บท 2032: Chapter 1986: Arrival of the Evil Soul Master (Please Subscribe)_1

Several days later, members of the Xingluo Empire smoothly departed from the Douling Empire…

At this time, the ministers remembered the team they had send to the Spirit Pagoda not long ago…

One of the ministers took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that our Messenger team has arrived at the Spirit Pagoda several days ago without sending back any news. Could it be that they've met with an accident?"

Another minister echoed, "Hmm… it's indeed very possible. Could the Spirit Pagoda have been provoked into anger and detained them?"

"Impossible, where would the Spirit Pagoda get the guts to challenge our Douling Empire? Moreover, they have no evidence!"

"That cannot be said for certain. If the Spirit Pagoda resorted to torture, those soldiers and Messengers might confess the truth under the pain!"

"What's the worry? If they torture, we just have to deny everything. The Spirit Pagoda will still have no way to proceed, and we might even use this to reprimand them!"

Sitting on the throne, Xue Yuntian's mood, originally lifted by the profits earned from the Xingluo Empire, became serious again after hearing the discussion…

He said gravely, "The ministers make a strong point. It is indeed strange that our Messenger team has not responded for so long!"

Another minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should still send someone to stealthily investigate the Spirit Pagoda! If nothing is amiss, they ought to be in prison!!"

Xue Yuntian nodded slightly and said coldly, "Good, let's do that. If they've really been imprisoned by the Spirit Pagoda and can't be released amicably, then deal with them in secret!"

The only ones who can keep a secret, are the dead!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

…

Border of Soul Land!

Numerous black-robed figures disembarked from several Giant Wheel ships at the docks!

Every one of them exuded an evil aura, unmistakably identifying them as Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult!

The one standing at the forefront, a guest elder who was a Hyper Douluo, swept his cold gaze over the Evil Soul Masters below and commanded, "According to the Sect Hierarch's orders, after reaching Soul Land, we are to rendezvous with the Blood God Army!"

However, the attention of these Evil Soul Masters was not on him but rather urgently discussing amongst themselves…

"Finally back to Soul Land. This time, we must let all Soul Masters know the terror of our Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Yes, it's been so long since I've experienced the thrill of slaughtering Soul Masters. It seems there's a border city of Soul Land just ahead; why don't we attack there?"

"No problem, I want to slowly pull out their tendons one by one and torment them to death, hahahaha!"

The guest elder's face turned even uglier, and he bellowed, "Shut your mouths! Until we rendezvous with the Sect Hierarch and destroy the Blood God Army, you are not allowed to launch attacks at will, or else, death!"

At the drop of his words, an immense pressure burst forth, instantly causing the Evil Soul Masters before him to feel a suffocating dread…

Only then did they snap out of their fantasies and closed their mouths…

Seeing this, the guest elder then reigned in his pressure and ordered coldly, "All of you, move out immediately, to the Blood God Army!!"

In an instant, like a swarm of wasps, all the Evil Soul Masters densely converged and marched toward the Blood God Army…

…

Blood God Army!

Tang Wulin jumped down from a Mecha and said, "Gu Yue, I lost."

Gu Yue also exited her Mecha, a light laugh in her voice, "Wulin, don't be disheartened. You're not skilled in Mecha combat, so it's normal to lose!"

Tang Wulin sighed, "That may be true, but I always feel like your control is very familiar, similar to an opponent I've met before!"

Hearing this sentence, Gu Yue's heart suddenly tightened, she hadn't expected that by merely agreeing to a mecha battle with Tang Wulin, she had aroused his suspicion...

Could it be that he recognized her during the mecha battle, and intentionally lost so miserably?

No, that's not right, she had never engaged in a mecha battle with Tang Wulin, it must be a coincidence!

Then, without changing her expression, she replied, "Really? There are only so many ways to operate a mecha, it's normal to find them familiar!"

Tang Wulin didn't dwell on it, scratching his head he said, "You have a point! Maybe I'm just too obsessed with being the champion of the mecha tournament!"

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flashed as she changed the subject, "Wulin, I want to ask you something, do you plan on staying in the Blood God Army indefinitely?"

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, giving an uncertain reply, "I guess so, after all, the abyss is always a great threat to the Human Plane."

"Once the seal on the creatures' bodies inside is released, it will bring about a huge disaster, and for this, I want to contribute my strength!"

Gu Yue nodded slightly, "I see..."

Tang Wulin asked back, "What about you, Gu Yue? By asking this, do you mean you're not planning to stay in the Blood God Army?"

He really hoped that she would join him in fighting against the abyssal creatures!

Gu Yue pursed her lips, "Well, I don't plan on staying here indefinitely, also, there's something, I'm not sure if I should tell you!"

Tang Wulin smiled gently, "If you want to say it, Gu Yue, then say it, if not, I won't ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets!"

Like Old Tang within him, which he had never told Gu Yue about!

Gu Yue's gaze rested on Tang Wulin for several seconds before she said with utmost seriousness, "Wulin, actually, I left a while ago to go to the Spirit Pagoda!"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin didn't show any surprise, but replied quite calmly, "I see, so you really joined the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yue!"

Gu Yue was slightly taken aback, "Wulin, you seem to have known about this already?"

Tang Wulin didn't hide anything, answering, "Yes, Teacher Xu told me a long time ago, but I only confirmed it today."

On hearing this, Gu Yue's mouth twitched a few times, "So that's how it is..."

To think all her efforts to keep it secret were in vain, and Teacher Xu had spilled the beans so long ago!

Who would have known that Tang Wulin's tone would shift, and he voiced his suspicion, "Since you've joined the Spirit Pagoda, then the one who defeated me in the Star Dou Battle Network mecha tournament wasn't you, was it, Gu Yue?"

Gu Yue paused for a moment, then replied without a hint of blush or heartbeat, "No! That was another Holy Spirit Messenger! I didn't participate in the mecha tournament."

Tang Wulin then breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted, patting his chest, "That's good! Otherwise, losing in front of you like that, I would've felt very embarrassed!"

Hearing this, Gu Yue still cast a sympathetic glance...

She never thought that her all-out effort would give Wulin a psychological shadow!

"Gu Yue, what's with that look, are you pitying me?" With his overly keen perception, Tang Wulin caught that moment!

Gu Yue waived her hand, "No... it's not that, I was just thinking it's getting late, let's go have dinner first!"

Since Wulin could accept her joining the Spirit Pagoda, the other things could be slowly revealed later!
