Teacher Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a grave face, "Communication failed to get through. I fear they might have encountered a great misfortune!"
"Hmm! It's also possible that they've received some important information that the evil Soul Masters have detected!"
"What should we do then? Should we go look for them?"
"No, if the Holy Spirit Cult is using them as bait to lure us there, we could all be doomed!"
After the tragedy that befell the inner court students, they had all become more cautious!
They couldn't let everyone fall into danger for the sake of a few individuals!
Shen Yi pursed his lips and, holding onto a sliver of hope, asked, "Can we find out where they were last seen?"
No sooner had he spoken than another teacher shook his head, "I've already tried. I can't sense their location, which likely means the tracker has been destroyed!"
Before leaving, they had all set up locators on each other! And if they couldn't pinpoint an exact location, there was only one reason—the communication device had been destroyed!
Anxiety began to show on the other teachers' faces...
Seeing this, Shen Yi stiffly suggested, "Let's all calm down first. We should continue to search a wider area. If we come across an evil Soul Master or the specific location of the Holy Spirit Cult during our search, let's not alert them prematurely!"
"Our main mission is to find the location of the Holy Spirit Cult. The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion will take care of the rest!"
He paused before continuing, "Right, and if you encounter a danger too great to handle, be sure to send out the information you discover!"
...
Meanwhile, in front of the main gate of Shrek Academy, a dignified woman, exuding a powerful aura, was striding forward...
The outer courtyard students guarding the main gate immediately noticed her presence and sharply called out, "Halt, who are you?? What are you doing at Shrek Academy?"
"If you don't state your purpose, please leave!"
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression darkened as she said calmly, "I am Leng Yaozhu, the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda. I have urgent matters today; please inform the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion on my behalf!"
A few days ago, she had accidentally discovered that the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangugu Dongfeng, had secretly arranged for many people to surveil her, as if afraid she would discover something!
Feeling more and more that something was amiss, Leng Yaozhu, out of necessity, decided to share her findings with Shrek Academy.
Upon hearing her words, surprise emerged on the faces of the outer courtyard students, and after exchanging glances, they all nodded...
One student deferentially said, "I see. Please wait here; I will go inform the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion immediately!"
Having said that, he turned and walked towards the academy...
The other students kept their eyes fixed on Leng Yaozhu, ready to sound the academy's alarm at any sign of unusual activity.
Leng Yaozhu, for her part, didn't feel the slightest discomfort...
After all, it was only natural for Shrek Academy to be so vigilant against outsiders, especially after suffering such a severe blow not long ago!
After waiting a few minutes, the student who had gone inside returned, followed by Cai Yue'er.
Seeing her, Leng Yaozhu smiled and greeted, "Academy President Cai, it's been a while!"
Cai Yue'er's eyes narrowed slightly, "Sky Phoenix Douluo, no, I should call you the Vice Tower Master now! What is the purpose of your visit to our Shrek Academy?"
"If you are just here to inquire about the Pavilion Master, please turn back."
The affair of Leng Yaozhu's deep affection for Yun Ming was no longer a secret within the Sea God Pavilion!
Leng Yaozhu wasn't the least bit angry and continued with a smile, "President Cai is still as cold as ever. However, my visit this time is not for Yun Ming; it's about the Holy Spirit Cult."
Leng Yaozhu had naturally given up her feelings for Yun Ming, now that he had Ya Li as his wife!
Cai Yue'er raised an eyebrow, her attitude one of skepticism, "Oh?"
"Recently, I encountered some interesting events within the Spirit Pagoda…"
As she spoke, Leng Yaozhu's eyes slightly hardened…
...
Elsewhere, within the grand hall of the Spirit Pagoda…
A few disciples of the Spirit Pagoda were seen slightly bowing toward Qiangugu Dongfeng, their expressions somewhat anxious as they said, "Reporting to the Pagoda Master, the Vice Tower Master… she seems to have left the Spirit Pagoda!"
Sitting in the main seat, Qiangugu Dongfeng's shadowy eyes flickered, "Left the Spirit Pagoda? Where did she go?"
Upon hearing these words, the disciples showed a hesitant look…
Qiangugu Dongfeng intensified his tone and coldly shouted, "Speak!"
This command caused the disciples to break out in a cold sweat and tremble as they said, "Reporting to the Pagoda Master, we do not know where the Vice Tower Master has gone. With her strength, it was effortless for her to evade our surveillance. Please forgive us!"
Qiangugu Dongfeng's whole body suddenly erupted with a terrifying pressure, directly sending the disciples in front of him flying, crashing harshly into the wall…
His face cold as ice, he said, "Utter waste! Get lost!"
Upon his command, these disciples, who dared not show anger or speak out, struggled down from the wall and scurried away…
Only after they had left did Qiangugu Dongfeng clench his fists tightly…
Although he had anticipated this scene, he hadn't expected Leng Yaozhu to grow suspicious so quickly!
Muttering to himself, he said, "Leng Yaozhu, after so many years of friendship, I hope you're not seeking your own death. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to take you down!"
The only reason he had not openly turned against Leng Yaozhu was out of respect for their past camaraderie!
But if anyone dared to obstruct his plans, even the closest person would not be spared!
At that moment, a dense black mist emerged from a corner of the great hall, and a middle-aged man clad in a red robe stepped out!
It was the Dark Blood Devil from the Holy Spirit Cult!
Qiangugu Dongfeng glanced at him, his expression unchanging as he said, "Why have you only arrived now? Have you run into some trouble?"
The Dark Blood Devil sneered, "Nothing significant, just took care of some little bugs!"
Those teachers from Shrek Academy, they really were like blind cats stumbling upon dead rats, having found their Holy Spirit Cult's location. But fortunately, they were killed before they could send back any information!
Qiangugu Dongfeng's expression flickered slightly, but he said nothing…
The Dark Blood Devil paused, speaking with implied depth, "I've heard what you just said. If you want to get rid of that Vice Tower Master, I can lend you a hand!"
Why not take the chance to reduce the Spirit Pagoda's strength?
Qiangugu Dongfeng glared at him coldly, "No need. This is a matter for the Spirit Pagoda, and you'd best not interfere!"
Even if Leng Yaozhu found out the truth, it wouldn't necessarily lead to a fight to the death with him!
Unless absolutely necessary, he did not wish to lay a hand on her!
