Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 649 I thought he was an evil spirit master!
The Star Luo Empire, Shura City, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

After Mortis toyed with Yunming in Kazama and Tani and wiped out all the remaining forces of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, he led Harosa and the others back to Shura City.

“Now, we shouldn’t have to worry about Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect for a while,” Mortis said with a sigh, sitting in the main seat.

Harosa said, "This time we killed thousands of strong people from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect in one fell swoop, and they were all Soul Masters above level 70."

"Even for these two super powers, this is absolutely a devastating blow."

"It's more than just a broken bone, it's like he's been crippled!" Ye Lingshang laughed.

It should be noted that because evil spirit masters cultivate at a faster pace, the Holy Spirit Cult actually has the largest number of high-level combatants.

Even for the Holy Spirit Cult, it wouldn't be easy to produce over a thousand Soul Masters of Soul Saint rank or higher at once.

Just as Mortis was feeling sentimental, her soul communication device suddenly rang.

"Ghost Emperor?" After seeing the contact information, Mortis immediately connected to the soul communication device.

"My Lord, there's been a slight mishap here..."

The moment the soul-guided communicator connected, the Ghost Emperor's uneasy voice came through.

"What happened? Tell me," Mortis said impatiently. In her opinion, the Douling Empire didn't have a single Limit Douluo, but it had two quasi-gods, the Ghost Emperor and the Demon Emperor, in charge. There shouldn't have been any accidents.

Hearing Mortis's indifferent voice, the Ghost Emperor broke out in a cold sweat and said with a stiff upper lip, "Master, the Demon Emperor and I went to intercept Shrek Academy and his group on your orders, but I underestimated their strength."

"Under the pressure of the Demon Emperor, Chen Hanyu broke through to the Limit Douluo level in the heat of battle, and her martial soul even suppressed the Demon Emperor."

"After using the Soul Fusion Skill, it was enough to force back the Demon Emperor, and those two brats, Duqing and Wuqing, were also quite troublesome with the Soul Fusion Skill."

"We went there with the intention of launching a surprise attack. If it turns into a protracted war, we will hardly be a match for the Sun Moon Federation's almost endless supply of soul tools."

"After achieving some success, seeing that the situation was not good, we retreated first."

It has to be said that the Ghost Emperor's words are becoming more and more sophisticated. He first flattered Mortis, and then shifted the main responsibility for the failure to the Demon Emperor for not quickly taking down Chen Hanyu.

Upon hearing this, Mortis felt somewhat helpless. Qian Renxue knew that her good prime minister was the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, so she would naturally cooperate with her actions.

However, Chen Hanyu was unaware that the master of the Spirit Pagoda and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult were actually the same person.

Although she also disliked Shrek Academy and Tang Sect to some extent, she was still willing to put aside her past prejudices and stand up for the evil spirit masters who were the common enemy of humanity.

[That's true. Although the Demon Emperor is powerful, Chen Hanyu still has the Sea Emperor Trident that I gave her, even though with her current cultivation level, she can't possibly unleash the true power of a super artifact.]

However, the fusion skill performed by a Limit Douluo and a Super Douluo should possess the strength of a peak Quasi-God.

[Even though they're both at the peak of the Quasi-God realm, the difference between having and not having a super artifact is enormous. Plus, they know Chen Hanyu is my person, so they can't go in with the intention of killing. It's not too surprising that the Demon Emperor couldn't take down Chen Hanyu.]

With that thought in mind, Mortis said, "Forget it, come back. Our plan here has succeeded, and it's enough that you have achieved some results on your end."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately began to praise the great and powerful leadership of Cult Leader Mortis, claiming that the Holy Spirit Cult had been winning every day since Cult Leader Mortis took over.

Because Mortis didn't deliberately hide it from Harosa and Night Spirit, they heard the Ghost Emperor's praises.

Their expressions were priceless.

...

The next day, news of the complete annihilation of the Shrek and Tang Sect allied forces in the Star Luo War Zone by the Holy Spirit Cult reached the Sun Moon Federation.

Of course, to avoid domestic chaos, the news did not report that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy Soul Masters who remained at the Sun Moon Federation camp were mistakenly believed to have betrayed the cause and were killed by their own people.

When the news reached the Sun and Moon Federation, the entire Federation was astonished.

This sparked a wave of calls to avenge the soldiers of the Sun and Moon Federation.

