Heaven Dou Empire hinterland, the former Balak Kingdom border, on the ruins of the Evil Soul Master stronghold that had just been "Purification".
In the center of the ruins, Ye Qingning gasped slightly and retracted the pair of white wings behind his back that had solidified a lot and exuded a warm and sacred light.
The white dress on her body was stained with some stains, but her blue eyes were brighter and firmer than a few months ago, and even had a hint of sharpness that had experienced blood and fire. In her hand, she held a thin sword condensed from light elements, and the tip of the sword was pointing diagonally at the ground, dripping with the last few drops of dark red blood.
Not everyone around her is human.
Several Soul Beasts of different shapes and powerful auras were standing quietly. One of the five Ten-Thousand-Year Iron-Back Gray Wolfs with iron-like hair and fierce eyes was lowering his head to sniff the residual breath of a Evil Soul Master corpse and snorted with disdain.
A six-year-old Ten-Thousand-Year Wind-Splitting Eagle with a wingspan of more than five meters and wind blades flowing around the edges of its feathers is folding its wings, its sharp eagle eyes scanning the surrounding sky, acting as a guard. There is also a Qiwan-year Mystic Rock Turtle covered with a carapace like Rock, moving slowly but exuding a heavy sense of oppression, like a moving fortress, guarding the side and rear of Ye Qingning.
These Soul Beast are the "helpers" "provided" by Kraken. Thanks to his improved "Wisdom-Opening Technique", these Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast already have clear wisdom, can understand complex instructions, and can even carry out tactical cooperation.
However, in front of Ye Qingning and her human subordinates, they all strictly abide by Kraken's only additional requirement: never speak in front of humans, and only communicate with eyes, movements and simple mental fluctuations.
In just a few months, Ye Qingning integrated the remaining forces of the Ye Family, using its own Angel Martial Soul's appeal, plus these Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast "foreign aids" with good combat power and strict discipline, to form a small armed force named "Holy Sword".
They roamed in the area of the Heaven Dou Empire where Evil Soul Master first emerged and was most rampant, striking with precision and repeatedly performing extraordinary feats. Coupled with Ye Shuhua's powerful healing ability, the team's continuous combat capability is also considerable.
"Report Saintess, a total of forty-seven people in this stronghold Evil Soul Master, including a leader Soul Saint, have been eliminated. Thirteen civilians were rescued and have been properly resettled." Soul Emperor of the Ye Family quickly stepped forward to report, looking at Ye Qingning with eyes full of awe and admiration. Saintess--this is the honorific title given to her by her subordinates.
"Thank you." Ye Qingning nodded and glanced at the trembling rescued civilians who were being guarded by Soul Beast. A trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, which was immediately replaced by determination, "Clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and evacuate in half an hour. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"Yes!"
Seeing her subordinates and Soul Beast executing orders quickly and efficiently, Ye Qingning didn't feel much joy in her heart. She knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Evil Soul Master is like a weed, if you cut it off, it will soon pop up in other places. Moreover, as their reputation as "Holy Sword" gradually grows, they will inevitably attract the attention and counterattack of the more powerful and cunning Evil Soul Master forces.
What worried her even more was the situation in the empire. While they were cleaning up Evil Soul Master everywhere, inside the Heaven Dou Empire.
Balak Kingdom, Silves Kingdom, Hagendas Kingdom, these three kingdoms, almost at the same time, announced their separation from the Heaven Dou Empire and established themselves as kings!
Heaven Dou Imperial Family, under the multiple blows of successive civil strife and disastrous defeats in foreign wars, has long lost its prestige and is unable to stop it. The huge Heaven Dou Empire has actually split.
Although no new country name has been officially established yet, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the split is a foregone conclusion, and the future pattern of the two major forces Heaven Soul and Dou Ling coexisting side by side has begun to take shape.
Divine Realm, Sea God Hall.
In the majestic temple shrouded by endless auspicious clouds and divine light, Sea God, Asura God Dual Godhood and Tang San are sitting on the throne, closed. His eyes are focused. His spiritual thoughts are like invisible water waves, always sensing the brightness and flow of the Lower Realm's countless faith points. That is one of the sources of his power and an important way for him to monitor Lower Realm.
