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

Chapter 261 The Holy Spirit Cult's Major Move! The Extermination of Three Emperors!

"Rumble!"

As the Abyss Saint Lord gently raised his palm, the doors on both sides of the palace closed, and the Wise Emperor, who was bowing in respect, was also helped up by a mysterious force.

"Emperor Zhi, do you know why I have sought you out this time?" The Abyss Saint looked down at Emperor Zhi with his bewitching red eyes and asked in a calm voice.

Emperor Zhi's vertical pupils flickered slightly as he quickly reviewed his recent whereabouts and his lord's deeds. After confirming there were no oversights, he respectfully replied:
“Your Majesty, I am your loyal subject. Although I do not know what Your Majesty wishes to discuss, anything concerning you is of utmost importance to me. As long as it is your command, I will simply complete it.”

"You... really..." The Abyss Saint King shook his head slightly, his face showing helplessness, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Emperor Zhi was indeed a loyal minister! A truly loyal minister! His loyalty is beyond question!

"The main reason I summoned you here today is regarding matters concerning the Douluo Plane." The Abyss Saint King tapped his pale fingers on the throne as he slowly spoke:

"Previously, I received a message from the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, saying that their Holy Spirit Cult is collecting the life force and blood of tens of millions of living beings as nourishment for a blood sacrifice, preparing to use the Blood River God-Slaying Array to break through the shackles of godhood and thus achieve the realm of gods."

When the words "gods" were spoken, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Saint King, who then continued:
"Furthermore, the Demon Emperor will choose a location near the Abyss Passage to become a god, and then use the Blood River God-Slaying Array to conceal the secrets of heaven, helping us break through the seal to enter the Douluo Plane. What do you think about this?"

"This is a good thing." Emperor Zhi stroked the book in his hand and said flatteringly, "Once the Blood River God-Slaying Array is fully formed, we can launch a full-scale attack on the Douluo Plane. At that time, Your Majesty's reign over the world will be just around the corner!"

"Hmm." The Abyss Saint King nodded slightly, then asked meaningfully, "Emperor of Wisdom, do you find the Holy Spirit Cult trustworthy?"

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Holy Spirit Cult is the most evil organization in the Douluo Plane, and its evil soul masters are extremely united. There should be no one who betrays them, so they should be able to successfully construct the Blood River God-Slaying Array." Emperor Zhi pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Moreover, once they complete the Blood River God-Slaying Array, our Abyss Army will be able to enter the Douluo Plane and with the arrival of Your Majesty, the question of whether the Holy Spirit Cult is credible will become irrelevant."

"Whether or not the Holy Spirit Cult exists is no longer important..."

As the Emperor of Wisdom finished speaking, a slight smile flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Saint King.

The Wise Emperor was right; once he successfully descends, the Holy Spirit Cult will lose its value.

Ants cannot possibly share food with dragons.

Emperor Zhi looked at the Abyss Saint King, but in his heart he was thinking that he should tell his lord this news as soon as possible.

The Holy Spirit Church is in such dire straits that His Lord is certainly unaware.

Moreover, given how evil the Holy Spirit Cult is, he must also urge Emperor Ba to protect the Lord well.

After all, he knew that the Underworld Emperor, Ghost Emperor, and Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult all possessed strength comparable to their Ten Abyss Emperors.

"Emperor of Wisdom, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Your wisdom is truly astounding; you saw the problem at a glance." The Abyss Saint King first praised him, then slowly said with a hint of sarcasm:

"However, there is a problem that has been troubling me: even if the seal is broken, the power of heaven and earth in the Douluo plane will still repel a powerhouse of my level. So how can I descend?"

Emperor Zhi's eyes narrowed, as if he had figured out a profound secret, but he shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am foolish and would appreciate your enlightening guidance."

The Abyss Saint King gave Emperor Zhi a deep look and slightly raised his hand, saying, "If I wish to descend upon the Douluo Plane, I need the origins of the previous few layers of the Abyss Plane to pave the way for me and counteract the repulsion of the power of heaven and earth..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his head buzzed. These words undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.

But before he could regain his composure, he saw the Abyss Saint King gently stroking the flowing abyssal energy in the air, and say in a calm voice:

The wind is rising, and it's time for Emperor Ling and the others to die for me..."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhi did not hesitate at all and immediately bowed, saying, "Your subject is also willing to die for Your Majesty! I hope Your Majesty will grant my request!"

Upon hearing this, the Abyss Saint King's expression immediately changed.

He knew that Emperor Zhi was loyal, but he did not expect that Emperor Zhi would be so loyal.

It's important to understand that for ordinary deaths, even the Abyss King can be resurrected through the plane's origin. However, if the plane's origin is gone, then it's a true death!

The Abyss Saint King's tone wavered as he said, "Emperor of Wisdom, do you know that without the origin of the Abyss Plane, death is truly death?"

"If I can contribute to the Holy Ruler's grand plan, I will have no complaints," Emperor Zhi said with righteous indignation. "I will devote myself to the cause until my dying breath."

Of course, he wasn't afraid at all; by then, he would have already transferred the Abyss Origin to his master, Jiang Xiu.

He didn't understand the meaning of "dying until the very end"!

