Hearing this sentence, the evil Soul Masters looked at each other, each revealing a hint of hesitation...

If they divulged the plan, even if they managed to escape from these people back to the Holy Spirit Cult, they would not escape the punishment of the Vice Sect Hierarch!

But if they did not speak, they would surely die!!

Weighing the pros and cons, the evil Soul Master at the forefront took a deep breath, "I'll talk! But you have to promise to let us go!"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian replied without a change of expression, "Alright, I agree to your request!"

Only then did the former continue, "We come from the Holy Spirit Cult, following the Vice Sect Hierarch's orders to surveil this legion! The specific time was one month after this legion was established!"

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes sharpened as she pursued, "Then, what's the reason for your actions? I believe this legion hasn't provoked the Holy Spirit Cult, right?"

Just the thought of attracting the attention of the Holy Spirit Cult within a month of establishment was enough to send a shiver down one's spine!

Clamping his teeth, the evil Soul Master braced himself and replied, "Indeed not, we were merely obeying orders to surveil, as for the reason behind it, only the Vice Sect Hierarch knows!"

Upon hearing his words, the other evil Soul Masters all seemed to evade with their gaze...

This very scene, to the ferocious beasts watching, clearly seemed like evasion, and they instantly saw through the fact that he was not telling the truth!

Bi Ji said coldly, "Still not telling the truth at this point, do you really not want to live?"

"I think we should just kill them. Indeed, evil Soul Masters are just like Soul Masters, both are duplicitous and cunning. Even if they speak, there's little credibility!"

"That's right, there's no use in asking! Keeping them around is an eyesore, just kill them!"

"It's a pity that the boss is still soft-hearted enough to think of giving them a way out. Since they're seeking death, they have no one to blame!"

Di Tian, looking at the ferocious beasts standing behind the evil Soul Masters, commanded in a cold voice, "Since they won't speak, then take action! Not a single one spared!"

The latter revealed a cruel smile and slowly advanced towards the evil Soul Masters, "Yes, boss!"

Watching him approach, the evil Soul Masters' hearts began to beat rapidly, subconsciously recalling their companions who had died horribly before...

The intense fear once again filled their minds...

Seeing that they were really about to be attacked, the leading evil Soul Master did not hesitate to spill everything he knew, "Wait, don't do it, I'll talk! I'll talk now! The reason the Vice Sect Hierarch sent us to surveil was to wait until this legion developed to a certain extent and then incorporate it into the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Moreover, judging by the current scale of this legion, we should be making our move soon!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the complexion of all the ferocious beasts, including Gu Yue, underwent a drastic change...

Bi Ji bit her thin lips, "I never expected the Holy Spirit Cult's intention to be to annex our legion!!"

"A mere Holy Spirit Cult dares to harbor designs on our legion; they truly don't know life from death."

"We've just destroyed Tang Sect and inflicted heavy damage on Shrek Academy, and they still dare to target our legion. Let them come, and we'll slaughter them all!"

Gu Yue, with a grave expression, said to Di Tian, "Di Tian, this matter is no small thing; we must strengthen the legion's alertness!"

Di Tian nodded, "Yes, I will arrange for people to keep watch in turns at a distance from the legion."

As long as it wasn't an all-out attack by the powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult, it should not be a big problem!

Seeing this, the evil Soul Master cautiously inquired, "Then... can we go now?"

Di Tian glanced at them and silently closed his eyes...

The ferocious beasts standing before them immediately got the hint and said coolly, "Hehe, the boss said to let you go, but he didn't say I had to let you go!"

At this moment, the evil Soul Masters finally understood that Di Tian and the others had never intended to spare them from the beginning!

After taking a few steps back, they said in a horrified tone, "No... no! You're playing dirty, you're breaking your word, you have no sense of martial ethics!"

"How could you do this? If you kill us, we evil Soul Masters will never let you off!"

...

The Mintang Hall Master nodded in agreement, "Elder Cai is absolutely right, yet the destruction of the Tang Sect is an unimaginable blow to the disciples; expecting them to focus on locating the Holy Spirit Cult is barely possible!"

Pausing for a moment, he added, "Tang Sect disciples have always valued relationships, without some time, it's very hard for them to walk out of the shadows!"

However, in his view, as long as the Tang Sect's disciples were alive, then the Tang Sect had not truly been destroyed!

This was precisely the reason they could recover from the setback so swiftly...

Cai Yue'er was taken aback for a moment and after contemplating for a few seconds...

She spoke hesitantly, "In that case, what do you think about temporarily incorporating the Tang Sect disciples into Shrek Academy?"

To say such a thing now seemed somewhat like taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state!

But indeed, incorporating the now sectless Tang Sect disciples into Shrek Academy was the best choice!

The Power Hall Master decisively shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Elder Cai, we understand your intentions, but merging into Shrek Academy is impossible!"

The Mintang Hall Master echoed, "Yes, merging into Shrek Academy under these circumstances would be equivalent to betraying the sect!"

In the rules of the Tang Sect, this was a grave disrespect!

Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er's cheeks showed traces of disappointment, "I see... then let's drop the idea... ah..."

If the Tang Sect disciples could be temporarily merged into Shrek Academy, their overall strength might even not diminish much compared to their peak!

But just as the two Hall Masters said, convincing these disciples to willingly merge was virtually impossible!

As the three of them were at a loss, a somewhat panicked outer courtyard student sprinted towards them at full speed...

After catching his breath, he looked at them urgently and said, "Elder Cai, both Hall Masters, it seems like someone is leading many Soul Masters dressed in Tang Sect attire over here!"

Upon hearing this, the Mintang Hall Master's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously grabbed the student's shoulders, excitedly saying, "What? Disciples dressed in Tang Sect attire? Could it be that..."

The Power Hall Master said with joy, "It's very likely that the Sect Leader had most of the disciples evacuate before the Tang Sect was destroyed!"

Cai Yue'er's beautiful eyes flickered, "Then let's go see now, if these truly are Tang Sect disciples that survived in front of the Soul cannonballs, then naturally that's good!"

Following that, a group of people arrived at the gates of Shrek Academy!

Indeed, they could instantly see the many Tang Sect disciples with grief-filled faces and red eyes...

Liang Xiaoyu and Zhao Song immediately walked over, urgently asking, "Hu Jie, Li Yunzhe! Why is it only you, where are the others?"

Hu Jie, who was initially quite excited to see familiar faces, couldn't help but bury his head a bit lower and clenched his fist upon hearing this question, "Apart from us and the disciples behind us, the Sect Leader and the others, they all..."
