Chapter 2687 Damage_1

The ferocious beasts naturally had no objections and immediately transformed into their true forms, becoming several soul beasts that towered a hundred meters high and emitted terrifying auras...

Afterward, they relied on their powerful claws to hard smash into the barrier...

"Boom!!"

A violent sound erupted, and all the ferocious beasts, including Gu Yuena, were repelled...

Di Tian, looking at his numb dragon claw, said solemnly, "Such formidable defensive power, it only trembled slightly despite taking hits from all of us!"

"Yes, especially the rebound force, it even made my attacking limbs go numb!!"

"Damn it!! It seems that Ghost Emperor has truly broken through to the God Rank. Otherwise, how could this barrier so easily block our attacks!"

Gu Yuena, having also felt the difficulty of this barrier, shouted coldly, "Everyone, concentrate your attacks on the same spot, don't spread out!"

In this way, efficiency could be maximized and not even a barrier created by a God might hold...

The ferocious beasts took a deep breath, "Yes, Your Highness!"

At this moment, Yue Zhengyu, who was unconscious below, gradually regained consciousness, and started to cough violently...

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the sound, Yuanen Yehui, who was nearby meditating to recuperate her Soul Power, opened her eyes and glanced at him, "Zheng Yu, are you awake?"

As his consciousness returned, Yue Zhengyu's pupils dilated, and he said urgently, "Yehui... How is Wulin? What happened to him?"

Yuanen Yehui didn't speak, but her gaze shifted towards the sky...

"Ghost Emperor has absorbed the blood essence of numerous Soul Masters and has broken through to the God Rank! He is currently fighting inside the barrier against Wulin and the others!"

Yue Zhengyu also looked up, casting his gaze toward the sky...

He sighed, "Are we still one step too late... I wonder how Wulin and the rest are doing."

But soon, his eyes caught sight of Xu Xiaoyan, who had also fallen and lay unconscious nearby...

He immediately rushed over and shook her shoulder, saying, "Xiao Yan, wake up, Xiao Yan!!"

Yuanen Yehui spoke reassuringly, "Don't worry, Xiao Yan is fine. It's just that her Soul Power is depleted, like us."

Only then did Yue Zhengyu breathe a sigh of relief and wondered aloud, "Wasn't Xiao Yan in the academy? Why is she here?"

Yuanen Yehui explained, "It must be because the Elders haven't contacted the others for a long time, so they probably guessed something and sent Xie Xie and the others over here!"

"As for Xiao Yan, I only saw her falling from the sky and happened to catch her!"

Yue Zhengyu looked at her gratefully, "Yehui, thank you!"

Yuanen Yehui shook her head, "We are companions, do we need to thank each other for such small things? However, I think you should recover your Soul Power first"

"So we can go help Wulin afterward!!"

Although he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, fighting against a God Rank powerhouse was surely very difficult!

"Yehui, you're right. Our companions are still fighting, how can we just hide here!"

Yue Zhengyu also calmed down, slowly put Xu Xiaoyan down, and then placed a defense system soul tool next to her...

Only when the Protective Barrier was fully deployed did he focus on recovering his Soul Power...

...

Federation!

The council member in charge of the report respectfully began, "Reporting to the Chairman, the cleanup of the battlefield has been completed, all members of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters have been annihilated, none survived!"

The Council Members present revealed excited expressions...

"That's fantastic! With this, the Holy Spirit Cult will completely vanish from this world!"

"Indeed, this spares our federation one less scourge!"

"That's not necessarily true. The Holy Spirit Cult was eradicated once many tens of thousands of years ago, yet it has managed to rise again. This means that evil Soul Masters cannot be entirely eradicated!"

"We shouldn't speak so conclusively. The Holy Spirit Cult has suffered a crushing defeat this time, and it would take at least a hundred or a thousand years to recover. By then, we might have found a way to suppress the Evil Martial Soul!"

The Chairman glanced at them and interjected, "Everyone quiet down. The success of our plan to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult is a good thing!"

"As for whether the Holy Spirit Cult will rise again in the future, we won't be alive to see it, there's no need to worry so much!"

With that said, the rest of the Council Members showed embarrassed expressions and said no more...

Only then did the Chairman shift the topic, "So, what are the total casualties for our federation this time?"

The Federation Members fell silent. After a few seconds, they mustered the courage to say, "The federation suffered significant losses, almost all of the dispatched Soul Masters perished!"

"Only... only a very small number miraculously survived!"

He didn't disclose specific numbers, but it gave the Council Members a rough idea of the casualties...

The Chairman revealed an expression as if to say 'as expected', "Hmm... it seems that the overall strength of our federation and the Spirit Pagoda has widened yet again!"

The other Council Members also realized the seriousness of the matter...

"This won't do. If the overall strength of our federation continues to weaken, won't Soul Land become the dominion of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"There's no 'if' about it... The current federation already shows tendencies of being replaced by the Spirit Pagoda, and even the other two great empires pay them more and more attention."

But there were still some who appeared very

"Hmph, the Spirit Pagoda won't be able to stir up any trouble. As long as we safeguard that God-killing soul-guided missile, we can easily obliterate their headquarters!"

"That's right, the God-killing soul-guided missile is the foundation our federation stands upon. As long as we have it, we need not fear the Spirit Pagoda!"

However, the Chairman's expression did not ease in the slightest but calmly posed them a question...

"Is that so? What if the Spirit Pagoda has already planned to steal or destroy the God-killing soul-guided missile?"

No sooner had the words been spoken than one Council Member expressed skepticism, "That... that's impossible. Ever since the God-killing soul-guided missile was stolen by the Holy Spirit Cult, the federation has repeatedly increased surveillance. Even Super Douluo Level powerhouses infiltrating would be discovered immediately!"

"What's more, without a collective order from all the Council Members, the God-killing soul-guided missile cannot be taken out for use!"

The Chairman did not deny this but interlocked his fingers, "You're not wrong, but what if amongst us Council Members, there is a traitor?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed dramatically...

Each Council Member looked at the others with eyes full of doubt...

Especially those who frequently called for the use of the God-killing soul-guided missile...

The Chairman sighed helplessly, "Don't be so nervous, I'm only saying there's a possibility, it doesn't mean we actually have a traitor among us!"

Then, he waved his hand, "Alright, all Council Members may leave now. You don't need to concern yourselves with what follows!"

These Council Members, truly good for nothing but complicating matters!

A mere offhand remark brought about a shift in the entire internal atmosphere...
