Purge Evil Alliance?
Wang Nan quickly recalled. Before the Soul Duel Tournament, Xu Jiujiu had specifically visited Shrek Academy, using the Snow Empress to invite Shrek Academy's Disciples to join the Purge Evil Alliance.
Now it seems, a year after the Soul Duel Tournament ended, the Purge Evil Alliance had successfully been established and attracted many people to join.
"So you came for these Evil Soul Masters?"
"Precisely." The Spirit Master nodded. "These Evil Soul Masters have actually been active within the Star Luo Empire and Douling Empire for a long time, always elusive, but only recently settled here."
"Since Senior has taken action, the belongings of these Evil Soul Masters will be handled by you. However, could you leave the bodies so we can have proof?"
Wang Nan nodded in agreement, and he and the members of the Purge Evil Alliance dealt with the Evil Soul Masters one by one, also finding a storage spirit tool on one of them.
However, Wang Nan's mental force swept over it, but he didn't find anything worth noting inside.
"The things inside are useless to me. You can take them and divide them up."
After thinking for a moment, he still handed the storage spirit tool to the members of the Purge Evil Alliance. After all, he hadn't intervened to kill and rob; no matter their reasons, these people were doing a good deed, and it wouldn't be right to let them leave empty-handed.
"Thank you, Senior!" The leader hesitated for a moment but finally reached out and took it, his smile becoming much more genuine.
Looking at the bodies of the Evil Soul Masters on the ground, Wang Nan's brow furrowed slightly. These Evil Soul Masters were a bit strange.
He had carried out many supervisory missions and was relatively familiar with various Evil Soul Masters. Most spontaneously formed groups of Evil Soul Masters had uneven strength, and their leaders would want to concentrate all their possessions in their own hands.
But these dozen or so Evil Soul Masters before him all had strengths between four and five rings. Wang Nan also hadn't found many things in the storage spirit tool just now, which made him inevitably speculate towards the Holy Spirit Cult.
According to the Spirit Master of the Purge Evil Alliance, they had stayed here for quite some time…
Wang Nan looked up, gazing at the distant formidable pass under the moonlight.
Was the Holy Spirit Cult looking for something here?
"Senior, if there's nothing else, we will take our leave."
While he was pondering, the leading Spirit Master of the Purge Evil Alliance spoke again.
Wang Nan glanced around, seeing that their gazes were all on him, filled with both reverence and wariness.
He sighed softly in his Heart-Nature, realizing that without knowing it, he had also become someone others looked up to.
"Alright, I also need to leave here."
After parting ways with the members of the Purge Evil Alliance, watching their figures disappear into the night, only then did Yan Shaozhe's figure emerge from the shadows.
"Purge Evil Alliance…" Yan Shaozhe muttered these words.
"What is it, Dean Yan?"
"Although it is also for dealing with Evil Soul Masters, being driven solely by profit may not be a long-term solution."
"However, if one wants to completely resolve the issue of Evil Soul Masters, this method is actually better than our Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group," Wang Nan said.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Wang Nan.
"Actually, I have always greatly admired our Inner Courtyard students. They truly fight against those Evil Soul Masters for the peace and justice of this Continent."
"But such people are ultimately a minority. Our Shrek Academy's Inner Courtyard Disciples rarely exceed a hundred people. What effect can they have on such a vast Douluo Continent?"
"I have always felt that the Shrek Supervisory Group is not a very good strategy. With the talent and Heart-Nature of Inner Courtyard students, they could have reached higher positions and played a greater role."
"As for the Purge Evil Alliance. Whether the Spirit Masters who join it are seeking fame or profit, they are ultimately fighting against Evil Soul Masters."
Yan Shaozhe looked thoughtfully in the direction where the Purge Evil Alliance Spirit Masters had just departed.
Wang Nan, however, did not wish to say more.
Reforming Shrek, rebuilding the Academy system? Too troublesome—these things should be left to specialized people.
…
There were no further incidents along the way. The next morning, Wang Nan and Yan Shaozhe had already returned to Sea God Island.
After the baptism of the Dragon Souls in the Dragon Valley, Wang Nan's mental force and physique had greatly improved. A night without rest had no effect on him whatsoever.
After stepping into Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe once again exuded the authority of the Martial Soul Department Dean, but there was ultimately something different about him.
Mu En, as usual, lay in front of the Sea God Pavilion. Under the Golden Tree nearby, Huo Yuhao was meditating.
Wang Nan and Yan Shaozhe did not disturb him but quietly approached Mu En.
"You're back." Mu En said, his gaze sweeping over both of them, finally resting on Yan Shaozhe. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "It's good that you're back. You've traveled a long way. Don't worry about me so much. Go back and rest."
"Yes." Yan Shaozhe responded and walked into the Sea God Pavilion.
"I can tell that Shao Zhe, that child, has gained a lot." Mu En's smile never faded. "First that child Xiao Tao, then Yuhao and Shao Zhe. I have no regrets in going to meet the ancestors of Shrek."
"Elder Mu, you…"
Mu En sighed deeply, then gently waved his hand toward Wang Nan. "I have reached my limit. It is only because I still had things on my mind that I have lingered until now. Now that I see Shao Zhe has also changed, and you have returned to the Academy, it is time."
"But before that, I want to talk to you. Consider it the last words of this old friend."
"My life—it has been both long and short. In the end, the only things I cannot let go of are Shrek Academy and a mistake I made in my youth."
"Now, Xiao Tao has reached the ultimate fire, Shao Zhe has also changed, and at the end, I have taken on a Disciple of exceptional talent. I can see that child values loyalty and righteousness. From now on, there will be no more regrets in the Academy."
"However, there is still one matter for which I, Mu En, am ashamed before this Continent."
At this point, Wang Nan had already guessed what Mu En was going to say.
"That Holy Spirit Cult… it was actually created due to my youthful inability to be ruthless. But I no longer have the ability to rectify my mistake." Mu En slightly opened his eyes, his aged gaze fixed on Wang Nan. "I only hope that it does not lead to widespread suffering on the Continent."
As things stood, Wang Nan was no longer sure what would happen on the Douluo Continent in the future, but no matter what, this was also his second home, and his parents were still here.
After a moment of silence, Wang Nan nodded. "If I have the ability at that time, I will do my best to stop the Holy Spirit Cult."
"Good." Mu En nodded, then closed his eyes. "You don't need to worry. At that time, one of my old friends will assist you."
"Also…" Mu En said no more, but a surge of mental force came toward Wang Nan.
Wang Nan suppressed the Evil Breaking Dragon in his mental sea, and a voice sounded in his ear, instantly causing his Heart-Nature to tremble, and his eyes widened slightly.
