With that thought, the two of them couldn't help but inhale a chill breath, "If that's the case, the overall strength of the Holy Spirit Cult might even rival Shrek Academy!"
Moreover, when it comes to high-end combat power, it would crush any other force on the Continent!!
Cai Yue'er continued, "That's right, it's precisely for this reason that our Shrek Academy has to be much more cautious in all aspects of management, otherwise, it's a single misstep, and we lose everything!"
"This time, we're speaking out in the hope that the Tang Sect will pay more attention to this!"
The Mintang Hall Master said with a clasped fist, "We have learned our lesson and will immediately send someone to inform the Sect Leader!"
Had Shrek Academy not reminded us, we might well have been fooled by the strength displayed by the Holy Spirit Cult!
…
Elsewhere, from the cratered ground created by the battle, a thick scent of blood wafted through the air. If one were to look down, they would find themselves surrounded by pools of blood and severed limbs!
Upon closer observation, most of the bodies lying on the ground were clad in black robes, clearly, they were evil Soul Masters!
And at this moment, quite a few disciples from the Tang Sect were dealing with the corpses and searching the surroundings…
The leader of this little group glanced at the ground and asked, "How's the situation?"
A masked disciple from Mintang answered, "Captain, the den of evil Soul Masters in this area has been completely cleared! Not a single survivor!"
The captain nodded, his expression growing more serious, "What about our casualties?"
The Mintang disciple gritted their teeth, somewhat unwillingly, "Thirty-three dead, forty-six severely injured."
The team captain inhaled sharply, "Forty-six? The soul skills of the evil Soul Masters are indeed tricky; even faced with our surprise attack, they could still inflict such heavy casualties!"
The reason evil Soul Masters are feared is not because of their strength but the unpredictably tricky soul skills! A careless touch, and one could instantly lose their life!
Seeing this, the Mintang disciple pursed his lips and said, "Captain… Are we Tang Sect being too selfless in helping Shrek Academy at such a great cost?"
Why should the Tang Sect bear such great risks for Shrek Academy without any benefit?
At these words, the team captain immediately reprimanded, "Don't say such things again. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are the closest of allies, the two are symbiotic! If one suffers a catastrophic blow, the other would be greatly affected!"
Besides, even the Sect Leader was once one of the Shrek Seven Monsters!
The Mintang disciple was stunned, then bowed his head and muttered, "Yes, captain!"
Just then, another disciple stepped forward, "Report, captain, the corpses and bloodstains around have been cleaned up; we can proceed!"
While they had been conversing, all the corpses and bloodstains around had been burned away!
This was also to prevent the very few evil Soul Masters from using soul skills to cling to life at the brink of death!
"Hmm, let's move forward. Tell everyone to conceal their Soul Power and to avoid startling the evil Soul Masters when encountering them, so as to not cause unnecessary additional casualties!"
…
Holy Spirit Cult!
Nanali, dressed in a red robe, pushed open the door and walked in…
In an instant, the Dark Blood Devil and Leng Yulai both gave her their attention…
The former asked with a sinister tone, "Oh? Nanali, you're back. How did it go?"
Curiosity also flickered in Leng Yulai's beautiful eyes, awaiting the answer…
But Nanali just glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "Annihilated."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Blood Devil expressed surprise, "Worthy of the Dark Bell, to have wiped out the Tang Sect so easily!"
Leng Yulai also showed an expression of disbelief…
Thinking to herself, "Actually succeeded in wiping out the Tang Sect?"
Could the rumors about the Tang Sect be mere unfounded speculation?
Nanali pursed her lips and calmly said, "You may have misunderstood, what I meant was that the evil Soul Masters leading the assault were all annihilated!"
In an instant, the expressions of the Dark Blood Devil and Leng Yulai stiffened, and their eyes filled with gravity...
"What about the Tang Sect? What are their casualty figures?"
Upon hearing this, Nanali let out a cold laugh, "The Tang Sect... Heh."
This action made the Dark Blood Devil's face somewhat unable to hang, and he said coldly, "Nanali, what do you mean by this? Are you mocking us?"
Although they were both among the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, his strength was quite a bit stronger than Nanali's!
Just then, Halos's figure suddenly appeared, saying coldly, "What she means is, this attack didn't even breach the Tang Sect's most basic defenses!"
In order to understand the Tang Sect's true strength, he had also secretly observed the entire battle!
The Tang Sect had actually slain more than three thousand members of the Holy Spirit Cult without suffering a single casualty!
Their overall strength far exceeded his expectations!
The Dark Blood Devil took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Vice Tower Master, are you saying that with the strength of our Holy Spirit Cult, we still cannot destroy the Tang Sect?"
If that was the case, the situation would be rather bad!
Who knew that Halos would curve the corners of his mouth and say, "No... on the contrary, the Tang Sect is not worth mentioning!"
Everyone, including Nanali, showed a puzzled look...
They completely didn't understand why Halos would say such a thing!
Halos seemed to see their doubts and explained coldly, "Indeed, the Tang Sect's foundation is not weak, but that's only if they don't leave the Tang Sect as a basis!"
"Once they leave the Tang Sect, their strength is nothing worth mentioning in front of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Of course, this also indicated one thing... the Tang Sect would place most of their combat power within the sect!
And that was exactly the biggest breakthrough!
As long as that thing being developed was completed, they could easily destroy the entire Tang Sect!
The benefits this would bring were far greater than taking action against Shrek Academy!
After all, although that thing was lethal, it couldn't completely annihilate level 98 Hyper Douluos and those above!
The Sect Hierarch and the Demon Emperor ought to understand this!
The Dark Blood Devil showed an expression of sudden realization, cupping his chin and chuckled sinisterly, "So that's how it is... thinking of it this way, the Tang Sect's threat to us can indeed be disregarded!"
Leng Yulai closed her beautiful eyes, "It seems that the loss of those three thousand evil Soul Masters was not such a bad deal after all."
Halos turned around unhurriedly, "Then, I will go and inform the Sect Hierarch and the Demon Emperor now."
However, just before he took his leave, he suddenly paused and looked complicatedly at Nanali, "Right, there's one more thing to say!"
"Nanali, now that you are one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, I hope you won't do things that disappoint everyone!"
There was a hint of irony, considering that since joining the Holy Spirit Cult, Nanali hadn't actively killed a single Soul Master!
This caused Halos to doubt whether she could truly be trusted!
Naturally, Nanali also heard the underlying meaning, and with a cold expression retorted, "Vice Sect Hierarch, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me?"
Halos just smiled and said nothing more, walking away on his own...
