Chapter 1549 The Xingluo Land Exchange Competition Begins (Subscription Request)_1
On the other side, a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Harosa's cheeks were covered in frost, her cold gaze fixed on the Dark Blood Devil and his companions...
"To have deployed so many evil Soul Masters to guard the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, only to have her rescued by an unknown person, you are all truly useless!"
With this, they had lost their bargaining chip to threaten His Majesty the Emperor, Dai Tianling, of the Xingluo Empire!
The Dark Blood Devil hung his head and gritted his teeth, "Vice Hall Master, by the time we arrived, the Princess of the Xingluo Empire had already been rescued!"
Nanali spoke in a deep voice, "That's right! Moreover, according to the evil Soul Masters who were on the brink of death, the one who rescued the princess was a man, who killed all of them with just a single move!"
"Therefore, I suspect this man is likely Xu Sheng from the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Leng Yulai's pupils shrank sharply, "Xu Sheng of the Sea God's Pavilion? Could it be that very person whom even the Demon Emperor fears?"
She vaguely remembered the response she received from the Demon Emperor when she suggested assassinating that man!
If they acted rashly, not only she but the entire Holy Spirit Cult could be annihilated as a result!
Nanali nodded her head and continued, "That's right, it's him. It is said that he is responsible for leading Shrek Academy's team to participate in the exchange tournament of the Xingluo Empire!"
Hearing these words, Harosa's expression softened slightly, "If that's really the case... There's nothing that can be done about the Princess of the Xingluo Empire being rescued."
If that man was determined to rescue the princess, even if all the powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult were to guard her, it wouldn't have made any difference!
Nanali took a deep breath, "The key point is the upcoming exchange tournament, Xu Sheng might be participating in it as well. Vice Sect Hierarch, shall we still launch an attack then?"
Upon these words, the entire space fell into silence...
They did not know whether that man would take action; if they recklessly launched an attack, they might receive a devastating blow!
After a while, it was still Harosa who pursed her lips and said, "We should first seek the Demon Emperor's opinion on this matter!"
But when he dialed the number, the one who answered was the Ghost Emperor, clad in a black robe!
A few traces of astonishment crossed Harosa's face, "Sect Hierarch... why are you the one answering the call?"
This call was clearly meant for the Demon Emperor! Why was it the Sect Hierarch who answered?
The Ghost Emperor's crimson eyes stared intently at Harosa, his voice cold, "The Demon Emperor is resting. If you have something to report, just tell me!"
The Demon Emperor?
Heh... now nothing more than a pawn at his disposal!
Harosa frowned but still spoke, "Sect Hierarch, the situation is this..."
After he explained everything, the Ghost Emperor's eyes flickered, "Xu Sheng is indeed a troublesome person, but he won't interfere with us!"
Hearing these confident words, Harosa asked in puzzlement, "Sect Hierarch, if I may be so bold to ask, why are you so certain?"
The Ghost Emperor glanced at him, replied indifferently, "You do not need to know, just do as I say!"
With that, the call was cut off...
Harosa turned to look at the Dark Blood Devil and the others, his face somber, "You all heard it just now, everything proceeds as originally planned!"
What exactly had happened at the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, how could the Demon Emperor so easily leave such a decision to the Sect Hierarch?
Could it be...
A terrifying thought had surfaced in his mind...
But realizing how slim that possibility was, he chose to put it out of his mind...
Perhaps, he was just overthinking!
…
The next day!
The Continental Exchange Event had finally arrived!
All the participants, including His Majesty the Emperor Dai Tianling and various Daijins, had arrived at the venue that had been set up in advance!
Visibly, the entire venue was several kilometers in length and width, amply accommodating everyone!
At the center of the venue, there were three buildings resembling arenas!
These were the Soul Guidance Device Area, Forging Area, and Soul Master Combat Area!
Clearly, for convenience, the three types of competitions would be held simultaneously!
Many of the participating students were seen saying with excitement on their faces, "The exchange competition is finally starting! I really can't wait!"
"That's right, the overall strength of the teams in the exchange competition is much stronger than those in the Youth Soul Master competition!!"
"What's there to fear, we have been training for so long just for today's exchange competition. We absolutely can't let the academy down!"
Tang Wulin's eyes were also filled with fervor, "It seems this exchange competition is going to be held here. I thought it would be held at a venue similar to the Youth Soul Master competition!"
Gu Yue spoke indifferently, "It's probably held inside the imperial palace for safety considerations, since all the participants are potential students from major powers!"
Xie Xie clenched his fists, "It doesn't matter which venue the competition is held in, after all, we are here for the championship!"
Xu Xiaoyan spoke earnestly, "Although that's the case, the overall strength of the teams participating in the exchange competition is much higher than that of the Youth Soul Master competition. I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle!"
Wu Siduo's mouth curled slightly, "That's what makes it more interesting. Fighting against the weak brings no improvement at all!"
As for winning the championship and the so-called prizes, she didn't care at all!
As long as she could improve her strength by a fraction through this exchange competition, that would be enough!
However, just as everyone was talking, Pan Wen spoke up, "Everyone quiet down, next, please welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire to deliver a speech for the normal conduct of this exchange competition! Let's welcome him with applause!"
In an instant, the entire imperial palace erupted with thunderous applause...
Seeing this, Dai Tianling stood up with a serious face and spoke earnestly, "The exchange competition has always been dedicated to allowing Soul Masters from different continents to understand each other and advance together."
"Thus, I hope the participants will prioritize friendship first and competition second, and fully display their true strength in the contests..."
"..."
"Furthermore, the team that wins the championship will receive a soul bone and precious materials! I declare, the Star Luo Empire's Exchange Competition is now officially open!"
As these words were spoken, loud horn sounds filled the imperial palace, proclaiming the start of the competition...
Pan Wen smiled slightly and continued, "Now, please have one representative from each team come up for the drawing of lots!"
For the sake of fairness, many large competitions adopted a lottery system to prevent any manipulation by the organizers!
Shen Yi glanced at Tang Wulin and said, "Tang Wulin, you go draw the lots."
Upon hearing these words, Tang Wulin's face turned strained, "Teacher Shen, please let Gu Yue go... My luck in drawing lots has always been very poor."
If they drew a strong team, wouldn't that directly expose their strength?
Shen Yi's gaze turned towards Gu Yue, who without a word, composed herself and walked up to the stage...
