Chapter 2855: The Transformation of Xue Yuntian_1
```
Upon receiving their orders, the crowd left the imperial palace without any hesitation…
Xue Yuntian shook his head in disappointment, "Alas, the Douling Empire, why are they all such material!"
He truly felt that relying on soul technology to make the Douling Empire strong was still too difficult!
After all, excellent Soul Masters are based on the strength of powerful Soul Masters!!
A "buzz" of soul power fluctuation bloomed, and suddenly, an Ultimate Douluo appeared in the great hall…
His face solemn, he reported, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it has been confirmed that the Ghost Emperor's aura is not present in the imperial palace, but, it does not rule out the possibility of him launching another attack on you!"
That Xie Xie was able to protect the former due to his Spatial Ability!
If it were them instead, although Ultimate Douluo, confronting the Ghost Emperor head-on would probably not last long!
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuntian stood up from the throne and sighed, "Hmm, there's nothing that can be done about it, if the Ghost Emperor wanted to kill me, even entering Shrek Academy would not offer an escape!"
After several days of contemplation, he had come to a realization!
If he was truly destined to die at the hands of the Ghost Emperor, then he might as well make as much contribution to the Douling Empire as possible while he still lived!
Hearing this, the Ultimate Douluo couldn't help but remind, "Your Majesty the Emperor, do we need to summon all the strong ones to the imperial palace? If the Ghost Emperor attacks, we could at least buy you a chance to escape!"
Xue Yuntian shook his head, dismissing the suggestion…
Other places needed Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses to guard them even more than the imperial palace!!
Then, he changed the subject, "Let's not discuss this topic for now. What is the current situation of the Douling Empire?"
The former hesitated for a moment before answering, "There have been no changes in the central region of the Douling Empire, but… in the surrounding small cities, quite a few evil Soul Masters have emerged and are spreading at an extremely fast rate!"
"If left unchecked, I'm afraid it will become very troublesome!"
Xue Yuntian's eyes narrowed, and he commanded coldly, "If evil Soul Masters have appeared, they must be exterminated; we cannot allow them to grow unchecked!"
"Convey my orders, immediately gather the Douling Empire's elite troops and Soul Masters, head to these cities, and make sure to exterminate all evil Soul Masters!!"
It seemed that there were still some Soul Masters of the Douling Empire who did not want to believe in the royal household and chose to continue their cultivation, thus being transformed into evil Soul Masters!
The former hesitated for a moment but still expressed his concerns, "Your Majesty the Emperor, if we are to exterminate all evil Soul Masters, I'm afraid there will be quite a few casualties…"
Xue Yuntian glanced at him and decisively said, "Since we cannot prevent the Ghost Emperor from converting evil Soul Masters, at least we must protect the civilians of the Douling Empire!!"
The Ultimate Douluo, as if feeling the resolution in his words, said in a daze, "Your Majesty the Emperor…"
He could clearly sense that the former's character had undergone a very significant change…
Everything he had done before, although for the Douling Empire, was fundamentally about securing his own throne!
But now, he could not see any desire for the throne in him, what was there was only concern for the Douling Empire!
Thinking of this, he said very seriously, "Your Majesty the Emperor, rest assured, the Douling Empire's elite troops will definitely eradicate these evil Soul Masters!!"
Since His Majesty the Emperor had changed, no matter what, he himself must protect him!!
…
Sea God's Pavilion!
Cai Yue'er, upon receiving the news, spoke with a somewhat strange expression, "The federation has just sent a message, saying that the Spirit Pagoda has discovered that they are secretly manufacturing the fourth God-killing soul-guided missile, and a large number of Spirit Pagoda Soul Masters have already been dispatched to the abyssal plane!"
Ya Li was also puzzled, "The federation kept a very high level of secrecy regarding this matter, how could the Spirit Pagoda know about it?"
Lan Mu Zi nodded in agreement, "That's right, if Elder Yuan'en hadn't personally gone to the federation, we might still be kept in the dark at this moment!"
```
Tang Yinmeng spoke with utmost solemnity, "If the federation side didn't show any flaws, then doesn't that mean the only people who knew about this are from the Sea God's Pavilion!"
"Could it be that someone among us leaked the information?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er and the others instinctively turned their gazes towards the Shrek Seven Monsters...
After all, they had the closest relationship with Gu Yuena!
Yue Zhengyu felt extremely uncomfortable and was the first to speak up, "Well... Elder Cai, the way you all are looking at us, it's like you're treating us as traitors. But let me say this first, I haven't revealed any information to Gu Yue!"
Xu Xiaoyan also chimed in, "Neither have I. Although I'm quite close to Gu Yue, I also understand the gravity of the situation!"
Xie Xie shrugged his shoulders, "I just came back from the Douling Empire, how would I have had the chance to tell Gu Yue??"
Xu Lizhi muttered softly, "I... I haven't either!!"
Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui looked at each other, then nodded, "We haven't leaked any information either!"
"Which means..."
All eyes from the Sea God's Pavilion converged on Tang Wulin, awaiting his response...
Being Gu Yuena's partner, he was naturally the most suspect!
Seeing this, Tang Wulin also did not panic and slowly shook his head...
He said with a wry smile, "Even if I went to the Spirit Pagoda, it's very likely that Gu Yue wouldn't see me!"
Everyone naturally chose to believe his words.
Cai Yue'er propped up her chin, pondering, "If the Pavilion Master also hasn't told Gu Yue, does that mean the Spirit Pagoda discovered this on their own?"
Yuan En Zhentian glanced at her, "We can't rule out this possibility. No matter how cautious the federation is, it's still a huge force with many mouths, you never know when something might slip out!"
Lan Muzi's gaze sharpened, "The real question is, why would the Spirit Pagoda send so many members to the abyssal plane? The federation's mining of rare resources ended a few days ago!"
"Going now makes no sense!"
Tang Yinmeng countered, "Mu Zi, maybe the Spirit Pagoda doesn't know that the federation has finished mining, and simply wants to send these members to stop them?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin interjected, "No, it shouldn't be the case. I understand Gu Yue's nature; she wouldn't be so blatant in her actions!"
If she really wanted to obstruct the federation's mining, she would likely use more covert methods!
Upon hearing this, Lan Muzi pressed further, "Wulin, are you suggesting that the Spirit Pagoda members heading to the abyssal plane might just be a feint by Gu Yue to confuse the federation?!"
Tang Wulin affirmed, "Mm-hm! It's highly likely, but as for the specific purpose, I also..."
Just then, his communicator suddenly rang...
After answering it, Tang Wulin quietly listened to the message from the other end...
His expression subtly changed...
"So that's how it is! It seems Gu Yue's real goal was indeed not to hinder the federation's mining of rare resources!!"
"But rather..."
