Realizing he had already been exposed, the Demon Emperor also came out openly, indifferently saying, "I did intend to do so, but I never expected that so many evil Soul Masters working together couldn't even injure you!"

If it were himself, being bound by that ceremony just now, he might not have been able to escape!

The Ghost Emperor sneered, "You're indeed sincere, but the fact that they couldn't hurt me is something you should have anticipated long ago!"

"After all, I created them, gave them a second life, but unfortunately, these fools did not cherish it!"

If it was just for power, they could have simply requested it from me!

But these fools banded together, attempting to devour me, which is simply laughable!

The Demon Emperor completely disagreed, speaking directly and without evasion, "Is that so? But the evil Soul Masters who died by your hands are indeed more numerous than those killed by forces like Shrek Academy!"

"You think this is giving them a second life? It's just enslavement by another name!"

The Ghost Emperor didn't feel there was any issue at all, "What of it? I am stronger than them, that's the reason, just as I am enslaving you right now!"

The Demon Emperor stared at him for several seconds before taking a deep breath, "Indeed, you are no longer just an evil Soul Master, but a demon who only knows slaughter!"

Such a person would definitely not meet a good end!

The Ghost Emperor raised an eyebrow, "Demon, I don't dislike the name, but… to say I only know slaughter, that's where you are wrong!"

Confusion flickered through the Demon Emperor's eyes, "What do you mean?"

From everything the Ghost Emperor had done so far, all she could infer was killing, endless killing!

Or rather, a pure desire to plunge this world into chaos!

The Ghost Emperor immediately narrowed her eyes, "That, you do not need to know!"

Then, she looked towards those evil Soul Masters who had already died...

She spoke again, "You've watched for so long, yet you play dead in front of me, is that interesting to you??"

Indeed, these fellows had not actually died, but had used some method to feign death!

In an instant, the bodies of these evil Soul Masters emitted a sinister gray glow, their severed heads gradually moving to reconnect with their necks...

The supposedly dead were resurrected just like that...

However, after regaining their senses, they all knelt down, begging for mercy with frightened faces...

"Sect Hierarch, please spare us a way out, we did this because we had no other choice!"

"Yes, Sect Hierarch, we have always respected you deeply, and doing something like today was truly our last resort!"

"Sect Hierarch, your strength is formidable, surely beyond our comparison, all this is a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!"

"That's right, that's right, we were just joking with you, Sect Hierarch, we meant nothing else!!"

These words made the Ghost Emperor laugh out of extreme anger, "Just a joke, no other meaning?? You indeed know how to justify yourselves!"

"However... sparing your lives is not impossible!"

He thought of how to use these fellows for their last bit of value!!

The faces of the evil Soul Masters lit up, "Sect Hierarch, please instruct us, as long as it's within our capability, we will certainly not refuse!"

No matter what, as long as they could survive, they would agree first!

Latter, when they found a chance, they would just leave the Douling Empire!!

Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor's lips moved slightly...

Listening carefully, the evil Soul Masters couldn't help but widen their eyes, their bodies trembling...

"Sect… Sect Hierarch, do we really... need to do this?"

Hearing the reluctance intermixed in their words, the Ghost Emperor's face suddenly turned cold, challenging, "What? You're unwilling? Or do you prefer to go to Hell together?"

"No, no, no... Sect Hierarch, rest assured, we will do as you command!"

Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor waved his hand, "Alright, leave now!"

If these fools think they can escape from the Douling Empire and survive, they're incredibly naive!

With that said, the Evil Soul Masters exchanged looks then quickly stood and left the imperial palace...

The Demon Emperor, who had been watching silently with a cold eye, furrowed his brow and asked, "Ghost Emperor, what exactly did you make them do?"

Making those Evil Soul Masters so scared certainly wasn't a simple matter!

However, since the former had not spoken earlier, he didn't know exactly what had been said!

The Ghost Emperor merely gave the former a cold glance, "Demon Emperor, it seems you still don't have a clear understanding of your identity?"

"The previous question was answered because I was in a good mood, don't overstep your boundaries!"

Does this guy still think he's the Demon Emperor?

A chill suddenly ran up the back of the Demon Emperor...

Recalling the other's nearly overwhelming strength, he swallowed the words he was about to say...

He just scoffed coldly and then turned to leave...

Staying near this individual any longer might invite trouble, better to leave for now!

...

Meanwhile, at the border!

The Federation soldiers stationed there suddenly saw a vague black figure emerge before their eyes...

Quickly drawn to it, they began discussing, "What is that black figure upfront? Why can't we make out his features!"

"I don't know, it seems to be a human, and he's wearing a black cloak. Something feels off!"

"Hiss... This looks very familiar. Where have I seen it before?"

"Wait, everyone, look for yourselves, although his face is hidden by a black cloak, those eyes faintly emit a crimson light!!"

"Really, hey... wait, from what I recall, is that not an Evil Soul Master??"

Instantly, their expressions dramatically changed...

The appearance of an Evil Soul Master at the border likely meant that the Douling Empire's Evil Soul Masters were about to attack!!

The leader of the squad furrowed his brow, calmingly said, "Everyone, stay calm. It seems there's only that one guy upfront, even if he's an Evil Soul Master, he probably doesn't pose much of a threat!"

"However, just in case, let's try to communicate with him and then persuade him to turn back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's emotions gradually eased...

One of the Federation Members pulled out a soul megaphone and loudly ordered, "Person ahead, immediately stop your movements and leave the border area!"

"Otherwise, we will initiate an attack on you!!"

But then, the black figure showed no intention of stopping and continued to advance relentlessly...

The former looked at the captain next to him, urgently said, "Captain, this guy has no intention of stopping, what should we do??"

Upon hearing this, the others became alert, "Since he won't heed warnings, we have no choice but to use soul weapons and engage him, kill on the spot!"
