In an instant, several inner court students quickly traversed the streets of Shrek City, their eyes scanning every possible hiding place, carefully searching for Dai Huabin, whose whereabouts were unknown.
Dai Yueheng stood on high ground, his eyes scanning the surroundings, but he couldn't find any trace of Dai Huabin.
" Yueheng, we've searched almost everywhere, but we still can't find any trace of your brother in Shrek City," Chen Zifeng said calmly as he approached from behind.
Dai Yueheng's brows were furrowed as if they were knotted together, and his worried expression lingered for Jiujiu. His fists were clenched tightly, and he looked disappointed in Dai Yueheng.
"It's been about two and a half hours since we found him. Given his condition and the need to avoid being seen, he can't run fast. He's definitely still in Shrek City. Zifeng, intensify the search."
"Alright, Yueheng, your brother killed two inner court students when he escaped from prison. I'm sure he had accomplices, otherwise he couldn't have escaped. I hope..."
Dai Yueheng turned to Chen Zifeng and said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, my attitude towards Evil Soul Master is the same as yours."
Chen Zifeng stared intently at Dai Yueheng, his eyes filled with doubt. However, given that both of them were members of the Shrek Inspection Corps, he nodded and left to continue searching for clues about Dai Huabin.
As Dai Yueheng watched Chen Zifeng leave, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He turned around, his tiger-like eyes scanning the scene unfolding in Shrek City once more, eager to find Dai Huabin.
Inside the girls' dormitory of the outer academy at the Shrek Academy.
Tang Ya was lying listlessly on the soft bed, watching Jiang Nannan sitting at the desk fiddling with photos. Jiang Nannan's fair and shapely legs were swinging in the air, and she looked playful and cute.
Jiang Nannan kept fiddling with the photos in her hands, selecting suitable ones and framing them one by one, a sweet smile on her face.
Jiang Nannan would occasionally use her slender, jade-like fingers to gently touch the person in the photo, her eyes conveying a surge of love.
Lying on the bed, Tang Ya's eyes caught sight of the photo in Jiang Nannan's hand, and she immediately cried out, " Nannan ~, Lord Shadow, can I have a photo of Yuhao? crying"
Jiang Nannan covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent moons. She turned to look at Tang Ya, held up the photos in her hand, and said, "Of course! I have many more here!"
Jiang Nannan's tone was filled with pride. It was indeed something to be proud of to take a photo that she liked, especially since it was of their favorite character, Shadow Lord.
I knew you were the best!
Tang Ya jumped out of bed, wrapped her arms around Jiang Nannan's neck, and pressed her face against Jiang Nannan's.
Jiang Nannan's cheeks tickled, and she giggled incessantly, "Okay, okay... stop fooling around..."
Suddenly, the two stopped laughing at the same time and looked out the window almost simultaneously.
Tang Ya immediately released her grip on Jiang Nannan, her expression serious, and the Slime Bodysuit behind her instantly covered her body.
Jiang Nannan immediately opened the window, and the two of them disappeared from the dormitory in a flash.
Sea God Island, Sea God Pavilion.
Zhang Lexuan sat quietly in the room, countless blood-red, violent energies flowing from the Soul Ring Storage Device in front of her. She quietly admired the scenery of Sea God Lake.
Just as he was about to turn around and begin absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring that Huo Yuhao had brought back for him, a knocking sound came from the window behind him.
Before anyone knew it, Huo Yuhao's black figure had appeared outside the window.
Zhang Lexuan's face, which had been as hard as ice for millennia, melted away at this moment, leaving only her radiant smile, as gentle as a spring breeze, which warmed people's hearts.
"Lord Shadow, what brings you here?" Zhang Lexuan said with some surprise.
A black Slime flew out, like a black cloak, and entered the room. Huo Yuhao instantly sat down on a chair in the room, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He took a small sip and said, "'You' is absorbing the Soul Ring. I'll protect you and absorb that Head Soul Bone as well."
Zhang Lexuan walked up to Huo Yuhao, brought her face close, her bright red lips looking luscious and alluring. She then grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand that was holding the hot tea.
She gently exhaled from her cherry-like lips, cooling the surface of the hot tea, then slowly took Huo Yuhao's hand, sipped the tea, and smiled. The smile on her lips was like melting snow in the spring sunshine, a cool beauty with a touch of radiant warmth.
The cup still held Zhang Lexuan's unique warmth, Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned before casually placing the hot tea he was holding on the table beside him.
Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything more. Instead, she picked up the Soul Ring Storage Device from the table, sat on the futon in the room, and placed it in front of her.
Then, her slender fingers touched the storage ring, and with a flash of light, the unique Soul Bone aura belonging to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast instantly erupted.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, sealing the aura of the Soul Bone within the room.
Just as Zhang Lexuan calmed her mind and prepared to absorb the Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Lexuan immediately stopped what she was doing. Her Martial Soul subconsciously possessed her, and two yellow, two purple, three black, and a touch of scarlet immediately rose from beneath her feet.
"Who!"
Zhang Lexuan asked cautiously.
"It's me."
A calm voice came from outside. Then two more voices rang out.
"We're still here."
Zhang Lexuan immediately realized that someone had arrived, so she put away her Martial Soul and slowly opened the door.
It was indeed Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan.
"Lord Shadow, you're so cunning! If we hadn't sensed your presence, you would have secretly gotten intimate with 'You'! Humph!" Jiang Nannan pouted, dissatisfied.
Zhang Lexuan immediately let them into the house, and only after confirming that no one had seen them did she quickly close the door.
Huo Yuhao looked at the three approaching figures, a smirk playing on his lips beneath his black cloak. He raised his right index finger and quietly placed it to his lips. "Shh!"
Ma Xiaotao and the other two obediently went to the side and made sure that no one would disturb them before nodding to Zhang Lexuan.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand again, silencing the outside noise. Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya each found a corner and prepared to protect Zhang Lexuan.
Huo Yuhao nodded to Zhang Lexuan again, and only then did Zhang Lexuan feel relieved enough to sit down on the futon.
After readjusting her own state, Zhang Lexuan slowly channeled her Soul Power into the Soul Ring Storage Device.
As Soul Power was injected, the dazzling red light quickly illuminated the entire room, and the aura of Soul Beast from ten thousand years ago erupted instantly...
