Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 217 Yan Shaozhe: I think the Soul Guidance Department no longer needs to exist...

"The situation is now devastating..."

On the top floor of Poseidon Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe leaned forward slightly, pointed at the documents on the table, and looked at the elders with a serious expression.

"Elders, we recently reached an agreement with the Body Sect to raid Mingdu together next month. We must also consider whether this is our last chance to turn the tables. After all, the Sun-Moon Empire has already demonstrated its absolute strength. If we give them enough time to develop..."

"We all know all this, Shaozhe." Elder Lin said softly.

"But the question now is, what are our chances of success in the surprise attack on Mingdu? If successful, how long can we delay the Sun Moon Empire?"

“Haha, if successful, with Master Xuan and Du Bu Si directly destroying the Mingdetang headquarters, and then going on a killing spree to massacre those scientific research soul mentors, it will at least set the Sun and Moon Empire back hundreds of years!” Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.

"This will give us continuous opportunities..."

"Yan Shaozhe, I heard that just recently you abolished the funding for the Soul Guidance Department that was decided by Elder Mu. Is that true?" Elder Lin stared at Yan Shaozhe quietly.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you must make the decision for the Soul Guidance Department!" Qian Duoduo cried.

Ever since Yan Shaozhe took over the position of "Acting Pavilion Master" after Yu Mu left under the strong recommendation of Yu Mu, the soul guide device suffered a devastating blow, and Yu Mu's previous decisions were all destroyed. Even the more than 100 million yuan of financial funds that had just been allocated was still on Yan Shaozhe's mind.

"Hmph!" Xian Lin'er snorted coldly and crossed her arms over her chest.

She was completely disappointed with Yan Shaozhe, a short-sighted guy...

"Haha..." Yan Shaozhe was not panicked at all, but smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you don't know this. I have previously investigated the so-called scientific research projects of the Soul Guidance Department. Apart from the extremely expensive materials used to make the so-called 'missiles', the rest of the projects are like child's play compared to the Sun and Moon Empire. They are almost running while you are still crawling. The situation is tense now, how can you expect them to do anything?"

"This..." Old Lin pondered for a moment, and glanced at Xian Lin'er and the other person helplessly.

There is no doubt about this.

Shrek invested a lot of manpower and resources, nearly 100 million gold soul coins, but ended up with a defective product. No, it can't even be considered a defective product, because that thing can't fly at all...

Seeing this, Xian Lin'er glared at Qian Duoduo unhappily, and the latter sighed.

Yan Shaozhe is right about this point. The situation is serious now and it has reached the most critical moment.

To develop soul guides would require at least hundreds of years of intensive investment of money and resources to have a hope of competing with the current Sun-Moon Empire. Obviously, the cost-effectiveness is too low. It would be better to put all resources into the martial soul system and go all in.

"But we can't deny it completely..." After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Lin decided to say something fair: "Duoduo has tried his best."

"But Mr. Lin, if we can kill Xu Cheng with our best efforts, can we develop a soul guide device?" Yan Shaozhe said sternly and mercilessly.

"To put it bluntly, soul guides are a bottomless pit. Unless there is really a child of destiny who can stand on our side and forcibly bring up the soul guide system, otherwise the so-called soul guide system is a joke!"

Qian Duoduo even hung his head, and the shrewd and arrogant look of the past was no longer there.

“……” Mr. Lin was silent.

"Although... Shaozhe has a point." Old Song also sighed. He always had a hot temper, but at this moment he nodded silently.

"That's right, Elder Zhu. What I want to say today is also related to this... Completely get rid of the Soul Guidance Department and invest all resources into the Martial Soul Department. Take advantage of the last few decades and take another gamble." Yan Shaozhe said solemnly.

"Yan Shaozhe, how dare you!!!" Xian Lin'er's expression changed from silence to disbelief, and finally her eyes widened with anger. A spear emerged in her hand, and a wave of air surged around her, and the aura of a Super Titled Douluo was clearly visible.

Qian Duoduo also looked unhappy.

This was the result of most of their life's hard work as a "couple" to achieve this level. Not to mention resisting the Soul Guidance System of the Sun-Moon Empire, they could at least contend with the original three kingdoms.

This was when they were short of funds and had to fill the gap themselves. After all, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was extremely backward, and it only gradually improved after they took over.

But now, Yan Shaozhe actually wants to disband the Soul Guidance Department on the spot!

