Chapter 2104: Ambush (Please Subscribe)_1

Seeing Xu Sheng not speaking, Long Yeyue asked subconsciously, "Elder Xu?"

The former immediately snapped back to reality and chuckled, "Elder Long, I think I understand what you mean. However, the Divine Realm and the Lower Realm are now separated, and the hardest part is acquiring godhood!"

"Without godhood, becoming a God is extraordinarily difficult!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue sighed with a hint of regret, "I see..."

From this exchange, it was apparent that the former had not obtained godhood, which promptly dispelled his own internal thoughts!

Xu Sheng turned his head and briefly glanced at the archives stored here...

He picked up a file at random and just then discovered something that surprised him...

"Hmm? There are actually records of that kid Qian Yu!"

Seeing his expression change, Long Yeyue added, "That was a predecessor named Qian Yu, who was also a student of Shrek Academy. It's said that he achieved godhood at the hundredth level alongside the Dragon-fly Douluo Tang Wutong!"

Xu Sheng hummed softly in response and then started reading with great interest...

Long Yeyue took a deep breath, "Then Elder Xu, please take your time, I will not disturb you!"

With that, she turned around and left...

She had achieved her goal, and whether Xu Sheng could use these materials to break through to the hundredth level was up to him!

Almost the moment her presence disappeared, Xu Sheng put down the file in his hand...

Then, with a smile that was not quite a smile, he said to the empty secret room, "Qian Yu, I didn't expect you to have deliberately left your aura here, I never noticed it back then!"

After his words fell, something eerie happened. A male voice suddenly sounded, "Father! I don't remember leaving any aura in the Lower Realm myself!"

"It must have been someone who collected the soul tool I made and offered it for a long time!"

After all, the soul tool contained his residual Divine Power!

Xu Sheng did not pursue further, saying indifferently, "Well then, how are things in the Divine Realm?"

Qian Yu paused for a moment, then said gravely, "The Divine Realm has the Sea God and me holding the fort, and nothing unusual has happened! However..."

Xu Sheng's eyes tightened, "However, what?"

Qian Yu continued, "However, some First-Level Gods believe they have the strength and want to vie for the position of main god!"

Xu Sheng pondered for a moment, replying, "Then lift the restrictions and let them fight for it. It will be a good opportunity to select the top combat power among the First-Level Gods of the Divine Realm!"

"Yes, father! I will go and discuss this with the Sea God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Sheng cut off the communication and casually erased Qian Yu's residual aura from the place!

...

Elsewhere!

Halosa and Leng Yulai were leading a large group of Evil Soul Masters, infiltrating the city closest to the Star Luo Empire Palace!

Leng Yulai furrowed her brows, "Vice Sect Hierarch, the Demon Emperor's order was to have us defend the Holy Spirit Cult, our acting on our own..."

She did not want to incur the Demon Emperor's punishment over this!

Halosa glanced at her, "What, do you disagree with my decision?"

Although he had always been inconspicuous within the Holy Spirit Cult, one should not forget that his true strength was no less than the Ghost Emperor's!

Leng Yulai swallowed hard, "No... Not at all, but why are we here?"

Halosa sneered, "According to the message from our plant in the federation, they will send a team today to negotiate with the Xingluo Empire's Emperor!"

"And in this city, we are right on their must-pass route! If we annihilate this team here..."

Leng Yulai gasped, "Vice Sect Hierarch, are you saying to use this to drive a wedge between the relationship of the Star Luo Empire and the Federation?"

"But achieving that won't be easy!"

The higher-ups of the Douluo Federation were no fools!

A slight smirk turned up the corners of Halosa's mouth, his cheeks brimming with intense confidence…

At this moment, the federation team was hurrying toward the Star Luo Empire Palace!

A sudden chill crept up a Federation Soldier's back as he said with residual fear, "This Xingluo Empire feels so gloomy, as if it has been taken over by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"

Another Federation Soldier scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. If the Holy Spirit Cult really took over so many cities, how could the Xingluo Empire's Emperor still remain seated!"

"Ever since the Xingluo Empire launched the eradication campaign last time, the Holy Spirit Cult seems to have calmed down a bit!"

"Hmph, those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult are beasts that kill without blinking an eye. They're probably preparing a bigger conspiracy!"

One of the federation's leaders, seated in the soul car, heard their discussion and urged, "Everyone, quicken your pace. The content of the negotiations with the royal family of Xingluo Empire is of utmost importance; we must not have any mishaps!"

All Federation Members echoed, "Yes!"

No sooner had they spoken than they began to move even faster…

After reaching the next checkpoint, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the entrance…

The soldiers, with serious expressions, said, "If you wish to enter the city, please show proof of identity!"

The man immediately got down from the soul car and passed over a confidential document stamped with the federation's seal…

After careful examination, the expressions on the Xingluo Empire soldiers' faces changed abruptly, and they all stepped aside to clear the way…

"Guests from the federation, please come in!"

But just then, a burst of fire enveloped the soul car at the rear, and a violent explosion accompanied by searing heat shot up into the sky…

Large sections of buildings collapsed at an alarming rate…

The sky, too, had at some point turned to a dismal gray, emitting an air of despair and suffocation…

Shortly after, the ground rumbled as countless strange creatures emerged from the earth, surrounding the entire checkpoint within minutes; this bustling area had become a city of death…

The Federation Members, realizing something was amiss, cried out, "Not good, we've fallen into an ambush set by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters! Everyone, activate your Defensive Soul Guidance Devices immediately!"

In an instant, numerous Defensive Soul Guidance Devices were activated, protecting the high-ranking federation officials in their midst…

"Damn it, how did our plan to visit the Xingluo Empire leak? Could there be a traitor from the Holy Spirit Cult among us?"

"The operation was covert and we did not bring any powerful Soul Masters with us, what should we do now?"

"All these bizarre creatures, just looking at them makes my scalp tingle!!"

"Quick, look ahead! Those... are all Evil Soul Masters!!"

It could be seen that the Evil Soul Masters were getting closer, with Halosa leading them, clad in crystal-clear armor, a gray cloak, and in his right hand, he held a slender Cross Sword, which like his armor, was of a grayish-transparent hue, with a faint gray mist shrouding it.

If one observed closely, they would see that he was a man of remarkable handsomeness and grace, with long black hair cascading behind him…

It was hard to imagine such a man was the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Nether King Douluo, Halosa!
