Long Yeyue's Unexpected Assistance, I Kill Jiang Xiu?
"Killed Jiang Xiu? Who is this?"
From the other end of the Communication Soul Tool, the Ghost Emperor's puzzled voice came.
In a secret chamber thousands of miles away, the Ghost Emperor frowned deeply. He couldn't recall any powerful figure on the continent with the surname Jiang who could make Qiangu Dongfeng Feng call him.
"The current top of the Genius Ranking is Jiang Xiu from the Body Sect!" Qiangu Dongfeng said, his face grim, enunciating each word clearly.
Jiang Xiu's current talent is terrifying; at the age of eleven, he has already defeated his grandson.
Under his training, Qiangu Zhangting was even able to fight opponents of higher levels, so the problem definitely wasn't with his grandson; it could only be that Jiang Xiu's talent was too extraordinary.
The Body Sect has already forged a deep bond with the Leng Family. If they wait for Jiang Xiu to grow stronger, he will only bring trouble to the Qiangu Family. Now that his grandson has been defeated by Jiang Xiu, wouldn't the Qiangu Family be used as a pawn to be wiped out by Jiang Xiu after being handed over to Qiangu Zhangting?
And for some reason, ever since he met Jiang Xiu, he had a bad feeling, as if Jiang Xiu was the one who would bury their Qiangu Family in the future, even though this feeling was absurd.
Especially this time, because of Jiang Xiu, he had to exchange some benefits with Leng Yaozhu! And this was the first time in his direct confrontation with Leng Yaozhu that he had been so at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Jiang Xiu was eliminated.
After all, only those geniuses who grow up can be called strong; those who fall are nothing more than skeletons buried underground.
"Oh~, you mean that genius's ultimate move... the Genius Youth Ranking." At this moment, the Ghost Emperor also remembered and said knowingly:
"Do we really need the Holy Spirit Cult to kill such a young boy? The Tower Master Qiangu, why don't you just find someone yourself?"
At his level, the only thing that could attract him was becoming a god; he hadn't looked at things like the Genius Ranking for countless years.
However, he was quite pleased with this Federation's Genius Ranking, since it was called the Kill List in their Holy Spirit Cult.
They didn't even need to Holy Spirit Cult seek them out...
"No." Qiangu Dongfeng frowned, sternly refusing.
"He's no ordinary genius. He's from the Body Sect, a disciple of Zhen Hua, the Grand Master of the Blacksmith Association, and even the commander of the Western Legion is his Grandmaster. He's connected to all sorts of forces. This Tower Master can't possibly make a move; what if I'm discovered..."
"Therefore, I only feel at ease when your Holy Spirit Cult is handling Tower Master, since your Holy Spirit Cult has absolutely no connection with Jiang Xiu."
A murderous intent flashed in Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes, but then, as if remembering something, an ambiguous meaning appeared in his eyes. He didn't want the scene above Shrek Academy to be repeated in his Spirit Pagoda.
"Hehehe, the Tower Master Qiangu is right," the Ghost Emperor chuckled. "Our Holy Spirit Cult is not like your so-called righteous forces, which appear harmonious on the surface but are actually scheming against each other internally. Our Holy Spirit Cult is a truly monolithic entity."
"Hmph! Get rid of Jiang Xiu first," Qiangu Dongfeng said unhappily. These rats from the gutter were trying to teach him how to do things.
"Hey, hey, Tower Master Qiangu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the Underworld Emperor is of the same rank as me, and I have no right to command him. Even our Holy Cult's leader doesn't easily let the Underworld Emperor do things..." the Ghost Emperor said helplessly.
His words were not untrue. He and the Underworld Emperor were both among the Two Emperors, and because his foundation was damaged by Ya Li when he was young, he was slightly inferior to the Underworld Emperor in terms of combat strength.
In the event of a major incident, he would only consult with the Underworld Emperor, rather than give orders.
"The Demon Empress..." Qiangu Dongfeng murmured to himself, a chill creeping down his spine. He knew that the one the Ghost Emperor spoke of was the legendary supreme ruler of the Holy Spirit Cult — the Demon Empress.
If the Ghost Emperor is this strong, then how strong must the Demon Empress be? Has he taken a half-step into the true divine realm?
Shaking his head slightly, Qiangu Dongfeng coldly said, "This Tower Master doesn't care about these things. You must guarantee to kill Jiang Xiu in one go."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor understood that Qiangu Dongfeng was serious, and his tone became slightly more serious, "I can inquire with the Underworld Emperor for you, but I'm not sure if it's feasible. You can also choose another powerful member of our Holy Spirit Cult as a guarantee."
Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes flashed, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Then let's choose the Dark Bell, which your Holy Spirit Cult excels at for covert assassinations."
This was the result of his careful selection. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Dark Hummingbird was good at intrigue and intelligence, while Dark Phoenix was love-struck and unreliable.
The reason why their Qiangu Family can now suppress the Leng Family is partly due to the Dark Phoenix leaving the Leng Family.
The Dark Blood Demon dared to engage in a direct confrontation, but he was somewhat mentally unstable, so the only reliable person left was the Dark Bell.
"No problem, the Underworld Emperor may not agree, Dark Bell may not agree either..." the Underworld Emperor blurted out.
"Alright... um?" Qiangu Dongfeng was about to agree, but immediately sensed something was wrong, his expression turning somewhat angry. "Ghost Emperor, are you treating this Tower Master like someone from the Shrek Academy?"
