Chapter 2324 The Academy's Defensive Protective Barrier!_1

Dark Bell's beautiful eyes flickered as she pressed, "Then what do you plan to do now, Sect Hierarch? Attack the major powers? I have already assembled the evil Soul Masters in advance and we can act at any time!"

The Ghost Emperor naturally couldn't just take the former's words at face value and questioned with suspicion, "Nanali, what is your purpose in doing this?"

Without changing her expression, Dark Bell replied, "Sect Hierarch, I have no ulterior motives, I am simply acting on my own interests!"

The Ghost Emperor revealed a cold smile, "Is that so? Since you've assembled the team of evil Soul Masters, you'll lead them to eradicate Shrek Academy!!"

Currently, the biggest obstacle to the Holy Spirit Cult was still Shrek Academy!

If it were destroyed, the impact on the Soul Masters of the entire Soul Land would be tremendous!

Dark Bell's brow furrowed slightly, "Sect Hierarch, this... isn't this inappropriate?"

The Ghost Emperor said indifferently, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. The people from the Sea God's Pavilion have all gone to the abyss, and now the entire academy is definitely undefended and won't be able to withstand an attack."

Dark Bell fell silent, momentarily uncertain of how to refute, "..."

The Ghost Emperor seemed to see through her thoughts, "What's the matter? You're unwilling? Or is there something... you're hiding from me!"

Dark Bell took a deep breath, "Of course not, it's just that the Demon Emperor... "

The Ghost Emperor said coldly, "The Demon Emperor? I will personally return to the Xingluo Empire, you don't need to worry about that!"

Dark Bell slightly lowered her head, thinking to herself, "As expected, the Ghost Emperor is still very wary of me..."

But so be it, I indeed hold no affection for Shrek Academy...

Subsequently, with a gesture, she vanished from the Ghost Emperor's sight...

Only then did the Ghost Emperor remove his mask, emitting a sinister chuckle...

Just listening to it would send chills down one's spine...

...

At the same time, at the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters!

Halosa looked at the Demon Emperor before him, respectfully saying, "Demon Emperor, Dark Bell has sent a message, the Sect Hierarch didn't follow your plan and instead sent her to lead the evil Soul Masters to destroy Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor calmly "Hmm"...

Halosa pursed his lips, "Demon Emperor, you don't seem surprised?"

He knew very well that Dark Bell's true purpose was to kill the Ghost Emperor while he was gravely injured!

But it seems the plan had failed!

The Demon Emperor looked at him deeply, "There's nothing surprising, no one knows better than I do what the Ghost Emperor wants to do now!"

Questions arose in Halosa's eyes, but he said no more...

Even he couldn't fathom the Ghost Emperor's thoughts, yet the Demon Emperor dared make such a statement!

The Demon Emperor paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Ming Emperor, inform all the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult to launch a widescale terror attack on the Xingluo Empire!!"

The former exclaimed in shock, "What? Demon Emperor, what is the meaning of doing this... ?"

However, he was met with a cold and unequivocal response...

"Just do as I say!!"

The more chaotic the Human Plane, the better to draw out that person!!

Harboring dissatisfaction, Halosa still masked it well, "Yes, Demon Emperor!"

With that said, he disappeared like a wraith...

Only after he could no longer sense the presence of the former did the Demon Emperor speak in a cold voice, "Ming Emperor, do you really think I don't know that it was you who saved the Ghost Emperor?"

But it doesn't matter, everything is under my control!!

...

Shrek Academy!

The junior students, who learned that not a single Elder from the Sea God's Pavilion was safeguarding the academy, each felt a sense of panic...

"With no Elders from the Sea God's Pavilion around, what should we do if we are attacked by Evil Soul Masters?"

"Yeah, once they launch an attack, we junior students would be utterly helpless, like fish on a cutting board, at the mercy of others!"

"Don't be so pessimistic, everyone. Now that abyssal creatures are invading the Human Plane, even Evil Soul Masters are human and wouldn't commit such acts!"

"If it were as you say, that'd be great, but Evil Soul Masters are all lunatics, and moreover, they cannot be absolved from responsibility for the breach of the seal by abyssal creatures!"

Seeing this, an external academy teacher immediately went over and reprimanded, "What are you students gossiping about here? The safety of the academy is not your concern!!"

"Now, all of you get back to the teaching buildings immediately. If I see anyone still lingering here, you'll run a hundred laps around the sports field without using your Soul Power!!"

Not being able to use Soul Power to run laps seemed to have a significant deterrent effect on the junior students, who then surged into the teaching buildings like a tide...

Witnessing this scene, she said angrily, "Are these kids too idle, worrying about the academy being attacked by Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters?"

At this moment, the woman who was walking by said softly, "Teacher Lin, it's normal for the students to be concerned about the safety of the academy, especially since the Holy Spirit Cult doesn't dare to easily invade Shrek Academy, mainly because of the presence of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

"Now that there is not a single Elder to defend it, it is natural to feel panic!"

Hearing her words, the teacher respectfully said, "Dean Shen!"

Although she was roughly the same age, she was a teacher at the academy, while the other had already taken on the position of Dean of the external branch!

Then, she added, "Dean Shen, by saying this, do you also think that Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters will take this opportunity to launch an attack on Shrek Academy?"

Shen Yi did not express any opinion but instead said earnestly, "Whether the Holy Spirit Cult plans to attack the academy or not, we must be prepared!"

"As academy teachers, we are responsible not just for our own lives, but also for the safety of the children!"

The teacher was taken aback for a moment, then guiltily said, "Dean Shen, you are right!"

Indeed, if they could not provide a sufficiently safe learning environment for the children, it would be a dereliction of duty on their part as teachers!

Shen Yi nodded slightly and then instructed, "Please gather all the teachers who are not currently in class, and have them meet at the center of the external campus square!"

The former, surprised, said, "Dean Shen, are you planning to..."

"Yes."

...

Before long, all the academy teachers had arrived at the center of the square, looking puzzled at Shen Yi...

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yi began, "As you all are aware, all the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion have gone to the front lines to combat the abyssal creatures, leaving only us teachers to protect our students!"

"Therefore, to ensure the safety of the students and teachers, I intend to activate Shrek Academy's Protective Barrier. Does anyone object?"

The teachers were somewhat surprised but exchanged glances and nodded in agreement...

Shen Yi scanned over them and continued, "Good, it seems no one objects."

With that said, she walked up to a stele at the center of the square, reaching out to touch its engraved patterns...

The next second, the entire academy emitted a grating sound of mechanisms at work, and a massive Protective Barrier materialized out of thin air, enveloping the entire academy...
