At this moment, Gu Ming was overjoyed to hear his subordinates' pledge of loyalty.

All the pent-up frustration from the past few years was released in an instant.

That's real strength, raw and unadulterated strength!

Thinking of this, he took out a pill to heal injuries from his storage soul tool and tossed it to Yan Feng, saying, "This is a water-attribute pill that can heal external injuries. It will allow you to recover quickly and also help you advance further."

Yan Feng accepted the pill, a smile spreading across his face, and exclaimed loudly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Gu Ming nodded in satisfaction, then took out a few more pills and tossed them to the other henchmen.

Gu Ming understood the principle of ensuring that everyone receives their due share.

The stick shouldn't be given to just one person, but to a group of people, so that you can cultivate your own loyal followers.

These people are all his own team.

Sure enough, the eyes of these traitors lit up the moment they saw the pills.

After receiving their own share, they swore allegiance once again.

The corporate culture of the Holy Spirit Church is just that simple and unpretentious.

After everything was finished, Feng Ling and the two elders came to the training ground and waved to Yan Feng and the others, indicating that they could go down to heal their injuries.

Feng Ling turned to look at Gu Ming and praised him, "Your growth has exceeded my expectations. I never thought you could crush Yan Feng."

"It's all thanks to my older sister's excellent upbringing."

Gu Ming bowed respectfully, his tone humble.

When he didn't have enough power, he just treated himself like a younger brother and served loyally.

Anyway, this has always been the corporate culture of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Wu Yun, standing to the side, chuckled and said with a strange smile, "I didn't expect you to be even more adept at handling things than Yan Feng and the others, but there's no harm in this way of dealing with people."

At this moment, Feng Ling spoke up: "I have a task for you. You have cultivated in the Holy Sect for so many years, it is time for you to go out and gain some experience."

Gu Ming said, "Please give your instructions, sister."

"Let's go eat first. I'll tell you the details when the leader comes back tomorrow. I'm just giving you some advance notice," Feng Ling said calmly.

Gu Ming was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, "I'd like to go to Mingdu for a visit, is that alright?"

Feng Ling thought this request was not excessive and would not delay the Holy Church's plans, so she said softly:

"You have passed our test of strength. From now on, you are free. You don't need to inform me or the leader about anything that is not a big deal."

"Once the leader returns tomorrow, you can accept the mission and leave. Just keep in touch with us."

Gu Ming nodded in agreement, a look of longing appearing on his face.

I've been in this world for twelve years. Except for the time before I was six, when I could see the scenery outside, I've spent the rest of my time in the Holy Spirit Cult, dealing with soul beasts and elders all day long.

It's time to go out and have a good look around, and maybe grab something nice to eat.

I'm getting so tired of eating things like whale gelatin every day that I feel nauseous.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhongli Wu rushed over from outside and returned to the Holy Church.

He was overjoyed to learn that Gu Ming, with his strength at the third level, had completely suppressed Yan Feng and won.

The future of the Holy Spirit Church is finally beginning to emerge.

And it's time for their holy plan to be implemented.

Zhongli Wu and his mother Ye Xishui had discussed this plan, and it was a very feasible plan. Moreover, Gu Ming was the perfect candidate for this plan.

Soon, Zhongli Wu summoned Gu Ming to the main hall of the Holy Church.

"Master."

Upon arrival, Gu Ming bowed respectfully, speaking calmly.

Zhongli Wu stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Gu Ming, and said calmly, "I heard you defeated Yan Feng yesterday?"

Gu Ming nodded, without any modesty.

"very good!"

Zhongli Wu nodded approvingly, and then continued, "Originally, this plan was intended to be implemented after you had grown up, but your growth has indeed exceeded my expectations, and it is time to carry it out."

"From now on, I will give you a mission: to 'infiltrate Shrek Academy' and become the next Sea God Pavilion Master. Starting today, you will change your appearance and are forbidden from revealing your Spider Soul at Shrek Academy."

