Meanwhile, the Shrek group left Star Luo City dejectedly on their way back to Shrek.
Everyone remained silent. Even Xuan Zi Yan Shaozhe and others felt ashamed and did not stay with the others. Wang Yan continued to lead the team.
Having lost the finals this time, Wang Yan really couldn't imagine how he would win five years from now.
Huo Yuhao encouraged the group:
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Five years from now, we'll all have grown stronger. By then, the gap between us and Chu Qing will have narrowed, while his team will be mostly mediocre. We might still have a chance."
The crowd looked up at him, but were not encouraged by it.
A voice of praise rang out:
"The Holy Son is right, that's ambitious."
Shrek and his group were instantly alarmed and on guard, when they saw two figures dressed in black robes fly out from both sides and block their way.
Wang Yan sensed their auras and instantly recognized them, saying:
"It's Evil Soul Master! Everyone prepare for battle!"
As he spoke, he immediately pulled out a mixed-signal gun and fired it into the air.
The two Evil Soul Master looked up helplessly at the signal in the sky, and could sense several powerful forces rapidly approaching from afar.
They said helplessly:
"Don't be nervous, our battle won't decide anything, and there's no need to fight."
Huo Yuhao had already Spiritual Sharing with everyone. The two people's Soul Power fluctuations were at the eighth ring, and very strong. He transmitted this information to everyone.
"Should we fight? We should be able to handle it."
He, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu moved closer to each other.
Fearing something might go wrong, Wang Yan raised his hand to stop the crowd. After all, this Evil Soul Master was no different from a normal arena match. He asked:
What do you two want to do to Shrek?
One of the Evil Soul Master replied:
"Nothing much, just inviting back the holy sons and daughters of my sect."
"Forget it, it's not your decision anyway. Let's wait here for your leader to arrive."
Before long, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others surrounded them from all sides.
Xuan Zi's terrifying pressure instantly pressed the two Evil Soul Master to the ground; he had been holding back a lot of anger during this competition.
The two Evil Soul Master spoke with difficulty:
"You Taotie Douluo, don't be ungrateful. Our Chief Elder only allowed the two of us to come because of our past relationship."
"Now, who in the world doesn't know about the three Limit Douluo? Two of them are in our Holy Spirit Cult."
"Do you expect our Holy Spirit Cult to personally go to Shrek Academy to demand our people back?"
Xuan Zi snorted coldly and instantly crushed the two of them into dust.
He took a sip of his drink and cursed:
"You filthy bastard, you dare threaten me?"
However, his smugness lasted only a couple of seconds before a terrifying aura of darkness suddenly enveloped the surrounding area, making his hand holding the wine gourd tremble.
Others also felt the oppression, which made them uneasy.
Everyone looked up in alarm, and in an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and a terrifying black dragon appeared in them. Long Xiaoyao stood on the dragon's head, arrogant and unparalleled.
He spoke, his voice authoritative and awe-inspiring, captivating everyone present.
" Mu En, I know your days are numbered, which is why I was originally unwilling to fight you."
Are you really going to force me now?
The Shrek group was surprised to hear this, and even Xuan Zi looked around in astonishment, but he couldn't find Mu En anywhere.
At that moment, a dazzling light illuminated half the sky.
The Radiant Sacred Dragon appeared and stood in distant confrontation with the Dark Holy Dragon.
However, Mu En's presence was clearly weaker, as he appeared on the dragon's head in a wheelchair.
" Long Xiaoyao, you forced me into this."
Why did you aid and abet the wicked?
Long Xiaoyao said:
"I won't discuss anything else with you today. I'll only ask you this: I want to take the Holy Son and Holy Daughter away, will you let them go or not?"
"Absolutely not!" Mu En declared firmly.
Long Xiaoyao frowned and released his Soul Power to cut off their conversation. He said:
"I've examined it. Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul is very special. If he can join the Holy Spirit Cult, not only will he be unaffected, but I will also accept him as my personal disciple to ensure his safety."
Mu En still refused, saying:
"No."
" Long Xiaoyao, are you really going to go down a dark path for Ye Xishui?"
"Our Shrek investigation has revealed that Ye Xishui deliberately approached us back then. You were deceived by her. She was the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult in the past."
Long Xiaoyao ignored him and said:
Whatever the truth was back then is now history and cannot change the present.
"But if Huo Yuhao comes to our Holy Spirit Cult, he is the one who has the potential to change the future."
Mu En's face flushed red with anger, and he said:
"You're so stubbornly persistent."
Long Xiaoyao, however, questioned:
" Mu En, why do you think you're always right? I joined the Holy Spirit Cult because Ye Xishui was good, but I didn't leave solely because of her."
"Do you think it's right for Shrek to establish Inspection Corps and relentlessly exterminate Evil Soul Master?"
"I've seen a lot of information within the Holy Spirit Cult. Many of those Evil Soul Master are helpless. Even if I knew before, I was powerless to change things. But now you see, there's hope in Huo Yuhao. Perhaps he can save the Holy Spirit Cult and save the Evil Soul Master."
Mu En frowned and cursed:
"You're talking complete nonsense!"
" Evil Soul Master are wreaking havoc on the continent, do you still want to distort the truth?"
"You don't see them killing people, but we're the ones oppressing them."
"Needless to say, I'm completely disappointed in you. I originally thought you were only obsessed with Ye Xishui, but now it seems you've gone utterly insane just like her."
"Let's get started."
The forces of light and darkness collided violently in the sky in an instant.
Xuan Zi flew into the sky to help, but was rebuked by Mu En.
"Don't help me, you should take them back to Shrek."
Xuan Zi immediately transformed into the Godly Taotie Bull.
"Get on my back quickly."
As he shouted, a chilling, piercing voice rang out, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
"If you don't want Mu En to die, you'd all better stay quiet."
Mu En was startled and wanted to turn around to defend himself, but was stopped by Long Xiaoyao.
Ye Xishui appeared and stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Yan Shaozhe, and said:
" Dean Yan, you'd better be sensible and hand over Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao."
"Hand over those two, and you can leave today."
Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly and said:
"Don't even think about taking my students away. You'll have to step over my dead body first."
Ye Xishui chuckled coldly:
"If you can withstand two of my moves, I'll let them go."
Xuan Zi charged forward.
"You old hag, your opponent is me!"
Ye Xishui's face was full of disgust, and she slapped him away.
The Godly Taotie Bull, which flew out suddenly, crashed into a large area of trees before coming to a stop.
Yan Shaozhe forced himself to step forward, but was instantly knocked to the ground.
Ye Xishui, sensing the power of light from her grandson, frowned slightly and said:
" The Bright Phoenix is so weak; is Dean Yan lacking in spiritual cultivation?"
Yan Shaozhe got up in a fit of rage and embarrassment.
"You old hag, how dare you talk to me about morality? How laughable!"
He charged forward again with all his might, but Ye Xishui still easily knocked him to the ground.
"I regret to inform you, Dean Yan, that you must hand over our Holy Son and Holy Daughter."
Ye Xishui immediately looked at Huo Yuhao. His Holy Necromancer Martial Soul could be said to be among the most amazing and top-tier even among the myriad of strange Evil Martial Soul.
