Chapter 1358: Yun Ming's Plea (Subscribe Please)_1

Shen Yi, intently watching the scene, was surprised in her heart, "The coordination between Tang Wulin and his companions is so in sync, completely beyond what Wu Dousi's team can compare to."

Not to mention anything else, when Wu Dousi was attacked from both front and back, none of her teammates came to assist her, resulting in a one-for-one situation!

Thinking of this, she held out some hope for Tang Wulin and his companions again...

Perhaps they really could rely on teamwork to defeat Wu Dousi's team, who was overall stronger!

Immediately after, she announced with an indisputable tone, "Wu Dousi has exhausted her Soul Power, Ye Xinglan has sustained serious injuries, the two are considered eliminated. To avoid further impact, they are now quickly to leave the stage!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Dousi coldly "hmpf" and decisively leapt off the stage, crossing her arms and watching coldly...

Whereas Ye Xinglan turned her gaze to Xu Lizhi beside her and said seriously, "Lizhi, don't drag everyone down, make sure to play your role well!"

Xu Lizhi responded anxiously, "Sister Xinglan, but..."

In every confrontation, it was Ye Xinglan who stood in front of him and took command...

But now that she was eliminated, he felt utterly panicked!

Before he could finish, Ye Xinglan interrupted him, "Don't waste words, I believe in you! If we lose the match because of you, don't you dare call me Sister Xinglan anymore!"

With that, she too jumped down from the dueling stage...

In her heart, she thought, "I'm sorry, Lizhi, you're a man, you can't always rely on me!"

Tang Wulin, who was next to Xu Lizhi, patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Lizhi, don't worry, just listen to Gu Yue's directions!"

Looking at the Xu Lizhi before him, he was reminded of his first time arriving in East Sea City, alone and helpless...

Xie Xie nodded earnestly, "Yeah! We'll cover for you, just pay attention to your own situation."

Gu Yue didn't say much, but she also gave him a look of trust...

These words steadied Xu Lizhi's flustered mind, a determined light flashed across his eyes, "Thank... Thank you all, I definitely won't drag you down."

It was not only for the sake of the team but also for Sister Xinglan!

Zheng Yiran said with disgust, "After all that nonsense, you're still going to lose."

Yang Nianxia reminded, "Wu Dousi was eliminated because of her arrogance, everyone be careful to avoid making the same mistake!"

Luo Guixing nodded, "Okay!"

With Wu Dousi's elimination, the atmosphere of their exchange seemed much more relaxed...

Seeing this, Shen Yi once again declared, "Now, the duel will restart."

...

After searching around half the city, Tang Yinmeng and her companions finally stopped...

Elder Ya'li frowned deeply and said solemnly, "I didn't expect so many evil Soul Master strongholds to have been destroyed, the Holy Spirit Cult is getting bolder!"

Moreover, the soul power rank of these evil Soul Masters was exceptionally high!

Tang Yinmeng nodded in agreement, "Yes, evil Soul Masters are usually very scattered, but now, due to the rise of the Holy Spirit Cult, they have started to gather together, which is not a good sign at all!"

After a pause, she added, "However, fortunately, only a very small part of evil Soul Masters can reach above the rank of Hyper Douluo."

Using an Evil Martial Soul, evil Soul Masters' lifespans are more or less shortened, so they generally do not live long!

Otherwise, the entire Continent would have already fallen under the evil Soul Masters' rule!

Xu Sheng smiled slightly and suggested, "Elder Ya'li, Elder Tang, I think there's no sense in continuing to destroy these small hideouts. We should report this matter to the Sea God's Pavilion."

No matter what, these evil Soul Master hideouts could not be completely eradicated.

In just this area, with his Divine Power perception, he sensed thousands of evil Soul Masters hiding...

After some thought, Tang Yinmeng voiced her agreement, "Elder Xu is right, destroying more hideouts is useless, what matters are the top combat forces of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Elder Ya'li made a decisive decision, "Then let's head back to the academy now! Currently, only the Pavilion Master and Elder Cai are holding the fort."

Soon after, a group of people returned to Shrek Academy and entered the Sea God's Pavilion without delay…

When their eyes fell on the expressionless Yun Ming sitting in the main seat, they said in unison, "Pavilion Master!"

The latter responded with a nonchalant "Hmm," yet a sigh of relief escaped him internally…

With Xu Sheng present, the operation to support Tang Yinmeng had indeed gone smoothly without any accidents!

This further strengthened his conviction about Xu Sheng's true identity!

Tang Yinmeng took a deep breath and spoke gravely, "Pavilion Master, this time, Elder Xu, Elder Ya'li, and I have slain one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Dark Hummingbird, and severely injured the Dark Bell. I fear they will not let this go easily!"

The Dark Hummingbird was a level-98 Hyper Douluo, whose high-end battle power was not something those small fries could ever hope to match!

It was very likely to provoke the Holy Spirit Cult's wrath, leading them to seek revenge against Shrek Academy!

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming glanced at her with his deep-set eyes and said heavily, "Hmm, I am already aware. When you left, an evil Soul Master, no weaker than myself, was using spiritual power to spy on Shrek Academy!"

Hearing these words, Tang Yinmeng and Ya'li's pupils shrank suddenly, shocked, "What? An evil Soul Master no weaker than you, Pavilion Master, does that mean…"

They couldn't believe that the Holy Spirit Cult actually possessed an evil Soul Master as powerful as Yun Ming!

If that were the case, Shrek Academy would have no advantage whatsoever in the battle!

Elder Cai, on the other hand, wore a wry smile and said, "What the Pavilion Master said is true. I didn't sense that spiritual power at all."

If it weren't for the Pavilion Master's discovery, she might still think it was just the wind rustling the grass!

Yun Ming took a deep breath and asserted solemnly, "From now on, a moment of negligence could very well lead to the annihilation of Shrek Academy by the Holy Spirit Cult, so unless absolutely necessary, we must try to keep the high-end battle power guarding the academy!"

It was solely because the Holy Spirit Cult was in the shadows while they were exposed!

Tang Yinmeng pursed her lips and said, "Pavilion Master, I understand."

Yun Ming spoke again, "We'll discuss this matter after the other Elders return. You may all leave now; I have something to discuss with Elder Xu."

Upon hearing this, the other three present exchanged glances, looking at Xu Sheng with a peculiar gaze…

One after another, they then left the Sea God's Pavilion…

Once everyone had left, Yun Ming turned to Xu Sheng with a complex expression and said, "Elder Xu, please sit down."

Xu Sheng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took his seat…

Yun Ming then continued, "Elder Tang and Elder Ya'li survived because you, Elder Xu, took action, right?"

Xu Sheng let out a light laugh, "What makes you say that, Pavilion Master?"

Yun Ming likely had a rough understanding of his real identity, only he hadn't spoken of it outright!

Yun Ming first looked out the window, then said with emotion, "I am very familiar with each of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, including their strengths."

Even though Ya'li was an Ultimate Douluo, she indeed fell short in combat!

It was improbable for her and Tang Yinmeng to defeat the evil Soul Master sent by the Holy Spirit Cult to attack them!

Therefore, the only possibility left was that Xu Sheng had intervened!

Xu Sheng did not deny or confirm this…

Seeing that Xu Sheng remained silent, Yun Ming pleaded again, "Actually, I don't care about your real identity, Elder Xu, and I can tell that you genuinely care for the students of Shrek Academy!"

"It's just that… I hope you can promise me a request, no matter… any price."

With that, his gaze locked firmly onto Xu Sheng…
