Obviously, after five months, Lu Ren has not left the country.
But relying on Soul Spirit Contract's relationship, Ice Empress can clearly feel that Lu Ren's cultivation is more than ten times stronger than before.
The aura of the fusion of Soul Power and Cursed Energy was even more powerful than before the retreat. The energy density flowing in Meridians was so high that it even frightened her.
Obviously, Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores can be said to be stable.
The second Soul Core has been successfully condensed, but is now in the final step.
Any interference from external forces during this process may break the balance.
A slight difference is a huge mistake. Let alone being interfered by external forces, even if you are distracted and say a word, all your previous efforts may be wasted. 0
Once Dual Soul Cores is out of balance, the best result is that the cultivation level is completely destroyed, and the worst result is that two Soul Core lose control at the same time and explode to death.
"I'll stop him!"
Ice Empress said in a deep voice.
She raised her hand and moved her wrist, and the joints made a slight crunching sound.
"Look at Lu Ren's situation. He will be able to break through soon. Don't disturb him!"
"I can at least hold off Mu En for a while. Although he is very strong and can be regarded as the strongest human being I have ever seen, I am not afraid of him yet."
Kurourushi seemed to sense something again at this time. The countless compound eyes looked in another direction at the same time, and the tentacles swung rapidly in the air, as if they had caught some extremely dangerous breath.
It hesitated to speak, but finally spoke, its voice heavier than when Just now reported, "But----Mingdu, there is another situation here."
Ice Empress was startled. "What's going on?"
"Mingdu The auras of more than four powerful humans appeared, and their targets are heading straight here." Kurourushi said.
Its cockroach spies are all over Mingdu, and no strong person's entry or exit can escape its surveillance. At this moment, it can clearly feel that at least four of the approaching auras have reached a level of Super Douluo or above, and the leading aura among them makes its Cursed Energy instincts tremble.
"It seems to be----Holy Spirit Cult?"
After hearing the news, Ice Empress's pupils shrank suddenly.
There is Mu En in front and Holy Spirit Cult in the back. Both sides are attacking at the same time, but they all arrive at the most critical moment for Lu Ren to retreat.
Imperial Palace, Xu Tianran held on to the armrest of Dragon Throne and looked at the woman standing in front of him with a very solemn expression.
This woman's appearance cannot be seen, and her whole body is shrouded in a large dark red cloak. There seems to be a layer of fog on her face that even Soul Guidance Lamp light cannot penetrate.
But Xu Tianran knows who she is.
In the entire Sun Moon Empire, there were only a handful of people who could make him feel fear from the bottom of his heart, and the person in front of him was one of them.
She is Death God Douluo Ye Xishui.
With the help of Death God Tower, the powerful Soul Tool, Ye Xishui is not only the strongest Limit Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire, but also the strongest Soul Engineer.
Tsukumo's level of cultivation combined with the blessing of Death God Tower allows her to be sure of victory when facing any opponent.
"Why do you have time to come to the palace today?" Xu Tianran spoke first, with a hint of probing in his tone.
In the past, when Ye Xishui came to see him, he would send someone to notify him in advance. He had never appeared in the side hall without any warning like today.
Moreover, she did not send a message through anyone this time, but appeared directly in front of him. This abnormality set off alarm bells in his heart.
Ye Xishui did not answer, but stared straight at Xu Tianran for a long time.
The air at the scene became more and more solemn under her gaze, and Xu Tianran could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
Then she spoke in an extremely hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, you have done a great job with Spirit Pagoda."
Xu Tianran's heart suddenly sank.
He heard the implication in this sentence.
Ye Xishui is asking why he provides shelter to Holy Spirit Cult's mortal enemy.
Xu Tianran suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face. "You are joking, Spirit Pagoda was built by that boy Lu Ren, and it has nothing to do with me."
"I just gave him a piece of land, he took my money and built a tower, that's all."
"That's it?" Ye Xishui sneered.
The laughter was dry and harsh, like two rusty iron sheets rubbing against each other, making the hairs on Xu Tianran's back stand up.
"Your Majesty, do you know how many people he killed Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Seven elders and four priests all died in his hands."
"Now our Seventh Worship Wuyun defected to the other party and became his Spirit Pagoda's watchdog."
