Chapter 2249: Infiltrating the Abyss (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Douling Empire!

Xue Yuntian, seated on the throne, watched with a solemn expression as the foreign minister knelt before him...

He was the first to speak, "How's the situation?"

The latter seemed to recall the terrible scene from not long ago, lowered his head, and said with a trembling voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, not only were our people sent to Tang Sect humiliated, but they were also forcibly driven back!"

Xue Yuntian's expression did not change, clearly, this situation was still within his tolerance...

He continued to inquire, "Besides these, is there anything else?"

The foreign minister swallowed hard, and carefully said, "The Sect Leader also said... also said..."

But he couldn't bring himself to say the rest of the sentence...

Facing his dawdling, Xue Yuntian's face showed impatience, "Speak up; my patience is limited!"

The former's body trembled, "The Sect Leader said that Tang Sect no longer has any connection with the Douling Empire, and if there is any further involvement, they'll spare no expense to make us regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuntian sighed helplessly...

"Since Sect Master Zang has said so, it seems that he is not planning to give the Douling Empire a chance to reconcile!"

He was very annoyed about losing such a partner like Tang Sect, but now looking back, without doing so, the soul guidance device development in the Douling Empire would not have been possible!

With this in mind, he then pinned his hopes on those two "exchange students" who had gone to the Xingluo Empire to study soul guidance technology.

He immediately propped his chin up, pondering, "Right, what about the exchange students sent to the Xingluo Empire? Have they brought back anything valuable?"

Instantly, the foreign minister prostrated himself on the ground, "Your Majesty... your servant... dares not say!"

If he uttered these words, it was uncertain whether Xue Yuntian would fly into a rage and take his life!

Let's not forget, the last time a minister simply raised an objection, he was already beheaded!

Xue Yuntian pursed his lips, his tone softened a little, comforting, "Don't be so frightened, no matter if the results are satisfactory to me, you are absolved of any crime!"

It seems that his actions the last time were a bit excessive, making these people believe he was a tyrant who killed without blinking!

With that, the foreign minister looked up again and narrated, "Reporting to Your Majesty, they... they have officially declared that they've joined the Xingluo Empire and refused any contact with our Douling Empire!"

Xue Yuntian's eyes narrowed slightly, a few strands of coldness flickering, "In other words, they have betrayed the Douling Empire?"

The former nodded in agreement, "Yes... Indeed! Your Majesty."

Xue Yuntian moved his fingers, "You know what to do, right? Their families are still in our hands!"

He had anticipated this possibility when he decided to send them as exchange students to the Xingluo Empire, so as long as their families were there, it would be impossible for them to break free from the control of the Douling Empire!

With understanding, the minister bowed and said, "Yes, I will use the lives of their family members as leverage; I will not disappoint you!"

Xue Yuntian then closed his eyes, "Alright, you may withdraw!"

The Douling Empire had provided them with such great resources, yet they still chose betrayal!

Once he obtained sufficient intelligence, he would make sure these two traitors were subjected to a thousand cuts and a painful death!

...

Meanwhile!

After bidding farewell to the Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang Wulin immediately headed to the abyss...

Unlike before, following that attack, the surveillance around the entire abyss had become extremely strict!

Merely the number of established guard posts reached a hundred, and even an agile-attack class Titled Douluo would find it utterly impossible to penetrate under the watchful eyes of so many people!

Thus, without question, he was stopped by the soldiers wielding weapons at the very front...

"Ahead lies the critical area of the abyss, no one is allowed to enter!"

Tang Wulin said calmly, "I am under the orders of the regiment commander to make a trip into the abyss!"

The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, both somewhat puzzled...

The abyss had clearly been sealed, and no one should have been able to enter!

Tang Wulin also noticed their vigilance and handed over Zhang Huanyun's letter...

After reading the contents of the letter, the expressions on the faces of the two soldiers changed from surprise to respect...

After returning the letter, they said respectfully, "Major General Tang Wulin, please forgive our rudeness just now."

Tang Wulin shook his head, not only did he not blame them, but he also praised them, "No, you did the right thing, but please keep what just happened a secret!"

The two soldiers straightened their chests and said earnestly, "Yes, Major General Tang Wulin!"

And so, they chose to let him pass...

After passing the established sentry post, Tang Wulin finally arrived directly in front of the Abyssal Cave!

However, with the seal covering it, it was obvious that there was no way to enter from here!

A few strands of purple flickered in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Purple Demon Eyes!"

Tremendous spiritual power began to probe forward...

It lasted for a full ten minutes or so before he finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous spot!!

Tang Wulin couldn't help but be delighted, "The seal is very weak; it must be here!"

Just to be safe, he released the Golden Dragon in advance and fumbled his way in, starting his investigation...

As for why he didn't use the Sea God's Trident, it was simple: the Divine Artifact's waves were too obvious and would attract the attention of abyssal creatures!

Afterward, he passed through one winding tunnel after another until he finally reached the interior of the abyss...

But as soon as he entered, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him...

The entire space before him was covered by a dense mass of abyssal creatures, uncountable in number!

Moreover, each abyssal creature exuded a wildly violent and chaotic aura, seemingly ready to launch an attack at any moment!!

Tang Wulin took in a sharp breath, quickly hid behind a piece of cover, and concealed his own aura...

If discovered, just the spittle of these abyssal creatures would be enough to drown him!

"Spirit Emperor, do you think the Abyssal Emperor's plan will be successful? Using so many abyssal creatures seems a bit too..."

One of them, a man over two to three meters tall wielding a slender sickle, looked at his companion whose eyes emitted a purple-blue halo...

The Spirit Emperor simply said indifferently, "The Emperor has his own considerations. Besides, the breeding speed of abyssal creatures is naturally swift; losing some is of no great consequence!"

Listening to their conversation, Tang Wulin's pupils contracted quietly, "Are they... the Spirit Emperor and... the Fierce Emperor from the Abyssal Emperors?"

That terrifying aura emanating from their bodies, even from this distance, was making Tang Wulin sweat coldly and his heart beat faster...

Fortunately, after only a few words of discussion, they turned and left...

"Let's go, the Emperor will likely not have the abyssal creatures launch an attack anytime soon."

Feeling the presence of the two Abyssal Emperors gradually fading away, Tang Wulin secretly heaved a sigh of relief...

But the next second, the voice that came from behind chilled him to the bone!

"Human, you really do have quite the nerve!"
