1962 Chapter: The Intruder (Please Subscribe)_1

Douling Empire!

A white-haired elderly man extended a hand that resembled withered bone and slowly began, "Your Majesty, the mission has failed. The team dispatched to the Douling Land has not looted the batch of Spirit Souls!"

"Not only that, but several members of the Spirit Pagoda have also been let go. I fear the Douluo Empire has already become suspect!!"

Xue Yuntian, the emperor of the Douling Empire, suddenly darkened his face and snapped, "A bunch of incompetents! Can't even handle this simple matter!"

Do they not know how important this batch of Spirit Souls is to the Douling Empire?

Half of the Soul Masters in the entire empire have seen their soul power rank stagnate for years because they lack the supply of Spirit Souls!

Seeing this, the elderly man spoke up to pacify, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Although we've aroused suspicion from the Spirit Pagoda, I've already secretly disposed of them all. Surely the Spirit Pagoda won't be able to prove it was us who acted!"

As long as there's no evidence, the Spirit Pagoda won't possibly take action against the entire Douling Empire!

At these words, Xue Yuntian's expression eased somewhat, "We owe you much for this matter. Otherwise, the situation in the Douling Land would've worsened!"

We failed this time, so the Spirit Pagoda will definitely be on guard next time!

Douling Land, what to do?

Seeming to see through his thoughts, the elderly man's dim eyes twinkled with a few glimmers of light, "Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, the Spirit Pagoda has changed hands. The new Pagoda Master is the Sky Phoenix Douluo, whose soul power rank has reached level 99!"

"Perhaps, we could use the change of the Pagoda Master's appointment as an excuse to clear the air!"

Xue Yuntian, in his earlier years of fiery temperament, had completely fallen out with the Spirit Pagoda, ultimately losing the supply of Spirit Souls!

And this disadvantage has grown in recent years, now causing dissatisfaction among all the Soul Masters on the Continent!

If this issue isn't resolved soon, I fear even the entire empire will be overthrown!

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuntian hesitated, "But... we only just dispatched Soul Masters in an attempt to loot Spirit Souls and killed some of the Spirit Pagoda members recently!"

"If we approach the Spirit Pagoda to discuss this matter now, while the dust has not settled, it might confirm the accusations against us!"

The elderly man replied unflappably, "What Your Majesty says is not unreasonable, but... if we want to get the Douling Empire back on the right track, this is the only way!"

Or, the people of the Douluo Empire could try to develop Spirit Souls themselves, but clearly, that's impossible!

If it were so easy, the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't monopolize the supply of Spirit Souls like it does now!

Xue Yuntian took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I understand. After the storm blows over, I will personally extend an invitation to the Spirit Pagoda,"

"Even if... it comes at a great cost!"

Only then did the elderly man reveal a comforting smile and bow slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm relieved that you understand. My body won't last many more years, I just hope to see you stabilize your rule before then!"

Xue Yuntian quickly helped him up, "Don't talk like that, the future Douling Empire won't manage without you!"

...

At this moment, within the Blood God Army!

Yes, there was someone resting in his private rest chamber, and in front of him, stood a huge screen...

At a glance, it was clear that the scenes showing on the screen were from every location inside the Blood God Army!

Zhang Huanyun casually glanced at the screen and remarked, "It seems there's nothing unusual today, though I wonder how Tang Wulin is adapting since joining the Blood God Camp."

Perhaps, I should take the opportunity to meet him!

Just as this thought arose, Zhang Huanyun spotted a particularly interesting scene on the screen...

...

Aruheng, crouching behind the cover, expressed his doubtful sentiment, "I'm saying, Sima Younger Brother, are you sure we won't be discovered by the soldiers of the Blood God Army?"

Having made a breakthrough with Mu Ye's help, he had wormed out of the latter that Tang Wulin, who had not joined the Body Sect, was also practicing the secret methods!

So, he thought to come and check out the Blood God Army.

Sima Jinchi said confidently next to him, "Of course, I know this place like the back of my hand. Follow me, and we will definitely not be discovered!"

Still cautious, Aruheng pressed on, "Before that, let me ask one more question, what would happen if we're caught? I've heard that the discipline of the Blood God Army is very strict..."

Sima Jinchi patted his chest, "Don't worry about it, Aruheng old chap, we aren't traitors who are spying on intelligence. Even if we get caught, they won't do much. Besides, with our strength, escaping would be easy, right?!"

Aruheng paused, pondering and then said, "Well, that does make sense!"

He was very confident in his own strength!

Sima Jinchi nodded and reminded, "Then Aruheng old brother, get ready, we're going to infiltrate right now!"

Aruheng gave a thumbs-up to show he was ready.

Thereupon, the two of them concealed their soul power fluctuations and slowly advanced, using the cover...

After advancing for another ten minutes or so, they had reached the final checkpoint...

Looking at the dozens of soldiers guarding ahead, Sima Jinchi said excitedly, "We're almost there, just past this checkpoint, and we'll officially be inside the Blood God Army!"

Aruheng, excited about soon seeing his junior brother, said with excitement, "Sima Younger Brother, I knew I didn't choose the wrong person!"

But as they were about to move forward, the area was suddenly filled with the shrill sound of an alarm...

"Buzz buzz buzz!!"

In an instant, all the soldiers sprang to action, shouting, "Enemy intruders, everyone immediately seal off the scene!!"

In just a matter of seconds, the entire checkpoint was completely surrounded…

Seeing the situation, Aruheng panicked, saying anxiously, "Sima Younger Brother, didn't you say it would be fine? Why have we been detected?!"

Sima Jinchi clenched his teeth, "Aruheng old chap, I must confess, this is… this is actually my first time at the Blood God Army too!"

Meanwhile, he cursed inwardly, "Wasn't this place supposed to be desolate and dangerous? Why is there an alert system for soul masters?!"

Clearly, before they could think of a way to handle the situation, they were already spotted by several soldiers!

"The intruding Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters are here!!"

"Come on, arrest them immediately!!"

"Damn Evil Soul Masters, daring to reach out to our Blood God Army!!"

Knowing that he had been exposed, Sima Jinchi immediately stood up and scolded, "Evil my grandma's big head ghost, I am a respectable Soul Master!"

Aruheng also stood up and explained, "We're not evil soul masters, we just have some business with the Blood God Army..."

But the next second, they were met with numerous soul-guided guns, an absolutely hair-raising sight...

If hit, one's body would turn into a sieve!!

With no other choice, the two of them had to release their Martial Souls to defend themselves...
