Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 154 A Group of Elderly People
"Xuan Zi is seriously injured and has not yet recovered. He will not be attending this Sea God Pavilion meeting. Shaozhe, you will preside over it."

In the conference hall of the Sea God Pavilion, more than ten figures were sitting around an oval long table. Sitting at the outermost seat was Zhang Lexuan, who had just returned to the academy. At the innermost main seat was a recliner, and lying on it was Moon, the Dragon God Douluo, whose fame had spread throughout the Douluo Continent.

"Good teacher."

Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, bowed to Moon, then stood up and looked around.

Sitting around the long table were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the deans and vice deans of the Martial Soul and Soul Guidance departments. Only Zhang Lexuan had not yet reached the level of a Titled Douluo, but the fact that she could sit here was enough to show how much Shrek Academy valued her.

"My dear elders, what I want to talk about this time is Elder Xuan's encounter with the evil soul master."

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Xuan Zi, with a very ugly expression, appeared at the door of the conference room.

Zhang Lexuan quickly stood up and supported him.

"Master Xuan, why are you here?"

"Ahem." Xuan Zi coughed twice. "My injuries are no longer serious. This matter is of great importance, so let me speak in person."

"Ah." Moon, lying on the recliner, sighed softly, "Since you're here, sit down and tell me what you encountered."

"Okay." Xuan Zi was helped by Zhang Lexuan to sit next to Moon, and then he slowly spoke, "After the Fighting Spirit Competition ended, I took the children to the direction of the academy. Halfway through the journey, I felt a powerful aura."

"There are five people lying in ambush on the road we must take to return to the academy. They must have prepared in advance. Beyond that place is the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire, which is guarded by the army. It is also some distance away from Xingluo City, which is where the Xingluo Empire's defenses are weak."

"Those five people have cultivation bases above the ninth ring, and they are all evil soul masters."

As soon as Xuan Zi finished speaking, the expressions of the elders around the long table changed. Moon En and Yan Shaozhe had already heard Xuan Zi talk about it once, but when he mentioned it again, their expressions also turned a little ugly.

The fact that evil soul masters, whose strength already surpassed that of ordinary soul masters, broke through to the Titled Douluo level was not good news for the entire continent, and five of them appeared in a row.

Xuan Zi glanced at everyone and continued, "The one who injured me was no less powerful than me. I fought hard to scatter the skull dragon he summoned, but I could sense that he himself wasn't seriously injured."

"It was only because he had other things to do that he pulled away and didn't continue fighting with me." Xuan Zi said and coughed again, "And their target was Xiao Tao."

He knew in his heart that if he had delayed a little longer, he might have really had to fight to the death. The other party might have left first because of this concern.

After listening to Xuanzi's story, the conference hall was quiet for a while. No one around spoke, and it was Moon, who was lying in the main seat, who broke the silence.

"Le Xuan, after Xuan Zi came back, you and the others went to the place where Xiao Tao left. Did you find anything?"

Zhang Lexuan seemed to be in a trance. Only after being called by Moon did she snap back to her senses and spoke hesitantly, "Well, I met someone who looked very similar to what Elder Xuan described. That person was heading towards the Sun-Moon Empire, so I wonder if Xiao Tao was taken there by them?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe slammed his hand on the table. "I knew it was the Sun-Moon Empire. The Shrek Supervisory Group has been active in the three empires for many years. How could five Titled Douluo appear without a trace? Only the Sun-Moon Empire has a place for them to hide."

"Shao Zhe." Mu En spoke up, his tone not harsh, but it silenced Yan Shao Zhe. Turning to look at Zhang Lexuan, Mu En nodded slightly, "This matter is still just speculation, but among the evil soul masters who have been active in recent years, none of them have had a high level of cultivation. It seems that they have indeed found a hiding place."

"Mr. Mu, there is an evil soul master that even Mr. Xuan cannot deal with..." An old man at the side spoke with some uncertainty in his tone.

"No, according to Xuanzi's previous description, that evil soul master is called 'the leader' by others. There should be only one person with such a level of cultivation." Moon shook his head. "I'm afraid that those evil soul masters have formed a large group."

"They can now send out a full five Title Douluo. If we allow them to continue to develop, I'm afraid they will become increasingly difficult to control."

Moon said this, gently closed his eyes, and took a long breath. "The original intention of establishing the Shrek Supervisory Group was to deal with those evil soul masters who lacked supervision and restraint, and to prevent tragedies on the continent. Now that we know that our opponent is powerful, we should take action in a timely manner."

Moon suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light seemed to flash in his eyes, and a terrifying aura flashed by. Everyone in the conference hall focused their eyes on him. At this moment, they couldn't help but think of the kind old man in front of them, who was once the famous Dragon God Douluo on the continent.

"From today on, the Shrek Supervisory Group's scope of activities will also be expanded to include the Sun-Moon Empire. Unlike the three major empires, the Sun-Moon Empire has always been at odds with us and is much more dangerous than the other empires. Therefore, only teachers and students with a cultivation level above the eighth ring can enter the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Also, if necessary, I will take action myself."

"Mr. Mu——"

"teacher--"

The others showed a hint of shock on their faces. They all knew that in Moon's current state, every attack he made would reduce his remaining days by one point, which meant burning through his already limited lifespan.

"Alright." Moon raised his hand, his tone somewhat serious. "Ever since the academy was divided into the Inner Court and the Outer Court, how many young Inner Court disciples have lost their lives fighting against evil soul masters?"

"They have long been prepared to sacrifice everything to maintain stability on the mainland. Don't we old people have such awareness?"

Moon glanced around and said, "This time, our opponent is extraordinary. It's difficult for the students to deal with it. This time, the monitoring mission should be completed by us elders."

"Next, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion will lead the teachers and disciples of the academy into the Sun-Moon Empire to search for the traces of the evil soul masters and Xiao Tao. This is my proposal today. Everyone, please vote by raising your hands."

"I agree, cough cough--" Xuan Zi moved his body and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Xuan Zi, you should recuperate first during this period of time."

"Mr. Mu——"

"Needless to say, only you can deal with their leader. Right now, healing your injuries is more important than anything else."

"Yes."
