Chapter 369 Speculation (Please Subscribe) _1

Xu Sanshi's words struck Bei Bei's mind like a heavy hammer...

The latter slowly stretched out his hand, touching the cheek that had just been struck by Xu Sanshi, as clarity began to flicker in his eyes...

Then he slowly stood up, looked at Xu Sanshi with gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Sanshi!"

If he continued to wallow in defeat, he might truly lose Tang Ya, mightn't he?

Xu Sanshi, feeling guilty, said, "Why thank me? It's good that you've recovered!"

If it hadn't been for Bei Bei's words provoking him just now, he wouldn't have hit so hard...

Jiang Nannan gently consoled from the side, "Bei Bei, Tang Ya was just abducted by the Holy Spirit Cult, which means she must still be valuable and should be safe for the time being!"

The Shrek Academy Inner Court students who were looking at Bei Bei and the other two, none of them showed a mocking expression on their faces...

Upon seeing that Bei Bei had been awakened by Xu Sanshi's blow, Elder Xuan silently breathed a sigh of relief...

This was a descendant of Elder Mu; it would be a loss too great to bear if such a setback caused him to lose all will...

Elder Xuan then turned his gaze toward Ma Xiaotao and asked, "Xiao Tao, was the puppet that just used a soul skill one of Qian Yu's?"

Before Ma Xiaotao had a chance to respond, she noticed that her shadow began to tremble violently...

Mia Xiaotao's expression changed as she said, "Qian Yu?"

In an instant, the trembling shadow detached itself and then solidified into a vague figure whose features were unclear...

The Shrek Academy Inner Court students who didn't know what was happening instinctively assumed it was an evil Soul Master! Each of them summoned their Martial Souls...

Everyone stared intently at the blurry figure, exclaiming angrily, "Could this be another trick of the evil Soul Master?"

"Damn it! To dare enter our Inner Court so boldly to spy!"

"Quick, eliminate this intruder!"

Xuan Zi commanded in a cold voice, "Everyone, stop!"

Upon hearing Xuan Zi's icy words, the Inner Court students reluctantly desisted, still seething with anger...

The vague figure gradually morphed into the appearance of Qian Yu...

He covered his mouth coughing, "Cough cough..."

His palm and the corner of his mouth were stained with bright red blood...

The watching Shrek Academy Inner Court students widened their eyes...

"Is that Qian Yu??"

"When he first emerged from the shadow, I almost thought it was an evil Soul Master!"

"But Qian Yu seems to be injured?"

Qian Yu's recent feat of single-handedly annihilating five hundred evil Soul Masters and the extremely bloody scene that followed had been etched into their minds.

It would be difficult to forget even if they tried!

Ma Xiaotao hurried over, her face filled with anxious concern as she asked, "Qian Yu? What happened to you?"

She remembered that Qian Yu's puppet hadn't been injured when it entered her shadow...

But the current situation was inexplicable...

Seeing this, Xuan Zi also asked with a puzzled expression, "Qian Yu, what happened?"

Qian Yu looked up at Xuan Zi with a pale face and replied, "Elder Xuan, my real body must have suffered a fatal wound or fallen into a coma."

"Moreover, in the last message from my real body, I saw Sister Tang Ya!"

Ma Xiaotao and Xuan Zi's expressions changed dramatically, and the latter asked earnestly, "Qian Yu, are you certain you saw Tang Ya?"

Tang Ya had recently been abducted by people from the Holy Spirit Cult, and Qian Yu's puppet claimed to have seen her!

If one thought about what he had said before, wouldn't that mean Qian Yu had also been captured by members of the Holy Spirit Cult!!

With Qian Yu's terrifying talent, if he were to be transformed into an evil Soul Master by the Holy Spirit Cult, it could be considered a catastrophic existence for the Continent!

Qian Yu nodded seriously, "Indeed, it's Sister Tang Ya!"

However, the other inner court students were focused on something else...

From Qian Yu's words, they understood that this body was just a clone...

If a clone could kill five hundred evil Soul Masters, how strong would Qian Yu's true self be?

Bei Bei's eyes lit up with eagerness as he hastily asked, "Qian Yu, did you really see Tang Ya? Where is she now?"

Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi were also staring at Qian Yu in front of them, waiting for his answer...

Qian Yu's puppet shook his head, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Bei Bei, I'm not sure of Sister Tang Ya's exact location, my main body has lost contact with me."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Bei Bei and the others grew dim...

Elder Xuan took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Shrek Academy Inner Court students, stay on guard, Bei Bei, you will come with me to Sea God's Pavilion!"

Bei Bei snapped back to reality and nodded, "Yes, Elder Xuan!"

...

On the experiment table lay a man who had fallen into deep sleep, his eyes covered with a strip of pitch-black fabric...

Next to him stood the Supreme Pontiff, Ye Xishui, and a Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper...

Ye Xishui glanced at the man beside her and asked, "How is the Saint Heir doing?"

The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper respectfully replied, "Supreme Pontiff, I have administered medicinal control to the Saint Heir, and using his Martial Soul, I've evoked the most evil aspect of his heart. It should have been a success!"

His Martial Soul, being the unique Incubus, could stimulate the most evil facets of a Soul Master's heart—the more evil the heart, the easier it was to control them!

Ye Xishui seized the key word in the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper's speech, her beautiful eyes sharpened as she coldly said, "Should have?"

The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper's face became more solemn as he explained, "Supreme Pontiff, during our control of the Saint Heir, an uncontrollable change occurred; six Six-Pointed Colored Shackles appeared behind him, seemingly sealing off his original power."

Ye Xishui's eyes became cold as she questioned, "Six-Pointed Colored Shackles? Why wasn't I informed of this promptly?"

A terrifying pressure directly assaulted the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper, causing a few threads of blood to seep from his mouth...

He bowed and said with difficulty, "Supreme Pontiff, when two of the shackles shattered, I was afraid of problems arising, so..."

Ye Xishui heard his explanation and withdrew her pressure...

The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper started to breathe heavily, his forehead already covered in cold sweat...

"Hu—hu."

Even though he had already broken through level 95, the Supreme Pontiff's power remained terrifying, leaving him without the slightest thought of resistance...

Ye Xishui's speech was full of undeniable command...

"If this kind of thing happens again, notify me immediately, understand?"

The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper hastily replied, "Yes, Supreme Pontiff!"

After another glance at the man lying on the experiment table, Ye Xishui decisively turned and left...

After she left, the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper looked toward Qian Yu with a gaze tinged with venomous resentment...

"Dammit! It's all because of you that I've angered the Supreme Pontiff!"

He grabbed a needle syringe from the nearby table, which was faintly emitting a cold light and contained visible amounts of a pitch-black liquid. With a swift motion, he stabbed it into the man's neck...
