After hearing his suggestion, all the teachers including the dean had their eyes widened in shock…

"What? You actually want us to collude with those evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult! This is utterly outrageous!" exclaimed one in disbelief.

Although Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy had its differences with Shrek Academy, they… had never before considered the option of joining forces with evil Soul Masters!

After all, if they truly did that, there would be no foothold left for Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy on the Continent; they would become vermin that everyone would want to eliminate!

Hearing this, the teacher shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dean, if we don't do this, then we must kill Teacher Liu and the others. I'm just putting forth a suggestion!"

He then signaled with his eyes to Teacher Liu and the other two teachers beside him…

They instantly understood the implication of his words and knelt to the ground, begging, "Dean, we have dedicated so much effort to the academy, even if there's no merit, there's also hard work!"

"Yes, Dean, even if we were executed, could that really quell the wrath of Shrek Academy?"

"Shrek Academy has definitely disliked Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy for some time now. Who knows if they would pull some trickery behind our backs? Rather than that, wouldn't it be better to fight till the bitter end!"

After hearing all this, the Dean interjected, "Enough! This must not be mentioned outside. I will think of another solution, to see if Shrek Academy's understanding can be obtained!"

Even though he knew it was unlikely, he had to try!

After all, these teachers were the pillars of Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy; their loss would be a tremendous blow to the entire academy!

Relief washed over Teacher Liu and the other two teachers upon hearing this…

They knew that they had just barely managed to save their own lives!

As for joining hands with the Holy Spirit Cult? Joking aside, could anything be more important than one's own life?

…

Not far from the legion!

In view were five figures clad in gray-black robes, their faces icy as they watched intently the scene before them…

It was the entourage of the Ghost Emperor!

The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this where the legion is located? I can indeed sense several powerful auras!"

Moreover, the most prominent among those was definitely not weaker than himself!

Nanali also nodded, "Mhm, not only that, but there isn't a single evil Soul Master around. Most likely, they've perished!"

Hades remarked cautiously, "We should still be careful. This legion is probably not so simple!"

The Dark Blood Devil, noticing the Soul Masters nearby, was filled with a thick killing intention. He licked his lips and said ominously, "Vice Sect Hierarch, perhaps you worry too much. Could a mere legion really stand against us?"

"Exactly! If even we cannot take this place down, then the strength of this legion must at least be first-class!"

The Ghost Emperor glanced at them coldly and said in a chilling voice, "Enough talking! Let's get moving."

The others, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement…

The next moment, the five burst forth with astonishing speed, heading in different directions…

To prevent the Soul Masters of the legion from escaping, their first priority was to set up a sufficiently large barrier!

Once in position, the Ghost Emperor took a deep breath as his sixth soul ring lit up beneath him…

Sixth Soul Skill, Ghostly Wail Netherworld!

Instantly, a barrier of terrifying power surged from behind him, growing exponentially under the enhancement of Soul Power, and in the blink of an eye, it had already enveloped half of the legion…

"After this incident, the Spirit Pagoda shouldn't cause any more significant troubles!"

"In this way, at least to some extent, we've cut off the supply for the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Without the use of Artificial Soul Rings, even evil Soul Masters cannot successfully break through their limits, greatly restricting their development speed!"

Immediately, with a grave expression, he stared at the dozen or so War Gods before him and said, "Shrek Academy has sent quite a few Tang Sect disciples to search for the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult, but up till now, there hasn't been a single clue! This is very abnormal."

Guan Yue seemed to see through his thoughts, "Hall Master, are you suspecting that the real location of the Holy Spirit Cult is not within the federation?"

Chen Xinjie looked at him appreciatively, "Exactly!"

As these words were spoken, one of the War Gods couldn't help but frown, "If it's really not within the federation, finding the Holy Spirit Cult will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

On this Continent, there are more than just the federation!

Another War God also said through clenched teeth, "Indeed, if we don't clarify the location of the Holy Spirit Cult sooner, all the major forces, including us, might be bombed by those Level Twelve Soul Guidance Shells!"

"The longer we drag this out, the more disadvantageous it becomes. Hall Master, it seems our War God Hall can no longer stand idly by!"

Zhang Xinjie took a deep breath, "Convening everyone today is for this very purpose!"

No one is unacquainted with the principle that when lips die, teeth will feel cold.

Guan Yue, deep in thought, propped up his chin and suggested, "If that's the case, then why don't we have every War God lead their respective legion to search the areas near the border? Hall Master, what do you think?"

This way, we could not only maintain stability in the surrounding areas but also take the opportunity to scout out the bases of the Holy Spirit Cult!

Chen Xinjie did not agree on his own but asked the dozen or so War Gods present, "What do you all think?"

No sooner had he spoken than a War God stated, "I have no objections! Getting rid of the Holy Spirit Cult will also set my mind at ease!"

"I also have no objections. If we just keep relying on Shrek Academy to conduct the search, who knows how long we'll be waiting!"

"Correct! Dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult is everybody's business on the Continent! Moreover, our War God Hall is a first-rate force!"

"Hall Master, give the order, we, as the War Gods tasked with guarding the federation, have an inescapable responsibility!"

Chen Xinjie nodded in satisfaction, his tone filled with fervor, "Very well! From today onwards, as the Vice Hall Master suggested, each War God will lead their legion to conduct a carpet search towards the border areas!"

"As for the safety of War God Hall, the Vice Hall Master and I will undertake the defense, so you don't need to worry!"

The War Gods stood tall and proud, "Yes, Hall Master!"

Moreover, there were even some disciples who believed that all of this was Shrek Academy's fault!

If it hadn't been for this assistance, how could Tang Sect possibly have suffered such an undeserved disaster!

Cai Yue'er took a deep breath, "If we don't rapidly find the location of the Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek Academy could very well end up in the same predicament as Tang Sect!"

"By then, without anyone to suppress the Holy Spirit Cult, it could continue to expand until it eventually begins to rule over the entire federation!"

"For this reason, we must make some preparations to ensure that the Holy Spirit Cult does not become an influence!!"

Hearing this, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement...
