Chapter 139: Any Evil Soul Master Will Ultimately Face Justice
"San ge, use that faith energy. For you, I'm not afraid of pain." Xiao Wu smiled as she spoke, just as Tang San had expected.
Tang San felt touched, but he still pretended to hesitate. In the end, Xiao Wu forced the faith energy into his body.
Meanwhile, in Star Dou Forest, Di Qiu'er tensed up as she watched the nine soul rings floating around Yan Shaozhe.
Earlier, Huo Yuhao had sensed an approaching enemy, so he activated his Mimicry Soul Skill, hiding himself, Di Qiu'er, and the Golden Tortoise.
If she were still in her original beast form, a single Titled Douluo wouldn't have made her nervous.
After all, a 15,000 year old Auspicious Beast was comparable to a 100,000 year old soul beast, and she had Chi Wang as a bodyguard.
Against an ordinary lone Titled Douluo, a two versus one fight would be a complete stomp.
Of course, if the opponent were Wang Dong using the Ninth Soul Skill: Sea God's Descent, that would be an entirely different story…
"A Titled Douluo… and Martial Soul Possession… Hmm, Bright Phoenix bloodline… A Phoenix?"
Di Qiu'er's breathing quickened, and the golden hue in her eyes deepened.
Huo Yuhao noticed her reaction and guessed that her bloodline instincts had been triggered.
After all, she had Golden Dragon blood, and dragons and phoenixes didn't exactly get along.
According to Soul Land IV, the Dragon God had slain the Phoenix God but was gravely wounded in the process.
This event ultimately allowed humans to ascend to godhood.
Of course, that Phoenix God had nothing to do with Ma Hongjun, the second tier Phoenix God.
While the original Phoenix God had at least managed to injure the Dragon God, Ma Hongjun…
Well, if the Dragon God had casually swiped at him, he'd probably be dead on the spot.
"Relax, he can't see us. Qiu'er, you need to trust my Mimicry Soul Skill. Let's go meet up with the dean."
Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice.
Then, he led Di Qiu'er and the Golden Tortoise away, seamlessly blending into the environment.
A short while later, they regrouped with Jing Hongchen.
Huo Yuhao informed him about seeing Yan Shaozhe, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.
Jing Hongchen was surprised.
"Yan Shaozhe brought Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao? Hmm… That means both of them must be Shrek Academy's top talents."
"Last Soul Master Tournament, they competed as reserve members. They didn't get to show their full strength because they withdrew, but if Yan Shaozhe values them this much…
There's a high chance they'll be main team members for the next tournament."
His analysis made sense Shrek's reserve members weren't guaranteed to be main team members in the next tournament.
With five years between competitions, too much could change.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"That's possible."
In the original storyline, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao did become main team members.
Although they would be competing under the Tang Sect's name, Shrek Academy would still benefit.
Even if Shrek Academy lost, as long as Tang Sect won, the academy's reputation wouldn't suffer.
After all, Tang Sect's competitors were still Shrek students.
However, since Di Qiu'er and he weren't at Shrek, their spots in the competition would likely be filled by others.
"By the way, Dean, I have a stomachache, so I need to step away for a moment. I'll head into the forest."
Huo Yuhao spoke up.
Jing Hongchen hesitated.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head.
"No need, Dean. I'll be fine.
I have plenty of triggered defensive Soul Tools, so I'll be safe for a while."
Jing Hongchen eventually nodded.
"Alright, but be careful."
Huo Yuhao wasn't actually sick he just needed an excuse to open the Undead Demi Plane and store the Golden Tortoise inside.
Summoning the Undead Gate took time.
Since he hadn't revealed the Demi Plane to anyone yet, he wanted to familiarize himself with it first.
Once the time was right, he would inform trusted individuals.
Star Luo Empire.
A middle aged man in a black robe was fleeing desperately.
His breathing was ragged, and his flight speed was extreme.
As a Soul Emperor level Evil Soul Master, he was always extremely cautious to stay alive.
After all, he handled intelligence for the Holy Spirit Cult.
Although he wasn't the top intelligence officer in Star Luo, he knew many secrets.
The Holy Spirit Cult's main headquarters was in Sun Moon Empire, but intelligence gathering was crucial.
Thus, the cult had branches in every major empire.
But there was one problem
Shrek Academy had gone insane, massively increasing its efforts to exterminate Evil Soul Masters.
Even Titled and Hyper Douluo had joined the hunt, nearly wiping out every hidden Evil Soul Master in the three former Douluo empires.
"If I can just make it back to the Holy Spirit Cult, I'll be safe!
Damn Shrek Academy! I used to admire you so much as a child!"
The man gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, an immense pressure descended upon him.
His expression changed drastically.
Before he could react, Xuan Zi appeared beside him, gripping him by the throat.
In the Evil Soul Master's despair filled eyes, Xuan Zi snapped his neck instantly.
"As expected, every Evil Soul Master will eventually face justice at my hands."
Xuan Zi's expression was calm.
Just then, an irritated voice sounded behind him.
"Xuan Lao! Why did you kill him?
At least interrogate him for information about the Holy Spirit Cult first!"
Xuan Zi turned around, slightly exasperated.
He saw Cai Mei'er flying toward him.
"I couldn't help it. The moment I see an Evil Soul Master, I instinctively go for the kill.
I forgot to stop myself."
He sighed.
"But honestly, even if we kept him alive, it wouldn't have mattered.
They're all terrified of their leaders.
No matter how much we torture them, they refuse to talk."
Hearing this, Cai Mei'er sighed.
"Still, we should've at least tried."
Shrek Academy's original goal had simply been to hunt down Evil Soul Masters to find Tang Ya.
Bei Bei had received Huo Yuhao's warning, leading Shrek to deploy their inner court students for the search.
However, during the extermination campaign, the students discovered the Holy Spirit Cult's existence.
When that information reached the academy
All hell broke loose.
Xuan Zi, who had always hated Evil Soul Masters, immediately snuck out of the academy and launched a full scale assault on them.
