Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 720 The Holy Spirit Cult flees and returns to the Demon Forest!

The Evil Lord had great faith in his intuition, which had helped him avoid many life-or-death crises throughout his long life of hundreds of thousands of years.

And as his strength grew, he trusted his intuition more and more.

"No, we can't stay here any longer!"

The feeling of unease grew stronger; he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if some disaster would befall him at any moment.

After some deliberation, he decided to leave the Demon Forest, his base camp.

No matter where we go, we can no longer stay in the Demon Forest.

boom!
The Evil Lord's true form, a giant eyeball three hundred meters in diameter, and terrifying tentacles five hundred meters in length flew out from the mountains of the Demon Forest, releasing a terrifying aura belonging to the second of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation!
The moment the Evil Lord released his aura, the entire Demon Forest fell silent. Within the Demon Forest, the Evil Lord was a god-like being. His mere appearance commanded all the soul beasts of the Demon Forest, including the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters within it, to prostrate themselves in submission!

Deep within the Demon Forest, Ye Xishui, who was recovering from her injuries in a pool of blood, suddenly opened her eyes.

She flew directly out of the blood pool, dressed in mid-air, and instantly appeared on the ground.

"This is... the aura of the Evil Lord? What's wrong with him?!"

The Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil Lord cooperate. The Evil Lord uses the Demon Forest to provide cover for the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, while the Holy Spirit Cult regularly offers the Evil Lord blood offerings.

The relationship between the two sides had always been very stable until recently when Ye Xishui asked Xie Jun to send a spiritual entity to besiege and kill Jiang Ming.

That time, the Evil Lord thought he would be able to enjoy a delicious human powerhouse's soul, but unexpectedly, not only did he fail to enjoy the human powerhouse's soul, but he also had a spiritual body devoured, which can be said to be a rather heavy loss.

Moreover, he later fought with Jiang Ming, and several of his tentacles were cut off, which made him even more furious.

Since then, although the Evil Lord did not punish the evil soul masters at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters too severely, he only devoured one or two Soul Douluo-level evil soul masters. However, he still made these evil soul masters at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters provide more blood food, hoping to recover as soon as possible in order to cope with the heavenly tribulation of 800,000 years.

The Holy Spirit Cult had already suffered heavy losses, but they couldn't afford to turn against the Evil Lord.

Headquartered underground in the Demon Forest, turning against the Evil Lord would undoubtedly be suicide.

Fortunately, the Sun Moon Empire was also unstable during this period, with rumors spreading everywhere. The Holy Spirit Cult used the pretext of arresting people to offer them as sacrifices to the evil ruler, so they didn't feel any pressure.

Ye Xishui frowned as she looked at the evil lord who was releasing a powerful pressure in the air.

The wicked lord's unusual actions were not a good thing for their Holy Spirit Cult.

She tried to communicate with the evil lord, but received no response.

In fact, just half an hour later, the Evil Lord's enormous body transformed into a human form, its aura completely vanished, and it flew out of the Demon Forest.

Ye Xishui wanted to chase after it and ask what was going on, what made this ferocious beast with a cultivation level of 800,000 years need to leave its lair.

But she couldn't catch up. With her current severely injured state, it was impossible for her to catch up with the Evil Lord, so she had no choice but to give up.

Left with no other choice, Ye Xishui could only return to headquarters with a furrowed brow.

"No, the Evil Lord has been in the Demon Forest for hundreds of thousands of years. He couldn't have suddenly left without a reason!"

Soaking in the blood pool, Ye Xishui absorbed the energy within while pondering the meaning behind the Evil Lord's departure.

But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what could have made someone like the Evil Lord leave the Demon Forest so suddenly.

With the Evil Lord's strength, who on this continent could make him like this?
"Could it be!"

Seemingly remembering something, Ye Xishui quickly emerged from the blood pool again and, in the name of the Supreme Master, immediately summoned all the evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.

At the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters altar, the Holy Spirit Cult leader Zhongli Wu, along with some surviving elders and worshippers with Title Douluo cultivation levels, and the evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level, all looked rather grim.

After the last battle, they used a secret technique, which has a very strong backlash!
Even though they each have some means to reduce the intensity of the backlash, they still have to bear most of the backlash power.