"Your Majesty, do you know how miserable your State-Protector Divine Cult has been in the past five months?"
"The death of the elders and worshipers was a huge blow to Holy Spirit Cult. The strongholds were torn out one by one, and the surrounding cult members died and scattered."
"Did you show any concern for us during this time?"
"Xiao Wu now doesn't even dare to enter Mingdu. Holy Spirit Cult's foundation in the Sun Moon Empire was uprooted by him alone."
"And your Majesty, not only did you not get rid of him for Holy Spirit Cult, you instead gave him a fief, gave him tax exemptions, and built him a tower."
"It seems that His Majesty is forgetting the cooperative relationship with us."
Every time she said something, the temperature in the palace dropped one point.
The cold murderous intent quietly spread out of her body.
Xu Tianran's fingers on his knees tightened slightly, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion, but his expression still maintained the calmness that an emperor should have.
He knew that Ye Xishui was not here to kill him today. If she wanted to take action, she would not talk so much nonsense to him.
It doesn't take any effort for a Limit Douluo to kill an emperor who is not even as strong as Titled Douluo.
Sure enough, Ye Xishui changed the subject, and the murderous intent in his tone slowly subsided. "Your Majesty, please don't be so nervous. I just want to make a request."
"Please tell me." Xu Tianran said immediately.
"You can evacuate the entire Mingdu people and let them go to a safe location." Ye Xishui's tone became colder.
"Why?" Xu Tianran said.
Evacuating the entire Mingdu was an operation of this scale that had never happened before in the history of the Sun Moon Empire. Just thinking about that scene made him feel numb.
"Because we have to make a break with Lu Ren." Ye Xishui laughed, "We have discovered that Lu Ren has not come out for more than five months."
"Although there are several strong men stationed in the courtyard, they can't stop us Holy Spirit Cult."
""And now is the best opportunity."
"He has been in seclusion for so long, either to hit a bottleneck or to recuperate from an injury. No matter which one it is, now is the time when he is most vulnerable."
"If you don't want the people of Mingdu to die and threaten your Imperial Throne, then please do as I say." Ye Xishui said lightly, "Your Majesty, I am already very sincere."
"Don't forget, we Holy Spirit Cult can take this opportunity to go on a killing spree."
"The more people die, the stronger our strength becomes. You know Evil Soul Master's cultivation methods better than anyone else."
"But I have avoided this risk for you and offered to let you evacuate the people."
Xu Tianran was silent for a long time.
He felt like he was no longer human inside and out.
Because Xu Tianran sadly discovered that he was completely unqualified to refuse.
Rejecting Ye Xishui is tantamount to offending Holy Spirit Cult at the same time.
If Ye Xishui went crazy, I'm afraid he Xu Tianran would die here on the spot.
If you don't reject Ye Xishui's proposal----it would be like offending Lu Ren.
At that time, with Lu Ren's temperament, I'm afraid we will have to deal with him after Holy Spirit Cult is dealt with.
As for the strength of Lu Ren, Xu Tianran has seen it through various intelligence. In Star Luo City, Level 98 Almost all of the Shrek Academy's team led by Xuan Zi died in the hands of Lu Ren. In terms of mystery, Lu Ren will definitely not be lower than Holy Spirit Cult.
He can't afford to offend either party!
In the end, Xu Tianran made a choice. "But, I will order people to evacuate the people safely out of Mingdu now, but do you know the losses involved?"
"Mingdu With so many people, the materials, manpower, and time needed to evacuate, as well as maintaining order during the evacuation, are by no means a trivial matter."
"Of course. After everything is done, Holy Spirit Cult will go all out to help you sweep Three Great Empires and let Sun Moon Empire Unification of the Continent."
"In comparison, this loss is not worth mentioning." Ye Xishui said.
"Your Majesty, Holy Spirit Cult will let you see the hope that you can unify Douluo Continent instead of relying on the vain Soul Spirit Contract technology."
"Don't forget, we are Holy Spirit Cult, but there are two Limit Douluo."
"Okay, but remember, Soul Spirit Contract you must get it, otherwise -" Xu Tianran's face turned a little pale.
