Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 388 Everyone Has Their Own Hidden agendas; The Wise Emperor's deceptive and cunning guidance!

As the phantom gradually solidified, the appearance of that bewitching and powerful figure became clearer, and he was none other than the Abyss Saint King!

"Demon Emperor, what do you want with me?" The Abyss Saint Lord slightly raised his blood-red eyes, which emitted a captivating crimson light.

The moment that voice rang out, the surrounding space trembled, as if it were frantically repelling the Abyss Saint.

However, the surrounding space had already been temporarily isolated by the Demon Emperor, and the laws of heaven and earth in the Douluo plane were being temporarily blocked from entering.

Upon seeing the Abyss Saint, the Ghost Emperor, who was standing behind the Demon Emperor, had a slight movement in his dark green eyes, and a glint of ghostly light flashed across them.

Although the Abyss Saint King was a god-level powerhouse who could crush him with a flick of his finger, he was not alarmed at all, because this was just a phantom image projected by the Abyss Saint King.

The Abyss Saint King needs the help of the Holy Spirit Cult to cross over and descend into the Douluo plane. Therefore, before the Abyss Saint King truly descends, the Ghost Emperor can be fearless.

Furthermore, he can continuously demand benefits from the Abyss Plane...

"Abyss Saint Lord, I will soon be able to gather the souls and blood needed to activate the Blood River Godslayer Array using Godslayer-level fixed-position soul-guided cannons. When the Blood River Godslayer Array is activated, your Abyss Plane must also provide corresponding support."

The Demon Emperor calmly looked at the Abyss Saint and said indifferently.

She intends to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and become a god through the Blood River God-Slaying Array, so its activation will undoubtedly be extremely grand. The powerful figures of the Douluo Continent will certainly come to stop her, and the Holy Spirit Cult alone is not enough to contend with the entire continent.

Upon hearing that the Demon Emperor was about to gather all the necessary resources to activate the system, a glint of greed flashed in the Abyss Saint King's eyes. He leaned forward slightly and said in a deep voice:
"No problem, everything will proceed as agreed. As long as you set up the Blood River Godslaying Array around the Abyss Passage, the Abyss Kings under my command can use the Blood River Godslaying Array's effect of obscuring the heavenly secrets to directly break through the Abyss Passage's obstruction!"
At that time, the Abyss King will naturally help you stop those who want to prevent you from becoming a god.

"Hmm, I'll wait and see." Upon hearing the words "become a god," the Demon Emperor licked his pale red lips, a hint of madness and longing flashing in his eyes.

If she can become a god, she can resurrect her husband!

The Abyss Saint King gazed at the two, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and said meaningfully, "And don't forget our agreement. After you, Demon Emperor, become a god, you must help me descend upon Douluo! Otherwise..."

The threat in the Abyss Saint King's tone was self-evident.

The Ghost Emperor, however, seemed not to have noticed, and chuckled sinisterly:

"Lord Abyss Saint, our Holy Spirit Cult's evil spirit masters are the most trustworthy and keep their promises the most."

Countless soul masters have cooperated with our Holy Spirit Cult, and to date, not a single one has given us a negative review.

Having said that, the Ghost Emperor silently thought to himself, because all the Soul Masters who had cooperated with him were killed by their Holy Spirit Cult after the cooperation ended, so naturally there wasn't a single one who gave him a bad review...

As for the matter of summoning the Abyss Saint King, he and the Demon Emperor had already discussed it. After the Demon Emperor became a god, he would directly slaughter all the Abyss Kings who had invaded the Douluo plane.

After all, if the Abyss Saint King were to truly descend to the Douluo Continent in his true form, then no one would be a match for him. Even if the Demon Emperor were to become a god, their Holy Spirit Cult would still be nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

He didn't believe that the Abyss Saint, that greedy fellow who had devoured countless planes, would leave them a way out.

In a world where self-interest reigns supreme, talking about benevolence and righteousness is utterly ridiculous.

"Is that so? That's good." The Abyss Saint King nodded slightly, as if he believed him.

"Once the Demon Emperor becomes a god, I can directly possess his body and descend to earth. Whether I need your help or not will not matter much. Similarly, whether your Holy Spirit Cult exists or not will not matter much."

