Those evil spirit masters who had been hiding in the deep mountains and forests, or in the alleys of the city, and who had disguised themselves as ordinary people and infiltrated for decades, all felt an unprecedented chill at this moment.
They have always been killing for pleasure, and they have always been using the pain and despair of others to improve their own cultivation.
Even when pursued by powerful Soul Masters, they have enough means to evade and escape, then lie dormant to continue developing, and then seize an opportunity to wreak havoc on one side.
Their numbers were too great and their distribution too wide; no force in the entire Douluo Continent possessed the power to annihilate them all.
But things are different now.
That Shrek Academy in the sky fully possesses this power.
Moreover, the light screen had already exposed the locations of all their evil spirit masters, no matter how deep they hid or how far they were, they had nowhere to hide.
Among the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Church present, a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties had the most unpleasant expression.
Her face was withered, her hair was gray, her eyes were filled with a fierce and evil aura, and deep wrinkles were etched between her brows. Her whole body exuded a chilling aura.
This person is none other than Ye Xishui, the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.
She stared intently at the headless corpse in the light screen, her withered hands gripping the armrests of the chair tightly.
"Are we really just going to sit here and wait to die?"
Ye Xishui's voice was icy. She turned her head and looked at the equally aged figure beside her.
Long Xiaoyao stood beside her, his aged face filled with complex emotions. He glanced at the woman he loved and then couldn't help but sigh.
"It's too late to turn back now."
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a deep weariness. Being a member of the Holy Spirit Church was a burden for him, but no amount of explanation would help; the Holy Spirit Church's current state was inseparable from his own efforts.
Those once sharp eyes were now filled with only turbidity and helplessness.
"From the day we decided to become evil spirit masters, we knew that we had staked our lives on the table."
"Even someone who has reached the level of a ninety-ninth-level Limit Douluo could perish at any time."
Ye Xishui's expression turned even more unpleasant. She remained silent for a moment before speaking again.
"If I use that Death Tower, will it be of any use?"
Long Xiaoyao shook his head.
"Your soul tool is only a level nine soul tool, which is completely useless in the eyes of that academy."
"Even if it evolves into a level 10 soul tool, it's still the same."
Ye Xishui's eyes flickered, and a ruthless glint flashed in her sharp eyes.
"At worst, we'll fight to the death. I still have a level nine soul tool in my hand. If I use it in a surprise attack, it might actually have some unexpected effects."
The Death Tower is an ultra-long-range soul tool. Although Shrek Academy is located thousands of meters above the ground, if they wish, they could move the Death Tower to a height of thousands of meters and then launch a long-range attack from a distance of more than five thousand meters.
Her voice carried a hint of desperate madness, like a drowning person grasping at a last straw.
After listening to these words, Long Xiaoyao sighed again.
"Don't do anything unnecessary."
"If Shrek Academy can pinpoint our location, how could they not know our plans? Do you really think they didn't anticipate what you're thinking?"
Ye Xishui remained silent for a long time after hearing these words.
Looking at Long Xiaoyao's aged face and his cloudy eyes, she felt a surge of indescribable emotions.
Are you just going to accept it like that?
Ye Xishui clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with resentment.
"Long Xiaoyao, are you really going to just accept this? Are you just going to wait to die?"
Her voice was a few decibels higher than before, carrying a long-suppressed anger and resentment.
Long Xiaoyao looked at her, a complex light flashing in his murky eyes.
“If there were truly any power to resist, I would naturally be unwilling, but now, the power of Shrek Academy is not something that you or I can easily subdue.”
He paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.
"Nowadays, times have changed. It's no longer an era where one or two Extreme Douluo can change the overall situation, nor is it an era where a level nine Soul Master can threaten a force."
Ye Xishui abruptly interrupted him.
"If you are unwilling to resist, I will do it myself."
"In my entire life, I, Ye Xishui, have never placed my hopes on others, whether in the past or now."
After she finished speaking, her gaze returned to Long Xiaoyao. Looking at his aged and weary appearance, she couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable emotions.
The Long Xiaoyao of the past wasn't like this.
Ye Xishui's memory went back to a very, very long time ago.
