Chapter 559: Poison Immortal, Falling (Please Subscribe)_1

The massive head of the Golden Holy Dragon slammed into Poison Immortal, erupting with an appalling shockwave...

And the body of the Golden Holy Dragon began to disintegrate bit by bit in the poison fog. Just as it was about to disappear entirely, a clear "pfft!" was heard, and Poison Immortal's body could not withstand the impact and exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

As he died, the surrounding crimson restrictions suddenly shattered like glass...

Seizing the moment, Long Xiaoyao quickly took control of the remaining head of the Black Dragon, carrying Ye Xishui as they fled into the distance...

Outside, the Origin Sect Elders, who had been blocking the way, saw the Black Dragon disappear in the blink of an eye and angrily shouted, "Dammit! They've escaped!"

Another Origin Sect Elder, anxious to rescue, said, "Quick, go in and see how the Sect Master is!"

Just as the Origin Sect disciples were about to enter the space filled with poison fog, they were stopped by a voice—it was none other than an Origin Sect Elder!

"No one touch this poison fog! The Sect Master has used his ninth soul skill! There's no way he can survive!"

He had heard from Poison Immortal that the latter's ninth soul skill amplified the potency of his poison a hundredfold! Even a level-99 Ultimate Douluo would be instantly corroded upon contact!

Therefore, they absolutely must not touch this poison fog!

An agitated Origin Sect Disciple said, "What? How can the Sect Master just fall like this? I don't believe it!"

No sooner had he spoken than he activated his Soul Guidance Device Shield and charged into the poison fog-filled space, but before he could take a few steps, the shield was engulfed, and the man turned into a puddle of mud...

Seeing the fate of this Origin Sect Disciple, the other disciples all gasped in shock...

"Hiss... such terrifying poison! Touch and die instantly!"

"Could it be that the Sect Master really has fallen? Damn Holy Spirit Cult!!"

"We can't forgive this. We must unite with other powers to eliminate Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui!"

"How can we eliminate them? These are two level-99 Ultimate Douluos, if your head's harder then go ahead!"

One of the Elders roared, "Everybody shut up! This toxin will only continue to spread outside. All Origin Sect disciples leave this place immediately, and Origin Sect Elders follow me to seal off this area right now"

...

Little did they know, within a room inside the Origin Sect...

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were panting heavily, knowing that if they had been even a moment later, becoming surrounded by the Origin Sect Elders would have meant nothing but a dead end...

Ye Xishui looked at Long Xiaoyao with concern in her beautiful eyes, as the latter's arm was completely swollen red...

"Xiaoyao, have you come into contact with the poison?"

If she were the one to touch such a potent poison, without using her ninth soul skill, she would also face certain death!

Long Xiaoyao, enduring the severe pain from his arm, shook his head, "Although I didn't touch the poison fog, just the burning sensation alone has made my arm swell up like this..."

Ye Xishui pursed her lips and coldly smirked, "Good, since Poison Immortal is dead, once we recover, we will take down the entire Origin Sect and turn them all into evil Soul Masters!"

She did not plan to allow each person to retain their consciousness like when she established the Holy Spirit Cult. Instead, she would use forbidden arts to turn all of Origin Sect into her puppets!

Utterly obedient to her!

Long Xiaoyao frowned slightly, "Xishui, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

To turn thousands of people from the Origin Sect into evil Soul Masters was a concept unheard of!

But the key point was that with Ye Xishui's strength as an Ultimate Douluo, it was indeed possible for her to achieve it!

Ye Xishui, seeing Long Xiaoyao's obvious disapproval, coldly shouted, "Xiaoyao, don't forget, when the Holy Spirit Cult was eradicated, the Body Sect also took part. What do these matter?"

...

Despite the Body Sect Elders repeatedly emphasizing the importance of keeping the news of Poison Immortal's demise a secret, within a few hours, the information still reached the ears of various great sects and empires...

Within the Sea God's Pavilion...

Elder Xuan looked at Yan Shaozhe in shock, "What? Poison Immortal of the Body Sect has fallen?"

Yan Shaozhe spoke gravely, "That's right! According to the information, Poison Immortal was killed by Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui acting together. Even though Poison Immortal had broken through to a level-99 Ultimate Douluo, he was still no match for them!"

Xian Lin'er slammed the table violently, her face grim as she said, "Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui have such audacity to plot and kill an Ultimate Douluo!"

Zhang Lexuan coldly shouted, "This is a blatant slap in the face to all the other sects and academies!"

Elder Song mused, "I fear the Body Sect is now going to be plunged into chaos. Those Elders have been coveting the position of Sect Master, and now is a good opportunity for a power grab."

Elder Xuan stroked his beard, "Piecing the whole event together, I fear that the one who killed the Three-eyed Golden Lion was none other than Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. From the very beginning, they planned to use the beast tide to draw the Body Sect Elders out and then launch a sneak attack!"

Elder Zhuang let out a cold huff, "I fear their primary target must be Shrek Academy! The reason for choosing the Body Sect could be that Shrek City and Shrek Academy are not too far apart—a well-calculated move!"

Yan Shaozhe suggested, "Elder Xuan, I think we should improve the strength of the students guarding the gates of Shrek Academy and have the inner court students and Elders of the Sea God Pavilion take over!"

Zhang Lexuan was the first to agree, "I concur! It's a time of crisis; we can't be careless!"

Cai Mei'er followed closely, "I agree as well! And we should activate the Ninth-Level Defense Soul Guidance Device immediately!"

This piece of ninth-grade soul tool was a shield type designed to envelop the entire academy. When subjected to a terrifying attack, it would automatically draw on stored Soul Power to defend, whereas normally it only required a small amount of Soul Power to maintain its vitality.

Aside from members of the Sea God's Pavilion who were not present, everyone agreed to this plan...

Elder Xuan slowly stood up, "Then it's settled. After the Sea God's Pavilion meeting concludes, Shaozhe, you and Mei'er lead the inner court students to activate the Ninth-Level Defense Soul Guidance Device!"

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er responded in unison, "Yes, Elder Xuan."

Afterward, the Sea God's Pavilion meeting came to an end...

Following the complete exhaustion of all Soul Power by Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei'er, and the inner court students charging the Defensive Soul Guidance Device, the entire vast Shrek Academy was finally covered by a membrane-like light shield rippling with ripples...

Yan Shaozhe smacked his lips and said, "It actually requires so much Soul Power to activate!"

Cai Mei'er, unable to run away, teased, "That's normal, considering it's a soul tool of the same grade able to withstand hits from ninth-grade soul tools. If it only needed a little Soul Power to charge, would you trust it?"

Yan Shaozhe scratched his head, "Makes sense..."

And the outer court students of Shrek who were unaware of the whole story, looked at this protective barrier and began to discuss heatedly...

"Is this light shield a sign of an attack?"

"Think about it with your head, it's impossible, right? It must be some kind of defensive soul tool!"

"Stop guessing, guys. This is a Defensive Soul Guidance Device created by Elder Qian Yu, Xuan Ziwen, and Dean Fan. It's said to withstand all attacks below a ninth-grade soul tool."

Seeing no special changes occurring in the light shield that resembled a thin film even after a long while, all the students lost interest in discussing it...