Countless citizens spoke out online or marched in the streets, claiming that nations like the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, which colluded with evil spirit masters, must be destroyed.

The evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult must also pay for their crimes in blood.

...

Sun and Moon Federation, Mingdu, Prime Minister's Office.

After finishing her business in the Star Luo Empire, Qian Gu Huang Yu directly broke through space and returned to the Sun Moon Federation.

Normally, even the most advanced soul-guided motherships would take at least a month to complete a cross-continental transport mission.

However, for the current Eternal Phoenix Feather, crossing continents is not a problem at all.

Upon returning to her office, Qian Gu Huang Yu saw Gu Yue Na tidying up the mountain of letters piled up on her desk.

"Gu Yue, why are there so many letters all of a sudden?" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but ask.

When Gu Yuena saw that Shang Qiangu Huangyu had returned, she immediately turned around and explained, "These were all sent this morning. They all request the Federation to send troops to wipe out the evil soul masters."

"Actually, there were far more letters sent than this, but I only brought these back."

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu promised that any citizen could send a letter directly to the Prime Minister's Office in order to show that he could hear the voice of the people.

However, Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally didn't have time to read all the letters herself. They were all sorted out by someone first and then reported back to Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Finally, Qian Gu Huang Yu decided which letters she wanted to read.

Qian Gu Huang Yu casually picked up a letter, glanced at its contents, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled, "Gu Yue, do you think the achievements of quelling the civil war, plus the destruction of the two great empires and the Holy Spirit Cult, are enough for me to stand with the country?"

The reason why the Phoenix Feather of the Ages went through such a long and complicated process was that its ultimate goal was not simply to eliminate Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

Now her goal is the entire human civilization of Douluo Star.

Gu Yuena laughed and said, "At this point, even if you can't, do you really think anyone can stop you?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Honesty is the art of compromise; there are some things that simply cannot be done directly!"

On the afternoon of the same day that news of the annihilation of the Tang Sect and Shrek Alliance reached the Sun Moon Federation, Federation Prime Minister Qian Gu Huang Yu issued a statement.

The order was to have the Federal Legion not only wipe out the two great empires but also gather intelligence on the Holy Spirit Cult, with the ultimate goal of uprooting the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters located in the Star Luo Empire.

...

Douling Empire, Tang Sect Camp.

"Oh!"

After reading the report sent back from the Sun-Moon Federation, Cao Dezhi slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Beside Cao Dezhi, Zang Xin's expression was also very gloomy.

Not only the Sun and Moon Federation, but they also knew about the annihilation of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy allies who went to the Star Luo Empire, except for Yun Ming.

"Those damned Holy Spirit Cult!" Cao Dezhi was not in good condition at the moment. Although he and Zang Xin had repelled the Ghost Emperor with their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, how could they not pay a price?

Cao Dezhi's chest and right arm are now completely wrapped in bandages, making him look quite disheveled.

Similarly, Zang Xin's cultivation level was not as good as Cao Dezhi's, so naturally he wasn't much better either.

"Old Cao, don't aggravate your wound." Seeing that Cao Dezhi's wound showed signs of reopening after he punched the table, Zang Xin quickly advised him.

Cao Dezhi's eyes were dim, and he said in a low voice, "What do you think we should do now?"

Because the Douling Empire was weaker, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy did not suffer as great losses as they had during the Star Luo Empire.

However, Cao Dezhi still found it hard to accept the news that the Tang Clan and Shrek Academy forces of the Star Luo Empire had been completely wiped out, losing two-thirds of their members.

An organization is useless if it has no people, no matter how many resources it has.

Zang Xin sighed and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. What's happening now is beyond our control."

...

Star Luo Empire, Royal Palace.

When Dai Lingxun saw the report from Enci, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze on the spot.

"His Majesty?"

"His Majesty?"

When the official saw that Dai Lingxun did not reply, he quickly asked.

"I'm fine. The Imperial Advisor did a good job. You may leave now." Dai Lingxun quickly realized what was happening, barely suppressing her surprise, and said calmly.

After the ministers had all left, Dai Lingxun slumped onto the throne, a look of fear appearing on her fair face.

"How could she possibly control the Holy Spirit Cult? But... how is that possible?"

"Having simultaneously controlled two giants, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda—one righteous and one evil—what in this world could possibly stop her?"

After Qian Gu Huang Yu had Dai Lingxun send Enci to Kazama and Gu, Dai Lingxun kept thinking about how Qian Gu Huang Yu should eliminate the Shrek Academy and the Tang Clan.

