Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

As expected, Zhongli Wu's gaze slowly shifted to Abomination Douluo. Although he showed no expression, the invisible pressure emanating from him instantly caused Abomination Douluo to break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly lower his head: "Master, this subordinate only..."

"That's enough," Zhongli Wu interrupted him indifferently.

In his eyes, this infighting and sabotage was actually a reflection of the true nature of his madmen.

"...The hatred for Mu En..." Zhongli Wu slowly stood up, his blood-red robe fluttering without wind. "Very good, welcome to the Holy Spirit Cult."

He raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Peng: "Zhang Peng, from this day forward, you will be an honored disciple of my Holy Spirit Cult."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Peng felt much more at ease.

For the next few days, Zhang Peng stayed at the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

Calling it living was an understatement; it was more like being in hell. The longer he stayed, the more horrified he became. These beasts were truly inhuman!

The blood pool filled with severed limbs, the still-fresh blood on the altar, and the living people whose souls had been extracted and who were now just empty shells... If he weren't now worshipped by the Holy Spirit Cult, he would probably have become nourishment for this gloomy place long ago.

Of course, he also collected a lot of resentment along the way.

Fortunately, these suffocating days did not last long.

On this day, a violent fluctuation that shattered one's soul suddenly came from the sky above the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

An immense and suffocating spiritual force swept across the entire area, and the air seemed to be stained with an eerie purplish-red color.

"Master Zhongli, how have you been?"

A deep voice didn't resonate through the ears, but exploded directly in the minds of all the powerful individuals present.

The one who came was none other than the Evil Emperor.

Zhongli Wu's expression changed, and his figure instantly floated into the air, with black energy surging around him.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and several elders and retainers of the Holy Spirit Cult appeared, their murderous auras surrounding Zhong Liwu and protecting him behind them.

"Evil Emperor, we have already made a decision to keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other!" Zhongli Wuqiang suppressed his shock and shouted in a deep voice.

In mid-air, the Evil Emperor transformed into human form, looking down at the gloomy buildings below, his tone filled with undisguised mockery: "Sect Leader Zhongli, don't be hasty. I'm not here to start a war today, but to discuss cooperation."

"I wonder how Your Majesty the Evil Emperor intends to cooperate?" Ye Xishui's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly calm, but in reality, her entire soul power was already gathering momentum.

"Naturally, it would be of immense benefit to your Holy Spirit Cult." The Evil Emperor grinned, revealing his gleaming white fangs. "I've heard that you haven't had an easy time acquiring spirit rings these past two years?"

"Please, Your Excellency." Ye Xishui gestured for him to enter the headquarters hall.

Stepping into the main hall, the Evil Emperor frowned in disgust: "Not that I'm saying anything, but your Holy Spirit Cult really needs to change its aesthetic sense. It's always so gloomy and bloody, it's just unlucky to look at."

"Your Excellency, please sit." Zhongli Wu suppressed his displeasure and led the Evil Emperor to the round table.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Peng, who was at the very end of the table, couldn't help but hold his breath. The scene made even him feel a chill run down his spine.

The Evil Emperor lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, deliberately emphasizing the words "Beast God": "Because of that 'Beast God's' ban and the new rules of the Spirit Pagoda, your Holy Spirit Cult has lost quite a few elites in the past two years trying to obtain a Soul Ring, hasn't it?"

Zhongli Wu sighed, thinking of his three loyal servants—Zhongli Tian, ​​Zhongli Di, and Zhongli Ren.

These three Soul Douluos infiltrated the Star Dou Great Forest to scout ahead for their disciples, but ultimately met a gruesome end.

Until their deaths, the three brothers probably had only one thought in their minds: Why would Xiong Jun, one of the ten most ferocious beasts, wander around the mixed zone like a retired old man with nothing better to do?

If the Bear King, far away in the Starry Sky Forest, knew this, he would probably yawn: "My old bear's offspring have had cubs! As the ancestor, should I go and see if there's a problem? I've even named these two little cubs Da Mao and Er Mao. I'm a cultured bear now; naming things is a piece of cake!"

"The Beast God?" Ye Xishui keenly grasped the deeper meaning in the Evil Emperor's words and tentatively asked, "Does Your Excellency have any thoughts about that person?"

"If Emperor Tian can be the Beast God, why can't I?" The Evil Emperor waved his hand back, his tone becoming fanatical.

The Evil Emperor's inner monologue: Brother Di Tian, ​​I only did this to fool these bastards. I didn't actually want to be the Beast God at all...

"You should have noticed the major lockdown of the Demon Forest's core area two years ago, right? Back then, that bastard Di Tian came knocking, demanding a 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant, and it even had to be one of my children! How could I possibly accept such a thing? I fought him fiercely, and although I lost, I still made him suffer a silent loss!"

Because the core area of ​​the Demon Forest is shrouded in the mental energy field of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan year-round, the outside world has no way of knowing the details. Moreover, before the battle between the Evil Emperor and Emperor Tian, ​​the Evil Emperor specifically ordered his clansmen to use their mental energy to seal off the entire core area, which gave the Evil Emperor the confidence to fabricate stories.

"Of the ten ferocious beasts, Xing Dou alone possesses six, plus that monster Di Tian is in charge. I've tolerated this situation for a long time!"

The Evil Emperor stood up, his aura surging. "To be honest, I have 790,000 years of cultivation. The next Heavenly Tribulation is just around the corner. After I die, I can't guarantee that that bastard won't take the opportunity to devour the Demon Forest."

Therefore, I need to borrow his cultivation to help me overcome my tribulation! With his cultivation, I might even be able to reach the god level!

The Evil Emperor looked around, seeing the greedy eyes of the crowd, and threw out the final bait: "Moreover, Di Tian possesses the dual attributes of extreme darkness and extreme light."

If your Holy Spirit Cult goes to Starry Sky Soul Hunting again and completely angers him, he will definitely send out his entire force!

Therefore, we must join forces to hunt down the Beast God!!!

"After this is done, his soul bones and soul rings will all belong to your Holy Spirit Cult! I only want his pure dragon essence!"

The Evil Emperor's inner monologue: Brother Di Tian, ​​this was all to deceive these bastards. I don't want your dragon origin at all...

"Alright! Let's discuss the specifics properly!" Ye Xishui broke the silence first, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented brilliance.

Di Tian's soul ring is very likely the only chance to complete her second martial soul, "Phoenix of Light".

Looking across the world, besides her, a level 99 Limit Douluo, who else could withstand the Beast God's soul ring and soul bone?

More importantly, if she can devour Di Tian, ​​she will have the opportunity to break through the mortal realm and ascend to godhood!

"Well then, it's a pleasure to cooperate!" The Evil Emperor let out a low, gratifying laugh.

"To show my sincerity, I might as well reveal a secret." A strange red rune appeared between the Evil Emperor's brows. "My Evil Eye clan has a soul-enhancing technique called 'Mind Communication.' As long as one has the bloodline of the Evil Eye, no matter how far apart we are, I can sense that person instantly."

In order to maintain the so-called "good neighborly relations" between the Demon Forest and the Star Dou Great Forest, this Emperor "generously" shared this information with Emperor Tian.

A sly glint flashed in the Evil Emperor's eyes as he continued, "That stupid dragon, for the sake of the so-called 'big picture,' actually agreed to let me send a few Evil Eye Tyrants as 'resident envoys' outside the core area of ​​the Star Dou."

"Ha... Now, Di Tian's whereabouts are as clear as the lines on the palm of my hand!"

He paused, his tone becoming increasingly seductive: "As for information on the other ferocious beasts, there is countless. However... there is one in particular that I believe you will all find interesting."
