Deep in the Far North.
"Sometimes stupidity has its advantages." The deep, hoarse voice was filled with a chilling undertone. "I never expected them to come up with such a method."
The speaker was covered in a ghostly green light, obscuring his features, but a sinister aura surrounded him.
The Holy Spirit Cult, one of the two emperors, the Ghost Emperor.
"Hehe, now all we need to do is wait patiently, and we can join forces with them to accomplish the feat of creating Divine Realm. At that time, you and I will both ascend to godhood."
A figure appeared at the end of the passage, walking slowly towards the Ghost Emperor. He didn't seem to be walking fast, but he was very rhythmic, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the Ghost Emperor.
He wore gray armor and a gray cloak. The armor was crystal clear and reflected a strange light. He was extremely handsome and beautiful. His long black hair was draped behind his head, but his face was snow-white, without a trace of color, which made his handsome face look somewhat eerie.
In his right hand, he held a slender cross-shaped sword. Like the armor he wore, the sword itself was gray and transparent, with a faint gray mist appearing and disappearing on it.
His armor had no helmet, only a gray crystal on his forehead. The crystal was rhomboid, with countless facets that refracted light.
He didn't look like a human at all; he seemed more like Death God from the underworld.
The Holy Spirit Cult, one of the two emperors, the Darkness Emperor.
"We have the Blood River God-Slaying Array... It's just a pity that His Majesty the Demon Empress failed to awaken as planned." The Ghost Emperor snorted coldly, his fists clenched tightly.
The Darkness Emperor glanced at him again. "A few years ago, the entire Douluo Star experienced a celestial phenomenon that lasted no more than two seconds. You must know that it was definitely caused by Yu Longyue, a possessor of God Level Martial Soul."
"I'm afraid his current strength is already below that of a god, making him invincible. Without divine power, it would be very difficult for us to contend with him."
"I understand. Therefore, right now, we must spare no effort to awaken His Demon Empress as soon as possible."
Just then, a sudden fluctuation occurred in the air, and a powerful spatial force erupted in the center of the conference room.
The Ghost Emperor and the Darkness Emperor immediately became alert, their gazes fixed on the center of the spatial fluctuations.
"Who?!"
The spatial fluctuations gradually stabilized, and a crack slowly opened, from which two figures dressed in black robes emerged. Their arrival was silent, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.
"You all seem to be struggling with how to deal with Yu Longyue?"
Tang San, who was in the lead, took off his hood, revealing his true face, and looked down at the Ghost Emperor and the Darkness Emperor.
The other Evil Soul Master didn't seem worth his time.
"So what if it is?" The Ghost Emperor frowned, looking at the two uninvited guests. His Martial Soul Ring lit up, and he put on his Battle Armor.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Tang San realized the situation was turning bad and quickly raised his hand to stop it:
"What a coincidence, I'm also here to deal with Yu Longyue. There's a saying that goes, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' I'm here to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation? Interesting. You appear righteous and awe-inspiring, quite arrogant, but I didn't expect you to cooperate with us Evil Soul Master right from the start?" The Ghost Emperor sneered. "It seems that one can truly know a person's face but not their heart."
Tang San's face darkened. "Enough with the nonsense. I've heard you need to awaken the Demon Empress, but I have the most efficient method. It's just a matter of whether you want it or not."
"Oh?"
The Ghost Emperor and the Darkness Emperor exchanged a glance, then both looked at Tang San.
"Your Excellency has shown considerable sincerity. In that case, let's not waste any more words and discuss the terms."
Clear Sky Sect.
Yu Longyue breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that her Soul Power was functioning normally and that her body was unharmed. A hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
Confirmed.
Tang San just wanted to annoy them.
This is just too... well...
"It seems we're all alright." Qiangu Dongfeng said with a hint of relief, finally confirming that he was in good health.
"We were really lucky this time," Cai Yue'er said softly, with a hint of lingering fear, but mostly relief.
After everyone checked each other for any lingering traces of blood arrow energy, the various factions seemed less tense...
The relationship seems to have improved a lot.
