Chapter 1611: Breakthrough (Please Subscribe)_1

Chen Xinjie suggested, "How about we go to Shrek Academy to check on this Gu Yue?"

Guan Yue responded with a bitter smile, "Even if I went, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion probably wouldn't agree!"

After a pause, he added with a meaningful tone, "However, if you, Hall Master, were to go in person, it should be possible!"

After all, the former was very close to Long Yeyue in his younger days, so acquiring information about a student should not be too difficult!

Hearing this, Chen Xinjie fell into silence...

After a long while, he sighed, "Let's forget it; there's no need to expend such great effort for a girl."

If it weren't for that person who had stepped in before him, perhaps Long Yeyue would already be his wife by now...

Seeing Chen Xinjie's expression becoming very sorrowful, Guan Yue did not press further but changed the subject, "Hall Master, regarding the Holy Spirit Cult's move to Xingluo Land, do we need to do anything?"

The threat of the Holy Spirit Cult wasn't just to Xingluo Land; once it regrouped there, it was likely to counterattack immediately...

And by then, the threat it posed would be far greater than at present!

Chen Xinjie didn't respond but counter-questioned, "Guan Yue, I recall the royal household of the Xingluo Empire sought our help a few months ago, didn't they?"

Guan Yue nodded and explained, "Yes, but I have not yet given a response."

Chen Xinjie stroked his chin in thought and said, "In that case, let's have two War Gods, along with some disciples of the War God Hall, head to the Xingluo Empire first."

"This is the greatest extent of help our War God Hall can offer!"

After all, the War God Hall was a vast power, and each War God was extremely important!

Guan Yue pressed his lips together, "Understood, Hall Master! I will arrange it right away. Also, about the matter just now, I didn't mean to..."

Chen Xinjie put on a forced smile and waved his hand, "It's alright, those are just old stories from the past!"

But was that really the case?

Of course not. Even now, he was still filled with admiration for Long Yeyue...

Unfortunately, her partner had fallen many years ago, leaving no chance for him...

...

Xingluo Empire!

The atmosphere in the grand hall of the royal palace was somewhat tense...

The ministers below were berating with angry voices, "The recent acts of the Holy Spirit Cult are simply too brazen, treating our Xingluo Empire like lambs to the slaughter!"

"That's right, attacks by evil Soul Masters have occurred in various places within the Xingluo Empire, and the situation is more severe than before!"

"If we don't take proper precautions against this, the civilians within our borders will surely be disappointed with the Xingluo Empire!"

"The cursed Holy Spirit Cult, if we don't eradicate them, there will never be peace in the Xingluo Empire!"

Hearing these words, Dai Tianling, seated on the throne, had a particularly volatile expression...

He said coldly, "Didn't I send you some time ago to seek aid from the forces of Douluo Continent? Why is there still no response to this day!"

The Messenger responsible for this matter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained, "Your Majesty, I swear on my life that Shrek Academy and some of the powers from Douluo Continent personally agreed to our request, but for some reason, they have yet to send powerful support!"

He could not possibly explain why this was happening!

This statement made Dai Tianling's expression turn even uglier...

Could it be that even Shrek Academy was unwilling to reach out and help the Xingluo Empire?

Seeing this, the ministers below closed their mouths, not daring to say any more...

Knowing that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't solve the current situation, Dai Tianling waved his hand and said, "You all, retreat!"

The senior officials exchanged glances and gradually left the hall...

It was only then that Dai Yun'er stepped forward and gently tapped Dai Tianling's back, soothingly saying, "Father, don't worry too much. Shrek Academy definitely won't stand by idly. Maybe something has delayed them."

"Besides, the two Ultimate Douluo from the royal household of Xingluo Empire have come out of seclusion, the Holy Spirit Cult can't do anything to us!"

Even though he knew those words were just to comfort him, Dai Tianling's expression eased a bit...

However, Dai Yueyan couldn't help but give a wry smile and said, "Sister, what Father is worried about is not the Holy Spirit Cult taking action against our royal family, but the safety of the civilians within the Xingluo Empire!"

"If we allow the Holy Spirit Cult to slaughter at will, it will affect our royal household's control over the Xingluo Continent! There might even be uprisings!"

Hearing this, Dai Tianling's gaze showed a trace of gratification, "Yue Yan... you've grown up!"

Dai Yueyan said softly, "It's all thanks to Father's guidance!"

Dai Yun'er, however, pouted and said, "Hmph, if you understand so much, brother, why don't you share some of Father's burdens?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yueyan's mouth twitched as he said, "Sister, aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"

Although under Dai Tianling's meticulous guidance he was able to roughly analyze the current situation of the Xingluo Empire...

That was all he could do!

If even the former couldn't accomplish a task, how could he possibly do it?

Dai Tianling affectionately ruffled Dai Yun'er's hair and said gently, "Alright, the future Xingluo Empire will depend on both of you siblings, so stop bickering!"

After a pause, he continued, "Yue Yan, take Yun'er out with you. I want to be alone for a while!"

Dai Yueyan naturally didn't dare to disobey and nodded, "Yes, Father!"

...

Shrek Academy, outside the courtyard...

One could see Wu Siduo, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly emitting a strong shockwave, and her soul power fluctuation began to change

Tang Wulin and others who were cultivating nearby felt the unusual disturbance and stopped in unison...

Xie Xie inhaled sharply and said enviously, "Looks like Wu Siduo is about to make another breakthrough, does she have to be such a freak?"

Xu Xiaoyan also muttered, "I recall she just broke through to level 59 not long ago. With this breakthrough, she's probably going to advance to Soul Emperor!"

Ye Xinglan curiously said, "Could it be that the recent duel with Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu under pressure is what's giving Wu Siduo such an improvement? Why don't we have such luck!"

Xu Lizhi agreed, "Exactly, exactly. We're all cultivating together, yet the pace is worlds apart—of course, compared to Wulin, we're all a bit quicker, hehe!"

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes and said in annoyance, "Lizhi, is that even something you should say?"

At the moment, his soul power rank was still the lowest among everyone present!

Gu Yue's brows slightly furrowed as she reminded, "Shh, everyone quiet down a bit, don't disturb Wu Siduo's breakthrough!"

Just as she finished speaking, Wu Siduo's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful face showed an expression of pain...

At that moment, she felt as if her body was being battered by the surging Soul Power inside...

Each collision caused her a pain that felt like her skin and muscles were being torn apart...