The Abyss Saint King wore a smile on his face, but inwardly he was chuckling with amusement.

He had already tampered with the Blood River God-Slaying Array he had set up for the Demon Emperor. While it could help the Demon Emperor become a god, it would also mold the Demon Emperor into the most suitable vessel for his own descent...

When the Demon Emperor becomes a god, he can directly use the Demon Emperor's god-level body to descend into the Douluo plane.

He never considered bringing his true form down, because that would be too troublesome, and the oppressive power of the Douluo Continent would suppress him completely.

Most importantly, that would waste too much time. Now that he has proven over thousands of years that there are no gods in the Douluo Continent, he doesn't need to worry too much.

The day he arrives will be the day the Douluo plane is destroyed!
As for having the Demon Emperor descend to earth after becoming a god, it was merely to prevent the Ghost Emperor and the Demon Emperor from becoming suspicious.

How could he possibly believe someone who first becomes a god and then descends to earth...?

"Demon Emperor, you must ensure that your plan succeeds. Do not let it fail due to internal problems. Your hearts are the most unpredictable. Do not let there be a traitor among you."

As if he had thought of something, the Abyss Saint King gave instructions.

"Please rest assured, Lord Abyss Saint, our Holy Sect is an unbreakable bond. From our two emperors and four heavenly kings down to every member of the Holy Sect, everyone is absolutely loyal," the Ghost Emperor replied with a sinister smile.

In his view, the members of the Holy Spirit Cult were all evil soul masters, born to be on the opposite side of ordinary soul masters, so how could they possibly betray him?
After all, these evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are not from Shrek Academy, so they can be secretly whitewashed by Shrek Academy.

In the past ten thousand years, the only ones who were able to become evil soul masters openly and honestly were the Evil Fire Phoenix and the Dark Blue Silver Grass Soul Master from Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago.

“Abyss Saint King, you don’t need to meddle in the affairs of our Holy Spirit Cult. You should first ensure that the Abyss Kings of your Abyss Plane obey you, otherwise it will be a big mess if those Abyss Kings betray you on the battlefield.”

The Demon Emperor raised his eyes to look at the phantom of the Abyss Saint King and spoke calmly.

"The Abyss King would betray us?" The Abyss Saint King shook his head with amusement. He possessed the most fundamental plane origin of the Abyss Plane, so how could the Abyss King possibly betray him?

At this moment, neither side believed that there would be a traitor within their own camp.

"Crack! Click!"

Just then, the evil aura surrounding the space suddenly began to emit a sound like that of a mirror, and then a series of hideous cracks appeared on the space.

This was precisely the rejection of the laws of the Douluo plane, and the isolation previously set up by the Demon Emperor began to crumble. Although the phantom of the Abyss Saint King could be projected and had no combat power, it could only last for three minutes.

The Ghost Emperor seized the opportunity and stepped forward, saying with a bitter expression, "Lord Abyss Saint King, our Holy Spirit Cult is currently facing a severe shortage of resources. If this situation continues, it may very well lead to the failure of our plan."

Upon hearing this, the Abyss Saint King's expression instantly darkened. "So what do you want?"

"We need to increase resources!" The Ghost Emperor's bitter expression deepened, but his tone remained firm.

The reason he called him "Lord Abyss Saint" so many times was not because he wanted to be a slave, but because he wanted to try his best to get benefits.

The Abyss Saint King's face darkened instantly. Although the Ghost Emperor was not as strong as the Demon Emperor, he was much more troublesome. Although he appeared respectful, he was like a greedy rat in secret.

The Ghost Emperor can only do things for him if he can't handle big matters, and he doesn't want to do small matters; he just consumes resources.

Seeing that the Abyss Saint King remained silent, the Ghost Emperor sighed, his voice filled with sorrow, "Actually, I can endure the lack of resources, but I'm afraid it will delay the opportunity to help the Abyss Saint King descend..."

"..." Facing the shameless Ghost Emperor, the Abyss Saint King's face had turned red with anger.

