War God Hall!
Yueguan looked at Chen Xinjie before him and said, "Hall Master, we have now found several federal high-ranking officials who have colluded secretly with the Holy Spirit Cult, and we have already arrested them!"
Chen Xinjie's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Have you interrogated them about the terms of their collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Yueguan shook his head with a trace of anger, "No, they seem to know that we have n'o evidence, so they refuse to admit any collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult!"
After all, once they admitted it, the War God Hall could execute them all without facing any sanctions from the federation!
But if they did not admit it, the War God Hall, lacking evidence, could only detain them and dared not take any further action!
Chen Xinjie snorted coldly, "Hmph! These guys are really tough, thinking that by keeping their mouths shut, they can hide their misdeeds!"
Seeing this, Yueguan spoke up again, "Hall Master, what should we do next? Even if we have found all the federal officials who colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, I'm afraid we can't convict them!"
Chen Xinjie's face sank, "No rush... Colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, they are bound to slip up! Finding evidence is just a matter of time!"
Yueguan nodded in understanding and then, as if he had thought of something...
"Right, Hall Master, there is something very strange. I have visited Shrek Academy many times, and I have never seen the Sea God Pavilion Master from beginning to end!"
Chen Xinjie was slightly surprised, "Oh? Maybe Yun Ming didn't intend to see you!"
It had been several months since Shrek Academy was attacked, and Yueguan was still bringing it up actively!
Yueguan's eyes narrowed slightly, "No... In the past when I visited Shrek Academy, Yun Ming was always present!"
There was a pause, and then he shared his suspicion, "So, I suspect that the Sea God Pavilion Master has fallen while defending against the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, just like the former Tang Sect Master!!"
Chen Xinjie frowned slightly, "Impossible, the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell is indeed terrifying, but Yun Ming's strength is even stronger than mine, and he would have had the chance to escape!"
Yueguan pursed his lips, "But Hall Master, have you considered one thing, if Yun Ming had fled, the entire Shrek City would have been turned to ruins..."
Chen Xinjie fell silent...
He also understood that what Yueguan said seemed very credible!
Otherwise, there was no explanation for why he had never seen Yun Ming on his multiple visits to Shrek Academy!
After a while, he reminded him, "Yueguan, do not reveal this matter yet. If Yun Ming has indeed fallen, and the Sea God Pavilion has issued no notification, they might be deliberately concealing this matter!"
"If exposed, it could lead to considerable panic!"
Yueguan naturally understood this point, "Hall Master, I understand!"
With that, he quickly left!
Looking back at Chen Xinjie, he looked up at the sky and murmured, "Yun Ming, if you truly sacrificed yourself under the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, it would be a real pity..."
He knew that the other party had attained godhood, but for some reason, he had not ascended to the Divine Realm yet!
But now, if he was dead, everything was gone!
...
Then, Tang Wulin answered seriously, "Teacher Wu, we will still participate, the moment we joined the inner court of Shrek Academy, we were prepared to sacrifice ourselves at any time!"
It was an opportunity to accumulate experience in combating evil Soul Masters, so that in the event of an even greater war in the future, they could protect themselves and their companions!
Beside him, Ye Xinglan also took a deep breath, "That's right, the Holy Spirit Cult not only killed many of our inner court students, but the Pavilion Master also sacrificed himself to protect Shrek. This enmity... we must avenge!"
Xie Xie patted his chest, "It's just the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, nothing to be afraid of! Besides, isn't Teacher Wu here with us?"
A Soul Sage like Wu Changkong was terrifyingly powerful, and now that he had broken through to the Soul Douluo level, his strength must have increased significantly!
Ordinary evil Soul Masters are no match for him!
Xu Lizhi clenched his fists involuntarily, "Although I am a support-class Soul Master and very afraid of dying, I still have a heart set on eradicating evil Soul Masters!"
Yuanen Yehui said coldly, "Teacher Wu, if we fall in battle against the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, it just means our own strength wasn't enough!"
Wu Changkong's face took on a complex expression as he swept his gaze over everyone and nodded, "Good, since you've all made preparations in advance, then follow me tomorrow! Let's rest here today! Wulin, Xie Xie, the two of you, stay behind for a moment."
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged glances, nodded simultaneously, and chose to sit on the sofa...
And the others tactfully left as well...
After they all disappeared, Wu Changkong's face softened a bit as he spoke to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, "Wulin, Xie Xie, it's been quite a while since we last met, hasn't it?"
Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, "Yes! It's been almost three years since Teacher Xu went into seclusion!"
Xie Xie chuckled, "Teacher Wu, Wulin is now a level-7 blacksmith, he even forged our Battle Armor!"
Amazement appeared on Wu Changkong's face, "A level-7 blacksmith? That's a frightening talent indeed!"
Thinking back to when he once suggested Tang Wulin give up the profession of Forging Master, he couldn't help feeling somewhat melancholy.
Tang Wulin's gaze was steadfast as he spoke to Wu Changkong, "Right, Teacher Wu, you mentioned that we might encounter evil Soul Masters within the Icefire Polarized Eyes, is that true?"
Wu Changkong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Yes! What's more, among this group of evil Soul Masters, there could very well be Title Douluo level powerhouses!"
Xie Xie inhaled sharply, "Title… Title Douluo?"
These were not on the same level as the evil Soul Masters they had encountered before!
Such beings could easily annihilate them with the flick of a hand!
Now he only had one question, was it possible to back out of this mission?
Tang Wulin's expression naturally turned ugly as he began to weigh the situation...
That was a Title Douluo, not an ordinary evil Soul Master, even a Hyper Douluo would avoid confrontation!
Seeing the traces of fear appearing on their faces, Wu Changkong spoke indifferently, "What's the matter? Scared? It's not too late to back out now, otherwise once we enter Sunset Forest, there will be no chance to do so!"
Truth be told, not just Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, but even he himself was not confident!
Even as a Soul Douluo, he could contend with an Ordinary Titled Douluo, but given the cunning nature of evil Soul Masters, a momentary lapse could lead to death!
Tang Wulin gave a wry smile, "Teacher Wu, it would be false to say we aren't scared, we are talking about Title Douluo after all!"
"However, even so, we won't give up, right, everyone??"
Hearing this, the others nodded their heads in sync...
With so many people together, there really was no need to fear anything!
