Chapter 13: Persuading Di Tian
The azure sky was suddenly torn apart by countless streams of light, and thousands of soul-guided cannonballs swarmed towards the Sea God family's territory like a locust swarm.
The shriek pierced the sky and, even before it landed, unleashed a violent storm of soul power, with scorching waves of air sweeping across the entire coastline!
Five seconds later, flames shot into the sky, followed by deafening explosions. Rocks crumbled, buildings collapsed, and mushroom clouds rose into the air.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
Carpet bombing!
Screams, roars, and the howling of waves mingled together, and the once solemn family territory was instantly transformed into a fiery inferno.
"How...how could this be?!"
"Ah Jiu, what exactly happened?"
Leng Yaozhu quickly recovered from the shock before her eyes, her expression immediately becoming serious, and she transformed back into the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
"The Holy Spirit Cult!"
The three words came out of Su Jiu's mouth in a nonchalant manner. He was not too surprised, but rather puzzled by the situation before him. This lineup must have brought out the entire strength of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Moreover, according to the plot, the Demon Emperor is not suffering from mental problems, but is in seclusion to recuperate; the Underworld Emperor Halosa is far away on the Star Luo Continent, presiding over the Holy Spirit Cult branch there; and the Ghost Emperor is stationed at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters in the far north.
How did these rats suddenly gather together and organize this terrorist attack?
Soon, the cool sea breeze dispersed the smoke and dust raised by the shells, leaving behind a desolate ruin of the Sea God family. Through the magnification of the Flame Demon's Roar, Su Jiu silently mourned for the Sea God family for a few seconds.
The Sea God family has probably suffered a major heart attack; nearly 99.9% of its members have died!
Shifting the focus to the wedding hall, not too many people had died; at least none of the top-tier combatants who shouldn't have died had survived.
However, they all had some injuries on them, their aura was extremely weak, and their complexions were not good. Obviously, the bombardment by the high-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells was very uncomfortable.
Although there were nearly a hundred Title Douluos present, at Su Jiu's reminder, they immediately constructed a soul power barrier, thus avoiding large-scale deaths. It remains to be seen whether they can withstand the elite combat power of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Seeing the Demon Emperor laughing maniacally in front of the Holy Spirit Cult members, Su Jiu immediately understood the whole story.
The Sea God Family, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Demon Soul Great White Shark...
tsk tsk~
She's practically a reincarnation of Tang San, the Sea God. She wants to wipe out all of Tang San's lackeys in Douluo Continent. No wonder!
Using public office to settle personal scores!
Su Jiu had to admit that although the Demon Emperor was mostly crazy, she was really smart, at least smarter than his little silver dragon.
"Sister Yaozhu, the current situation is that the Holy Spirit Cult is carrying out a massacre against the Sea God family, and Sister Yulai is among them..."
Su Jiu briefly explained the situation to Leng Yaozhu, whose face visibly darkened and became extremely ugly.
Leng Yulai's joining the Holy Spirit Cult was already a shameful stain on the Leng family, but now she has even participated in the massacre of the Sea God family.
This was clearly a blatant trampling of the Leng family's dignity, repeatedly trampling on it, making her, as the elder sister and clan leader, feel utterly humiliated, ashamed, and furious.
"Rain, Rain Lai... Is that so! Ah Jiu, then let's take her back this time!"
"Alright, but before that, we must call Elder Yunming over, otherwise it will be too easy for him."
Su Jiu immediately had A Qi hack Yun Ming's soul communication. After the other party connected, A Qi didn't give him any chance to speak.
"Yun Ming, the Holy Spirit Cult has massacred the Sea God's family. Your wife, Ya Li, is about to be molested by the Ghost Emperor, the Dark Blood Demon, and the Dark Hummingbird..."
This electronic voice undoubtedly struck a nerve with Yun Ming, instantly igniting his anger. Before he could even offer a friendly greeting, A Qi decisively cut off the communication, leaving Yun Ming standing there, helplessly furious.
