Looking at Xie Xie and En Ci, who had returned, Tang Wulin and the others all showed nervous emotions on their faces…
Yue Zhengyu urgently asked, "Xie Xie, Sage Dragon Douluo, what is the situation in the imperial palace?"
Xie Xie answered in a deep voice, "The situation is not very good, just as we predicted earlier, the imperial palace has already been occupied by the Ghost Emperor and other evil Soul Masters!"
En Ci added, "Yes, besides that, we can also confirm that Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Dou Spirit Empire has died at the hands of the Ghost Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, the Soul Masters of the Dou Spirit Empire couldn't help but lower their heads, trembling slightly all over…
If His Majesty the Emperor is dead, that would mean the complete downfall of the Dou Spirit Empire…
And what should they, the once Soul Masters of the Dou Spirit Empire, do now?
Tang Wulin, who was already mentally prepared, showed no change in emotion…
He immediately continued to ask, "Then, with the people we have here, is there any chance of retaking the imperial palace?"
Just the Ghost Emperor and a small number of evil Soul Masters, it seems that it might not be impossible to retake the imperial palace!
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately gave a negative assessment, "It's impossible. There are not a few evil Soul Masters in the imperial palace, and with the Ghost Emperor in command, the probability of winning in a direct confrontation is very low!"
"Of course, there's another important point, that guy, the Ghost Emperor, has grown much stronger!"
Yue Zhengyu narrowed his eyes, "Grown much stronger? Xie Xie, can you elaborate?"
Ya Li also spoke up, "Yes, describe in detail so everyone can have a rough understanding of the current strength of the Ghost Emperor!"
Tang Yinmeng supported the idea, "Exactly, if we want to retake the imperial palace, understanding the strength of the Ghost Emperor is essential; otherwise, we could very well be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
The power of the Ghost Emperor was already terrifying; if it had grown even more, then there would truly be no one who could battle him!
Xie Xie hesitated for a moment, then decided to pass the question to En Ci, "This... I'm not the best person to say, let's have Sage Dragon Douluo explain instead, he engaged in combat with the Ghost Emperor before and should have a clearer understanding."
Seeing that everyone's gaze had converged on him, En Ci just took a deep breath...
Only then did he speak with a serious expression, "I am not clear about the Ghost Emperor's exact strength."
"But in the battle against him, even after I released a defense soul skill, I was still injured by his casual strike!"
"Had it not been for Elder Xie's timely aid, I fear I would have already fallen at the imperial palace."
Upon hearing this, everyone's jaws dropped...
Especially the Soul Masters of the Xingluo Empire, who couldn't help but exclaim in shock...
"Wha... What?? A powerful expert like the Sage Dragon Douluo was injured by a casual strike from the Ghost Emperor, how terrifying must his power be?"
"Sss... Unimaginable, the Sage Dragon Douluo is one of the top powerhouses on the Continent, and yet he stands no chance before the Ghost Emperor!"
"It seems we have underestimated the power of the Ghost Emperor who has broken through to God Rank. Retaking the imperial palace from his grasp is likely to be quite difficult."
"Difficult? It's basically impossible, even if all the Ultimate Douluos present were to join forces, it would still be very uncertain!"
Tang Wulin sighed, "I didn't expect the Ghost Emperor to have grown so strong. Last time, it was only with great difficulty that Gu Yue and I managed to force him to retreat!"
"Now, I'm afraid we are not his match either!"
Yuanen Yehui clenched his fists, "The Ghost Emperor back then was already difficult for us to contend with, now...sigh"
Ya Li held her chin thoughtfully, "It seems impossible to retake the imperial palace; we must think of another way!"
Yuan En Zhentian suddenly mentioned, "Why not leave the Douling Empire first? Staying here, we could be exposed to the evil Soul Masters at any moment!"
"The situation would then be extremely dangerous!"
En Ci hesitated, "But if we just leave the Douling Empire like this, the Ghost Emperor will surely use every means to turn all Civilian Soul Masters into evil Soul Masters, I fear the number will far exceed today's!"
The other Soul Master powerhouses also expressed different opinions…
"Indeed, Holy Dragon Douluo makes a good point, if we let things be, the number of evil Soul Masters could increase by tens or hundreds of times, but staying within the territory of the Douling Empire is also very dangerous, it's quite a tough choice!"
"What should we do then? Even if we stay here, we can't do anything!"
"Otherwise, let's fight the evil Soul Masters outright, killing one is one less to deal with, death is death, who's afraid!"
"Don't be foolish, judging by the rate at which evil Soul Masters are converted, we wouldn't be able to kill them all even at the point of death, we must eliminate the Ghost Emperor who is the source of all the trouble!"
"Eliminate? That's easier said than done, even the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are not confident about launching an attack on the Ghost Emperor at the imperial palace, it's clearly a suicide mission!"
After a fierce argument, the entire space fell into a silent pause…
…
Finally, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Tang Wulin spoke up to interrupt, "Since everyone has different opinions about what to do next, how about this: some of us stay in the Douling Empire to monitor the movements of the evil Soul Masters and keep in touch at all times,"
"Others could return to Soul Land or the Xingluo Empire, and we'll make a decision after drawing up a detailed plan to confront the Ghost Emperor!"
"Of course, those who stay in Douling Empire are definitely in great danger and need to be mentally prepared!"
Arguing here is just a waste of time!
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ultimate Douluo of Douling Empire was the first to speak, "Hall Master Tang, leave the task of monitoring the evil Soul Masters to us!"
"Indeed, this is a matter for the Douling Empire, we are already very grateful that the Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy have come to support us,"
"Besides, we are more familiar with the terrain of Douling Empire, avoiding the evil Soul Masters isn't difficult!"
"As long as it contributes to the eradication of evil Soul Masters, what does it matter if it's a bit dangerous!"
Their Soul Masters may be weak, but that doesn't mean they are afraid of death!
Tang Wulin agreed with the request, "Very well, we'll entrust the task of monitoring the evil Soul Masters to you!"
Having said that, he turned to look at En Ci and asked, "So Holy Dragon Douluo, will you be returning to the Xingluo Empire first or…"
After careful consideration, En Ci spoke with utmost seriousness, "The situation in the Xingluo Empire is currently stable, so to save time, we should go directly to Soul Land for discussions!"
It would be too time-consuming to return to the Xingluo Empire and then head to Soul Land!
Moreover, he trusted that Emperor Dai Yueyan could manage the Xingluo Empire well!
Tang Wulin showed his understanding and then said to the Soul Master powerhouses of the Xingluo Empire, "Since Holy Dragon Douluo has no objections, I ask the mighty Soul Masters of the Xingluo Empire to proceed to Shrek Academy with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"
"There's no time to delay, set off immediately!"
