Chapter 1390: The Demon Emperor's True Plan (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Ming City, within an academy, Gu Yue and the others were gathering, exchanging glances...

Xie Xie's mouth twitched a few times before he was the first to speak up, "No way, are you saying everyone has set their sights on this academy?"

Gu Yue nodded her head and said with a touch of frustration, "Yeah, I've already searched many academies in Ming City, but not a single one had a suitable opponent! Only this academy is left!"

Ye Xinglan bit her thin lips, "So you're saying, we won't be able to complete the final exam?"

All she wanted was to quickly get this over with and then focus on cultivating!

Xu Xiaoyan said anxiously, "What do we do now then? Should we pair up as each other's opponents? But that wouldn't meet the academy's requirements either!"

Gu Yue shook her head, "I don't know, but think about it, could this also be a test from the academy? After all, the teachers haven't appeared to give us an explanation."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's eyes lit up as if a new world had been unveiled!

Right, if the academy had released this final exam requirement, they must have already scouted out Ming City in advance!

Perhaps, this is part of the final exam!

However, it was evident that this was merely their speculation. Shrek Academy's focus was on dealing with evil Soul Masters, so they had not conducted a detailed investigation in Ming City, which led to the current situation...

Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, several teachers who were quietly observing everything wiped their foreheads and spoke up, "It seems like this... really was an oversight on the part of the academy, should we maybe..."

"Cough cough cough, since the students all think it's part of the exam, let's not embarrass ourselves... After all, who knows if Academy President Cai had this in mind!"

"Yes, they are all Shrek Academy students, they will surely be able to solve these minor difficulties!"

Although they said so, the teachers' cheeks betrayed a hint of guilt...

Especially with that last nod, as if they were comforting their own hearts...

Just then, a teacher from the academy stepped forward, expressing an apology, "I'm sorry, all of our students have already left, and those who remain do not meet your requirements, so please try other academies!"

Every academy was generally well-aware of Shrek Academy's final exam, so they wouldn't normally refuse the Shrek Outer Court disciples who came to complete their final exams!

But regrettably, they were all too late!

The academy at that moment was practically empty, with just a few remaining whose soul power ranks were below Soul Elder!

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Um, sorry to have disturbed you."

Then, turning to Xie Xie and the others, she said, "Let's go, we'll think of another solution somewhere else!"

The group nodded in agreement and quickly left...

The teacher sighed, waved his hand and said, "Take care on your way!"

...

After Luo Guixing and his group walked out from another academy, Luo Guixing spoke with a dark expression, "Damn, is the academy doing this on purpose? We can't find any opponents who meet the requirements at all!"

Yang Nianxia nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm afraid it's the same for the other students too!"

Zheng Yiran said impatiently, "What do we do now then? Look for opponents on the street? We'd probably be taken for fools!"

Xu Yucheng's gaze turned to Wu Dousi, who had been silent all along, hopeful as he said, "Wu Dousi, do you have any ideas?"

Wu Dousi glanced at them indifferently and said blandly, "I have already completed my final exam task."

But merely completing the final exam task couldn't spark the slightest interest in her, so she intended to seek out stronger opponents for a challenge!

Upon hearing this, Xu Yucheng and the others were dumbfounded...

Who would have thought that Wu Dousi had already completed the final exam? At first, everyone thought she came here for the same reasons as them!

Seeing their surprise, Wu Dousi calmly said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. You guys can take your time finding your opponents."

With that, she completely disregarded the camaraderie among them and walked away without a second look...

A teacher observing secretly didn't stint his praise, "This Wu Dousi is truly worthy of being Academy President Cai's disciple, able to defeat three Soul Kings while only at the Soul Ancestor rank. It's probably only a matter of time before she enters Shrek Academy!"

Another teacher agreed, "Yes, her evaluation should be marked as excellent! That way it would do justice to her achievement of defeating three Soul Kings!"

"Let's do that; even Yuanen Yehui couldn't manage this at the beginning!"

After speaking, they marked Wu Dousi's evaluation as excellent and recorded the reasons for it...

...

Holy Spirit Cult!

The Demon Emperor, as beautiful and delicate as a lotus emerging from water, glanced at the man beside her and casually remarked, "Have those students from Shrek Academy been taken care of in secret?"

The man at her side was none other than the Ghost Emperor!

His expression darkened in an instant, suggesting he wanted to say something but found himself unable to speak...

Sensing something was amiss, the Demon Emperor arched an eyebrow and said, "Hmm? You look rather gloomy..."

The Ghost Emperor's body trembled, and he mustered his courage to say, "Demon Emperor, our plan has failed."

The Demon Emperor's gaze grew colder, "What's the detailed situation?"

Taking a deep breath, the Ghost Emperor began, "It seems Shrek Academy anticipated that we would target their students. Before these students set off for Ming City, Elders from the Sea God's Pavilion were dispatched to clean up the evil Soul Masters lying in ambush!"

After a pause, he continued, "Therefore, Demon Emperor, I suspect... that within our Holy Spirit Cult, there are spies from Shrek Academy!"

The woman stretched languidly, speaking with a light tone, "Spies from Shrek Academy? I've known about that since the very beginning!"

The Ghost Emperor was taken aback, confused, "But why have you...?"

The woman didn't answer his question and instead asked with a smile, "Do you think the reason I had you do this was to kill the students of Shrek Academy?"

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and "Vice Sect Hierarch" Hades stepped in...

He bowed slightly, respectfully saying, "Demon Emperor, Sect Hierarch!"

The Ghost Emperor frowned, "Hades, what are you doing coming in..."

Before he could finish, the woman raised her hand to stop him and said softly, "I had him come in. Hades, how did things go?"

Hades nodded his head earnestly and reported, "Demon Emperor, as you predicted, the teachers of Shrek Academy and the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion have focused their attention on the evil Soul Masters we stationed in Ming City."

"Thus, during this time, the teams led by the Elders Dark Bell and Dark Blood Devil have successfully killed most of the Shrek Academy Inner Court students on patrol!"

At these words, the Ghost Emperor's eyes widened, incredulous, "What! They killed most of the Shrek Academy Inner Court students??"

Could it be that the Demon Emperor's plan, from the start, was not actually aimed at those Outer Court disciples?

In this moment, he realized he had underestimated the Demon Emperor!
