Gui Mei: Let Me Do It! We'll Bear It Together!
Beyond the Heavenly Screen, Papal Hall, Yue Guan crushed the flower in his hand with his fingertips.
It was all because of that line, "Ghost Douluo died because of Hu Liena's betrayal."
He turned his head and looked at the Gui Mei. The Gui Mei stood in the shadows, expressionless, its figure under the black robe as elusive as ever, which surprised him somewhat.
Yue Guan's anger was not directed at Tang San, but at Hu Liena.
"Old ghost," Yue Guan said, his voice low and chilling.
"Um."
What does it feel like to know you're going to die?
"I don't feel anything, let's keep watching."
Gui Mei clenched his fist, his arm trembling, and decided to wait until they finished speaking before going to settle accounts with Hu Liena.
"But..."
"Let's examine the cause and effect before settling accounts."
From within the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye's voice continued, "If I remember correctly, the Spirit Hall of that time in history had already been renamed the Spirit Hall Empire by Bibi Dong. Tang San has just returned from Sea God Island and has completed his seven trials."
"Hu Liena met Tang San again at that time. She said she didn't want Tang San to go to the Star Dou Forest, but she betrayed the whole story of how Bibi Dong led the First Elder of the Spirit Hall to hunt down the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape."
Mu Hongchen Yin Hongye, "Then Tang San used the Sea God's Trident to launch a sneak attack on Bibi Dong and the others who were fighting the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. His first target was Gui Mei."
"Chrysanthemum Douluo watched helplessly as a thick golden halberd protruded from behind Ghost Douluo, and intense golden light instantly spread to every part of Ghost Douluo's body."
Yin Hongye nodded, then sighed and said, "The power of Titled Douluo allowed him to clearly see the entire process of Ghost Douluo's death, but he was powerless to do anything about it."
"This is also the reason why the Soul Hunt Operation failed. After that, Tang San obtained the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape."
"What a pity, Soul Bone Soul Ring were given to Tang San as dowry," Mu Hongchen mocked.
"Exactly. The resource distribution in the Douluo Continent was already distorted, and with ten thousand years of blood-sucking, it became even more distorted. The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker." Yin Hongye smiled calmly, after all, Shrek Academy, the major royal families, and sects had taken away so many resources.
As for the remaining commoners, let's not even talk about Martial Soul Awakening. Those who can awaken their souls need to rely on strong individuals for things like hunting Soul Ring... There were very few records of free Soul Master Soul Hunting in random teams even 10,000 years ago, which is much worse than Twenty Thousand Years Ago.
"It's the same now."
"Then what do you take me for? Anyone can become Soul Master. I don't just want them to have faith." Yin Hongye smiled confidently, but he knew that this thing still had drawbacks.
Beyond the Heavenly Screen, Yue Guan listened to Yin Hongye's words, unable to imagine what his own emotions were at that moment. He had spent more than sixty years with Ghost Douluo, a full cycle of sixty years, and their bond was so deep that it even surpassed that of blood brothers.
How much pain must he have been in at that time?
"Old ghost." Yue Guan's voice was almost cracked, as if it had been torn apart by something.
The Gui Mei stood behind him, silent for a long time. He reached out and placed his hand on Yue Guan's shoulder. "I'm still alive."
Yue Guan turned her head, her eyes were wet, but her gaze had turned cold.
He nodded. Two figures walked down the steps of the Papal Hall one after the other, golden chrysanthemum petals falling from Yue Guan's fingertips and scattering on the cold stone steps.
They were heading in the direction Hu Liena was in.
On the other side of Spirit City.
Hu Liena sat on the stone bench, as the words from the Heavenly Screen crashed down upon her. He had vouched for Tang Yin's reliability, yet she had leaked the mission plan; she had betrayed intelligence once again, and Ghost Douluo had died because of her.
She couldn't believe it, she absolutely couldn't believe it.
She muttered to herself, "I didn't... I couldn't... How could I..."
Xie Yue stood opposite her, leaning against the courtyard wall, his arms crossed. He looked at his sister, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.
