Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 587 As everyone knows, I don't keep my promises!

"Don't go! Come back!" Qian Gu Die Ting watched as the number of viewers in his live stream decreased rapidly after Mortis started streaming, and he felt a rare moment of vulnerability.

[Why do you need to board the ship to watch Mortis's live stream? Why don't you watch my free live stream? Was the coupon I gave out during my live stream not good enough?] Qian Gu Die Ting was completely baffled.

If Qian Gu Huang Yu could hear Qian Gu Die Ting's thoughts, she would definitely complain: What's the point of you lowering the price of a three-word soul armor by 10,000 when it costs at least 100 million?
Just then, an anonymous comment caught Qian Gu Die Ting's attention: "With beautiful young girls to watch, who would watch an old man?"

Eternal Succession: ...

Just as Qian Gu Die Ting was racking his brains over the audience's defection, Bei Gong Li stared at Bei De Xun with a scrutinizing gaze, "Old Bei, is what Mortis said true? Did someone from Shrek really go to the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Bede Xun gave an awkward smile. "Subjectively, it shouldn't exist, but objectively, it might."

"As expected of the principal of the world's best school, his words are full of dialectics," Bei Gongli said with a forced smile.

Bedell couldn't really explain this matter either, since there have been so many Shrek graduates over the years that it's impossible for him to know where each graduate went.

...

In Mortis's live stream.

"In short, many companions have joined the Holy Spirit Cult family in the past two days. After a while, I would like to cooperate with some excellent colleges like Shrek Academy to conduct campus recruitment."

"In recent years, a large number of students have been unemployed upon graduation and have no choice but to return home and rely on their parents. As a globally renowned major sect, the Holy Spirit Church should actively shoulder its corresponding social responsibilities."

"Starting this year, the Holy Spirit Church will begin recruiting on campuses to provide high-quality jobs for graduating students."

Just as Mortis was speaking, the official Spirit Tower account tipped him and left a message: Shrek Academy's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult is confirmed.

Bedell looked ahead speechlessly. At this moment, Qian Gu Dieting knew that he couldn't beat Mortis and had stopped his live stream, so he simply started rebroadcasting Mortis's live stream content and passionately cursed Shrek in the barrage section.

"Now that we've finished discussing recruitment, it's time to introduce our special guest for tonight."

"The one who will be going with me tonight to retrieve the Soul Armor is—Halosa, the Hades Douluo!"

After Mortis finished speaking, he brought the utterly dejected Harosara to the front of the screen and said, "Old Haros, come and say hello to the audience."

"It's Harosa? Only two quasi-gods, which is much better than we expected," Qian Gu Die Ting thought to himself.

...

"With this lineup, they probably can't take down the Spirit Pagoda, right?" Jiang Mingxu couldn't help but complain as he watched Harosa awkwardly chatting with his fans.

Although Harosa and Mortis are both top-tier quasi-gods, the Spirit Pagoda now has a total of four quasi-gods in charge!

"Taking down the Spirit Pagoda is impossible, but taking you down is not difficult at all." A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind Jiang Mingxu, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Long, pale green hair, a black mask, and a gorgeous gothic dress.

"Mortis, what are you doing here?" Jiang Mingxu's eyes widened in fury when he saw who it was.

Mortis laughed and said, "I just remembered that I'm missing a set of four-word battle armor, so I thought I'd come and ask you for one."

"That's impossible!" Jiang Mingxu roared. If he were to provide the evil soul master with a four-word battle armor, then no matter the reason, he would be etched on the pillar of shame!

"So, your choice is death?"

The cold voice carried a hint of provocation as the amethyst-like blade was placed against Jiang Mingxu's neck. Now, Mortis only needed to flick his wrist slightly to send this master craftsman's head flying.

"Help!" As a master craftsman, Jiang Mingxu naturally had someone protecting him closely, so he hurriedly cried for help in his time of crisis.

However, his plea for help only earned him a cold laugh from Mortis: "Do you think I don't know that someone will definitely come to protect you closely?"

“Before I even appeared before you, all your security forces had already been destroyed by me.”

When Mortis first arrived at the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association, he directly used the Domination Theater to flood the mental seas of everyone there except Jiang Mingxu with a large amount of junk information.

Although his life is not in danger, he won't wake up for at least ten days to two weeks.

