Sun Moon Empire, Demonic Forest, Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

Bang!

A jade cup was instantly crushed into powder.

The one who crushed the cup was an old woman dressed in a black robe, exuding an aura of death. She had beautiful features and must have been an unparalleled beauty in her youth, but now her face was covered with wrinkles, making her look like a woman in her seventies or eighties.

However, the old woman's eyes were sharp, and she showed no trace of the kindness of an elderly person.

She is Ye Xishui, the Grand Elder the Holy Spirit Cult and the Death Douluo, a Limit Douluo who has lived for over two hundred years.

While both are Limit Douluo, if Mu En appears to be a kind old grandfather and Long Xiaoyao a rather pretentious old Daoist priest, then Ye Xishui is the embodiment of death.

In fact, at their level of cultivation, especially Ye Xishui, who became Limit Douluo at a young age, it is possible to maintain a youthful appearance. Moreover, unlike Mu En, she did not suffer from incurable serious injuries.

Ye Xishui didn't seem to care about her appearance, or perhaps she had been in too much contact with death, so she gradually became the old and frail woman she is today.

At this moment, sitting opposite her was Long Xiaoyao, while standing in front of her were Zhong Liwu, the Holy Spirit Cult Leader, and Feng Ling, the Vice Cult Master.

Zhong Liwu thought for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "Uncle Long, that Shrek Disciple named Zhou Huan, has he really become a god?"

A Shrek Disciple in his early twenties actually became Deity?

What does his two hundred years of cultivation amount to? He's still only a Level 98 Super Douluo.

Zhong Liwu found it hard to accept this fact, especially after Long Xiaoyao brought back news that Zhou Huan had forbidden the Holy Spirit Cult from leaving the Demonic Forest.

In other words, Zhou Huan already knew that the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult was in the Demonic Forest.

Thinking about it this way, Zhong Liwu broke out in a cold sweat, because if Zhou Huan wanted to, he could wipe them out with ease.

To Zhong Liwu's question, Long Xiaoyao could only reply calmly, "Regardless of whether he has become a god or not, I can't even withstand a single move from him. No, it should be said that I don't even have the slightest power to resist him. So, what's the point of you saying anything else?"

After a pause, Long Xiaoyao continued, "At least he didn't intend to wipe them out completely. From now on, the Holy Spirit Cult should just stay in the Demonic Forest and not go out again. Trying to reach the sunlight through the Sun Moon Empire is even more impossible."

Zhong Liwu was speechless upon hearing this, because in the face of absolute power, any schemes and tricks are useless, like a paper tiger that can be burned to ashes with a single fire.

However, unlike Zhong Liwu, who still tried to save his life in the face of insurmountable obstacles, Ye Xishui was clearly a crazy woman who didn't care about her life.

She, the mighty Death Douluo, who could be said to have roamed the continent for two hundred years, how could she be so intimidated by a mere twenty-something-year-old boy that she dared not leave the mountain?

In fact, Ye Xishui is a person with an extremely contradictory personality and completely distorted values.

On one hand, she hated the Holy Spirit Cult because the former Holy Spirit Cult Leader, Zhong Li Old Ghost, had controlled her since she was a child, and even later took possession of her, causing her to give birth to Zhong Liwu.

On the other hand, Ye Xishui has also cultivated Zhong Liwu into a second Zhong Li Old Ghost. Over the years, he has not only been relentlessly manipulating Long Xiaoyao, but also wanted to promote the Holy Spirit Cult and truly bring it to the stage of history.

It can be said that Ye Xishui's actions and thoughts are completely those of a mentally ill person and are incomprehensible.

It's quite possible that Ye Xishui herself doesn't even know what she truly wants, especially considering that if things had followed the original trajectory, this Death Douluo would have foolishly walked into Xu Tianran's trap just to test whether Long Xiaoyao truly loved her.

The result, of course, was that the person who courted death really did die.

