Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 139: The Holy Spirit Church's Actions

While the Body Sect was vigorously carrying out its reforms within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire.

At this moment, within the Sun Moon Empire, the undercurrent that had been brewing was finally showing signs of agitation.

With the gradual development of cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest.

Whether it was the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church, who were mainly responsible for smoothing out the connections, or the Sun Moon Empire's noble soul tool masters in charge of supervising the work, they all made a great deal of money.

After all, as the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, the resources accumulated by the Star Dou Great Forest over thousands of years could no longer be described with numbers.

After the resistance from the soul beast side decreased, the benefits obtained by the Sun Moon Empire were immediately apparent.

However, although the resources they were now exploiting from the Star Dou Great Forest were only the tip of the iceberg of this vast gold mine.

Di Tian was not a fool to be easily deceived. After paying a certain price in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The true strategic goal that they, in conjunction with the Sun Moon Empire and even the Holy Spirit Church, wanted to achieve also began to gradually reveal itself.

Recalling the threat given by Di Tian a few days ago, Zhongli Wu's expression remained extremely cold even after returning to his base camp.

Three days ago, a riot of soul beasts occurred in the Star Dou Great Forest, and a small-scale beast tide caused heavy losses to the soul masters who were carrying out hunting operations in the Star Dou Great Forest at that time.

The Shrek Academy, located not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, was naturally alarmed, and although it sent several Title Douluo elders to investigate, they gained nothing.

This place was also the base for the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church after they entered the Star Dou Great Forest these days.

The soul beasts in the swamp were already difficult to find, and because human soul masters were often not good at fighting in such environments.

Therefore, there was no need to take risks for some ordinary soul beasts living in the swamp. In addition, being located outside the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, this place could be described as deserted.

Under Di Tian's instructions, the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sun Moon Empire had carried out a certain degree of cooperation, and this was the territory that Di Tian had designated for the Holy Spirit Church to temporarily reside in.

However, at this time, Di Tian, who rarely showed his face, brought three ferocious beasts, and the visitors were not ordinary.

They were Bear Lord, Ten Thousand Demon King, and Hell Demon Dragon King. The Hell Demon Dragon King was not considered for the time being. Although he had true dragon blood, he was not a pureblood. Therefore, although he was also a ferocious beast, his combat power was not particularly terrifying.

However, Bear Lord and Ten Thousand Demon King were both known for their strength within the Star Dou Great Forest. Whether it was Bear Lord's Sky-Rending Claws or the large number of plant-type soul beasts controlled by the Ten Thousand Demon King.

They all possessed extremely powerful deterrent power against the group of evil soul masters led by Zhongli Wu, not to mention the even more outstanding and powerful Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.

"What does Beast God mean by this?" Looking at the menacing four great ferocious beasts, Zhongli Wu's face became somewhat unsightly.

To show sincerity, Zhongli Wu, as the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, even personally led the team to set up a base in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of course, the main reason was to be able to seize the greatest benefits from the development of the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible.

However, things did not go as planned. Now Zhongli Wu believes that their cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest has only just begun. Even in order to make the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest believe them.

The Holy Spirit Church's front-and-back investments and exchanges, in fact, the effort and financial resources spent, and the coordination up and down in the Sun Moon Empire.

Compared to the benefits currently obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest, it even exceeds some, which can be described as doing a losing business.

Although some potential gains that cannot be directly calculated in terms of benefits have also been obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, now that he has just seen the beginning of making a lot of money, Di Tian has come to his door.

Moreover, it seems that the visitors are not friendly, which makes Zhongli Wu feel aggrieved.

"Oh? What do I mean? I want to ask what you Holy Spirit Church mean."

Di Tian snorted coldly and asked: "What was the agreement I reached with Xie Di before? Do you still remember?"

"My Star Dou Great Forest uses idle resources as a price in exchange for your action to deal with that Shrek City. However, in these days, have you taken any action at all?"

Speaking of this, Bear Lord behind Di Tian began to rub his fists, and dark golden light faintly burst out. The ferocious eyes made the evil soul masters tremble with fear.

