Chapter 1432 The Signal to Start the War (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

The Agility Hall Master nodded in agreement, "Elder Cai, you're absolutely right, but the destruction of the Tang Sect is an unimaginable blow to the disciples. I'm afraid it's highly unlikely that they can focus exclusively on locating the Holy Spirit Cult right now!"

After a pause, he added, "Disciples of the Tang Sect have always valued their emotions deeply. It won't be easy for them to step out of this shadow without some time."

However, in his opinion, as long as the disciples of the Tang Sect were still alive, then the Tang Sect had not truly been destroyed!

This was also precisely why they could recover swiftly from the setback...

Cai Yue'er was stunned for a moment before pondering for a few seconds...

Then she spoke with a hesitant tone, "If that's the case, what do you think about temporarily integrating the Tang Sect disciples into Shrek Academy?"

To say such a thing now would seem a bit like taking advantage of their vulnerability!

But taking in the sectless disciples of the Tang Sect into Shrek Academy was indeed the best choice!

The Power Hall Master decisively shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Elder Cai, we understand your intentions, but integrating into Shrek Academy under these circumstances is impossible!"

The Agility Hall Master chimed in, "Yes, joining Shrek Academy in this situation would be tantamount to betraying the sect!"

This would be a grave disrespect according to the sect rules of the Tang Sect!

Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er's face displayed several traces of disappointment, "I see... then let's drop the subject, alas..."

If the Tang Sect disciples could be temporarily integrated into Shrek Academy, then their overall strength might not even be much weaker than during their peak time!

But just as the two Hall Masters said, convincing these disciples to willingly join was virtually impossible!

As the three of them were at a loss, an outwardly flustered outer courtyard student nearly sprinted up to them...

After catching his breath, he urgently said, "Elder Cai, both Hall Masters, it seems like someone has just led a large group of Soul Masters clad in Tang Sect attire over here!"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the Agility Hall Master shrank. He instinctively grabbed the student's shoulders, excitedly asking, "What? Disciples in Tang Sect attire? Could it be that..."

The Power Hall Master joyfully said, "It's highly possible that the Sect Leader had the majority of the disciples evacuate before the Tang Sect was destroyed!"

Cai Yue'er's beautiful eyes twinkled, "Then let's go take a look right now. If they are indeed the Tang Sect disciples who survived the soul cannonball, then that's wonderful!"

Thereupon, the group made their way to the entrance of Shrek Academy!

And sure enough, they could see clearly those numerous Tang Sect disciples with sadness on their faces and red-rimmed eyes...

Liang Xiaoyu and Zhao Song immediately went over and anxiously asked, "Hu Jie, Li Yunzhe! What happened to just the two of you, where are the others!"

Hu Jie, who had been somewhat excited upon seeing familiar faces, dropped his head slightly after hearing the question, clutching his fist as he said, "Apart from us and the disciples behind, the Sect Leader and the others have all..."

Even though he did not finish his sentence, everything was made clear...

Li Yunzhe closed his eyes, and tears trickled from the corners as he choked up, "The Sect Leader... he must have anticipated the attack on the Tang Sect and ordered us to lead the disciples outside of the Soul Guidance Hall to escape beforehand!"

"But they themselves..."

After hearing the two men's words, Zhao Song and Liang Xiaoyu let out a sigh of cold air, and a strong surge of anger welled up within them...

If they only knew the exact location of the Holy Spirit Cult, they would be desperate to immediately lead the Tang Sect disciples into battle!

Cai Yue'er, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up, interrupting, "Gentlemen, standing here isn't solving anything. Let's first have the disciples go inside the academy."

...

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who was gazing up at the sky, had his dark eyes filled with contemplation...

He spoke calmly, "After such a long period of peace, is the real war finally about to begin?"

He reflected on the fact that nothing significant enough to affect the whole Continent had occurred since his arrival in the Lower Realm!

And now, the annihilation of the Tang Sect was undoubtedly the signal for the war's onset!

While he was lost in thought, the ethereal voice of Shen Yi reached his ears, "Xu Sheng, what are you doing standing here? Are you daydreaming?"

Xu Sheng glanced to the side and saw Shen Yi, dressed like a fairy from the heavens...

Then, he shook his head and said, "Just thinking about some things. Why? Is there something you need from me?"

Shen Yi pouted and said in a resentful tone, "Can't I come to find you if there's nothing wrong?"

Having finally taken care of the tasks entrusted by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi left the academy again!

This was the perfect moment for her to be alone with Xu Sheng!

Her previous invitations had all been disrupted by unforeseeable accidents, but this time, there must be no mishaps!

Xu Sheng revealed a small smile, "Of course, you can, but not right now!"

These words left Shen Yi choked up and confused, "What do you mean by that, Xu Sheng?"

Could it be that he had grown tired of her?

Xu Sheng stretched, saying leisurely, "To put it simply, I'm about to leave the academy for a bit!"

Shen Yi's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, "Leave the academy? That's perfect, we can go together!"

She had dressed up so extravagantly today just for this purpose!

Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Oh? The place I'm going is extremely dangerous, are you sure?"

Feeling an insatiable thirst, Shen Yi immediately waved her hands to show she didn't mind, "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere!"

However, Xu Sheng's next sentence made her entire body tremble as if petrified...

"I'm going to the Holy Spirit Cult!"

If one listened carefully, they could even hear the sound of a heart breaking...

Having snapped back to reality, Shen Yi forced a cheerful smile, "The Holy... Holy Spirit Cult? Xu Sheng, you're not joking, are you?"

Xu Sheng didn't deny it but reached out to rub her head and soothed her gently, "Hmm, it was just a joke!"

Shen Yi then breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks flushing deeply as she said, "Whew, you scared me. I really thought you were planning to go to the Holy Spirit Cult!"

But then again, the Tang Sect had sent so many disciples to scout, and none had come back with even a hint of information about the Holy Spirit Cult!

How could Xu Sheng, who had been staying in the academy, possibly know anything about it!

Immediately after, a glimmer of hope sparked in her eyes again, "Xu Sheng, can we then..."

Anticipating what she was about to say, Xu Sheng interrupted, "Shen Yi, I have things to do right now! I'll be leaving first."

With those words, he stepped away and left...

Perhaps, he really should find an opportunity to clarify things with Shen Yi once and for all!

Allowing her to hold onto hope was only adding to her pain...

But for now, it was time to meet the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult!

Watching him walk away without any hesitation, Shen Yi, who was still in a daze, snapped out of it and stamped her foot in frustration, clenching her teeth, "He always brushes me off like this! It drives me crazy!"

But I am the White-haired Witch, and I will never give up!

Shen Yi, keep it up!