This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Haha, your temper is still as bad as ever." Yan Shaozhe spread his hands helplessly, but did not stop it. He let the cold light of the spear point at his throat and stared at the angry Xian Lin'er without changing his expression.

"Lin'er!" Cai Meir hurried forward to stop the fight.

"Okay, be quiet, why are you making so much noise?" Old Song raised his eyebrows and shouted.

He is a level 97 Super Titled Douluo, second only to Xuan Zi in strength, and the second strongest person present.

"Hmph! If you dare to disband the Soul Guidance System, I will fight you to the death!" Xian Lin'er said gritting her teeth.

"Alas, I'm doing this for Shrek as well. Now that we're facing a powerful enemy, isn't it a waste for you to invest resources into that bottomless pit?" Yan Shaozhe said innocently.

"Don't give me that. You are just trying to..."

"Lin'er!" Qian Duoduo finally spoke, looking at Xian Lin'er with complicated eyes, "Shaozhe is right. What we should consider now is not the future, but whether we can survive now."

“That doesn’t mean we can disband the Soul Guidance System!” Xian Lin’er breathed rapidly.

"Hey, these are all misunderstandings. I didn't say that the Soul Guidance Department must be disbanded. It's just that in the future... give the Soul Guidance Department a smaller share, and invest the majority into the Martial Soul Department." Yan Shaozhe smiled understandingly.

Hearing this, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo's expressions looked much better.

Yan Shaozhe smiled secretly.

Sure enough, people like to compromise...

In this way, the honor of Shrek can be preserved, and those so-called soul guidance systems (evil ways) can be swept into the garbage dump.

When we defeat the Sun-Moon Empire in the future, the honor will still belong to the Wuhun system!
And the Soul Guidance Department will inevitably be swept into the dustbin of history.

But just when he was feeling proud of himself, a voice slowly sounded, leaving everyone stunned.

"How come the Sea God Pavilion has become like this after I was away for just a few days..."

Yan Shaozhe's whole body stiffened and his heart suddenly stopped.

The voice was very familiar, so familiar that he could identify the owner instantly, but because of this, he couldn't believe why the teacher appeared here at this moment and was still so young.

Clear-minded and harmonious, just like he was back then.

No, this voice seemed to contain something that the teacher had never had before.

majesty!

His throat rolled and he turned around slowly.

The surrounding ministers also responded in sync.

I saw a handsome middle-aged man in a white robe slowly appearing at the door of the conference room.

"Go back, Shaozhe." Moon walked slowly forward and patted Yan Shaozhe on the shoulder.

"I..." The latter seemed to be in a trance, and returned to his seat in a daze, then he seemed to suddenly wake up.

"Mr. Mu, you..." Xuan Zi looked dazed and said excitedly with trembling voice.

The ministers were even more shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Everyone, everything Shaozhe did a few days ago is invalid. We will do our best to develop soul guides!"

Moon smiled lightly and said decisively.

During the days when he was away, Yan Shaozhe did have some commanding demeanor, but...

"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe said anxiously.

"It has now been proven that relying on the martial soul system to defeat the soul guidance system is a dead end. If you want to develop, you must follow the trend and not reverse history. The soul guidance system is the main theme of the future." Moon ignored him and continued.

"As for what everyone is most worried about, we have confidence... because our ancestor, A Yin, has awakened..."...

"What on earth do our superiors mean? They develop the soul guidance system one moment and then abandon it the next. It's been a mess for so many days..."

"Hush! What nonsense! The higher-ups must have their reasons for doing this."

"..."

Lin Xi took back the eavesdropping device and shrugged at everyone.

"My goodness, I thought that only our Sun Moon Empire had so many things to do. Shrek is even more important. Today it develops the Soul Guidance Department, and tomorrow it is abolished. If you don't know, you would think that the two factions are fighting for power."

"It's normal. I heard from Ah Cheng that the pillar that supports Shrek Academy is about to collapse. Now that the school is in a precarious situation, coupled with the threat from the Sun and Moon Empire, it's normal to be so panicked." Xiao Hongchen flipped through the book boredly.

"Where's Old Ji? Is he going to the duel arena again?" He looked around but didn't see that figure.

"Probably, but there are a lot of people chasing after Lao Ji recently. I just don't know if he can find love." Lin Xi pouted.

"I remember there was a girl who came for exchange this time. Her name was Jing something. She was very close to Old Ji. Although the girl was average looking, she had good talent and strength. She got along well with Old Ji. She would be able to get along with anyone," said Xiao Hongchen.

