Chapter 400: Not a trace of a demonic soul master's spirit; Nanali, taking full advantage.
Meanwhile, in the Tower Master's office on the 100th floor of the Spirit Pagoda, the entire room was completely enveloped by a top-level isolation barrier.
Tall and imposing with a somewhat sinister look, Qian Gu Dongfeng was staring intently at the communication device on the table in front of him.
He suppressed the raging anger within him and asked in a deep voice, "Ghost Emperor, what exactly does your Holy Spirit Cult mean? We had already agreed to take action during the All-Federation Grand Competition."
Why didn't we follow our initial agreement to create chaos during the competition and seize the opportunity to kill Leng Yaozhu?
The ancient east wind was now trembling with rage.
Recalling his time in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had intended to show off his skills, but unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat when facing Di Tian, who even severed his right arm.
That battle not only severely damaged his vitality, but also eliminated his chances of breaking through to become a quasi-god in his lifetime.
That wasn't all; what made him even more uneasy was that the situation in various parts of Douluo Continent had been changing rapidly and becoming increasingly unpredictable during this period.
The Tianfeng family, which had been suppressed for so long, somehow bypassed the Spirit Pagoda and established a deep strategic partnership with the Federation's top leadership.
Even those federal dignitaries who had previously maintained good relations with the Qian Gu family and exchanged benefits are now intentionally or unintentionally distancing themselves from him.
Under these successive blows, his position as the master of the Spirit Pagoda has become precarious.
It was in this desperate situation that he finally made up his mind to secretly cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult, using a god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon as a bargaining chip.
His sole purpose in making the deal was to get those evil spirit masters from the Holy Spirit Cult to intervene and completely crush Leng Yaozhu, who had been eyeing the position of the Spirit Pagoda Master and was currently gaining momentum.
In his view, although Leng Yaozhu's sister held the high position of Holy Maiden of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, she had long since left the circle of the Tianfeng family.
As soon as Leng Yaozhu dies, the Tianfeng family will immediately fall into chaos with no leader.
At that time, with just a little effort, the crisis of becoming the tower master will naturally be resolved.
To Qian Gu Dongfeng's utter surprise, after taking away the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, this group of evil soul masters simply disappeared.
The entire Federation competition proceeded smoothly without any sign of attack from evil spirit masters, let alone the killing of Leng Yaozhu.
After a long while, a somewhat bland, even slightly disengaged, voice came from the other end of the communication device.
"Qian Gu, why are you so anxious and agitated? You know how fiercely the Federal military has been cracking down on our Holy Spirit Cult lately, like mad dogs."
During this period, several of our well-hidden strongholds were wiped out by them. Under these circumstances, we naturally cannot make too much noise at this critical juncture and invite a military crackdown.
"Ghost Emperor, what kind of nonsense are you spouting to fool a three-year-old?"
Qian Gu Dongfeng could no longer suppress his anger. He slammed his hand on the desk and roared into the communicator:
"You are evil spirit masters, yet you are still afraid of this and that. Do you have even a little bit of the spirit that evil spirit masters should have?"
Since our deal has failed and you have failed to keep your promise, return that god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell to me immediately!
In any case, without the multiple unlocking passwords and core activation instructions that I will provide later, your Holy Spirit Cult will have absolutely no use for it, even if you have it.
"Be careful, one day a misoperation might detonate right in your own base and blow you all to smithereens."
Qian Gu Dongfeng was naturally not foolish enough to hand over a god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell to the Holy Spirit Cult without any reservations.
In his original plan, he even intended to succeed in the Holy Spirit Cult and, after confirming Leng Yaozhu's death, immediately turn on her and use her as a tool to kill her, taking back the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon from these evil soul masters.
Despite Qian Gu Dongfeng's insults and threats, the Ghost Emperor remained calm and composed, replying, "Don't worry, Qian Gu. We evil spirit masters value integrity above all else in business."
Once this period of tension has passed and we have made all the necessary arrangements, we will naturally send the Dark King to help you kill that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
Besides, if you look at it from another angle, the fact that we didn't directly disrupt the Federation Grand Tournament this time is actually a lucky accident. Otherwise, if the competition had descended into chaos, the tournament would definitely have been forced to stop.
