Douluo: Being kidnapped into the Holy Spirit Church at the beginning

In the wilderness far from Shrek Academy.

Military camps have long been built here, and under the bright soul guide lamps, rows of well-equipped soldiers are ready to go. All of these people are soul masters.

In this vast wilderness, five Soul Master military camps stood separately, with tens of thousands of Soul Masters scattered around. The chilling aura that filled the sky even dispersed the dark clouds above.

And at the command center in the very center of the military camp.

"I believe everyone has already understood my arrangements, so I won't go into details here. We will make up for it immediately after the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest recedes tomorrow." Kong Deming sat at the head of the meeting, his gaze slowly sweeping over each general, and said in a deep voice.

“Shrek City is now home not only to Shrek Academy, but also to the last remnants of the three great empires. To prevent them from rising again, we must exterminate them.”

"Understood, sir!" the other generals replied, bowing respectfully.

They had been lying in ambush here for three days, waiting for the beast tide to recede the next day. Then they would replace the soul beasts to continue surrounding Shrek City and exterminate all the people who originally belonged to the three great empires.

"Master Kong, what should we do if Shrek Academy protects those remnants?" one of the generals stepped forward and asked.

"I don't want such a prestigious academy, the best in the continent, to disappear just like that, but if they can't grasp the situation, then we'll help them," Kong Deming said, his eyes narrowing slightly, his tone icy.

"Don't forget the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons we brought this time. If Shrek Academy is unwilling to hand over those people, then let them all be wiped out along with Shrek City."

Kong Deming knew very well that when doing something, one should carry it out completely in one go. Now that there was such a good opportunity to wipe out all the remaining people, he would never miss it, so as to consolidate the ruling position of their Sun Moon Empire.

As for Shrek Academy, to be honest, he doesn't take it seriously right now.

At worst, we can just fire a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell. If one isn't enough, we can fire two, and if two aren't enough, we can fire three. Anyway, Shrek Academy is a major threat if it stays around.

Upon hearing this, all the generals' expressions turned solemn.

"Alright, if there are no more questions, you can all go down now. Make preparations as soon as possible, as we absolutely cannot afford to fail tomorrow," Kong Deming instructed.

All the generals nodded slightly: "Yes, sir!"

But at that moment, Wang Yiheng, who was standing to Kong Deming's right, suddenly brightened up, as if he had received some kind of telepathic message. However, his expression returned to normal in an instant, and he walked out of the military camp with the other generals.

But he couldn't contain his excitement: "I never expected that Lord Banner Master would actually return! This is wonderful!"

He originally thought Jiang would never appear, after all, the other party had disappeared for nearly half a year, but at this moment he felt the pull of his soul fire.

However, he was unsure what his lord, the Banner Master, was trying to do now—whether he was helping the Sun Moon Empire destroy Shrek Academy or had other motives.

As many generals left the military camp, the spacious camp instantly became somewhat deserted, leaving only Kong Deming behind.

"Tianran, what you wanted to do back then, I'm almost there for you now. Once we take over Shrek City, the entire Douluo Continent will belong to our Sun Moon Empire."

Looking at the map of the mainland on the table in front of him, Kong Deming sighed slightly, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He probably couldn't have believed it himself, that their Sun Moon Empire had actually conquered all three former empires in such a short time, but the fact was they had done it. "After annihilating Shrek City, the next step is... to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult." Kong Deming slowly rolled up the map on the table, a hint of indifference flashing in his aged eyes.

Seeking help from a tiger is not a long-term solution, especially since their Sun Moon Empire has already conquered the entire continent and no longer needs the Holy Spirit Cult as an ally.

As for Xu Tianran's earlier decision to establish the Holy Spirit Sect as the state religion, Kong Deming didn't care at all, since Xu Tianran was already dead, so it naturally couldn't be considered an agreement.

As for the question of winning or losing, Kong Deming was also very confident. He did not believe that a small sect could withstand an entire vast empire.

After conquering the three former empires, the strength of their Sun Moon Empire not only did not decrease, but also greatly increased. With the abundant supply of rare metals, all kinds of powerful soul tools were produced.

"Let's make a plan: eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult within a year!" Kong Deming muttered to himself, his hands behind his back.

This was in his command center, equipped with a level nine soul-guided defense device; he firmly believed that no one could hear him speak.

"Master Kong, that's not right of you. We haven't even fully unified the continent yet, and you're already planning how to destroy our Holy Church."

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the silent military camp, followed by ripples in the space, and Jiang Jue stepped out of the space.

"How is this possible! How did you get in!" Kong Deming's expression suddenly changed when he saw Jiang Jue, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

The level-nine protective soul-guided shield outside the military camp was made by his own hands. It also contains monitoring and alarm functions. Even a Limit Douluo who can use spatial abilities would never be able to sneak in silently.

"Old Kong, your alarm system needs an upgrade; it's a bit outdated." Jiang Jue smiled slightly and sat down in the chair on the right.

“Since you heard everything just now, it seems that I cannot let you live today,” Kong Deming stared intently at Jiang Jue, his eyes radiating murderous intent. “You should have left just now, but you insisted on staying and even dared to appear in front of me. You don’t think you can resist the entire Sun and Moon Army by yourself, do you?”

"Then you can give it a try." Jiang Jue chuckled and gestured for Kong Deming to do as he thought.

"Snapped!"

Kong Deming sneered and pressed a red button on the table, which was the alarm system used to notify the military camp.

But the next moment, Kong Deming's smile froze on his face, because the warning device did not sound any alarm, and even the dazzling red mist that should have risen into the sky did not erupt.

"What have you done?!" Kong Deming frowned, pointing his finger at Jiang Jue.

"I forgot to tell you, Elder Kong, since you're thinking of burning bridges after crossing the river, it just so happens that I'm thinking of doing the same thing." Jiang Jue slowly stood up and said with a smile.

But that kind smile sent a chill down Kong Deming's spine.

"What do you want to do? Although I can't beat you, tens of thousands of troops are right outside the camp. The noise of our fight will definitely alert them, and then you won't be able to leave either," Kong Deming threatened, looking at Jiang Jue who was getting closer and closer.