But when he thought of the Holy Spirit Cult's role, the Abyss Saint King suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Take the resources the old way."

He has already decided that once he arrives in the Douluo Continent, the first thing he will do is kill the Ghost Emperor.

"Crack! Crack!" At this moment, more and more cracks appeared. The Abyss Saint King took a deep look at the two of them, and then exploded into dust.

Upon seeing the Abyss Saint Monarch's phantom dissipate, the bitter expression on the Ghost Emperor's face vanished instantly, and even the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

As long as the Abyss Saint King doesn't truly descend, he can live off this for the rest of his life.

"Ghost Emperor, if you do this, the Abyss Saint King will eventually develop murderous intent towards you," the Demon Emperor said softly.

The Ghost Emperor waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as he can't descend to the Douluo Plane, he can't do anything to me. Besides, once you, the Demon Emperor, become a god, you won't need to rely on him anymore."

"What if he finds out that he's always wanted to descend upon the Douluo plane?" the Demon Emperor said with a sinister look in his eyes.

"We are not preventing him from descending, but rather allowing him to descend slowly and in an orderly manner," the Ghost Emperor said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor shook her head slightly. It was obvious that the Ghost Emperor did not want the Abyss Saint King to descend, and of course, she did not want it either.

If the Abyss Saint Lord descends, then her plan to resurrect her husband will certainly encounter setbacks.

At this moment, the Ghost Emperor slightly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, those who are not of our race are sure to have different intentions, and must not be trusted lightly!"

"My lord, those who are not of our race are sure to have different intentions, and we must not trust them easily!" At the same time, at the core of the Abyss Plane, the Wise Emperor bowed slightly to the Abyss Saint King.

He had been summoned by the Abyss Saint King before the communication took place, so he had witnessed the entire conversation.

"They're nothing but clowns. I'll settle accounts with them properly when I arrive," the Abyss Saint said, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"We will heed Your Majesty's words." Emperor Zhi bowed slightly and said, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in his vertical pupils as he continued:

"However, my lord, the god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that the Demon Emperor mentioned earlier should be the secret weapon of the Human Federation that can kill gods, right? As far as I know, the Federation only has three in total. The Holy Spirit Cult is really powerful to have obtained them."

"I've heard that these god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannons were prepared by the Federation to deal with our Abyss Plane."

As Emperor Zhi spoke, he kept an eye on the expression of the Abyss Saint King.

He hadn't forgotten his plan to help Lord Jiang Xiu subdue the Scythe Emperor, and the key to that was the level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

He then subtly informed the Abyss Saint King that only the Holy Spirit Cult and the Federation currently possess God-Slaying Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannons.

If the Abyss Saint Lord's attention is drawn when the aftershocks of the God-Slaying Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannonball kill the Scythe Emperor, the blame can be shifted to the Holy Spirit Cult.

It's important to know that at that time, only the Holy Spirit Cult used God-Slaying Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannonballs.

Of course, the Abyss Saint King was extremely suspicious, so what he was doing now was merely subtly planting a seed in the Abyss Saint King's heart...

"Yes, the Holy Spirit Cult has quite a bit of influence in the Douluo Continent; they actually managed to get their hands on this." Abyss nodded slightly, completely unaware of the ulterior motives in Emperor Zhi's words.

"By the way, has anything happened to those kings in the Abyss Plane these days?" the Abyss Saint King asked.

"No, all the Abyss Kings are loyal to you, after all, you are the only sun in the Abyss Plane!" Emperor Zhi bowed and said.

Let him investigate the traitor; it would be strange if he could find anything...

“Not bad.” The Abyss Saint King nodded, then said, “Wait another year and a half, and I will announce to the public that I have finished my seclusion. At that time, you can take a look at my super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Emperor Zhi's eyes flashed, and he thanked him again.

He then slowly withdrew from the palace.

"It's time to continue helping the master search for the true spirit of Electrolux." Glancing back at the magnificent palace behind him, the Emperor of Wisdom vanished in a flash.

He had just arrived at the Haotian Sect when he was summoned by the Abyss Saint King's messenger. Fortunately, he left an energy body in the Abyss Plane and returned in time, so no problem occurred.