How could you possibly have the chance to witness the spectacular scene of Shrek Academy, which has always prided itself on being the best in the world, being utterly defeated by the Star Luo Empire in front of everyone?
This has greatly damaged Shrek's reputation, which is actually beneficial to you.
So during this time, just eat well, sleep well, and wait patiently. Perhaps before long, your long-cherished wish will become a reality.
As he continued, the Ghost Emperor let out a series of sinister laughs, which were extremely eerie and sent chills down one's spine.
Before Qian Gu Dongfeng could react and ask for more specific details, the communication was unilaterally cut off by the Ghost Emperor.
Looking at the communication device that was stuck in a busy signal, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt a sudden chill run down his spine for some reason.
It was as if the whole situation had completely spiraled out of his control, and he had unknowingly become a clown on stage for people to amuse themselves.
Meanwhile, deep underground in Tiandou City, in a secret room of an armory.
The Ghost Emperor, who had just hung up the communication device, turned to the gray-clad man sitting in the main seat and reported with utmost respect:
"Sect Master, that self-righteous fool Qian Gu Dong Feng thinks he can control us, but he's just a pawn in our hands and nothing to be afraid of."
Currently, all our arrangements are progressing smoothly, and the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided shell has been handed over to the research department for deciphering and reverse engineering.
I believe that with their capabilities, they will soon be able to use it freely. At that time, we will be able to use it to easily blast open the abyss passage that has been heavily guarded by the Blood God Legion.
At this point, the Ghost Emperor became even more agitated, his eyes burning with a ghostly green soul fire, and the chilling aura emanating from his body not only did not subside but grew even stronger.
"Furthermore, in accordance with the Holy Emperor's decree, the Dark Blood Demon and I, with the full cooperation of the Abyss Holy Lord's secret technique, have completed the refining of the forbidden pill that can erode the soul and bloodline."
If we can find an opportunity to let Yun Ming secretly consume it, he will surely become the perfect vessel for the Holy Monarch to descend upon the Douluo plane in the future.
"But I don't know how we can get Yunming to take it without him knowing."
Although the Holy Spirit Cult also had a plan to infiltrate Shrek Academy, it had little effect.
Even Dark Bell, who finally became the vice dean of the outer academy, would probably need to honestly accumulate decades of experience before she could be included in the evaluation scope of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
Under these circumstances, it is virtually impossible to expect her to get close to Yun Ming, or even to get Yun Ming to swallow the forbidden pill without any precautions.
Harosa, whose fingers were gently tapping on the armrest of the chair, paused slightly upon hearing this.
Then, without any emotional fluctuation, he coldly replied, "Don't ask questions about things that aren't your concern. Just do your own job."
Now that news has spread that Shrek Academy is about to be forcibly swallowed up and reorganized by the Federation, various forces are already stirring up trouble, and naturally some people are more anxious than we are.
"And our earthly divine kingdom, which we have painstakingly planned for many years, will soon be fully born on this Douluo Continent under the guidance of the Holy Emperor! At that time, you and I will be able to obtain near-eternal lifespans."
The Ghost Emperor lowered his head even further and replied respectfully, "Yes, Sect Master, I understand. We will certainly follow the Holy Emperor's instructions without the slightest negligence."
……
Time flies, and almost another month has passed quietly.
Inside a tastefully decorated private room in a café on the outskirts of Shrek City.
"Master, ah~"
Nanali held a small silver fork with a beautifully presented little cake stuck in it, and with a coquettish expression, she made a move to feed it to the slightly lazy blond boy next to her.
And she couldn't suppress the smug smile on her face.
It's no wonder that Nanali was behaving so intimately; the group of girls were still trapped in the valley undergoing the Qiankun Wenqing Valley Divine Trial, which was not yet over.
The two ferocious beasts, Zi Ji and Bi Ji, naturally remained in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, waiting for Gu Yue to finish his divine test, and dared not leave.
As for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, in order to avoid any awkward situations, they also said goodbye and left early, and went back to check on Tang Wutong's recovery.
And to this day, the owner still maintains his blond hair.
