Ma Xiaotao, the Future Master of the Sea God Pavilion? Another Saintess?

On the way back to their dormitory, Wang Dong played with the Gold Soul Coin savings card she had earned.

"Making money is way too easy, isn't it?"

Wang Dong could not help sighing.

"Of course it is." Ye Chen looked as though it were only natural.

Once he started forging Battle Armor and Mechas, that would be a business with enormous profits.

After all, ten thousand years later, when it came to personal wealth, perhaps no one could surpass Zhenhua, the continent's only Divine Craftsman.

The next day,

after Ye Chen and Wang Dong finished breakfast, they went for a walk near the shores of Sea God Lake.

Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era.

The moment Bo Saixi heard the words "Sea God Lake," she immediately fixed her gaze on the Sky Screen.

She did not care about the grudges between Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall. She only cared whether Sea Soul Masters still existed ten thousand years later.

"Since Shrek Academy has Sea God Lake, there must be quite a few Sea Soul Masters there, right?" Bo Saixi guessed.

At the same time, within the Sky Screen.

Ye Chen and Wang Dong, who were taking a walk, happened to run into Huo Yuhao head-on.

The moment Huo Yuhao saw Ye Chen, his expression immediately changed, as though he bore some deep hatred toward him.

Just then, Bibi Dong in the Sea of Spirit seemed to sense something and spoke up to warn him.

"Ye Chen, a Soul Emperor is rapidly flying toward you."

Ye Chen looked in the direction Bibi Dong indicated. Sure enough, a red figure was swiftly approaching.

"Wang Dong, let's go." Without another word, Ye Chen grabbed Wang Dong and quickly left.

Leaving the bewildered Huo Yuhao standing there in a daze.

By the time Huo Yuhao came to his senses, it was already too late to dodge.

Even Ye Chen and Wang Dong, who had run off in advance, were affected.

A terrifying heat erupted instantly, and blazing flames immediately engulfed the area.

"Hmph! Mere evil fire dares to block my path?" Ye Chen immediately released his Three-Eyed Golden Lion martial soul, and ultimate flames instantly suppressed the evil fire.

"Ye Chen, what's going on?" Only then did Wang Dong react.

"It's nothing. A student from the inner courtyard merely lost control of her martial soul." Ye Chen said it lightly.

Who else could it be if not Ma Xiaotao, with her evil fire out of control?

"Huo Yuhao isn't going to die, is he?" Wang Dong asked.

Even she had been frightened by the temperature just now.

"Don't worry. Anyone might die, but Huo Yuhao definitely won't." Ye Chen said.

Just as Ye Chen had said, when Huo Yuhao was about to pass out from the high temperature invading his body,

his other, still-unformed ice martial soul was immediately triggered.

His originally deep-blue eyes turned white in an instant.

A wave of ultimate chill suddenly spread from his body. Within a hundred-meter radius around Huo Yuhao, the area instantly became a world of ice and snow.

Under the stimulation of that Ultimate Ice, a clear phoenix cry rang out from the red figure.

A massive fire phoenix rose into the air, and six Soul Rings ascended around her.

At the same time, the flames behind her instantly turned dark red.

Within the Sky Screen, Ma Hongjun saw this familiar sight and immediately realized what it was.

"Her martial soul... could it be the Evil Fire Phoenix?"

Elsewhere, Yu Xiaogang was completely drawn in by Ma Xiaotao's strength.

"Judging by her age, she should be quite young, yet she already has six Soul Rings. It seems Shrek Academy is truly flourishing!"

"Looks like there are quite a few people at Shrek Academy who reach six Soul Rings before the age of twenty! Just any one of them is a Soul Emperor!"

Of course, even more people focused their attention on those dark-red flames.

Especially those from the Dragon King Era. They had suffered greatly at the hands of Evil Soul Masters, and with Yan Shaozhe and Tang Ya as precedents, they naturally viewed Ma Xiaotao with suspicion.

[Xu Xiaoyan: Dark-red flames? Could she be another Evil Soul Master?]

