Candidate for an Ultimate God Servant, Da Ming Under Immense Pressure!

This was a deal requiring minimal investment but offering enormous returns. No individual or faction could easily refuse it.

Moreover, Long Wushang now controlled the Seven Deadly Sin God Servants. As long as he signed a contract, he could make someone completely loyal to him, with no need to worry about betrayal. It was both effortless and convenient.

Among the Seven Deadly Sin God Servants was a Gluttony God Servant. Just from the name alone, it was obvious that this thing was practically tailor-made for Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull martial soul.

If he could make Xuan Zi his own strength, then no matter what situation he faced in the future, he would have a trump card of his own.

He could not rely on his father forever. His father's strength alone would eventually be limited.

He also needed to cultivate a force that belonged entirely to himself, a true powerhouse who could obey his commands and even be willing to give up their life for him.

And Xuan Zi was undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates at present.

Hearing his son's shocking question, Long Xiaoyao was utterly dazed.

What was this, Taotie Douluo? Could he join their team?

What kind of team was their team? They were a fucking team of evil soul masters!

Long Xiaoyao looked at his son before him with utter speechlessness.

"Other people try to persuade others to turn over a new leaf, but you spend every day thinking about how to tempt people into evil. Are you really my son? Why is your mind even darker than an evil soul master's?"

"Although I possess the Dark Sacred Dragon martial soul, my heart is incomparably upright!"

Long Xiaoyao spoke with righteous indignation, but coming from him, those words were somewhat unconvincing.

Still, jokes aside.

Upon careful consideration, Long Wushang's proposal was not entirely impossible.

In terms of martial souls alone, Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull did indeed have a certain degree of compatibility with the Holy Spirit Cult's system.

With the transformation of the Holy Spirit Cult's special secret techniques, combined with the power system of evil soul masters, it might truly allow Xuan Zi's strength to advance even further.

It was just that... this idea was a little too fanciful.

Getting Xuan Zi to join the Holy Spirit Cult would not be easy.

After all, Xuan Zi was currently Shrek Academy's second strongest expert. Before Mu En died, he had most likely entrusted the entire academy to him.

And Mu En's death was inseparable from Long Xiaoyao. It could almost be said that Long Xiaoyao had driven him to death.

As Mu En's martial nephew and a true core member of Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi's feelings toward Mu En were far beyond those of an ordinary teacher and student.

Given Xuan Zi's nature, once he possessed sufficient strength, the thing he would most want to do would likely be avenging Mu En.

To make such a person let go of his hatred, accept the Holy Spirit Cult's power, and even become a member of the Holy Spirit Cult...

Unless something happened that was enough to destroy his convictions, it was nearly impossible.

Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyao shook his head.

"Wushang, don't be too greedy."

"That fellow Xuan Zi is not so easy to deal with."

"Before that old dragon Mu En died, he surely left contingencies for him. Winning him over will not be simple."

Hearing his father's words, Long Wushang did not argue. He merely nodded lightly.

He naturally understood the difficulty involved.

Who was Xuan Zi?

He was a true core figure of Shrek Academy, a core member among the Shrek inner circle.

The education he had received since childhood and the glory he acknowledged deep in his bones were all closely tied to Shrek Academy.

To make such a person betray Shrek and turn to the Holy Spirit Cult, something would have to happen that could completely shatter the pillar supporting his spirit.

For example, another disaster that would leave an unforgettable scar on him.

There was no opportunity in the short term, but perhaps there would be one in the future.

Many things could not be decided right now.

There was plenty of time ahead. They would take it one step at a time.

The three figures turned into streaks of light, cutting across the sky before swiftly vanishing into the distance.

Meanwhile.

Deep within a mountain range on Douluo Continent that was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

An ancient and magnificent sect stood atop the mountain peak, its vast aura seeming to suppress the entire world.

Above the sect gates were three bold, powerful characters—Clear Sky Sect.

As a top-tier sect with an inheritance spanning countless years, the Clear Sky Sect had once created innumerable glories.

It possessed deep foundations and produced generations of powerful experts. Even after ten thousand years of change, the Clear Sky Sect remained one of the continent's foremost powers.

Yet at this moment, things within the Clear Sky Sect were far from as relaxed as outsiders imagined.

Inside the Clear Sky Sect Master's room.

Two beds stood side by side.

On one of them lay Er Ming, already unconscious.

This mighty expert, who had once roamed the Star Dou Great Forest, gone all in alongside his elder brother to support their brother-in-law Tang San, then ascended to the God Realm and left behind a legend of his generation, now had an incredibly weak aura. The injuries across his body were vicious and horrifying, a shocking sight to behold.

Beside him stood another bed carved from ten-thousand-year mystic ice.

Lying atop it was a youthful-looking boy.

It was Huo Yuhao, whose severe injuries had yet to heal.

Within the residence of the dignified Clear Sky Sect Master, two gravely injured people were lying there at the same time.

If such an absurd event were to spread, it would certainly cause a massive uproar across the continent.

Beside the two, a man and a woman stood guard over them with solemn expressions.

"Big Daddy..."

Having changed back into women's clothing, Wang Dong'er looked at the two unconscious people before her, her eyes filled with worry.

"Second Daddy not only failed to obtain the immortal herbs, he was also severely injured like Yuhao. Both of them are unconscious now."

"If this continues to drag on, neither of them will escape with recoverable injuries."

By this point, Wang Dong'er's voice had begun to tremble.

One was the Second Daddy who had accompanied her as she grew up, while the other was the companion she deeply loved. Both were among the most important people in her life.

Now that both had suffered devastating injuries at once, how could she possibly not worry?

Da Ming, who stood to the side, was also frowning deeply.

He had never expected so many unforeseen developments to occur when Er Ming went to the Icefire Yin Yang Well in search of immortal herbs.

The treasured ground left behind by the Sea God had been claimed by someone else first, and all the immortal herbs within had been swept away. Even Di Tian, the current overlord of the soul beast race and Beast God who had not appeared in ten thousand years, had appeared there and seized the place for himself.

Trying to reclaim that place from Di Tian and take back the immortal herbs was now simply as difficult as reaching the heavens.

With his current strength, if he did not use divine power, he was likely no match for Di Tian.

According to Er Ming's account after waking up, Di Tian's strength had already far surpassed that of ordinary human Limit Douluo and had even touched the godly level.

Yet both Huo Yuhao and Er Ming urgently needed those immortal herbs to recover.

If Huo Yuhao could not repair his foundation, his future path of cultivation would certainly be affected, possibly even impacting that person's grand plan.

If Er Ming could not receive treatment in time, these injuries might likewise remain with him for the rest of his life.

After pondering for a long time, Da Ming ultimately made a decision.

He would risk contacting Sea God Tang San again. Perhaps only Tang San could resolve their current predicament.

"Dong'er, stay here and take care of them."

"I'm going to find someone. Maybe he can think of a way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Ming flashed away, heading toward the forbidden grounds in the deepest part of the Clear Sky Sect.

Only Wang Dong'er remained behind, guarding the two gravely injured people.
