Chapter 1296: Falling into the Trap! (Seeking Subscriptions)_1
Shen Yi's expression changed drastically as she exclaimed in shock, "What? A hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Doesn't that mean my senior brother is..."
No matter how strong Wu Changkong was, he was no match for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Xu Sheng offered a slight smile and soothed, "Don't worry, Teacher Wu won't have any issues. Besides, the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the far northern lands are extremely rare, and it's not certain that he will encounter one!"
If Wu Changkong were to fall in the far northern lands, even after she had intervened to save him,
then it could only be said that it was his destiny to face such a calamity!
Shen Yi's countenance eased somewhat as she prayed, "I hope so..."
After a pause, as if she remembered something, she fixed her gaze on Xu Sheng and said, "Right, Xu Sheng, I will also take part in this mission to exterminate the evil Soul Master base!"
For some reason, the only instruction her teacher gave her for this extermination mission was to stay by Xu Sheng's side and, incidentally, to observe his actions!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's tone held a hint of teasing as he replied, "Oh? Would Turbid World Senior allow it?"
Shen Yi rolled her eyes, "Don't look down on me, okay? Even though I don't particularly enjoy battling evil Soul Masters, I've still taken part in quite a few of their extermination operations!"
Not only that, but dozens of evil Soul Masters have died by her hand!
Xu Sheng was taken aback, "Really? Then I have underestimated you, Teacher Shen!"
In the era he had once lived in, evil Soul Masters were not common, most were hidden within Slaughter City...
Shen Yi boasted with undeniable pride, "Of course. But tomorrow, if we encounter a powerful evil Soul Master, I will need Teacher Xu's help to protect this weak woman here,"
The latter part of her sentence was said in such a way that it was impossible to tell if she was joking or not...
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly as he said with a light smile, "Of course, then tomorrow, Teacher Shen must stay close to me."
...
The next day, Xu Chen and several dozen teachers from Shrek Academy had all gathered in front of Sea God's Pavilion...
And standing before them with hands behind his back was none other than the Sea God Pavilion Master, Yun Ming!
Yun Ming's murky eyes emitted a commanding presence, difficult for anyone to look straight into, as he calmly stated, "As teachers of Shrek Academy, everyone present has the responsibility to eradicate evil Soul Masters!"
"Yesterday, our academy's students discovered a sizable base of evil Soul Masters. Thus, today's target is to annihilate them!"
It was faintly visible that every teacher's expression grew more solemn, apart from Xu Sheng!
Because in this battle, any one of them present might lose their precious life!
After pausing for a few seconds, Yun Ming spoke again, "Now, does anyone wish to withdraw?"
Uttering the words "withdraw" would allow them to opt out of this operation, but they would also lose their position as teachers at Shrek Academy!
One male teacher decisively declared, "Eradicating evil Soul Masters is our duty! How can we possibly retreat here!"
Another female teacher nodded and said, "That's right. From the moment I took on the role of teacher at Shrek Academy, I have been at odds with evil Soul Masters!"
Shen Yi also spoke with a grave expression, "Even if it costs my life, we must completely eliminate these conscienceless evil Soul Masters!"
Seeing no trace of fear on anyone's face, Yun Ming was quite gratified, "Very well, it seems all the teachers are prepared to lay down their lives at any moment. However, I still hope that each one of you returns safely!"
"Now, depart immediately!"
In an instant, all the teachers activated their Mechas and swiftly left Shrek Academy...
Observing this scene, Yun Ming's murky eyes flickered a few times...
After taking a deep breath, he silently mused, "Everyone, you all must come back alive!"
...
At this moment, at the evil Soul Master's base!
One evil Soul Master clad in a black robe, whose face was shrouded in shadows, spoke darkly, "The message we deliberately leaked has reached Shrek Academy. It won't take long before they send teachers to exterminate us."
Another evil Soul Master licked his lips, saying cruelly, "Isn't that perfect? This time, we will certainly kill them all! Let Shrek Academy taste what it's like to be hunted!"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, surely those old fogeys at Shrek Academy must think that we only have Soul Masters below the level of a Soul Sage,"
"Hahaha, doesn't that mean we've already won the battle before it even started?"
"Not necessarily. If Shrek Academy sends an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion to lead the team, it will still be very troublesome to obliterate them!"
The evil Soul Masters conversing were just the tip of the iceberg of the stronghold!!
If one were to look down from above, they would find the entire stronghold swarmed with a scalp-tingling density of dark shadows!
Besides, there were also two evil Soul Masters wearing reddish-brown robes, emanating a horrifying pressure...
Their soul power ranks had reached level 94 and 95 Titled Douluo, respectively!
Clearly, they were the masterminds behind the gathering of these evil Soul Masters!
The Hyper Douluo on the left, looking at his withered palm, sneered, "Finally, I've stepped into the realm of a Hyper Douluo. It's just perfect to celebrate with these teachers from Shrek Academy."
To become a Hyper Douluo, he had absorbed the blood and souls of countless people!
The evil Soul Master on the right, one step away from becoming a Hyper Douluo, glanced at him coldly and warned, "Humph, just be careful not to end up celebrating too early and getting completely wiped out by them!"
Revealing the stronghold's information to Shrek Academy was a huge risk!
Once any hint of them was discovered, the only outcome would be an onslaught by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
The two of them alone couldn't possibly withstand it!
"Rest assured, this time, the people from Shrek Academy are doomed with no chance of survival!!"
...
About half an hour later, Xu Sheng and the teachers from Shrek Academy had arrived very close to their destination!
The leading teacher spoke up, "The evil Soul Masters' stronghold is not far ahead, everyone be careful!"
As these words fell, the other teachers nodded one after another, and then deactivated their Mechas, descending from the sky to the ground...
Although Mechas possessed impressive defensive and offensive capabilities, they were quite cumbersome. Using them against evil Soul Masters was not a wise choice!
After deactivating his Mecha, Xu Sheng swept his gaze around...
Without any hesitation, he unleashed his Divine Power, spreading it out into the surroundings...
When he perceived the presence of a large number of evil Soul Masters around, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes...
It seemed that this eradication mission must have been orchestrated by these evil Soul Masters!
Seeing no action from the former, Shen Yi gently tapped her and asked in confusion, "Teacher Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Sheng came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing much, Teacher Shen, remember to stick close to me."
With that, he caught up with the pace of the other teachers...
Shen Yi remained stunned for several seconds before coming to her senses...
Blankly she said, "Eh... eh???"
Did Xu Sheng just... show concern for her?
Thinking of this possibility, her lips unconsciously curled up into a smile...
It seems she had misunderstood him all along; how could such a perfect man possibly be an evil Soul Master?
