Chapter 653 Unexpected Developments at the Front! The Final Storm Before the Decisive Battle!
"My help?"
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly.
"That's right, that's right..."
As she spoke, Yali's fair neck turned slightly pink, and even her blue eyes held a hint of something indescribable.
"Tap tap tap!"
Just then, crisp footsteps suddenly sounded outside the room.
Ya Li's expression changed instantly, and she quickly shook her head, looking into Jiang Xiu's eyes and saying:
"Come to the moonlit night tomorrow, and I will tell you in person that you must come."
A thoughtful expression appeared in Jiang Xiu's eyes, and then he nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Yali's slightly tense expression gradually eased, but at the same time, her resolve became even stronger.
"This time, no matter the outcome, I must say it myself."
After Yali finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Jiang Xiu, I've brewed some tea."
After obtaining Jiang Xiu's consent, A Yin pushed open the door and approached carrying a pot of steaming tea.
Upon seeing that it was Ah Yin, Ya Li's pretty face showed a hint of displeasure.
She was almost able to reveal her feelings this time, but Jiang Xiu agreed to meet her under the moon tomorrow, which can be considered her initial success.
Ah Yin, as if she hadn't noticed Ya Li's displeasure, even made her a cup of hot tea.
"Since Ms. Yali is here, then A-Yin, why don't you prepare a room for her?"
After chatting for a while, upon learning that Ya Li would not be returning to the front lines soon, Jiang Xiu gave instructions to A Yin.
"Okay." Ah Yin agreed, then got up and led Ya Li out of the house.
Watching Ya Li's departing figure, a strange light flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, and then he continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
He had already agreed to Ya Li's request; even if tomorrow was a tiger's den, he would still go and see it.
As they walked, Ah Yin glanced sideways at Ya Li behind her and asked pointedly:
"Ya Li, right? What's your relationship with Jiang Xiu?"
"We're just teacher and student."
Yali said calmly, then, as if remembering something, added:
"We are now completely innocent and have a clear conscience."
Anyway, she only said it for now, and didn't say what would happen in the future...
"is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin's azure eyes flickered slightly, and she murmured softly.
However, a strange look flickered across her pretty face, as if she sensed a crisis...
……
The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult in the far north.
On a chilling, hundred-meter-high altar made of bones, the Demon Emperor's figure was hidden beneath a black robe, his scarlet eyes fixed on the Ghost Emperor before him.
"Reporting to the Demon Emperor, the Blood River God-Slaying Array will be fully completed in another half month. If we want to set up the Blood River God-Slaying Array on the other side of the Abyss Passage, we need to go to the front line of the Abyss now to make preparations in advance."
The Ghost Emperor spoke respectfully.
"Is there only half a month left...?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's scarlet eyes revealed a morbid longing mixed with boundless excitement.
Upon hearing the latter part of the Ghost Emperor's words, the Demon Emperor pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:
"Then let's do it."
She knew very well that in order to set up the Blood River God-Slaying Array in the abyss passage without anyone noticing, she had to make preparations in advance.
After all, most of the combat power in the Douluo Continent is currently concentrated on the front line of the Abyss. If we don't plan our actions in advance, we are very likely to fail at the last minute.
"Yes, sir! I will arrange it properly."
The Ghost Emperor bowed his head in response, his dark green eyes gleaming. He had finally waited for this day.
Once the Blood River God-Slaying Array is placed in the abyss passage, his mission will be complete!
Perhaps he can also break through to godhood like the Underworld Emperor.
Looking back now, it was too troublesome for him to first help the Demon Emperor become a god and then have the Demon Emperor lead him to become a god. It was far less efficient than becoming a god by following his master.
"Ghost Emperor, you've done a very good job lately."
Just then, as the Ghost Emperor was leaving, the Demon Emperor suddenly spoke behind him.
The Ghost Emperor's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly turned around to ask, "What are you referring to, Your Majesty?"
He is about to complete the task assigned to him by the Lord, so he must not make any mistakes!
The Demon Emperor looked down at the Ghost Emperor and spoke with a pointed tone:
"Based on my secret observations during this period, our Holy Spirit Sect is united as one, all working hard to build the Blood River God-Slaying Array. Not a single person has harbored any rebellious thoughts; everyone is utterly loyal. I suppose this is all thanks to you."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's tense expression instantly relaxed.
He hadn't expected this.
Immediately, the Ghost Emperor cupped his hands and said:
"This is not my achievement; it is all thanks to Your Majesty's excellent leadership. I simply brought everyone's hearts together."
At the same time, the Ghost Emperor thought to himself.
Now, the followers and elders of the Holy Spirit Church have been led by him onto the path of enlightenment and evolution, and naturally they are all loyal and united.
But who they're loyal to is another matter...
"Okay, go ahead."
The Demon Emperor said with satisfaction in his eyes:
"Once the Blood River God-Slaying Array is completed, and once I become a god, I will definitely help you become a god as well."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor bowed once again.
He suddenly realized something during this period.
So, after the Demon Emperor becomes a god, will he really help him become a god?
After all, if he were the one who became a god first, he certainly wouldn't want others to become gods later.
After all, the fewer people who become gods, the more stable his position will be, and he can do whatever he wants without having to worry too much.
So at that moment, another thought came to his mind: after he became a god, he would not only not help others become gods, but he would even have the idea of cutting off the path for future generations to become gods...
"As for the Underworld Emperor, he has been in seclusion in secret and has not made much contribution to the Holy Church. When the time comes, I will definitely give you priority in becoming a god."
Finally, the Demon Emperor spoke again.
"Thank you, Demon Emperor."
The Ghost Emperor thanked him again, but he didn't really care.
After all, the Underworld Emperor had already become a god, so why would he need the Demon Emperor to guide him?
But suddenly, the Ghost Emperor remembered something: the Demon Emperor's daughter seemed to have been looking for him, as if she had something important to discuss...
Soon, with the departure of the Ghost Emperor, the entire altar fell silent once again, with only the Demon Emperor's eyes filled with madness and longing.
"My husband, I will be able to revive you soon, very soon..."
At the same time, a purplish-black light was crushed by the Demon Emperor and merged into the space.
……
The Abyss Plane, Core Area.
"Buzz!"
As a ripple spread through the space, the Abyss Saint King on the throne slowly opened his scarlet eyes and grabbed the black light.
Sensing the information contained within, the Abyss Saint King's lips curled into a greedy smile as he slowly rose from his throne.
"This day has finally come..."
"I've waited far too long!"
