The next day!
Back at the Sea God's Pavilion!!
Cai Yue'er looked at the Elders sitting around her and sighed, "It seems that nothing I say can change the outcome anymore!"
In the previous vote, only she and Ya'li had chosen not to support the Dou Spirit Empire!!
While all the others had chosen to support the Dou Spirit Empire!
According to the usual rule of majority rule, they had no room for rebuttal on this matter...
Ya'li nodded slightly, equally lamenting, "Indeed, everyone is very firm about supporting the Dou Spirit Empire and will not yield!"
"Then, there's nothing more for us to say!"
Tang Wulin looked at them, pursed his lips, and said, "Elder Cai, Elder Ya'li, I know you're worried about the academy, but eradicating evil Soul Masters has always been the responsibility of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"
"If we turn a blind eye to evil Soul Masters today, then how can we still have the face to exist in the world?!"
Cai Yue'er and Ya'li exchanged a glance, then sat back down in their seats...
Seeing this, the former again said, "Since Elder Cai and Elder Ya'li no longer have any objections to supporting the Dou Spirit Empire, it is now time to decide which Elders will be dispatched to the Dou Spirit Empire!!"
At these words, Xie Xie immediately said with a disgruntled tone, "Wulin, even though I agree with supporting the Dou Spirit Empire, I won't go, no matter what, I won't. That Xue Yuntian just dismissed me with a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, only a fool would continue to risk his life to protect him!"
Remembering this matter, he felt somewhat frustrated...
Yue Zhengyu was a bit speechless, "Hey, hey, Xie Xie, now is not the time to be petulant, right? Besides, that Xue Yuntian gave you such a well-fitting soul bone, you should just be happy!"
Xu Xiaoyan was also full of envy, "Exactly, if it were me, I'd be too happy to even care!!"
Xu Lizhi also muttered, "It's a pity I'm a support-class Soul Master, otherwise, I'd really like to experience a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!!"
Being a support-class Soul Master, if he absorbed a soul bone dropped by a powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beast, he would likely suffer a backlash!
So this was something he only dreamt about and never really hoped for!
Xie Xie crossed his arms, "Say whatever you want, I'm not going!"
The corners of Tang Wulin's mouth lifted slightly...
Not going? I have several ways to make you go!!
He instantly turned his gaze to Yuanen Yehui and asked, "Ye Hui, did you hear that? Xie Xie says he won't go, what about you?"
She answered almost without hesitation, "I am willing to go! But not to save Xue Yuntian, but to exterminate the evil Soul Masters!!"
Xie Xie immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Come on, Wulin, you're doing this on purpose, right??"
Of course, Tang Wulin wouldn't admit it, and instead explained seriously, "Xie Xie, I don't know what you're talking about. Ye Hui is powerful, and she can play a significant role in eradicating the evil Soul Masters!"
Xie Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine, fine, you win! Will that make you happy if I go?"
This outcome left Tang Wulin very satisfied as he shifted his gaze to Yue Zhengyu and others...
Yue Zhengyu quickly caught on and replied, "My Martial Soul can counter evil Soul Masters, so naturally, I should go!"
Tang Wulin nodded in understanding...
Xu Xiaoyan spoke up from the side, "Wulin, I'm willing to..."
But before she could finish, Tang Wulin interrupted, "Xiao Yan, as a control-class Soul Master, you should stay at the academy!"
"Xing Lan, and Lizhi, you too!!"
Ye Xinglan frowned, "Wulin, it's understandable for Lizhi and Xiao Yan, but why should I stay at the academy? Are you saying that I'm not strong enough to help?"
After all, as an Assault-type Soul Master, she most definitely had the power to kill the enemy!
The former, who had anticipated this response, patiently replied, "Xinglan, we are all witnesses to your strength, but the academy also needs powerful Soul Masters to guard it!"
Ye Xinglan opened her mouth, "I... I understand now!"
Since Wulin had put it that way, there must be a reason, and she should follow his words unconditionally!
...
After some discussion, the list of Elders selected to go to the Dou Spirit Empire was finally confirmed...
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Therefore, those chosen to go to the Dou Spirit Empire are myself, Xie Xie, Ye Hui, Zheng Yu, Sister Tang, and Elder Ya'li!"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed without objection!
Only Ya'li responded in a surprised tone, "Wulin, to be honest, I didn't expect you to choose me to go to the Dou Spirit Empire!"
"Both Lizhi and I are support-class Soul Masters!"
Tang Wulin chuckled, "Elder Ya'li is joking, although you are a support-class Soul Master, your combat power is no weaker than any assault-type Soul Master!"
"Moreover, with your strong healing abilities, you can minimize the casualties in war!"
A long time ago in a particular battle, it was precisely because of her appearance that the whole situation on the battlefield changed drastically!
Upon hearing this, Ya'li readily agreed, "If that's the case, then there is no problem for me to go!"
Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh with relief, to tell the truth, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to convince everyone earlier!
But, thanks to his position as the Pavilion Master!
Thinking this, his tone gradually became serious, "Well, there's no time to lose. Let's all get ready and depart for the Dou Spirit Empire this afternoon!"
"As for the academy, that will be left in your hands, Elder Cai!"
Cai Yue'er gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry, as long as we are alive, the academy will not suffer any damage at all!"
"It's you guys who need to be careful of those evil Soul Masters. Though Ya'li can heal injuries, some special attacks are still impossible to counter,"
Tang Wulin's face showed determination, "Mhm, all of us will return completely unharmed!"
...
federation!
The Chairman, upon receiving the message, reflected, "It's really surprising that the Dou Spirit Empire is facing a crisis and only seeks help from Shrek Academy and the Xingluo Empire!"
The other Council Members, upon hearing this, started to speculate...
"Maybe Xue Yuntian knows about the delicate situation between the federation and Spirit Pagoda and knows they can't provide support!"
"Mhm, that's very likely. The Dou Spirit Empire has always lacked presence, but it has been keeping an eye on the situation in Soul Land in secret!"
"Tch, this Xue Yuntian does have some brains, the federation is at such a critical time, how could it possibly provide support to the Dou Spirit Empire!"
The Chairman shook his head and gestured with his hand, "Enough, since the Dou Spirit Empire hasn't asked for help from the federation, there's no need for us to embarrass ourselves!"
"Our main focus should still be on the God-killing soul-guided missiles, to prevent the Spirit Pagoda from interfering!"
This statement received unanimous agreement from the Council Members...
"The Chairman is right. But I wonder, what's the progress with the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles?"
They, after all, had high hopes for this!!
