Chapter 139 Holy Spirit Church Action
And just when the Body Sect was carrying out reforms in full swing within the Tianhun Empire.
At this time in the Sun-Moon Empire, the undercurrent that had always been brewing finally showed some signs of being restless.
With the gradual development of cooperation with the Star Forest.
Whether it is the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church who are mainly responsible for opening up the links, or the noble soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire who are responsible for supervision, they can all be said to have made a fortune.
After all, as the largest gathering place for soul beasts on Douluo Continent, the resources accumulated by the Star Dou Great Forest over thousands of years cannot be described in numbers.
After the resistance created by the soul beasts was reduced, the benefits gained by the Sun-Moon Empire were immediate.
However, although the resources they have developed from the Star Dou Great Forest are just the tip of the iceberg of the huge gold mountain of the Star Dou Great Forest.
But Di Tian was not a fool who could be easily fooled. After paying a certain price in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The real strategic goals they wanted to achieve by joining forces with the Sun-Moon Empire and even the Holy Spirit Church also began to be gradually revealed.
Recalling the threat posed by Di Tian a few days ago, Zhongli Wu's expression was still extremely cold even though he had returned to his base camp.
Just three days ago, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest rioted. A small-scale beast tide caused heavy losses to the soul masters who were conducting soul hunting operations in the Star Dou Great Forest at that time.
The Shrek Academy, which was located not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, was naturally alarmed as well. Although it sent several Titled Douluo elders to investigate, they found nothing.
This small-scale beast tide only lasted for one day before it stopped.
Therefore, after the people from Shrek Academy investigated and found no other hidden dangers, they did not dare to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and touch the ferocious beast, as their nerves were now suspected to be a little sensitive.
Only Zhongli Wu knew that the previous beast tide was a warning from Di Tian because of their inaction in recent days.
Three days ago, in the outskirts of the core area of the Star Forest, there was a hidden swamp.
This place is also where the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church are stationed after entering the Star Dou Great Forest these days.
Soul beasts in the swamp are difficult to find, and human soul masters are often not good at fighting in such environments.
Therefore, there is no need to take risks for some not-so-special soul beasts living in the swamp. In addition, this place is located outside the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, so it is a rarely visited place.
Under Emperor Tian's suggestion, the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sun-Moon Empire formed a certain alliance, and this was the area that Emperor Tian allocated to the Holy Spirit Church for temporary residence.
However, at this time, Emperor Tian, who seldom appeared in public, came with three ferocious beasts, and these visitors were also unusual.
They are the Bear King, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Hell Demon Dragon King. Let's leave the Hell Demon Dragon King aside for now, although he has the blood of a true dragon, it is not pure blood. So although he is also a ferocious beast, his combat power cannot be said to be that terrifying.
However, the Bear King and the Ten Thousand Demon King are both well-known for their powerful strength inside the Star Dou Great Forest, whether it is the Bear King's Sky-Tearing Claw or the large number of plant-type soul beasts controlled by the Ten Thousand Demon King.
It has an extremely strong deterrent effect on the evil soul masters headed by Zhongli Wu, not to mention the even more outstanding and powerful Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.
"What does Lord Beast God mean?" Looking at the four ferocious beasts with such fierce momentum, Zhongli Wu's face turned a little ugly.
To show his sincerity, Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, even personally led a team to the Star Dou Great Forest to set up a base.
Of course, the main purpose is to be able to reap the greatest benefits from the development of the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible.
However, things went against one's wishes. Now Zhongli Wu thought that their cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest had just begun, and he even wanted to convince the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Holy Spirit Church's investments and exchanges actually required a lot of effort and financial resources to manage the Sun-Moon Empire from top to bottom.
Compared with the profits obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest now, it is even more than that, which can be said to be a losing business.
Although some potential gains that cannot be directly calculated in terms of benefits were obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest.
But now, just when he saw the potential to make a lot of money, Di Tian came to him.
And it seems that the person who came has bad intentions. How could Zhongli Wu not feel aggrieved?
"Oh? What do you mean? I want to ask you what the Holy Spirit Church means."
Di Tian snorted coldly and asked, "Do you still remember what the agreement between me and the Evil Emperor was?"
