Chapter 2173: True Words (Seeking Subscription)_1

Xie Xie looked at Xu Xiaoyan with suspicion, "Dead... dead? Xiao Yan, you couldn't have accidentally caused him internal injuries, could you?"

"I didn't," Xu Xiaoyan retorted, "He was just in the space crack for a while, and there's no way he could get hurt!!"

Moreover, only a few minutes passed outside, but inside it was just an instant!

Yuanen Yehui crouched down to carefully examine the body and felt a strong dark energy emanating from within...

Then he shook his head and said, "Don't blame Xiao Yan. This evil Soul Master must have been under a curse-like spell, which causes death upon revealing important information!"

Yue Zhengyu crossed his arms, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, such are the methods of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters—harsh on outsiders, even harsher on their own!"

Ye Xinglan spoke with some reluctance, "Like this, even if we kill them all, we'll get no information!"

Tang Wulin's eyes flickered for a moment, "No matter, we at least now know that it was the Demon Emperor from the Holy Spirit Cult who issued the orders!"

However, was this Demon Emperor really acting so aggressively just because he owned the Sea God's Trident?

Just as he was about to order a withdrawal, a sinister aura suddenly flew out from the corpse and fled forward...

The first to notice, Yuanen Yehui, exclaimed, "This guy isn't dead! Xiao Yan, don't let him get away!"

Coming to her senses, Xu Xiaoyan swung her wand sharply and released more than a dozen dazzling silver chains chasing after the black mass...

But due to the inability to seal off the entire area, the black mass still found a gap and successfully fled the scene...

Her expression sour, she said, "No use; the chains can't catch up, it's moving too fast!"

Yue Zhengyu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, Xiao Yan. If it runs, it runs. It's just a small fry from the Holy Spirit Cult, it can't cause much trouble!"

Yuanen Yehui clenched his fists, "This evil Soul Master must have used some kind of soul skill to feign death and seize the moment to escape. We should have been more alert!"

Xie Xie said fiercely, "Well, with this experience, next time, whether they're really dead or faking, we'll finish them with an extra blow!"

Tang Wulin nodded in agreement, "Xie Xie is right. It's too late to say anything now. Consider it a lesson learned. Let's dispose of these bodies and then head back to the hotel!"

...

Meanwhile, the evil Soul Master who had escaped in the form of a black mass had returned to the Spirit Pagoda!

He reported the situation immediately...

Kneeling on the ground, he looked up fearfully at the Demon Emperor seated in the Sect Leader's Chair...

Trembling, he said, "Repo... report to the Demon Emperor, everyone who went to assassinate Tang Wulin, except for me, has fallen!"

Halosa erupted in anger, "What? Such a bunch of trash, nearly a hundred people, three Title Douluos, and you couldn't even handle a kid!"

Leng Yulai crossed his arms and stood aside, saying with a detached tone, "Isn't that Tang Wulin supposed to have the Sea God's Trident? It's likely he has some special tricks, so failure is not unexpected!"

The evil Soul Master quickly bowed his head, pleading, "Please spare our lives, my lords; we didn't expect to be duped like this!"

The usually silent Demon Emperor's expression fluctuated uncertainly, "Explain exactly what happened; if you hide even the slightest detail, you'll join those dead evil Soul Masters!"

The former said joyfully, "Yes, Demon Emperor!"

After organizing his thoughts, he reported the incident without omitting a single detail...

The Demon Emperor pursed her thin lips, "Since you have seen Tang Wulin release the Sea God's Trident, did anything unusual appear on his forehead?"

The evil Soul Master felt confused but still tried to recollect earnestly...

After a while, he said excitedly, "Yes, Demon Emperor, when he used the Sea God's Trident, there indeed appeared some sort of pattern on the boy's forehead that was filled with a sacred breath!"

With that answer, the Demon Emperor's face gradually twisted, even showing hints of madness...

She had guessed correctly!

This Tang Wulin, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, was the descendant of Sea God Tang San!

The Sea God's Trident, along with the pattern on the forehead, was enough to explain everything!

By then, having dominated the entire Continent and capturing his descendants, there wouldn't be any worry that Sea God Tang San wouldn't appear!!

His own plans, hidden for so many years, finally had a stage to play out!

Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor cast a glance at the evil Soul Master, "I'm in a very pleasant mood, so I won't hold you responsible this time."

The evil Soul Master joyfully said, "Thank you, Demon Emperor!"

Having said that, he quickly left the place…

It was then that Halosa asked, "Demon Emperor, didn't the assassination plan fail? Why are you feeling pleased?"

This didn't match the former's character!

The Demon Emperor indifferently said, "All you need to know is that the child called Tang Wulin is God's descendant, and in the future, he will be very important to me."

Leng Yulai revealed an expression of sudden realization…

No wonder the Demon Emperor had asked such questions before!

Because only when one has received the inheritance of godhood, abnormal lines would appear on a Soul Master's forehead!

…

The next day!

Gu Yue entered the forbidden area within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform as soon as possible and found the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython…

Looking at them still in recovery, she asked, "Titan Ape, Azure Oxpython, how are you recovering?"

Upon hearing the voice, the two gradually opened their eyes…

Azure Oxpython sighed, "After all, the injury was caused by a God, it's not so easy to recover, but at least it won't affect the stability of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform anymore!"

The Titan Ape then said with a look of frustration, "It's good that Gu Yue came quickly, otherwise, we might have already…"

Gu Yue took a deep breath, "As long as it's nothing serious, then please tell me about that God's message!"

At least to have some understanding!

Azure Oxpython hesitated for a moment but still spoke, "That guy is called Xu Sheng, from tens of thousands of years ago, the era of Martial Soul Hall!"

"There was a time when my brother and I had already died once at his hands!"

The Titan Ape frowned, "Big brother, do we really need to mention that…"

After all, it was not exactly a matter of pride!

Gu Yue's pupils shrank, "What?? Did you say that God's name is Xu Sheng?"

The "Teacher Xu" who taught her was also called Xu Sheng!

Azure Oxpython questioned with suspicion, "What? You know him too?"

Gu Yue tried to remain as calm as possible, disguising her emotions, "No… it's nothing, I just thought it sounded familiar!"

Azure Oxpython didn't notice anything amiss and continued, "Although I hate to admit it, that guy's talent can be said to be the strongest among humans!"

Gu Yue, somewhat curious, pressed on, "Why do you say that?"

Azure Oxpython's tone became serious, "Because when he first awakened his Martial Soul, his soul power rank had already reached the terrifying Title Douluo level!"

"Not only that, but both of his Martial Souls were God Level Martial Souls!"
