Chapter 2348: Hatred_1

Watching the destructive force spreading out, the Sickle Emperor could even feel his own body starting to melt away...

And as the releaser, Leng Yaozhu closed her eyes, quietly waiting for death to arrive...

This move had drained all her Soul Power, and relying purely on a human body, it was impossible to withstand the thousands of degrees of high temperature!

The chances of surviving were close to zero!

...

When the firestorm finally dissipated, the Sickle Emperor's figure was nowhere to be seen, obviously turned to ash in the high temperature!

Leng Yaozhu, however, collapsed on the ground...

The Four-Word Battle Armor she wore was nearly trashed, clearly having blocked most of the flame's damage for her, but even so, her originally smooth skin had become extremely dry, not a trace of moisture left!

Suddenly, she coughed, barely lifting her heavy eyelids...

After glancing at the unsightly state of her Four-Word Battle Armor, she said weakly, "I actually, didn't die? It seems that the Four-Word Battle Armor blocked most of the damage, huh!"

At the same time, a measured pace of footsteps sounded, and a pair of long legs appeared in her view...

"My dear sister, how did you become so hideous, it really is pitiable!"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Leng Yaozhu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she immediately raised her eyes to look...

Indeed, it was the person she remembered!

Even though many years had passed, she could still recognize the other party at a glance!

It was indeed her own sister, Leng Yulai!!

Leng Yaozhu said blankly, "Yulai, you... when did you get here!"

She hadn't sensed the other's spiritual power at all!

Leng Yulai sneered, crossing her arms and said lightly, "From the beginning. I was planning to wait until you and the Sickle Emperor were both badly injured before making a move. I didn't expect you would use your ninth soul skill to die together with it, and even luckily survive!"

"However, it's also fortunate you didn't die; otherwise, I couldn't possibly be standing before you like this!"

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, "Yulai, your appearance here, are you planning to do the bidding of the Holy Spirit Cult? Those people only harm the Continent!!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai's expression suddenly changed, and she scolded fiercely, "Shut up!! I don't need you to tell me how to conduct my business, do you still think you're my sister?"

"Besides, isn't my current state because of you!!"

The last sentence was almost a shout...

Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat sorrowful...

"Yulai, after so many years, do you still hate me?"

She had thought that Leng Yulai had let go of the past, but to her surprise, the grudge was still there!

A chilling intent to kill gleamed in Leng Yulai's eyes, "Hate! Of course, I hate! Every minute of every day, all the time, I think about killing you!!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu fell into silence...

Seeing her like this, Leng Yulai thought she was afraid and spoke again, "What? Now you feel guilty, afraid? What were you doing back then!"

The former looked straight into Leng Yulai's eyes and said word by word, "Yulai, actually, the incident back then was just a misunderstanding, I never..."

"No need for excuses!"

Before she could finish, Leng Yulai fiercely kicked her, sending her flying through the air...

Already severely injured, Leng Yaozhu had no strength to fight back and crashed heavily onto the ground...

"Puh!" After spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, her breath weakened even more...

But Leng Yaozhu didn't show any anger, still speaking in a gentle tone, "Yulai, if the hatred in your heart can only be extinguished by killing me, then, go ahead."

Leng Yaozhu directly released her Martial Soul, and a massive aura poured out…

After walking over, she grabbed Leng Yaozhu's neck and said with a cold tone, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"Ever since the beginning, you've always put on this hypocritical act, don't think that I will be deceived by you again!"

Seeing that Leng Yulai wouldn't listen to her explanations, Leng Yaozhu sighed, "Then kill me, I only hope that after this, you will leave the Holy Spirit Cult. That place, it's not suitable for you!"

Leng Yulai lifted her into the air, "Whether I leave the Holy Spirit Cult or not, you no longer have the chance to see!"

With that said, one of the Soul Rings at her feet lit up…

"Die, my... sister!!"

…

Spirit Pagoda!

Inside the research institute!

One of the researchers looking at the blood test results on the screen furrowed his brow, "Strange, we didn't find any special components in the Pagoda Master's blood!"

Another researcher pondered, "Then why did the few soul beasts that consumed the Pagoda Master's fresh blood have their Cultivation Levels increased?"

"Could there have been a problem at some point, causing the test results to be incorrect?"

"Impossible! We have tested it many times and have obtained the same results!"

"If it is not a problem with the blood, then is it possible that our initial guess was wrong and those soul beasts just coincidentally improved their Cultivation Levels?"

Bi Ji, who was standing not far away, heard the discussion and a slight curve formed at the corner of her mouth…

She secretly thought, "Of course you can't detect it, because the blood of our lord is that of the Silver Dragon King, how could it be easily revealed!"

The blood these researchers were testing was just from some random Soul Master that Gu Yue had found!

It would be strange if they could detect anything!

The lead researcher looked at Bi Ji with confusion, "Council Member Bi Ji, did you just... smile? Could it be that you know something?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji glanced at him with an icy gaze...

The former felt as though his throat was clutched, and he hastily said, "I apologize, Council Member Bi Ji, I overstepped!"

Bi Ji indifferently responded, "Since you cannot find anything special in the blood, you all should leave. The Pagoda Master plans to conduct the experiment personally."

The researcher was stunned for a moment, "But, relying only on the Pagoda Master alone…"

Bi Ji, without a hint of desire to explain, rebuked, "Don't forget, even the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was built with the participation of the Pagoda Master. Do you think that, in terms of scientific and technological research, the Pagoda Master would be inferior to you?"

The former became urgent, waving his hands in denial, "We never meant that!"

After speaking, he threw a glance at the other researchers...

The group took the hint and quickly left the laboratory…

Then, Bi Ji's expression returned to normal as she activated the communicator, "My lord, I have sent those researchers away! They haven't discovered anything!"

Her presence here was to oversee these researchers to prevent them from doing anything that would affect the plan!

The voice of Gu Yuena also came from the other end, "I understand. But there are still matters to handle. Please continue to stand guard there. Do not allow anyone to enter, no matter who they are!"

How dare Bi Ji utter any complaints, she respectfully replied, "Yes, my lord!"
