Spirit Pagoda!
The members responsible for frontline communication had not received any response...
This inevitably made them feel that something was amiss...
"Damn it, what on earth has happened to the people we sent out? Why haven't they made contact for so long?"
"Could these guys have been dragged into the battle and fallen?"
"That shouldn't be the case, the Pagoda Master's order was just to monitor, with no intention to get involved in this fight!"
"But if that's not the case, then why have they lost contact? I fear... these guys acted on their own and didn't take the Pagoda Master's command to heart!"
The man in the lead, seeing the situation growing more chaotic, scolded coldly, "Enough noise! We'll dispatch another team to the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters now, I'll go report to the Pagoda Master!!"
Having said this, he stood up, briefly instructed the others, and then quickly left...
...
Soon, the man arrived outside the resting room...
After knocking on the door hastily, he said in a panicked tone, "Pagoda Master, I have something to report to you!"
Quickly, the cool voice of Gu Yuena came from inside...
"Come in!"
Only after taking a deep breath did the man push open the door and enter...
But the scene before him left him completely dumbfounded...
There was Gu Yuena, holding a paintbrush, completely engrossed in her painting...
One could vaguely make out that it was a portrait of a man's face on the paper, but it was still unfinished and unrecognizable...
Gu Yuena stopped what she was doing and looked up at him, "What is it, speak!"
The man came back to his senses and reported, "Pagoda Master, our members sent to monitor the battlefield have encountered an accident and lost contact!!"
The former's expression remained very calm, "They must have been caught up in the war."
In a battle of such a vast scale, it isn't something one can avoid if they wish!
Moreover, the adversary was Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters who didn't care whether others were friend or foe!
With some confusion, the man said, "Pagoda Master, you seem... not worried at all?"
Gu Yuena glanced at him and countered, "What is there to worry about? Just dispatch another team to the battlefield, isn't that enough?"
Such a trivial matter also needed to be reported to her; she was very disappointed with the Spirit Pagoda Members' capabilities!
The man's brow furrowed involuntarily, "That's true..."
He couldn't shake the feeling that the Pagoda Master...simply didn't care about the lives of the Spirit Pagoda members!
Sensing that the man's mood was off, Gu Yuena asked again, "What, do you have another opinion?"
Facing the terrifying pressure, the man naturally didn't dare to speak his mind, quickly denying, "No... no."
"Then go back to your post, and I hope the next thing you report will be meaningful!"
"Yes... Pagoda Master!"
...
Meanwhile, on the battlefield!
Both the Holy Spirit Cult and various other forces had already reached a horrifying number of casualties, a scene beyond words...
It was truly a boundless purgatory...
Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult, witnessing their comrades falling one after another, were rapidly retreating towards their rear...
But with every passing second, people were still dying tragically, and fear continued to grow in their hearts...
Finally, under the threat of death, they couldn't help but voice their inner thoughts...
"Damn it, if this continues, we'll definitely be caught in a pincer attack and the whole army will be wiped out!!"
"Where the hell are the Sect Hierarch and the Vice Sect Hierarch? Why haven't we seen them this whole time? Most of the protectors have fallen!"
"Could it be that they have already fled? Damn, if that's the case, we have no chance of winning at all!!"
"What are you afraid of? The Sect Hierarch and Vice Sect Hierarch won't abandon us. Let's fight these guys with all we've got!!"
"I...I don't want to die! I don't want to die, escape... right, I need to run away, run away!"
Compared to the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Soul Masters of the various powers were clearly more determined...
"Everyone, keep charging with me! The evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult have already suffered heavy casualties, and our reinforcements are about to arrive!!"
"That's right! Kill these filthy creatures and make today the day the Holy Spirit Cult is completely eradicated!!"
"Hmph, cursed Holy Spirit Cult, making our federation suffer such great losses. But as long as we can eradicate them, all this will be worth it!"
"Once the Holy Spirit Cult is wiped out, our Soul Land will be at peace!"
"Enough talk, keep fighting, and eliminate the evil Soul Masters to the last!!"
As these words fell, they charged again with even more ferocity...
Positioned at the top of the Holy Spirit Cult, looking down upon the battle below, the Ming Emperor suddenly spoke, "Ghost Emperor, the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are about to be annihilated. Isn't it time for you to take action?"
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor let out a light chuckle, "No rush... let the blood accumulate a bit more!"
These evil Soul Masters were but pawns; their death or the death of their opponents would both bring gains to him!
The Ming Emperor's eyes flickered, "If it's too late, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion won't allow you to activate the Formation, they'll definitely do everything to stop you."
Even though he and the Ghost Emperor were both Limit Douluo level powerhouses, facing so many opponents simultaneously meant they had no chance at victory!!
But the Ghost Emperor felt no pressure at all, instead he mercilessly mocked, "Stop me? Ridiculous! Long before the war began, I had already extended the range of the entire Formation for thousands of kilometers!"
Upon hearing this, the Ming Emperor said no more...
The Ghost Emperor was too overconfident, which gave him an uneasy feeling that something unexpected might happen!
After a few minutes, he saw Tang Wulin and the others, speeding towards his position...
His expression finally turned serious...
"Ghost Emperor, now it seems you have no choice but to activate the Array; I estimate that the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion have already killed all the protectors and are rushing over here!"
The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes, evidently realizing that this was indeed the case!
He immediately erupted with terrifying Soul Power, and a Soul Ring at his feet lit up instantly...
Faintly visible, the entire Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters began to be enveloped by layer upon layer of eerie film, as if any attack that struck it would melt away...
The people below, including Tang Wulin, naturally noticed the anomalies at the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters...
Yue Zhengyu revealed a puzzled look, "What's that thing covering the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters? It looks a bit off!"
Yuanen Yehui said coldly, "Seems like some kind of Protective Barrier? It appears to be there to hinder us from entering."
After a pause, he continued, "Wait, could it be that the Sect Hierarch and Vice Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult are inside?"
Tang Wulin felt a sense of foreboding and exclaimed, "Not good! The Ghost Emperor and the Ming Emperor must be plotting something. Everybody, speed up!"
"We must stop their plan before it unfolds!!"
