Chapter 2601: The Final Plan_1
```
The Ming Emperor, gripping the Netherworld Requiem tightly, struck with a casual blow and shattered the soul barrier in front of him, decapitating a member of the federation…
However, he felt not the slightest bit of joy, for behind him, he sensed two new powers suddenly emerging…
Putting the team of evil Soul Masters in a situation where they were surrounded…
He immediately cursed, "Damn it, why is this happening? Didn't the Ghost Emperor say he had made preparations?"
As soon as he had discovered the teams hidden on either side of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, he had suggested clearing them out…
but the Ghost Emperor had promptly denied the necessity and assured that he would deal with them!
As if to answer his confusion, the voice of the Ghost Emperor suddenly rang in his mind…
"Ming Emperor, can you leave the battlefield now?"
Hearing this, the Ming Emperor showed an incredulous look and quickly used his spiritual power to transmit back, "What?? Ghost Emperor, what do you mean by this?"
The Ghost Emperor did not elaborate much but stated firmly, "You don't need to know. Just do as I say, and the Holy Spirit Cult will surely rule the entire continent!!"
"Of course, you can also choose to ignore my command, but if so, you will most likely fall here!"
The Ming Emperor clenched the Netherworld Requiem and gritted his teeth, "Damn it!!"
This feeling of being kept in the dark filled him with an inexplicable rage…
But he was also aware that the Ghost Emperor never joked!
If he did not leave, there was a great chance he would fall right here!
Before he could ponder any further, he noticed a powerful spiritual force had locked onto him…
"Halosa!! Die!!"
Glancing sideways, he was stunned to see Tang Wulin wielding the Sea God's Trident, directly slamming it toward his face…
Halosa hurriedly used the Netherworld Requiem to guard himself, but the terrifying force still blasted him away…
After flying back for a good dozen meters, he couldn't help but look at his numb arm, "Damn it, this kid's strength has grown to such an extent in such a short time!"
If he hadn't defended with both hands just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold onto his weapon!!
Tang Wulin watched the opponent and coldly shouted, "Halosa, today will be the end of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Yue Zhengyu and the others also arrived soon after, standing behind him, ready to fight at any moment…
Halosa narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "The aura of those people behind… they have all reached level 98 Hyper Douluo."
Damn, if the Dark Bell had taken care of the Shrek Seven Monsters, how could they possibly be a problem!!
Yuanen Yehui also released his Martial Soul, "Halosa, you alone are no match for us!"
The nearby Yue Zhengyu also taunted, "That's right, hurry up and call those Holy Spirit Cult fellows, so we can finish you all in one fell swoop!"
Lan Muzi gripped the Yang Wood Saber tightly and warned, "Everyone be careful, don't let this guy escape."
Since the Ming Emperor was not with the Ghost Emperor, this was the moment to strike him down with the swiftest speed!
But how could Halosa allow himself to be captured so easily, "To kill me, you lot still don't have the qualifications!"
Just as he was about to unleash a soul skill to fight Tang Wulin and the others to the death, suddenly, dozens of men in black robes appeared by his side!
They were protectors of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Similarly, the weakest among them had the strength of a Super Douluo!!
They immediately spoke with a respectful tone, "Vice Sect Hierarch, leave this to us. Please return to the headquarters; the Sect Hierarch seems to have something to discuss with you!!"
Halosa hesitated for a moment, then without saying much, dashed away…
Seeing this, Tang Wulin and others wanted to pursue but were naturally blocked…
The leading protector sneered, "Your opponents are us!"
With those words, dozens of protectors released their Martial Souls, erupting with an astonishing might…
```
Lan Muzi's expression immediately turned grave, "Wulin, your guess was indeed correct. The Holy Spirit Cult actually has so many Hyper Douluo-level powerhouses!"
Yue Zhengyu, however, scoffed, "They're just relying on devouring blood essence to enhance themselves. No matter how many come, they can never be our match!"
Yuanen Yehui also brimmed with intense combat desire, "That's right, those who rely on such disgusting methods to improve will never become true powerhouses."
Tang Wulin naturally couldn't just back down, but he still forced himself to stay calm, "Despite that, we don't have the advantage in numbers!"
However, he soon realized he was wrong!!
"Wulin, did you forget about us!?"
Visibly, the three Hall Masters from the Tang Sect, as well as Elders from other sects, also timely appeared...
After sensing the presence of these powerful evil Soul Masters, they rushed over as quickly as they could...
Tang Wulin exclaimed in astonishment, "The three Hall Masters... and the Elders from the various great sects!"
He had not expected Tang Sect to directly dispatch three Hall Masters!
It was as if they were deploying their strongest fighting force!
Guo Xiaoxu smiled, then turned her gaze towards the evil Soul Masters before them, "Wulin, there's no need to be surprised at a time like this. Let's all go together!"
Tang Wulin revealed a confident expression once more, "Then I'm counting on everyone!"
With that said, everyone advanced to meet the Holy Spirit Cult protectors ahead...
...
Back at the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, Halosa!
He immediately sought out the very conspicuous Ghost Emperor!
The latter's complexion was calm as ever, as if nothing happening outside could affect him.
This only fueled the rage in Halosa's heart...
He demanded, "Ghost Emperor, you must give me an explanation, why do this!"
He used to think the Ghost Emperor had some winning strategy, but up until now, there was no sign of hope!
It was purely sending Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters to their deaths!!
Ghost Emperor glanced at him and said indifferently, "Ming Emperor, have you still not noticed?"
Halosa immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
The corners of Ghost Emperor's mouth curved up slightly, "Lift your head and look at the sky!"
Though puzzled, Halosa still did as instructed...
And cast his gaze towards the sky...
His expression changed drastically...
The entire sky was permeated with a faint scent of blood, each second the scent seemed to grow stronger...
If one observed carefully, they would notice that this blood mist was rising from the bodies that had died in battle below...
He swallowed hard, staring blankly, "This... What is this..."
Before he could finish, the Ghost Emperor confirmed, "Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking!"
"From the start, my intention was to use all the Resentful Spirits within thousands of kilometers to break through the bottleneck that has troubled me for so many years!"
The look in the Ming Emperor's eyes shifted subtly, "You're a madman..."
In order to break through his bottleneck, that's why he instigated the battle between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Soul Masters of the Soul Land...
The death of each person gave him a sliver more of a chance to break through...