However, at this moment, his handsome and calm face had an almost invisible frown on his face.
He clearly felt that Faith Power coming from the Douluo Continent direction, especially the Heaven Dou Empire area, was continuing to decline and disperse at an abnormal rate!
It is not an instant plummet, but a slow but steady loss, as if the cornerstone of faith is constantly collapsing, being polluted, or being attracted and shunted by... some new, weak but tough "light".
"Lower Realm... What happened?" Tang San slowly opened his eyes, and in those eyes that contained the depth of the sea and Asura's murderous intent, a trace of doubt and solemnity flashed across. His thoughts moved slightly, and a divine thought had crossed the endless void and arrived at his Faith Anchor in the human world, which was also his most important spokesperson force in the Lower Realm - Sea God Island.
Sea God Island, Sea God Hall deep.
In contemporary High Priest, an old man with white beard and hair, a kind but majestic face, was kneeling devoutly in front of the statue of Sea God. Suddenly, his body shook, and he felt the arrival of the vast and supreme divine thought.
"My God..." High Priest responded with the most respectful thoughts.
"Lower Realm continent has lost its faith and is in turmoil. What happened?" Tang San's spiritual mind asked directly, with unquestionable majesty.
High Priest did not dare to neglect, and quickly compiled and reported the information recently collected through various channels:
"Reporting to my God, the Lower Realm continent has indeed undergone drastic changes. A few months ago, Heaven Dou, Star Luo Empire, and the Shrek Academy coalition forces broke out in a decisive battle with the Sun-Moon Empire at the collision site in the west. Both sides... almost perished together, and not a single top combat power was left."
"The old order collapsed, and Evil Soul Master emerged, wreaking havoc in all directions, especially Heaven Dou. They massacred cities and towns, and devastated all lives. This may be the main reason for the loss of faith."
"However, there have been new variables recently. In Heaven Dou, a new force has emerged, calling itself 'Holy Sword', taking a girl with Angel Martial Soul as its First, we united some Soul Master and... the high-level Soul Beast who were suspected of being domesticated, and wiped out Evil Soul Master everywhere. It was quite effective and gradually won the support of some people."
"Angel Martial Soul?!" Tang San's spiritual thoughts fluctuated. This Spirit Empire was no stranger to him. Angel Martial Soul reappeared, appearing as a "savior" at this time...
"In addition," High Priest continued to report, with a hint of worry in his voice, "Heaven Dou Empire has been divided due to civil strife and defeat. Kingdoms such as Balaque, Siville, and Haagenti have become independent. There is a fear that Heaven Dou Empire will collapse and faith will naturally disperse."
After a moment of silence, Tang San's spiritual thoughts came again, with a clear will:
"Evil Soul Master has blasphemed against living beings and shaken the foundation of faith. He should be punished. Angel Martial Soul has reappeared. His intentions are unclear. Although his actions are good, he must not ignore them."
"Preach my oracle: Order Sea God Island. In addition to High Priest guarding the Holy Land, the seven major Sacred Pillar Guardians immediately gathered together and went to the Douluo Continent to help eliminate Evil Soul Master, stabilize order, and guide faith.
Pay special attention to the successors of Angel Martial Soul, observe their behavior, and observe their hearts. If their hearts are toward the light, they are indeed common people, and they can be given appropriate support; if they have ulterior motives, or are with evil spirits... you need to be vigilant. If necessary, you can punish them on behalf of the gods to bring order to things."
"I will obey my God's decree!" High Priest kowtowed deeply.
The spiritual thoughts receded like a tide. High Priest stood up slowly, with a solemn expression, and immediately summoned seven Sacred Pillar Guardian with Secret Art.
Soon, seven streams of light with different colors but the same power rose into the sky from Sea God Island, crossed the sky, and rushed away in the direction of the Douluo Continent.
Sea God Island Seven Sacred Pillars, except High Priest who stayed behind, the rest of the guardians came out in full force! This is Sea God Island's very rare large-scale proactive intervention in mainland affairs in recent Ten-Thousand-Year!