His original intention to support Spirit Pagoda was because of Soul Spirit Contract. If this technology fell into the hands of Holy Spirit Cult, all his investment in Spirit Pagoda would be in vain.
Ye Xishui raised his head slightly. "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we pay more attention to Soul Spirit Contract than you do."
"After his death, Soul Spirit Contract's technology will belong to Holy Spirit Cult, and Spirit Pagoda's buildings will belong to you Sun Moon Empire.
After saying that, Ye Xishui took Zhongli Wu and left.
When the two of them walked out of the side hall, Zhongli Wu looked back at Xu Tianran, with a hint of meaningful ridicule flashing in his eyes.
After watching them leave, Xu Tianran's whole body suddenly softened.
He leaned against Dragon Throne, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
Because he was afraid of Ye Xishui, he agreed to the other party's request.
And just now he was able to maintain the dignity of an emperor in front of Ye Xishui, but now the fear really came to him.
If Lu Ren survives this test, then depending on his temperament, he will definitely seek revenge on him.
Lu Ren was able to defeat even the famous Shrek Academy's team, and was even able to kill Holy Spirit Cult completely.
How can he, an emperor who is not even worthy of Titled Douluo, bear the wrath of Lu Ren?
Not to mention that the current Xu Tianran has not yet fully received the strong support of Father of Soul Engineers's Kong Deming!
"Lu Ren----You must not be lucky enough to survive----"
Xu Tianran closed his eyes and clenched his fingers so hard on the Dragon Throne armrest that his knuckles turned white.
"I can't help you."
Being frightened by Level 99 Limit Douluo, Xu Tianran felt that he was really a loser.
He had just ascended the throne for a while and had not yet fully grasped the power of the major Soul Engineer Legions. Although the Level 9 Soul Engineers in the military were loyal to the Imperial Family, they were not enough in the confrontation with Limit Douluo Level.
If Kong Deming is willing to deal with Ye Xishui for him, then why does he dare not even breathe in front of Ye Xishui?
As Mingdu's personnel were evacuated, Ye Xishui gradually approached the courtyard area with Holy Spirit Cult's remaining strength.
Behind her, stood Holy Spirit Cult Master Zhongli Wu, and Deputy Cult Master Feng Ling.
Zhongli Wu still looked calm and indifferent, but his eyes were full of long-repressed murderous intent.
Feng Ling stood quietly half a step behind him. This Deputy Cult Master rarely appeared in front of others, but her cultivation level was also Rank 97 Super Douluo.
--
And the only remaining worshiper, Zhang Peng.
Now that he has successfully emerged from seclusion, his cultivation level has reached Rank 97, and he has become Second Worship, second only to Long Xiaoyao in the Offering Hall. Rather, he and Long Xiaoyao are the only ones left in the entire Offering Hall.
But Zhang Peng's face was very heavy, and it could be seen that he was not very willing to participate in this operation.
Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu standing in front of him were both existences above Level 98, leaving him, Rank 97, no room for resistance.
It's just that in his heart, he has begun to secretly plan when to betray him.
He owes Lu Ren a life, and he also owes Lu Ren a chance to break through Rank 97. He can't really fight Lu Ren no matter what.
But at this moment, darkness came from far away from the horizon.
The darkness was not cold, and it did not look like the darkness of Evil Soul Master at all. Instead, it had a heaviness that was inclusive of all things.
Then, a deep voice sounded from the darkness, with a deep sense of sadness in his tone. "Is it worth it? Is it really worth it?"
"You should know that your goal will never be achieved.
"Even if I try my best to help you, you still can't do it."
"You said that, are you sincere and did your best to help me?" Ye Xishui looked into the darkness and responded coldly.
In the darkness, a tall figure walked out.
He has a burly figure and a resolute face, and the majestic aura of Dark Sacred Dragon lingers around him. This person is Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao 0
One of today's Three Limit Douluo.
Long Xiaoyao walked up to Ye Xishui, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
There is guilt, heartache, and a sense of exhaustion after seeing everything through.
"Xishui, give up. A Evil Soul Master sect like Holy Spirit Cult cannot last forever. No matter where it appears, it will be attacked by a group of people."
