Chapter 3186 An Unnecessary Battle_1

The Ghost Emperor, who was observing the entire battlefield with his spiritual power, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow…

"It seems like the Demon Emperor truly has submitted to me," he said, unable to contain himself, "The reason he lured the Limit Douluo away from the warehouse must be his fear of the impact on the surrounding soul tools!"

However, the Evil Soul Masters standing beside him clearly did not think the same…

"Sect Hierarch," they began, "we must not be careless. The Demon Emperor's eyes are filled with reluctance when he looks at you. He will surely turn against you at a critical moment!"

"Exactly, instead of having her submit to you, it would be better to kill her and absorb her cultivation level!"

"Sect Hierarch, to devour a powerhouse of the Limit Douluo Level would certainly allow us to further advance in soul power rank, and better serve you!!!!"

At this thought, avarice flickered in everyone's eyes…

Ever since the Demon Emperor had submitted to the Sect Hierarch, their status had obviously been greatly reduced!!

It would be better to join forces, have the Sect Hierarch execute the Demon Emperor, and profit from it!!

Hearing these words, the Ghost Emperor easily saw through their thoughts and said expressionlessly, "You lot think too highly of yourselves!"

"Even if we kill the Demon Emperor and let you devour her, do you think you can break through to Limit Douluo Level??"

As far as he was concerned, everyone was but a chess piece, easily cast aside at any moment!

Yet they even dared to try to influence his thoughts - how preposterous!!

Upon hearing this, the Evil Soul Masters all felt a chill run down their spines, immediately bowed down, and kept their heads down, not daring to speak...…

Fearing that the next second, they might face his wrath...

Just as the atmosphere was turning even more oppressive, an Evil Soul Master with a panicked expression burst in and immediately said while fisting his hands, "Report... Report to the Sect Hierarch, I have urgent news!!"

The Ghost Emperor glanced sideways and said coldly, "Speak!"

Seeing this, the latter did not hesitate to explain, "Just now, the chess piece we've planted in Soul Land has brought us news!"

"All the powers in Soul Land have gathered in the federation, seemingly discussing the matter of God-killing soul-guided missiles!"

The Ghost Emperor's brow furrowed slightly, "God-killing soul-guided missiles??"

In the last piece of intel gathered, the federation had restarted production of the God-killing soul-guided missiles immediately upon mining rare resources from the abyssal plane!

Now, they have probably been completed!

The informant continued, "Yes, Sect Hierarch, the federation is very likely to unleash the God-killing soul-guided missile on the Douling Empire. Should we take precautions?"

These Evil Soul Masters, although much stronger due to the former's reasons, stood no chance of surviving in the face of such a terrifying soul tool!!

The Ghost Emperor dismissed this with disdain, "Merely a God-killing soul-guided missile, even if it were to explode in the Douling Empire, it means nothing to me!!"

No matter the power of the God-killing soul-guided missile, it's still a mere mortal object, incapable of posing any threat to him who had broken through to God Rank!!

The Evil Soul Master's tone became agitated, "Sect Hierarch, the God-killing soul-guided missile might mean nothing to you, but for any Evil Soul Master in the Douling Empire, it's a lethal blow, and it is unlikely anyone will survive!!"

"If we all perish, the future…"

Even though they had become Evil Soul Masters, it did not mean they had lost their fear of death!!

Naturally, they did not want to become the souls lost to a God-killing soul-guided missile!!

A look of impatience crossed the Ghost Emperor's face, followed by a cold shout, "Silence!"

Immense Divine Power transformed into a sharp blood blade, and in the blink of an eye, it swept past the informant…

The informant did not even have the chance to react before a sound of flesh being torn was heard from his neck, and his head with wide-open eyes tumbled to the ground...

The lower half of his body lay powerlessly in a pool of blood...

The other Evil Soul Masters trembled with fear...

It was hard to imagine, but their recent actions hadn't offended the other party—it was such a stroke of luck!!

...

Elsewhere, the Demon Emperor suddenly halted her steps, then turned around, and said indifferently, "Let's stop here, there should be no one to disturb us now."

In this place, the spiritual power of the Ghost Emperor should not be able to reach!

The man who had been following closely behind also stopped in his tracks, looking at the former with extreme vigilance...

"It seems, you've chosen the place? Then let's cut the crap and start!"

Yet, the Demon Emperor smiled slightly and interrupted, "Don't be in such a hurry to make a move. Do you know why I led you here?"

The man's gaze did not waver in the slightest, still vigilant, he asked, "Demon Emperor, what exactly do you mean?"

Could it be, she deliberately lured him away from that warehouse?

But what was the purpose of doing so??

The Demon Emperor did not answer this question, but instead began to explain on her own, "In this place, even the Ghost Emperor, who has broken through to the God Rank, cannot extend his spiritual power here!"

The man's expression grew even more puzzled, "And then? What does this have to do with our fight?"

What, exactly, was this Demon Emperor trying to convey?

Could it be that she was trying to save him?

No… impossible!

As the Demon Emperor, once the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, she was extremely ruthless—how could she possibly let him go willingly!

There must be traps set up around here!

With this in mind, he immediately spread out his spiritual power to sense the surroundings...

The Demon Emperor naturally noticed this and said again, "You don't need to worry, I am not so petty as to have laid traps. I just feel there's no need for us to fight."

He was not surprised at all by her thoughts!

After all, helping others was not something an evil Soul Master would do!

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, "No need to fight? What's your reason?"

To that, the Demon Emperor simply responded, "No reason, I just don't want to fight with you, that's all."

The man fell silent and began to think rapidly in his mind...

Finally, he spoke with a complex expression, "Could it be, Demon Emperor, that you are threatened by the Ghost Emperor?"

This was the only conclusion he could imagine!!

If the Demon Emperor fought with him and got severely injured, then she would be at an absolute disadvantage facing the Ghost Emperor!

In an instant, a strong killing intent burst forth from the body of the Demon Emperor...

But the next second, it was restrained again...

She sighed helplessly, "Yes, it is indeed due to the presence of the Ghost Emperor that I do not wish to fight with you!"

"So, there's no need for you to fight with me now. You can simply leave from here!"

"Of course, if you insist on going back to support your companions, I won't stop you, but, the more likely outcome is that the Ghost Emperor himself will take action and slay you all here!!"

As her words fell, the atmosphere of the entire space became oppressive...
