"Please stay a moment, you two."
At the border between Dragon City and the Far North, a middle-aged woman whose beauty had not yet faded suddenly appeared. She spoke slowly, blocking Ye Xiao and Ye Guyi's path.
A stern-looking middle-aged man accompanied her.
"I am Yan Shaozhe, dean of Shrek Academy's outer court. I came here to capture an Evil Soul Master."
"Please remove your hats. If you two have nothing to do with this, then I apologize to you in advance."
Yan Shaozhe spoke slowly.
According to Mu En's conjecture...
Judging by the sky screen, if Ye Xiao and Ye Guyi wanted to break out of their predicament, they would have to draw on the power of the Far North.
Thus, he had sent Yan Shaozhe and Lin Huiqun ahead to the entrance to the Far North.
And now, across from them...
Ye Guyi stopped in her tracks, her body suddenly tensing!
"Hmm?"
Lin Huiqun narrowed her eyes. Age had sharpened her wits, and when she saw Ye Guyi's wary reaction, she discreetly used her Soul Power to seal off the surrounding area.
She said nothing, merely staring at the pair, each clad in a black robe.
Meanwhile, Ye Yulin, who had also been sent to the Far North, grew wary in the shadows.
He didn't know what had happened, but when he sensed Lin Huiqun circulating her Soul Power, his intuition told him they might have found the people they were looking for.
Two Titled Douluo?
Wu Qingyao, who had just emerged from the Far North, felt her scalp go numb!
How was a mere Soul Douluo like her supposed to fight them, with her head?!
Wu Qingyao cast a seemingly indifferent glance at the four people facing off at the border. Without slowing her steps in the slightest, she passed the two from Shrek, then the Ye siblings...
This is a bit troublesome...
The Myriad Demon King's heart sank in the shadows. He had followed this man named Ye Yulin all the way here, never imagining that two human Titled Douluo would also be present!
"Please remove your hats, you two."
Yan Shaozhe's voice gradually turned cold as Ye Xiao and Ye Guyi stood frozen in place.
He, too, had noticed that something was amiss.
"...The previous generation of the Shrek Seven Devils are my idols. I was just stunned for a moment."
"My dad and I are just ordinary people from Dragon City. We have nothing to do with the Evil Soul Master you mentioned."
Ye Xiao's voice softened a little, taking on a more girlish tone.
He pushed back his hat, revealing a delicate little face.
Under the Aura Concealment Technique, his Soul Power Level also remained at around level three.
"Mm, that's right."
"I never expected that I'd run into two seniors from Shrek Academy while I was out hunting for a Soul Ring!"
Ye Guyi pressed her lips together, lowered her voice, and removed her hat, revealing an androgynous face.
She had only learned the bare basics of the Aura Concealment Technique, so naturally, she couldn't transform her appearance the way Ye Xiao could. All she could do was use makeup to help.
"Go on, then."
Yan Shaozhe scrutinized the two of them, then shook his head in disappointment.
A daughter who appeared to have level-three Innate Soul Power and a level-thirty father who was probably already thirty years old-there was nothing worth paying attention to.
Phew...
Not far away, Wu Qingyao let out a long breath, finally relaxing completely.
They had given her quite a fright. Fortunately, these two weren't the people she was looking for. Otherwise, wouldn't she have to fight two Titled Douluo to the death?
With her slight build, she'd be a badass if she could withstand even one hit!
"Wait."
An icy voice suddenly rang out!
Elder Lin's sharp gaze bore into Ye Xiao and Ye Guyi.
At the same time, she sent Yan Shaozhe a voice transmission.
[Yan Shaozhe, there's something wrong with these two. When that father first saw me, he didn't act like a Soul Elder...]
[Besides, who takes their daughter along while hunting for a Soul Ring?]
"Since you two admire our Shrek Academy so much, why not come and visit us there?"
Elder Lin's gaze was sinister.
When it came to a great enemy like Ye Xiao from the sky screen, Shrek Academy would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
They had to get Ye Xiao under their control within twelve years at most!
And make sure he was thoroughly dead before his level reset to zero!
"Really?"
"Then, big sister, could you help my dad get his third Soul Ring first?"
Ye Xiao's heart sank, but he still asked Lin Huiqun innocently.
At the moment, his only hope was to encounter the Snow Empress while Soul Hunting!
"Yan Shaozhe, stay here and keep waiting for them. I'll take these two to hunt for a Soul Ring."
Elder Lin gave Ye Xiao a long look, then spoke to Yan Shaozhe.
"Oh, and sir, what is your Martial Soul?"
"Could you release it for us to see?"
Elder Lin turned to look at Ye Guyi.
As a Sea God Pavilion Elder of Shrek, her suspicion alone was a charge in itself!
Ye Xiao fell silent. At this point, he had nothing left to say in his defense...
Forget it. I'm just a minor Soul Master. It was only a matter of time before I was discovered.
Ye Xiao raised his head and looked Lin Huiqun straight in the eye.
He had long anticipated being exposed, and that was precisely why he had wanted to free the Ice and Snow Emperors ahead of time.
He just hadn't expected it to happen so soon...
"The heroes of the world are truly as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river..."
Ye Xiao's expression grew somewhat indifferent, and his voice returned to normal.
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Yan Shaozhe's expression instantly changed!
Lin Huiqun's eyes turned sinister, and her hand formed a claw as she reached for Ye Xiao's shoulder!
"But unfortunately for you, I've already come ashore!"
Ye Xiao scoffed and silently said in his heart, I agree.
The next moment, a dazzling light instantly descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Xiao and Ye Guyi securely!
And this was, without a doubt, the Godhood sent down from the Divine Realm!
It was just that the Plane Consciousness had intercepted this Godhood and kept it out!
Because of Tang San, the Plane Consciousness had an extremely poor impression of the Divine Realm!
That was precisely why the Plane Consciousness had intercepted the Godhood outright!
Even so, the Plane Consciousness had still told Ye Xiao about it.
She said that if Ye Xiao wanted it, she could give it to him.
What is this?!
Lin Huiqun's expression changed drastically. Her hand still throbbed with pain where the white light had burned it.
But she couldn't spare a thought for her injury now. Anyone could see that the situation had begun to turn against her!
Watching Lin Huiqun and Yan Shaozhe gradually lose their composure, Ye Xiao's lips slowly curled into a playful smile.
As long as he didn't accept the God Trial, the beam of light would continue to protect him.
Of course, there had to be a limit to how long the beam would last, but Ye Xiao didn't particularly care.
Because his true trump card had never been the Godhood.
At the same time, deep in the Far North, a cold and aloof white-haired woman opened her eyes as she sat meditating.
She gazed thoughtfully at the distant white light that soared into the sky.