In the Heavenly Screen, Qian Renxue listened to the whole story and remained stunned for a long time. One betrayal wasn't enough; they had to do it a second time.
She knew the first time, but she never expected it to happen a second time.
Twice, each time a fatal intelligence leak, each time causing the Spirit Hall to pay a heavy price.
"All she can think about is her time with Tang San on Hell Road." Yin Hongye leaned back in her chair, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "On Hell Road, Tang San used his Clear Sky Hammer openly and honestly. That hammer is the symbol of the Clear Sky Sect, and the whole continent knows that the Clear Sky Sect has a blood feud with the Spirit Hall —she can still treat such a clear enemy as one of her own."
"Tang San, Tang Yin, she's just deceiving herself."
"Love? It's nothing but wishful thinking and unrequited love."
He sensed that a group of Soul Beast were still gathered in the desert beneath the Mecha, inexplicably following them.
Mu Hongchen laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, it's just being love-struck."
"She's only been in the Slaughter City for a short time; she's sacrificed her entire life for it."
Qian Renxue thought about it and found that she couldn't refute it. When she was the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she had seen many infatuated noble ladies, but even they would not go so far as to send out information.
"Ghost Douluo ..." She thought of Gui Mei, who, although not on the same side, was at least absolutely loyal to the Spirit Hall.
Yin Hongye sensed the area beneath the Mecha for a moment, then said to Long Yeyue on the other side, "Light-Dark Douluo!"
"What's wrong! Weren't we supposed to be talking about the Shrek Academy? Why are you calling me again?"
"Is there Soul Beast following you under your Mecha?!"
"Soul Beast?"
Long Yeyue was naturally less vigilant than Yin Hongye. She released her spiritual power and sensed that there was indeed a group of Soul Beast following her.
Yes, there is! What happened?
"Hong Chen, check the Mecha! Someone has tampered with it!"
Yin Hongye roughly guessed that there was a mole within the Federation, probably the Ghost Emperor...
As for the other two great empires? They don't have the strength!
Mu Hongchen inspected the Mecha and scanned its data. He found a trace of powder in a joint gap.
"Luckily it's just powder..." He wasn't surprised, but this was only his mech; other people's Mecha weren't this powerful.
The energy system has been tampered with...
Only a very few people can avoid it.
"Notify the rocket launch base that those who haven't left yet shouldn't leave," Yin Hongye reminded them, seemingly unfazed by this tactic.
He's capable, what's there to be afraid of?
As for those researchers, their average strength is at the Soul Sage, but their power is unstable; they probably can't even defeat Soul King with strong combat experience.
Not to mention the lower-level Soul Beast; without Mecha, their deaths are only a matter of time.
Outside the Heavenly Screen, Hu Liena listened to the Heavenly Screen's evaluation of her, her fingers already clenching the hem of her dress into wrinkles.
The courtyard gate was kicked open.
The wooden door slammed against the wall with a dull thud, then shattered open.
Yan stood at the doorway and immediately fainted.
Being young is great; you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.
Hu Liena suddenly looked up and met Yue Guan's bloodshot eyes. He stood at the courtyard gate, the Gui Mei behind him drifting in silently like a wisp of black mist.
Without a word, Yue Guan flicked his finger, and a golden chrysanthemum shot out from his fingertip. The petals exploded in the air, turning into dozens of golden blades that pierced through Hu Liena's limbs.
"Your Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo..." Xie Yue shouted, Yue Guan slapped him away with a backhand, sending him crashing through the courtyard wall and falling to the ground.
"Get out of my way. This has nothing to do with you." Yue Guan's voice was hoarse. He was furious and walked towards Hu Liena step by step, each step carrying a suffocating killing intent, golden Soul Power surging around him.
"You killed that old devil."
You deserve to die!
Hu Liena slumped to the ground, looking up at Yue Guan. She opened her mouth, wanting to call for her master to save her, but no sound came out of her throat.
Gui Mei reached out from behind and pressed down on Yue Guan's shoulder.
"Let me do it! We'll share the burden!"
As he spoke, he reached out with his other hand directly towards Hu Liena's heart.