At the same time, some undetectable vines and roots in the surrounding swamp also began to grow and cover sinuously. Although it did not attract attention, it was chilling to suddenly notice it.

Although the Hell Demon Dragon King did nothing, the faint dark and cold soul power made even the notoriously brutal evil soul masters feel fear.

With the four great ferocious beasts present, and even Di Tian, who ranked first among the ten great ferocious beasts, if a response was mishandled, I am afraid that this place would become their burial ground today.

The evil soul masters are crazy but not stupid, and the evil soul masters who can be brought here by Zhongli Wu are all a group of more clear-headed people in the Holy Spirit Church.

Naturally, they did not dare to take other actions at this time to provoke the ferocity of the four great ferocious beasts in front of them.

Zhongli Wu could only smile awkwardly in response: "Beast God, you don't know that the Sun Moon Empire is far away from the Star Dou Great Forest."

"My Holy Spirit Church needs to spend a lot of time to open up the connections along the way, avoid the monitoring and tracking of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Shrek Academy's monitoring team, and transport a large number of resources and soul tools here."

"Therefore, we have not been able to fulfill our promise to you in time, but please rest assured that everything is in the plan."

As a level ninety-seven Super Douluo and the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, Zhongli Wu rarely bows his head to others. However, at this time, the situation is stronger than others, and he can only make a posture of a subordinate.

"Please give us some more time, Beast God. I believe that our Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church will definitely allow you to get satisfactory results."

Di Tian snorted coldly and said: "Time, how much time do you want? A year? Or two years?"

Hearing that Di Tian seemed to be loosening his mouth, Zhongli Wu quickly said: "One year, only one year, my Holy Spirit Church will definitely..."

Before Zhongli Wu could finish speaking, a terrifying dark aura surged, instantly engulfing everyone present, and this terrifying darkness made everyone in the Holy Spirit Church feel suffocated.

At the same time, the residual energy released here startled many Soul Beasts with lower cultivation levels, triggering a small-scale beast tide.

Zhongli Wu was now surrounded by darkness, and neither his spiritual power nor his soul power could sense anything after leaving his body.

It was utterly silent. In this endless darkness, he couldn't hear a single sound, not even his own faint heartbeat or breathing.

At this moment, Zhongli Wu was both shocked and angry. He didn't understand why Di Tian would suddenly attack without warning.

However, he didn't know that a strong person doesn't need a reason to act. Moreover, for Di Tian, cooperating with this group of Evil Soul Masters was just a strategy to avoid attracting the attention of the God Realm, a way to use them as pawns.

Zhongli Wu couldn't even sense the other Evil Soul Masters who had been by his side. Before he could use any desperate measures, he heard Di Tian's cold voice ringing in his ears.

"Not in a year, nor in half a year."

"I want to see results immediately. Take your rabble and get out of Star Dou Forest. Don't bother me until you've achieved the minimum agreed upon."

"Otherwise, hmph."

Di Tian snorted coldly again, and the power of darkness dissipated. Except for Zhongli Wu, all the other Holy Spirit Cult Evil Soul Masters were slumped on the ground.

Their faces were pale, and they were vomiting blood from the corners of their mouths. Clearly, Di Tian's attack had taught them a harsh lesson.

Moreover, it could be observed that the injuries of the Evil Soul Masters present varied in severity, with some being severely injured and many even passing out.

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, how could Zhongli Wu not know the character of these Evil Soul Masters under his command?

Although the initial agreement with Star Dou Forest was that they would not touch any resources that the Soul Beasts in Star Dou Forest did not need, and would not harm Star Dou Forest in the slightest.

However, there were always some Evil Soul Masters who couldn't control their hands or greed, and targeted the Soul Beasts living in Star Dou Forest.

After all, compared to the remains of the dead for who knows how long, and the resentment that had dissipated for decades, the resources produced by fresh Soul Beasts were definitely more to the Evil Soul Masters' liking.

Even if they didn't dare to make a big fuss due to the alliance, these Evil Soul Masters still secretly acted in private, staining their hands with the blood of many Star Dou Forest Soul Beasts.

Seeing this situation, Zhongli Wu naturally knew that their every move since coming to Star Dou Forest had probably been under Di Tian's surveillance.