At that time, Long Xiaoyao was handsome and dashing, full of vigor, with sharp eyes and an indomitable aura emanating from his entire body.
The reason she fell in love with Long Xiaoyao and schemed to have him take away her most precious possession was because she was drawn to his innate sharpness and untamed spirit.
At that time, Long Xiaoyao was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, clanging loudly.
But at some point, Long Xiaoyao suddenly became taciturn.
His sharp edge disappeared, his aura dissipated, replaced by a submissive demeanor, just like Moon's.
Thinking of this, Ye Xishui clenched her fists even tighter. In short, she could not die, even though her hands were stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people.
She's come this far with great difficulty, how can she just give up like this? She hasn't brought enough disaster or pain to the Douluo Continent that hurt her, she hasn't ruled this world yet, she finally managed to get rid of Zhongli the Elder, and now Shrek Academy has come along?
Why does God treat me this way?
Chapter 412 First Surge, Then Find the Scapegoat
In the God Realm, Tang San couldn't help but smile after hearing Harosa's declaration.
"This action is reminiscent of my style back then."
Tang San's tone carried a hint of approval. He nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his blue eyes.
"This is a righteous act. Evil Soul Masters have been a scourge on the continent for a long time, and someone should stand up to eliminate them. Shrek Academy's actions are a rare example of righteousness."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai, who was standing to the side, smiled and chimed in agreement.
"That's true. I never expected Shrek Academy to have such thoughts. It's rare to find someone as pure and kind as a mistress."
Oscar nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Evil Soul Masters should have been completely eradicated long ago. Back when we were in Douluo Continent, there weren't so many evil Soul Masters running rampant. Ten thousand years have passed, and it's definitely time for someone to take care of them."
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, nestled close to Tang San with a sweet smile on her face. After all, her third brother was always right, and if he thought something was good, then it was naturally good.
In an instant, voices of agreement rose and fell in the Great Hall of the Gods. Xing Douqi nodded and expressed his approval of Shrek Academy's actions in eradicating the evil spirit masters.
The King of Destruction sat to one side without saying a word.
He watched this scene quietly, his purple eyes showing no emotion. His gaze lingered on Tang San's face for a moment before he silently looked away.
The God King of Destruction knew Tang San's little schemes very well. In the God Realm, probably no one understood Tang San's little schemes better than himself. What could that silly rabbit Xiao Wu possibly understand?
When Shrek Academy first appeared, Tang San's attitude was not like this.
At that time, he directly labeled Shrek Academy as non-compliant and was even eager to sever his ties with it, because he was worried that being associated with Shrek Academy would lead to him, Tang San, violating the rules of the God Realm.
But what happened next? When Tang San learned that Tang Wulin carried his and Xiao Wu's bloodline, his attitude completely changed.
It went from devaluation to attraction, from dissatisfaction to covetousness.
This agreement, while ostensibly praising the academy's efforts to eradicate evil spirit masters, was actually a way of subtly forging a closer relationship between oneself and the academy.
The God of Destruction cursed inwardly, thinking that Tang San was indeed shameless.
As for Tang San's previous criticisms of Shrek Academy, the God King of Destruction could understand Tang San's hidden thoughts. That was, if Tang San were to do this, he would definitely do a better job, and Shrek Academy could have a better outcome under his leadership.
This hypocritical appearance greatly displeased the King of Destruction.
In particular, Tang San carries the position of the Asura God, one of the law-enforcing gods of the God Realm.
This should have been a just and impartial divine position, but Tang San never truly abided by the rules of the divine realm.
He will only invoke the rules when they are in his favor; when they are not, he will make all sorts of excuses, shirk responsibility, and offer all sorts of justifications to absolve himself of any responsibility.
What frustrated the God-King of Destruction even more was that, for some unknown reason, the old gap between the two sides...
The Shrek Seven Devils supported Tang San and had no objection to destroying the God King. After all, they had gone through countless hardships with Tang San from the lower realm and ascended to heaven together. Their friendship was there for all to see, and it was only natural for them to support Tang San.
But what about the others?
