—------------------—
The noise of Tang Ya smashing the door and killing people quickly alarmed the disciples of the Iron Blood Sect. Dozens of them rushed out immediately, releasing their martial spirits and preparing for battle.
However, Tang Ya, who embarked on the path of devouring life, underwent a complete transformation. Countless dark purple vines as thick as an adult's arm rose from the ground and pierced through the bodies of the Iron Blood Sect disciples like ghost claws, followed by strangling and devouring them.
It seemed as if a bloody rain was falling in the Iron Blood Sect. Streams of blood energy containing abundant nutrients flowed along the blue silver grass that changed from blue to purple and then to black towards Tang Ya, the culprit of all this. It was like a trickle of water falling into a lake, making the breath of the lake even stronger.
Dark blue silver grass swirled around her body. It was the first time that Tang Ya killed someone, and she used the most brutal and thorough means. After the bloody massacre, she devoured everything on the dead bodies.
From the moment she used the Blue Silver Grass to kill two Iron Blood Sect disciples and devoured all of their vitality, she had completely become an outstanding evil soul master.
Directly absorbing the vitality of human soul masters and soul beasts for cultivation is much faster than absorbing the vitality of plants for cultivation. The ancestors of the Tang Sect have enough say in this.
In the eyes of the Holy Spirit Sect leader Zhongli Wu, Tang Ya's potential is no less than that of the young talents of the Holy Spirit Sect such as Gu Long, Yanfeng. She has a good hope of becoming the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit and inheriting the glory of the Holy Spirit.
Look at that brutal killing method, how charming; look at that powerful devouring ability, it is even more enviable.
The only thing that puzzled Zhongli Wu was how a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass could possess the devouring talent that even top-level plant-type martial souls did not have - he certainly didn't know that if one traced back ten thousand years ago based on the current standard of devouring vitality, the ancestor of the Tang Sect would have been the king among them.
After looking around, Zhongli Wu raised an interested smile:
"Tsk tsk, isn't that old man following me to teach the future saint girl Xuan Zi from Shrek? I haven't seen him for a while, and he turned out to be such a loser? Xuanming's Eternal Douluo is really ruthless."
"The aura of the Level 94 Titled Douluo following behind Xuan Zi is not weak. This leader remembers that he is the master of the Shrek Colosseum. His name is Gong Changlong. His martial spirit is the Blazing Fire Dragon among the True Dragons?"
Zhang Peng said respectfully: "Master, what you said is very true."
As if thinking of something, Zhang Peng quickly reminded him, "Master, when the Supreme Worshiper came back from Shrek last time, he asked the Supreme Master whether Xuanzi was a hidden man that our sect had planted in Shrek in the early years. The Supreme Master did not confirm it, but he did not deny it either."
Zhongli Wu turned his head suddenly, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "You mean, Uncle Long thinks this Xuan Zi might be a senior of our Holy Church, and mother didn't deny it?"
Zhang Peng said with a strange look on his face, "Old Long said in the worship hall that Xuan Zi is not much younger than him and the Supreme Master. He might have been a hidden man arranged by your father to join Shrek during the time of the former Master. But it has been a long time and the person involved has left, so it is difficult to verify."
"He also said that we must be cautious when we see him and not make the mistake of killing him. After all, he has killed so many Shrek geniuses over the years... we can't even compare to him combined."
"We have verified that he had an evil soul master who was not in the Holy Church organization blow up the Shrek Seven Devils in Mingdou Mountain Range and then ran away. If he was not an undercover, he would not be able to do this. "
Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu's face twitched, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xuan Zi suddenly changed from sarcasm and disdain to surprise and astonishment, and then a bit more respect.
As a Super Douluo at level 98, he knows how powerful he is in fighting. Not to mention a Soul King at level 50, even a Super Douluo at level 95 can be suppressed with one hand, and can be crushed and flattened with ease.
For the sake of the Holy Religion, you, Master Xuan, have suffered a lot.
Zhang Peng's voice was still ringing: "And judging from the current situation, I think this is too coincidental, right? We came to the Tianhun Empire for recuperation for only a few days, and he brought the evil soul master genius here to kill people. Not only did he not stop us, he also protected us in secret."
"If he hadn't been motionless, that Gong Changlong would have already made his move. Do you think Master Xuan was just waiting for us to come over..."
