[Double II Era]
Xingluo Empire, inside the palace.
Emperor Xu Jiawei was stunned at first, then he slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha! Great! That's great!"
He made no secret of his gloating joy in front of the entire court:
"Shrek, always waving the banner of justice, lets their supervisory group dictate our affairs in the name of 'cracking down on evil spirit masters,' repeatedly infringing on our territorial sovereignty!"
"Now look, there's shit underneath their own butts!"
"With their hometown infiltrated by evil spirit masters to this extent, how can they still have the nerve to call themselves the guardians of the continent? It's simply ridiculous!"
A general immediately echoed:
"Your Majesty is wise! Shrek is in danger now!"
"I think that so-called supervisory group can be disbanded!"
"How can a bunch of people who can't even manage their own families be qualified to monitor the world!"
Xu Jiawei nodded with satisfaction, his eyes gleaming:
"I hereby declare that from this day forward, the Star Luo Empire will no longer recognize any law enforcement authority of the Shrek Supervisory Group!"
"Anyone who dares to trespass will be treated as an invader and killed without mercy!"
...
Holy Spirit Church Headquarters.
In the dark hall, a group of black-robed elders first fell into an eerie silence.
"We... have such a high-ranking official lurking in Shrek?"
An elder asked hoarsely.
"I've never heard of it... Apart from the leader, I'm afraid only a few supreme elders can achieve this..."
"But the Grand Elders are all in seclusion..."
At this time, the leader Zhongli Wu, who was sitting on the main seat, waved his hand, and the noisy discussion immediately stopped.
"He is a powerful person who joined our sect very early. His status in our sect is that of an honorary supreme elder."
Zhongli Wu's voice contained a hint of laughter.
"He only communicated with me through a single line, so it's normal that you didn't know."
After hearing Zhongli Wu's explanation, an elder couldn't help but lament:
"That's a shame. It was exposed by this sky curtain. It was exposed too early."
"No problem."
Zhongli Wu's voice sounded, without any panic, but full of joy.
"The seeds have already been planted. What if they are discovered?"
"Suspicion, fear, civil unrest... Shrek's drama has only just begun."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders reacted and burst into strange laughter.
"That's right! Shrek has truly lost face this time!"
"Hehehe... Let's see how they'll have the nerve to come out and hunt us down from now on!"
"Indeed, watching the geniuses they nurtured, one by one, become 'evil soul masters' who need to be eliminated, that scene must be quite exciting..."
"Hehehe…"
The sinister laughter echoed in the room, full of malice and expectation.
...
Sun and Moon Empire, Mingde Hall.
Hall Master Jing Hongchen looked at the sky with a gleam in his eyes.
"Interesting, really interesting. Shrek, this seemingly flourishing tree, is actually rotten from the root."
The siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen beside him also looked disdainful.
"Grandpa, Shrek's reputation has been ruined."
Meng Hongchen said.
"It's more than just a loss of reputation."
Jing Hongchen sneered.
"That Wang Yan is just the beginning, that mysterious traitor is the key!"
"Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will take root and sprout in the hearts of all their leaders. How can there be any cohesion in an academy where even the comrades cannot be trusted?"
"Perhaps there won't be a major war at all."
"We only need to give it a gentle push, and this rotten fortress will collapse from within!"
...
On the sky screen, the picture did not stop because of the noise from the outside world.
[Next, let me explain the second reason for being on the list:]
[Holding evil intentions, controlling genius]
It replayed the scenes of Wang Yan "teaching" his students throughout the ages.
But this time, it was accompanied by his inner monologue.
First is the scene of Xu Sanshi practicing under the waterfall!
[Xu Sanshi, Mysterious Nether Turtle Martial Spirit, what a great talent.]
[He thought I was helping him stimulate the thin ancient bloodline in his body? How naive he was.]
[The soul power circulation route I taught him was not intended to stimulate any bloodline, but to plant a seed of the abyss in his martial soul core!]
[Every impact, every painful endurance, every so-called blood pulse, is nourishing this seed with his own will.]
[When the seed sprouts, his Xuanming Turtle will completely degenerate into a 'Dark Black Tortoise' that knows only to devour and destroy!]
[By then, he will become the strongest shield in my hand, and also a puppet controlled by me!]
[And he will be grateful to me, his mentor, until his death! ]
...
[Double II Era]
In the square, Xu Sanshi, who was standing with Jiang Nannan, was struck by lightning!
He suddenly looked at his hands, his eyes instantly filled with endless horror!
He could clearly feel that deep within his martial soul, there was indeed a... cold power that he could not control!
Every time he thought his bloodline was improving, it was actually that power that was growing stronger!
He has been pushing himself into the abyss with his own hands!
"No… No!!"
Xu Sanshi roared in anger, looking like a madman.
...
The scene changed again, showing the female student who was rescued by Wang Yan.
[The female student whose martial spirit is "Withered Vine."]
[I told her, there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters.]
[I guided her to evolve her martial soul into the 'Soul Devouring Vine', which can absorb the enemy's soul power.]
[This naive little girl, did she really think I helped her spirit evolve? That I transformed her from a loser into a genius?]
[Soul-Eating Vine, what a beautiful name.]
But she didn't know that once this vine had tasted the flavor of soul power, it would no longer be satisfied with ordinary nutrients.
[Soon, she will need to devour her life force to suppress the backlash of her martial spirit.]
[By then, she will have no choice.]
[She can only penetrate the body of a living person with her vines and drain their life force... completely!]
[She will become a true monster, an evil soul master who will devour her companions in order to become stronger.]
[And all of this is her own choice, isn't it? ]
...
[Double II Era]
"No!!"
In the crowd, the female student with the "Soul-Devouring Withered Vine" martial spirit let out a shrill scream.
She shook her head frantically, her face covered with tears and snot.
"I didn't! I wouldn't!"
She recalled the inexplicable desire for flesh and blood that occasionally arose in her heart during her recent training, a hunger that even frightened her.
It turns out... that was not my fantasy!
That was her martial spirit, urging her to "eat"!
Panic washed over her like a tide.
The entire Shrek Square was in complete chaos.
Those students who had received instruction from Wang Yan all looked pale and frantically checked their bodies and martial spirits, fearing that they were also experimental subjects.
Trust completely collapsed at this moment.
The seeds of doubt take root and sprout in everyone's heart.
Huo Yuhao's body was trembling slightly.
He looked at the painful Xu Sanshi, the collapsed female student, and then at the Qiangu Wang Yan who was shrouded in golden light.
A chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
"So...what about me?"