"Xu Tianran is so ambitious. After he has accomplished some of his goals, he will still abandon you. Just like between Holy Spirit Cult and Spirit Pagoda, he chose Spirit Pagoda without hesitation."
"And now, you took the initiative to threaten him and forced him to make a choice to help you achieve your goals. Xu Tianran will definitely remember what happened today. When Xu Tianran takes the initiative to take control of the overall situation, we really will have no chance to threaten him."
"Judging from the current situation, Sun Moon Empire will definitely be able to unify the mainland in the near future. At that time, it will be even more difficult for you to find opportunities." Long Xiaoyao saw it very clearly, and it was for this reason that he took the initiative to stand up and persuade Ye Xishui.
"Do you believe it or not, when Sun Moon Empire unified the mainland, the first thing they had to do was the same as before, to wipe out all Evil Soul Master at all costs, leaving no one behind?"
"Because the problems you, Evil Soul Master, have caused are really too serious, and they are all a matter of outrage to both humans and gods!
"Shut up!"
Ye Xishui said suddenly Wrath.
When Long Xiaoyao said this, Ye Xishui's voice seemed to be emotional, extremely sharp, and filled with anger and unwillingness that had been suppressed for countless years.
Seeing Ye Xishui lose his composure, Long Xiaoyao could only sigh and said, "Is all this really worth it?"
"The Spirit Pagoda you want to destroy now is the only force besides all the forces willing to accept Dark Attribute Martial Soul."
"Even in these five months, Spirit Pagoda people are willing to accept Soul Master from Evil Martial Soul, and even transform them so that they can cultivate themselves Martial Soul and improve their cultivation level without killing people."
"The child named Xiao An is the best example. His Martial Soul is Vengeful Spirit. According to common sense, he can only become stronger by devouring souls, but Spirit Pagoda gave him a Soul Spirit and the matching Cultivation Method, so that the child can now practice normally."
"Are you really willing to just destroy this Spirit Pagoda? This is a hope for the future of all Evil Soul Master. Isn't this the idea you dream of?"
"If even the only force standing on Holy Spirit Cult's side is destroyed by your own hands, then from now on, no one will be willing to give Evil Soul Master a chance."
"Different principles lead to mutual agreement!" Ye Xishui said coldly, "I admit that Lu Ren is indeed kind and righteous. He is willing to give Evil Soul Master a chance, but at what cost?"
"The price is that we Holy Spirit Cult will almost become disabled!"
"Seven elders, four worshippers, all died in his hands."
"If Xiao Wu tells me the news later, will this huge Holy Spirit Cult be killed by his Lu Ren, leaving you and me alone?"
Long Xiaoyao was silent again.
He couldn't refute this fact.
Lu Ren is indeed massacring the people of Holy Spirit Cult, and he is killing them mercilessly, almost exterminating Holy Spirit Cult.
"Spirit Pagoda, we can accept it and use it as a continuation of Holy Spirit Cult." Ye Xishui looked at the silent Long Xiaoyao, and suddenly his heart softened.
The Wrath in her tone slowly faded away, replaced by a tired and soft emotion. "But Lu Ren, you must die today."
"He hasn't come out for five months. It must be the most critical time for cultivation."
"As long as we interrupt him, without us even taking action, he will Qi Deviation die on his own.
"This method is not cruel, Xiaoyao, please help me."
Long Xiaoyao was shocked and looked at Ye Xishui in disbelief.
The Ye Xishui in his heart actually asked him for help?
After knowing him for so many years, she had never lowered her head in front of him, never said the words "help me".
Or is it because there are too many strong people around Lu Ren, and even Ye Xishui dare not say that he is 100% sure of victory?
"I secretly came to that courtyard before to observe the situation in detail, and finally I found that there were at least three beings guarding there who could compete with me." Ye Xishui hesitated for a moment, and finally explained in a deep voice.
"What? Three people???"
Long Xiaoyao was really and completely shocked now.
Who is Ye Xishui?
That is the existence of Level 99 Limit Douluo.
In the Douluo Continent, the number of people who can compete with her head-on can be counted on one hand, Mu En, he Long Xiaoyao.
In addition, there may be one or two old Monster who are hiding in the world.
And in that small courtyard, were there three beings who could compete with her?
Lu Ren, how many strong people are there around you?