Therefore, seeing his subordinates severely injured and falling to the ground, Zhongli Wu still didn't dare to act presumptuously, but respectfully said, "Thank you, Beast God, for showing mercy."

"Our Holy Spirit Cult will definitely not disappoint the Beast God. Please rest assured, Beast God, Shrek City is nothing. Please wait for good news."

Barely suppressing the uncontrollable sinister look in his eyes, Zhongli Wu lowered his head and promised Di Tian.

There was no martial soul oath, no testimony from heaven and earth. Di Tian disdained to engage in such things with this group of Evil Soul Masters.

After all, to be honest, after their Star Dou Forest engaged in a short-term trade with the Sun Moon Empire, Star Dou Forest was currently benefiting more.

Therefore, this was also why Di Tian came to inform Zhongli Wu at this time. First of all, he really couldn't stand the people from Shrek Academy anymore.

Secondly, he also knew that this group of Evil Soul Masters were not good people. If he didn't take action to restrain them, the harm they would cause to Star Dou Forest would inevitably exceed imagination. It was better to let them and Shrek Academy fight each other.

Because of this, Zhongli Wu was even unable to bring out those precious soul tools used for resource extraction, stationing, and exploration.

Zhongli Wu led a group of Evil Soul Masters, half-dead from the beating, and fled from Star Dou Forest in a miserable state.

Following the secret route that the Holy Spirit Cult had been developing in recent days, they detoured all the way back to the Evil Demon Forest, which served as the Holy Spirit Cult's main base.

"Hahaha, did Di Tian really say that? Does he look down on me that much?"

In front of Zhongli Wu, the sinister man transformed from the Evil Eye Tyrant laughed loudly, then looked at Zhongli Wu with a somewhat playful gaze.

After returning to the Evil Demon Forest, the Evil Emperor, as the ruler of the Evil Demon Forest, was naturally the first person Zhongli Wu sought out.

After all, the alliance previously made with Di Tian was completed by this person. Now, Di Tian was obviously going back on his word.

For now, their Holy Spirit Cult had to recover some losses, no matter what.

If they really took action to deal with Shrek Academy, then they would inevitably expose more of the Holy Spirit Cult's hidden strength, which would be greatly detrimental to their future plans.

Therefore, Zhongli Wu exaggerated what Di Tian had said in Star Dou Forest and relayed it to the Evil Emperor.

"Evil Emperor, Di Tian is slapping you in the face."

"You are also aware of the Holy Spirit Cult's reputation. Naturally, we would not dare to be negligent in serving a powerhouse of your level. Of course, we must plan carefully before taking action."

Hearing this, the Evil Emperor's original smile disappeared, and he said coldly, "Isn't it just a small Shrek City? It can be destroyed with ease. Surely you're not planning to trouble me with such a trivial matter?"

Then, the Evil Emperor smiled evilly again, "Or are you hoping to see me and Di Tian fight, so that your Holy Spirit Cult can reap the benefits?"

"How dare I, how dare I," Zhongli Wu's old face twitched, and he said quickly.

"Alright, I know what you're thinking. Don't try to play tricks on me here."

"Shrek, the number one academy on the continent, is indeed not an easy opponent, but isn't causing trouble everywhere what your Holy Spirit Cult excels at?"

The Evil Emperor threw a twisted and evil tentacle on the table. Upon closer inspection, countless eyes were densely growing on this tentacle, making it look very creepy.

"Just consider it a small investment from me in your Holy Spirit Cult. Don't disappoint me or the Beast God, hahaha."

As he spoke, the Evil Emperor stood up and patted Zhongli Wu's shoulder in front of him.

Feeling the cold and chilling sensation on his shoulder just now, Zhongli Wu's expression changed slightly, but he still saw the Evil Emperor out all the way.

After putting away the tentacle that contained a portion of the Evil Emperor's power, Zhongli Wu's old face returned to a deep and sinister expression.

"Since that's the case, it's time for our Holy Spirit Cult to move."

"With the help of the Evil Emperor and the secret pressure from Di Tian, Shrek Academy, hmph, it's time for the Fire Phoenix Saintess to return to our Holy Spirit Cult."