Not to mention that some of their strongest members had been injured repeatedly, with new wounds on top of old ones, and they were almost killed.

"Why did the Supreme Master summon us here again? Is he going to attack Jiang Ming again?"

A Title Douluo-level evil soul master said with a worried expression.

"Impossible. They couldn't kill Jiang Ming in that situation last time. I really can't think of any other situation that could kill Jiang Ming."

Another elder, a titled Douluo-level figure, frowned deeply. When he mentioned Jiang Ming's name, his body trembled involuntarily, and he instinctively felt fear.

There's no other reason than that Jiang Ming is just ridiculously strong!
In every encounter between the Holy Spirit Sect and Jiang Ming, they suffered crushing defeats! And the price they paid was also devastating!
If they clash head-on with Jiang Ming again, the Holy Spirit Cult's resources might really be wiped out!

"If it really comes down to fighting Jiang Ming, I will absolutely not go again. That guy is simply not someone we can handle."

Another elder, a titled Douluo-level figure, said in a deep voice.

He is afraid!

Yes, as a Title Douluo-level evil soul master, as an evil soul master who fears nothing, he is now afraid!

Fighting Jiang Ming is tantamount to suicide!
Even if someone is a demonic spirit master, who would willingly seek death if they could live a good life?

"Quiet!"

Hearing the elders' whispers, the sect leader Zhongli Wu's face turned extremely ugly.

He could see that the elders and even the lower-level followers in the Holy Spirit Cult were starting to get scared of Jiang Ming.

But he couldn't stop this situation, after all, Jiang Ming was indeed too terrifying.

Even he, the cult leader, almost died at Jiang Ming's hands several times.

Not to mention the elders, worshippers, and followers, he himself also harbored some fear of Jiang Ming.

However, as the leader of the cult, he could not show weakness in front of his followers.

After Zhongliwu spoke, the altar fell silent.

A flash of bloody light appeared, and Ye Xishui's figure appeared on the throne of the altar.

"Enough with the small talk. This situation is rather sudden. Xiao Wu, you must immediately lead all the followers from headquarters and leave the Demon Forest. Take everything important with you, and destroy anything you can't take!"

Ye Xishui's voice was very hurried, and she sounded very anxious. The followers of the Holy Spirit Cult below the altar were stunned when they heard Ye Xishui's words.

Zhongli Wu looked up at his mother, his face full of confusion.

"Don't ask questions, just do as I say! This place is no longer suitable as the headquarters of the Holy Church. After you move the things from the headquarters, you start looking for another suitable place to build the headquarters. For the next few years, no one should show their face."

Ye Xishui looked at Zhongli Wu with a solemn expression.

After quickly finishing her sentence, she transformed into a streak of blood-red light and vanished, leaving behind a bewildered cult member.

"Master, what exactly is going on?"

The followers flocked to Zhongliwu, eager to find out what was going on.

You know, the Holy Church's headquarters has been located here for thousands of years. Is it too hasty to just change it now?
Moreover, the Holy Spirit Church has built up invaluable facilities here over the years; to just abandon them like that is simply too much.
"I don't know what happened either. If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the aura that suddenly erupted in the Demon Forest earlier!"

Zhongli Wu, being the cult leader, was quick-witted.

Not long ago, the Evil Lord made strange moves in the Demon Forest, and then his mother announced that she would abandon the place. There must be a connection between the two.

"Is it related to the Evil Lord?"

The followers looked at each other, some not understanding what necessary connection there was between the Evil Lord's departure and their desire to change headquarters.

"The Supreme Leader wouldn't issue such an order without reason. Act quickly! Take everything you can from headquarters, and destroy everything you can't take!"

Zhongli Wu already had a vague guess in his mind, but he did not intend to tell the followers in front of him.

If I were to voice my guess, who knows how panicked these people would become.

Soon, the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult began to move.

Even if a new suitable headquarters address cannot be found in such a short time, the Holy Spirit Cult still has many strongholds in the Sun Moon Empire. Moving the headquarters' equipment to the strongholds in a short period of time should not be a problem.

Soon, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, which had been operating for thousands of years, was simply moved into an empty shell.