[Ma Hongjun: Dark-red flames don't mean she's an Evil Soul Master! Wouldn't it be enough to simply vent the evil fire?]

Within the Sky Screen, Bibi Dong asked the same question.

"This woman's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix?"

"Yes. Her martial soul is the same as Ma Hongjun's from ten thousand years ago: the Evil Fire Phoenix. But Ma Hongjun vented his evil fire, while Ma Xiaotao did not. That was why Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix was always losing control." Ye Chen said.

"Could Shrek Academy not find a solution?" Bibi Dong asked.

Could the continent's foremost academy really fail to solve even the problem of evil fire?

Ye Chen shook his head, his eyes full of disdain. "Shrek Academy truly never found a solution. In the end, Ma Xiaotao also fell into evil and became another saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult."

What angered Ye Chen most was that Ma Xiaotao, like Tang Ya, killed so many people while in the Holy Spirit Cult! Her cultivation even rose to the level of a Titled Douluo.

After Huo Yuhao rescued her, she was still able to clear her name!

And according to the story's ending, Ma Xiaotao even became the Master of the Sea God Pavilion!

Ten thousand years later, during the Dragon King Era, the Holy Spirit Cult had grown to such an enormous scale.

Perhaps it had relied on its two great saintesses!

One was the Tang Sect Master, while the other was the Master of the Sea God Pavilion. Perhaps it was with their help

that the Holy Spirit Cult, which Huo Yuhao had once destroyed, was able to rise from the dead!

The moment Ye Chen said this, the fury of everyone watching the Sky Screen was completely ignited.

During the Spirit Hall era, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were already burning with rage.

"One Tang Sect, one Shrek Academy—they really know how to hide Fallen Soul Masters!"

As inheritors of the angel bloodline, they loathed Fallen Soul Masters to the extreme.

"Could it be that angel martial souls no longer exist ten thousand years later? They can't even suppress Fallen Soul Masters, allowing an organization founded by a Fallen Soul Master to run rampant like this!"

During the Dragon King Era, the Nether Emperor and Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult were already laughing so hard they could barely close their mouths.

"So, ten thousand years ago, our Holy Spirit Cult, Tang Sect, and Shrek were all one family?"

"Since that's the case, why should everyone kill each other?" Ghost Emperor laughed sinisterly.

Meanwhile, inside the Sun-Moon Federation's conference room,

the Federation Chairman had already received Tang Ya's information, and his face was filled with rage.

"Good, very good. What a Tang Sect! You actually allowed a saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult to succeed as the Tang Sect Master."

"I think your Tang Sect truly has no reason to exist anymore!"

"Do you really think I don't know that you've secretly been supporting the Star Luo Continent and the Dou Ling Continent all these years?"

If the Tang Sect had not supported the two empires, how could their technological standards have advanced so quickly?

At this moment, after hearing Ye Chen's words, the Federation Chairman forcefully suppressed the fury in his heart.

"Go. Investigate the information on this Ma Xiaotao."

During the Dragon King Era, the Tang Sect and Shrek were completely tied together. If one was touched, the other would certainly offer unconditional support.

Furthermore, the two organizations had already become deeply entrenched within the Federation.

No one knew how many supporters stood behind them.

Moreover, if Shrek Academy had not repeatedly stood in their way, the Sun-Moon Federation would have unified the continent long ago!

How could the mere Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire possibly stop them?

After all, the current Federation Chairman was a hawk!

"Since we're going to make a move, we must eliminate their influence in every respect!"

"First, we'll make them lose the people's support!"

"It would be best to further intensify the conflict between the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect. There are some things the Federation cannot do openly."

Afterward, the Federation Chairman activated the Communication Soul Tool beside him.

"Hello, this is the Federation Chairman. Connect me to the Master of the War God Hall, Chen Xinjie."

Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue's history was no secret to the older generation.

The Federation Chairman wanted to see Chen Xinjie's attitude toward Shrek Academy under these circumstances!
