And Halosa, who was watching this scene intently, frowned slightly, "She actually broke through to Ultimate Douluo after this return, but according to the aura I felt before, she would need at least a few years to achieve such a breakthrough!"
During these missing days, what exactly did Nanali do?
Because his expression was too astonished, he had already attracted the attention of the Ghost Emperor, "Vice Sect Hierarch, you look quite pale. Are you pondering something?"
Halosa tried to compose himself, shaking his head, "No...nothing. It's just that Nanali's breakthrough came so unexpectedly fast, it has disrupted the plans I previously laid out!"
The Ghost Emperor was momentarily stunned and then coldly said, "Hmph...speaking of your plans, why is the emperor of the Xingluo Empire still perfectly fine?"
If he remembered correctly, he had urged the other to make a move long ago!
Seeing this, Halosa explained, "Sect Hierarch, that's because there are two Ultimate Douluo protecting Dai Tianling, making it very difficult to find an opportunity for assassination!"
After the assassination attempt failed, the entire royal household of Xingluo Empire strengthened their defense, making it very hard to find another such opportunity!
Just then, Leng Yulai stepped forward and said with an unchanged expression, "Sect Hierarch, please entrust me with the task of assassinating the emperor of the Xingluo Empire."
The Ghost Emperor gave him a sceptical look, "You? The protection of Dai Tianling is handled by Ultimate Douluo. Are you confident?"
If they were to lose another high-level combatant, the overall strength of the Holy Spirit Cult would regress by years!
There were many Title Douluo-level evil Soul Masters, but Hyper Douluo and Ultimate Douluo were very few!
Not knowing if it was intentional or not, Nanali followed, "Sect Hierarch, let me go instead. Even if I don't succeed, I can still escape unscathed!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai's gaze, filled with murderous intent, stared fixedly at her as he clenched his fists and said, "Nanali!!"
She desperately wanted to tear her opponent to shreds, but knowing that her power now was far greater than her own, acting rashly would only lead to defeat!
She had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill!
The Ghost Emperor nodded slightly, "Good, this assassination mission on the emperor of Xingluo Empire will be yours. Don't end up useless like the Vice Sect Hierarch!"
After speaking, his cold eyes swept over Halosa...
Nanali immediately responded, "Yes, Sect Hierarch!"
After leaving, Halosa once again couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and roared, "Damn it!! Does that guy really think I'm his servant?"
In terms of strength, he was not inferior to the Ghost Emperor at all!
The only thing he feared was the other's sinister and despicable tactics—the controlled Demon Emperor was a prime example!
With this thought, he approached several of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters, "Have the evil Soul Masters who were sent to pick Immortal Herbs at the Icefire Polarized Eyes sent back any news?"
The evil Soul Masters looked at each other, then said in unison, "Vice Sect Hierarch!"
Halosa waved his hand, "Save it, just answer my question!"
One of the evil Soul Masters said anxiously, "Returning to the Vice Sect Hierarch, we've lost contact with those evil Soul Masters! It seems they were attacked!"
"That's right, this kind of situation has never happened before; it's likely that they encountered an attack from another power!"
"The specific time seems to be after Lord of Dark Bell left!"
This sentence caused Halosa's profound eyes to flicker briefly, "After Nanali left? Could it be... she's the one causing trouble?"
If that's indeed the case, then it could explain why she was able to break through to Ultimate Douluo years in advance!
Another cautious evil Soul Master inquired, "Well...Vice Sect Hierarch, should we continue targeting the Icefire Polarized Eyes?"
Halosa spoke coldly, "No need, we just have to know the exact location. When our Holy Spirit Cult launches a counterattack against Soul Land, we can then claim it as our own!"
By then, after consuming the Immortal Herbs, my strength will definitely surpass that of the Ghost Emperor!
...
Tang Wulin looked at the two affectionate couples and couldn't help but say, "Um, I hate to interrupt your moment, but it seems like now is not the time to talk about this!"
Okay, he admitted that doing so was partly due to his personal grievances...
After all, among the Shrek Seven Monsters, they all had partners except for him, which was the most awkward situation...
His words immediately earned the sharp gazes of the four individuals, making him feel rather uncomfortable all over!
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow and said, "Wulin, don't tell me you're feeling jealous because Gu Yue isn't by your side?"
Yue Zhengyu nodded in agreement, "Exactly, exactly, all of us Shrek Seven Monsters have someone we like, except for you..."
Xu Xiaoyan pinched his arm on the side as a reminder, "Enough, can't you see Wulin's face is not looking right?"
Tang Wulin shook his head slightly and sighed, "It's okay, what Yue Zhengyu said is true, I indeed haven't seen Gu Yue for a long time, and I miss her a bit!"
Who knew what Gu Yue was up to inside the Spirit Pagoda?
Could it be that she would never return to Shrek Academy again?
Just then, Ye Xinglan suddenly spoke up with an urgent tone, "Teacher Wu's aura is getting weaker again, Lizhi, quick! Recovery Big Meat Bun!!"
Xu Lizhi, who was always prepared, quickly passed the Recovery Big Meat Bun over...
After feeding it to Wu Changkong, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief...
If it weren't for constantly using the Recovery Big Meat Buns to sustain Wu Changkong's life, I'm afraid his heart would have already stopped beating!!
The sound just now obviously drew everyone's attention...
Only then did Yue Zhengyu, who found Wu Changkong, say in astonishment, "Wait... Is this... Teacher Wu? How did he become like this?"
Yuanen Yehui's expression became grave, "How tragic, the lost limbs look like they were forcibly blown off, it's hard to imagine what kind of pain Teacher Wu has endured!"
At that moment, Tang Wulin's expression gradually became solemn, "Everyone, using the Recovery Big Meat Bun to sustain Teacher Wu's life is not practical. So, please carefully search for some gentler Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Polarized Eyes, to see if we can stabilize Teacher Wu's condition!"
"Xing Lan and Lizhi, you two are responsible for monitoring Teacher Wu's status, to prevent any accidents!"
Nobody knew whether there were any dangers hidden within the Icefire Polarized Eyes!
Everyone nodded slightly and answered, "Yes!"
They then began to search within the Icefire Polarized Eyes...
Xie Xie was the first to notice a plant emitting a deep red halo. As his face approached it, he felt as if he was being drawn towards it and silently swallowed saliva...
He then subconsciously reached out to pluck it...
Yuanen Yehui saw this and immediately grabbed his arm, shouting coldly, "Don't touch! That Immortal Herb is extremely dangerous, it actively charms Soul Masters and soul beasts to consume it, and once eaten, it becomes parasitic!"
Xie Xie was jolted back to his senses, his eyes gradually regaining their clarity. After retreating a step, he said with lingering fear, "This thing actually tried to seduce me!! Luckily I didn't eat it, pah!"
