Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!
The president and various teachers were discussing something in the room...
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and a student pushed open the door quite roughly, panting as he said, "President, all teachers, according to the information sent by the students we placed in Shrek City, Cai Yue'er from Shrek Academy is already leading some teachers towards us!"
"Not only that, they have also threatened that if we do not hand over Teacher Liu and the other two, they will destroy our academy!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the faces of everyone present drastically changed, as if they had not anticipated that Shrek Academy would actually make a move against them!
The president sitting in the center asked anxiously, "What? How could this be? Didn't I send someone to report to the Sea God Pavilion Master? Why have they started attacking us directly!"
The students he had sent out had not returned yet, and he thought they were still in negotiations; he did not expect Shrek Academy to launch an attack so suddenly!
"President, don't think about it anymore. Shrek Academy has no intention of letting us go at all. They must be planning to use this reason to annihilate us!"
"That's right, if there was any room for negotiation, why would they send an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion?"
"President, we should quickly gather the students and escape. With our strength, we simply cannot withstand them!"
"Exactly, exactly, if we leave now, there might still be enough time! It will take them at least three or four hours to get here from Shrek City!"
The president hesitated, his eyelids fluttering rapidly as he said, "But... if we leave, the academy that we've worked so hard to build will be gone!"
The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy had consumed the better part of his life, and to just abandon it suddenly was truly hard to accept!
A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the teacher next to him as he urged, "President, don't hesitate any longer. Once Shrek Academy's troop arrives, it will be too late for anything! The academy is important, but life is the prerequisite!"
"Yes, President, every second you hesitate puts us and the students in greater danger!"
"President, you don't want to see everyone lying in a pool of blood, right? Order the evacuation quickly!"
Hearing these words, the president closed his eyes in agony and said, "Send the word down... Have all the students and teachers evacuate the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!"
As he spoke these words, he seemed to have aged decades in an instant, devoid of any vitality...
Following this, Teacher Liu and the other two teachers beside him all breathed a sigh of relief...
If the president had been cruel enough to hand them over to Shrek Academy, their fate would have undoubtedly been obliteration!
Fortunately, given their contributions to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy, such an act of betrayal was not committed!
They immediately said, "Yes, President, I'll go inform the students to evacuate right away. But the place to escape to?"
The president did not wish to say more, "Do as you said earlier!"
In his heart, he thought, "Shrek Academy, my painstakingly built Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy has come to this, all because of you!"
Even though the two attacked students had not yet perished, he had humbled himself to beg for forgiveness, only to receive ruination in return!
Such a ruthlessly cold heart!
Afterwards, all the people from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy started to flee rapidly in a certain direction...
They even destroyed everything within the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy to prevent Shrek Academy from seizing any resources!
Three or four hours later, the troop led by Cai Yue'er had already entered Ming City, but upon sensing with her Soul Power, she suddenly found that the area of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy had no life presence...
Frowning slightly, she said, "How can I not sense the aura of any Soul Masters? Could it be... Quick, everyone, rush to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy immediately!"
Upon truly arriving, what greeted them was an entirely empty academy!
The teachers each set out to investigate their surroundings, but when they returned, their expressions were unspeakably grim...
One of the teachers clenched his teeth and said, "Academy President Cai, all the students and teachers of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy have already evacuated ahead of time. It seems that our movements have been exposed!"
Another teacher nodded and said, "Yes, I just checked. All the resources in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy have been destroyed. That is to say, this place is now nothing but ruins! There's nothing of use left."
"To go to such lengths to protect those three people, to the point of abandoning the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy! Have their heads been kicked by a donkey?"
"Having left Ming City, where can they possibly go? They're truly seeking their own demise!"
"Academy President Cai, what should we do now? Should we continue the pursuit?"
Cai Yue'er was visibly unsettled, and after a few seconds of silence, she finally answered, "There's no need. If they can abandon an academy, finding them will not be easy!"
"Everyone, return the way we came!"
...
Holy Spirit Cult!
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, a smile crept onto Hades' lips. "It seems like it's a double celebration. Not only has that legion chosen to join our Holy Spirit Cult, but the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy has come to us as well!"
"Though their strength is not formidable, even the smallest ant is meat."
He had always thought that to bring that legion into the fold of the Holy Spirit Cult would require a battle between the high-level powers of both sides; however, unexpectedly, the legion leader had wisely agreed to become a subsidiary of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Kneeling on the ground, an evil Soul Master asked quietly, "Vice Sect Hierarch, how should we handle them?"
This question prompted Hades to give him a cold look. "Handle them? Do you think they are guests?"
Now that they have come to the Holy Spirit Cult, everything was beyond their control!
The body of the evil Soul Master shuddered involuntarily, then he said with trepidation, "Yes... Vice Sect Hierarch, I know what to do!"
After speaking, he bowed slightly and then turned to leave...
Hades glanced at the Ghost Emperor merged with the shadows and inquired, "Sect Hierarch, what do you think?"
The Ghost Emperor spoke indifferently, "The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy merely seeks the protection of our Holy Spirit Cult! But the Holy Spirit Cult is not a place where one can come and go as they please!"
After converting a Soul Master into an evil Soul Master, their strength generally makes a breakthrough! Hence, the Soul Douluo and Soul Sage caliber of Soul Masters, once converted, still make for considerable fighting forces!
After a pause, he continued, "As for that legion... their peaceful agreement might conceal other sinister plans, but it does not matter. Let the evil Soul Masters infiltrate and quietly erode them from the inside!"
Hades praised, "As expected of the Sect Hierarch, truly sagacious!"
The Ghost Emperor's tone was mocking, "Sagacious? I instead think you are quite loyal to the Demon Emperor!"
Hades was taken aback and confusedly said, "Sect Hierarch, what do you mean by that?"
Why did it feel like the Sect Hierarch was particularly displeased when bringing up the Demon Emperor?
The Ghost Emperor coldly "hmphed" and did not offer any explanation...
