The next day!
The Spirit Pagoda branches in various cities began to gather manpower, mobilizing tens of thousands of people, to start the nonstop purge of the Holy Spirit Cult's strongholds...
Meanwhile, Nanali and several Titled Douluo-level evil Soul Masters constantly moved from one base to another to avoid unnecessary battles, but they were still quickly discovered by the Spirit Pagoda's purge forces...
At this moment, one of the evil Soul Masters angrily shouted, "Damn it, are the people from the Spirit Pagoda crazy? They even mobilized manpower from various sub-towers for a large-scale purge of our Holy Spirit Cult's strongholds!"
Another evil Soul Master gritted his teeth, "I don't recall our Holy Spirit Cult ever offending the Spirit Pagoda. There's no reason for them to pursue us like mad dogs!"
"Hmph, the Spirit Pagoda is truly hypocritical. They weren't like this when they joined forces with our Holy Spirit Cult in the past."
"There's no choice; the new Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda seems to have a strong hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult. It seems there's some complicated relationship with the Lord Darkness Phoenix!!"
"If the Spirit Pagoda's people pursue us again, we'll fight them. We evil Soul Masters aren't pushovers!"
However, this proposal was denied by Nanali, "No!"
The strong forces leading the Spirit Pagoda this time included two Ultimate Douluo and several Hyper Douluo, which were completely beyond what they could handle!
The only way was to avoid the confrontation temporarily and wait for the Spirit Pagoda to stop the purge on its own!
The evil Soul Master closest to her hesitated, "But Lord of Dark Bell, if we keep fleeing like this, it'll disrupt the Demon Emperor's plan..."
Nanali only glanced at him, "It doesn't matter. We just need to continue diverting the Spirit Pagoda's attention, allowing the evil Soul Masters at other points to retreat quickly."
It's strange to say, but the Holy Spirit Cult infiltrated Skysea City and used it as their initial stronghold to expand outward...
The Spirit Pagoda should have discovered it first, but they did nothing, just watching coldly!
This time, however, they're making such a commotion; it can't be that simple!
But a second later, as if something occurred to her mind, she thought to herself, "Wait, could it be because of the attack on Tang Wulin?"
No... no, Tang Wulin should have no relation to the Spirit Pagoda...
Then it all boils down to the young male Titled Douluo she had killed not long ago!
He likely held a significant position within the federation!
Upon connecting these thoughts, Nanali understood the ins and outs of the whole matter!
Just as she wished to speak more, an evil Soul Master rushed in frantically and urgently reported, "Report... to Lord of Dark Bell, the Spirit Pagoda's people have caught up again, and they've destroyed several of the closest strongholds!"
Nanali took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "Notify everyone to retreat immediately! Do not engage with the Spirit Pagoda head-on!"
The former slightly bowed, "Yes, Lord of Dark Bell!"
...
Outside Shrek City!
The Shrek Seven Monsters were leading the inner court students slowly toward the evil Soul Masters' stronghold...
Yuanen Yehui couldn't help reminding, "We're about to reach the evil Soul Masters' stronghold. Everyone, stay alert!"
Facing evil Soul Masters, even the weakest opponent must be treated with full strength!
In an instant, the inner court students straightened up, their eyes fixated on the front...
They were ready to battle at any moment...
Seeing this, Yue Zhengyu frowned and said, "Yehui, shouldn't we take action?"
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, "Yes, let the juniors handle this battle on their own!"
Ye Xinglan pondered, "If we were to eradicate the evil Soul Masters, there would be no point in leading the juniors here. I think Yehui sees it that way!"
Xu Xiaoyan pursed her thin lips, "Even though that makes sense, I still think it's a bit too risky!"
Xie Xie shrugged, "What's the big deal? We just need to keep watch; if the juniors can't handle it, we immediately give support!"
After careful consideration, Yue Zhengyu and the others agreed...
Yuanen Yehui then looked at the juniors beside her and said seriously, "The upcoming battle with the evil Soul Masters will be handled by you. If anything unexpected happens, we'll support you immediately!"
Everyone focused their gaze and seriously said, "Understood!"
Yuanen Yehui said nothing more, "Then... proceed, aim for a decisive strike, give the evil Soul Masters no chance to resist!"
With those words, they took a deep breath and cautiously infiltrated the evil Soul Masters' stronghold...
But before they got close, they were detected by the evil Soul Master in charge of watch...
The other party exclaimed without hesitation, "Not good, we're under attack!"
The leading man among the inner court students immediately shouted, "Go!!"
In an instant, everyone unleashed their Martial Souls and, while most of the evil Soul Masters were still unresponsive, they immediately executed their strongest moves!
"Sixth Soul Skill, thunderous strike!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Thousand Edge Illusion Sword!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, All-encompassing Kunlun!"
...
In the blink of an eye, most of the evil Soul Masters were torn apart, staining the ground with layers of blood...
Only a small portion barely reacted in time to block the attack!
Yue Zhengyu looked delighted and said, "Well done, it seems our worries were unfounded!"
Xu Xiaoyan also praised, "Yes, after all, they are inner court students, their strength is not bad!"
Xie Xie stretched leisurely, clicking his tongue, "Seems there's no need for us to step in. Just this number of evil Soul Masters isn't enough for the juniors!"
Suddenly, Ye Xinglan seemed to sense something, and cold sweat broke out on her back, "Yehui, did you feel that?"
Yuanen Yehui narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Indeed! There's an evil presence of Titled Douluo, even Hyper Douluo, around us!"
Immediately, they moved to the juniors' side...
The leading man seemed to notice something, puzzled, "Sister Yuanen, what's happening?"
The others also looked at her in confusion...
Hearing this, Yuanen Yehui explained, "A powerful opponent is about to arrive!"
Everyone's heart clenched, thinking, "For even Sister Yuanen, who has already broken through to Titled Douluo, to think of it as a powerful opponent, could it be another Titled Douluo, or even a Hyper Douluo?"
Sure enough, a few minutes later, several evil Soul Masters in black robes arrived at the stronghold...
After careful sensing, they found that there were three Titled Douluo and one Hyper Douluo among them!
The leading Hyper Douluo-level evil Soul Master glanced at the bodies on the ground and looked at Yuanen Yehui and the others with a sinister and cold gaze...
"Daring to take action in our Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, do you have a death wish!"
After he finished speaking, a terrifying power erupted from his body, causing the entire space to become significantly oppressive, with a shadow looming over it...
