Chapter 2028: The Attention of an Evil Soul Master (Subscribe Please)_1
```
In this fierce struggle, the price of the Heart of the Ice God soared to a staggering ten billion!
The bidders who had once prided themselves on their wealth now felt their entire worldviews collapsing...
"This is just too much, how can such a small thing be worth ten billion!"
"To us, this thing isn't very useful, but for the major powers, it's a crucial material for creating the fourth God-Slaying fixed soul cannonball, something money alone can't buy!"
"On the entire Soul Land, it's probably only the Spirit Pagoda and the federation that can put up such a high price!"
"When gods fight, mortals suffer. Let's just watch and make sure not to offend either side!"
Finally, the only federal representative who had been bidding against Leng Yaozhu clenched her teeth and sat down angrily, "Hmph, you win!"
She thought to herself, "It's no wonder the Spirit Pagoda has been so resolute in the bidding. Such a huge amount of federation coins would surely strain the federation's resources!"
The auctioneer, Jiu Jiu, seeing this, immediately declared, "Bidder number thirty-six has given up the bid. Bidder number twenty-seven has offered ten billion. Is there anyone else who would like to bid?"
"Ten billion for the first time, ten billion for the second time! The third time... sold! Congratulations to bidder number twenty-six for successfully purchasing the Heart of the Ice God for ten billion federation coins. May it bring you good fortune!"
Having confirmed her successful bid for the Heart of the Ice God, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Phew..."
Beside her, Gu Yue asked with a complex expression, "Pagoda Master, is it worth spending ten billion on this Heart of the Ice God?"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips, "Gu Yue, you should know, all three God-Slaying fixed soul cannonballs on the entire Soul Land are in the hands of the federation, and one still remains! This poses an absolute threat to any power!"
"If we can use this Heart of the Ice God to create a God-Slaying cannonball, perhaps, the Spirit Pagoda's status on the continent will surpass that of the federation!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes lit up, "Pagoda Master, I understand now..."
...
The auction ended!
The staff immediately located them and handed over a storage soul tool, saying respectfully, "Esteemed guest, this contains the Heart of the Ice God and the Soul Beast Embryo you've won, everything is inside here!"
Leng Yaozhu took it, scanned it with her spiritual power, confirmed it was correct, and said, "We have the item, Gu Yue, let's go."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Mm!"
With that, the two left the auction house...
Meanwhile, the Evil Soul Masters who had been lurking in the shadows all revealed malicious smiles...
"It looks like they haven't noticed us. This time, we can get not only the Soul Beast Embryo but even the material for making God-Slaying missiles!"
"If we offer these to the Sect Hierarch, we can at least become deacons, can't we?"
"What are we waiting for? Follow them quickly, don't let them get away!"
In an instant, they released their evil Soul Power and followed at top speed...
Tang Wulin and the others also left the auction house...
With just a simple perception of Soul Power, everyone's expressions froze in an instant...
Yuanen Yehui spoke with a cold expression, "Did everyone feel that? Such a strong presence of Evil Soul Masters!"
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "Yes, I'm afraid these Evil Soul Masters have disguised themselves as bidders, but what's their purpose in being here?"
Tang Wulin's face darkened, "It's Gu Yue, as well as the Heart of the Ice God and the Soul Beast Embryo in their hands!"
Yue Zhengyu exclaimed, "What? Should we follow them then?"
Ye Xinglan immediately interjected, "Should you even need to ask? Those guys are Evil Soul Masters, with Soul Power ranks at least above Soul Emperor, and Gu Yue alone might have a hard time dealing with them!"
On hearing this, Tang Wulin gratefully said, "Everyone..."
Apart from himself, everyone likely lacked experience in confronting Evil Soul Masters, yet they were still willing to take the risk to help Gu Yue!
```
Xie Xie curled his lips and said, "Wulin, what's with that expression? Gu Yue's not just your girlfriend, she's also our partner!"
Ye Xinglan nodded and added, "Xie Xie is right, now's not the time to be moved. Let's hurry up and back up Gu Yue!"
…
Sensing the anomaly behind her, Gu Yue's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness as she whispered, "Pagoda Master..."
Calm and collected, Leng Yaozhu responded, "Hmm! I didn't expect us to be targeted by evil Soul Masters, it must be because of these two things!"
After saying that, she glanced at the exquisite storage soul tool in the palm of her hand…
Gu Yue cautiously mobilized her Soul Power, ready for battle at any moment, "Do we need to deal with them now?"
A sly look flickered in the beautiful eyes of Leng Yaozhu, "No rush, there seems to be another group of people behind us, probably here for you!"
"Then I'll head back to the Spirit Pagoda first, you handle it yourself."
After these words, she tossed the storage soul tool to Gu Yue and her figure and presence vanished in an instant…
Gu Yue, who caught the tool in haste, was completely stunned; she never expected Leng Yaozhu to leave her behind alone!!
As expected, within ten seconds of Leng Yaozhu's departure, several evil Soul Masters dressed in black robes boldly surrounded Gu Yue…
The leader of the evil Soul Masters sneered, "Finally found our chance, hand over the Soul Beast Embryo and the Heart of the Ice God, and we'll leave you a whole corpse!"
"To die at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult is an honor for you!"
"Don't worry, after you're dead, I will refine your beautiful body into a Blood Puppet, hahaha!"
Gu Yue instinctively took a step back and shouted, "You scum, dream on!!"
Having said that, she unleashed her Martial Soul…
Below her feet, seven Soul Rings rose up!
The leader of the evil Soul Masters licked his crimson lips, "Heh… still want to resist? Then we can't be blamed! Kill her!"
In that instant, these evil Soul Masters released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings...
At first glance, there were at least two Soul Douluos, three Soul Sages, and four Soul Kings!
In just a moment, even Gu Yue felt an unprecedented pressure!
Evil Soul Masters are inherently stronger than Soul Masters of the same rank, especially when facing so many at once!
In this tense situation, Tang Wulin and the others finally arrived…
"Thinking of bullying our partner, do you no longer wish to live?"
"A mere two Soul Douluos and a few ants dare to be so arrogant, let grandpa teach you a lesson!"
"After being beaten up by Teacher Wu last time, I was frustrated at not finding a way to let off steam, let's use you for practice!"
Seeing the seven figures suddenly appearing beside her, Gu Yue said joyfully, "Wulin… and everyone else?"
Tang Wulin glanced over, concern in his voice, "Gu Yue, are you alright?"
Gu Yue shook her head, "I'm fine, but what are you doing here?"
With a playful stick of her tongue, Xu Xiaoyan said, "Gu Yue, we received the invitation too, and we all thought about taking a stroll together. It just so happened that we discovered you were being followed by these evil Soul Masters!"
Ye Xinglan interrupted, "Let's not catch up now. After we slaughter these filthy creatures, we'll have plenty of time to chat!"
