The Dark Blood Demon was the strongest of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness. His abilities were related to souls, and he possessed the power to devour them.
A gathering place for Evil Soul Masters like the Holy Spirit Cult was indeed perfectly suited to him.
Because he excelled at devouring souls, his Spiritual Power was exceptionally strong. At the same time, he was more cunning.
He led his men in striking the city defense forces first. Caught off guard by their own laxity, the city defense forces were unable to react at all when the Dark Blood Demon attacked.
"Blood Demon Purgatory!"
The Dark Blood Demon unleashed Blood Demon Purgatory, and together with the other Evil Soul Masters, instantly inflicted massive casualties upon the city defense forces.
Afterward, the Dark Blood Demon released his Blood Demon True Body and devoured the souls of the dead. The instant he consumed those souls, he felt incomparably delighted.
News of the city defense forces being attacked quickly reached the imperial palace. Xue Yuntian was utterly shocked. He had never imagined that the Holy Spirit Cult would be so audacious as to directly attack the imperial capital.
In his rage, Xue Yuntian immediately ordered the army to be mobilized and commanded them to wipe out these brazen Evil Soul Masters.
However, the imperial capital's city defense forces were already in complete chaos. Mobilizing troops from elsewhere would also take considerable time.
Long Yeyue had come to provide support, so naturally she could not stand by and do nothing. She led the Shrek Seven Devils, Wu Changkong, and the others toward the city defense forces' garrison.
"Anyone bold enough to attack the imperial capital so openly must be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness. You must all be careful."
