Shrek's Misfortune
(P. S.: This chapter is a bit short; it mainly explains what happened to Flender and the others.)
"Flender," Zhao Wuji said, his body covered in wounds.
"We've offended the Spirit Hall now, and look what's happened, we've been arrested."
Looking at his old friend Flender in the cell, Zhao Wuji didn't know what to say. He had used the name of the Spirit Hall as a recruitment advertisement to deceive those common geniuses into joining them. Now, he was being hunted down by the Spirit Hall and had been captured. No one could resist them now.
After all, a Soul Douluo- level expert is enough to deal with them.
All of them combined are only at the Soul Emperor and Soul Sage levels. How could they possibly deal with a Soul Douluo? You must know that Soul Douluo is a recently Titled Douluo, and their combat strength is many times greater than that of Soul Sage.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Two Empires combined have a maximum of only 100 Soul Douluo powerhouses, according to Oscar, but the Spirit Hall can field more than 100 Soul Douluo.
The Spirit Hall doesn't need to put in much effort to deal with these little devils; they only need to send a Soul Douluo elder who isn't too busy.
Because they were the main leaders of the Shrek Academy, the two of them were imprisoned together in the same prison.
"What I want to ask you now is, why did you set up Shrek Academy in the first place? And I was really stupid. I'm someone who offended the Spirit Hall, but the problem is, I teamed up with you to create a fraudulent academy that makes everyone think that Shrek has a titled elder from the Spirit Hall. That was just courting death, it was bound to attract the attention of the Spirit Hall. And I don't understand why you even set up Shrek. Shrek isn't a real academy at all, it's just a fraudulent academy."
"The problem is that I still don't understand your and my strength. If we were truly running an academy, we would definitely be qualified to participate in the Soul Master Tournament. We are both Soul Sage, and our combat strength is not to be underestimated. If we were truly running an academy, we wouldn't have ended up being hunted down by the Spirit Hall. But why did we end up like this? You can't even understand such a simple question. Or if you had just told everyone that there were no elders from the Spirit Hall, that it was all a lie, maybe things wouldn't be like this. But now that we've offended the Spirit Hall, things have turned out this way."
"I also feel very regretful!" Flender felt endless remorse at this moment. Flender had no strength to resist at all. When facing the Spirit Hall's Soul Douluo, he couldn't even last five moves, let alone ten.
Furthermore, he couldn't understand why he had to involve the Spirit Hall when he was committing fraud. If they were discovered, the consequences would be severe, and there was no need for them to involve the Spirit Hall.
The two of them were already Soul Sage; that title alone was enough to attract many ordinary geniuses to join their Shrek Academy.
Even if they don't choose to run an academy, joining a super power would allow them to become elders at the Soul Sage level, and their Martial Soul are of high quality, belonging to the high-level Martial Soul.
"Now even your adorable disciple has been captured and taken to the Spirit Hall. Nobody knows what will become of Ma Hongjun, but we two are definitely doomed. We'll probably be imprisoned in the legendary Slaughter City. You know, that place is said to be a haven for Evil Soul Master, a paradise for them. Basically, only Evil Soul Master choose to go there. Although we're not Evil Soul Master, if we go there, we'll probably be beaten to death. Legend has it that you can't even use your Soul Skill there. The Evil Soul Master Spirit Hall will very likely send us there."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe we'll just have our Soul Power and Martial Soul stripped, and then we might still have a way to survive."
"Don't joke around. We've offended the Spirit Hall, and offended them so badly. We used their name to deceive those commoner geniuses and harmed so many of them. Now, many people in the Spirit Hall probably already know what we've done. It would be strange if they didn't throw us into the slaughterhouse."
Zhao Wuji has basically given up all hope for his future. He understands the consequences of offending Martial Soul. He had offended the Spirit Hall before, and now that he's been discovered, things are unlikely to go well for him. He'll probably end up in the Slaughter City.
What will happen to Flender? It's not clear at the moment, but the situation is unlikely to be much better.
It's probably going to be Slaughter City, since they recruited students under the name of the Spirit Hall, but ended up killing a lot of ordinary geniuses. The Spirit Hall must hate Flender to death, and Flender will definitely have to pay the price.
After all, it was Flender who caused the Spirit Hall to lose so many geniuses.
Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is Evil Fire, while the Phoenix is a high-level Martial Soul. It will probably be kept as a breeding stock to propagate super powerful Martial Soul. After all, Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is a Phoenix, and as long as it is a Phoenix, its quality will not be bad.
The Spirit Hall understands this principle, so Ma Hongjun will at most be used as a stud, and certainly won't be thrown into places Slaughter City. He'll probably still have a way to survive. And we have to consider that Ma Hongjun is just a student, and he hasn't been involved in many of Shrek's dirty deeds.
They'll probably get a lenient sentence.
"Speaking of which, I'm curious about something. Suotuo City also has a branch of the Spirit Hall. We're working on the Shrek Academy, so they should have heard about it to some extent. Why are they only making a move now? Why didn't they do it before?"
"This?" Flender was also very curious when he heard Zhao Wuji say this. After all, they had been doing this in Suotuo City Suotuo City for a long time, and the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall also had a branch there. So they should have easily found out that they were using the Spirit Hall's name to swindle and deceive people, right? Why did they only take action now?
"There's no use saying all this now. We can only obediently wait for our final fate in this prison. Anyway, we've lived for so long and made so much money, even though it's all gone now. But at least we had a good time for a while."
"But the problem is, I don't want to die so easily. If I were to die so easily, I would be too unwilling to accept it."
"We don't know what to do with the remaining two guys either."
Lu Qibin and Li Yusong, the two remaining Shrek Academy teachers, weren't much better off.
