Tang Wulin suddenly slapped the table, his gaze fixed intently on the others. "Does everyone really think so?"

"Is it that Gu Yue doesn't care about me, or is she just too embarrassed?"

Xu Xiaoyan felt somewhat guilty, but still gave a thumbs up, "Of… of course, you and Gu Yue are husband and wife, how could she completely cut ties with you over a trivial matter?"

"Zheng Yu and I sometimes do this as well."

Of course not. If she truly missed Wulin, how could she not have sent someone to pass on a message for so long?

When she finally did send a message, it was related to that ruin!

Seeming to find some comfort, Tang Wulin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Xiaoyan, thank you for what you said; I feel a bit better now."

Although he knew these words were half-true, half-false, they were comforting to hear...

The corners of Cai Yue'er's mouth twitched, apparently feeling it necessary to steer the conversation back...

"Wulin, what do you think about this matter? Of course, I'm referring to the Spirit Pagoda's willingness to dispatch sci-tech personnel for support!"

Tang Wulin also made his stance clear immediately. "Ah… Oh, Gu Yue must also want to rescue Teacher Xu, so she's willing to help, I guess!"

"However, whether to accept or reject, it's probably up to the federation to decide!"

Apart from himself, Xie Xie and Gu Yue were probably the ones who had the deepest feelings for Teacher Xu!

It was within reason for them to offer help!

After all, everyone knew one thing: if Teacher Xu could return, then the evil Soul Masters would stand no chance at all!

Even potential to alleviate the conflict between the Federation and Spirit Pagoda!

Lan Muzi stroked his chin. "Actually, I personally lean more towards cooperation between the Federation and Spirit Pagoda, with the scientific research strength of these two forces, it should be much better than working alone!"

Tang Yinmeng snorted at his side. "Hey, hey, Mu Zi, who doesn't know that? It's just that on the surface, the Federation and Spirit Pagoda seem harmonious, but behind the scenes, they are at odds with one another!"

"Just like how it was discussed before to wage war against the evil Soul Masters from Douling Empire, yet up till now, not a single piece of news has come through!"

Lan Muzi immediately showed an awkward expression. "I was just stating my own opinion."

Ya Li shrugged her shoulders, explaining, "Actually, there is no need to worry about this point. Since Spirit Pagoda has already informed us, they will surely communicate with the Federation as well. We just need to wait for their response!"

After all, today's Shrek Academy is not like the past, it lags behind in terms of sci-tech.

Tang Wulin acknowledged, "Elder Ya'li makes sense. For the time being, we'll just wait and see what the Federation thinks."

...…

The Federation!

"Hall Master, I have something to report, there's news from the Spirit Pagoda,"

"The Spirit Pagoda?? What's Gu Yuena up to this time?"

Ya Li's gaze turned to Yun Ming who was seated in the primary position, questioning, "Pavilion Master, what do you think? If we let these evil Soul Masters stay in the academy like cavities, they will always be a major hidden danger!"

Yun Ming's profound eyes flickered for a moment. "Since all the Elders have expressed their opinions…"

After pausing, a few traces of fierceness appeared in his eyes as he spoke again, "Then root out all the evil Soul Masters within the academy!"

Evil Soul Masters may be able to hide their Martial Souls and appearances, but when it comes to the Soul Power within their bodies, they can't ensure it's completely concealed!

```

As long as the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion individually investigated, it wouldn't be difficult to root out the evil Soul Masters, it was just a matter of spending more time!

Hearing these emotional words from Yun Ming, the other elders also knew that he wasn't joking, and their expressions became even more serious…

Elder Cai took a deep breath, slammed the table with a bang, and coldly shouted, "Since the Pavilion Master has agreed, then next, we shall notify all teachers and students to gather at the Outer Court Square. Each Elder of our Sea God Pavilion will check them one by one!"

"Evil Soul Masters, not a single one will leave Shrek Academy alive!"

…

Soon, the announcement from the Sea God Pavilion had already spread throughout the entire academy…

The academy could vaguely be seen becoming noisy...

A student cautiously said, "Have you guys heard? Yesterday, it seems an evil Soul Master made a move on Yuanen Yehui from the second-grade class one, but luckily, he was slain by Teacher Xu!"

Another student's eyes widened as they said, "What! Those evil Soul Masters are really audacious to dare come to our Shrek Academy!"

"Exactly, it's because of this incident that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are personally going to investigate all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy!"

"Hiss… does that mean there is more than one evil Soul Master in Shrek Academy apart from the one slain by Teacher Xu?"

"Of course, otherwise they wouldn't be making such a big fuss. But it's good too, only by rooting out all the evil Soul Masters can we all cultivate in peace!"

First-grade class one, inside the classroom!

Wei Xiaofeng began to speak, "Everyone, have you heard…"

Before he could finish, Xie Xie waved his hand to interrupt, "No need to talk nonsense, with such a commotion, who in the academy doesn't know?"

Gu Yue nodded, "Hmm, I suspect that the reason why the team led by Elder Tang was attacked is because there was someone in the academy who tipped them off!"

Xu Xiaoyan said with lingering fear, "These despicable evil Soul Masters, using such dirty methods! Just thinking about the presence of evil Soul Masters inside the academy makes my skin crawl!"

Wang Jinxi hesitated, "But with the academy announcing it on such a large scale, I'm afraid many evil Soul Masters with concealed identities might stealthily escape."

Ye Xinglan explained in a cold voice, "That's impossible! The academy has forbidden leaving these past few days, and they've even got Academy President Cai personally keeping watch. Anyone planning to sneak away will be summarily executed as an evil Soul Master!"

Xu Lizhi eyed the other students in the class with a sneaky look and whispered, "Sister Xinglan, do you think there might be evil Soul Masters in our class too?"

Ye Xinglan was noncommittal, "Who knows! Maybe they are right beside us."

Hearing this, Xu Lizhi subconsciously shrank away from her…

Just then, Xu Sheng stepped into the classroom…

The previously chaotic atmosphere instantly quieted down, as all the students focused their gaze on him…

In response, Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "I presume everyone already knows about the recent happenings, so, for today, the academy has announced a suspension of classes!"

The students, one after another, summoned their Martial Souls, their gazes firmly fixed on the dense crowd of evil Soul Masters in front of them!

The leader, a Titled Douluo, shouted coldly, "Hmph, daring to cause trouble in our auction house, these evil Soul Masters really don't know what's good for them!"

"Everyone, follow me and let's wipe them out!"

As his words fell, he and the other guards charged into combat with the evil Soul Masters…

In a moment, the situation had plunged into chaos…

Xu Sheng glanced at Yuanen Yehui beside him, and said, "Yehui, let's go."
