Chapter 2586 Betrayal_1
Ya Li too pursed her thin lips, expressing her viewpoint, "I naturally agree as well, this presents a great opportunity for the inner court students to improve themselves!"
Cai Yue'er looked toward Tang Wulin, "There's no need for me to say more, however, whether this proposal passes ultimately depends on the Pavilion Master's opinion!"
Tang Wulin, who had already thought of an answer, smoothly said, "Elders, I also agree with using this method. They are outstanding inner court students and certainly won't be stumped by this slight issue!"
"Moreover, there's no better solution at the moment!"
Lan Mu Zi bitter-smiled, "Looks like it's useless for Yin Meng and me to oppose. Well then, let's give it a try!"
Tang Yinmeng also changed her stance, "Mhm, if the results are decent, it could indeed greatly alleviate our shortage of teaching staff!"
In the Sea God's Pavilion, the Pavilion Master has absolute authority, so their opposition was futile!
Seeing this, Tang Wulin continued, "In that case, let's decide on this matter. As for the arrangements that follow, we'll have to trouble Elder Cai with them."
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "No problem!"
Then, she stood up again, "With that, I declare this meeting of the Sea God's Pavilion concluded!"
…
News of the mission failure quickly made its way back to the Holy Spirit Cult and ignited discussions among several deacons...
One of the deacons sighed, "So the plan really failed, huh? Shrek Academy is vigilant as ever, no matter the time!"
Another deacon coldly "hmmphed," "It must've been those idiots who gave themselves away. The disguise techniques we used are absolutely undetectable to spiritual power probing!"
"That's not necessarily the case. It's possible that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have already developed a method to crack it. But for now, we'd better inform the Sect Hierarch about this!"
The moment the words were spoken, a lifeless voice sounded...
"No need, I've already heard."
The Ghost Emperor's figure appeared out of nowhere, his gaze coldly fixed on them...
These evil Soul Masters simultaneously bowed their heads, speaking in a tone laced with reverence, "Sect Hierarch!!"
Ever since the latter had appointed more than a dozen Super Douluo-level protectors, he had once again obtained the supreme authority of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Even the Demon Emperor couldn't shake his prestige!
The Ghost Emperor withdrew his gaze, speaking emotionlessly, "Those fools weren't exposed because of spiritual power probing; they definitely fell into a trap preemptively set by those Elders of the Sea God Pavilion."
He knew Shrek Academy very well, and even more so, he knew the apprehension those Elders of the Sea God Pavilion had towards the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters...
The deacon at the forefront swallowed hard, mustering the courage to ask, "Sect Hierarch, what should we do next? Due to the Spirit Pagoda massively recruiting Soul Masters, our Holy Spirit Cult can't expand in the shadows either!"
Unless they acted against the Xingluo Empire and the Douling Empire, but that would go against the initial purpose of returning to Soul Land!
The Ghost Emperor scoffed, "What to do? Obviously, plant our chess pieces within the Spirit Pagoda!"
With a flood of Soul Masters joining, the Spirit Pagoda simply can't weed them all out!
The former quickly replied, "Yes, Sect Hierarch, I'll go and make the arrangements immediately!"
But the Ghost Emperor waved his hand dismissively, "No rush on that matter. I sent those people to infiltrate Shrek Academy mainly to probe the internal situation!"
"Although the plan wasn't successful, it has revealed a major problem within Shrek Academy!"
"Their teaching resources have become extremely scarce after the last attack!"
"I believe the cautious Elders of the Sea God Pavilion won't hire external teachers again, if this continues, what will the outcome be?"
These deacons exchanged glances, a realization dawning on them...
It seems that the true purpose of the Sect Hierarch is to fundamentally undermine the educational standard of Shrek Academy...
When this academy no longer deserves the title of "Number One Academy of the Continent," it is the first step towards its doom!!
Therefore, once again with a respectful tone, they said, "Sect Hierarch is wise!"
But before they could say much, the Demon Emperor, emanating a bone-chilling murderous intent, charged straight towards them…
Upon seeing the Ghost Emperor, he scolded mercilessly, "Ghost Emperor, do you realize what you've done?? You've presumptuously appointed twelve protectors!!"
"Are you disregarding me, the Demon Emperor??"
She had never been as furious as she was now, the bastard in front of her had directly ignored her existence and appointed twelve protectors on his own!
And what's more, they only took orders from him!
The Ghost Emperor, who had anticipated this, calmly glanced at her and responded with an almost mocking tone, "You get angry so easily, hardly befitting a Demon Emperor!"
The Demon Emperor, however, cut him off, releasing a terrifying aura, "Ghost Emperor, cut the crap, you must give me a reasonable explanation today!!"
The Ghost Emperor's expression remained undisturbed, "Explanation? What explanation do you want? Because of your orders, all four Great Heavenly Kings were sacrificed, and the Holy Spirit Cult lost a great deal of its elite fighting force."
"Do you think you still have the right to command?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor was about to explode...
The death of the four Great Heavenly Kings was indeed her responsibility, but the fundamental cause was the Ghost Emperor!!
And now, he was brazenly pushing all the blame onto her!
Suppressing her rage, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ghost Emperor, you bastard..."
The Ghost Emperor didn't stop, but instead continued to taunt, "Demon Emperor, you should calm down and take a good look at the situation now."
"As of now, there is no place for you in the Holy Spirit Cult!"
The Demon Emperor sensed something was amiss, her expression darkening as she demanded, "Ghost Emperor, what is the meaning of this?"
He shrugged indifferently but cold lights flickered in his eyes beneath the mask, "Nothing much, the Holy Spirit Cult only needs one Sect Hierarch!"
The Demon Emperor was stunned, then slowly articulated, "You want me to leave the Holy Spirit Cult? Just try it!!"
She, as the supreme Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, how could she possibly leave just like that!!
The Ghost Emperor shook his head, licking the corner of his lips, "Heh, you misunderstood, I'm not asking you to leave, but to disappear forever!"
In an instant, the Martial Soul behind him and the Soul Ring beneath his feet were all released...
Yet the Demon Emperor was not at all afraid, "With you alone, you do not have the ability!"
In a solo fight, the Ghost Emperor was not her match at all!
The Ghost Emperor didn't rush to attack, but instead gently clapped his hands, "Indeed, I am not your opponent, but... what if they join in?"
To the naked eye, more than a dozen powerful forces appeared behind the Demon Emperor, shockingly, Vice Sect Leader Halosa and the twelve protectors appointed not long ago...
The Demon Emperor's pupils shrank as she demanded, "Halosa, even you betray me!"
Halosa sighed, drawing his Divine Artifact...
Pointing it at the Demon Emperor, he said coldly, "My Lord Demon Emperor, you are too naive; I have never been loyal to anyone!"
