Chapter 280: Only I Am the One True Light of the Righteous Path in the Soul Master World
Fire Phoenix Douluo stepped onto the bluestone floor tiles soaked in fresh blood, her high-heeled combat boots making a crisp "clack, clack" sound.
She scanned the surrounding slaughterhouse expressionlessly; the stifling air that had been stuck in her chest due to Gu Rong's escape finally dissipated a little.
"Elder, the entire Sect has been cleared. No survivors were found."
A Cardinal, his face covered in blood, stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and reported respectfully.
"An old geezer and a few little fries who haven't even grown their teeth yet managed to run away; it's not a fatal variable. The Foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been broken. Even if that little girl Ning Rongrong survives, she won't be able to stir up any major storms."
Fire Phoenix Douluo snorted coldly, completely withdrawing the scorching Martial Soul phantom behind her into her body. Her tone returned to its lofty arrogance. "This Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect claimed to be the wealthiest Sect in the world, even controlling nearly a third of the Heaven Dou Empire's wealth. There must be plenty of good things in the Sect's underground treasury."
A glint of greed flashed in her eyes as she coldly issued her final command,
"Pass down my order! Before dawn, empty their treasury of every gold coin, rare metal, Soul Bone, and Heaven And Earth Treasure that can be carried away! Even if it's a table or a painting, you must not leave even a drop of profit for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!"
"Yes! Your Subordinate obeys!"
Watching her Subordinates rush toward the inner courtyard treasury like wolves and tigers with blood-red eyes, Fire Phoenix Douluo curled her lips in satisfaction.
Then, she turned around and cast her deep gaze toward the far end of the night sky.
Although a small mishap occurred here at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, overall, the extermination mission was considered over-fulfilled.
She just wondered if the progress of those two old fellows, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who personally led teams to crack the hard bones of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect, was as smooth as hers?
After all, the Supreme Pontiff's patience is limited.
This bloody reshuffling, destined to overturn the entire landscape of the Douluo Continent, has only just begun.
However, the members of Spirit Hall below, who had lost themselves in the slaughter, did not notice at all that in the thick clouds above the night sky, a certain handsome man who wished to remain anonymous was standing in mid-air.
In his hand, he held a Karma supreme treasure that was frantically emitting black Qi, fluttering in the wind.
Wisps of black Qi, completely undetectable by others, were continuously rising from the slaughterhouse below, flooding madly into this Karma supreme treasure, making it look even more extraordinary.
If someone were to lean in and listen closely, they could even vaguely hear bursts of shrill wailing coming from inside the banner.
Of course, this definitely wasn't because the Souls inside were currently suffering in pain. According to This person, Jiang's explanation, they were simply moved to tears of gratitude by the light of the Righteous Path emanating from this supreme treasure.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. These masterless Souls flying all over the sky are truly fated to be with my Human Emperor Banner!"
Jiang Li looked at the mess below and sighed with compassion. "My poor Fellow Daoists of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you may rest in peace. Since This Jiang has accepted your providence today and taken in your homeless Souls, I will certainly demand an explanation for the blood feud of your Sect's destruction in the future."
To prevent his Foundation from becoming unstable due to his Realm rising too quickly, Jiang Li did not intend to directly refine these Souls into pure Origin for himself to absorb.
However, these Souls were taken into the banner and eventually transformed into a portion of the combat power for his Karma supreme treasure to charge into battle, sparing them the suffering of wandering and dissipating between heaven and earth. Was this not also a great providence for these people who died unjustly?
At the thought of having performed another daily act of kindness and such a meritorious deed tonight, a compassionate glow of a sage appeared on Jiang Li's face.
"Alas, in this cold and cruel Soul Master World, as expected, only I am the one true light of the Righteous Path."
On the Douluo Continent, Jiang Li was harvesting Souls with great interest in mid-air.
And in the distant God Realm Center, the God of Destruction was also staring at Jiang Li's every move through a Divine Power screen with a strange expression.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Li's shameless appearance at this moment—surrounded by black Qi yet somehow full of "righteousness"—made even the dignified God King of Destruction's temples throb involuntarily.
He even had an illusion: instead of inheriting his pure God Position of Destruction, should this black-hearted and ruthless kid have gone next door to inherit the God Position of Evil instead?
"Forget it, forget it. As long as this kid doesn't pull out that incredibly eerie Martial Soul, he usually looks like a fairly normal and decent person who understands the big picture."
The God of Destruction comforted himself frantically in his heart.
However, as the saying goes, one must always be on guard against others.
That old fellow, the God of Evil, who shouts about being bored every day and dreams of quickly dumping the God King position to run away—if he were to notice Jiang Li's second Martial Soul, which perfectly fits the Law of Evil, wouldn't he be in such a hurry that he'd come sticking to him overnight to snatch him away?
Not to mention, that old fellow's aura is present on that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger on the Douluo Continent.
Thinking of this, the God of Destruction made a prompt decision.
With a wave of his large sleeve, a surge of pure purple-black destructive Divine Power instantly broke through the dimensional barrier and silently descended upon Jiang Li in the Lower Realm.
In an instant, this power transformed into an invisible shield, tightly concealing the eerie aura emitted by his Human Emperor Banner Martial Soul.
With cover at the God King level, as long as another Divinity didn't personally descend to the Lower Realm and encounter him face-to-face, it would be absolutely impossible to detect even a hint of this Karma supreme treasure in Jiang Li's hand from across space.
Having finished these anti-theft measures, the God of Destruction nodded in satisfaction. "Speaking of which, the information about this perfect successor was originally revealed to me by Poseidon."
Recalling this, to be safe, the God of Destruction immediately moved his Divine Thought and sent a voice transmission across space to warn the Sea God, Poseidon.
When Poseidon, far away in the Sea God Temple, received the warning, he naturally nodded his head like a pestle, patting his chest and promising that he was absolutely the most tight-lipped god in the entire God Realm!
What a joke! He could see the situation on the Douluo Continent clearly now; Jiang Li's stepson, Tang San, was the Sea God successor he had finally found after much longing.
At the thought of that excellent successor who could allow him to retire smoothly, Poseidon was too busy protecting his own to possibly have the energy to go around gossiping about Jiang Li.
Why would he do such a stupid thing that would create unnecessary complications?
Everyone is just trying to get off work early. Helping each other is the fine tradition of the God Realm!
