However, considering that Tang Wulin was the Pavilion Master of Sea God's Pavilion, Yue Zhengyu had no choice but to launch the attack...
Throughout the Soul Fighting Area, there were bursts of miserable screams...
And standing within Sea God's Pavilion, overlooking the situation in the Soul Fighting Area, Cai Yue'er couldn't help feeling some heartache...
She couldn't refrain from saying, "Wulin's hellish training really seems a bit too much, even our time on Demon Island probably wasn't this cruel!"
Elder Ya'li nodded slightly, "Indeed, but I think Wulin is doing this for the students' sake. He probably doesn't want the incident that happened back then at Shrek Academy to recur!"
Back then, the invasion of evil Soul Masters almost wiped out all the teachers and students...
Such a tragic cost couldn't be afforded again!
Cai Yue'er clenched her fists, "Besides, Wulin probably doesn't know the price you pay for reviving a Soul Master..."
Although it seems inconspicuous, with the increasing number of times, the cost is also very heavy!
However, Elder Ya'li responded with a relaxed smile, "It's okay, Elder Cai; to be able to contribute to the future of the academy, spending some of my lifespan is nothing!"
Yes, in order to revive a Soul Master who had just died, it would cost her some of her lifespan!
And the reason she was able to revive so many Soul Masters in the battlegrounds back then, was all thanks to the Martial Soul of the Wishing Angel, otherwise she would have fallen because of it!
Cai Yue'er did not continue on this topic and asked again, "By the way, Elder Ya'li, how is Yun Ming...?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ya'li took out the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear from her storage soul tool...
After gently caressing it, she sighed, "Yun Ming's condition is very unstable, his soul could disperse at any moment!"
Cai Yue'er exclaimed, "What? His soul could disperse at any time? Why would that happen!"
For so many years, Yun Ming's soul had been well-preserved within the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear!
But suddenly, they said it was about to disperse. This was naturally difficult for anyone to accept!
Elder Ya'li explained patiently, "Because the Life Force that Xu Sheng originally infused into the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear is almost exhausted!"
"As a result, it's difficult to continue to maintain Yun Ming's soul!"
"Life Force is running out, then let's find more..."
She stopped speaking halfway, as she abruptly closed her mouth...
It was clearly understood that this was simply impossible!
Because Xu Sheng and the Abyssal Emperor both plunged into a black hole, leaving absolutely no trace...
However, it wasn't long before she said again, "Wait, I remember that Wulin and the others went to the battleground ruins precisely to find Life Force, and reportedly, they have acquired it!"
Elder Ya'li didn't deny it, "Mm, Elder Cai, you're right. It's just that the Life Force is currently in Gu Yue's hands!"
Cai Yue'er spoke excitedly, "If that's the case, then let's head over to the Spirit Pagoda and ask Gu Yue to use the Life Force to save Yun Ming!"
However, Elder Ya'li firmly refused, "No, that Life Force is meant to be used against the Ghost Emperor. If used on Yun Ming, it could potentially lead to a future defeat!
She wanted to save Yun Ming more than anyone, but looking at the bigger picture of the entire world, she couldn't do so!
Cai Yue'er fell silent, "This..."
Elder Ya'li paused for a moment, then unexpectedly said, "Moreover, this is also Yun Ming's own decision, so I think we should respect it!"
As she finished speaking, the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear emitted a faint glow...
Cai Yue'er took a deep look at the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear and nodded, "I understand. Since it's Yun Ming's decision, no amount of words can change that!"
She knew Yun Ming's character all too well; he would never tolerate using Life Force meant to confront the Ghost Emperor to save himself!

"With such an outcome, even if the soul could remain, it wouldn't feel joy..."
Just then, Yuanen Yehui and Yuan En Zhentian entered Sea God's Pavilion...
This immediately caught the attention of Cai Yue'er and Elder Ya'li...
The former was the first to speak up, "Ye Hui, Elder Yuan'en, where did you go today? Why have you returned to the academy only now?"
Although it was a question, there was no hint of pressure in it...
Yuanen Yehui glanced at Yuan En Zhentian and casually replied, "Elder Cai, Elder Ya'li, my grandfather and I made a trip back to the original settlement of the Yuan En Clan!"
Cai Yue'er said with a look of surprise, "Oh? Are the members of the Yuan En Clan still there?"
Initially, Yuan En Zhentian had only led almost half of the clan to join Shrek Academy, leaving the other half at the original location!
Yuanen Yehui shook his head, "The remaining clanspeople have already moved away from the original location, perhaps to avoid being disturbed by the outside world."
Yuan En Zhentian also showed a hint of shame...
The reason for moving was probably because they heard the news of Shrek Academy's downfall, wasn't it!
Cai Yue'er could only sigh, "I see... perhaps it was the right choice!"
Elder Ya'li seemed to have realized something, but did not voice it...
Instead, she agreed, "Indeed, making such a decision for the safety of the clanspeople must have been well-considered!"
Seeing this, Yuanen Yehui interrupted, "Elder Cai, Elder Ya'li, let's not talk about this topic anymore."
This visit to Spirit Pagoda and the Yuan En Clan's settlement has taken a toll on my grandfather's state of mind!
It would be best not to bring up these matters for now!
...
Gazing at the sky veiled by gloom, the Ghost Emperor sitting on his throne couldn't help but sneer, "Soul Land has been so peaceful recently, it's quite curious!"
In his view, after turning all the soul masters of the Douling Empire into evil Soul Masters, he thought the forces of Soul Land would act quickly!
However, up to now, nothing had happened!
They just sent some small fry to gather intelligence!!
The other Evil Soul Masters, hearing this, also chimed in, "Sect Hierarch, those guys certainly don't dare to make a move against us now, since everyone in the Douling Empire is on our side!"
"Exactly, ever since receiving the Sect Hierarch's grace, my power has become extremely formidable, those ants will just die if they come!!"
"They're very aware that they can't possibly stand against our Holy Spirit Cult!!"
"Just a bunch of ants. In front of the Sect Hierarch, who is about to become a God, they can be slain with a flick of the wrist!!"
Meanwhile, the Demon Emperor snorted coldly from not far away...
"These fools, knowing only the strength they've gained from the Ghost Emperor, are completely unaware of what they've given up!"
Others might not know, but she was very aware that those who accepted the Ghost Emperor's grace as evil Soul Masters would have greatly reduced lifespans!
Living for a few more years would be a luxury!!
The Ghost Emperor, noticing this, glanced at her, "Demon Emperor, it seems you have a different opinion?"
Returning to reality, the Demon Emperor said expressionlessly, "Sect Hierarch jests, the strength of Soul Land's soul masters certainly cannot match yours!!"
