Chapter 1787: It's Just Losing Someone Important (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

And the other Council Members all drew in a sharp breath...

One of the Council Members frowned and said, "Shrek Academy was actually attacked, but I remember that Shrek City has defensive measures in place. Soul cannonballs should not be able to lock onto specific locations!"

Another Council Member coldly said, "Hmph, isn't that simple? Surely, members of the Holy Spirit Cult have infiltrated Shrek City and tampered with those defenses in secret!"

"Just like our Holy Spirit Cult of old, infiltrated by others without our knowledge. However... the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell must be a fake; no force has ever survived the impact of a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell unscathed."

"Indeed, even Tang Sect, at the forefront of soul tool technology, was obliterated under the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell!"

Of course, Gu Yue's expression was even heavier...

She had never imagined that Shrek Academy was currently under attack by soul cannonballs...

This scene naturally did not escape Leng Yaozhu's notice, who commanded, "Gu Yue, I'm leaving this matter to you to investigate carefully what happened at Shrek Academy!"

Who knew that Gu Yue shook her head and declined, "Pagoda Master, I still need to organize some Spirit Pagoda documents later. Please choose another Council Member to go!"

If she returned to Shrek Academy, she probably wouldn't bear to leave her comrades again...

Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment before sighing, "Fine then, I'll go myself! Vice Tower Master, you take charge of the Spirit Pagoda!"

Qiangu Qingfeng naturally had no objections and casually said, "Yes, Pagoda Master!"

...

Inside the Sea God's Pavilion, looking out the window, all the soul cannonballs in the sky had vanished...

Yue Zhengyu impatiently said, "Damn it, why hasn't Academy President Cai let us out yet? I just saw that the bombardment from those soul cannonballs seems to have ended!"

Xu Xiaoyan echoed, "Yeah, Shrek Academy should be safe now."

Tang Wulin reassured, "Everyone, don't rush. Be patient, the Elders might still be dealing with the situation!"

As expected, not long after his words fell, the doors of Sea God's Pavilion started to glow and slowly opened...

A group of people immediately came out and saw Cai Yue'er standing outside, but her complexion was extremely grim...

With an ominous feeling, Tang Wulin cautiously said, "Academy President Cai, you look quite upset. What... has happened just now?"

He had never seen her show such a disheartened expression before...

The others also cast puzzled glances in her direction...

Cai Yue'er swept her gaze across each of them and said with deep grief, "Just before, the Pavilion Master sacrificed himself to ensure Shrek Academy was not destroyed by the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Tang Wulin and the others froze...

Yue Zhengyu swallowed hard and said, "Fake... It must be fake, right? The Pavilion Master, he's so strong, how could he possibly..."

Ye Xinglan said in disbelief, "Academy President Cai, you... you must be joking..."

But upon seeing Cai Yue'er's expression, she immediately realized the other was not joking...

Tang Wulin, in shock, said, "Just yesterday... the Pavilion Master was personally guiding me... and now..."

Xu Xiaoyan angrily said, "Damn that Holy Spirit Cult, using such despicable means to kill the Pavilion Master. They must not be forgiven!!"

Wu Siduo clenched her fists tightly and ground her teeth, "Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, weren't there only three of those in all of Soul Land? How did the Holy Spirit Cult get their hands on one!"

Tang Sect was also destroyed by a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell in the past!

Does this mean the Holy Spirit Cult now treats the federation as their own backyard?

To take such an important item just like that!!

Hearing their words, in Cai Yue'er's eyes swirled endless fury, "Regarding this, the academy will definitely investigate thoroughly!!"

If not for the leak of this Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, one as powerful as Yun Ming would never have been sacrificed like this!!

I... I didn't even get a chance to express my feelings!

…

Meanwhile, on the other side, Elder Ya'li, who was limp on the ground clutching the Sky-Piercing Spear, wept inconsolably, "Yun Ming, why were you so foolish, if only you'd waited a bit longer..."

The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion watching this scene all felt an acute, heartbreaking pain…

Turbid World sighed, "The Pavilion Master's sacrifice has significantly weakened the overall strength of Shrek Academy! The Holy Spirit Cult might launch another attack at any moment!"

Feng Wu Yu pursed his lips, thinking, "Everything the Pavilion Master did was to protect this place behind us that he dearly loved!"

Tang Yinmeng solemnly said, "The Pavilion Master has sacrificed himself, but as Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, we are still here. We must inherit his will and protect this place!!"

Lan Mu Zi nodded in agreement, "Mm!"

Then he continued, "However, with Elder Ya'li having received such a heavy blow today, who knows how long it will take her to recover!"

Bear in mind that Ya'li was Yun Ming's wife, and his sacrifice was a devastating blow to her!

Xu Sheng just silently watched all this, not saying a word…

At that moment, a student responsible for guarding the outer court's gate suddenly burst into the Inner Court and after finding the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, reported, "Elders, the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda seeks an audience! She is currently waiting outside!"

Upon hearing this, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were all taken aback, unsure whether to grant permission or not!

Considering Ya'li and Leng Yaozhu were once romantic rivals, and the former was currently grieving over Yun Ming's sacrifice!

If the two were to meet…

Who knew, Ya'li, still clutching the Sky-Piercing Spear, wiped the tears from her reddened eyes and endeavored to suppress the sorrow in her heart…

"Let the Lord of the Cold Tower come in!"

The student from the outer court bowed slightly, "Yes! Elder Ya'li!"

It wasn't long before Leng Yaozhu stepped into the Inner Court…

Upon seeing all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion present, she smiled, "Elders, long time no see. I just heard about the attack on Shrek Academy by soul cannonballs and came to find out more about the situation!"

Turbid World said with an expressionless face, "Pagoda Master Leng, we did not see anyone from the Spirit Pagoda coming to help when we were attacked by the soul cannonballs!"

Leng Yaozhu, upon hearing this, apologized, "I'm sorry, this was indeed an oversight on my part. At the time, the Spirit Pagoda was also holding a meeting, so we couldn't support you immediately!"

The faces of the elders softened somewhat, even though they knew the attack on Shrek Academy had nothing to do with the Spirit Pagoda!

After a pause, she continued, "However, according to the guards of Shrek City, the attack on Shrek Academy included a Level Twelve Soul Guidance Shell, but that must be just a rumor..."

But before she could finish, she saw Ya'li holding the Sky-Piercing Spear, with tears in her eyes…

Looking puzzled, she asked, "Elder Ya'li, what's the matter…"

Ya'li took a deep breath and gently caressed the Sky-Piercing Spear, "It's nothing, I just lost the most important person I love!!"

She didn't want to show her vulnerability to outsiders, especially not in front of Leng Yaozhu!
