Chapter 1436: Soul Beast Legion (Please Subscribe)_1
Halos looked toward the Ghost Emperor beside him and said, "Sect Hierarch, has the Demon Emperor ever mentioned to you why he shows such respect for that man?"
No matter when, he had never seen the Demon Emperor speak to anyone in that tone!
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor shook his head, indicating that he did not know either!
He had initially thought that the Demon Emperor would take action against the man who had trespassed into the Holy Spirit Cult, but instead, the Demon Emperor treated him with reverence!
This was indeed somewhat baffling!
Let's not forget, their Holy Spirit Cult was a gathering place for evil Soul Masters!!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Halos and said indifferently, "The Demon Emperor must have his reasons for acting this way. You should have seen the man's actions earlier, how he killed a Title Douluo in one strike without using Soul Power or a Martial Soul! Even I can't do that!"
He paused, then added, "There's no need for us to intervene in this matter!"
Seeing the former speak thus, Halos nodded slightly, "Yes, Sect Hierarch!"
But deep inside, he couldn't help but wonder about Xu Sheng's true identity, for him to cause such a drastic change in the Demon Emperor...
...
Meanwhile, having reached the pavilion!
The woman revealed a gentle smile and said to Xu Sheng, "Please take a seat!"
Xu Sheng did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the chair, looking around at the surroundings with great interest...
She, however, did not show the slightest anger, but elegantly brewed a pot of tea. After pouring a cup for Xu Sheng without changing her expression, she too took her seat again...
Xu Sheng took up the cup of tea, sipped lightly, and then spoke, "I've always heard that the Demon Lord of the Holy Spirit Cult is extremely ruthless. Now it seems that it's all just rumors."
Her beautiful eyes fixated silently for a moment, she said casually, "Is that so? It seems that the soul Masters of the continent have greatly misunderstood me. However, I am very curious, what brings you here this time?"
Just now, she had unconsciously released her own imposing pressure, but as it approached Xu Sheng, it was easily dissolved by an invisible force!
This also confirmed her suspicion — she was not wrong!
The man before her was definitely not someone she could afford to offend!
Xu Sheng took another light sip of tea, "I'm just here to visit the Holy Spirit Cult. Would the Demon Lord believe me?"
The woman looked straight into his eyes, and said earnestly, "I believe you!"
The former showed a trace of surprise, and he praised without stinting, "As expected of the wife of the Deepsea Devil Whale King — your composure really is extraordinary!"
And with that short sentence, tumultuous waves rose inside the heart of the Demon Lord!
The man before her actually knew about her relationship with the Deepsea Devil Whale King! Could it be that he was also someone who survived from tens of thousands of years ago?
And furthermore, he might be related to that incident!
After forcibly suppressing the fluctuations in her emotions, the woman asked inconspicuously, "Now that you know my identity, shouldn't you introduce yourself as well?"
Xu Sheng did not refuse, "My name is Xu Sheng, one of the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!"
The woman's mind began racing, thinking to herself, "Xu Sheng? This name seems familiar, but I can't quite place it."
She had an impression of the name, but couldn't quite recall it accurately!
Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, Xu Sheng put down the teacup, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table, "Don't try to probe my identity, you will find out in time!"
The fact that this Demon Lord before him didn't remember was not a coincidence—it was because he had used Divine Power to disturb her memory!
...
The human-shaped Bi Ji spoke to the authoritative man beside her, "Di Tian, you say the lord has not contacted us for so long, could something have happened?"
"Yes, boss, and according to the current time, Shrek Academy should have already started its vacation!"
"Boss, how about sending me to find the lord and bring her here?"
"The lord is our leader and must not encounter any trouble; humans are so cunning and sly, I'm worried..."
The men speaking were ferocious beasts from Aquipeia Forest transformed into humans!
With a solemn face, Di Tian raised his right palm after hearing their words and stopped them, "There's no need, if the lord hasn't returned, she surely has something she must finish."
"Besides, there is that man hidden within Shrek Academy; nothing will go wrong!"
As these words fell, including Bi Ji, everyone conjured up the image of Xu Sheng in their minds...
Then Di Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "Right, how is the task the lord entrusted us with progressing?"
When Gu Yue left, she instructed them to disguise their true forms through transformation and to assemble a legion in the guise of humans on the Continent!
Furthermore, they could expand the legion's strength by recruiting human Soul Masters!
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji's lips curled into a smile, "The legion has already taken rough shape; currently, we have absorbed over two thousand Soul Masters!"
These beasts, originally from Aquipeia Forest, had strength that generally matched that of Hyper Douluo and Ultimate Douluo, while Di Tian himself had reached the terrifying level of a Demigod!
With these top strengths, gathering human Soul Masters to join was not an issue!
Di Tian nodded slightly, "Very well."
As long as they didn't expose their soul beast identities, this legion would always be under their control, even potentially developing to a terrifying extent!
Moreover, using human Soul Masters to fight against human Soul Masters was indeed very satisfying to these soul beasts, truly a method worthy of the lord's invention!
At that moment, one of the ferocious beasts' eyes flashed, suggesting, "Boss, I think we should also learn about that so-called soul tool! Otherwise, it will still be very difficult to contend with human forces!"
It was the soul tools that reduced their Soul Beast Clan to this state!
"Hmm, I think this suggestion makes sense; reportedly, a few days ago, Tang Sect, a first-class power on the Continent, was turned to ashes by a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell!"
"I have heard this news as well, the killing range of the Soul Guidance Shell reached half a city!!"
Bi Ji also nodded, echoing, "Di Tian, I also think so! We are not the soul beasts that only knew how to improve cultivation level anymore; we must keep up with the times to better survive in today's world!"
Di Tian naturally understood the meaning behind their words, stroked his chin in thought, and said, "Hmm... You make a valid point, soul tools are indeed a tricky business, but where shall we learn the technology of soul tools from!"
The current strength of the legion was still far from attracting attention from various powers; to expect others to teach knowledge about soul tools for free was wishful thinking!
Before he could ponder further, Bi Ji interrupted, "About this matter, I have already thought ahead! And I've outlined a tentative plan."
Di Tian's golden eyes lit up, "Oh? Let's hear it..."
Bi Ji took a deep breath and explained, "Since we can't gain the attention of the major powers, then we could..."
"Although doing so carries not a small risk, as long as we succeed, we can not only obtain knowledge on soul tools but also enhance the legion's influence on the Continent!"