It has to be said that having a storage soul tool makes moving incredibly convenient. In just half a day, everything that could be moved was moved. Some items that were too bulky were disassembled into parts and transported in batches.

If something really can't be dismantled, these evil spirit masters have plenty of ways to destroy it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming had already departed from Shrek Academy, passed through the Heavenly Soul Empire, and entered the Sun Moon Empire.

At his current speed, traveling at full speed, he could make a round trip from Shrek Academy to the Demon Forest in a single day.

The Douluo Continent is vast, but that's for ordinary people. Ordinary people can only travel a hundred miles a day at most, while Soul Masters can travel hundreds or even thousands of miles. Soul Masters equipped with flying Soul Tools can even fly thousands of miles a day without considering the consumption!
For a top expert like Jiang Ming, a distance of a thousand miles can be covered in less than half a day when traveling at full speed.

Jiang Ming set off from Shrek Academy in the morning and arrived at the Demon Forest in the afternoon.

He didn't immediately go to fight the Evil Lord. After flying for so long, he needed to restore himself to his peak condition.

In the Demon Forest, Jiang Ming walked while recovering his strength.

With the power of the little spirit and the advantage of dual-core drive, he can recover very quickly even without meditation.

While recovering, Jiang Ming also took the opportunity to capture some unique local spirit beasts in the Demon Forest.

After the small world appeared, he discovered that he might have a little bit of a collecting obsession, wanting to capture some soul beasts with regional characteristics in various soul beast gathering places on the continent to enrich the diversity of life in the small world.

The last time he came to this Demon Forest, he was primarily there to help Wang Qiu'er and the others complete their deep adventure. The Book of Spirits was sealed, so he couldn't capture them, only kill them. The next time he came, he was so focused on fighting the Evil Lord that he forgot about this task.

One, two, three.
Jiang Ming was having a great time capturing them. In the Demon Forest, apart from the Evil Lord, even a 100,000-year-old soul beast could not resist his power.

After these soul beasts were placed into the small world, Jiang Ming didn't need to worry about them anymore.

If Zhang Lexuan is Jiang Ming's capable wife, then Xue Di is Jiang Ming's capable wife in the small world.

As the master of soul beasts, she was far superior to Jiang Ming in managing them.

As Jiang Ming continued collecting, he ventured deeper into the Demon Forest, gradually gathering soul beasts that had been collected for hundreds or thousands of years, eventually increasing to tens of thousands of years.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are much stronger than hundred-year or thousand-year-old soul beasts, but there is no difference in front of Jiang Ming.

With a single move of Golden Pull, any ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that gets close has no chance of escaping.

However, as Jiang Ming ventured deeper, the commotion grew louder and louder, and the powerful soul beasts realized that there was great terror here, so they quickly moved away.

In other words, the Demon Forest is the largest gathering place of soul beasts within the Sun Moon Empire. Otherwise, after Jiang Ming killed a wave last time and captured another wave this time, most of which were soul beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation, the Demon Forest would probably be completely ruined.

"Roar!"

A roar came from the depths of the Demon Forest, and a huge shadow covered a section of the forest, pressing down on Jiang Ming.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast!
"Oh, it's an old friend."

Jiang Ming's lips curled into a slight smile, and then his figure vanished from the spot.

The next second, he appeared above the head of a 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant.

"Long time no see, let's have a good 'warming' moment!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Ming threw a punch!
He didn't intend to kill this Evil Eye Tyrant. He had plenty of both 100,000-year soul rings and 100,000-year soul bones.

However, it's still quite good to use the Evil Eye Tyrant, with his 100,000 years of cultivation, to bolster the high-end combat power of the small world.

However, if we want to forcibly take this guy into the small world, we still need to weaken his condition first.

How many moves could the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant withstand from Jiang Ming, who was only at level 96 and had not yet fused with the spirit?

The answer is three moves!

More accurately, it was two punches, plus a mental attack!
The force of those two punches nearly shattered the giant eyeball of this Evil Eye Tyrant! And that mental attack, after his mental power cultivation had greatly improved, was something this 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant couldn't withstand.

Even though the Evil Eye Tyrant Clan's greatest strength is mental power, it was instantly crushed by Jiang Ming!