"How is this possible..." Large beads of cold sweat slid down Jiang Mingxu's forehead, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Now you have a chance. First, give me all the treasures of the entire Blacksmith Association, then forge me a set of four-word battle armor, and I'll spare your life. How about it?" Mortis sneered.

"I...I absolutely..."

Before Jiang Mingxu could finish speaking, the Amethyst Illusion Blade left a bloody gash on Jiang Mingxu's neck. Mortis's icy voice rang out, "I advise you to think carefully before you speak."

In an instant, a murderous aura filled the air, and Jiang Mingxu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I...I absolutely agree!"

Between life and death lies great terror. As the only divine craftsman in the entire Douluo plane, Jiang Mingxu enjoyed all the riches and honors, and even the leaders of various forces treated him with utmost respect.

Therefore, he was particularly reluctant to die. He knew that Mortis was not just talking; if he disagreed, Mortis would really kill him.

"Smart move."

Soon, under Jiang Mingxu's leadership, Mortis reaped all the wealth of the Blacksmith Association headquarters in less than ten minutes.

It's not just a huge amount of rare metals, but also some rare and precious materials accumulated by the Blacksmiths' Association.

"Old man, your Blacksmith Association really has a lot of stuff!" Mortis exclaimed, looking at the abundant resources inside his storage ring.

Jiang Mingxu's heart was bleeding. He knew that he had become a sinner of the Blacksmith Association. "The things are all here, but I am not in good condition today. I will forge the four-word battle armor for you another day."

This was Jiang Mingxu's plan. As long as he could stall for time, he would seek help from various major powers once Mortis left.

Once the reinforcements from the major powers arrive, the claim that the master craftsman betrayed his country for personal gain will be exposed. It was clearly Mortis who forcibly seized the assets of the Blacksmiths' Association, and the master craftsman will rather die than submit!

Just as Jiang Mingxu was immersed in his fantasy, the Amethyst Illusion Blade pierced his heart in an instant.

"Why...why...I clearly...already gave it to you..." Jiang Mingxu said haltingly.

Mortis chuckled lightly, "I am a necromancer, and also the noble king of evil spirit masters. As everyone knows, I do not keep my word!"

At the same moment Mortis killed Jiang Mingxu, Qian Gu Qingfeng, far away at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, suddenly felt enlightened and had a faint opportunity for a breakthrough.

Originally, the entire Spirit Pagoda was on high alert to guard against a sudden attack by Mortis. Even those who didn't need to go to the front lines, like Qian Gu Qingfeng, had to be prepared. After all, no one knew where the evil spirit master would come from.

Seeing her lover, who seemed to have suddenly woken up, Xia Zheng couldn't help but ask with concern, "Qingfeng, what's wrong with you?"

Qian Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and said, "I suddenly feel like I've gained some insight..."

Qian Gu Qingfeng hesitated, though he knew that the best solution would be to directly meditate and seize the opportunity for a breakthrough, but the current situation did not allow him to do so.

"Qingfeng, you should meditate directly. We will protect you," Leng Yaozhu said.

“You are already at the peak of the Saint Craftsman level, and you are only one step away from becoming a Divine Craftsman. If you miss this opportunity, who knows how long you will have to wait,” Leng Yulai said.

"Okay." Qian Gu Qingfeng glanced at them gratefully, and without saying a word, immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

Qian Gu Qingfeng understood that his most urgent task was to break through as soon as possible and then restore his combat power.

...

"Where did Mortis go?" After seeing that Harosa had been awkwardly chatting with the audience in the live stream for half an hour, Qian Gu Die Ting couldn't help but ask.

To be fair, Harosa is actually quite handsome and could easily attract female fans who are attracted to good looks.

However, his pale skin gave him a somewhat weak appearance, which also attracted the attention of some strange and muscular men.

"Brother Hades, are you married? What kind of girlfriend are you looking for?"

"Hey Xiao Ha, where do you usually live? Your brothers and I want to come over and chat with you!"

'Little Ha, do you know you've made it onto the Holy Spirit Cult's must-eat list? When are you going to let your older brother check if your development is normal?'

As the comments section grew increasingly outrageous, Qian Gu Die Ting even felt an urge to look up and sigh, "Could this pretty boy really be more charming than me?"

"No!" Bedell suddenly stood up, a rare look of astonishment on his face.

"What's wrong, Lao Bei?" Bei Gongli asked.

"Have you forgotten? A few years ago, Mortis said he was going to take action against our Tang Sect Spirit Bank, but he ended up attacking the Temple of War instead," said Bedex, somewhat impatiently.

