Chapter 1545: Xingluo Empire, National Ceremony (Subscribe Please)_1
The Demon Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted, as the force within her felt strangely restricted, forcibly retracting back into her...
In an instant, her complexion turned exceedingly unsightly, as she gritted her teeth and said, "What? How could this be?"
While speaking, she continued to summon the power inside her body, trying to break through this confinement...
Watching the Demon Emperor's ceaseless struggle, the expression hidden beneath the Ghost Emperor's mask grew increasingly distorted...
"Hehe...give up, Demon Emperor. This is the curse I've spent so many years perfecting just for you. It won't be so easy to dispel!"
The more she struggled, the more exhilarated he became, as if all the indignities suffered over the years were being avenged...
The woman bit her thin lips, staring at the Ghost Emperor and coldly demanded, "What exactly have you done to me? Without me, you alone would be absolutely incapable of contending against the forces of Shrek Academy!"
She panicked, for everything within the Holy Spirit Cult had been under her control from the beginning...
Yet now, such a drastic turn of events had occurred—she was cursed by the Ghost Emperor!
A cruel light gleamed in the Ghost Emperor's eyes as he stated coldly, "Rest assured, I won't kill you. After all, your strength is indispensable to the Holy Spirit Cult... But from now on, I will be the one in control of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Having said that, he released Soul Power, intensifying the curse's effect on the Demon Emperor...
Visibly, her eyes dimmed, and her whole being seemed to have lost its soul, devoid of vitality...
Then, she slowly crouched down, submitting before the Ghost Emperor...
At the same time, sensing the evil aura bursting forth here, the Title Douluo level Evil Soul Masters who had left earlier had all stepped back inside...
Witnessing the scene before them, they each spoke with respectful tones, "Congratulations, Sect Hierarch, on subduing the Demon Emperor. From now on, we shall all obey only you!"
"Under the leadership of the Sect Hierarch, our Holy Spirit Cult will surely grow even more rapidly and unify the entire Continent soon!"
"Indeed, we must destroy all the forces that stand in our way!"
The Ghost Emperor's icy gaze fixed on them, and without a hint of emotion, he stretched out his hand to stop them, "Enough, there's no need for such words!"
Despite how loyal these Evil Soul Masters seemed, if anything went wrong, they would certainly betray him without hesitation!
The survival of the fittest, that was the rule of the Holy Spirit Cult!
The Evil Soul Masters hesitated, no longer flattering...
Instead, they cautiously inquired, "Sect Hierarch, now that the Demon Emperor... this woman has been subdued by you, should we withdraw?"
"The Holy Spirit Cult is currently surrounded by the major forces. If we start a war forcefully, we fear severe losses! Years of effort would be wasted."
"In my opinion, it's better to withdraw. Whether in terms of high-end combat power or numbers, our Holy Spirit Cult is at a disadvantage! There's no need for a head-on clash."
After listening to these words, the Ghost Emperor replied indifferently, "No... why retreat? Why not take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the various powers? Wouldn't that be perfect?"
After speaking, his glance fell on the woman who was crouching before him in submission...
Just as she had said, it was easy to reconvert the lower-level Evil Soul Masters if they were lost!
Moreover, as long as the top fighters lived, the Holy Spirit Cult would not perish!
...
Elsewhere, the grand procession of carriages, protected by numerous soldiers, came to a halt...
The leading soldier announced, "We have now arrived at the imperial palace, everyone may disembark from the carriages!"
As his words fell, the Soul Masters exited their carriages and swiftly surveyed their surroundings...
"So this is the imperial palace, it's completely different from what I imagined!"
"Yes! I thought the imperial palace would be at most the size of an academy, but I never expected it to cover such a large area!"
"What should we do, we're about to enter the imperial palace and I'm so excited!"
"Calm down, calm down, it's just entering the imperial palace. Look at the students from Shrek Academy! Aren't they all very calm?"
"Nonsense, the students from Shrek Academy are all geniuses, with broad experience, but we're different!"
Little did they know that the students from Shrek Academy were merely not showing their amazement and excitement...
After staring for over a dozen seconds, Xie Xie took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This... is this the imperial palace of the Xingluo Empire, and even before entering, there's an invisible feeling of reverence!"
Xu Xiaoyan also agreed, saying, "Well, it is the imperial palace, after all, so it's definitely not that simple! For a moment, I really want to witness the national ceremony of the Xingluo Empire!"
Xu Lizhi muttered, "But Xiaoyan, didn't you say not so long ago that you didn't want to come..."
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue nodded together, affirming his words...
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan pouted and said, "Tch, that's called being cautious, okay? And besides, it's only because Teacher Shen made it sound so scary, with all the talk of beheading... It really was an exaggeration!"
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, "Oh? I was just telling the truth... Otherwise, why don't you try something at the national ceremony? Of course, if anything happens, don't come looking for me or Xu Sheng."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan deflated immediately...
With a grudge, she said, "Teacher Shen, is that something a teacher should say?"
While they were talking, soldiers had already entered the imperial palace to report...
...
Before long, they received permission, and all the Soul Masters entered the imperial palace in an orderly fashion...
Awaiting them, naturally, was the emperor himself, Dai Tianling...
At this moment, he was radiating an aura of solemnity and authority, commanding respect without even speaking...
As for the Daijin of the Xingluo Empire, they stood behind him...
Tang Wulin licked his lips, "So this is the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, huh? Just standing there, he exudes such a strong sense of oppression!"
Xie Xie pointed to one side and said, "Look, Teacher Xu is over there... and next to him, it seems to be the princess called Dai Yun'er."
Xu Xiaoyan widened her eyes, "Really, and it seems like they have a special relationship. Could it be... during this time in the imperial palace, Teacher Xu has been..."
Before she could finish, Shen Yi knocked her on the head and reprimanded, "Shut up, don't you realize the situation we're in right now?"
Meanwhile, Dai Tianling looked at everyone present and spoke, "On behalf of the entire Xingluo Empire, I, Dai Tianling, extend a warm welcome to all the guests from Soul Land!"
"Now, please follow me! The national ceremony of the Xingluo Empire will take place at another location!"
With that said, everyone followed Dai Tianling and the Daijin toward the venue of the national ceremony...
At that moment, feelings of excitement and anticipation were spreading among everyone's hearts, making them look forward to the upcoming national ceremony with great eagerness...