This also indirectly shows that the biggest threat to her, Ya Li, is that she can only be in a state of fusion with her master's spirit and cannot be separated.
In this situation, only she, Nanali, could be alone with her master openly and honestly, and they could be intimate as they pleased. This feeling was simply too good to be true.
Huo Yuhao leaned back on the sofa, his mind almost blank as he accepted Nanali's attentive feeding.
He originally thought that after he absorbed a large amount of immortal spiritual energy contained in Qiankun Wenqing Valley with the help of the Dragon God's remains, he would be able to offset the severe backlash from forcibly using the power of creation.
But reality often doesn't go as planned.
In the past six months, he has absorbed and integrated nearly 70% of the immortal spiritual energy in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
He could clearly feel that the weakness caused by the backlash had ended, but he still couldn't break the fusion of his martial souls with Ya Li.
A more direct feeling is that the Destruction Godhead within one's own body is desperately trying to capture the Life Godhead brought by Yali, attempting to completely merge it into one through the fundamental mutual generation and restraint.
Fortunately, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him has only broken the sixth layer of seal and has not been fully released, so the core authority of the Destruction Godhead cannot be fully exerted.
That's how, with a close call, he managed to avoid completely devouring the life essence that had merged into his body.
Even so, this dangerous state cannot last long.
After successfully resolving the remaining issues regarding the Spirit Pagoda, I'll probably need to set off immediately for Devil's Island.
He wanted to meet the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life in person and see if they knew how to resolve his current predicament.
Fortunately, the seclusion of more than half a year was not entirely without gains.
Although he used most of the immortal spiritual energy he absorbed to offset the initial depletion of his original essence and the backlash from using the power of creation multiple times afterward.
However, this celestial energy is the foundation of divine power, and its energy level far surpasses that of the soul power in the lower realm.
This also caused Huo Yuhao's soul power cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds in the past six months.
Given the Demon Eye's ability to condense its own soul rings, there is no doubt that its soul power level has reached the level of a Soul Douluo.
In fact, it was only to leave Ning Rongrong some wealth so that she could maintain the normal operation of Qiankun Wenqing Valley that the immortal spiritual energy was not completely absorbed.
At the same time, it avoids breaking through its own soul power too quickly, which would cause the seal on the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to be unable to withstand the pressure, leading to a further release of the bloodline suppression.
With the energy that he released when absorbing the Dragon God's remains and devouring immortal spiritual energy, he could probably break through to the Super Douluo level in one go.
With the strong physical foundation already laid by the Dragon Core and even the remains of the Dragon God, he had no need to worry about the instability of his foundation that might result from the rapid advancement of his soul power cultivation during this period.
Although neither the Spirit Eye nor the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul has yet obtained its seventh Soul Ring due to the limitations imposed on Soul Rings by the Soul Spirit's own innate abilities.
But this also gave Huo Yuhao the space to think about what new soul spirits he should contract with each of them.
After all, a Soul Master's seventh Soul Ring is fixed as the Martial Soul True Body, and its power is directly related to the Soul Ring's age.
Knowing that he would soon be facing the Abyss Saint King, Tang Hao who had been stirring up trouble in the shadows, and even the God King Tang San who was eyeing him from another world.
Faced with these formidable enemies, Huo Yuhao naturally had to carefully consider his upcoming Martial Soul True Body.
If it weren't for the fact that Ning Rongrong had already squandered most of the immortal spiritual energy she had painstakingly accumulated over nearly a thousand years during her more than six months of seclusion...
He even considered indulging in a bit of luxury and creating two divinely bestowed soul rings that perfectly matched his own attributes, thus saving himself the trouble of finding suitable soul spirits.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt another wave of trouble, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
This slight movement caused Nanali, who had been happily playing a sweet little game of taking turns eating, completely immersed in their world, to slightly lose her aim with the fork.
This resulted in some cake cream that hadn't been put into his mouth sticking directly to the corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth, a small, white blob that was particularly eye-catching.
Realizing her "mistake," Nanali wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, her eyes lit up, and she naturally brought her little head closer to lick the cream off Huo Yuhao's lips.
Finally, he gave Huo Yuhao a satisfied kiss on the lips, taking full advantage of the situation.
