Chapter 92 Did you bring any money?
Since he had promised Zhong Liyuan, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word. It was impossible to turn the Holy Spirit Cult into a family of truth, goodness, and beauty in a short time, but it was entirely possible to curb their evil deeds.
This group of people is different from the resources of the Moonflower Palace. They are a force that is completely under their control. Perhaps besides acting as henchmen, they can also play some other roles.
A purple glint flashed in Kong Tianxu's eyes. Although his biggest worry had been dealt with, he still had three martial souls, and having multiple options was never a bad thing.
"In that case, I will await Elder Ye's arrival at the Moonflower Palace."
Kong Deming's expression remained somewhat strange, but he still waved his hand to remove the soul-guided blockade that had been set up around them like a net. The Holy Spirit Cult members then transformed into streaks of light and vanished into thin air.
Clearly, Ye Xishui's explanation did not completely dispel his doubts, but since Kong Tianxu and the Sun and Moon Team were all safe and sound, there was no need to start a war. The important thing was to consider how to end the situation.
Thinking of this, even Kong Deming couldn't help but rub his temples. This time, he had practically revealed all his cards, and Xu Guoyi's recently dispelled fear was bound to surge again.
However, although this move was a bit too big and exposed his unparalleled control over Mingdu, it would also make Xu Guoyi more submissive in the short term. Kong Deming narrowed his eyes slightly.
As for the future—perhaps there's even less to worry about. He thought of the aura he had sensed within Kong Tianxu's body before, and his heart stirred slightly.
"All Soul Master Corps, withdraw to your respective defense zones in an orderly manner. Return the experimental subjects to their original locations, and return only a portion of the fixed Soul Guidance Devices. Thank you all, Kong Deming."
He led Kong Tianxu back to the Soul Guidance Legion and addressed the titled Douluo.
"Master Confucius is too kind."
For a moment, many Soul Masters breathed a sigh of relief. In their view, it would be best if this battle could be avoided. Although they despised evil Soul Masters, rashly starting a war with them would be a waste of the empire's national strength, and avoiding it would be the best thing to do.
As for the other group, they were Kong Deming's loyal followers and naturally obeyed his orders.
In the blink of an eye, the Soul Master Corps, covering the entire mountainside, began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
"Master Kong." Jing Hongchen walked over, her face showing a mixture of displeasure and relief.
"What's the situation with the team members?" Kong Deming placed his hand on Kong Tianxu's shoulder, gently channeling his soul power into his body.
"Very bad."
Zhong Gongfeng also came over, his voice tinged with doubt:
"Currently, among the regular team members, only Ma Rulong is in relatively good condition. The injuries of the others are not too bad, but their souls are unstable, as if they have been forcibly pulled out and stuffed back into their bodies. Although they can recover on their own, they will definitely not be able to use their martial souls for a short period of time. The reserve team members also have similar symptoms."
Their souls were unstable? It seems they all died during the adventure, only to be forcibly rescued by Zhong Liyuan. The Qiankun Questioning of Love is indeed the most dangerous of the three treasure troves; even with my warning, the casualties were still so heavy. In the original story, Shrek Academy members all passed; I wonder how much Ning Rongrong went easy on them.
Kong Tianxu pondered to himself, his complexion gradually regaining its rosy hue under the nourishment of Kong Deming's silver moon soul power.
"Which players are still available to play?"
Kong Deming's expression didn't change much, and he didn't seem very worried.
Kong Tianxu glanced at Cain and Xu Tianzhen beside him and said:
"We're fine."
"There are still the four of us, but Lan Xiu suffered some mental damage and may need to rest for a day."
Ma Rulong walked over with a solemn expression, followed by Xiao Hongchen and his sister, as well as the noble youth named Lan Xiu. All of them bowed to Kong Deming.
When Meng Hongchen passed by Kong Tianxu, she stared at him for a long time with a flushed face. Every time Kong Tianxu looked back, she seemed to remember something extremely embarrassing and turned her face away.
What does this mean?
Kong Tianxu was puzzled by her stare. Wasn't it just that she had given him a taste of both ice and fire during their last sparring session? Why was she holding a grudge for so long?
There were exactly seven people.
Jing Hongchen's expression grew even more grim, and Elder Ma's face was also filled with worry. The once-luxurious lineup had suddenly been reduced to this state; no one could accept it.