"What are you talking about so excitedly?" Ma Rulong walked into the room and asked with interest.

"Let's talk about who Old Ji bullied today..."

"There is no match in the duel arena today, and there hasn't been any in the past few days." Ma Rulong said with a smile.

"Oh, where did he go? Today is our day off. He is a sword fanatic. Could he have been abducted by Shrek's girls?" Xiao Hongchen turned over and sat up.

“He was abducted by a girl, but not a Shrek girl. Instead, she’s from our Sun Moon Empire. What’s her name? A girl named Jing. The two of them were shopping in Shrek City. I think they were almost sticking together…” Ma Rulong said.

"Oh~~~"

……

Xingluo Imperial Capital.

In the central square.

Not long ago, the Continental Soul Master Academy Competition was held here, but now it is a huge execution ground.

Countless soldiers in armor stood solemnly outside the square, surrounding the inside in circles.

At the very center, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, but looking somewhat disheveled. She was kneeling on the ground, her face no longer having the elegance of the past, but only a look of desolation.

On the other side, there were two executioners standing, the big knives in their hands were shining brightly under the reflection of the sun.

"Kill her!"

"The shame of the Xing Luo Empire!"

"A slut who brings shame to the Empire!"

"..."

The outskirts of the square were packed with spectators.

The uninformed audience only knows that because of the rebellion of Duke White Tiger, the Xing Luo Empire's land was divided, and the Sun Moon Empire took advantage of the situation and raided the imperial capital. In short, everything was Duke White Tiger's fault.

But the White Tiger Duke's life or death is unknown now, so everyone can only temporarily vent their anger on the White Tiger Duke's wife.

Rotten eggs, rotten cabbages, and even dirty things passed through the gaps in the human wall formed by the soldiers and hit the Duchess in the face.

She hugged her shoulders and shivered.

But she didn't dare to look up. Ever since she was forced by Orange to lead the way, her fate seemed to have been determined.

It is the best tool for the Xingluo Empire to vent anger and calm public anger.

In fact, she was already grateful that the Xingluo Emperor did not destroy her soul power and then threw her into an alley in the middle of the night. After all, if he really did that, there would probably be many people who wanted to taste the Duchess...

Star-shaped city wall.

With a wide field of view, you can clearly see the scene in the square.

But the princess was worried for a long time: "Brother, this is really not right. If you really abolish her and throw her into the slums, it will be difficult for other loyal ministers to be loyal to you!"

"Fuck your loyal ministers!" Xu Jiawei waved his sleeves and said angrily.

"After the last incident, I finally saw through the true colors of those people. How can we talk about loyalty? We still need strength! They are just a bunch of fence-sitters. If they were really loyal subjects, why didn't they share my worries?"

"What's the point of their loyalty to me, you cowardly idiots?!"

Xu Jiujiu's face was full of helplessness.

Insulting and killing such a lady from a noble family would inevitably cause panic.

But ever since the troops of the Sun-Moon Empire were at the gates of the city not long ago, my brother has been like a frightened bird, his nerves have been tense and he has become suspicious.

Now even her advice fell on deaf ears.

"Stop talking nonsense and do it!"

Xu Jiawei waved his hands impatiently.

Hearing this, a waiter looked expressionless and dodged downwards.

There was a flash of violence in Xu Jiawei's eyes, and a sense of pleasure in revenge.

Obviously, this scene would not only take place at night, but also in broad daylight, making the wife of the Duke of White Tiger a whore that could be slept with by anyone, for everyone to see...

This is like the naturalization of barbarism in a civilized country.

He closed his eyes in pain for a long time.

She looked at Xu Jiawei, whose expression contained a hint of happiness. How come this brother of the past had become such a stranger at this moment?

……

"What are you going to do? Where are you taking me?"

The moment the Duchess of White Tiger saw the waiter, her soul power was sealed and she was taken away.

She panicked instantly.

Because she had already guessed what a miserable end she would end up in the near future.

It is truly a state of being unable to live or die.

Although her husband betrayed the country and turned against the emperor, she was so determined...

"Haha, what do you want to do? Of course, it's to make you happy." The waiter smiled maliciously and then threw it down suddenly.

The surrounding civilians stepped back, leaving a circle.

She fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty has ordered! All items in the White Tiger Duke's mansion will be used as the national treasury. This woman will be reduced to a slave for all the White Tiger Duke's family members..."
