The Progress of the Competition and the Holy Spirit Cult's Schemes

At that call of "Xingyu," Wang Dong'er rushed into the room and hugged Xu Xingyu tightly.

"Xingyu, you're finally back! Did you hear from your clone that we were dominating the tournament? We swept seven opponents in a row and even ended a team fight against seven opponents!"

Xu Xingyu could only helplessly pull his wife into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, gently stroking her long, wavy, light blue hair as he softly said, "Yes, I did receive the message. You did a great job."

Completely unaware that Wang Dong'er, whom she was holding in someone's arms, was sitting to the side, Gu Yuena sticking out her tongue and making faces, giving the impression of playing a prank and provoking someone.

He even mouthed something like, "Xingyu is mine now."

Gu Yuena simply smiled faintly and took a sip of tea. At this moment, she acted like an extremely magnanimous empress, turning a blind eye to Wang Dong'er's provocative behavior.

It gives people a sense of contempt, as if Xu Xingyu is mine, and you are just tools to make him more prolific, so I'm just lending him to you.

This infuriated Wang Dong'er. She used to be able to provoke Gu Yuena easily, but this time Gu Yuena seemed to have leveled up considerably. How was she going to ever steal the position of the main wife again?

While Wang Dong'er was waging a covert war against Gu Yuena, Xu Xingyu discovered Xu Yanxue, Gu Qiuxi, and Jiang Nannan behind Wang Dong'er.

To his surprise, Xu Jiujiu and Ma Xiaotao were also there. He remembered they should be at the Spirit Contract Pagoda headquarters in Shrek City; why were they suddenly in Mingdu?

Xu Jiujiu if seeing the doubt in Xu Xingyu's eyes, Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Xingyu, we came here with the other support personnel from headquarters because of the order you issued at the Mingdu Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"Yes, it's such an urgent matter, of course we have to come and see for ourselves." Ma Xiaotao nodded, her hands still clenching into fists, and added, "Besides, I haven't shown off my skills in a long time, it's really too boring not to find something to do."

Watching Ma Xiaotao's breasts sway with her high spirits, Xu Xingyu recalled the delicious taste of watermelon or peaches she used to eat.

In response, Gu Yuena and Wang Dong'er pinched his waist hard, making him feel a good pain.

Xu Xingyu also started to get serious and told the others present what he and Gu Yuena had investigated and discussed.

Upon hearing Xu Xingyu's account, the others present immediately frowned. Although they knew that Evil Soul Master were often insane, they had never seen anyone this insane.

Wang Dong'er was the first to break the silence, shouting, "These guys from the Holy Spirit Cult are really crazy! They actually dare to plant biological weapons in Mingdu! Even if the Sun Moon Empire is our enemy, we can't just sit idly by!"

It was fortunate that Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena had set up a barrier in the room beforehand, otherwise everyone in the entire corridor would have heard Wang Dong'er's angry roar.

But it's not entirely her fault; the Holy Spirit Cult's arrangement was truly outrageous and against all Heavenly Harmony.

Wang Dong'er was originally a Kindness girl who couldn't bear to see innocent people suffer. In addition, her Martial Soul itself possessed a strong Light Attribute, giving her an innate and heartfelt aversion to such dark Evil people.

Moreover, unlike her father, she genuinely wanted to fight to uphold the Sea God's belief in fighting for justice for the world.

Jiang Nannan, who came from a humble background, could empathize with this even more, and said solemnly, "This is simply digging their own grave. Aren't they afraid of being affected as well?"

Gu Yuena calmly analyzed, "Perhaps they have some way to protect themselves from being affected, or rather, they no longer care; as long as they can achieve their goals, the sacrifices are insignificant."

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu, who was the political figure in the family, also spoke up, "The problem is that if the Holy Spirit Cult does this, it will completely lose its foothold in the Douluo Continent."

"Originally, the Sun Moon Empire wanted to launch wars against the other three countries, which is why it cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult, Evil force full of Evil Soul Master, to strengthen its own nation."

"But now that the Holy Spirit Cult has committed such a treasonous act, the Sun Moon Empire will absolutely not let them get away with it."

"What are they pursuing that would drive them to destroy the only country that would take them in?"

"I don't know," Xu Xingyu shook her head. "We'll only know if we find and interrogate a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"By the way, Dong'er, could you talk to the Shrek students after the competition tomorrow? I'd like to use a Star Soul Clone to speak with them."

"Oh, about that," Wang Dong'er said as if she remembered something, "Shrek Academy mentioned after our first match that they wanted to talk to Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"That's perfect, I think I know roughly what they want to talk about."

Xu Xingyu then turned to Xu Jiujiu and said, "Jiujiu, as the former eldest princess of the Star Luo Empire, you should still have some connections, right?"

"Could you contact the people at the Star Luo Royal Academy and have them join this discussion? Also, do you have any way to get Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling to join as well?"

After Xu Jiujiu pause, he said with a hint of uncertainty, "I do have some connections in the Star Luo Empire that I can contact. It's just that Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul are more troublesome."

"Perhaps they didn't participate in this competition at all because they were too wary of the Sun Moon Empire's Heavenly Soul Royal Academy. And I don't know many people in the Dou Ling faction, plus I'm no longer the Star Luo Empire Princess, so they probably won't give me any face?"

Xu Xingyu then turned to Gu Yuena with a look, and Gu Yuena understood her lover's thoughts. She then handed a silver plaque with the words "Qi Ling" written on it to Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu took the sign and stared at it in disbelief, saying, "This is..."

Xu Xingyu picked up where she left off and said, "During this competition, you'll act as the acting tower master of the Qiling Tower in Mingdu. With that title, they probably won't dare to make things difficult for you."

"If anyone dares to make things difficult for my wife, then we won't give them any face and will directly expel Dou Ling from this plan."

"As for Heavenly Soul, you don't need to worry. They did participate in this competition, but they did so under assumed names."

"If I'm not mistaken, that so-called Snow Demon Sect is actually the Heavenly Soul Empire's participating team."

"The Snow Demon Sect?" Xu Jiujiu tilted her head and asked. In her understanding, this sect wasn't particularly outstanding. Why would Heavenly Soul choose the Snow Demon Sect as a cover?

Fortunately, Xu Xingyu provided the answer, "It's called the Snow Demon Sect, but it's actually the Body Sect. After all, many people don't know that the Snow Demon Sect is actually a subordinate force of the Body Sect, and the Body Sect has become the state religion of the Heavenly Soul Empire in recent years."

"Therefore, it is quite normal for the Body Sect to choose the Snow Demon Sect as a cover and to bring glory to the Heavenly Soul Empire."
