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

Chapter 458 The Ambush Targeting Jiang Xiu! The Ghost Emperor Takes the Blame!

"Oh, isn't this the righteous and evil-slaying master of the Ancient Tower? What brings you to call me?"

After a moment of silence, a sinister, mocking laugh came from the other end of the communication device, which then abruptly changed, carrying a murderous aura.

"Want some more fish? You're not even qualified to shine my shoes!"

On the wilderness, the Ghost Emperor was resting in a sorry state with the four Dark Heavenly Kings and a group of Holy Spirit Cult elders.

The Ghost Emperor's face was contorted with rage, and the fury in his eyes was rising uncontrollably.

Despite the great difficulty in transporting the two God-Slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells and destroying Shrek Academy and Tang Sect headquarters, the tens of millions of federal citizens in Shrek City are still alive!

He didn't get a single soul or blood essence from the Blood River God-Slaying Array he constructed!
His plan to become a god failed!
How could he not be furious!
Inside the Spirit Pagoda Master's office, the Ancient Pagoda Master listened to the Ghost Emperor's low roar with a furrowed brow, his voice instantly turning cold.

"Ghost Emperor, don't blame this on me. I've already helped you transport the God-Slaying Fixed-Position Soul Guidance Cannon, and didn't your plan to destroy Shrek Academy and Tang Sect headquarters succeed?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of frustration flashed in the Ghost Emperor's eyes. What he wanted were the souls and lifeblood of those nearly ten million living beings!
At this moment, the sound of the eternal east wind continued to resound.

"Moreover, you haven't fulfilled your promise to let Long Yeyue and Shrek Academy be blown up together, and I haven't even dealt with you yet!"

Hearing this, the Ghost Emperor felt even more aggrieved.

Little did he know that Long Yeyue was so irresponsible. When Shrek Academy was facing a crisis, she actually ran away. She was even worse than the Sea God Pavilion Master from ten thousand years ago. Moreover, Long Yeyue's speed surprised even him.

"Speak, what do you want from me?" The Ghost Emperor suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said coldly.

He no longer needs the "Eternal East Wind," so there's no need for him to be as polite as before.

The Tower Master of the Ancient Tower clearly noticed the change in the Ghost Emperor's tone, but remembering what he had to do next, he could only say in a deep voice:
"Ghost Emperor, do you know that Jiang Xiu has been nominated as a federal senator because he saved millions of federal citizens in Shrek City? His progress is too fast. We absolutely cannot let him grow any further. Do you understand?"

"Jiang Xiu saved the people of the Federation?" Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor paused for a moment, then his anger surged.

Jiang Xiu has effectively cut off his path to godhood!

"Kill! He must be killed! It will not be enough to quell the hatred in my heart if he is not killed!" the Ghost Emperor shouted, each word distinct and deliberate.

He has made up his mind: first kill Jiang Xiu, then gradually collect souls and blood essence, and step by step reach the top!
Hearing the Ghost Emperor agree so easily, Qian Gu Dongfeng was even a little curious. Did the Ghost Emperor and Jiang Xiu have some great hatred between them?

However, since the Ghost Emperor had agreed, Qian Gu Dongfeng stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice:
"I, the Tower Master, have an excellent opportunity. Jiang Xiu will soon be heading to the Star Luo Continent to represent the Federation in subjugating the Star Luo Empire."

At that time, far from Shrek City and the Body Sect, there will be no powerful figures protecting Jiang Xiu around, which will be the best opportunity to strike!

"Go to the Star Luo Empire and subdue it?"

The Ghost Emperor murmured, as if he had thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in his dark green eyes: "Master of the Ancient Tower, do you mean that the Federation is going to take action against the Star Luo Empire?"

“That’s right.” Qian Gu Dong Feng nodded slightly.

The Ghost Emperor's eyes instantly turned sinister as a plan to collect enough souls and blood essence surfaced in his mind.

"If Jiang Xiu dies in the Star Luo Empire, then the Federation will send troops to attack the Star Luo Empire, whether for the sake of face or for the sake of unification..."

"When the flames of war ignite, countless people will die as a result. That will be the best opportunity for me to collect materials for the Blood River God-Slaying Array!"

Qian Gu Dong Feng frowned upon hearing the Ghost Emperor's silence. "Ghost Emperor, this is the best opportunity to kill Jiang Xiu. Don't miss it."

"Hehehe, rest assured, Tower Master of the Eternal Age, how could I possibly miss this opportunity? I'm too busy cherishing it to even think about it."

After having the idea of ​​collecting materials, the Ghost Emperor felt much better and chuckled:

"To ensure success this time, I will personally take action. If I fail, I will commit seppuku!"

With his near-god level cultivation, facing a mere Soul Douluo would be a piece of cake.

"You better be."

Qian Gu Dongfeng silently thought to himself, after all, the Ghost Emperor had said the same thing last time.

But then, the Ghost Emperor said with a sinister smile, "However, our Holy Spirit Sect has suffered heavy losses this time, and we hope that the Tower Master of the Eternal Ages will provide some assistance..."

"I've already planned out the best time for you to make your move," Qian Gu Dongfeng said coldly.

The Ghost Emperor remained completely calm and slowly said:
"If the Body Sect finds out you're going to kill Jiang Xiu..."

"How dare you threaten me?" Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression changed, and his tone immediately turned serious.

The Ghost Emperor continued meaningfully:
"If the Federation finds out that you transported two god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells and colluded with evil soul masters..."

Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end he suppressed his resentment and asked, "How can I help you?"

"I need Jiang Xiu's route after he goes to the Federation, and I need to ensure that no experts from the Body Sect are secretly following him," the Ghost Emperor said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Okay." Qian Gu Dong Feng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I also need information on the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, as well as its exact location," the Ghost Emperor continued.

"Are you crazy!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng was taken aback for a moment, then roared angrily, "The Eternal Heaven Kingdom is located in the War God Temple, which is even safer than the 13th District of the Federation. This Tower Master does not have the strength to do so!"

"You even dare to covet the position of Speaker of the Sun and Moon Federation..." the Ghost Emperor continued.

But before the Ghost Emperor could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Eternal East Wind, "This Tower Master can only do his best!"

After reciting "The Eternal East Wind," a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes. The Ghost Emperor knew far too much...

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor chuckled sinisterly and hung up the communication device. Then, his gaze swept over the people behind him, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

These powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult were the forces that helped him kill Jiang Xiu, and as evil soul masters, they would never betray the Holy Spirit Cult.

When the Ghost Emperor's gaze fell upon the Dark Blood Demon, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes. The Dark Blood Demon's aura was now completely weak.

"To insist on pretending to be divine with Yali is like trying to carry a lantern in the toilet."

The Ghost Emperor sighed inwardly, remembering how even he had fallen to Ya Li back then.

Immediately, the Ghost Emperor instructed the Dark Bell and Dark Phoenix to look at the two beside him, for these were the ones he could trust.

"Dark Bell, Dark Phoenix, you two will accompany me to the Star Luo Empire to ambush Jiang Xiu!"

"Yes, sir!" Dark Bell quietly put away a mini soul tool from her sleeve and nodded.

The Dark Phoenix was the same; a slightly manic blush appeared on her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Leng Yaozhu.

She knew that her older sister, Leng Yaozhu, cared a lot about Jiang Xiu, so if Jiang Xiu died, it would be even more exciting!
After a moment's thought, recalling Jiang Xiu's many near-death experiences, the Ghost Emperor's eyes hardened, and he immediately sent a message to the Underworld Emperor.

"Emperor of the Underworld, come quickly! Join me in annihilating Jiang Xiu, the great threat to the Holy Spirit Cult!"

With more people, there is more strength. The more Underworld Emperors there are, the more secure they will be in killing Jiang Xiu!
"But it's alright now. Although I haven't become a god, at least I still have the Underworld Emperor to accompany me."

The thought that the Underworld Emperor was also stuck at the quasi-god level made the Ghost Emperor feel a little better.

"drop!"

But at that moment, a skeleton inside the Ghost Emperor's black robe suddenly trembled, and the Ghost Emperor's expression changed instantly.

Because it was a token used by the Demon Emperor to contact him.

After setting up the soundproof barrier, the Ghost Emperor immediately opened it.

But the voice that came out was not that of the Demon Emperor, but that of the Abyss Saint King!

"Ghost Emperor, you must return to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters immediately!"

"Your Majesty, what has happened?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor instantly had a bad feeling.

Then the Demon Emperor's voice rang out again from within the skull.

"Ghost Emperor, come back first. The Abyss Saint King wants to ask you why the aftershocks of the God-Slaying Fixed-Position Soul-Guided Cannonball bombed the Abyss Plane."

"What? Bombing the Abyss Dimension?"

The Ghost Emperor's eyes were somewhat dazed, and he was immediately stunned.

He felt as if a huge black pot was being thrown at him...

……

Inside the Spirit Pagoda.

After disconnecting the Ghost Emperor's communication soul tool, Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression instantly turned gloomy.

The Ghost Emperor actually dared to threaten him!

At that moment, a secret message was sent to his communication soul tool.

After reading the message, Qian Gu Dongfeng raised an eyebrow slightly and murmured, "Why did Leng Yaozhu go to the Star Luo Empire at this time..."

After a moment's thought, Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes hardened, and he immediately sent a message to Zhang Geyang, who was in the Star Luo Empire.

"Secretly cooperate with the people arranged by this tower master to kill Jiang Xiu, if possible..."

"Kill Leng Yaozhu as well!"

After sending the message, seeing Zhang Geyang's completely obedient response, Qian Gu Dongfeng's lips curled slightly. He then turned around and looked through the floor-to-ceiling window behind him toward the location of the Body Sect.

"The Body Sect should go with Shrek Academy..."

"The East Wind of a Thousand Ages" said with a serene gaze.

His plan was flawless.

After all, neither the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Pagoda branch nor the Holy Spirit Cult had anyone from the Body Sect...

It was at this moment, in the cultivation room on the top floor of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly opened his eyes. For some reason, he had a very ominous premonition. At his level, the only reason for such a premonition, besides his own personal crisis, was the fate of his Qian Gu family, which he cared about most.

The next moment, Qian Gu Die Ting had a tortoise shell in his hand, but after thinking for a moment, he still did not activate it.

Although this tortoise shell artifact can predict future fortunes, it consumes irreparable life force. At his current age, if he were to use it again, it would very likely cause a drop in his combat power.

"Forget it, the Qian Gu family is thriving under Dong Feng's leadership right now, so there shouldn't be any problems..."

Qian Gu Die Ting murmured softly, and after much deliberation, slowly put away the tortoise shell.

Just as Qian Gu Dong Feng was feeling that his flawless plan was perfect.

Jiang Xiu, who had just entered the Body Sect, suddenly received two messages...
