The battle ended quickly.
Deep within the royal family, two powerful presences confronted each other, seemingly aware of the cessation of the battle, their energies gradually subsiding.
Mingde Hall's actions were swift, and the moment the battle erupted, many Guard Team members under Mirror Hongchen's leadership rushed to the scene.
"Captured two alive as well!"
Mirror Hongchen watched as Mingde Hall's personnel took away two Evil Soul Masters with their Soul Power sealed, filled with emotion.
"What do you plan to do with these two?"
Both were Evil Soul Masters, and having cultivated to the levels of Titled Douluo and even Super Douluo, the sins on them were certainly numerous.
Just during tonight's battle, the spirits consumed and burnt in the secret techniques unleashed by the two were crimes beyond measure.
Not to mention their Soul Rings.
Even Nangong Wan was not the best Soul Ring match, but had a composition exceeding limits with one yellow, three purple, and five black rings.
As for Feng Ling, there's no need to say; her three purple, five black, and one red rings certainly came from killing countless innocents and consuming souls to elevate the age of her Soul Rings.
Mirror Hongchen could guess that with Su Yu's character, he surely wouldn't let the two live, but seeing them captured alive on-site, he was curious about Su Yu's thoughts.
Did the two have some special value?
"That Nangong Wan, greedy and fearful of death, can be interrogated for plenty of secrets about the Holy Spirit Sect. He controlled the Xishui Alliance, which, although only a branch of the Holy Spirit Sect, was the largest underground force in Mingdu, even suppressing the biggest three black markets. Most of the Holy Spirit Sect's operations had the Xishui Alliance's cooperation."
Nangong Wan was meant for intelligence interrogation.
As for Feng Ling?
She was partly used to restrain Zhongli Wu, and Su Yu sought to inquire about other matters from her.
The movements and arrangements of the Holy Spirit Sect, though Feng Ling might be tight-lipped and evasive in interrogation, if it pertained to someone within the Holy Spirit Sect, the chance of gleaning some clues was considerable.
The utmost strength of the Holy Spirit Sect wasn't just Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. If Su Yu remembered correctly, at this time, there should be a Demon Emperor from ten thousand years later; now he couldn't recall the name well, just knew there was such an existence, not human but a Soul Beast.
The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, possessing likewise a million years of cultivation like the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
However, Su Yu wasn't very clear if this Demon Emperor's cultivation was indeed that high.
After all, the entity was able to survive through to ten thousand years later.
But at least one certainty was that the entity wouldn't be weaker than the Evil Emperor.
Otherwise, establishing the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters in the Evil Demon Forest would basically be impossible.
"As for Feng Ling, I want to inquire about some confidential information regarding the Holy Spirit Sect."
That Demon Emperor's goal was revenge, so she undoubtedly wouldn't cease exploring the possibility of Divinity; Su Yu thought some information could be obtained from her.
Of course, she might not cooperate, and Su Yu estimated obtaining the breakthrough information of surpassing Hundred Level might wait until his strength greatly increased.
Nevertheless, all this was just a precaution.
Su Yu didn't think when he cultivated to that level, he would still be unable to comprehend the mysteries of Divinity.
"After all, soon enough I am about to meet the true Gods, and they are at the Divine King level."
Su Yu's current Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Grass was nearing completion of creation, nurtured by Life Force to grow to about ninety thousand years, ready anytime to initiate the first Life and Death Reincarnation, thereby completely reviving from the Dead Spirit and becoming a new life form.
...
Returning to Mingde Hall.
"Hall Master, if the Holy Spirit Sect comes asking for people, just say they are already dead; turning against them completely is nothing to fear."
Mirror Hongchen nodded.
He wasn't worried about becoming enemies with the Holy Spirit Sect.
After all, the Holy Spirit Sect's strongest combat force was just two Extreme Douluo, while he himself had actually reached the strength of an Extreme Douluo.
If it were before the last Soul Fighting Competition, his Level 94 Soul Power, coupled with numerous Ninth-level Soul-guiding Devices he personally crafted, he was confident within a hundred meters of a draw with Xuanzi but ensuring mutual destruction; extending to a thousand-meter range, he had confidence to protect himself and leave, and beyond ten thousand meters, if Xuanzi didn't flee, Mirror Hongchen could win.
In war, Xuanzi would surely lose.
The implication was that he and Xuanzi were really on the same level, just with different abilities and focus, yielding different outcomes in varying situations.
And after receiving and refining the fruits given by Su Yu, the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, Mirror Hongchen's Martial Soul further evolved, and his Soul Power subsequently broke through to Super Douluo, now reaching a Soul Power Level of 97.
This level of advancement pushed his strength to definitely be on par with Xuanzi in the same domain.
Not to mention Mirror Hongchen also crafted his own Super Battle Armor, and all other Soul-guiding Devices on him were upgraded, with Fusion Soul-guiding Technology integrated with the Rune System, completely compatible with his being, allowing seamless manipulation.
With all these conditions added, Mirror Hongchen definitely possessed the combat strength of an Extreme Douluo.
At least comparable to Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao without Battle Armor.
In Su Yu's memory, Extreme Douluo could be categorized into multiple tiers such as Quasi-Demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-God; but that was the classification in the original work from ten thousand years later, a classification inclusive of the Armor System.
