Just as the Holy Ghost Church became everyone's experience pack, the news of the important figures in the church perishing also reached the higher-ups of the Holy Ghost Church. For a time, panic gripped everyone's hearts. Even low-tier Evil Soul Masters began to desert. After all, Evil Soul Masters were also human. Being human, they had seven emotions and six desires; they felt fear and were afraid of death. Yet, just as the minds of all the Evil Soul Masters were shaken, the true mastermind behind the scenes finally could not hold back! Splash! In the endless ocean, waves suddenly surged violently. One large and one small piece of deep sea demon crystal slowly emerged from the surface of the water, transforming into a beautiful young girl and a strikingly gorgeous royal sister. This was the Demon Empress and her daughter, Lan Fuzi. "Mother, what has happened?" "An unpredictable power has appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest of Douluo Continent, and I must go inspect it in person!" "Otherwise, the Holy Ghost Church will perish!" According to the plot of the original work, this true mastermind behind the scenes of the Holy Ghost Church actually would not have emerged from seclusion this early. She was supposed to officially make her debut only when the Abyss Plane invaded. Yet there was no help for it. If the Demon Empress did not make a move at this moment, the higher-ups of the Holy Ghost Church would be slaughtered to the last person. Especially after Ghost Emperor perished, the Hall of God of War and the Pagoda of Spirit had actually torn up the alliance and started targeting some high-tier Evil Soul Masters! Someone had to step out afterward to hold down the fort. Otherwise, in two months at most, the entire Holy Ghost Church would probably be wiped from this planet by the people. "But Mother, I heard that is a sealed Dragon King lord. Is it really okay for us to go against him like this?" Lan Fuzi looked like a young girl. Yet as a soul beast capable of taking human form, her actual age was not small either. "Fuzi, this is why I need your help. We will split into two paths..." In fact, the legends of that Dragon King had reached the ears of the Demon Empress long ago as well. Moreover, starting from the first-generation Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale Clan had fantasized about one day being able to transform into a true dragon and breaking through level one hundred to become a god. Therefore, if there truly was a genuine Dragon King lord beneath the earth, the Demon Empress truly did not dare to confront him head-on. Thus, she needed a double insurance. This double insurance was her own daughter, Lan Fuzi! "Mother, don't worry!" "If I confirm that it truly is the Dragon King lord, I will definitely help the clan communicate well with him!" "That's good. If it really comes to the step where a choice must be made, the Holy Ghost Church can be abandoned!" In this world, there was originally no such thing as the purest good and evil. All rules followed a single set of unspoken conventions—that interests came first. Do not look at the fact that the Demon Empress was the leader of the Holy Ghost Church. Yet if it concerned the origin of the Dragon Clan and a trade-off had to be made, the Demon Empress would definitely lean toward the Dragon King. Even the ancestral precepts of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale Clan were something the Demon Empress could not violate! "That's good, keep this token safe!" "In case you run into some blind fool, take out my token!" Toward her own daughter, the Demon Empress was utterly solicitous, even going so far as to take out the Holy Ghost Church leader's token. "Alright, before I find the Dragon King, I will definitely conceal my identity!" "Go!" "This empress should also go meet that untrustworthy old scoundrel Qiangu Dongfeng!" ... Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Dragon Valley, the battle was still not over. Only now, the situation had completely changed. The once arrogant and domineering Holy Ghost Church was currently scurrying about everywhere like street rats. "Run!" "Ghost Emperor lord is dead!" "We are no match for these people!" "Go back!" "We must notify the church leader immediately!" Some low-tier Evil Soul Masters fled wildly, unable to even care about their companions, because they knew very well that staying now was simply waiting for death. On the other side, Dark Hummingbird was being hunted down by several Titled Douluo, his complexion turning unsightly to the extreme. "Qiangu Dongfeng!" "Must you truly drive us to absolute ruin?" In the sky, Qiangu Dongfeng sneered. "Evil Soul Masters deserve to be killed by everyone." "Dark Hummingbird, you have committed evil for many years." "Today is your retribution." Hearing these high-sounding words, Dark Hummingbird was almost laughed out of his anger. "Hahahahaha!" "What a fine 'Evil Soul Masters deserve to be killed by everyone'!" "Then who was it back then that asked us to help handle those matters?" "Who was it that needed us to resolve troubles for you?" "Qiangu Dongfeng, do you really think no one knows your secret?" This single remark caused the expressions of several Pagoda of Spirit powerhouses nearby to change slightly. What they feared the most was these matters being exposed. After all, everyone had cooperated secretly in the past; no one would proactively tear off their masks. Yet things were different now. Right here in Dragon Valley, there was no telling how many live broadcast soul tools there were, nor how many people were watching. Once Dark Hummingbird spilled certain matters, the reputation of the Pagoda of Spirit would inevitably suffer a huge blow. "Don't waste breath on him." Qiangu Dongfeng's gaze turned cold. "Kill him directly." The next second, several powerful soul skills erupted simultaneously. Dark Hummingbird's expression changed drastically. Although he possessed formidable strength, facing the siege of so many powerhouses, he had simply no chance of winning. Just as he prepared to fight to the death, the entire sky suddenly darkened. It was not dark clouds, but rather a terrifying aura descending. Everyone stopped fighting at the same time. "What's going on?" "This pressure..." Qiangu Dongfeng looked up, his expression changing for the first time. The next moment, a chilling voice resounded through the heaven and earth. "Qiangu Dongfeng." "You have some nerve." "You even dare to touch people from this empress?" Boom! The distant sea surface exploded as endless seawater surged into the sky. An exceptionally beautiful woman stepped across the waves, the void behind her vaguely manifesting a gigantic deep sea demonic whale. That terrifying figure caused every Titled Douluo present to feel a sense of suffocation. "Who are you?" Although the other party was a woman, she gave Qiangu Dongfeng a feeling of overwhelming terror. Just what kind of power could cause a rank-99 Limit Douluo like him to feel such fear? Very soon, Dark Hummingbird, who had been waiting for death nearby, provided the answer! "Demon Empress lord!" "It really is you!" "That's wonderful, our Holy Ghost Church is saved!" Over the past few decades, although rumors had circulated about that mysterious ruler of the Holy Ghost Church, no one had ever seen her true face. Hearing this cry from Dark Hummingbird,

The faces of everyone at the scene turned black.

Because there were rumors that the Demon Empress had already reached the realm of a pseudo-God.

Her strength was comparable to a True God.

Seeing her today, it really was so.

"Old Thief Qiangu, I still overestimated the integrity of you humans!"

"Compared to Tang San back then, your skin is even thicker than his!"

Holy crap!

The Demon Empress had such a powerful aura.

But before she could make a move against Qiangu Dongfeng,

she was spotted by the Dark Gold Dire Claw Bear on the ground!

"Ouch, ouch, another formidable Evil Soul Master has come. None of you are allowed to fight me for this one!"

Perhaps because he saw the grand prize Di Tian received,

Xiong Jun had been full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He had been wandering around Dragon Valley all day, wanting to wipe out someone even stronger than the Ghost Emperor.

He originally thought that was wishful thinking.

But who would have thought, hadn't they delivered themselves to his door today?

"You?"

"Where did this stupid bear come from? Don't get in the way!"
