Is This Your Shrek's Intelligence Department?

After saying that, he stepped into the black door first, and his entire figure instantly vanished on the spot.

Although Leng Yaozhu was filled with curiosity, she still followed after him, lifting her foot to step through that black doorway.

As soon as she entered, Leng Yaozhu felt a peculiar sensation, as if her entire body was wrapped in some kind of force. The surrounding space flowed past at high speed, a feeling that was hard to describe, somewhat like being swept into an invisible river.

Then in the next instant, the scenery before her eyes suddenly changed. The surrounding structures of Shrek Academy were no longer there, replaced instead by a dense forest.

Could this be... arrival?

Leng Yaozhu's heart could not help but be filled with shock. She turned her head to glance at the black door behind her, which had already vanished.

Just how was this even accomplished?

Even with a Spatial Martial Soul, pulling off something like this shouldn't be all that easy, right? Especially since the distance here from Shrek Academy was unknown, and she was completely unable to sense where she was currently located at all.

Just as Leng Yaozhu was still stunned, a cold and clear female voice rang out with a hint of surprise.

"Lin Fan!"

Leng Yaozhu looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that a girl of about her own age was standing not far away, walking over toward this side.

That girl possessed a head of silver-white long hair, skin as white and flawless as jade, and delicate facial features. At first glance, she gave off a very cold feeling, much like a proud plum blossom amidst the winter.

However, Leng Yaozhu could tell that when those pretty eyes noticed Lin Fan, a trace of surprised light clearly surged from deep within them. Yet when her gaze fell upon Leng Yaozhu, that surprise rapidly receded, replaced instead by a hint of vigilance.

Leng Yaozhu naturally captured this subtle change, and her heart could not help but muttering quietly to herself: What is the relationship between this Ling Luochеn... and Lin Fan?

Lin Fan did not care about this subtle atmosphere at all, simply introducing the two of them briefly.

"This is Ling Luochеn, my friend."

Then he looked over toward Ling Luochеn, gesturing at Leng Yaozhu.

"This is Leng Yaozhu, a newly acquainted friend who will be with me for the time being."

The two of them nodded to each other as a greeting, and Ling Luochеn withdrew her gaze from Leng Yaozhu.

"What went wrong?"

Lin Fan looked at Ling Luochеn, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Ling Luochеn quickly reorganized her words and spoke.

"According to the intelligence from Xuan Zi back at the academy, a group of Evil Soul Masters appeared this time around, and their strongest strength is at most that of a Soul Ancestor, which is why I took on this mission."

"However, after investigations by our few members, we found that within this group of Evil Soul Masters, there is at least one Soul Ancestor, and there might even be a Soul King."

Lin Fan looked around, discovering that Ling Luochеn was alone, and asked.

"Is this a mission for just the one of you?"

Ling Luochеn nodded. If it hadn't been for the fact that she was by herself, the problem wouldn't have been this major.

"I originally thought that with only a Soul Ancestor, I would be able to handle it quite easily. But with a Soul King present in addition to multiple Soul Ancestors, even I alone cannot cope with it."

There was a hint of lingering fear in her tone. If she had truly acted rashly, the consequences would likely have been unthinkable.

After listening, Lin Fan nodded, then slowly spoke, his voice giving off a great sense of security.

"Understood, leave the rest to me to handle."

"If we find that Soul King, leaving him for you to handle alone will be fine, right?"

Ling Luochеn nodded without hesitation, confidence shining within her cold and clear pupils.

"Sorry for the trouble, I'll treat you to a meal when we get back."

Shortly after, Ling Luochеn led both Lin Fan and Leng Yaozhu through a patch of dense woods, quickly arriving at the hiding place of that group of Evil Soul Masters. It was a secluded valley with quite a few traces of setup around it, making it obvious that this group had been entrenched here for quite some days.

Lin Fan stopped in his tracks, then raised his hand, seeing a black sphere condense within his palm.

The next instant, that black sphere abruptly expanded, spreading out like an invisible net.

Then seventeen figures appeared out of thin air before the three of them.

Shock was plastered across the faces of all seventeen people, completely unaware of what had just happened. Lin Fan swept a rough glance over them: one Soul King, four Soul Ancestors, and a bunch of second and third-ring ones.

"Who goes there?!"

Lin Fan did not give them a chance to react at all. In the next instant, a black crescent blade flew out from his hand. That crescent blade moved at astonishing speed, cutting an acute arc through the air as it accurately slashed toward those sixteen people.

"Pfft—!"

Following a series of muffled sounds, those sixteen figures collapsed to the ground in unison, letting out their final screams.

Leaving only the last person standing on the spot, completely dumbfounded, his complexion deathly pale and his legs trembling.

Lin Fan glanced at Ling Luochеn.

"He's yours."

Ling Luochеn did not hesitate, releasing her Martial Soul to directly finish off this Soul King. After all, Ling Luochеn was, by all accounts, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters of this generation, and her combat strength at the same rank was still not weak.

Ling Luochеn turned back to look at Lin Fan, a hint of a smile rarely appearing on her cold and clear face.

"Thanks for the effort."

Lin Fan waved his hand to signal that it was nothing.

And at this very moment, ten thousand years later, before that light screen spanning across the entire sky, countless people looked at this scene and felt turbulent waves surging in their hearts.

"This spatial teleportation ability... is simply too terrifying, right?"

Someone could not help crying out in a low voice, and soon someone calculated it. Ten thousand years ago, the location of Shrek Academy was around the Miluo Mountain Range, while the Ming Dou Mountain Range was more than a thousand kilometers away from there.

Yet Lin Fan had arrived from Shrek Academy to the Ming Dou Mountain Range in merely a split second. Was this not simply too terrifying?

"And he can't just teleport himself, he can teleport others over too!"

Someone else noticed the details. The moment Lin Fan's black sphere unfolded, it directly shifted all seventeen evil soul masters onto the open ground. This kind of area-of-effect spatial control ability was simply unheard of.

"Even if he fails to break through to level ninety-five in the future, this kind of ability is already quite terrifying, right?"

"Indeed, with this kind of spatial control ability, just dealing in crowd control is enough to give opponents a headache, not to mention that he also possesses such strong offensive power."

Quite a few people discussed among themselves, their evaluation of Lin Fan rising by a few notches once again for a time.

And right at this moment, someone discovered another matter and could not help frowning.

"Wait... Ling Luochen just said that the intelligence came from a person named Xuan Zi?"

"Right, that's what she said. That piece of intelligence said there was only one soul ancestor, but in reality there were even soul kings, and there were several soul ancestors as well..."

"In other words... that fellow named Xuan Zi provided incorrect information?"

As soon as these words came out, quite a few people could not help drawing in a cold breath.

If Ling Luochen had truly gone to execute the mission alone, then facing a lineup of several soul ancestors plus a soul king, she would have had no possibility of surviving whatsoever.

And this piece of erroneous intelligence was extremely likely to have caused the death of a student.

"How could an academy's intelligence department possibly have such a huge loophole?"

"This is simply too outrageous, right?"

For a time, discussions buzzed before the light screen, and quite a few people could not help feeling a chill grow in their hearts. Those who knew better would say it was training for students, but those who didn't would have thought it was sending students to their deaths.
