Undercurrents Stirring
After watching the memory images, Xu Xingyu felt a chill.
It seems the Holy Spirit Cult is planning something big in this Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.
It's clear that this potion is intended by the Holy Spirit Cult to enhance the effects of some other potion; it's just unclear what kind of potion they intend to enhance.
"If it's poison, then it means they intend to poison someone or a group of people. Could this be a conspiracy against our Spirit Contract Pagoda?" Xu Xingyu muttered to herself as she analyzed.
After all, the current achievements of the Spirit Contract Pagoda have made Xu Tianran start to consider whether to change partners.
Of course, it's also possible that it's specifically targeting Shrek Academy. It's worth noting that these two organizations are currently the most vocal in their attacks against Evil Soul Master.
Xu Xingyu had no particular feelings about the Shrek Academy. Whether they existed or not, as long as they didn't disgust him, he was willing to treat them like air.
However, considering Ma Xiaotao's loyalty to Shrek Academy, Xu Xingyu also had to keep an eye on Shrek.
At most, he could only confirm that they hadn't been wiped out; his feelings for Shrek weren't deep enough for him to help them at any time.
The only problem is that Shrek is gone, so their Spirit Contract Pagoda has fewer places to recruit disciples, but that's not a big deal.
Returning to the previous point, if this potion isn't a poison, but rather used to enhance something, then it seems very strange.
Although the Holy Spirit Cult lost Long Xiaoyao, a Limit Douluo, another Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui, still exists.
As long as the Holy Spirit Cult has one Limit Douluo guarding them, no organization other than the Spirit Contract Pagoda will dare to attack them.
It's possible that because Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were brutally beaten by Gu Yuena in Shrek City, the Holy Spirit Cult became extremely wary of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, which is why they wanted to strengthen themselves at all costs.
The truth will only be known after finding the drug or relevant information about it.
"Sigh, this is such a hassle." Xu Xingyu sighed.
At this moment, Gu Yuena said, "I checked this person's remaining memories, but the Holy Spirit Cult's security measures are very tight. Apart from the part we just heard, it seems that the remaining memories about the potion were extracted beforehand."
"They took it away?" Xu Xingyu frowned. "So cautious? It seems this potion is very important to their Holy Spirit Cult."
"Yes, that's true." Gu Yuena nodded, then said with some concern, "But what I find strange is, if they're so cautious, why would they specifically leave this memory behind?"
"Stay?" Xu Xingyu looked at Gu Yuena with a puzzled expression. "I thought it was a memory you pieced together from fragments of remaining memories."
Gu Yuena shook her head and said, "No, this memory was simply hidden. And not in a very sophisticated way. Although it took some time, it wasn't too difficult to find."
Xu Xingyu recalled the map from her memory. The markings on the map were very clear, with each important place surrounded by a large red circle.
If Gu Yuena hadn't mentioned this memory issue, Xu Xingyu might have directly explored the locations marked on the map with Gu Yuena.
However, in retrospect, that location on the map is very likely a trap.
This further proves that what the Holy Spirit Cult is trying to hide must be seriously problematic.
"Since that's the case, we might as well play along," Xu Xingyu said.
With a wave of his hand, three figures that looked exactly like Xu Xingyu appeared. This was the power of Xu Xingyu's eighth Soul Skill — Star Soul Clone.
This time, Xu Xingyu set the cultivation level of his three clones to the Titled Douluo level, and maintained their physical and mental states at the Titled Douluo level as well. Under his command, the three clones received the three coordinates transmitted by Xu Xingyu and directly used Power of Space to teleport to the designated locations for investigation.
Needless to say, the coordinates Xu Xingyu provided were the same coordinates shown on the map she remembered.
After observing Xu Xingyu's actions, Gu Yuena said, "Since you plan to have your Star Soul Clone investigate those three coordinates, what should we do next? Just wait here, or take this opportunity to investigate the Holy Spirit Team directly?"
Xu Xingyu shook her head and said, "The Holy Spirit Team will be investigated by the Star Soul Clone I left behind in our Spirit Contract Team. We, on the other hand, need to investigate a more important person."
"An even more important person?" After a moment's thought, Gu Yuena suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Could it be Xu Tianran?"
However, Xu Xingyu shook her head. "Xu Tianran is indeed someone to be investigated, but before that, you forgot there's another person who's also somewhat suspicious."
"There's one more person? Who is it?" Gu Yuena pouted, starting to feel a little unhappy with Xu Xingyu's cryptic behavior.
Seeing this, Xu Xingyu chuckled and explained, "Have you forgotten the person who recommended Blue Poison? Ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, he's the most famous Ferocious Beast on the entire continent, second only to Di Tian. An 800,000-year-old Soul Beast, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, the Evil Emperor."
"What?! It's actually the Evil Emperor!!!" Gu Yuena said in disbelief, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the Evil Emperor?"
It's no wonder Gu Yuena hadn't thought of it. After all, Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena are theoretically the current rulers of the Soul Beast Soul Beast Clan, and under their leadership, all the Soul Beast on the continent revere them.
After the Sea God Godhood became Xu Xingyu's subordinate deity God Position, the Sea Soul Beast living in the depths of the ocean also had to obey Xu Xingyu's call.
If the Evil Emperor was truly involved in this matter, wouldn't that mean he had been planning a rebellion for a long time?
It can't be that the Evil Emperor harbored resentment towards the Dragon Clan simply because he broke into the Star Dou Great Forest thousands of years ago to try and steal the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, only to be repelled by Di Tian.
That time, Di Tian directly withstood the Evil Emperor's Light of Time and Space, and it took him quite a while to recover. Can't we just let it go like this?
Of course, Gu Yuena also understood that it was just a joke. It was normal for the Evil Emperor to have resentment towards the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian, and even herself.
After all, the Evil Emperor is Soul Beast that primarily cultivates Spiritual Power. If he successfully devours the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he may very well become an existence surpassing Di Tian.
It's normal for him to feel some resentment because he missed this opportunity due to Di Tian.
The question is, what kind of righteousness does the Evil Emperor possess? No matter how powerful the Evil Emperor is, his cultivation level is only at the Limit Douluo level.
There was no way to threaten Gu Yuena, a God Level being, while Xu Xingyu, although not God Level cultivator, was already capable of fighting against Third-Level God or even Second-Level God.
Of course, since Xu Xingyu herself is not flamboyant, it is normal for the Evil Emperor to make a misjudgment because he did not know Xu Xingyu's true combat strength.
But surely he didn't know what level of cultivation Gu Yuena, who was almost inseparable from Xu Xingyu, possessed?
Knowing this disparity, yet still daring to do such a thing—does the Evil Emperor possess a trump card capable of threatening God Level?