Those gods who had no close relationship with Tang San, those gods who should have remained neutral, seemed to have lost their minds in front of Tang San.
No matter what Tang San said, they would nod in agreement; no matter what Tang San did, they would echo his words.
Even the God of Destruction's own wife, the Goddess of Life, would occasionally side with Tang San and say a few good words for him, which left him quite helpless.
The King of Destruction's gaze returned to the light screen.
This newly emerged Shrek Academy possesses power far surpassing that of the Douluo Continent, and methods that even the God Realm cannot fully analyze. What kind of changes will it bring to the God Realm?
At the very least, I hope I don't get involved with Tang San, otherwise... that would be a huge problem. Who knows, the God Realm might really become Tang San's personal fiefdom.
In time, all the divine positions in the divine realm might belong to the Tang family.
In the lower realm, the declaration of Harosa, the Minister of the Holy Spirit's Execution Department, had also reached Xuanzi's ears.
Xuanzi was walking in a desolate mountain wilderness when he heard these words and trembled with anger.
What kind of regulation is this?
Why make such a rule just when his own Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul is awakening its true Devouring Talent? Isn't this targeting him?
Xuanzi's heart was filled with anger and resentment.
He considered himself different from those evil soul masters. He was not the kind of person who relied on slaughtering mortals to cultivate. After all, Xuanzi was a veteran powerhouse of Shrek Academy and a Gluttonous Douluo.
Even though he had already considered this, he ultimately did not act on it, and this declaration directly blocked Xuanzi's next actions.
He didn't want to die, and he never considered himself an evil spirit master.
Of course, even if Xuanzi didn't acknowledge himself as an evil soul master, he knew that Shrek Academy in the sky would definitely not let him off easily.
From the moment Xuanzi first saw Shrek Academy, he knew that he had an inextricable grudge against it.
Xuanzi's face was quite ferocious at this moment. He thought to himself that he must become stronger as soon as possible. No matter what means he had to use or what price he had to pay, he had to stand back among the strong.
However, Xuanzi still retained a sliver of reason; he knew he couldn't start by targeting the common people.
Harosa's words made it very clear that the locations of all the evil spirit masters had been memorized, and if he were to be targeted by them after killing civilians, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xuanzi made up his mind to start by targeting the evil spirit masters.
Those evil spirit masters deserved to die, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to kill them. Moreover, if the academy held him accountable in the future, he could simply shift the blame and say that it was all the evil spirit masters' fault, that they had interfered with his understanding, and that he had only made a mistake because he was temporarily misled.
Just like when Ma Xiaotao's evil fire erupted and killed innocent students at the Sea God Lake, Xuanzi planned to find a scapegoat evil spirit master to clear his name.
Besides, I have made contributions to Douluo Continent, so why can't I be treated differently?
Xuanzi continued to traverse the surrounding dense forest, intending to recover his strength as soon as possible before all the evil soul masters were dead. Just then, Xuanzi suddenly fell into a passage.
Xuanzi was taken aback, because he was quite familiar with the aura of this passage. Wasn't this the aura of the Abyss Passage that opened in Shrek Academy that day?
At this moment, Xuanzi's figure continued to descend. Xuanzi wanted to take off, but found that he could not. Where was he going?
Xuanzi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Chapter 413 Since that's the case, then I'll just give up being human!
After Xuanzi entered the abyss passage, his body continued to fall downwards. It was pitch black all around, with only the sound of the wind whistling in his ears.
Just then, suddenly, a dense whistling sound of wings flapping came from all directions.
Xuanzi looked closely and saw countless dark figures emerging from the darkness, rushing towards his direction.
The shadowy figures were small, entirely black, with sharp claws at the ends of their limbs; they were clearly four-clawed bats.
Xuanzi's pupils suddenly contracted. He hadn't expected it to be these things again. These things were just a bunch of cannon fodder. He had once personally captured and killed a four-clawed bat with the power of a Soul King. Now there were so many of them, but he was not afraid at all.
Xuanzi immediately roared, and his soul power exploded instantly. Fortunately, he had now recovered one arm, and his combat power had been restored to some extent. Moreover, he had regained the power of devouring. Now, he was terrifyingly strong.
