"Teacher Ye, it's mainly because of what that old hag said just now; it was too provocative!"
Before Ye Feng could speak, Su Liuli said.
"Yeah, that person was clearly asking for directions, but it felt like we owed her money, making us inexplicably uncomfortable."
Pang Xing also couldn't help but complain.
They certainly didn't have Ye Zhiqu's patience.
If someone had dumped a bowl of soup on their heads, they would hardly be able to keep their cool.
Let alone them, wouldn't they explode?
"Alas, you're still young and don't understand some things."
Seeing that almost everyone from Canghui Academy was defending Ye Feng, Ye Zhiqu shook his head slightly.
He knew that if the conversation continued, it might reflect poorly on him.
He simply ended the topic.
"Ye Senior, if we really can't find a suitable Soul Ring, shall we head deeper inside?" Luo Shuiyi said to Ye Feng.
She knew that Ye Feng wanted to find a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
And now, in this most outer area, there are hardly any ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
If they were to go deeper, the chances would be greater.
"Yes, it is indeed difficult to find ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the outer area, but there may be dangers ahead if we go further. That's why I asked if any of you didn't want to continue going deeper. If so, you can go back first."
Just then, Ye Zhiqu spoke first.
Seeing this, Ye Feng didn't say much.
After all, what the other person said was reasonable.
Seeking ten-thousand-year soul beasts is indeed somewhat dangerous.
He couldn't possibly lead everyone to take the risk, could he?
If there were an accident, it would be difficult to take care of everyone.
"I won't leave; I want to stay with Ye Senior!"
Su Liuli was the first to express her stance.
Then came Luo Shuiyi.
One by one, the others stood up as well.
Not a single person chose to leave.
After all, almost all the Soul Rings they needed this time were thanks to Ye Feng, the eldest senior brother.
Now that it was his turn to search for a Soul Ring, how could they back down?
Everyone was a Soul Elder, and although ten-thousand-year soul beasts are terrifying, they could still help as much as they could.
"Actually, if anyone wants to go back, then go back. After all, you've already found the Soul Rings you need to advance," Ye Feng said.
"Ye Feng Senior, we won't go back. You helped us find Soul Rings before, and now we should help you. We may not be able to help much, but we can still do some little tasks," someone in the crowd said.
Their eyes were determined.
"This..."
Ye Zhiqu didn't expect everyone to be so united.
And all chose to stay.
"Well then, let's go together, Director Ye, one in front and one behind," Ye Feng said, looking at Ye Zhiqu.
"Yeah, okay," Ye Zhiqu shrugged helplessly.
Since no one was willing to leave, he couldn't very well drive them away.
As Soul Elders, unless they encountered a very powerful ten-thousand-year soul beast, the chances of surviving were still very high.
And so, Canghui Academy's Ye Zhiqu in front and Ye Feng behind proceeded deeper into the forest.
They walked for about half an hour.
Suddenly, Ye Zhiqu in front stopped.
"What's the matter, Teacher Ye?" Pang Xing asked from behind Ye Zhiqu.
"There seems to be some movement ahead."
Ye Zhiqu signaled everyone to slow down.
"Movement?"
Everyone slowed down, holding their breath to listen.
The whole forest became exceptionally silent in that moment.
"It's the sound of people talking; we must have encountered that Granny Snake again," Ye Feng said from behind.
"Granny Snake? Could it be that old hag from before?" Su Liuli's eyes narrowed.
She did not have a good impression of that old woman.
"Everyone, listen up, we're taking another route!"
When Ye Zhiqu heard it was indeed Granny Snake's voice, he felt a bit suffocated!
He feared that before him were the Dragon Lord and Snake Granny.
So, the best move in the thirty-six strategies was to retreat.
He took a different path to avoid conflict.
Mainly because among the team, he was the only Soul King.
Xiaofeng's combat power was still quite impressive, and if he revealed all his cards, he could basically be considered on equal footing with him, effectively a second Soul King.
However, it was questionable whether the two of them could withstand a Soul Emperor, let alone a Soul Douluo.
"Since you've come, then show yourselves!"
"Boom—"
The lush jungle was ravaged by a violent wind.
In the next second, the trees and leaves blocking Canghui Academy's people were blasted into pieces.
"It's you guys!!"
There were a total of ten people before them.
Shrek plus eight others including Zhao Wuji, and Granny Snake along with her granddaughter Meng Yiran.
At this moment, the fatty looked at the people from Canghui Academy with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Don't bother with them, let's go!"
Ye Feng spoke up.
It was supposed to be Shrek and the Meng family fighting over the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake, he did not want to get involved.
And moreover, he did not think much of this low-end Soul Ring.
"Stop!!"
Granny Snake had spoken!
She leaned on her walking stick, approaching the people from Canghui Academy step by step.
Her eyes were full of rage.
Just moments ago, the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake had ended up making a bridal dress for others.
It was directly taken by those from Shrek Academy.
And all of this was because of these people from Canghui Academy.
If they hadn't obstructed her, how could the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake they finally hunted despite its injuries, become someone else's Soul Ring!
There was no opportunity to settle the score before.
Now, she was ready to settle this account clearly!
Granny Snake Chaotian Xiang seemed to be certain about something.
Of course, the most important thing was that because of Zhao Wuji's presence, she was put at a disadvantage, whereas the strongest from Canghui Academy was merely Ye Zhiqu.
Just a level 52 Soul King.
Could she, a level 70 peak Soul Emperor, not handle him?
She had ample confidence.
If the fighting noise attracted her husband, the Dragon Lord, Zhao Wuji, and his party would all have to die!
"Granny Snake, may I know what the matter is?"
Ye Zhiqu looked at Granny Snake with a smile full of apology.
What a mess.
Not only had they encountered Granny Snake, but they also ran into that bunch from Shrek Academy.
The last time, it was only because Xiaofeng made some moves that they managed to escape.
Otherwise, if the level 76 Soul Sage Zhao Wuji made a move, it would be a disaster.
"Hand over that boy, if it wasn't for him wasting our time just now and being a harbinger of bad luck, how could our Soul Ring have been taken by others!"
Chaotian Xiang glared at Ye Feng.
Next to her, Meng Yiran was also seething with anger!!
"???"
All members from Canghui Academy heard this and were filled with question marks!
Brother Ye Feng wasted your time?
If you'd asked for directions a bit more nicely, would those things have happened?
Besides, Brother Ye told you and your granddaughter the direction in which the snake fled!
Otherwise, you might have had to wait until someone else finished absorbing it before you could find the place!
And yet, she's playing the blame game.
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen someone as thick-skinned as this old granny!
How could there be such bizarre people in this world!
And that bit about the harbinger of bad luck.
Are they sure they're not joking?
I'm fed up with this person!
Ye Feng at the back remained silent.
Because he knew Ye Zhiqu would handle it.
"Granny Snake, this gentleman is our assistant teacher at Canghui Academy, if there was any offense before, we hope for your forgiveness."
Ye Zhiqu said.
