On the other side, somewhere close to the edge!
The legion that had been searching the area had all come to a stop...
One of the legion members wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, panting, "Captain, have we made a mistake? If the Holy Spirit Cult really is within this range, they wouldn't just let us search around like this!"
Another member chimed in, "That's right, Captain. In my opinion, we should start searching in other directions. This blasted place doesn't have a single soul in sight!"
"Rather than searching aimlessly here, we might as well catch a live evil Soul Master and torture him into revealing the location of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Exactly! I agree with this method. The success rate is clearly much higher!"
Indeed, the one called Captain was none other than one of the eighteen War Gods from the War God Hall!
This War God's body radiated strong soul power fluctuations, and his stern face endowed him with an aura of authority...
However, the words he uttered next were completely at odds with the image he presented!
"What nonsense! Capturing a live evil Soul Master is easier said than done. Moreover, we can't even be sure that the Holy Spirit Cult location we pry out of their mouths is true or false!"
"If we go looking one by one, it's a sheer waste of time"
By the time we actually find them, I fear all the major forces will have been annihilated by those Level Twelve Soul Guidance Shells!
The member closest to the Captain sighed, "But Captain, we can't just keep searching foolishly like this. We haven't even found the Holy Spirit Cult yet and we'll tire ourselves out first!"
Upon hearing these words, the War God fell silent...
Indeed, this high-intensity search, even though everyone was a Soul Master, was taking a toll on their bodies!
Just as they were at a loss, suddenly someone spoke up, "Wait, Captain, there seems to be the stench of rotting corpses ahead!"
This statement immediately attracted the attention of all the legion members, who began to search in the direction from which the stench was coming...
A few minutes later, the sight of several dozen Soul Masters' corpses appeared before everyone's eyes!
Each corpse was extremely shriveled, especially their colorless eyes, which were wide open, as if they had endured immense torture before death!
All the members of the legion felt a chill, gritting their teeth and saying, "They've all lost their life force! And the bodies are very shriveled, as if their blood has been intentionally drawn out!"
"This... these corpses are the work of evil Soul Masters, the base of the Holy Spirit Cult must be nearby, we haven't made a mistake!"
"That's right, I've also seen the scene of evil Soul Masters slaughtering Soul Masters, it's exactly this gruesome!"
"Damn it, once we find the lair of the Holy Spirit Cult, we must make them pay!"
The War God knelt down, channeled his soul power into one of the corpses, and his face immediately darkened...
"They were indeed killed by evil Soul Masters... which also proves that the Holy Spirit Cult is indeed nearby"
However, given that the Holy Spirit Cult knows that the major forces are searching for them, isn't it a bit too strange for them to act so boldly?
With this thought, he shook his head, "Forget it, it's no use thinking too much, let's report to the Hall Master and the other War Gods first!"
Having said that, he contacted Vice Hall Master Guan Yue through the communication device...
...
On the open deck, the gentle sunshine kept pouring down, filling the surroundings with bursts of warmth...
Tang Wulin stretched and looked down at the deep blue sea below, sighing, "This is so comfortable, much better than staying at the academy!"
Xie Xie nodded, "Isn't that so? We bury ourselves in cultivation at the academy every day. It's such a relief to finally have the chance to encounter something new!"
Meanwhile, Xu Lizhi took a big gulp of his juice and chuckled, "Hehe, the key point is that this Giant Wheel is just too luxurious! Whatever you want to eat or drink, they have it all!"
Xu Xiaoyan then stretched out her arms, feeling the blowing gale, "Isn't this beautiful environment even more captivating? If I could, I'd want to live here forever!"
Pausing, she then stuck out her tongue and added, "But this Giant Wheel isn't cheap, so that's just wishful thinking!"
Even her family couldn't afford such extravagant spending!
Ye Xinglan seemed to notice Gu Yue, who appeared to have a heavy heart, and asked curiously, "Gu Yue, why do you look so preoccupied? Weren't you fine just a moment ago?"
Gu Yue shook her head and mustered a weak smile, "It's nothing, just some troublesome thoughts."
The so-called troublesome thoughts, of course, pertained to the Soul Beast Legion!
After Di Tian contacted her that day, though she told him what to do... she didn't know if it would be successful!
Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue and gathered his courage, "Um, could everyone please go over there for a moment? I have something I want to talk to Gu Yue about alone!"
Xie Xie said in shock, "Alone? My god, you're not planning to confess your feelings, are you?"
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled with the soul of gossip, eagerly asking, "Really? Really? Wulin, are you going to confess? Can I listen?"
Ye Xinglan analyzed seriously, "I didn't expect you to be so bold, Wulin. But confessing in such a romantic place does indeed increase the chances of success by a lot!"
Next to her, Xu Lizhi asked curiously, "Sister Xinglan, how do you know?"
Ye Xinglan choked, then coughed, "I... of course I know. There haven't been few male students who tried to confess to me, although, I haven't been impressed by any of them!"
Hearing her words, Xu Lizhi silently bowed his head...
So many talents within the academy have been rejected by Sister Xinglan...
If... just if, he were to confess to Sister Xinglan, perhaps even the relationship they have now wouldn't be able to be maintained, right?
Tang Wulin quickly waved his hands, explaining, "No... that's not it, don't misunderstand, it's just some personal matters!"
But this did nothing to dispel everyone's suspicions; instead, it made things worse!
Xie Xie gave a knowing look, casually saying, "Well... since Wulin has said so, let's just reluctantly make some space for the two of them!"
With that, they all left together and hid behind some cover to sneak a peek...
At that moment, the deck was deserted, leaving only Tang Wulin and Gu Yue staring at each other...
Finally, Tang Wulin couldn't help but voice the doubt in his heart, "Um... Gu Yue, are you angry with me?"
Gu Yue pursed her lips, replying emotionlessly, "No, you're overthinking it!"
But Tang Wulin showed a resolute expression, insisting, "No, I can tell. The old you was definitely not like this. You would never intentionally ignore me like this!"
"So, Gu Yue, can you tell me what it really is?"
Right now, he just wanted to know what had caused such a drastic change in Gu Yue's attitude towards him!