"My Xingdou Great Forest uses its idle resources as a price in exchange for you taking action against Shrek City. However, have you made any moves in the past few days?"
Speaking of this, the Bear King behind Di Tian began to gear up for battle, a dark golden light faintly burst out, and his ferocious eyes made all the evil soul masters terrified.
At the same time, in the surrounding swamps, some imperceptible vines and tree roots began to grow and cover the area. Although they were not noticeable, they were chilling when they were suddenly noticed.
Although the Hell Demon Dragon King did nothing, the dark and cold soul power he emanated from it made even the evil soul masters, who were already known for their brutality, feel fear.
The four great ferocious beasts were present, including Emperor Tian, who was ranked first among the ten great ferocious beasts. If they failed to handle the situation properly, this place would probably become their burial place.
The evil soul masters are crazy but not stupid, and the evil soul masters who were brought here by Zhongli Wu are all the ones with clearer minds in the Holy Spirit Church.
Naturally, he didn't dare to take any other actions at this time to provoke the power of the four ferocious beasts in front of him.
Zhongli Wu could only smile awkwardly in response: "Master Beast God, you don't know that the Sun-Moon Empire is far away from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"My Holy Spirit Church opened up the joints along the way and avoided the pursuit of the supervisory groups originally from the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy. It took a lot of time to transport a large amount of resources and soul guides here."
"That's why I was unable to fulfill my promise to you in time, but please rest assured that everything is going as planned."
As a level 97 Super Douluo and the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, Zhongli Wu naturally seldom bows to others. However, the situation is stronger than him at this time, and he can only act like an inferior.
"Please give us some more time, Lord Beast God. I believe that our Sun Moon Empire and Holy Spirit Church will be able to give you a satisfactory result."
Di Tian snorted coldly and said, "Time, how much time do you want? One year? Or two years?"
Hearing that Di Tian seemed to be giving in, Zhongli Wu said quickly, "One year, it only takes one year, I will teach you."
Before Zhongli Wu could finish his words, a terrifying dark aura surged and engulfed everyone present in an instant. This horrifying darkness made all the Holy Spirit Church members present feel suffocated.
At the same time, because of the aftermath of the leak, many soul beasts with low cultivation were frightened, which triggered a small-scale beast tide. Zhongli Wu now saw darkness everywhere, and both his mental power and soul power lost their perception ability after leaving his body.
It was completely silent. In this endless darkness, no sound could be heard. Even Zhongli Wu's own heartbeat and breathing, which were not loud to begin with, disappeared.
At this time, Zhongli Wu was both shocked and angry. He didn't understand why Di Tian chose to take action without even saying a word.
But he didn't know that a strong man didn't need a reason to take action. Moreover, for Di Tian, the cooperation with this group of evil soul masters was originally to avoid attracting the attention of the God Realm, and he adopted the strategy of killing with a borrowed knife.
Zhongli Wu could no longer sense the other evil soul masters who had been beside him before, but before he could make a life-threatening move, he heard Di Tian's cold voice ringing in his ears.
"Not a year, not half a year."
"I want to see results immediately. You and your group of scum, get out of the Star Dou Great Forest, and don't get in my way until we reach the minimum agreed upon."
"Otherwise, hmm."
Di Tian snorted coldly again, and the power of darkness dissipated. Except for Zhongli Wu, all other evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church collapsed on the ground.
Their faces were pale and blood was vomiting from the corners of their mouths. It was obvious that Di Tian's attack just now had taught them a big lesson.
What can also be observed is that the injuries of the evil soul masters present vary, some are serious and some are minor, and many even fainted.
As the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, how could Zhongli Wu not know the moral character of these evil soul masters under his command.
Although the initial agreement made with the Star Dou Great Forest was that except for the resources that the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest did not need, the Star Dou Great Forest would not be harmed in the slightest.
However, there are always some evil soul masters who cannot control their own hands and feet or are greedy and set their targets on the soul beasts living in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, compared to the corpses of those who have been dead for who knows how long and have been emitting resentment for decades, the resources produced by fresh soul beasts are definitely more to the appetite of evil soul masters.