So how could Ye Xishui, a mentally ill patient, possibly be too afraid to move just because of a single sentence from Zhou Huan?

Moreover, she is extremely angry right now.

Ye Xishui spoke as if it were the Grim Reaper: "Hmph! You brat, so what if you become a god? Doesn't our Holy Spirit Cult have a god?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liwu frowned. "Mother, are you referring to the Demon Empress?"

Zhong Liwu knew that the Demon Empress had been cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, but the person who had been in contact with the Demon Empress was always the Grand Elder, who was his mother's man.

Therefore, Zhong Liwu did not fully understand the matter of the Demon Empress, but he knew that the Demon Empress was very powerful, and that the Demon Empress could at least deal with his mother and Long Xiaoyao at the same time.

But Zhong Liwu didn't believe that the Demon Empress was a Deity. What Deity would need to secretly cooperate with their Holy Spirit Cult?

However, Ye Xishui sneered and said, "Of course not the Demon Empress. What is the Demon Empress? She is at most a Half-god, how could she be considered a true god?"

Now, Zhong Liwu was even more puzzled. "What is Mother talking about?" He had lived in the Holy Spirit Cult for over two hundred years, how could he not know that they had a god?

Ye Xishui glanced at Zhong Liwu and asked expressionlessly, "Do you know the origin of the word 'Holy Spirit' in the Holy Spirit Cult Sect?"

Zhong Liwu: "..." Isn't this just a religious name? What other origin could it have? Aren't the so-called Holy Spirit Holy Son and Holy Spirit Saintess just used to deceive Disciple, making them cultivate desperately while also enhancing the core competitiveness of the sect? It's just a slogan.

Before Zhong Liwu could ask any more questions, Ye Xishui explained herself, "'Holy Spirit' comes from the Holy Spirit Great Emperor, but during the Great Emperor's era, the Holy Spirit Great Emperor was usually also called the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor. And the Demon Emperor is the god of the Holy Spirit Cult, a true god."

Suddenly, Feng Ling asked, "Mother, when was the Great Emperor's era?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui's previously sinister tone suddenly paused. "... That's not important."

After a moment of silence, Ye Xishui continued, "The important thing is that we can awaken the Demon Emperor..."

Before Ye Xishui could finish speaking, Long Xiaoyao interrupted her, "No, what kind of normal god can be called the Demon Emperor? Who knows if you'll be the first to suffer the backlash after you awaken Him?"

However, Ye Xishui smiled coldly, "So what if there's a backlash? The Holy Spirit Cult has been a rat for so many years, do you want to continue being one? Before, we could rely on the Sun Moon Empire to slowly make our way, but now that Shrek has a god, the road is blocked, and we have no choice but to take a gamble."

Long Xiaoyao looked conflicted, but finally said, "Can't we just live in the Demonic Forest and not go out?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui immediately burst into wild laughter. "Hahaha! Long Xiaoyao, when did you become such a coward? Are you still the renowned Dark Sacred Dragon, Dragon Emperor Douluo? Don't make me look down on you!"

Long Xiaoyao was so angry he couldn't speak, "I..."

Seeing this, Zhong Liwu immediately changed the subject. "Mother, how can we awaken the Demon Emperor?"

As a Sect Master and a son, Zhong Liwu was quite astute. He didn't care whether Long Xiaoyao lived or died, but he couldn't afford for Long Xiaoyao to have a rift with his mother, as she still needed him.

Upon hearing Zhong Liwu's question, Ye Xishui ignored Long Xiaoyao and continued, "The reason why the Holy Spirit Great Emperor is called the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor is because he became an emperor with demon blood. The emperors of that time were actually the gods of today. What were called demons in the past are actually the Soul Beast of today."

Zhong Liwu's eyes lit up. "So we..."

Ye Xishui nodded. "Aren't there many Soul Beasts in this Demonic Forest? And there's the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, a Ferocious Beast that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years."
