Revised: Chapter 33825
The furious Xue Yuntian angrily smashed the communication device into pieces and roared, "Damn it, how dare you disrespect me like this!!"
As the emperor of a nation, when had he ever felt so humiliated!
Moreover, the other party was just a woman in her twenties!
The elderly man beside him hurriedly reminded him, "Your Majesty the Emperor, please stay calm. If we offend the Spirit Pagoda because of this, the Douling Empire might truly suffer an unprecedented blow!!"
Although the master of the Spirit Pagoda is very young, she is experienced. Her words just now made me break out in a cold sweat...
This signifies that the other party is definitely not joking!
Xue Yuntian suppressed his anger and replied irritably, "Of course I understand this! The current Douling Empire is still far from being able to challenge the Spirit Pagoda!"
But sooner or later, I will make the forces of Soul Land and the Xingluo Empire tremble in fear because of Douling Empire!!
The elderly man's eyes revealed a trace of displeasure, but he concealed it well...
"It's good that Your Majesty understands. I believe that the people from Spirit Pagoda will arrive at the Douling Empire shortly to retrieve the corpse of Sky Phoenix Douluo!"
"This matter must be taken seriously!"
Xue Yuntian gave a cold "hmph" and then stood up from the throne...
This action made the ministers below feel very puzzled...
The former did not mean to explain but instead said, "Now, it's time for you useless guys to contribute something!"
One of the ministers swallowed his throat, sensing that something was amiss, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty the Emperor, what do you mean by this??"
Xue Yuntian suddenly smiled, "What do I mean? Of course, I'm going to use you all to apologize to the master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Although Leng Yaozhu's death has nothing to do with the Douling Empire, she ultimately died here!"
After all, these ministers are just mediocre people. It's a good time to clean them up now!
The ministers finally understood his meaning, and their faces showed deep fear...
Your Majesty the Emperor intends to use their heads to appease the master of the Spirit Pagoda's anger!!
Xue Yuntian didn't give them any time for further words and said again, "Do it, leave no one!"
The elderly man beside him frowned, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this approach seems inappropriate. There's no need to sacrifice these ministers' lives because of such a matter!"
Since Xue Yuntian ascended the throne, more than a handful of ministers have died at his hands...
If this continues, he is feared to become a tyrant in the eyes of the people!
Even though everything he does is for the Douling Empire!
Xue Yuntian sat back on the throne, resting his chin, and said, "I was just joking. Using their heads can't calm the master of the Spirit Pagoda's anger!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief...
Immediately, they cast grateful glances at the elderly man...
If it weren't for him stopping it in time, the emperor might indeed have intended to take their lives!!!
...
Little did they know, hovering above the Douling Empire, the Ghost Emperor was looking down...
He then showed a sinister smile...
"It seems there are no more troublesome people around. So, let the entire Douling Empire be consumed by my power!!"
In plain sight, he mixed his blood-red Divine Power into the air and spread it throughout the Douling Empire...
This approach won't immediately turn the weak soul masters into evil soul masters...
Instead, it will accumulate in their bodies, and when they reach their limit, their mind and soul will be affected, turning them into complete evil soul masters!!
After all, transforming soul masters into evil soul masters on such a large scale isn't something that even someone who just broke through to God Rank can easily do!!
...
Xingluo Empire, Imperial Palace Great Hall!
A man responsible for delivering messages suddenly rushed in, knelt, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Tutor seeks an audience!"
Dai Yueyan, who was writing something, immediately stopped his actions and said happily, "Quickly invite the Imperial Tutor in!"
Soon, En Ci, with a serious expression, walked in...
Seeing this, Dai Yueyan felt a bit puzzled but still invited, "Imperial Tutor, please sit..."
En Ci hesitated but eventually sat down...
Dai Yueyan then continued, "Imperial Tutor, I already know the situation. The campaign against the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters was very successful. Although some escaped, they pose no threat!"
Upon hearing this, En Ci paused and asked, "Does Your Majesty the Emperor think so?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yueyan's eyebrows furrowed, "Imperial Tutor, what do you mean?"
He should be delighted about successfully annihilating the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, but from En Ci's expression since entering the hall, it was clear that something wasn't right!
Even he could sense it...
En Ci pressed his lips together and decided to be direct...
"Your Majesty, I'll be straightforward. This campaign against the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters was actually a failure."
Dai Yueyan was increasingly confused, "Imperial Tutor, what do you...
Before he could finish, En Ci interrupted, "Your Majesty, please listen to me first!"
"This time, although the Xingluo Empire's army found their headquarters, by the time we arrived, the evil soul masters had already moved out, leaving behind only an empty shell filled with traps!"
"In other words, not a single evil soul master was killed throughout the entire operation!"
"The reason for publicly announcing the successful annihilation of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters is something I'm sure you can guess."
At this moment, Dai Yueyan fell silent...
He could naturally guess that the reason was nothing other than to stabilize the people's hearts in the Xingluo Empire!
After calming himself, he asked again, "So, the Holy Spirit Cult is still hidden within the Xingluo Empire?"
En Ci truthfully shared his judgment, "I suspect the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult have returned to the Soul Land Continent!"
Otherwise, with such a large-scale move, it would have been impossible to escape the Xingluo Empire army's encirclement!
Dai Yueyan nodded, "I understand. Still, thank you for your hard work, Imperial Tutor!"
En Ci shook his head, "I only failed Your Majesty's expectations!"
Dai Yueyan denied, "No, as long as the Holy Spirit Cult cannot harm the Xingluo Empire, that's enough."
As for the Soul Land, it...is beyond his control!
...
About to arrive at the Federation Headquarters, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but warn Gu Yuena beside her, "Gu Yue, be very careful, Shrek Academy and the Federation people are not easy to deal with!"
Moreover, not long ago, the Spirit Pagoda had many unpleasant encounters with them!
Gu Yuena nodded understandingly, "I understand, teacher!"
Then she looked at the Spirit Pagoda Members behind her and commanded, "You will wait here!"
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Pagoda Master!"
Gu Yuena then walked ahead with Leng Yaozhu towards the building...
Before they could say anything, the two Federation Members guarding the entrance bowed and said, "My Lords, the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion and Council Members are waiting on the top floor…"
Gu Yuena showed some surprise but calmly replied, "Lead the way!"
