'So they really don't care about the lives of these people, and are even willing to see them become nourishment for Tang Ya to grow stronger?'
Huo Yuhao's peripheral vision glanced at Zhongli Wu at the Holy Spirit Church's battle preparation area and immediately sensed what this guy was thinking.
Or rather, Huo Yuhao had already suspected from the very beginning that such a situation might occur.
The Holy Spirit Church was originally a faction composed of evil soul masters; expecting them to have any cohesion was pure fantasy.
At present, the Holy Spirit Church hadn't expanded too much yet. Otherwise, given the way these people operated, internal conflict would have broken out long ago.
Now, watching the participants of the Holy Spirit Church being killed one by one by Tang Ya, and seeing them absorb their vitality and life force thanks to the properties of the Dark Blue Silver Grass, Zhongli Wu remained completely indifferent—this was perfectly normal.
Only, Tang Ya had already become Huo Yuhao's form without Zhongli Wu knowing.
Since Zhongli Wu had no intention of letting the Holy Spirit Church admit defeat, Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't show an ounce of mercy, using the master-servant contract to communicate with Tang Ya.
"Begin. Absorb all their life force and soul power completely."
Hearing the voice in his mind, a faint golden light flashed in Tang Ya's eyes, and she responded immediately.
"Understood, Master."
With Tang Ya's response, a bizarre scene unfolded in this year's Soul Master Tournament semifinals.
The participants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Device Academy stood motionless in place, watching with amusement as the seven members of the Holy Spirit Church began killing each other.
Below the stage, besides Zhongli Wu and Zhang Peng, were Wanqun Douluo and others.
Both the audience and the sects and academies that hadn't yet left the Sun Moon Empire instinctively clenched their fists, hoping to see these damned evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church annihilated through mutual slaughter.
"Finally, these damned evil soul masters are being punished."
"No matter if it's Shrek Academy or others, they can't be relied upon. These arrogant evil soul masters, when facing Huo Yuhao, only have one road—death."
"What does it mean to be a peerless genius? This is the true peerless genius."
"That's not entirely correct. Anyone who qualifies for the top four is a genius. Only being a genius grants one the right to face Huo Yuhao."
"But even so, Huo Yuhao makes everyone understand that the gap between people is something that cannot be easily bridged."
No one could comprehend why Huo Yuhao possessed such terrifying talent.
Yet everyone recognized one reality: in the history of the entire Douluo Continent, even among the Shrek Seven who became gods ten thousand years ago, no one's talent could compare to Huo Yuhao's.
From this moment on, Huo Yuhao and the Sun Moon Empire had become an unstoppable force!
'It seems it's also time for me to consider what to do next.'
Most of the high-ranking members of sects and academies present had the same thought in their minds.
Huo Yuhao's terrifying talent, combined with the overall strength of the Sun Moon Empire, made them fully realize the reality.
They truly had to reconsider whether to continue advancing together with the original Three Douluo Kingdoms.
After all, in such a decision that affects the future, a wrong choice could mean that longstanding powers would completely vanish into history.
This consequence was something no one wanted to face.
Even the sect master of the Main Sect, Du Busi, felt the same way.
Du Busi remained silent for a long time, but eventually couldn't help it. He turned to look at Vina, the princess of the Tianhun Empire, and her bodyguard, speaking in a low tone:
"The situation of the Tianhun Empire is becoming increasingly difficult. Perhaps after this Soul Master Tournament ends, the Sun Moon Empire, which has been lying low for five full years, will finally unveil its fangs."
"Are you ready, Tianhun Empire?"
Hearing this, Vina and her bodyguard's spirits plummeted, filled with sorrow for the fate of the Tianhun Empire.
Vina's bodyguard's eyes flickered as he looked at Du Busi and asked:
"Sect Master Du Busi, as the main sect of the Tianhun Empire's state religion, you won't abandon the Tianhun Empire to join the Sun Moon Empire, will you?"
Several Main Sect members around them immediately grew furious, wanting to confront this bodyguard.
But before they could, Du Busi raised a hand to stop them.
With an indifferent gaze, Du Busi looked at her and said coldly, without a trace of emotion:
"From the beginning, our Main Sect and your Tianhun Empire have had a cooperative relationship. In this cooperation, we helped you deal with the Holy Spirit Church—what have you done for the Main Sect?"
"Even if I truly led the Main Sect to join the Sun Moon Empire, what standing or qualification do you have to criticize us?"
"Let me remind you, don't assume everyone owes you. The last one who thought this way, Shrek Academy, was already ruined and on the brink of destruction."
Du Busi's merciless words made the bodyguard's face change drastically.
Although the Tianhun Empire hadn't really benefited the Main Sect and had even caused some casualties in the conflict with the Holy Spirit Church, most high-ranking members of the Tianhun Empire still felt the Main Sect owed them.
It can only be said that Shrek Academy caused great harm, and others naturally learned from their way of handling matters.
Fortunately, Vina was clear-headed. Before her bodyguard could say anything further, she quickly looked apologetically at Du Busi.
"Apologies, Sect Master. Because it involves the survival of the Tianhun Empire, Madam Snake got a little emotional. Please don't take her words to heart."
Du Busi looked at Vina deeply and shook his head slightly.
"Rest assured, I'm not going to argue over such matters with her."
"But don't ignore what I said before. You'd better be mentally prepared for the Sun Moon Empire striking the Tianhun Empire. With their current overall strength, the Sun Moon Empire will never remain idle."
Vina nodded heavily, signaling that she understood.
Even without Du Busi's warning, Vina knew the Sun Moon Empire would never give up the chance to unify the continent.
Although she didn't want a war between the Tianhun Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, she also knew such a matter was not something a single princess could decide.
With this in mind, Vina looked toward Xu Jiujiu's location.
It seemed it was time to communicate with Xu Jiujiu again and find out what the Xingluo Empire planned to do!