Yunming: Shit! Buggy Yalu!!!
With Chen Xinjie, Guan Yue, Qian Gu Dieyan, Qian Gu Dongfeng, Zang Xin, and Long Yeyue, all severely injured on the spot, the six ultimate beings present should be able to hold out until Yun Ming arrives, right?
Su Jiu was somewhat uncertain. The Holy Spirit Cult had three fully-powered, near-god-level beings and one near-demigod-level being. To be honest, it was a bit difficult.
As for those titled Douluo at the wedding?
These people were all severely injured, barely breathing and their souls were about to leave their bodies; most importantly, their healer, Holy Spirit Douluo, had even fallen into a coma, and the situation was truly dire.
"Damn it!"
"Sister Yaozhu, there's another piece of bad news!"
"Of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, aside from the Dark Blood Demon, the other three are heading to the Sea God Legion. I suspect they intend to seize the Sea God Fleet and bombard it once more!"
"What! The situation is really... Yu Lai, you..."
Leng Yaozhu frowned deeply, and a chilling aura spread from her body. This time, she was truly enraged.
No matter what, she was determined to personally capture Leng Yulai and discipline her severely.
Even if it means crippling her cultivation and turning her into an ordinary person, it's better than her becoming a universally despised and irredeemable evil spirit master.
Actually, there was another piece of bad news that Su Jiu didn't mention: the Beast God Di Tian had also arrived.
Su Jiu possesses the Void attribute, which is the absolute superior attribute of space. She is exceptionally sensitive to spatial fluctuations. She did not expect the Demon Emperor to be so resolute in this action, even enlisting Di Tian to join the fight.
Seeing the nine-colored dragon's might flowing from Di Tian's right hand, Su Jiu's lips twitched. The Dragon God's Claw had arrived too. Just what had the Demon Emperor given Di Tian...?
Ugh, these are truly troublesome times...
"Sister Yaozhu, you go to the Sea God Legion first. I'll assist you here. Remember to be careful. We're just going to help; there's no need for us to get hurt."
"Then I'll leave my sister's back to Ajiu."
Leng Yaozhu smiled, a smile that could launch a thousand ships. Su Jiu was the most worry-free person.
With the four-word battle armor activated, her aura instantly reached its peak, transforming into a blazing red phoenix that sped towards the Sea God Legion.
As for Su Jiu, she switched back to the Sharp Bee Hunting Technique, and Di Tian still needed to use A Jiu's suit to persuade him to stop.
Of course, persuading Di Tian to fight the Holy Spirit Cult? That's just wishful thinking.
"Di Tian, stop!"
"Ajiu" tore through space and entered the spatial node where Di Tian was hiding. An angry pixelated expression appeared on the screen and immediately began to berate him.
As a family member and strategist of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, Di Tian dared not do anything out of line to A Jiu, and immediately gathered the nine-colored energy on his dragon claw.
"A-Jiu? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be by the Lord's side?"
"What am I doing here? How dare you ask? Di Tian, while your action of helping Na'er eliminate humanity's top combat forces is commendable, have you considered what will happen to the Star Dou Great Forest if you reveal anything?"
"And what about the Holy Spirit Cult? You're cooperating with the Demon Emperor, right? She agreed to keep it a secret, but what about the others? What about the Underworld Emperor and the Ghost Emperor? Especially the Ghost Emperor, that man is cunning and treacherous. What if they use this to threaten you? Cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult is like asking a tiger for its skin; one wrong step and you're doomed!"
The honest Di Tian instantly realized that the Demon Emperor had used the blood debt between humans and soul beasts to temporarily suppress Di Tian's rationality with his emotions, thus arousing his anger. He hadn't considered things so far ahead.
"Ajiu, it was indeed my oversight. I'll go back now. What about the Master?"
"Na'er is doing well now. At this rate, she should be able to regain her memories in about three years. Let's wait a little longer."
What Di Tian feared most was an indefinite and uncertain outcome. With the precise timeframe given by A Jiu, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips before he disappeared from the spot.
