Chapter 2064: Encirclement (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Yuanen Zhentian echoed, "Elder Ya'li is right, we might as well find a hotel in Lingbo City for a temporary rest!"

This statement was immediately met with unanimous agreement from everyone…

Subsequently, they found a hotel in Lingbo City, booked two large rooms, and quietly waited for nightfall…

…

Spirit Transmission Tower Branch of Lingbo City!

Inside the grand hall at the top floor, several Soul Masters dressed in black robes and possessing formidable strength, were sitting calmly in their seats…

And facing them, conversing, was a high-ranking official dressed in the attire of the Spirit Pagoda, indeed one of Qiangugu Dongfeng's old subordinates!

Strangely enough, there was no hostility between the groups because of their identities; on the contrary, the atmosphere was unusually harmonious…

Just then, a member of the Spirit Pagoda burst into the hall and bowed, "Reporting to all the lords, we received news not long ago that people from Shrek Academy arrived in our Lingbo City this afternoon!"

The moment these words were spoken, they immediately captured the attention of everyone present…

One of the Soul Masters furrowed his brow, "Shrek Academy? What are they doing in Lingbo City?"

The Spirit Pagoda member bowed his head nervously, "They are said to be here to purchase rare metals, but their exact purpose is unknown!"

Another Soul Master coldly said, "The people from Shrek Academy haven't come to Lingbo City for decades, and today, they have arrived with such fanfare. I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

"Hmm, I remember that in the past few days, there were two traitors who made unauthorized contact with the outside. Perhaps it's related to them!"

"That's right, the delegation from Shrek Academy might have received their distress signal and specifically come here to rescue them,"

The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Pagoda, who hadn't spoken until now, all had unsightly expressions on their faces…

They began to speak, "In my opinion, just to be safe, it would be best to eliminate them all tonight!"

"Exactly, if they are indeed here to rescue the detained personnel, the information about the collaboration between our Spirit Transmission Tower Branch and your esteemed Cult will definitely be exposed!"

"Currently, we're still unsure about the strength of the Shrek Academy delegation, it's best not to act rashly!"

"Heh, the people from Shrek Academy may be powerful, but don't forget, this is Lingbo City, our territory. Killing them would be a piece of cake!"

The entire Lingbo City was almost completely under their control, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say it was independent of the Douling Empire!

Moreover, with a vast number of Evil Soul Masters at their disposal, how could a few dozen from Shrek Academy possibly turn the tide!

The leading Hyper Douluo level Evil Soul Master pondered for a moment before issuing a chilling command, "In that case, let the Spirit Pagoda branch send a part of their Soul Masters, along with our people, to exterminate these Shrek Academy individuals!"

The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Pagoda looked at each other, and immediately agreed…

Their ability to dominate Lingbo City hinged on the terrifying strength of this Hyper Douluo in front of them!

Naturally, they wouldn't offend him over a trifling matter!

…

Inside the hotel…

Yue Zhengyu watched the sky grow dim and subconsciously covered his heart, "It's already evening, but I don't know why, my heart is constantly thumping, as if something big is about to happen"

Yuanen Yehui spoke in a deep voice, "Indeed, ever since we moved into this hotel, I've felt that someone has been secretly watching us!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi expressed his apprehension, "Could it be that this hotel is also related to Spirit Pagoda and Holy Spirit Cult?"

Ye Xinglan glanced at him and explained, "To put it simply, the entire Lingbo City is filled with spies from the Spirit Pagoda and Holy Spirit Cult. One could say that it's completely out of Douling Empire's control now!"

Xu Xiaoyan muttered, "I really don't know what the emperor of the Douling Empire is thinking. A huge city being eroded in the shadows like this, and he hasn't noticed anything!"

Gu Yue pursed her thin lips and responded, "Perhaps it's not that he hasn't noticed, but rather that Lingbo City has brought great benefits to the Douling Empire, and he has chosen to turn a blind eye!"

Xu Xiaoyan curled her lip, "Hmph, that just shows that the emperor of the Douling Empire is short-sighted, actually cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Then, she looked towards Tang Wulin and said, "Wulin, we have nothing to do staying in the hotel, so why not..."

Before she could finish, Tang Wulin interrupted, "No, Elder Ya'li and Elder Yuan'en have left the hotel to investigate. For now, we stay here!"

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the room's door was suddenly pushed open...

Long Yuxue and the others stepped in with anxious expressions, "Wulin, the situation is not good. Just as we left the hotel, we found that we were surrounded by members of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"And besides, there are many evil Soul Masters emitting an evil aura!"

Aruheng took a deep breath, "If I'm not mistaken, their target must be us!!"

Jiang Wuyue readied himself, saying, "Judging by their speed, they will likely arrive in a few minutes. We must be prepared for battle!"

All eyes turned to Tang Wulin, awaiting his decision...

Tang Wulin clenched his fists and ground his teeth, "It's just that Elder Ya'li and Elder Yuan'en are not here. If a direct conflict starts, there might be casualties!"

Although he wished to slaughter all these evil Soul Masters, he would never take the risk of his companions possibly being wiped out!

After contemplating repeatedly, he said coldly, "The Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters are numerous. Direct confrontation isn't a good idea, so... we escape!!"

"As for Elder Ya'li and Elder Yuan'en, with their strength, finding us won't be difficult!"

Xie Xie expressed his displeasure, "Escape? Wulin, that's not like you. We, the Shrek Seven Monsters, have never feared evil Soul Masters!"

Yue Zhengyu confidently added, "Exactly, we've encountered evil Soul Masters not once or twice but three or four times. We have experience in fighting them; there's absolutely no need to run!"

A cold light flickered in Ye Xinglan's eyes, "Killing evil Soul Masters is precisely the duty of us Shrek students! If need be, we'll fight them head-on!"

Yuanen Yehui was also brimming with fighting spirit, "Since the Spirit Pagoda and Holy Spirit Cult have sent so many people, it proves they don't understand our strength. It's not certain that we would lose if we fought!"

Seeing this, Long Yuxue and her companions immediately expressed their stance, "Wulin, you're the captain of the Blood Dragon Squad. Just give the order; even if we have to fight these evil Soul Masters, we have no complaints!"

Jiang Wuyue straightened his chest and said, "Right. We, the Blood Dragon Squad, aren't even afraid of abyssal creatures, let alone mere evil Soul Masters. They're nothing to us!"

Aruheng gave Tang Wulin a complex look, "Junior brother, I don't have much to say. Whatever decision you make, I will support you with all my strength!"

Sima Jinchi released his Martial Soul without hesitation, fearlessly declaring, "If it's a fight they want, then a fight they'll get. Let's show these evil Soul Masters the power of Mad Blade Demon!!"
