The evil soul masters were a crucial part of Tang San's grand plan spanning ten thousand years.
Executed by the Demon Empress, the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, they were driven mad by hatred, luring the abyss to descend.
"Tang San, once I finish dealing with my affairs, it will be your turn to experience life!" Huo Yuhao smirked, a glint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Finding amusement truly had to start with Tang San!
Tang San was a man full of entertainment!
Seeing this, the crowd looked at Huo Yuhao with confusion.
The leader was speaking, but why did he suddenly laugh?
"Leader, why are you laughing?" Hearing this, Huo Yuhao snapped back to reality, his eyes twitching slightly.
"The thought of completely eliminating the threat of evil soul masters makes me laugh." As for why the laughter sounded so "evil," only Huo Yuhao knew.
Without giving the crowd time to think, Huo Yuhao continued, "Everyone, once the evil soul masters enter, surround them and exterminate them!"
"We cannot allow them to continue wreaking havoc on the Douluo Continent. For the people, for humanity, for all living beings, even for the soul beasts, it is our duty to eradicate the evil soul masters!"
"Yes, Leader!" The crowd quickly agreed. They harbored no goodwill towards the evil soul masters. If they could eliminate them all, it would bring peace.
On the side of the Holy Spirit Sect, everyone frowned, sensing an ominous feeling they couldn't quite place.
They operate in extreme secrecy, and only those at the peak of the Soul Master realm can detect them.
"Keep a low profile before we break through. The Douluo Federation has strong warriors too," Ye Xishui touched around and said to the crowd.
She had originally planned to gather the evil soul masters in the Bright Douluo Mountains, using the soldiers' life force and souls to break through.
However, Xu Tianran strongly urged the Holy Spirit Sect to come to the border of the former Heavenly Soul Empire and Sun Moon Empire.
Although Ye Xishui was very dissatisfied, she had no choice.
The Holy Spirit Sect and Xu Tianran were in a cooperative relationship. They needed Xu Tianran to provide some special items. If they offended him rashly, the cooperative relationship would shatter instantly.
"Once I break through to the divine level, that kid will know the consequences of dealing with the God of Death!" Ye Xishui sneezed, then summoned the Tower of Death, a nine-and-a-half-level soul tool. If it could absorb a massive amount of souls and life force, it might evolve into a ten-level soul tool!
Ten-level soul tools were equivalent to divine artifacts!
Long Xiaoyao looked at the slightly crazy woman beside him and sobbed.
Because of his debt, he was willing to protect this woman for a lifetime. It was what he owed Ye Xishui and Mu En.
"These people were not killed by Xishui. Absorbing their life force and souls is just making use of waste. Yes, it must be so." Long Xiaoyao comforted himself in his heart. If he didn't think this way, what else could he do?
After all, Ye Xishui's strength was so formidable that even he and Mu En combined were no match for her!
One was the Holy Light Dragon, the other was the Dark Holy Dragon, both with super martial souls, yet they still couldn't match Ye Xishui.
It was clear how terrifying Ye Xishui was!
Suddenly, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao frowned, feeling at a loss.
The Tower of Death had just been summoned and hadn't absorbed many souls or life force yet, but it was already detected by the powerful warriors of the Douluo Federation?
Yes, by the time the two of them realized it, the gathering place of the evil soul masters was already surrounded.
"Xishui, something's wrong! It seems we've been deceived by Xu Tianran!" At this moment, Long Xiaoyao felt he had been tricked.
The Douluo Federation clearly had a premeditated ambush. How else could they have discovered them so quickly?
There was only one truth: Xu Tianran had kidnapped them!
Ye Xishui changed around, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
Long Xiaoyao's words echo her own thoughts.
If it wasn't for Xu Tianran's betrayal, the powerful warriors of the Douluo Federation wouldn't have discovered them so early, let alone planning to "catch them all in one net."
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Sect also felt something was wrong. Their hearts trembled.
After all, the strongest forces of the former three Douluo nations were almost all in the Douluo Federation, yet now they were surrounded by them.
As for the lower-level disciples, they hadn't noticed anything unusual yet, merely absorbing the blood energy brought by the battlefield.
Such a battle didn't need to last long for them to break through again and become high-level combatants.
"Find the weaker spots and break through. We'll settle the score with that kid once we're safe!"
"Betraying allies, that kid is seeking death!" Even experts like Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but frown in the face of so many powerful warriors.
If they couldn't break through, they might fall today!
Over fifty Titled Douluo and hundreds of Soul Douluo-level experts surround them. Even a peak Douluo will fall.
This was why Ye Xishui didn't hesitate to say to break through rather than fight to the death.
With their information stolen, the enemy must know everything about the Holy Spirit Sect. Staying would only increase casualties.
"Members of the Holy Spirit Sect, follow me and break through!" Ye Xishui shouted angrily to the crowd.
The evil soul masters gathered here numbered around five to six hundred, all core members of the Holy Spirit Sect.
As for the lower-level evil soul masters, the Holy Spirit Sect didn't bother to include them.
Hearing this, the evil soul masters finally realized what was happening, looking around in confusion.
What was going on?
They hadn't even started, and it was already over?
Suddenly, a massive figure descended from the sky, causing a deafening roar as if the earth itself had turned.
When the dust settled, everyone could see who had arrived.
It was a white-furred Ice Bear King, its height comparable to a twenty to thirty-story building.
"Break through?" On the Ice Bear King's head, there was a figure that seemed tiny in comparison, of course, when compared to the Ice Bear King.
The arrivals were Huo Yuhao and the undead Bai Nian. Huo Yuhao stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of disdain on his face.
"Everyone, stop dreaming. How could we let you break through after inviting you into our trap?" Hearing this, the evil soul masters exchange glances. Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao confirmed their suspicion that Xu Tianran had indeed kidnapped them.
"Kid, you dare scheme against the Holy Sect!" Ye Xishui's son, the current leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhongli Wu, pointed at Huo Yuhao, his words filled with killing intent.
Around him, it was pitch black, a fusion of blood energy and evil soul power.
"Yes, I schemed against you. What are you going to do about it?" Huo Yuhao looked down, his eyes still filled with disdain, as if the Holy Spirit Sect was nothing to him.