Dai Lingxun considered using level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons to bombard the area, then disguising it as the work of the Star Luo Empire.

She had considered sending someone in disguise to assassinate him, but she never expected that Qian Gu Huang Yu would be so ruthless as to directly enlist the help of the Holy Spirit Cult.

How many more secrets does she still have that I don't know?

At this point, Dai Lingxun no longer cared about being slandered for colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult.

The citizens of the Sun-Moon Federation don't care about the truth; they just desperately need an object of hatred to pay for their discontent.

What truly worries Dai Lingxun is whether Qian Gu Huang Yu can truly control the Holy Spirit Sect, or whether they have simply reached some kind of deal.

"If the Holy Spirit really taught her to be a henchman and do some shady things, then who in this world could stop her?"

...

Star Luo Empire, front line.

After the devastation of the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect alliance, Yun Ming was completely devastated and fell ill.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue didn't ask Yun Ming for anything more. In any case, the established goal had been achieved. As long as Yun Ming didn't run around, it didn't matter whether he went to the battlefield or not.

Because she had leverage over the Star Luo Empire's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult, Qian Renxue no longer needed to hold back as before. With her full strength, the Star Luo Empire's defenses were instantly crushed.

However, after breaking through the Star Luo Empire's defenses in Beidou City, Qian Renxue did not continue to advance, but instead turned her attention to the Star Luo Empire's original inhabited areas.

Unlike the Douling Empire, which successfully integrated with the indigenous people, the Xingluo Empire and the original inhabitants never reconciled after the latter seized the Xingluo Continent.

Even now, with the help of the Holy Spirit Cult, the original inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent still occupy two provinces of the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, Qian Renxue wasn't so idle as to help the Star Luo Empire solve any ethnic problems. Her purpose for this trip was the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, also known as the Asura City.

Even the Star Luo Empire was no match for the Sun Moon Federation. How could the indigenous people, who only had two provinces and whose soul guidance technology was still very backward, possibly be a match for the Sun Moon Federation?

The battle lines didn't even reach a stalemate; the indigenous people's defenses were breached almost instantly.

...

Star Luo Empire, Royal Palace.

After confirming that the Sun-Moon Federation's army was targeting the indigenous-occupied territories, Grace withdrew from the front lines.

“Your Majesty, the current situation is that the Sun and Moon Federation is engaged in war with the natives of the occupied territories and has not made any further advances towards Star Luo City,” Enci said respectfully to Dai Lingxun.

Dai Lingxun said, "In that case, Imperial Preceptor, please take this opportunity to recuperate. You've worked hard during this time."

After Enci took her leave, Dai Lingxun turned her gaze towards the enemy-occupied territory of the Star Luo Continent, muttering, "You really gave me a big gift..."

Initially, due to the strain on the front lines, the Star Luo Empire had to withdraw some of its troops from defending the native inhabitants to the front lines against the Sun and Moon Federation.

This gave the indigenous people an opportunity to cause trouble in the rear.

However, Dai Lingxun did not have enough troops to suppress the rebellion, which gave her a great headache.

However, the fact that the Sun and Moon Federation has now turned its attention to the indigenous-occupied areas has undoubtedly greatly relieved the pressure on Dai Lingxun.

...

Star Luo Continent, Rodland Province, Indigenous Occupation Zone.

"Commander-in-Chief, the indigenous leader of the Star Luo Continent has sent a request for He Tan."

In the military camp of the Sun and Moon Federation, Le Zhengen reported the latest intelligence to Qian Renxue.

The native inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent were no match for the Sun and Moon Federation. In just one week, they lost one of their provinces, forcing them to negotiate.

"Sister Phoenix Feather, what is your decision?" Qian Renxue did not respond directly to Le Zheng'en, but instead summoned the Ancient Phoenix Feather through the Holy Grail Contract.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu granted Qian Renxue a great deal of autonomy in war, she still needed to consult Qian Gu Huang Yu on matters involving diplomacy.

"What natives? I thought you were evil spirit masters!" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing Qian Renxue's words.

"Sister Xue'er, you can arrange it as you see fit. They're just a bunch of people who can collude with evil spirit masters. If you don't like them, just wipe them out."

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu sympathized with the plight of the natives, she truly had no good feelings towards this group of people who mingled with evil spirit masters and even regarded the Ghost Emperor as their organization's faith.
