Mu Chen's words made every person present reveal an expression of sudden realization...
They started to say, "Mu Chen makes sense. If that's the case, the Holy Spirit Cult managing to develop the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shells before the Tang Sect, indeed..."
"If you think about it carefully, it is truly terrifying. The Holy Spirit Cult had already been preparing for today decades ago! That so-called Demon Emperor, is quite the schemer!"
"Back when the Ghost Emperor was in charge of the Holy Spirit Cult, the threat was far less than it is now!"
Zhen Hua nodded slightly and calmly said, "Mu Chen, your words are logical, but this is merely subjective reasoning. We are unaware of the specifics!"
"However, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda may indeed be harboring unspeakable secrets!"
The members of the Blacksmith Association stumbled upon a clue while investigating the Spirit Pagoda!
Every once in a while, a large portion of the Artificial Spirit Souls from the Spirit Pagoda would inexplicably vanish without any record!
This was completely against the rules of the Spirit Pagoda!
Seeing this, one of the men asked, "President, do we need to inform Shrek Academy and the other forces about this matter?"
Zhen Hua shook his head and denied, "No need! If we were able to find this out, Shrek Academy definitely can too. They're probably just frustrated by the lack of evidence, so they can't move against the Spirit Pagoda!"
After a pause, he continued, "For now, we just need to ensure our own safety!"
The confrontation between the Holy Spirit Cult and the various major forces was not something the Blacksmith Association could get involved in!
In response, everyone bowed their heads and chose silence...
...
Outside the Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Sheng wore a strange expression as he said, "They haven't come yet? Seems like I need to go in myself."
But the next second, his eyes caught sight of several Holy Spirit Cult Elders emerging, each exuding a thick aura of evil!
Their soul power ranks even surpassed that of Titled Douluos!
When their gazes swept towards Xu Sheng, they all showed a hint of contempt on their faces...
"Kid, you dare to come and cause trouble at our Holy Spirit Cult by yourself, are you tired of living?"
"Isn't this just a brat who's recently broken through to the rank of Soul Douluo? The Vice Sect Hierarch really worries too much, to send so many of us Elders here!"
"Tsk, let me tear this guy in two. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone think they can run wild in our Holy Spirit Cult!"
As soon as the Elder finished speaking, he took a violent step forward, and a Sky-swallowing Python with pitch-black flames appeared out of nowhere behind him!
Nine Soul Rings, each flashing different lights, appeared beneath his feet!
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black!
The next second, like a cannonball, he burst forward, reaching out to grab Xu Sheng by the neck...
"Kid, just die quietly!"
The other Evil Soul Masters watching the scene were all ecstatically cheering, "Elder is mighty! Take down this guy with a blow!"
"Right, he has just killed several of our comrades. We can't let him go!"
"Best to skin him, draw his tendons, and let him die in despair, hahaha!"
"This man is just a Soul Douluo, while we Elders have reached the Titled Douluo. Killing him would be effortless!"
Facing the attack from the Elder, Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "I say, your Demon Emperor hasn't shown up yet, and you're already attacking me. Isn't this a bit rash?"
After speaking, just as the Elder's palm was about to touch his neck, Xu Sheng grabbed the Elder's wrist first!
The Evil Soul Master Elder looked surprised, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be able to block my attack, but..."
However, as he was about to strike again, he suddenly sensed that something was amiss!
His heart cried out, "What has happened? Why can't my palm break free from his Binding??"
Not only that, when he tried to release his soul skill, he found that the pathways for circulating Soul Power in his body seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, completely hindering any movement!
Xu Sheng glanced at him, gave an indifferent twist and then a crisp "Crack!" was heard...
Intense pain kept assaulting him, and the face of this Elder from the evil Soul Masters gradually became twisted as he bellowed, "Aaaaargh! You bastard!! I'm going to kill you!"
After speaking, he clenched his other hand into a fist and threw a punch straight towards Xu Sheng's face...
In an instant, a head stained with blood rolled onto the ground, with eyes wide open as if they refused to close in death.
At this moment, including several other Elders of evil Soul Masters, everyone had a deep chill spread through their hearts...
The man before them had just slain a Title Douluo evil Soul Master with a single hand chop!
This kind of strength was simply impossible to achieve!
After a long while, they came back to their senses. One of the evil Soul Masters said with a trembling voice, "Elder... Elders, should we still go for it? This man... something's not right about him."
The Elder beside him glared at him fiercely, "Go go go, go my ass, wait... wait for the Vice Sect Hierarch and the others to come out before we talk!"
Slayers of this level, cutting them down was just like chopping vegetables!
Xu Sheng said indifferently, "It seems like you don't want to make a move after all. Then I'll just go in myself!"
After speaking, he stepped toward the inside of the Holy Spirit Cult...
However, he was met with a woman who wore a slight smile on her face!
It was none other than the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Her Beautiful Eyes fixed on Xu Sheng, she spoke softly, "Sir, upon your first visit to our Holy Spirit Cult, slaughtering so many comrades, aren't you being a tad impolite?"
Having witnessed his methods, she was even more convinced of an idea in her heart...
Behind her, the Ghost Emperor said with a somber expression, "This fellow... to effortlessly kill a Titled Douluo without releasing a Martial Soul or Soul Power, how terrifying his strength must be!"
They had all witnessed the scene that just unfolded!
Halos also swallowed hard, secretly thinking, "An Ultimate Douluo? No... A Soul Master capable of this feat has definitely transcended the realm of an Ultimate Douluo!"
Xu Sheng glanced at the corpse on the ground without change in expression, "Politeness? Regarding that, perhaps you should ask these dead evil Soul Masters."
He had no intention of massacring; he merely wanted to use this method to deter the other evil Soul Masters!
The amber eyes of the woman flickered, and with a slight curl of her lips, she said, "Is that so? Then there must have been some unpleasant misunderstandings. Since you are a guest, please come with me!"
After speaking, she led Xu Sheng into the Holy Spirit Cult...
As for the evil Soul Masters watching this scene, they were completely dumbfounded...
This man had just killed their comrades, and yet the Demon Emperor showed no anger!
"What is the Demon Emperor doing? Why is she showing such respect to this guy!"
"Exactly, to take action within the bounds of our Holy Spirit Cult, given the personality of the Demon Emperor, this man should have died a thousand times over!"
"Do you think this man could possibly be the Demon Emperor's..."
"Shut your mouth, would you? Do you no longer wish to live?"
Within the Holy Spirit Cult, only the Ghost Emperor knew the true identity of the Demon Emperor!