"Don't say any more. This leader understands it all! Master Xuan has been working undercover in Shrek for many years and has made great contributions. He also brought top talents to join the Holy Church when the Holy Church was weak. The heaven and earth can bear witness to his behavior and heart!"
Zhongli Wu's tone was firm and his expression became extremely serious. He ordered Zhang Peng and others:
"Listen, I will capture the long dragon bow in a moment. You go and respectfully invite our future saint and the supreme worshiper back. He may not recognize you, so you can just take him to see mother and Uncle Long. Our sect will never let such heroes down!"
As he spoke, Zhongli Wu's gaze towards Xuan Zi had turned into one filled with respect and admiration.
Having been undercover at Shrek for more than two hundred years, eliminating Shrek's elite geniuses day after day, leading the Xuanming Sect to a fatal battle with Shrek that forced Mu En to death and shattered Shrek's ten-thousand-year halo, Zhongli Wu felt that his achievements were enough to secure his position as the leader even though his cultivation was abolished and he still had to drag his broken body with the genius and the Titled Douluo to return to the embrace of the Holy Church.
Well, not only is his position as the leader not very stable, but Uncle Long is also not qualified for the position of the supreme priest. It is Elder Xuan who has dedicated his entire life to the Holy Religion.
I will definitely find a way to help you heal your old injuries after I return. With mother and Uncle Long's personal help, coupled with our sect's secret methods, even if I can't help you fully recover your cultivation, it will certainly help prolong your life.
"Yes! We will be ready to welcome the Supreme Priest and the Holy Maiden back to their places!" Zhang Peng and others bowed in response, their eyes full of fanatical and respectful expressions.
Although these evil soul masters are just rats crossing the street, they have always been united internally and must respect seniors like Master Xuan who have made great contributions to the Holy Church.
Just as the Holy Spirit Church was planning their actions, the battle in the Iron Blood Sect was drawing to a close.
After Tang Ya turned evil, her strength increased several times. The dark blue silver grass danced like a group of pythons, breaking through the ground and attacking the bodies of the Iron Blood Sect disciples one by one.
Her cultivation level soared at an unprecedented speed, and the vitality she devoured gave her the endurance to continue fighting. In an instant, she killed most of the more than 200 disciples of the Iron Blood Sect.
She was killing frantically, and blood mist was flying in the Iron Blood Sect. The pleasure of revenge and the intoxication of killing made her mind increasingly unclear. The only thing left in her mind was the obsession with revenge. She was no longer worried about the consequences of doing so, nor was she worried about the mutation of the Blue Silver Grass. Instead, she opened her arms and embraced this mutation.
Powerful enemies are at their doorstep, the young master of the Iron Blood Sect, Four-Ring Soul Sect Tie Tang, and the leader of the Six-Ring Soul Emperor Tie Li appear one after another. At the beginning, they bribed the city defense army and looked for an opportunity to destroy all the people in the Tang Sect except Tang Ya. They never expected that the trouble left behind by a momentary thought would come back and become their deadly death today.
"What on earth is this thing? Why is it so strong?"
As soon as Tie Tang appeared, a vast swarm of blue silver grass rushed over. He tried to use his soul skills, but his attack was like a drop in the ocean and did not cause any ripples.
The difference between an ordinary soul master and an evil soul master left him with no power to resist. His body was quickly covered by the alienated blue silver grass and exploded instantly. Even the soul emperor Tieli was too late to rescue him. New vitality poured into Tang Ya's body. This supplement directly increased her soul power by more than one level, which was strange and powerful.
"You little bastard, you're looking for death!"
The bloody tragedy completely enraged Tieli, he rushed out with two elders roaring, his soul power was stimulated to the limit, the brute force brought by the Iron Arm Bear Martial Spirit tore through pieces of blue silver grass and broke through the shackles of the blue silver thorn formation.
However, after turning evil, Tang Ya had gone completely insane. Although her life-for-life fighting style was broken by Tieli, she still killed the last two elders of the Tiexue Sect. Even if Tieli was still alive, there would be only a few of his disciples left.
The anger of having his entire life's work go to waste made Tieli start to attack at all costs. Relying on his strong physique to block Tang Ya's last hidden weapon attack, he approached Tang Ya with a grin and punched her hard.
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
Tang Ya closed her eyes in despair and powerlessness, with a sad smile on her face:
"I'm sorry, Beibei. I didn't wait for you to come find me and ended up like this. And mom and dad, your Xiaoya is here to find you..."
