Seeing Guan Yue hurry off, Yuan En Zhentian hesitated and said, "Elder Cai, should we just share such vital intelligence with the War God Hall?"
Elder Cai Yue'er sighed, "If just sharing this intelligence could reduce the loss of some Soul Masters in the upcoming battle, then the sacrifice of Elder Turbid World and the others would be meaningful!"
Elder Ya'li slightly nodded, "What Elder Cai said is very true, but it's a pity, for Elder Xu was slain by the Abyssal Emperor in his effort to protect Wulin—that child. Otherwise, he would definitely have been a tremendous help!"
Little did she know, her words caused Elder Cai Yue'er's expression to abruptly change as she said in a heavy voice, "No, not slain. According to Wulin, it seems that Elder Xu was devoured by the Abyssal Emperor, and the immense Divine Power inside him was inherited as well!"
Lan Muzi's pupils shrank as he exclaimed, "How come I never heard Wulin mention this?"
Tang Yinmeng also frowned and said, "I haven't heard about it either. Elder Cai, when did Wulin tell you this?"
Cai Yue'er looked at everyone and explained word for word, "It's normal for you not to be aware of this; Wulin only told me and Elder Long, fearing that it would undermine the faith of the elders!"
"However, you only need to know one thing—that the Abyssal Emperor who devoured Elder Xu has unprecedented strength, so powerful that even if the entire Sea God's Pavilion were to take him on together, it wouldn't stand a chance!"
Yuanen Yehui took a sharp breath and said, "So, this is the reason Elder Long agreed to let the Shrek Seven Monsters leave the federation?"
That made sense, after all, ordinary Ultimate Douluos could no longer threaten the Abyssal Emperor!
The only hope now rested on Tang Wulin, who possessed the Divine Artifact, the Sea God's Trident!
After a pause, Yuanen Yehui continued, "But, with just a few months' time, no matter how much one cultivates, it's very difficult to improve one's strength, which I'm sure all the elders are well aware of!"
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that reaching the level of a Hyper Douluo, to advance even one level in several years, was already extremely fortunate!
Yet, Cai Yue'er had evidently anticipated this issue, "Don't worry about this. Wulin contacted me a few days ago, they will return in a few days, and moreover, their strength has already achieved significant enhancement!"
However, this statement met with fierce opposition from Ya'li...
"No, Elder Cai, they have only just stepped into the realm of Hyper Douluos coming here would be tantamount to courting death!"
But Cai Yue'er immediately interjected, "Elder Ya'li, what if I told you that the average soul power rank of the Shrek Seven Monsters has already reached above level 97?"
Ya'li's expression underwent a subtle change. "What? That's impossible!"
An overall strength breakthrough to above level 97 in just over a month was simply unbelievable!
Cai Yue'er slowly closed her eyes, "Although I'm not sure how they did it, the fact remains!"
"These children, they never disappoint us!!"
...
At this moment!
The Shrek Seven Monsters had already boarded the Soul Guidance Train!
Yet, the atmosphere around them felt incredibly oppressive...
Finally, unable to bear the sensation any longer, Xie Xie broke the silence, "Everyone, even though we've boarded the Soul Guidance Train, I can't shake the feeling of an ominous premonition!"
Xu Xiaoyan, surprisingly not retorting for once, agreed, "Me too... I keep feeling like something unpleasant is going to happen on this trip!"
Yue Zhengyu nonchalantly crossed his legs and said indifferently, "Calm down, calm down. Has there ever been a time when something didn't happen while we were on the Soul Guidance Train? Let's just roll with it!"
"Right, Wulin?"
Tang Wulin shook his head and said gravely, "No, I too have a sense that something is about to take place soon. Everyone must be careful!"
Ye Xinglan slightly nodded, then quietly began to circulate her soul power, protecting Xu Lizhi beside her...
Yuanen Yehui took the opportunity to release his spiritual power, scanning the entire Soul Guidance Train...
But unexpectedly, he detected nothing out of the ordinary...
```
He immediately spoke up, "Wulin, the Soul Guidance Train is functioning normally, and nothing unusual has appeared!"
Suddenly, Tang Wulin placed his finger to his lips, "Shh, listen carefully..."
Indeed, as the surrounding space quieted down, a particular sound became extremely piercing...
"Beep... beep... beep!"
A realization struck Tang Wulin's mind, and he exclaimed, "Damn it, this is a terrorist attack initiated by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Boom!!"
A heart-shaking explosion erupted, and the entire Soul Guidance Train was thrown off its course, directly leaving the tracks...
Not only that, the couplings between all the carriages were also shattered, losing their connection to each other...
In an instant, the entire scene descended into chaos...
The dazed civilians and Soul Masters also snapped out of it from the explosion, their complexions filled with panic...
"What... what's happening? Why did the Soul Guidance Train explode?"
"Run, run! I don't want to die here!!"
"No... could this be another terrorist attack launched by the Holy Spirit Cult?"
A little girl buried her head into a middle-aged woman's embrace and timidly said, "Mommy, I'm scared!"
The latter felt fear as well but still mustered the courage to comfort her, "Child, don't be afraid, the Soul Masters on the Soul Guidance Train will protect us!"
Meanwhile, Xie Xie, who took a hard fall, got up and rubbed his head, complaining, "Damn! That explosion nearly cracked my skull open!"
The rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters were also impacted to various degrees by the sudden explosion, but they quickly regained their composure...
After standing up, Tang Wulin looked around with concern and asked, "Is everyone all right?"
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head, "We're fine, but was that explosion just now a terrorist attack by the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Without waiting for a response, Yuanen Yehui spoke coldly, "It's very likely. The first time we took the Soul Guidance Train, an accident like this also happened!"
Xu Lizhi expressed his surprise, "How could this be? Hasn't the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult been eradicated by the Xingluo Empire?"
Yue Zhengyu scoffed, "Lizhi, you're too naive. That's just an excuse used by the royal household of the Xingluo Empire to pacify the public. You should know that not even several top forces working together could completely eliminate them!"
Ye Xinglan decisively interrupted, "Now is not the time to discuss this. Wulin, what should we do?"
The rest also cast inquiring glances...
They were already accustomed to such incidents, so they were not as panicked!
A glint flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes, "First, everyone calm the startled passengers, don't let them make the scene more chaotic."
"After that, we'll carefully search for the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters hiding on the Soul Guidance Train and figure out what their real purpose is!"
This explosion on the Soul Guidance Train was definitely not an ordinary terrorist attack!
It was very likely prepared especially for them, the Shrek Seven Monsters!