Even though they were constrained by the alliance, this group of evil soul masters did not dare to start a large-scale war, but they still acted secretly to a greater or lesser extent, and were stained with the blood of a lot of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing this situation, Zhongli Wu naturally knew that their every move after coming to the Star Dou Great Forest was probably under the surveillance of Di Tian.
Therefore, seeing his men all lying on the ground with serious injuries, Zhongli Wu still did not dare to act rashly, but said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Beast God, for showing mercy."
"My Holy Spirit Church will certainly not let Lord Beast God down. Please rest assured, Lord Beast God. This is just Shrek City. Please wait for good news."
Barely suppressing the uncontrollable viciousness in his eyes, Zhongli Wu lowered his head and made a promise to Di Tian.
Without the swearing of his martial soul and the witness of heaven and earth, Di Tian was too disdainful to get involved in this kind of thing with this group of evil soul masters.
After all, to be honest, after a brief transaction between the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sun Moon Empire, the one that has made more profit for the time being is the Star Dou Great Forest.
Therefore, this is why Di Tian came to inform Zhongli Wu at this moment. First of all, he really couldn't tolerate that group of people from Shrek Academy.
Secondly, he also knew that this group of evil soul masters were not good people. If he did not take action to make them restrain themselves, the harm they would cause to the Star Dou Great Forest would be beyond imagination. It would be better to let them fight with Shrek Academy.
Because of this, they were not even able to bring out the precious soul guides needed for resource mining, stationing, and exploration.
Zhongli Wu led a group of evil soul masters who were beaten half to death and escaped from the Star Dou Great Forest in a very embarrassing manner.
Using the secret route opened up by the Holy Spirit Church in recent days, they circled all the way back to the Demonic Forest, which was the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church.
"Hahaha, did Di Tian really say that? Does he look down on me so much?"
In front of Zhongli Wu, the gloomy man transformed by the Evil Eye Tyrant laughed loudly, and then looked at Zhongli Wu with a teasing look.
After returning to the Demonic Forest, the Evil Emperor, as the ruler of the Demonic Forest, was naturally the first person to be found by Zhongli Wu.
After all, the alliance previously concluded with Emperor Tian was initiated by this person, and now Emperor Tian has obviously turned his back on him.
For now, the Holy Spirit Church would have to make up for some of the losses.
If they really take action against Shrek Academy, then it will inevitably expose more of the hidden strength of the Holy Spirit Church itself, which will be greatly disadvantageous to their future plans.
So Zhongli Wu told the Evil Emperor what Emperor Tian said in the Star Dou Great Forest, adding some exaggeration to it.
"Master Xiedi, Di Tian is slapping you in the face."
"You are also aware of the credibility of our Holy Spirit Church. We naturally dare not neglect to help a strong man of your level. Of course, we must plan carefully before taking action."
Hearing this, the evil emperor's original smile faded, and he said coldly: "Isn't it just a small Shrek City? Just destroy a city, are you going to trouble me for such a small matter?"
Then the Evil Emperor smiled evilly again: "Or do you want to see me and that guy Di Tian fight so that you, the Holy Spirit Church, can reap the benefits?"
"How dare I, how dare I." Zhongli Wu's old face twitched and he said quickly.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking, so don't try to beat around the bush with me."
"Shrek, the number one academy in the continent, is indeed not someone you can easily mess with. But being a troublemaker and making trouble everywhere is something your Holy Spirit Church is good at, isn't it?"
The Evil Emperor threw a twisted and evil tentacle on the table. Looking closely, one could see that the tentacle was densely covered with eyes, which looked very creepy.
"Just think of it as a small investment from me to support your Holy Spirit Church. Please don't let me and the Beast God down, hahahaha."
As he spoke, the Evil Emperor stood up and patted Zhongli Wu on the shoulder.
Feeling the cold touch on his shoulder, Zhongli Wu's expression changed slightly, but he still sent the Evil Emperor out.
After collecting the tentacle that contained a part of the Evil Emperor's power, Zhongli Wu's old face turned back into a deep and cold look.
"In this case, it is time for our Holy Spirit Church to take some action."
"With the help of the Evil Emperor and the secret pressure from Emperor Tian, Shrek Academy, hum, it's time for the Fire Phoenix Saint to return to my Holy Spirit Church."