"You possess two of the strongest energies, a dual martial soul of light and darkness. Even Mu En wouldn't be able to detect your presence."

"From now on, you will use the Heavenly Crystal Sword to face Shrek. Remember to keep in touch with us. If there are any special circumstances, the Holy Church will notify you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming frowned and asked, "Master, may I ask for the reason?"

Zhongli Wu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It's alright to tell you. In fact, the Sun Moon Empire has long been part of our plan, but our biggest obstacle is still Shrek Academy."

"This academy has a history of ten thousand years and can even communicate with the divine realm. It is an important foundation of the three great empires. As long as we completely take down Shrek Academy, we will have no worries."

"Actually, I know the risks are great, but you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Even Shrek Academy would never have imagined that we would send someone with such strong potential over there."

"Your talent is enough to drive Shrek Academy crazy. As long as you work hard enough, you will be the Holy Son of the Sea God Pavilion and will definitely be able to inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master in the future."

"At the same time, you are also a holy child of the Holy Spirit Church. As long as you want to come back one day, the doors of the Holy Spirit Church will always be open for you."

In his last sentence, Zhongli Wu almost factored in the risk of Gu Ming's betrayal.

But he knew the Shrek group too well.

Gu Ming will not betray us, and even if he does, he will come back sooner or later.

now.

After listening, Gu Ming cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "Rest assured, Master, I will definitely complete the mission. The Holy Sect has nurtured me like their own parents, and I will never betray them."

At this time, he cannot show any longing; he must remain loyal.

If I had shown it, I probably wouldn't be alive today.

As expected, after hearing these words, Zhongli Wu smiled kindly and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'm not testing you all the time. You can leave in a bit."

"If we need your help with any tasks, please contact us anytime, and we will make adjustments accordingly."

Gu Ming bowed and withdrew to go back and prepare.

This mission wasn't actually that difficult; in fact, it was quite exciting.

He truly benefited from the innate advantages of his martial spirit.

Shortly after Gu Ming left, Ye Xishui, the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, and Feng Ling, the Vice Leader, appeared in the main hall.

"Mother."

Zhongli Wu bowed respectfully, his tone humble.

Ye Xishui's eyes gleamed coldly as she asked, "How did the Holy Son react?"

Zhongli Wu replied, "I just used my spiritual power to observe his subtle expressions and found that he did not waver at all, and he completely belongs to the Holy Church."

Ye Xishui nodded, quite satisfied with Gu Ming's loyalty.

At this moment, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but ask, "Mother, isn't sending Gu Ming to Shrek Academy like throwing good money after bad? Won't Mu En find out? Shrek Academy can communicate with the God Realm."

"Won't."

Ye Xiguo answered the question decisively and said in a deep voice, "The Shrek people will not find out that Gu Ming is an undercover agent, because he has never appeared on the mainland, and even his birth was erased by us."

"Even if Mu En racked his brains, he would never associate it with the Holy Spirit Church. He can only take Gu Ming into the Sea God Pavilion, just like he adopted Yan Shaozhe, to help us complete the Holy Spirit Church's revival plan."

In fact, Ye Xishui was not worried at all that Gu Ming would be exposed or betray the Holy Church.

She had walked this path step by step, feeling like she was treading on thin ice.

Similarly, Ye Xishui also possesses a dual nature of light and darkness, and she also has a Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul, which she has never let anyone discover.

Although Gu Ming was young, under their tutelage, he already knew the reality that any evil martial spirit that showed itself would be instantly killed.

Hearing this, Zhongli Wu, who was standing to the side, was completely relieved.

Feng Ling pursed her lips, still somewhat reluctant to part.

As the sun set, Gu Ming, carrying his bag and a letter of recommendation from the city lord of the Heavenly Soul Empire, left the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters and headed towards the Ming capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Before heading to Shrek, let's visit Mingdu first.
