Chapter 274 No good banquet
Demonic Forest, headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Although it was daytime and the sun shone through the gaps in the trees, the place still looked eerie and gloomy. Countless vengeful spirits gathered here and wailed in pain, making the temperature around them a little colder.
In a secret room, the majestic energy of heaven and earth was constantly surging. Outside the secret room, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao was looking at the door of the secret room with a frown.
When his cultivation reached the realm of Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, he also touched the boundary of this world. This world did not allow people with higher cultivation to appear, and suppressed soul masters like him and prevented them from making further progress.
Unless you use other means to reach a bigger world.
This method has another name, becoming a god.
And in that secret room, Ye Xishui was trying to master a higher level of power. She was different from Moon.
As both of them are Extreme Douluo, Moon had long lost the possibility of making further progress due to his injuries, but Ye Xishui was in her prime, and she had tried to break through the limitations of the plane more than once.
I just don’t know if it’s because the means she obtained were just some fragments and were not complete, or for some other reason, but despite trying many times, she still didn’t get any results.
After a while, the door of the secret room finally opened, and Ye Xishui walked out with a tired look on his face.
Long Xiaoyao waited until the fluctuations of her soul power gradually subsided before he took a step forward and came to Ye Xishui's side.
"How about this time?"
Ye Xishui just shook his head.
"By the way, during the time you were in seclusion, Xu Tianran sent someone to deliver an invitation, saying that the prince was going to hold a ceremony to become a disciple, and he wanted you to attend the ceremony. Calculating the date, it will be in the next few days."
"Humph." Ye Xishui snorted coldly, "He has been avoiding us since the end of the war. He took the initiative to invite us this time. I'm afraid it will be a bad feast."
"Yes, we lost the last war..."
Long Xiaoyao glanced at Ye Xishui when he said this. Ye Xishui's child, Zhongli Wu, died in the war.
However, Ye Xishui's expression did not change when she heard this. Although Zhongli Wu was her child, she did not like this child who was forced to be born. After his death, Ye Xishui seemed to have broken free from her shackles and no longer cared about the affairs of the Holy Spirit Church, but only focused on seeking a breakthrough.
However, Long Xiaoyao did not continue to dwell on this matter. "This time it may be related to the Dongyang City incident. Before, the Holy Spirit Church had done some actions in Dongyang City without Xu Tianran's knowledge. Unexpectedly, they were finally exposed by the people of the Xingluo Empire."
"Xingluo Empire?" Ye Xishui raised her eyes and asked, "Is it the child you showed mercy to last time?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Long Xiaoyao laughed, "Although I held back, the child's strength is indeed extraordinary."
Ye Xishui nodded in agreement, "Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who can fight against that thing in Dongyang City."
"And that kid has a good relationship with Moon." Long Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and laughed.
"You just said that the prince took a disciple. Who did he take as his disciple?" Ye Xishui paused slightly after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, she asked other questions.
"Kong Deming."
"It turned out to be that old fellow."
"Since Xu Tianran dared to invite us to the banquet, I'm afraid that old guy has made a breakthrough."
"Humph, this is a demonstration." Ye Xishui's eyes flashed with disdain, and she walked out first. An idea flashed through Long Xiaoyao's mind, but he smiled and shook his head, and followed.
Even if Kong Deming breaks through, the Sun-Moon Empire won't be so arrogant as to deal with two Ultimate Douluos at the same time.
……
The news of the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire becoming Kong Deming's apprentice soon spread like wildfire. Even for those who didn't know Kong Deming, it was easy to understand what the words "Father of Soul Guidance Devices" meant.
The entire palace was decorated as if for a festival and was much more lively than usual.
Those who attended the Prince's apprenticeship banquet were naturally soul masters who possessed soul power. Among them there were even dozens of ninth-level soul masters including the current Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen.
The evening's banquet was a little different from what Ye Xishui had expected. Xu Tianran seemed the same as usual, without showing any other expression. He even smiled and raised his glass from a distance from time to time.
After three rounds of drinks, Orange, who had been sitting next to Xu Tianran, nodded slightly at him.
"Mr. Ye has worked really hard for the Holy Spirit Church."
coming.
Ye Xishui's eyes moved slightly. This was the first time Xu Tianran mentioned the Holy Spirit Church. Everyone present had a high status and they knew who the people in the Holy Spirit Church were. Xu Tianran brought it up so bluntly, so he was probably going to bring up other things next.
As expected, the smile on Xu Tianran's face gradually disappeared. "It's just that I heard that the Holy Spirit Church has been secretly collecting souls. At that time, my empire's soldiers fought desperately on the battlefield, but their souls were in the hands of the Holy Spirit Church. If it weren't for the incident in Dongyang City some time ago, I'm afraid you would still be keeping me in the dark."
Ye Xishui glanced at the righteous Xu Tianran. Without his secret instructions, how could the actions of the Holy Spirit Church be so smooth.
"Oh? I haven't asked about the affairs of the church for a long time, but I have heard that everyone in the Holy Spirit Church is working for Your Majesty. I'm afraid this matter is inconsistent with what Your Majesty said, right?"
Xu Tianran was naturally very clear about the facts. He spoke first just as an excuse. Now that everything was ready, he didn't want to say more to Ye Xishui. After all, some of the things he did did not stand up to scrutiny.
If he continued talking about how he had used the Holy Spirit Church to seize the throne of Crown Prince, there would probably be more trouble.
So Xu Tianran glanced sideways.
A ninth-level soul master immediately slammed the table and said, "Ye Xishui, you have killed countless civilians in my empire. With such behavior, how can the empire keep you?"
As he spoke, the soul guide came to Xu Tianran and bowed, "I beg your Majesty to order us to eliminate this disaster for the empire."
"Your Majesty, please give the order." As soon as these words were spoken, there was a wave of echoes from the banquet.
Long Xiaoyao's eyes changed, and the soul power in his body surged, ready to go.
Judging from the situation, it was not just a simple matter of accountability. He did not expect that the thought that flashed through his mind before he set off would actually come true, and Xu Tianran actually wanted to attack them.
Ye Xishui also had a bad look in her eyes. She looked around, but she was not too panicked. Although she did not bring soul guides like the Death God Tower with her, with the power of two Extreme Douluos, she did not think Xu Tianran could really keep them.
"Master Ye, this is the last time I will address you this way. I have to think about the common people of the world. The Holy Spirit Church cannot be allowed to stay."