Bei Gongli's eyes narrowed. "You mean, Mortis lured us here to concentrate our forces so he could launch a surprise attack on other places?"

Bedell said with a grim face, "That should be it. Last time, she concentrated almost all of the Federation's forces here and then launched a surprise attack on Yang Kaitai, who was almost completely unprepared."

Qian Gu Die Ting couldn't care less about watching the live stream at this moment and hurriedly said, "Motis isn't here with us, and the Tang Clan hasn't received any alerts, so they should be safe."

"If Yu Haosheng or Chen Yiming were in trouble, they would definitely ask for help. That means that none of the major forces have been attacked."

Leng Yangjun was silent for a moment, then said, "Motis has made such a big show of things, she must have something in mind. Since all the major forces are safe and sound, where could she be? Or is she just waiting for us to fall into disarray without making a move?"

"The armory!" Bei Gongli suddenly exclaimed. "Without a Limit Douluo guarding the armory, those security systems simply cannot stop Mortis!"

After saying this, Bei Gongli hurriedly went to the armory to check the situation, only to find that the armory was safe and sound.

“The armory is fine, so where will Mortis go?” Qian Gudieting pondered.

"Divine Craftsman!" Bedell exclaimed. "One of the biggest weaknesses of evil soul masters is the lack of four-word battle armor. She might very well attack the Divine Craftsman!"

"Congratulations, you got it right!" A flippant voice suddenly rang out, and Mortis tore through space, appearing directly in front of everyone.

When Bedell saw that Mortis was holding Jiang Mingxu's corpse, his pupils suddenly contracted. "Mortis, you bastard!"

"Oh, oh, don't be angry. He clearly gave him a chance," Mortis said innocently, blinking his big golden eyes.

Qian Gu Die Ting's expression was not good either. Although Jiang Mingxu was from Shrek Academy, he was, after all, the only divine craftsman in the world. Without him, it would be impossible to create the four-word battle armor.

Although Qian Gu Qingfeng has reached the peak of Saint Craftsman, it is unknown when he will be able to break through to God Craftsman.

With the death of Jiang Mingxu, a master craftsman, the Sun and Moon Federation will likely be unable to produce four-word battle armor for some time until the next master craftsman is born.

Ignoring the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, Mortis smiled and said, "Although the Divine Craftsman is not very sensible, I hope you won't do this. Here, give me my Soul Armor."

"Mortis, you shall perish!" Bedson roared, instantly summoning his martial spirit, the World Spear, which pierced towards Mortis.

The Amethyst Illusion Blade easily blocked the Spear of the World, and Mortis let out a silvery laugh. "What? Should I find a nearby tombstone, kneel down before him, and then weep bitterly?"

Mortis's words undoubtedly enraged Bedson even more, but before he could continue his attack, a sharp pain shot through his mental sea, as if it were about to be torn apart.

Divine pressure!

Bede Xun suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his breath immediately weakened.

"Old Bay!"

"Pavilion Master!"

Qian Gu Die Ting and Chen Yi rushed over and helped Bedex up, while Bei Gong Li and Gu Yue Chun Qiu stood in front of Mortis.

Mortis's gaze swept over the group, and he chuckled, "Even I feel pressured facing so many Limit Douluos at the same time! Well then, see you next time!"

After saying that, Mortis broke through space and left, and Beigong Li and the others did not stop her in the end.

On one hand, Bei Gongli and the others were wary of Halosa, who had not yet made a move. As the number one agility-type Soul Master in the world, Halosa truly had the ability to severely injure or even kill them with a single move if he launched a sneak attack.

On the other hand, this is, after all, the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda. If a war were to break out here, the losses would be incalculable.

"Damn it!" Bei Gongli slammed her fist against the wall, a rare look of anger appearing on her face.

Leng Yangjun said, "We are too passive. Every time Mortis releases a message, whether it is true or false, we have to get together. However, the security in other places will inevitably be reduced, which gives her an opportunity."

Panting heavily, Bedell looked at Jiang Mingxu, who had fallen to the ground and turned into a cold corpse, and a look of reluctance flashed in his eyes. "We must crack down on evil soul masters again. If Mortis continues to use this tactic of luring us away from our base and launching surprise attacks, we simply cannot withstand it."

Bei Gongli nodded slowly. "The military will also fully cooperate this time."
