The Death God's Obsession
Mu En felt deeply sorry for Huo Yuhao's escape, and also reprimanded Xian Lin'er for being too careless.
The only good news was that Xian Lin'er had confiscated Huo Yuhao's Storage Soul Tool beforehand during his interrogation.
Therefore, Du Busi successfully retrieved the secret manual belonging to their Body Sect, so this trip to Shrek wasn't entirely in vain.
Meanwhile, the fleeing Holy Spirit Cult stopped to rest after reaching the border of the Sun Moon Empire.
Because Ye Xishui, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, was somewhat absent-mindedly holding Long Xiaoyao's body and saying sorry, the situation could only be managed by Ye Xishui's son, Zhongli Wu, who was also the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.
After taking stock of their Holy Spirit Cult's losses, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but want to curse. Although they hadn't lost any Titled Douluo- level experts, they had still lost many Soul Saint and Soul Emperor -level experts.
It's important to understand that each upgrade of Evil Soul Master requires the sacrifice of a large number of personnel, which is why the emergence of an Evil Soul Master is easily detected and eliminated by the authorities.
Therefore, the number of killings required for cultivation by every Evil Soul Master is countless, especially for high-level Evil Soul Master.
The sudden loss of such a large number of Soul Saint and Soul Emperor -level Evil Soul Master is a devastating price to pay, even for the Holy Spirit Cult, which is composed of Evil Soul Master.
Of course, the greatest loss was the fall of Long Xiaoyao, the chief elder of their Holy Spirit Cult's Offering Hall.
With the protection of two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the Holy Spirit Cult was originally a super force capable of crushing the Spirit Contract Pagoda, except for the Beast God Di Tian who was backed by it.
After all, there are very few forces that have two Limit Douluos as their trump card. Even Shrek Academy only has one half-crippled Limit Douluo, Mu En.
The fact that Dragon Emperor Douluo would die at the Shrek Academy was something Zhongli Wu never dared to imagine.
The good news is that it was Long Xiaoyao who died, not Ye Xishui. This is because Long Xiaoyao was theoretically a peripheral member of their Holy Spirit Cult, and not even Evil Soul Master.
He joined the Holy Spirit Cult purely because of Ye Xishui; otherwise, he probably would have joined forces with Mu En to wipe out the entire Holy Spirit Cult.
Therefore, if Ye Xishui were to die, the Dragon Emperor Douluo would lose his reason for cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult and would then withdraw from the Holy Spirit Cult to live a Xiaoyao life.
From this perspective, Zhongli Wu felt very fortunate.
Of course, Zhongli Wu was able to describe Long Xiaoyao's death so lightly this time because although they were driven away by Gu Yuena, they had already achieved their goal: Huo Yuhao was now in the hands of their Holy Spirit Cult!
Zhongli Wu smiled as he looked at Huo Yuhao was already unconscious.
After so many years of searching, Zhongli Wu never imagined that the Rakshasa Helmet, which belonged to the Pope of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, would fall into the hands of a mere brat.
But this is for the best; at least there won't be so many problems when it's taken away. As long as the Supreme Elder can successfully comprehend the power left behind by the Rakshasa God, then their Holy Spirit Cult will have a god as their backer!
At that time, they won't need to rely on the power of the Sun Moon Empire at all. Their Holy Spirit Cult will only need to turn Douluo Continent into a paradise for their Evil Soul Master under the leadership of their Supreme Elder!
Thinking this, Zhongli Wu dragged Huo Yuhao toward Ye Xishui and said, "Elder, I've brought the person over. The rest is up to you. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that Zhongli Wu left, leaving Ye Xishui to continue enjoying her time alone.
Despite being the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and Ye Xishui's son, Zhongli Wu Zhongli Wu is well aware that Ye Xishui is the true peer of the Holy Spirit Cult, and she has absolutely no affection for her son.
However, this had little to do with him; it was mainly his father, the previous leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, who was behind it all.
However, Zhongli Wu was not worried that Ye Xishui would go mad and Destruction the Holy Spirit Cult. If she wanted to Destruction the Holy Spirit Cult, she would have done so long ago, but she never had such thoughts.
There is only one reason: in this Douluo Continent, only the Holy Spirit Cult accepts Ye Xishui, Evil Soul Master with the cultivation of Limit Douluo.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit Cult is her only home and her only refuge.
Without the Holy Spirit Cult Ye Xishui was a woman without a home or a place to call home; in short, she was a pitiful and lonely woman.
If Long Xiaoyao were still alive, there would be a slight possibility that he could be persuaded to give up the Holy Spirit Cult, and then the two of them could live together in anonymity.
But now that Long Xiaoyao is dead, Ye Xishui's desire to become a god will greatly increase, because legend has it that gods have the ability to bring people back to life. So, for Long Xiaoyao's sake, Ye Xishui will want to become a god even more.
The truth was pretty much what Zhongli Wu had thought, but there was one thing he overlooked: Ye Xishui 'Zhongli Wu resentment.
Because Long Xiaoyao died protecting her, Ye Xishui 'Spirit Contract Pagoda resentment towards Gu Yuena and the Spirit Contract Pagoda behind her was about to explode.
If her previous actions were purely driven by female jealousy, Ye Xishui is now consumed by hatred stemming from the murder of her lover.
Now, all she can think about is how, once she becomes a god, the first thing she'll do is cripple that person named Gu Yuena. She won't kill her, but will make her suffer hellish pain, making her wish for death but unable to. Only in this way can she whittle down the hatred in her heart.
As for the Spirit Contract Pagoda, it was also on Ye Xishui's kill list. Ye Xishui was quite envious of the technology called Soul Spirit, which, if used properly, could be used to enslave the entire Soul Beast Clan as henchmen.
Little did she know that even when she truly became a god, Gu Yuena would have already reached a realm that Ye Xishui could never attain in her lifetime. And the Spirit Contract Pagoda at that time was an insurmountable obstacle for her, so her revenge could only be carried out in her dreams.
It can be said that Ye Xishui is now completely dominated by the resentment in her heart, and it is no longer possible for her to think rationally about the problem.
This can be seen from the fact that she was holding Long Xiaoyao's body the whole time.
To others, she was just a pitiful woman who had lost her beloved, but in fact, Ye Xishui had been using her secret technique to preserve Long Xiaoyao's soul and then transform it into her most powerful vengeful spirit.
She deeply loved Long Xiaoyao, and it was precisely because of this that she could not accept his departure. So, in order to have him with her forever, she transformed his dissipating soul into her own vengeful spirit.
As for Long Xiaoyao's remains, Ye Xishui's plan was to turn them into a necromancer specifically to protect her.
One can only say whether it's bad luck or good fortune for Long Xiaoyao to fall in love with such a woman.