Seeing the Abyss Saint King's expression slightly thoughtful, the Wise Emperor's face became even more glorious, even showing the demeanor of someone willing to die for their cause: "Saint King, immortality is not my wish, but I hope you will prosper!"

"Emperor Zhi, you... sigh, we'll talk about it later." The Abyss Saint King looked at the loyal Emperor Zhi and felt a slight pang of pity, so he waved his hand slightly.

He knew very well that Emperor Zhi would agree, after all, in the Abyss Plane, Emperor Zhi was the one he trusted the most, and Emperor Zhi had no room to disagree, but he did not expect Emperor Zhi to be so loyal.

Immediately, the Abyss Saint asked, "Don't you want to ask me why the Spirit Emperor and the other two emperors had to die?"

“Your Majesty, there is certainly a reason for your decision. I will simply carry it out,” Emperor Zhi said, shaking his head slightly.

The Abyss Saint King further inquired, "Does this mean that you would be willing to die just because they stepped into the palace with their left foot?" "Saint King, you are the sun of the Abyss Plane. We, your subordinates, can never repay your kindness."

"It is their honor to die for you, the Spirit Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and the Fierce Emperor."

Emperor Zhi said solemnly.

"Good!" The Abyss Saint King's smile widened, and he then instructed, "I'll leave this matter to you. Once the seal is broken, you will guide the other eight emperors to the Douluo Plane, and then use your complete Nine Palaces Battlefield to help me collect the power of that plane's origin."

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhi cursed inwardly. He hadn't expected that even after using all the acting skills he had honed over thousands of years, the Abyss Saint King would still order him to die.

A complete nine-square grid battlefield requires eighteen people to fight in pairs. Obviously, in addition to the eight emperors, there is also this wise emperor.

It's like throwing your loyalty to a dog...

No! He's no longer loyal to the Abyss Saint King either.

"It seems the second lesson on forgetting one's roots will have to be put on the agenda," Emperor Zhi thought to himself.

But on the surface, he still agreed respectfully without the slightest complaint.

Suddenly, the Abyss Saint King seemed to have thought of something: "By the way, Emperor Zhi, if the plane's origin is sufficient, the Heavenly Bull Emperor doesn't need to enter the Nine Palaces Grid. I still want to use him as my mount in battle."

"Yes!" Emperor Zhi replied respectfully, but in his heart he was already planning how to make Niu Niu lift the Abyss Saint King at the crucial moment.

Seemingly as encouragement, the Abyss Saint King spoke up: "Emperor of Wisdom, do you have any needs? Please feel free to make them known."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhi's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I have only one wish in my life: to travel through space and broaden my horizons."

"Now I have traveled to most of the Abyss Plane and experienced its customs and culture. There is only one wish left to fulfill. I wonder if Your Majesty would grant it?"

"Speak," the Abyss Saint King said succinctly.

"I have witnessed the formidable power of Your Majesty when you wielded the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd. Now that this divine weapon is in the hands of Emperor Lie, I wonder if I may have the opportunity to observe it?" Emperor Zhi asked softly, his eyes gleaming.

This is his master's future ultimate artifact, so naturally he must create an opportunity to take it back.

The Abyss Saint King's gaze was deep and thoughtful. After a moment of consideration, he said, "That's fine, but it's not appropriate for the three emperors to know about my awakening yet. When I announce my return from seclusion three years later, I will let you observe for a few days."

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" Emperor Zhi was overjoyed to see that the Holy Lord of the Abyss had agreed.

Three years is not a long time, and his master is not ready yet, nor has he obtained the Vajra Bracelet. It is not too late for him to take it after his master is ready.

"Any other requests?" the Abyss Saint asked.

"I have no other requests," Emperor Zhi said, shaking his head slightly and bowing.

He knew the Abyss Saint King's personality very well. If he really made another request, the Abyss Saint King would be displeased. What he said just now was just a polite remark.

"Very well, I have one more thing for you to do." Seeing that the Wise Emperor was not carried away by his pride, the Abyss Saint King's eyes flashed with satisfaction before he spoke.

"What are your orders?" Emperor Zhi asked softly, somewhat puzzled.

"It won't be long before the full force of our army is on the border. Unrest is most likely to occur before a war, so I want you to monitor the entire Abyss Plane and find those who are disloyal, unjust, and have ulterior motives."

The Abyss Saint King gave his instructions, each word deliberate and meaningful.

"Huh?" Emperor Zhi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Let him go and monitor people who have ulterior motives?
"What? You're unwilling?" The Abyss Saint Lord raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Your subject obeys. How could I possibly refuse to serve Your Majesty!" Emperor Zhi hurriedly replied.

He hadn't been able to react to the surprise so suddenly.

What is a surprise? This is a surprise!
"Very well, you may leave now. Do not spread the news of my premature awakening." The Abyss Saint Lord nodded slightly.

Throughout the entire Abyss Plane, the Wise Emperor was the most loyal to him, so he naturally wanted to give him an important position.

"Ah! My most benevolent, virtuous, powerful, and supreme king, your loyal subject takes his leave first."

Emperor Zhi gave a salutation and respectfully retreated.

"boom!"

As the heavy palace doors closed, Emperor Zhi's lips slowly curled into a smile.

He is indeed loyal to the wise ruler, but he didn't specify which ruler he was loyal to...
