Thoroughly Set Up, Shrek vs. Holy Spirit Cult

"Xuan Zi, is that guy very strong?"

After Tai Tan left, Zhongli Wu immediately asked the question that had been buried in his heart.

Although Zhongli Wu was Evil Soul Master, he was not as brainless as some people. After vaguely sensing that Tai Tan was not easy to mess with, he never uttered any words of provocation, but simply watched quietly.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi recalled the scene of being brutally beaten, and his eyes suddenly turned gloomy. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Very strong, Ultimate Douluo."

Zhongli Wu's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately thought of the rumors he had heard before, that the two Ultimate Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had caused a ruckus at the Shrek Academy and had given Xuan Zi a good beating.

It seems that the guy from earlier was one of them.

No wonder Xuan Zi didn't dare to say anything even when threatened by him; it turns out he had already been beaten up by the other party!

Realizing this, Zhongli Wu's gaze toward Xuan Zi suddenly became very strange.

Xuan Zi knew what that bastard Zhongli Wu was thinking, but he couldn't explain it. What was there to say about being weaker than others? Once he himself became Ultimate Douluo, he would definitely make them pay back all the humiliations he had suffered!

Of course, it's also possible that Tai Tan won't have to wait until that day; he might die prematurely at the hands of those Rank Nine Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire.

Just like Tai Tan thought that if Xuan Zi and Zhongli Wu attacked Huo Yuhao, they would be killed by Gu Yuena.

Xuan Zi also felt that if Tai Tan tried to forcibly take Wang Dong'er away, he would be besieged and killed by the Rank Nine Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire.

The final outcome depends on how things ultimately develop.

However, one thing is certain: neither Xuan Zi nor Zhongli Wu, nor Tai Tan, ever imagined that they would all die in the Sun Moon Empire!

Zhongli Wu looked at Xuan Zi with great interest and asked with a smile.

"By the way, Xuan Zi, if Mu En knew that you would actually take the initiative to seek out us Evil Soul Master to join forces, what do you think his reaction would be?"

Zhongli Wu's words caused Xuan Zi's expression to change, and he denied it without hesitation.

"This isn't a joint effort; it's just that we happened to attack Huo Yuhao together because we share the same goal! Zhongli Wu, watch your words!"

Even if Xuan Zi wasn't the brightest, he knew that if others found out he had taken the initiative to join forces with Zhongli Wu, it would be a fatal blow to Shrek's reputation, which had finally begun to recover.

Not to mention that after experiencing so many setbacks, Xuan Zi has finally become more mature than at the beginning.

Hearing Xuan Zi's hasty attempt to absolve himself of responsibility, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but sneer, standing up and looking at him mockingly.

"Whatever, as long as you're happy."

Watching Zhongli Wu's departing figure, Xuan Zi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I just hope everything goes smoothly from now on, that Shrek Academy will be eliminated soon, and that when I and Zhongli Wu work together to deal with Huo Yuhao, it won't involve Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

However, what Xuan Zi never expected was that Huo Yuhao had overheard his conversation with Zhongli Wu and Tai Tan through his Mental Detection!

From the very beginning, they were exposed to the world, and Huo Yuhao, whom they treated as prey, became the hunter.

Most importantly, Huo Yuhao also used a special Soul Tool he had developed over the past five years to record and preserve their conversation.

Even the Star Luo Empire's auction house has Light-Guiding Screen that synchronize sound and images, let alone the Sun Moon Empire, whose technology has made a qualitative leap.

Huo Yuhao wanted to spread this video throughout the entire continent, so that everyone would know that Shrek Academy, which was outwardly fighting fiercely with the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, had secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Huo Yuhao felt no psychological pressure at all when using malicious editing tactics against the Shrek Academy.

Even if Xuan Zi, Tai Tan, and Zhongli Wu all die in the Sun Moon Empire after the Soul Master Competition ends, after seeing the video of them discussing how to kill Huo Yuhao, this peerless genius, no one else will think it's the Sun Moon Empire's fault!

On the contrary, they would applaud the deaths of the three of them.

All I can say is that Huo Yuhao had already made clear plans for the fates of the three of them!

Moreover, Huo Yuhao wanted to see what Xuan Zi would do when Shrek Academy encountered the Holy Spirit Cult in this Soul Master Competition, and when Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, members who were extremely important to Shrek, died at Tang Ya's hands.

This show is getting more and more exciting!

With the introduction of sects, this year's Soul Master Competition was the largest in history, with the first round of elimination taking a full three days to complete.

Under Xu Tianran's and others' arrangements, the subsequent matches proceeded in an orderly manner.

With Rank Nine Soul Engineer as the referee, although injuries and deaths still occurred occasionally, the number of injuries and deaths was much less than that of the Soul Master Competition in the Star Luo Empire.

Overall, this number of casualties is acceptable to everyone.

However, everyone is well aware that the reason there haven't been any serious casualties is ultimately because the strong teams haven't faced each other yet.

If teams at the Soul Sage level meet, and neither side controls their strength, or if they only go all out to defeat their opponent, it's only natural that casualties will occur.

If it's normal for other people to get injured or killed during the game.

When they encountered the Holy Spirit Cult's forces, they were deliberately slaughtered without any mercy.

Tang Ya, as the team captain, did not make a move. To be precise, the Holy Spirit Cult's opponents did not require Tang Ya, the Blue Silver Saintess, to participate. The Death God Envoy and the others alone were enough to easily defeat them.

Tang Ya's debut performance was prepared for the Shrek Academy!

Even so, the Holy Spirit Cult has now become infamous. Everyone knows just how wicked these Evil Soul Master are. They are not here to compete, but to kill!

When faced with an opponent of the Holy Spirit Cult, unless one is blindly confident in oneself, one will choose to admit defeat immediately.

When the competition reached the round of 16 and the top eight were about to be decided, Shrek Academy, which had been having a smooth run from the beginning, finally encountered the Holy Spirit Cult under Xu Tianran's behind-the-scenes manipulation!

Upon hearing this news, Xuan Zi was not as nervous as Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, because only Xuan Zi knew that he had secretly reached an agreement with Zhongli Wu to kill Huo Yuhao, this peerless genius, soon.

Under such circumstances, Zhongli Wu would surely restrain the Holy Spirit Cult members and make them show leniency towards the Shrek Academy participants, right?

This is a perfect opportunity to eliminate Shrek Academy, and then let Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo take away Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others, so that my next plan can be implemented smoothly.

Xuan Zi felt that after being unlucky for so long, it was time for things to go smoothly for him!

However, what Xuan Zi didn't know was that when the host announced that the contestants from the Shrek Academy and Holy Spirit Cult were to enter the arena, the bloodthirsty glint in Tang Ya's eyes was almost impossible to conceal!
