I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Listening to He Caitou's words, Xu Xingyu knew that the other party hadn't actually said anything wrong.

Based on the intelligence we have now, it's only a matter of time before the Sun Moon Empire takes action against the Qiling Tower.

Whether it's conquering the Star Luo Empire first or forcing Qilingta to submit directly, Qilingta will lose its neutral stance.

After careful consideration, Xu Xingyu agreed to He Caitou's request, because He Caitou, as a former member of the Sun Moon Empire, still knew some of the Sun Moon Empire's secrets.

When war breaks out, He Caitou's intelligence will be of great help to Qiling Tower.

After accepting He Caitou's request to join the Spirit Tower, Xu Xingyu gave He Caitou a card and asked him to take some time to go to the Spirit Tower in Shrek City to complete the joining procedures.

He Caitou quickly thanked the other party, said goodbye to Xu Xingyu, and returned to his dormitory building.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Forest of the Sun and Moon Empire, there is a large church located underground near Mingdu.

That place is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult and the gathering place for most of the evil spirit masters on the continent.

At this moment, no one in the Holy Spirit Cult dared to make a move. Why? Because their boss, the Holy Spirit Cult Leader, was angry.

A man dressed in black robes roared at the several evil spirit masters kneeling on the ground in front of him, who were trembling with fear: "So even with the blessing of the sacred object and the help of my wife, you still failed to bring the sacred object back!"

!

'

"Not only have we failed to bring them back, but we've also lost so many men! Among them was your vice-leader, who is also my wife! Are you all pigs?! How can you be so incompetent at everything!"

!

! "

Those evil spirit masters who were being reprimanded were the survivors of the last Shrek extermination operation. They had no way to retaliate against their leader's reprimand!

They were just a group of evil soul masters who weren't even at the Soul Master level. Without the blessing of the sacred artifact, they had no chance of resisting the encirclement and attack from Shrek Academy. It was even more difficult for them to survive and pass on this information.

Unfortunately, Zhongli Wu, as the leader of the cult, did not care about those trivial matters at all. All he cared about was not obtaining the sacred object, which cost many believers, including his own wife.

To preface this, Zhongli Wu has no feelings for his wife. She is mainly a good breeding tool and one of the few Super Douluo in the Holy Spirit Cult.

It's important to understand that while evil soul masters may cultivate very quickly in the early stages, their cultivation speed will eventually fall behind that of ordinary soul masters, because they will have to commit far too many killings.

This is why the Holy Spirit Church chose to cooperate with the Sun and Moon Empire, because the Sun and Moon Empire was destined to wage war against other countries.

When war breaks out, the resentment from soldiers, innocent civilians, high-ranking officials, and others on the battlefield will give their Holy Spirit Cult an unprecedented boost.

Once the Sun and Moon Empire has completely unified the continent, their Holy Spirit Cult will be able to seize the imperial power of the Sun and Moon Empire through internal attacks.

At that time, the era of evil soul masters will completely descend upon the Douluo Continent!

If they could possess the legendary artifact left behind by the Holy Emperor, defeating the Sun and Moon Empire would not be a big problem at all.

As a collaborator of the Sun Moon Empire, Zhongli Wu was well aware that the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology was powerful enough to dominate the entire Douluo Continent.

If it weren't for the fact that their Holy Spirit Cult had two Limit Douluo-level figures as their trump card, Zhongli Wu would never have dared to join forces with the Sun Moon Empire to fight against the remaining three great empires.

According to Zhongli Wu's prediction, the Sun Moon Empire will likely declare war on other empires within five to ten years.

Of course, this mainly depends on when the current frail and ailing old emperor passes away, and whether Xu Tianran, as the crown prince, can succeed to the throne.

In Zhongli Wu's eyes, Xu Tianran was a very ambitious person, and at the same time, he was also a very shrewd person.

That's why the Holy Spirit Cult chose Xu Tianran as their first choice for cooperation, because if the Sun Moon Empire wanted to dominate Douluo Continent during Xu Tianran's lifetime, then the Holy Spirit Cult's help would be essential.

The only problem is that precisely because Xu Tianran is so cunning, the other party will inevitably be assassinated by their Holy Spirit Cult afterward.

After all, once the Sun Moon Empire successfully realizes its long-cherished wish, dominates the entire Douluo Continent, and renames it the Sun Moon Continent, the first thing they will do is to assassinate their allies, the evil soul masters.

The reason why the Sun Moon Empire did not unite with other countries to completely eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, a force that harms society, is because they need the Holy Spirit Cult's high-end combat power.

Although the Sun Moon Empire possesses excellent soul guidance technology, it lacks experts who can effectively utilize it.

The powerful figures from the three great empires would never help the Sun Moon Empire conquer their own countries. Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire could only temporarily rely on these evil soul masters who were rejected and hated throughout the continent.

Therefore, in order to avoid being completely annihilated by the Sun Moon Empire afterward, it is always good to prepare more contingency plans before the war begins.

By the time the war starts, it will be too late. By then, their Holy Spirit Cult will probably be busy collecting the vengeful spirits on the battlefield and won't have time to prepare any other backup plans.

However, these useless people in front of him not only failed to bring back the sacred object, but also lost a lot of personnel. Zhongli Wu was furious!

Especially after he learned from his spies in the Sun Moon Empire a few days ago that Shrek Academy and other empires had become aware of the existence of their Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu became even more insane.

Fortunately, his mother, Ye Xishui, who was also an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, remained calm and prevented her son from making the foolish decision to kill his surviving subordinates.

What the Holy Spirit Church needs to do now is to be patient for the time being, while also secretly gathering more people, and incidentally trying to find out the whereabouts of some sacred objects.

After being scolded by his mother, Zhongli Wu regained his composure. Therefore, after punishing these good-for-nothings, he instructed the elders to restrain the movement of people during this period.

Core personnel should stay home as much as possible, and the same applies to people in other branches.

The biggest task now is to gather more evil spirit masters and track down the whereabouts of the sacred artifact; other matters can be put aside for now.

After receiving orders from their leader, the elders began to contact other branches of their Holy Spirit Cult hidden in the four great empires to spread the word.

Upon receiving the news, the Holy Spirit Cult Minister of the Star Luo Empire branch muttered to himself, "You're recruiting, right? There seems to be a rather prominent evil soul master lately, known as the Messenger of Death, whose ability appears to be the rare Corpse Explosion. I think the Cult Leader would already be considering recruiting him, wouldn't he?"

"Although the cult leader said not to be too flamboyant recently, such people will not obey without being shown a warning, so I have no choice but to go there in person."

"Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen."
