The dean of the academy sensed something was wrong and immediately left the resting room, reaching out to grab a fleeing student and asked, "What's happening, why all the noise?"
The student hurriedly replied, "Dean, it's evil Soul Masters! There are hundreds of them!"
The former exclaimed in shock, "What??"
The next second, he forced himself to calm down and said, "You must immediately notify all teachers, have them organize the students and escape."
The student shook his head fearfully and said, "We can't, Dean, our escape routes have been completely sealed off; there's no way to get away!"
The dean clenched his fists, his expression ugly as he said, "Damn it!! Are these Holy Spirit Cult members planning to wipe us out in a single swoop?"
"Even if we cannot hold out, we must tear a piece of flesh from their bodies!"
With that thought, he again said, "Go and tell the students to head towards the interior of the academy, I'm going to summon the other teachers. Now, only by fighting to the death, do we have a glimmer of hope."
Although frightened, the student still mustered the courage to say, "Yes, Dean!!"
...
A student, frantically fleeing, suddenly heard a "puff" sound beside his ear, followed by a sharp pain in his neck, and his vision began to blur downward...
Before consciousness slipped away, he only saw a blood-stained black sickle...
The evil Soul Master clutching it stepped on his head and said in a tone tinged with madness, "This feels so great, these students are like sheep for us to slaughter at will!"
The other evil Soul Masters looked at the fleeing students with the eyes of predators, "Having endured for so long, we can finally have our fill of fun!"
"This academy really is worthless; the students only know how to run away, they can't even struggle before dying, no wonder they hold no standing in Soul Land!"
"Tsk, what does it matter if they resist? They will never be our match; after all, we are the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Enough talk, let's finish off the people from this academy quickly, or else, the Sect Hierarch will be furious!"
With those words, many evil Soul Masters started to move in the direction where the students were fleeing...
At the same time, the academy's teachers and students had also gathered together...
The leading dean surveyed them with a heavy gaze, then said, "All the teachers of the academy, surely you have received the message. The Holy Spirit Cult has launched an attack on us, and they have sealed off all escape routes!"
"To survive, we must resist desperately and wait for reinforcements from the War God Hall and other forces!"
As soon as he spoke out, he immediately received the teachers' approval...
"The dean is right. Our academy has several Title Douluo level teachers. As long as we work together, we can hold out!"
"Yes, we'll fight these evil Soul Masters even if it means death!"
"As teachers, if we can't even protect our students, we don't deserve this role!!"
"Why say so much, today if the academy stands, we stand; if the academy falls, we fall!!"
Hearing these words, the students, knowing that fleeing meant certain death, prepared themselves for battle...
In an instant, their morale soared, momentarily forgetting their fear of the evil Soul Masters...
...
War God Hall!
Guan Yue spoke gravely, "Hall Master, we just received a call for help from an academy."
Chen Xinjie narrowed his eyes, "The reason?"
The former answered, "They've been attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult; currently, they're organizing teachers and students to resist. We..."
Before he could finish, Chen Xinjie's eyes filled with intense fury, "Immediately send the War Gods to lead the legions out; this time, we absolutely cannot arrive too late!"
Last time, it was because their support came too slowly that the Body Sect was annihilated!
If they fail to provide timely support again, then what face does War God Hall have left?!
Guan Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, Hall Master, I will give the orders right away!"
Gazing at the retreating figure, Chen Xinjie spoke with an exceedingly weathered tone, "The Holy Spirit Cult has finally made its comeback, Soul Land... I'm afraid it's going to change!!"
The Holy Spirit Cult dares to brazenly attack both the Body Sect and the Academy, which likely means their power has grown to an extremely terrifying extent!
Even if all the major powers joined forces, they might not necessarily be a match for them!
When the time comes, we'll have no choice but to use the Godkilling fixed soul cannonballs!
Even if... it might involve countless people!
…
Spirit Pagoda!
Leng Yaozhu, as the Pagoda Master, naturally received the news right away...
Her expression turned a few degrees colder as she said, "The Holy Spirit Cult's consecutive attacks are clearly intended to incite panic throughout Soul Land, thereby fulfilling some agenda of theirs!"
They might even shake the current major powers!
The surrounding Council Members exchanged glances, obviously reluctant to get involved in this matter!
After all, the only ones who truly loathe the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters to the bone are the federation and Shrek Academy!
They definitely won't stand by and watch!
Leng Yaozhu merely glanced at them and saw through their thoughts...
She spoke indifferently, "Immediately dispatch the nearest Spirit Pagoda branch to provide support, make sure to arrive as fast as possible, we must not let the tragedy that befell the Body Sect be repeated!"
One of the Council Members said with a displeased face, "Pagoda Master, this matter will be resolved by Shrek Academy and the federation, there's no need for us..."
Another Council Member chimed in, "Indeed, if there are casualties, the only ones at a loss will be us, the Spirit Pagoda!"
Leng Yaozhu just stared at the two of them and said word by word, "You surely understand the principle that if one fails, the other will be in jeopardy, right?"
If we only act when the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters launch an attack on the Spirit Pagoda, it will already be too late!!
At this moment, the always silent Gu Yue spoke up, "Pagoda Master, since the Council Members are unwilling, let me take care of this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu cast a satisfied look, "Good, I'll leave this matter entirely in your hands, Gu Yue!"
Besides her, none of the Council Members present could be relied upon!
Perhaps, the Spirit Pagoda needs only one Pagoda Master!
…
Sea God's Pavilion!
Cai Yue'er narrowed her eyes, "Esteemed Elders, just now, the Holy Spirit Cult has attacked another academy, which may well be a sign of a large-scale invasion of Soul Land by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"
"Currently, the Spirit Pagoda and War God Hall have already sent out Soul Masters for reinforcements, and we at Shrek Academy cannot be left behind!"
Wu Changkong was the first to speak, "Elder Cai, I suggest that I lead the Shrek Seven Monsters to the scene!!"
Turbid World couldn't help but remind, "Changkong, those children are the foundation of our Academy, they must not encounter any accidents!"
Wu Changkong still firmly said, "Teacher, I understand their strength very well, there will be no problems!"
Long Yeyue spoke indifferently, "I agree with Changkong's proposition, gaining more experience against evil Soul Masters now wouldn't be a bad thing!"
Tang Yinmeng also smiled, "Yes, I agree as well, the Shrek Seven Monsters are bound to grow, and this can also test their current strength!"
Ya Li pondered and then said, "It's just an attack on one academy, the Holy Spirit Cult most likely hasn't deployed any fighters above the Super Douluo Level, sending the Shrek Seven Monsters to support is indeed a good choice!!"
