This meant that if the latter did not provide a reasonable explanation, he would not hesitate to abandon the Holy Spirit Cult!
The Ghost Emperor remained unruffled and said, "Of course there is. Do you think I'm unaware that the Demon Emperor has already cultivated some of her confidants within the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"It's no exaggeration to say, her departure is also within my plans!"
Seeing this, Halosa pressed on, "Ghost Emperor... what exactly do you want to do?"
He found that he could no longer see through the former!
What was the meaning of this action?
The Ghost Emperor did not answer directly, but instead said to himself, "What do I want to do? Naturally, to first rule over Soul Land, and then take control of the several empires!"
"To make the Holy Spirit Cult the supreme existence!"
Halosa knew the former had no intention of telling him the specifics of the plan and decisively turned to leave…
But the Ghost Emperor suddenly called out to him, "What now, do you also plan to leave the Holy Spirit Cult?"
With his back to the former, Halosa said in a tone revealing no particular intention, "No, I'm just going outside to investigate; there may still be bugs lurking in the shadows!"
The Ghost Emperor chose to trust without hesitation but still cautioned, "Is that so... Nevertheless, I think it's best for you to stay here right now!"
Upon hearing this, Halosa immediately released his spiritual power, sensing towards the outside of the Holy Spirit Cult…
His expression suddenly changed…
Without knowing when it had happened, the Ghost Emperor had already had all the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters lie in ambush, seemingly preparing to engage in a fierce fight with the incoming Soul Masters…
But soon, he understood the purpose of such a move…
Instead of continuing forward, he turned back again, his gaze complex as he stared at the Ghost Emperor, "In this way, it really does suit your character!"
Ruthless and merciless — in this regard, he was far from the Ghost Emperor's match!
The Ghost Emperor simply shrugged his shoulders, showing his indifference…
"From the beginning, wasn't the existence of these Evil Soul Masters for our sake?"