In particular, the rivalry between Qiangu Dongfeng and Amorous Douluo Zang Xin has lessened.
"Let's go. It seems the Clear Sky Sect is just an empty shell; there aren't many survivors." Yu Longyue sighed and looked at Qiangu Dongfeng. "Please, Senior Qiangu, feel free to plunder. As agreed, you'll receive fifty percent of the resources."
Regardless of the inhuman reasons given by Qiangu Dongfeng in the original novel, I still owe Qiangu Dongfeng a few favors in the end.
Without the "gift" of the Qiangu Dongfeng, his three Soul Spirit would now be at least tens of thousands of years younger.
What's more, the Tyrant Dragon Soul Spirit was given to me for free.
Yu Longyue is making a fortune.
Given the current strength of the Tyrant Dragon Soul Spirit, it can completely evolve into Golden Sacred Dragon in the later stages. It shares the same lineage as the Golden Dragon of the Dragon Clan, both possessing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.
"Thank you for your help." Qiangu Dongfeng clasped his hands in a fist and fist salute, then led his team to begin looting the Clear Sky Sect.
"It seems we've come up empty-handed this time," said the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin. Given his personality, he would most likely disagree with Qiangu Dongfeng taking 50% of the credit, but this time he inexplicably agreed.
Perhaps it was because Qiangu Dongfeng's attitude was indeed quite good, and that hostility had completely disappeared.
Qiangu Dongfeng seems like a completely different person.
"Yes... now it's even more difficult to deal with." Yu Longyue sighed and looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked utterly dejected, realizing that Tang San had essentially gone mad.
A crazed opponent is definitely one of the most difficult types to deal with.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao looked at Yu Longyue with a hint of helplessness, as if asking, "Isn't there any other way to deal with him?"
Yu Longyue thought for a moment, then walked towards Huo Yuhao and took out a glass bottle containing blood from her spatial storage.
"This is...?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Yu Longyue with a puzzled expression.
"After my battle with Tang San, I personally collected his essence blood, a whole bottle of spoils," Yu Longyue said calmly. "There was no more to collect. After all, I collected it secretly when no one was paying attention. If I had made any bigger moves, I probably would have been exposed, and Tang San would have been on guard."
"Judging from Tang San's current state, he seems unaware, so I thought I'd give it to you. See if you can concoct something to surprise Tang San, you great inventor."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and snatched the glass bottle:
"Absolutely, definitely, I'll give him a surprise."
"Also, this recording... I made a backup." Yu Longyue secretly slipped Huo Yuhao a soul-guided recorder. "Listen to it secretly when you get back. It can also give Tang San a surprise. Remember, if Tang San causes trouble while I'm in the army, find a suitable opportunity to contact me, and then play it at a later time."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up:
"Okay, how come you have so many good things to deal with Tang San? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to control yourself if I told you earlier." Yu Longyue glanced at him, then began to lead everyone to plunder the resources of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang San and his group seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Although the Clear Sky Sect had declined, it still had a lot of resources.
For example, those inherited Soul Spirit...
The Spirit Pagoda accepted it without hesitation.
The operation ended so hastily, mainly because Yu Longyue really didn't expect that Tang San would run away so easily, leaving his counterattack empty-handed.
But it saved them some effort, since Tang San destroyed the sect himself, not the other way around.
They're really going to have no bottom line anymore.
That means Tang San is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
After everyone had finished looting, the operation came to an end, and everyone went home. Of course, there was also the fact that the major forces of the Douluo Continent joined forces and began to announce the methods used by the Clear Sky Sect and other Evil Soul Master, officially issuing arrest warrants for all members of the Clear Sky Sect.
At this point, there were still three days before heading off to military training.
Eager to achieve her final advancement, Yu Longyue needed to find Thunderclap Hell Vine, so she came alone to the Douluo Hall of the Tang Sect headquarters and found the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.
"No problem, I'll take you to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well." The Amorous Douluo Zang Xin was extremely amiable. "However, whether or not the Thunderclap Hell Vine will be there is another matter..."
