Chapter 1797: Shen Yi Emerges from Seclusion (Please Subscribe)_1

War God Hall!

Yueguan looked at Chen Xinjie in front of him and said, "Hall Master, we have already located several high-level federation officials who have been secretly colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, and we have arrested them!"

Chen Xinjie's gaze condensed into a thoughtful look, and he asked, "Have any of them confessed the conditions of their collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Guan Yue shook his head and said with a hint of anger, "No, it seems like they are aware that we have no evidence, so they refuse to admit any collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult!"

After all, once they admitted it, the War God Hall could execute them all without facing any sanctions from the federation!

However, if they didn't admit it, due to lack of evidence, the War God Hall could only detain them and not dare to make any further move!

Chen Xinjie snorted coldly, "Hmph! These guys really are tough, thinking they can cover up their misdeeds by remaining silent!"

Seeing this, Guan Yue said again, "Hall Master, what should we do next? Even if we root out all the high-level federation officials colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, we still might not be able to convict them!"

Chen Xinjie's expression darkened, "No rush... Those colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely slip up! Finding evidence is just a matter of time!"

Guan Yue nodded in understanding, and then, as if he thought of something...

"Right, Hall Master, something very strange happened. I have visited Shrek Academy numerous times, but I have never seen the Sea God Pavilion Master from beginning to end!"

Chen Xinjie was somewhat surprised, "Oh? Perhaps Yun Ming simply did not wish to meet with you!"

Several months had passed since Shrek Academy was attacked, and Guan Yue still brought up this matter on his own initiative!

Guan Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "No... In the past when I visited Shrek Academy, Yun Ming was always present!"

After a pause, he voiced his suspicion, "Therefore, I suspect that the Sea God Pavilion Master has perished defending against the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, just like the former Tang Sect Master!"

Chen Xinjie furrowed his brows slightly, "Impossible. Although the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell is terrifying, Yun Ming's strength is even stronger than mine, and he had every chance to escape!"

Guan Yue pursed his lips, "But, Hall Master, have you considered this: if Yun Ming were to flee, then all of Shrek City would become ruins..."

Chen Xinjie fell silent...

In his heart, he knew there was a high likelihood in what Guan Yue said!

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he hadn't seen Yun Ming at all during his multiple visits to Shrek Academy!

After a long while, he reminded, "Guan Yue, keep this matter to yourself for now. If Yun Ming has really perished, and the Sea God's Pavilion has not issued any notifications, then they're likely concealing it on purpose!"

"Once exposed, it might cause quite a panic!"

Guan Yue naturally understood this reasoning, "Hall Master, I understand!"

Having said that, he quickly left!

In contrast, Chen Xinjie raised his eyes towards the sky and thought to himself, "Yun Ming, if you truly perished under a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, that would be a real pity..."

He knew that the other party had already obtained godhood, but for some reason, had not ascended to the Divine Realm!

Now if he were dead, it would all be for naught!

...

Inner Court!

Tang Wulin found Teacher Xu and looked at him with hopeful eyes, "Teacher Xu! For this mission to investigate the Icefire Polarized Eyes, could you accompany us?"

After all, Academy President Cai did not say that elders couldn't join them this time!

Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "Sorry, Wulin, I have other matters to attend to after a while. However, President Cai anticipated this and has already sent Teacher Wu ahead!"

Tang Wulin was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Teacher Wu?"

If the former hadn't mentioned it, he would have nearly forgotten there was such a person!

Although it sounded a bit excessive, it was the truth!

Since Wu Changkong had returned to Shrek Academy, he had been like a dragon seen in glimpses but never fully revealed, resulting in a lack of presence in the hearts of the students!

Xu Sheng confirmed firmly, "Yes, Teacher Wu has now successfully made a breakthrough to the Soul Douluo level, he should have enough strength to protect you all!"

Tang Wulin pondered thoughtfully, "I see..."

Having a Soul Douluo level powerhouse as backup made this journey somewhat secure!

Of course, he himself still hoped that Xu Sheng could accompany them, since even the Dark Hummingbird, one of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings, had been slain by Xu Sheng with a single move!

Xu Sheng seemed to recall something and casually reminded, "Little Wulin, if you have time, you can visit Demon Island!"

Looking at the time, those Old Demons should be disappearing before long, but after all, they had taught Tang Wulin and his group!

Although somewhat puzzled, Tang Wulin instinctively answered, "I understand, Teacher Xu, I'll go visit when I get the chance!"

After Tang Wulin left, Xu Sheng's shoulder was suddenly patted, followed by an ethereal voice, "Xu Sheng!"

Xu Sheng turned his gaze and was shocked to find the newcomer was the woman with long white hair and a delicate face, "Shen Yi? Have you ended your retreat?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi replied with a touch of sorrow, "Yes, thanks to you rejecting me at the Sea God's Pavilion matchmaking event, I devoted myself entirely to cultivation! My soul power rank has already reached the Eighty-Fifth Rank Soul Douluo!"

After such a long retreat, she had thoroughly come to a realization!

If she couldn't advance further with Xu Sheng to become a lifelong partner, then she would continue to interact as friends as before!

Xu Sheng responded with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Shen Yi, it wasn't my intention to do so; I merely wanted to clarify that matter!"

Since coming to the Lower Realm, the only thing he felt guilty about was Shen Yi!

Shen Yi gave a slight smile, "It's okay, perhaps I was a bit obstinate at the time, but I have come to terms with it now!"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "It's good that you've come to terms with it, but about the Pavilion Master's matter..."

The color drained from Shen Yi's face, "Teacher already told me!"

In her retreat, it was only a few days ago that she learned about what had happened at Shrek Academy during this period!

Then she shook her head, casting aside the sorrowful mood, "Let's not talk about these sad things today. I believe if the Pavilion Master were still here, he would think the same!"

Even Elder Ya'li, the wife of Yun Ming, had started to recover from her grief!

What reason did they have not to accept it?

Xu Sheng didn't dwell on this topic, "Alright, what are you planning to do next?"

Shen Yi's beautiful eyes lit up, "Naturally, to return to my duty, to resume my position as a teacher at Shrek Academy! Without me, Academy President Cai must be under a lot of pressure, right?"

After all, the moment there was trouble, the latter would push the work onto her!

However, she still found enjoyment in this!
