Chapter 173 The Second Plan_1

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's urgent call, Titan's gaze shifted back from the distance, landing on Yan Shaozhe.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

The voice of Titan was icy cold, with a hint of domineering power.

"No, that's not it."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head awkwardly, "I just think that their escape will be a big trouble. After all, they are organized, disciplined, and strong. If they manage to escape this time, they will definitely launch an even stronger attack when they return."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe's heart filled with concern.

In the past, they had not taken evil Soul Masters seriously, but now that the evil Soul Masters had become a force to be reckoned with, even the current Shrek Academy was simply no match for them.

"We had an agreement that our Hao Tian Clan would only assist Shrek Academy in defending Shrek City, we said nothing about dealing with enemies outside Shrek Academy."

"Besides, they are merely a bunch of defeated underlings. Even if they return, so what? Do you think I would fear them?"

Titan expressed an almost 'if not me, then who' attitude, "As long as they dare to come back, I will be able to repel them again. Moreover, I dare say, if they dare to come again, I will make them pay a heavy price."

"This…"

Yan Shaozhe was so rebutted by Titan that he was left speechless.

The situation is more powerful than people; at this juncture, what else could he say?

There's nothing left to say.

"Alright then, thank you, Second Sect Master, and thank you to the powerful ones of Hao Tian Clan."

He clasped his fists in gratitude.

Titan nodded indifferently, "No problem, taking people's money to dispel their disasters. You'll have to handle the rest on your own."

After taking a glance at the messy Shrek City, Titan turned and flew towards Shrek Academy.

Behind him followed the strong ones of Hao Tian Clan.

"Sigh."

"When will our Shrek Academy be able to stand tall again?"

After Titan and the others disappeared from sight, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help sighing deeply.

He felt so helpless.

And so powerless.

The once Shrek Academy was known as the number one power on Soul Land, but now...

Its status, its power, had both plummeted drastically.

"Who knows how long it will take to return to the peak."

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Dean."

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Just then, two people came up to him, one after the other.

Yan Shaozhe looked up to see Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, who followed her like a servant.

He could even clearly see the envy and jealousy flashing through Qian Duoduo's eyes...

But.

He was used to it.

So, at times like this, it's best to just ignore it.

After all, this top 'sheep in boiling water' wouldn't say anything anyway.

"I'm fine."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head lightly and then asked, "How severe is the damage to our Shrek City?"

"..." Xian Lin'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "About one-tenth of the buildings have been destroyed, and approximately a thousand people have tragically perished..."

"Fortunately, we have many powerful individuals in Shrek Academy, enabling us to put up resistance... preventing too many casualties and deaths."

Yan Shaozhe frowned, feeling perplexed, "A loss of a thousand people, and that's not serious?"

"These damned evil Soul Masters, I will definitely make them pay."

Yan Shaozhe said with crimson eyes.

"Shaozhe, don't be too anxious, some things can't be achieved overnight. Shrek Academy is not yours alone; don't put too much pressure on yourself. Together, we can definitely restore the glory of Shrek Academy." Xian Lin'er said, and before she knew it, she had grasped Yan Shaozhe's hand.

She even lifted it to her chest.

"Lin'er..."

Yan Shaozhe was moved and couldn't help responding with deep emotion.

"Cough, cough."

Qian Duoduo really couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but cough lightly.

It's like I'm freakin' invisible here.

I beg you to act like normal people; I'm not dead yet.

"Qian Duoduo, is your throat uncomfortable? Do you want to go see Elder Zhuang for a check-up?"

Xian Lin'er frowned.

The mood she had been cultivating was instantly ruined by this guy Qian Duoduo.

However.

Despite saying that, she and Yan Shaozhe still let go of each other's hands involuntarily.

"No need."

"I might just be exhausted from the fight earlier; I'll be fine after a bit of adjustment."

As if I, Qian Duoduo, would ever leave.

Wouldn't that just give you two the chance you need?

"I saw Elder Song seemed to be injured earlier; you two should go check on him quickly."

Yan Shaozhe felt that it was extremely awkward for the three of them to be together, so he chose to send the pair off.

"Mother..."

Xian Lin'er's eyes flashed as she looked in the direction of Sea God's Pavilion and flew over in an instant.

As for Fervent Yang Yang...

No.

Qian Duoduo, of course, followed closely behind.

Yan Shaozhe looked down at the devastated Shrek City, and couldn't help but curse, "What are we going to do now, damn it..."

...

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away from Shrek City.

Many Holy Spirit Cult powerhouses had also gathered here.

"Sect Hierarch, you, why did you come back so soon?"

Some people were here ready to give support at any moment.

Although Zhong Liwu seemed quite arrogant, he was also a man of meticulous planning and had made preparations in advance.

What he feared was exactly that Shrek Academy had some tricks up its sleeve to put them in a predicament, and that's where these people would come in handy.

"Don't even mention it, Shrek Academy indeed played us, already having arrangements in place, just waiting for us to take the bait."

Zhong Liwu's expression was grim.

"Sect Hierarch, don't be angry. We didn't come away empty-handed either; at least we made them pay some price. We didn't lose out."

Feng Ling consoled him from the side.

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liwu felt much better.

Suddenly, he remembered something, "Right, Feng Ling, you mentioned earlier that you had a plan, what is it? You can speak up now."

Feng Ling did not hesitate and responded directly, "My previous idea was to disintegrate Shrek from the inside."

"Oh?" Zhong Liwu showed interest.

"Surely the Sect Hierarch hasn't forgotten the identities of the Blue Silver Saintess and Phoenix Saintess?"

Feng Ling chuckled, "Saintess Phoenix Ma Xiaotao is Dean Yan Shaozhe's disciple at Shrek Academy. Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya is the love of Beibei, the descendant of Mu En. Their identities are extraordinary. If we take them as the breakthrough point, we might indeed be able to disintegrate Shrek from the inside."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liwu fell silent for a moment before suddenly laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, it's indeed a good idea."

"But, won't there be any problems with these two persons?"

He expressed some concern.

"There won't be."

Feng Ling assured confidently, "Our failure this time happens to create an opportunity for them to return to Shrek."

"Let them say, it was only because the Holy Spirit Cult's powerhouses left their base that they had the chance to escape..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liwu no longer had any concerns and clapped his hands in laughter, "Very well, very well indeed."
