章節 1869: Chapter 18012: The Awakening of the Ferocious Beast (Subscribe Please)_1

Halosa's brows furrowed slightly as he watched the scene unfold, "She broke through to become an Ultimate Douluo upon her return, but based on what I felt from her before, she would have needed several years to achieve that breakthrough!"

What exactly did Nanali do during the days she was gone?

His overly stunned expression had caught the attention of the Ghost Emperor. "Vice Sect Hierarch, you look troubled. Are you thinking about something?"

Halosa tried his best to appear calm and shook his head, "No... nothing much. I just didn't expect Nanali to make her breakthrough so swiftly. It disrupted the plans I had previously laid out!"

The Ghost Emperor paused, then said icily, "Hmph... speaking of your plans, why is the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire still alive and well?"

If he remembered correctly, he had urged the other to take action a long time ago!

Seeing this, Halosa explained, "Sect Hierarch, that's because there are two Ultimate Douluo guarding Dai Tianling. It's very difficult to find an opportunity for assassination!"

After the failure of the assassination attempt, the entire Royal family of Xingluo Empire had strengthened their defenses. Finding another opportunity like that was extremely hard!

At that moment, Leng Yulai stepped forward and, without changing his expression, said, "Sect Hierarch, leave the task of assassinating the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire to me."

The Ghost Emperor looked at him skeptically, "You? The one protecting Dai Tianling is an 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 evil Soul Masters at the Title Douluo level, but Hyper Douluo and Ultimate Douluo were very few!

Nanali, perhaps deliberately targeting Leng Yulai, also said, "Sect Hierarch, let me do it. Even if I don't succeed, I can escape safely without any issue."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai fixed a murderous glare on her, clenching his fist and said, "Nanali!!"

She would have liked nothing more than to tear the other apart, but recalling that her current strength was far inferior, acting rashly would only result in her own loss.

So she had no choice but to swallow this grievance silently!

The Ghost Emperor nodded slightly, "Fine. I'll entrust you with the task of assassinating the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire. Don't be as useless as the Vice Sect Hierarch!"

After speaking, he shot an icy glance at Halosa...

Without hesitation, Nanali responded, "Yes, Sect Hierarch!"

...

After leaving, Halosa could no longer hold back his rage and bellowed, "Damn it!! Does that guy really take me for his servant?"

In terms of strength, he was in no way inferior to the Ghost Emperor!!

What he truly dreaded was the other's vicious and despicable methods; the controlled Demon Emperor was a prime example!

With that thought, he approached several evil Soul Masters within the Holy Spirit Cult, "Have the evil Soul Masters who were sent to harvest Immortal Herbs at the Icefire Polarized Eyes sent back any messages?"

Upon hearing this, the evil Soul Masters looked at one another before saying in unison, "Vice Sect Hierarch!"

Halosa waved his hand dismissively, "No more nonsense, answer my question!"

One of the evil Soul Masters spoke with trepidation, "Vice Sect Hierarch, we've lost contact with those evil Soul Masters! It seems like they've been attacked!"

"That's right, we've never encountered such a situation before. It's most likely an assault from another force!"

"The specific timing seems to be after Lord of Dark Bell left."

This sentence made Halosa's deep eyes flicker slightly, "After Nanali left? Could it be... she had a hand in this?"

If that was indeed the case, it would also explain how she managed to break through to become an Ultimate Douluo several years ahead of schedule!

The most recent evil Soul Master cautiously asked, "That... Vice Sect Hierarch, the Icefire Polarized Eyes, do we continue to act?"

Halosa coldly said, "No need, as long as we know their exact location, that will suffice. When our Holy Spirit Cult mounts a counter-offensive on Soul Land, we'll take them for our own!"

By then, having consumed Immortal Herbs, my strength will surely surpass that of the Ghost Emperor!

...

On the other side, Yue Zhengyu and the others had also successfully absorbed the Immortal Herbs, with the powerful medicinal effects breaking through several soul power ranks for each person!

Lots of people reached the bottleneck of Soul Emperor, only lacking the absorption of a Spirit Soul!

Yue Zhengyu stood up, took a deep breath, and exclaimed loudly, "This is so exhilarating, if we could keep cultivating with Immortal Herbs, it wouldn't take long for our soul power rank to surge to the Title Douluo, right?"

Ye Xinglan rolled her eyes and interrupted his fantasy, "Don't dream! Immortal Herbs generally only have a significant soul power rank increase the first time they're consumed. With repeated use, the benefits greatly diminish!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "That's right, moreover, the effects of two Immortal Herbs might just blow up our bodies!"

Xie Xie quirked the corner of his mouth, "Regardless, we have to thank Wulin for knowing the effects of these Immortal Herbs, otherwise, we wouldn't have dared to consume them with such peace of mind!"

Xu Lizhi gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Mhm, all thanks to Wulin's effort!"

Tang Wulin said with a sheepish smile, "You're all too kind, it was Teacher Xu who is knowledgeable and insightful!!"

At this moment, the Icefire Polarized Eyes suddenly released several terrifying auras...

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted sharply, as he turned to Wu Changkong and said, "Teacher Wu, do you feel that? Something seems to have awakened inside the Icefire Polarized Eyes!"

Wu Changkong nodded slightly, his expression gradually became serious...

Yuanen Yehui covered her chest with her hand, "Such a terrifying oppressive force, although not as strong as the one we faced from Lord of Dark Bell, it still makes my heart thump wildly!"

Yue Zhengyu suggested, "Perhaps we should take this chance to leave, to avoid any more complications!"

But Xu Xiaoyan was full of curiosity, "Leave? Why should we? Haven't all the evil Soul Masters been slain? Where is this powerful aura coming from?"

Meanwhile, the six Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Polarized Eyes suddenly burst forth with blinding light...

Right before everyone's eyes, they transformed into human forms!

Upon seeing this, Wu Changkong immediately took a defensive stance in front of everyone and warned, "Be careful everyone, the ferocious beast guardians of the Icefire Polarized Eyes have awakened!"

The six humanoid ferocious beasts scanned Tang Wulin and the others with their gaze...

The man in purple robes spoke first, "We didn't expect that while we were slumbering, intruders would come and turn the Icefire Polarized Eyes into such a state!"

His words were steeped in thick anger...

Wu Changkong swallowed nervously and said with a fist salute, "Honored predecessors, we are members of the Tang Sect, coming here to exterminate the evil Soul Masters that have occupied this place."

The woman in a red dress sensed around her and confirmed, "Indeed, there are remnants of the evil Soul Masters' aura."

Upon hearing this, the man in purple squinted his eyes and said, "Since you are here to wipe out the evil Soul Masters, why does every one of you have the scent of Immortal Herbs in your bodies?!"

"Could it be that you used the excuse of exterminating evil Soul Masters as a means to secretly steal Immortal Herbs? Tang Sect, we trusted you unwarrantedly!"
