A Pot of Filth Dumped on the Holy Spirit Cult's Heads

Bibi Dong was about to finish off Zhang Yuexuan when a furious roar rang out from not far away.

"Stop!!!"

Elder Xuan's eyes were bloodshot as two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul ring lit up in succession beneath his feet.

"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body."

Elder Xuan transformed into the Godly Taotie Bull and blocked in front of Zhang Yuexuan at lightning speed.

Bibi Dong's gaze was icy as she glanced toward the distance, where a crisp phoenix cry rang out. She chose not to engage directly with the people from Shrek Academy.

"I've killed enough today. From now on, every Shrek Academy member I see, I'll kill one by one. If I see two, I'll kill them both."

With that, Bibi Dong transformed into a flash of purple light and vanished into the distance.

Before long, when Yan Shaozhe arrived at the scene, gasping for breath, the sight before him would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Eleven young men and women in red inner courtyard uniforms had become cold corpses. Three days ago, they had been a group of vibrant youths. Now, aside from Zhang Yuexuan, who was sobbing uncontrollably, all the others were dead.

"It was the work of an Evil Soul Master!" Elder Xuan said through gritted teeth.

"Evil Soul Master?!" Yan Shaozhe was stunned.

"I fought her for only a moment. Her entire soul power was steeped in evil—an aura of extreme wickedness. There should be no mistake."

Elder Xuan walked over to the eleven dead inner courtyard students and suddenly knelt before them.

This unusual sight made Yan Shaozhe freeze, and Zhang Yuexuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Children, I have failed you!" Elder Xuan said in a heavy voice.

This time, he was supposed to be the team leader. With his strength as a ninety-eighth-level pinnacle expert of the continent, protecting these twelve people would have been no problem at all.

If it hadn't been for his own stubbornness—wanting to observe how the children would handle themselves alone in the Star Dou Great Forest—this severe accident would never have happened.

"Elder Xuan, please get up," Zhang Yuexuan said, kneeling beside him.

"Elder Xuan, we should take the children's bodies back first. This grudge, Shrek must avenge!"

Yan Shaozhe helped Elder Xuan to his feet and then assisted Zhang Yuexuan in moving the bodies.

Elder Xuan directly transformed into the Godly Taotie Bull, and the bodies of the eleven inner courtyard students lay across his broad back as he carried them back to Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy was divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

The outer courtyard had grades one through six. Every year, the academy held assessments, and those ranked at the bottom were immediately dismissed.

Only sixth-year students with outstanding results could join the inner courtyard and access the academy's core. These gifted children were the future pillars of the academy, and among them could very well be the next dean of Shrek Academy. That was why the number of inner courtyard students was generally small—only around fifty or so.

Yan Shaozhe's worst fears had come true.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En stared grimly at the eleven neatly laid-out bodies of the inner courtyard students below, his heart filled with rage.

Elder Xuan stood to the side in silence.

Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, Cai Meier, Elder Lin, and other high-ranking members of the academy all wore frosty expressions, their fists clenched tightly.

"This is the work of an Evil Soul Master. The children's injuries are worsening. Even the light attribute power of the Golden Ancient Tree cannot dispel it. This is a soul master with an extreme evil attribute."

Mu En let out a long sigh. "A hundred years ago, my teacher fought fiercely against Old Ghost Zhongli, the strongest Evil Soul Master of that time. Not long after, my teacher passed away from severe injuries, and I imagine Old Ghost Zhongli has long since fallen as well."

"I never thought that a hundred years later, another Evil Soul Master would appear on the continent and inflict such heavy losses on our Shrek Academy."

"In the ten thousand years since Shrek Academy was founded, there has never been a tragedy like this."

Elder Xuan said in a low voice, "Elder Mu, I have failed these children. I have decided to resign from my position as deputy head of the Shrek Supervision Group."

With that, Elder Xuan turned to leave.

"If you leave Shrek Academy, where will you go?" Mu En asked.

"I will find the culprit who killed them and bring back her head." Murderous intent flickered in Elder Xuan's eyes.

"Do you think I don't want revenge? But this matter involves the Holy Spirit Cult."

"The Holy Spirit Cult?!"

Elder Xuan had been wandering the Star Dou Great Forest for the past three days and had only just learned of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's destruction.

"Let Holy Light shine upon the earth, let the holy spirits descend upon the mortal world."

Signed: Holy Spirit Cult.

Elder Xuan tore apart the note written in the students' blood, furious. "This is too much! Elder Mu, I suggest we join forces with the three empires to uproot the Holy Spirit Cult hiding in the shadows."

"I was thinking the same thing."

Mu En looked around at everyone and said, "Shaozhe, transport the children's bodies back to their families and give them a proper burial. All expenses will be covered by the academy."

"Yes." Yan Shaozhe nodded.

"Xuanzi, I am now giving you a chance to atone for your mistake. You will command the Shrek Supervision Group. Make sure you hunt down and kill that fleeing Evil Soul Master on the soil of Douluo Continent."

"Yes!" Elder Xuan clasped his fists. The death of the eleven students had hit him hard.

"I will contact the three empires about this matter. The Holy Spirit Cult—an organization made entirely of Evil Soul Masters—must not be allowed to exist on this continent."

No wall in the world is completely soundproof. The news that thirteen inner courtyard students from Shrek Academy had died in succession shook the entire continent.

The three empires immediately coordinated with Shrek Academy, dispatching experts to eliminate the inexplicably appearing Evil Soul Masters and restore peace to the continent.

Star Luo City.

The bustling, lively city showed no panic whatsoever from the appearance of Evil Soul Masters, because the people knew that no Evil Soul Master would be bold enough to attack Star Luo City.

"Shua!"

A ghastly white blade light swept across the sky.

That blade light was like a ribbon; the Star Luo Empire soul masters patrolling while carrying flight-type Soul Tools were swept by it, instantly falling from midair.

Heads and blood splattered onto the ground, along with their severed limbs and broken arms.

In an instant, Star Luo City fell into chaos.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar came from the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Bibi Dong, having scored a hit, immediately fled, giving the other side no time to react.

By the time the Star Luo Empire experts and Elder Xuan arrived upon hearing the news, Bibi Dong had already escaped.

"Damn it!" Elder Xuan roared, looking up to the sky.

Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei was enraged, ordering that the culprit must pay with blood.

Bibi Dong stirred up a storm of chaos with her own strength, plunging the entire Douluo Continent into deep fear brought by the Evil Soul Masters. People dared not leave their homes, the three empires were exhausted from dealing with the situation, hearts were uneasy, and the world was in turmoil.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Qin Chuan received Snow Hatred Value almost every day. Qin Chuan discovered that Bibi Dong had already gone on a killing spree.

Meanwhile, far away in the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire.

A majestic building stood amidst the banded black mist of the forest.

Clad in a suit of armor, Zhong Liwu suddenly hurled his wine glass to the ground, his hair bristling with rage: "Who the hell is it! Framing my Holy Spirit Cult like this!"