But none of them noticed the intense confidence in everyone's eyes when they looked at Kong Tianxu.
"That's enough."
Kong Tianxu took a step forward.
"Seven people is fine, there's nothing we can't fight. One Soul Emperor, three Soul Kings, and three Soul Sect Masters, we can still win."
Three Soul Masters?
Only then did everyone notice that Cain and Xu Tianzhen, who were standing next to Kong Tianxu, had both reached the level of forty in cultivation.
Cain was alright, he was already level 39, but Princess Naïve was only level 35 before! She jumped five levels in one go?
Jing Hongchen and Zhong Gongfeng exchanged a glance. The two, who had been somewhat skeptical of Ye Xishui's explanation, were now more convinced.
"Alright, then the seven of you can go ahead first. We've been delayed for a bit, and the start date of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is getting closer. Star Luo City is a long way away, so I'll just fly you there directly."
"Mirror, try to find some backup reinforcements from the academy."
Kong Deming gave Jing Hongchen a command, and two thin beams of blue light suddenly unfolded behind him. He dared not let Kong Tianxu out of his sight again. A layer of milky white light descended from the sky, enveloping the seven members of the Sun and Moon Team.
The next moment, the eight people's bodies soared into the sky as if riding on clouds.
"Xu'er, can you tell me what's going on now? What's wrong with your soul power? And what about that blood energy in your body that even I can't dispel? And what about Ye Xi's strange behavior?"
"At an altitude of three thousand meters," Kong Deming asked anxiously.
Two enormous, pale blue wings, each ten meters wide, flapped gently, enveloping everyone in a hazy, cloud-like white light membrane. At the forefront, a barrier of soul power completely blocked out the voices of Kong Deming and Kong Tianxu. "Um, Grandpa, before answering these questions, may I ask if you brought any money?"
Kong Tianxu scanned his storage soul tool with his spiritual power over the gold soul card, which only had a few million in balance, and asked with a bitter face.
Originally, there was another opportunity to prepare his luggage after the sacrificial ceremony and before the official departure, so Kong Tianxu was in no hurry to bring the pocket money he had saved up over the years. However, he encountered the Qiankun Asking Love Valley incident, and the card that contained nearly two small goal gold soul coins was still lying in his room.
"What's wrong, Xu? Are you going to Xingluo City to buy something? You usually don't spend any money."
"I didn't bring much, just a little over two hundred million. I don't know if that's enough?" Kong Deming was greatly surprised.
"That's enough, absolutely enough." Kong Tianxu's eyes flickered.
Shopping was the main focus of his trip to the competition.
Spirit world.
"Broken mirror!"
Ning Rongrong channeled another burst of soul power into the mirror, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea—there was still no response. Annoyed and embarrassed, she kicked it, yelling, "Ah!"
The nine-colored goddess winced in pain, took off her jade-colored high heels, and rubbed her reddened toes. The Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror remained a blank white, without the slightest damage, only rippling with strange waves, as if mocking her powerlessness.
That damned Zhongli Yuan!
She clenched her teeth, but her mind was preoccupied with something else:
"The young people in Douluo Continent these days are just too freakishly talented. No wonder Third Brother told me to keep an eye on them. And the God of Destruction, he specifically sent the God of Life away from me. Did he really pass on the seed of divinity to that Kong Tianxu?"
With that thought in mind, she disregarded the still throbbing pain in her feet and flew towards a magnificent palace in the distance.
We need to tell Third Brother right away—
Holy Spirit Cult, Headquarters.
"Did you all understand?" Ye Xishui looked at the group of worshippers and elders who were dumbfounded in front of her.
"Mother!" Zhongliwu finally couldn't help but cry out.
"Hmm? I was just about to say that when discussing matters within the church, we use the title of 'holy authority'!" Ye Xishui looked at him coldly.
Zhongli Wu's imposing manner faltered, but he still spoke in a low, humble voice:
"Yes, Supreme Master. Negotiating with the Earth Dragon Sect and searching for things in the Sunset Forest are fine, but you are not allowed to actively capture people, otherwise everyone's cultivation—"
"You're not allowed to kill people, but can't you kill soul beasts?" Ye Xishui rebuked sharply.
Zhang Peng, who had been listening intently, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
