The Strength of an Evil Soul Master, Shaking the Continent!

Star Luo Imperial Palace, in the magnificent golden hall.

Many important ministers of the Star Luo Empire, as well as several honored guests, were gathered here.

Xu Jiawei sat high on the imperial throne.

His expression was extremely grim, his gaze fixed on those below.

The other important ministers also wore solemn expressions.

A moment later, a heroic and valiant female general strode in, cupping her hands and reporting to Xu Jiawei: "Your Majesty, I have searched the entire Imperial Palace inside and out, and found no trace of any outsiders..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The hall fell silent.

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

"I understand, you may go. Continue the investigation I assigned you earlier," Xu Jiawei waved his hand.

Hearing this, Luo Yun, the commander of the Imperial Guard among the ministers, suddenly felt guilty.

"Your Majesty, tonight's incident was my fault. It was because my soldiers and I were lax in our vigilance that those damned Evil Soul Masters had an opportunity..."

After the female general left, Luo Yun couldn't help but step forward first, saying with a face full of self-reproach: "This subject is willing to resign from the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard as atonement!"

"This subject is also willing to resign from the position of Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard as atonement!"

Immediately following, Jiang Hao, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, also hurriedly spoke.

Jiang Hao felt incredibly wronged at this moment. Nothing had happened during the previous period, yet this incident occurred on the day he was resting.

Wasn't this just screwing him over?

Being the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard was not an easy job. Even though it wasn't his shift today, he would still bear considerable responsibility.

Moreover, his direct superior, and also his mortal enemy, was cunning enough to step forward first.

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei's eyes flickered.

The attack that occurred tonight made him realize that there was a deep-seated traitor hidden by his side.

And two people were worthy of suspicion: Luo Yun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Jiang Hao, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

Who was the traitor?

These two could be considered his confidants, holding the positions of commander and deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

If even one of them had betrayed him, he didn't know who else he could trust in the entire Star Luo court!

It was precisely because of this that Xu Jiawei had the people of the Xu Clan, that is, the female general from just now, temporarily take over the Imperial Guard within the imperial palace.

Both Luo Yun and Jiang Hao were well aware of this, which led to the scene before them.

"Luo Yun, Jiang Hao, do you know that because of your negligence, the future hope of our Star Luo Empire almost met with an accident."

Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu said coldly, "And it has caused our Star Luo Empire to lose all face."

This was the first time the Imperial Palace had been so easily invaded by Evil Soul Masters.

How ironic was that!

It would be a laughingstock for people from other countries if word got out.

"Elder Huang, this is indeed our dereliction of duty."

Luo Yun secretly glanced at Jiang Hao, intending to drag him down with him to confuse the public and buy himself a sliver of hope, "We are willing to accept any punishment."

"..."

Jiang Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to stick to the plan.

His years of experience in the imperial court told him that the more he said at a time like this, the more mistakes he would make.

And since the attacker had not caused any casualties, no matter how serious the situation, it wouldn't be too bad, at most it would be a charge of dereliction of duty.

He had already prepared to lose his position as Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard; they wouldn't confiscate his family's property, would they!

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the hall.

The female general from before walked in again.

She bowed to Xu Jiawei on the imperial throne, and then said, "Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that Luo Yun, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, is secretly colluding with the Sun Moon Empire."

"Guards, arrest Luo Yun and interrogate him thoroughly."

Xu Jiawei ordered expressionlessly.

"..."

Seeing this, Luo Yun did not resist and accepted his fate.

Luo Yun had thought about escaping, but facing several Titled Douluo, there was no chance at all. If there were, he would have run long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

This scene made Jiang Hao dumbfounded.

His arch-nemesis was actually a spy for the Sun Moon Empire, and he fell so easily. This was too child's play!

The next day.

News of the Star Luo Imperial Palace being attacked last night instantly spread throughout the world.

In an instant, the entire continent was shaken.

Whether it was the major sects or the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, everyone was greatly surprised.

They never imagined that the Evil Soul Masters, who were like rats crossing the street, would dare to successfully infiltrate the Star Luo Imperial Palace to assassinate someone.

Only a few intelligent people knew clearly that such a thing was bound to happen sooner or later.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult in the future would be destroyed by that person.

There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

To put it in a nutshell, it was either you die or I die.

To conceal the secret of the Ultimate Emperor Armor, the Star Luo Empire proactively spread the information.

The five Evil Soul Masters who carried out the assassination were Titled Douluo, and their final outcome was one dead and four injured.

The ones who took action were the various enshrined experts of the Star Luo Empire.

To make the matter more convincing, the Star Luo Empire openly and secretly declared that the strongest among the enshrined experts, Azure Luan Douluo and Shattered Star Douluo, were also severely wounded as a result.

And that sun and the divine dragon coiling above it were a secret technique jointly released by two of the enshrined experts at the cost of their own lives.

Only then, with the assistance of the remaining enshrined experts, were the attacking Evil Soul Masters repelled.

Although the reason sounded a bit far-fetched, as long as the Star Luo Empire side stuck to it, who could question it!

This also made the nine enshrined experts feel very embarrassed; it was the first time they had falsely claimed credit.

As soon as this information was released.

In an instant, undercurrents surged throughout the continent.

All forces were astonished by the powerful strength possessed by the Holy Spirit Cult.

In just one assassination attempt, five Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters were dispatched, and it was only with the combined efforts of nine Titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire that the opponents were barely repelled.

The combat power of Evil Soul Masters was indeed far superior to ordinary Soul Masters, but it shouldn't be this outrageous.

In other words, the strength of the five Evil Soul Masters who carried out the assassination was terrifyingly strong, and there were definitely some Level 98 Super Douluo among them.

This was only the vanguard; no one knew what kind of assassination team they would send next.

Of course, regarding the information spread from within the Star Luo Empire, those from major powers naturally wouldn't believe whatever was said.

They all used various means to determine the reliability of this information.

Unfortunately, the only people who knew the specific details of this assassination were the nine enshrinements of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu, and the person involved, Gu Tian.

Besides them, there were Zhongli Wu and the other three Holy Spirit Cult members who escaped.

There was no need to mention the Star Luo Empire's side; they would certainly not leak any secrets.

As for the Holy Spirit Cult, they were all insane Evil Soul Masters. Who would believe them?

Moreover, a Soul Grand Master who didn't even have three rings managed to kill one and make five Titled Douluo flee. Who would believe such a story if it were told?

If Xu Jiawei and the others hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it either.
