Chapter 1371: Thorough Investigation (Please Subscribe)_1
Upon arriving at a secluded spot in Shrek Academy, Yuanen Yehui cautiously scanned her surroundings...
She spoke out, "Teacher Xu, are you there?"
However, the eerily quiet area offered no response to her inquiry...
Just then, a middle-aged man approached from not far away...
The newcomer turned out to be a teacher from Shrek Academy, who looked at Yuanen Yehui with a puzzled face...
"What are you doing here so late at night without resting, student?"
Yuanen Yehui was startled, realizing she hadn't noticed him before, "I... I came looking for Teacher Xu. By the way, have you seen Teacher Xu?"
The teacher's eyes flickered slightly and he pointed ahead, "Oh, Teacher Xu, he just went that way..."
Yuanen Yehui sighed in relief and gratefully said, "Thank you, teacher!"
As she turned to leave, the teacher behind her revealed a chilling smile, with a sinister black aura emanating from his body...
He charged at her like a specter, his hand cloaked in black mist reaching for her neck...
Yuanen Yehui, sensing something was amiss, quickly turned around, only to find the middle-aged man already diving towards her...
Even if she wanted to run, it was too late...
She was abruptly seized by the throat, and an endless stream of black energy surged into her body...
Yuanen Yehui, her mind beginning to blur, gritted her teeth and said, "Who... who are you?"
Wasn't he a teacher at Shrek Academy? Why would he attack her?
And this immense aura of evil...
The middle-aged man sneered, "Me? Of course, I am a teacher at the academy!"
One of Yuanen Yehui's Martial Souls was the top-tier Evil Martial Soul, Fallen Angel. If she were to become a pawn for the Holy Spirit Cult, she could potentially offer them an unexpected advantage in the future!
That was why, risking discovery, he had lured her out to seize her!
Under the influence of these dark energies, Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes gradually became dull...
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who had stayed hidden in the shadows, made his measured entrance, smiling, "I say, it's a bit unsuitable for a great Soul Sage like you to treat a student this way, isn't it?"
The Holy Spirit Cult making a move against Yuanen Yehui was beyond his expectations...
Although she had shown considerable strength in combat, she was only a Soul Ancestor!
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, exclaiming, "Who?"
Hastily tossing Yuanen Yehui aside, he fixed his gaze on the suddenly appearing Xu Sheng...
He hadn't expected anyone else to be around at this late hour!
He had to kill him quickly so that his identity would not be revealed!
With that thought, he released his Martial Soul without hesitation. A massive skeleton engulfed in black flames materialized behind him, looking like a revenant emerging from Hell...
Seven Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet...
Xu Sheng, unmoved, said, "It seems you're not just a teacher at Shrek Academy but also an evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and retorted harshly, "Since you've discovered my identity, you can no longer be spared."
Fourth soul skill, Undead Flamethrower!
As the words fell, the skeleton standing behind him quickly opened its jaws, revealing its ghastly teeth...
Immediately after, its blood-red eyes locked onto Xu Sheng, spewing forth an immense black blaze, sweeping towards him with an all-encompassing might...
If struck, both body and soul would suffer irreversible damage!
Xu Sheng's mouth curved into an arc as he casually waved his hand. In front of him, it seemed an invisible barrier had appeared, cutting off the flames...
The middle-aged man opposite him said in shock, "What! Without even releasing his Martial Soul, he blocked my attack with his bare hands!"
A tinge of fear silently rose within him...
Yuanen Yehui, who had regained some consciousness on the side, was surprised to see this, her beautiful eyes flickering with amazement...
Teacher Xu is so strong!
Although they were both Soul Sages, he could effortlessly block these flames!
Xu Sheng said indifferently, "Do you have any other moves? If not, I'll be taking your life!"
Originally, he had turned a blind eye to those from the Holy Spirit Cult hidden within Shrek Academy, but now, it seemed there was no need to hold back!
The next second, the Divine Power he radiated directly sealed off the space...
The middle-aged man, feeling his limbs bound, said in terror, "You... what have you done, why... why can't I move!"
The space around him seemed to have become restricted, suppressing his Soul Power and leaving his body completely immobile!
His thoughts of escaping were now thoroughly dashed!
Xu Sheng did not explain, merely approaching step by step. He reached out and grasped the man's neck before suddenly squeezing tightly...
With a "bang," the man's neck and everything below it were torn apart, a crimson Blood Fog spilling out instantly, staining the ground with several streaks of blood...
Only a bald head remained, falling to the ground with a faint sound...
Staring at the scene, Yuanen Yehui was completely stunned, saying in disbelief, "Dead... is he dead?"
The evil Soul Master, who just moments ago was full of bluster, couldn't last even a minute in Teacher Xu's hands!
It was an instant kill!
Only then did Xu Sheng turn his gaze to Yuanen Yehui. He gently rubbed her head and asked tenderly, "Ye Hui, are you alright?"
In reality, he was using Divine Power to cleanse the evil aura the evil Soul Master had infused into her body...
Yuanen Yehui, gradually coming to her senses, shook her head and said, "Teacher Xu, I... I'm fine."
But the faint traces of fear on her cheeks were still clearly observed by Xu Sheng...
Changing the subject, he said, "Good, you're fine. But why did you come here alone? Shrek Academy is not as safe as you think."
Yuanen Yehui was taken aback for a moment and asked in confusion, "Teacher Xu? Wasn't it you who called me here? I came because I heard your voice!"
Hearing this, the situation became clear...
The evil Soul Master must have mimicked his voice to lure Yuanen Yehui out...
After a brief explanation, he said softly, "Ye Hui, you will sleep in my place tonight to prevent the evil Soul Master from targeting you again!"
As these words fell, Yuanen Yehui's mind went blank, and a delicate flush appeared on her cheeks as she said shyly, "Yes... Teacher Xu."
Although she didn't know the reason, what Teacher Xu said was definitely right!
...
The next day, Sea God's Pavilion!
All the Elders looked at the evil Soul Master's head on the table, their faces somewhat somber...
Elder Cai said coldly, "The Holy Spirit Cult now dares to openly act against our students at Shrek Academy. We cannot let this go! The Academy must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Yes, we must uproot the evil Soul Masters from within the Academy. Otherwise, sooner or later, they will do something that endangers it!"
"I agree as well. We can no longer indulge these evil Soul Masters who prey on our students! Otherwise, where is the dignity of our Sea God's Pavilion!"
