"You could pretty much say that, because every time Xuan Zi takes the Shrek Supervisory Group out to eliminate Evil Soul Masters, something always goes wrong," Jiang Yan explained.
This puzzled Ye Guyi. "Isn't the deputy leader of the Shrek Academy Supervisory Group really strong? How could anything go wrong?"
"Hard to imagine, right? But that's the truth. Can you imagine Xuan Zi taking several Soul Emperor and Soul King students from the Shrek Inner Court out to eliminate a five-ring Evil Soul Master, only for that five-ring Evil Soul Master to leave three seriously injured, one dead, and three crippled?"
"If he'd acted any later, they might have suffered a total party wipe."
"That's precisely why he's affectionately called the Holy Spirit Cult's supreme elder."
"It's not just when they go out to hunt down Evil Soul Masters, either. Even when hunting Soul Beasts for Soul Rings, something always goes wrong when Xuan Zi leads the team. How many outstanding Shrek students has he indirectly killed?"
"I honestly suspect Xuan Zi has an arrangement with the Holy Spirit Cult. Whenever they're short on their quota, he brings over a batch of Shrek students to feed them kills," Jiang Yan snarked.
As soon as he said that, a member of the Holy Spirit Cult immediately appeared in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.
[Zhongli Wu: Xuan Zi, why not just join my Holy Spirit Cult? I'll appoint you our supreme elder, hahahahaha!]
Just then, Qian Renxue, who had been listening for quite some time, finally voiced the question on her mind.
"Um, what are Evil Soul Masters? And what's the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan answered.
"Evil Soul Masters are what you called Fallen Soul Masters in your era, and the Holy Spirit Cult is an organization made up entirely of Evil Soul Masters."
"In every era except yours, the Holy Spirit Cult is an absolute thorn in everyone's side."
"Don't the other eras have organizations like Spirit Hall to suppress the growth of Evil Soul Masters? Besides, isn't there also Slaughter City?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Slaughter City was already destroyed by Tang San back in your era. As for organizations like Spirit Hall, it's not that they don't exist, but that they simply can't suppress the growth of Evil Soul Masters," Jiang Yan said helplessly.
"How is that possible? Are Evil Soul Masters really that powerful?" Qian Renxue understood even less now.
"Against your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Evil Soul Masters are weak, of course. But ever since Spirit Hall was destroyed, angel Martial Souls have become increasingly rare, so naturally, they can no longer keep Evil Soul Masters in check."
As Jiang Yan spoke, he pointed at Ye Guyi.
"She has one of the rare Holy Angel Martial Souls of the Peerless Era, yet she hardly dares reveal her Martial Soul normally, for fear of attracting Evil Soul Masters."
At those words, Qian Daoliu could no longer sit still.
[Qian Daoliu: Evil Soul Masters hunting down angel Martial Souls? The heavens have truly been turned upside down! Let this old man see which Evil Soul Masters dare act so arrogantly!]
[Ghost Emperor: Why don't you try taking me on?]
[Qian Daoliu: So you're one of them? Just don't let me get my chance!]
Just then, another new feature was released in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.
[Sky Screen Livestream Room: Detected Soul Masters interested in PvP. Activating offline PvP. Soul Masters may freely invite opponents to PvP.]
[Qian Daoliu: Free PvP? Good, good, good. You there, from just now, do you have the guts to fight this old man?]
[Ghost Emperor: Why wouldn't I? Do you think you're Yun Ming?]
As they spoke, the two entered the dedicated offline PvP space.
The moment Ghost Emperor entered, green ghost flames flashed in his eyes.
"I've been bored lately anyway. You can help me blow off some steam!"
At the same time, Qian Daoliu got a clear look at Ghost Emperor and sensed his aura!
His cultivation was actually level 99 as well.
"What an Evil Soul Master. How many people did you kill to reach this realm!"
"Not many, not many. Just a few hundred thousand..." Ghost Emperor said casually.
Just as Ghost Emperor was about to continue taunting him, Qian Daoliu had already reached the end of his patience.
"What are you babbling about? Angel Judgment!"
As his words rang out, the Heavenly Sacred Sword appeared in Qian Daoliu's hand, and he slashed viciously at Ghost Emperor.
Ghost Emperor had not expected Qian Daoliu to have so little martial honor, attacking before he could even finish speaking!
"Looks like I'll have to take you a little more seriously!" Ghost Emperor said.
By then, Qian Daoliu's ninth Soul Skill had already lit up.
"Evil Soul Master, prepare to face my wrath!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Breath!"
In the Sky Screen Livestream Room, everyone was still asking about the situation.
[Golden Crocodile Douluo: Is the fight over yet? Why is Big Brother taking so long?]
[Yun Ming: Ghost Emperor isn't easy to deal with. Even I would need some time to handle him!]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo: Who are you? Can you even compare to my big brother?]
[Yun Ming: ?]
[Yun Ming: I'm the strongest person on the continent today! If we really were to compare, I'm afraid only Tang San and Huo Yuhao at the same point in their lives would qualify as my opponents!]
Just then, Qian Daoliu began calling out in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.
[Qian Daoliu: Any more Evil Soul Masters? Let me get a feel for how strong you are! Why was he so weak!]
[Yun Ming: ?]
[Yun Ming: How was that so fast? Has Ghost Emperor gotten weaker?]
Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Jiang Yan looked at Leng Yaozhu and continued.
"As for twenty thousand years later, angel Martial Souls did grow to a certain scale, and an Angel Clan, the Yue Family, even emerged. Unfortunately, they still couldn't suppress Evil Soul Masters."
Qian Daoliu happened to hear that and immediately began complaining.
[Qian Daoliu: The Yue Family twenty thousand years later is that trash? They can't even suppress Evil Soul Masters? Aren't Evil Soul Masters just EXP packs in front of angel Martial Souls?]
[Yue Zhengen: ? Who are you? What gives you the right to say that about my Yue Family?]
Yue Zhengen had only just entered the livestream room. He had missed the exchange between Qian Daoliu and Ghost Emperor and only saw Qian Daoliu disparaging his Yue Family.
[Qian Daoliu: You're the head of the Yue Family? What level is your Soul Power? How can you not even keep Evil Soul Masters in check!]
[Yue Zhengen: Level 99! What level are you, then? How dare you speak to me like that?]
[Qian Daoliu: Level 99 and you can't even suppress Evil Soul Masters? If you aren't trash, what are you?]
[Yue Zhengen: What do you mean by that? You want to have a spar with me?]
[Qian Daoliu: A perfect chance to teach a piece of trash like you a lesson!]
And so, Qian Daoliu and Yue Zhengen also entered the offline PvP space.
Meanwhile, in the Modern Era, after briefly introducing the situation with Evil Soul Masters, Jiang Yan continued his rundown of the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult during the Peerless Era.
"As for the third person, we have to mention Shrek Academy's dean, Yan Shaozhe! He's also the one with the deepest ties to Evil Soul Masters."
[Qiangu Dieting: There really is a dean of Shrek Academy involved! Hahahaha, what's the difference between Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult?]
Qiangu Dongfeng also wanted to get a few kicks in, but then he remembered that he seemed to have ties to the Holy Spirit Cult himself. On second thought, he decided against it. If that were exposed, where would he hide his face?
At that moment, Yan Shaozhe began protesting his innocence in the livestream room.
[Yan Shaozhe: Slander! This is outrageous slander!]
[Yan Shaozhe: I possess the magnificent Bright Phoenix Martial Soul. How could I possibly be an Evil Soul Master!]
