Chapter 1758: Devouring Demon (Please Subscribe)_1

The other high-ranking evil Soul Masters in black robes also spoke up, "Since they've sent two Ultimate Douluo to deal with the Dark Blood Devil, the defense of the Royal family of Xingluo Empire must be very weak. We might be able to then reshuffle the Xingluo Empire!"

"That's true, but if the royal household of the Xingluo Empire dares to send out these powerhouses, they must already have a way to deal with our attack! They might even intentionally lure us into a trap they've set in advance," another voice chimed in.

"Tch, the Xingluo Empire is weak in both soul tool technology and Soul Master strength. Even if it's a trap, it can't do anything to us!" another retorted.

"Sect Hierarch, let me lead the evil Soul Masters to attack the royal household. I guarantee I'll take Dai Tianling's head!" one exclaimed eagerly.

The Ghost Emperor's emotionless eyes swept over them as he said, "Attack the Royal family of the Xingluo Empire? Foolish!"

Setting aside whether these guys could infiltrate the royal household, even if they did kill Emperor Dai Tianling, it wouldn't mean anything!

All it would do is allow Dai Yueyan, the Crown Prince, to ascend to the throne earlier. By then, moving against him would become much more troublesome!

The scolded evil Soul Masters all hung their heads...

After a pause, the Ghost Emperor continued, "Alright, that's enough. Everyone but Halosa, leave!"

"Yes, Ghost Emperor!" they responded in unison.

Once everyone had left, only Halosa and the blank-eyed Demon Emperor remained in the grand hall.

The Ghost Emperor, with his deep gaze, stared straight at Halosa. "Halosa, do you know why I've kept you here?"

Halosa's brows furrowed slightly. "I would ask the Sect Hierarch to enlighten me!"

The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath, "You know that I took covert action against the Demon Emperor many years ago to control her and regain the leadership of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"But the power of the Demon Emperor is too great. Lately, I've been feeling like I'm barely able to suppress her," he confided.

Halosa immediately understood, "You mean... take action against the Demon Emperor now?"

The Ghost Emperor nodded slightly, "Correct. As long as we can successfully absorb the power of the Demon Emperor, both of us may even have the chance to surpass the level of a Demigod!"

Of course, to become a true God, one needs to possess godhood, and as an evil Soul Master, that's clearly improbable!

With a complicated look, Halosa spoke, "I see... I have no objections!"

A smile crept onto the Ghost Emperor's lips. "It seems you agree, but before that, I need you to give me a reason to fully trust you!"

Halosa of course caught the underlying message...

The Ghost Emperor feared that once he absorbed the Demon Emperor's power, it could affect his rule over the Holy Spirit Cult, using this as an opportunity to exert pressure on Halosa!

The ultimate goal was to have Halosa's life in his hands!

...

After spending several days on Silent Devil Island, Tang Wulin and his companions were gradually getting to know the methods and character of the Nightmare Old Demon!

Xie Xie's cheeks bore a few more lines of age than before. "Honestly, I can't stand this place for another day. This godforsaken place is like a living hell!" he said.

Xu Xiaoyan also sighed, "True! If it were just rigorous military training, no matter how tough, we could handle it. But the content of the training lately has all been strange stuff!"

Xie Xie smacked his lips, "You can say that again! Being spun 360 degrees by an aircraft to induce vomiting, having Soul Power sealed underwater for several hours..."

Each and every one of these torments was almost deadly!

Resting his chin on his hand, Tang Wulin pondered, "Speaking of which... the Nightmare Old Demon didn't show up on time today. Could something have happened to him?"

Yue Zhengyu curled his lip, "I can only hope something's happened to him, so we can skip the training!"

```

Just then, a familiar voice resounded through the space, "Little fellows, you are quite optimistic, but well, considering how long I've tormented you, he is already eager to start!"

Suddenly, next to the newly appeared Nightmare Old Demon, there stood another figure, a somewhat frail old man. Although he did not speak, he gave off an intangible sense...

The Nightmare Old Demon spoke again, "Let me introduce him; this is the Devouring Demon. In the coming days, he will be the one responsible for torturing you!"

Xie Xie's eyes widened, "What? There's also this what's-his-name Devouring Demon??"

Wu Siduo said with lingering fear, "Don't tell me it's going to be some perverted military training content again?"

Tang Wulin muttered, "It's not clear yet, but the situation seems... somewhat troublesome!"

The Devouring Demon glanced at the Nightmare Old Demon, "Rest assured, I am not as perverse as this fellow, using sedatives and other such despicable stuff. Plus, as long as you meet my requirements, I believe we'll get along just fine!"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Devouring Demon! What do you want us to do?"

The Devouring Demon chuckled, "It's simple! Just eat all the food I give you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi exclaimed with joy, "Eat? That doesn't sound so hard! I just happen to be interested in eating!"

Xie Xie pondered, "If it's just eating food, it shouldn't be too difficult!"

Yuanen Yehui echoed, "Yeah, since it's food, it should all be edible! Maybe... it's really not as perverted as the Nightmare Old Demon!"

Tang Wulin cautioned, "It's best not to get too excited, because we can't guarantee that what we consider food and what the Devouring Demon considers food are the same thing!"

Yue Zhengyu waved his hand dismissively, "Hey, Wulin, you're definitely too nervous. It's just food, what's there to be afraid of?"

Little did they know, a hint of pity had already appeared in the eyes of the Nightmare Old Demon...

This guy is much more perverted than me; even he can't stomach those foods!!

...

"Here is a little appetizer for you! Open them up and take a look!"

On the dilapidated, large table, covered pots of unidentifiable food were placed, and the Devouring Demon said this with his arms crossed!

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and the others seated around the table stared curiously at the pots, impatient to lift the covers!

Xie Xie volunteered, "I'm actually quite hungry; let me go first!"

After saying that, he reached for one of the pots, rubbed his hands together in anticipation, and opened it...

But as soon as he saw the food inside, he felt a churning in his stomach and a wave of nausea rose inexplicably...

"What... What is this ghastly stuff... Can one really... really eat this?"

In the pot in front of Xie Xie, dozens of white worms writhed, and the viscous liquid made them look like maggots!

Of course, that would have been bearable on its own, but what made it utterly unacceptable was the stench emanating from them!!

The others naturally also got a clear view of the meal in the pot, and their complexions instantly turned deathly pale...

They felt a growing aversion to the pots of food before them!!