"Tower Master Qiangu, as you know, every high-level combatant in our Holy Spirit Cult is precious. Moreover, as you yourself said, that Jiang Xiu is involved with so many forces, it's very difficult for us to deal with him," the Ghost Emperor sighed.
"So what do you want to do?" Qiangu Dongfeng asked directly.
"You need to pay more!"
The Ghost Emperor spoke concisely and firmly.
In the past, Qiangu Dongfeng always spoke to him from a superior position; now it's time for him to pay the price.
"Ha!" Qiangu Dongfeng was so angry he laughed.
When has this Byd Holy Spirit Cult ever used money to buy anything?
This is clearly meant to disgust him. The Ghost Emperor used to call him a good brother, but now he just makes excuses when it comes to getting things done.
But Qiangu Dongfeng remained calm, saying in a sinister tone, "Ghost Emperor, you don't want those two God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell to be unable to be transported, do you...?"
"Ha!" Inside the secret chamber, the Ghost Emperor's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly changed his tone and said, "I was just joking earlier. We're brothers who share the same heart and soul, how could I not help you?"
"That's good, get things done quickly." A smug look appeared on Qiangu Dongfeng's face.
The Ghost Emperor needed his help, and these two God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell were the Ghost Emperor's fatal weakness.
"No problem," the Ghost Emperor assured him loudly, then probed, "How are those two God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell doing? What's the current progress?"
"Don't worry, everything is going smoothly." Qiangu Dongfeng snorted lightly, then, as if remembering something, said:
"And now there's more good news. For some reason, Chen Xinjie, who was in charge of guarding the God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, has suddenly gone into 'seclusion for cultivation.' The guarding is now much weaker, and the process will speed up considerably."
"Hehehe, that's fantastic!" Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor instantly became even more excited.
This is simply divine intervention for his Holy Spirit Cult!
However, neither of them knew that this was all thanks to Long Yeyue...
"However, you need to think carefully. Shrek City has a linked soul guidance array, and Shrek Academy also has a miraculous golden ancient tree that will help them. If you launch the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon outside the city, it may very well give Shrek Academy time to escape."
The Qiangu Dongfeng carries a profound meaning.
"I have my own way of dealing with this. I guarantee that Shrek Academy won't have time to react before they're all sent to the heavens." The Ghost Emperor's hoarse voice was full of confidence.
They have now planted people in the Shrek Academy's self-defense force, so they can launch God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell from within Shrek City towards the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.
"Remember, kill Jiang Xiu Tower Master. I do not wish to see him grow stronger."
"If Jiang Xiu hadn't died, I, the Tower Master, would have swung my big black leather shoes and kicked your Holy Spirit Cult's ass to pieces."
"You won't get the shells you want either!"
After saying this, Qiangu Dongfeng immediately hung up the Communication Soul Tool.
In his view, the Holy Spirit Cult was nothing more than a cover for him; a bunch of rats trying to eat at the table?
This joke isn't funny.
"However, after this, we need to train Qiangu Zhangting properly. It was utterly embarrassing! He actually got trapped in an illusion created by a Soul Ancestor."
Qiangu Dongfeng snorted coldly, then flashed away from the battlefield.
In a secret chamber thousands of miles away, the Ghost Emperor stared at the disconnected Communication Soul Tool, his dark green eyes filled with a chilling aura.
"Those who don't know how to respect their elders! If I had another God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, I'd want to send your entire Spirit Pagoda to the heavens!"
After his angry roar, the Ghost Emperor gradually calmed down. He hadn't yet obtained the God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, so it wasn't the time to turn against Qiangu Dongfeng.
After a moment's thought, the Ghost Emperor took out his Communication Soul Tool and dialed a number.
"Ghost Emperor, is something the matter?"
As the call connected, a cold voice rang out.
"Underworld Emperor, someone wants you to kill someone?" the Ghost Emperor asked without mincing words, because he knew that beating around the bush with the Underworld Emperor was pointless.
"Say it, who?"
Inside a quaint, grey room, the Underworld Emperor held up a glass of red wine and swirled it.
"Jiang Xiu tops the Genius Ranking."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Underworld Emperor's expression froze, and he didn't even take a sip of the red wine he was about to drink.
Let him kill his own people?
Immediately, a chilling glint flashed in the Underworld Emperor's grey eyes, and he said indifferently, "Who?"
"Jiang Xiu," the Ghost Emperor said, frowning.
"What I mean is, who ordered me to take action?" the Underworld Emperor asked, his tone devoid of any emotion.
The Ghost Emperor's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What happened to Qiangu Dongfeng of the Qiangu Family?"
"The Qiangu Dongfeng..." the Underworld Emperor murmured, silently memorizing the name.
It seems he'll have to find an opportunity to get rid of Qiangu Dongfeng in the future.
"If you don't accept, Qiangu Dongfeng says someone else can." Seemingly sensing the Underworld Emperor's displeasure, the Ghost Emperor shrugged and said softly.
After all, he hadn't held out much hope, since the Underworld Emperor rarely even returned to the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Who else did he appoint?" the Underworld Emperor asked upon hearing this.
"The Dark Bell," the Ghost Emperor said truthfully.
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Underworld Emperor paused again.
Is this "Qiangu Dongfeng" an unlucky bear? Precise mine clearance?