To Tang Ya's surprise, Tieli's fist did not fall.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xuan Zi, covered in grease, standing in front of her. He held Tie Li with his cracked hands, his face flushed red.
"You'll never succeed!"
"You old beast, you are looking for death too!"
Tieli was furious and lit up his sixth soul ring, ready to send the two bastards, one old and one young, to their deaths.
However, before his soul ring could fully bloom, an angry roar was heard in the air.
"How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful to our sect's Supreme Worshipper!"
Zhang Peng led the team to rush down, controlled the strength and slapped Tieli away. Several evil soul masters with the cultivation level of Titled Douluo came up one by one and slapped him, then threw the half-dead Tieli towards Xuan Zi and Tang Ya, their faces showing respect and flattery.
"Master Xuan, I'll leave this bastard to you and the child. Just take care of it."
Xuan Zi was confused and asked in astonishment, "Who are you? When did I have any dealings with you?"
Zhang Peng laughed, pointed at himself and introduced himself: "I am Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng. Back then, I sucked some soul beast blood and was hunted by Shrek. The Holy Dragon of Light, Mu En, who was so arrogant. I didn't kill anyone, but he beat me up. In the end, he didn't even apologize and arrogantly said he would spare my life."
"He already said that I was an evil spirit master, so how could I let him down? So I simply threw myself into the arms of the Holy Church. Today I learned that there is a master like you in the Holy Church, so I came here with the leader to pay a visit to you and guide you back to the Church."
As he spoke, he pointed to a Titled Douluo next to him and introduced him, "Hey, this is Crow Douluo Wuyun. Just because his martial soul is of the dark attribute, he is misunderstood and hunted down as an evil soul master."
"In a rage, he killed all the pursuers and defected to our Holy Church. He also came with me to pay a visit to you, old man."
"I am Wuyun, the junior, and I am honored to meet the Supreme Priest Taotie." Wuyun Douluo meticulously performed the etiquette of a junior to Xuanzi, smiling and revealing his white teeth.
"You, you are evil soul masters?" Xuan Zi seemed to have just realized the other party's identity. He tensed his body and took a fighting stance, saying vigilantly: "Don't talk nonsense, you guys. I am a real Shrek man. When have I ever had any dealings with you? Leave quickly, or don't blame me for fighting you!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air from the air behind them, along with Zhongli Wu's hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha, Old Master Xuan, don't worry about ears. This Shrek Titled Douluo has been taken down by our juniors. You can go back with us openly now."
Xuan Zi turned his head suddenly and saw Zhongli Wu holding the seriously injured and bleeding Gong Changlong on the ground with one hand. He threw Gong Changlong to Zhang Peng and bowed, lowering his head and said solemnly:
"The current leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhongli Wu, has led his people to welcome our sect's Taotie Supreme Worshipper! You have been undercover for more than two hundred years, thank you for your hard work."
Xuan Zi was stunned, Tang Ya was unconscious, but Gong Changlong, who was seriously injured by Zhongli Wu but still conscious, suddenly had an idea in his mind. He pointed at Xuan Zi in agony and cursed loudly, with a hatred that could not be washed away even if he poured all his energy into the three rivers and five seas.
"Xuan Zi, you beast, turned out to be the evil spirit master's undercover agent in Shrek! I will fight you to the death, and I will not let you go even if I become a ghost…"
Pah! Zhang Peng slapped Gong Changlong unconscious with a slap. Zhongli Wu nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Xuanzi, saying, "This person is only one step away from becoming a Super Douluo. After he goes back and hone his skills, he will become a Super Douluo. By then, I will let this guy who offended you serve you tea and water every day."
"you..."
Before Xuan Zi could say more, Zhongli Wu waved his hand and dispersed a mist, which enveloped Xuan Zi and Tang Ya. The two of them immediately closed their eyes and fainted.
"Let's go, take our Holy Spirit Church's Taotie Supreme, Blue Silver Saint, and the future Fire Dragon Priest, and set out to fight the spirits!"
The group of evil soul masters fled quickly, and Zhongli Wu's devilish and crazy laughter could be heard from time to time in the void.
"Hahahaha, Elder Xuan is truly our Holy Spirit Church's greatest hero. He led his people to surrender after knowing that we lost three Super Douluo in Xingluo City. Now, all the losses of our Holy Spirit Church have been made up, hahahaha..."
