I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Ye Xishui agreed with Zhongli Wu's opinion. After all, if Huo Yuhao still had any reservations about Shrek Academy, he might eventually part ways with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Looking at it from another perspective, Ye Xishui can understand Huo Yuhao's feelings. After all, she has also dated people with opposing stances, and she is still deeply involved in it now.

However, it was precisely because of this that Ye Xishui was even more supportive of Zhongli Wu's choice. After all, she knew that she was not a very qualified leader, otherwise she would not have given the position of sect leader to her son and become a Supreme Elder who was mostly just a henchman.

Zhongli Wu breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Ye Xishui's consent. Although he did not know the specific details, he did know that Huo Yuhao and Ye Xishui seemed to be the key to inheriting the Rakshasa God's position.

In order to ensure that his Holy Spirit Cult can once again have a god-level powerhouse protecting it, just as it did at its creation, it is necessary to eliminate any possibility that Huo Yuhao might leave the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, given Huo Yuhao's importance to his mother, he had better try to get her opinion. Otherwise, if he messed things up and drove Huo Yuhao away, his mother would probably be the first person to kill him.

As for how to kill Ling Luochen without arousing Huo Yuhao's suspicion, he had already figured it out. He would then control the Shrek Academy students who were still alive and use the relationship between Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao to slander them as having defected to the Holy Spirit Cult.

This led to a riot among the Shrek Academy students who were showing off in the dungeon, which ultimately resulted in the dungeon rioting and the killing of Ling Luochen. In this way, Huo Yuhao's hatred would not spread to the Holy Spirit Cult, but would only be concentrated on Shrek Academy.

However, just as Zhongli Wu was about to take his leave to carry out his plan, an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly burst in, shouting, "Master, something terrible has happened!!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a black light appeared, and the elder, with Zhongli Wu gripping his neck, said, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb my conversation with the Supreme Elder, no matter how urgent the matter is?!"

To this, the elder could only say, trembling, "I know, but you also said that if there is any truly urgent intelligence, it must be reported immediately."

At this moment, Ye Xishui interjected, "If it is truly an emergency, let him speak first. But if what he says is just some trivial matter, then deal with it according to criminal law."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu calmed down slightly, then put down the elder he was holding and said with a cold expression, "I'll forgive you for now, as the elder on the platform requested. However, if it's just some trivial matter, I'll turn you into a vengeful spirit under my Death God's puppet!"

After receiving permission, the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult immediately clasped his hands in explanation, because if he didn't speak up, he might be killed by the cult leader in a fit of anger.

"I apologize for interrupting the conversation between the leader and Elder Taisang, but the Shrek Academy students who were previously imprisoned have all escaped!"

"What?! They all got away!!!! How could they possibly escape?!"

You should know that the Holy Spirit taught each of their prisoners to be bound with a special collar made of Soul-Suppressing Stones! Under the effect of the Soul-Suppressing Stones, no matter how high a person's cultivation level is, their soul power will be suppressed to the same level as that of an ordinary person!

What's more, this applies to the Shrek Academy students, whose strongest cultivators are only Soul Kings! Could it be that there's a traitor within their Holy Spirit Cult who released them?

Just then, Zhong Liwu suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Where did Huo Yuhao go during this time?"

The only person belonging to Shrek Academy who belongs to the Holy Spirit Cult is Huo Yuhao, who has just submitted to their Holy Spirit Cult. If Huo Yuhao really lets his former compatriots go, then no matter how good his talent as an evil soul master is, he cannot be left behind.

In response, the elder quickly replied, "His Holiness has been cultivating in his room with the fallen angel girl who follows him throughout this time. The two guards who have been watching over His Holiness can guarantee that he has not left the room. An elder was also specifically assigned to confirm this."

"Is that so? If that's the case, then forget it."

This doesn't mean Zhongli Wu has completely dispelled his doubts about Huo Yuhao; it's just that Huo Yuhao's own strength is only close to that of a Soul Master, so letting Ling Luochen and his group go would still be somewhat difficult.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's room did not have windows or anything like that; at most, there were a few ventilation openings, but those openings were not large enough for a person to enter.

As for Huo Yuhao's simulation soul skill, its disguise function is indeed very powerful, but the martial souls of the guards that Zhongli Wu chose for Huo Yuhao are all mental type, so they are much stronger than Huo Yuhao in terms of mental power.

One of the guards also possesses a soul skill called "Insight," which allows him to see through any illusions and disguises created by mental power. Unless Huo Yuhao's mental power is no different from that of a Title Douluo, he would have no chance of escaping by simulating a Soul Level and then releasing those Shrek Academy students.

If it wasn't Huo Yuhao, then who released those Shrek Academy students? Could it be that their Holy Spirit Cult really has a mole from Shrek Academy? But if so, wouldn't the location of their Holy Spirit Cult headquarters have been exposed to Shrek long ago?

If Shrek were to find out the location of their Holy Spirit Cult, he would surely gather a large number of sects in the name of righteousness to attack them.

On the surface, it was to eliminate evil and eradicate these evil spirit masters, but in reality, it was just to give Shrek Academy a good reputation.

This way, they can extract more benefits from the various empires. After all, the Shrek Academy's oversight body only doesn't officially accept money; secretly, they always force villages invaded by evil spirit masters to pay protection money. This can be considered a fairly common tactic of Shrek Academy.

Of course, to be honest, it's quite normal to ask them to pay protection money in theory. It's just that it's easy to give people a hypocritical feeling when they say that the mission of the inspection team doesn't make money while demanding protection money.

You want money, so just give it to us! But you insist on giving it to us instead of us asking for it voluntarily. This kind of behavior is really infuriating.

It should be noted that many of their evil spirit masters come from these villages that are forced to pay protection money, and they are all born out of dissatisfaction with Shrek Academy's condescending attitude.

After grumbling to himself, Zhongli Wu could only order his men to intensify their surveillance of Huo Yuhao, while simultaneously sending men to bring back the Shrek Academy students who had escaped.
