"Sect Master, are we still going to Shrek Academy?"

An elder cautiously approached the furious Du Busi and asked.

If he hadn't asked, it might have been fine, but the question only stoked Du Busi's rage further.

He barked harshly, "The hell with Shrek Academy! The truth is out in the open, and we still don't know who to settle accounts with?!"

Then, Du Busi turned to Jin Peng and said, "Old Jin, give the order—mobilize every resource in the sect to find any leads on the Holy Spirit Cult!! If you find anyone connected to them, kill them on the spot. That damned Evil Soul Master organization deserves a thousand cuts, and even that would be letting them off easy!!"

The thought of the truth behind his elder brother's battle with Mu En filled Du Busi with grief, which quickly transformed into blazing fury.

If it weren't for that accursed woman, his brother would still be alive and well, maybe even a Limit Douluo like Mu En.

But there was no "if," so Du Busi vowed to repay that pain tenfold to the damned Holy Spirit Cult.

Ye Xishui was a Limit Douluo, and the Body Sect couldn't take her on;

but anyone else from the Holy Spirit Cult, once found, was as good as dead.

The Body Sect had always walked the line between righteous and wicked, fiercely protective of its own, and rarely thought through the consequences of its actions.

It was only because, thousands of years ago, they had hunted too many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, triggering a terrifying Beast Tide;

and then they were defeated by the Sea God Pavilion formed by Shrek Academy, that they had obediently gone into hiding.

That was why Body Sect disciples were rarely seen in the world, and the sect had become so mysterious.

Now, they could use the excuse that Evil Soul Masters deserved death at anyone's hands to avenge the former sect master, Du Bisi.

At this point, someone might ask:

Du Bisi was lured there by Ye Xishui, but in the end, he died at Mu En's hands.

Well, there was no helping it. One reason was that they were outmatched; another was that Shrek Academy was too strong, and the Body Sect couldn't afford to provoke them.

"Yes, Sect Master." Second Elder Jin Peng immediately replied.

He, too, held deep respect for Du Bisi, his elder brother.

Now that the truth was known, given the Body Sect's style, they had to go and take bloody revenge!

"Sect Master, should we mobilize the Heaven Dou Empire's forces?" another elder asked.

The Body Sect was located in a natural chasm within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory, secretly serving as its Guardian Sect, with deep ties to the empire.

For instance, the current Princess Veena of the Heaven Dou Empire had Twin Martial Souls, one of which was the Body Martial Soul Brain, making her a disciple of the Body Sect.

"I'll negotiate with the Heaven Dou Empire myself!" Du Busi snorted, his eyes full of scheming.

Don't misunderstand—his harsh attitude was aimed at the Holy Spirit Cult and Ye Xishui, not the Heaven Dou Empire.

Though Du Busi was usually overconfident in himself and the Body Sect's strength, even to the point of stubborn arrogance, he rarely lost his head over matters of this magnitude.

With a Limit Douluo like Ye Xishui backing the Holy Spirit Cult, the Body Sect's strength alone couldn't take them down.

As for the other Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao, being the Holy Spirit Cult's Chief Grand Supplicant, Du Busi didn't care. After all, the Heavenly Curtain had exposed the truth.

If, even after all that, Long Xiaoyao was still willing to work for Ye Xishui and the Holy Spirit Cult, then Du Busi thought this once-renowned Limit Douluo might as well go smash his head against a block of tofu—he was too much of a disgrace to the strong.

No matter how much hidden strength the Holy Spirit Cult possessed, it couldn't change the fact that it was an Evil Soul Master organization!

Every force on the continent had only one stance toward Evil Soul Masters: exterminate them all!

Now that such a massive Evil Soul Master organization had surfaced, Shrek Academy and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms would all act immediately.

What the Body Sect needed to do was push these forces to cooperate, pooling their strength to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult was an Evil Soul Master organization, and Du Busi believed no force could stay neutral.

Yes, to avenge the former sect master Du Bisi, even someone like Du Busi would use the greater good as a pretext to drive this forward.

If he could, Du Busi would naturally want to rely on himself and the Body Sect alone to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult and avenge his brother.

But unfortunately, their strength didn't allow it.

With a Level 99 Limit Douluo at its helm and unknown reserves of power accumulated over the years, even the Body Sect had to bide its time and rely on the continent's combined might to destroy them.

In truth, Du Busi didn't need to rush so much to push the original Douluo Three Kingdoms' major forces into an alliance against the Holy Spirit Cult.

Because someone else was already doing it, with the strength to back it up.

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Xuan Zi was discussing matters concerning the Holy Spirit Cult with Emperor Xu Jiawei.

"Then I'll trouble Your Majesty to put extra effort into rooting out Holy Spirit Cult members within the Star Luo Empire," Xuan Zi said, taking a bite of the chicken leg he was holding.

The Godly Taotie Bull's martial soul traits forced him to eat constantly throughout his life, but that same trait had also led him into many mistakes.

Faced with Xuan Zi's lack of decorum and his habit of munching on chicken legs, Xu Jiawei remained composed and spoke calmly.

First, he understood the dietary needs of Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull martial soul;

second, this man was a Super Douluo with a Soul Power Level of 98, one of the continent's top powerhouses, second only to the three exposed by the Heavenly Curtain.

So Xu Jiawei let Xuan Zi do as he pleased.

After all, in this world, the strong truly ruled over everything.

In the presence of such a powerhouse, even an emperor like him meant little.

Fortunately, these powerhouses also shared a common understanding and would not act recklessly, especially in this era of peace.

Moreover, these powerhouses were not solitary individuals; each had their own concerns and constraints.

This gave the emperors and nobles of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms a considerable sense of security.

"Elder Xuan, rest assured. My Star Luo Empire has always maintained zero tolerance for Evil Soul Masters. At tomorrow's morning court, I will issue corresponding decrees to counter the Holy Spirit Cult."

Xu Jiawei spoke of countermeasures while wearing a visibly worried expression.

There was no helping it. Suddenly learning that the continent harbored a powerful Evil Soul Master organization, one with a Limit Douluo at its helm and hidden for who knows how long—

Anyone would be anxious.

The Holy Spirit Cult was now like a bomb capable of destroying heaven and earth, yet no one knew when this thing would detonate.

If it exploded in their own country, the consequences would be immeasurably terrifying.

"Rest assured... I will next visit the Heaven Dou Empire and the Heaven Spirit Empire. The matter of the Holy Spirit Cult is of grave importance. If it is not eradicated, everyone will find it hard to sleep or eat in peace."

Xuan Zi naturally saw what Xu Jiawei was worried about and could only offer a few words of reassurance.

But as he had said, as long as the Holy Spirit Cult remained undestroyed, a sword would always hang over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

Who knew what mad acts that crazy woman might suddenly commit to harm the world?
