Leng Yulai, hearing these discussions, crossed her arms and coldly said, "Hmph, now that the whole Xingluo Empire has our spies, dealing with these ministers is simply effortless! There's no need for any discussion!"
Vice Sect Leader Halosa also nodded slightly and agreed, "Indeed, even if the Xingluo Empire sent them on purpose to mislead us, it would only result in their needless deaths!"
Currently, the Xingluo Empire has only two Ultimate Douluos, and the other Hyper Douluos and Titled Douluos can't pose a threat to the Holy Spirit Cult at all!
Nanali glanced at the two with her beautiful eyes and offered a completely different suggestion...
"In my opinion, we should refrain from taking action against these ministers. Once they are all assassinated, I'm afraid the Xingluo Empire will go to war with the Holy Spirit Cult,"
Leng Yulai, hearing this, was visibly displeased and said, "Nanali, are you afraid? Afraid of a mere counterattack from the Xingluo Empire?"
This woman is so timid, why did she even join the Holy Spirit Cult? What a waste of the title of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Nanali merely glanced at her, expressionless, and explained, "It's not fear on my part; I'm thinking for the Holy Spirit Cult. Our focus is currently on releasing the creatures from the abyss. As for Xingluo Empire, it's best to avoid provoking them for now."
"Otherwise, facing enemies on two fronts might affect the progress of our plan!"
Her joining the Holy Spirit Cult was purely out of interest; she dislikes being bound by anyone!
However, to Leng Yulai, this seemed nothing more than an excuse, "Ha... A coward, indeed!"
Halosa, who had been watching coldly, finally spoke up and scolded, "Enough, your personal grievances should be settled privately, don't bring it to the stage!!"
Although the Holy Spirit Cult doesn't have the word "unity," it also doesn't allow for significant conflicts!
After a pause, he added, "Besides, the Sect Hierarch has not returned yet, so the Holy Spirit Cult should remain inactive for now, and not attack those Xingluo Empire ministers!"
Upon hearing this, the two responded in unison, "Yes, Vice Sect Leader!"
Soon after, everyone except Nanali and the Demon Emperor turned and left...
At this moment, the former's gaze finally turned to the latter, who had remained silent...
If observed carefully, one would notice her eyes had become clear...
Nanali smiled as she spoke, "Lord Demon Emperor, it seems the Sect Hierarch hasn't realized you are no longer under his control!"
The Demon Emperor moved mechanically, his tone indifferent, "Hmm, I haven't let myself completely escape control, otherwise, that fellow Ghost Emperor would probably not dare return to the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Spending years and using despicable means to control me.
This "gift" must be reciprocated!
Nanali's tone gradually turned serious, "Then how do you plan to deal with the Ghost Emperor? If Vice Sect Leader and Leng Yulai intervene, I'm afraid..."
Although the Demon Emperor holds the greatest strength in the Holy Spirit Cult, it still won't suffice against the three of them combined!
The Demon Emperor seemed to catch the underlying meaning and raised an eyebrow, "Oh? From your tone, you don't intend to help me?"
Nanali chuckled lightly, "If I help you, Lord Demon Emperor, wouldn't that expose what I've been doing? Besides, I have no desire to get involved in this affair! I'm merely loyal to my interests!"
The Demon Emperor pressed his thin lips, "If that's the case, then I'll have to act against the Ghost Emperor when Halosa and Leng Yulai aren't around!"
Halosa and Leng Yao are just fence-sitters. After I eliminate the Ghost Emperor, I can still make them follow my commands!
Nanali's beautiful eyes flickered, and she suggested, "Hmm... regarding this matter, I can help!"
The Demon Emperor turned his back slowly and said calmly, "Nanali, once I kill the Ghost Emperor, you'll be the Vice Sect Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Although she is not truly human, at least in the entire Holy Spirit Cult, she is the only one who hasn't betrayed me!
...
In the Douling Empire, at the Soul Guidance Device Research Institute...
Here, gathered all the Soul Masters of the Douling Empire, totaling about a hundred people!
However, due to their crude understanding of soul tools, even with abundant resources, they cannot utilize them effectively...
At this moment, a Disciple of the Tang Sect Soul Guidance Hall, dressed in black attire, was patiently instructing them...
Yet, even when starting from the most basic questions, the Soul Masters of the Douling Empire seemed lost...
One of the Tang Sect Members covered his forehead in frustration and lamented, "No, we can't teach them. Their understanding of soul tools remains at a point from tens of thousands of years ago!"
Another Tang Sect Member also showed a pained expression and said, "Indeed, they've never undergone systematic learning. They're all just amateurs. In my view, not a single person here is a qualified Soul Master!"
"Just how thoroughly has the Douluo Federation locked down soul guidance technology? This Douling Empire... it's pitiful!"
"I can understand now why Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Douluo Empire is willing to exchange so many resources for the core technology of soul tools!"
"I have to report to the emperor of the Douling Empire to see if there are any other Soul Masters. Teaching them will take years at least!"
Hearing these words, the Soul Masters clenched their fists, but none of them argued back...
Because they knew very well that these Tang Sect Members had been very meticulous in their teaching...
If they couldn't learn even from this, it's entirely their stupidity!
Just then, a voice echoed throughout the institute, "His Majesty the Emperor arrives!"
Upon this announcement, Xue Yuntian, accompanied by an elder, stepped inside...
Seeing the former, the Tang Sect Members bent over and respectfully said, "Your Majesty the Emperor!"
As for the Soul Masters, they bowed their heads in shame...
Xue Yuntian frowned slightly, "What is going on with them..."
The leading Tang Sect Member apologized with a full face, "Apologies, Your Majesty the Emperor, we've tried our best. No matter how we teach, they can't grasp the core technologies of soul tools!"
After hearing this, Xue Yuntian glanced sideways at the Soul Masters and pondered, "I see... Our Douling Empire's foundation in soul tools is indeed weak, these Soul Masters haven't undergone systematic education!"
"Therefore, they can't understand more advanced knowledge..."
After pausing for a moment, he decisively said, "In that case, I'll extend the timeframe, allowing the Tang Sect Members to teach from the most basic level, starting from scratch. How does that sound?"
Upon these words, the Tang Sect Members were overjoyed...
Their biggest concern had been time, because initially, the requirement was for the Soul Masters of the Douling Empire to be able to manufacture soul tools within a month!
Now with relaxed conditions, everything becomes much simpler!
At least there won't be too much pressure, allowing for better manufacturing!
