After coming back to his senses, he expressed his surprise, "Is this... a soul bone produced by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? It seems, just as Wulin said, the truly precious things are all still buried underground!"
If the civilians and Soul Masters in the area discovered this, they would likely sell it without hesitation!
After all, soul bones of this era are truly priceless!
However, just as he had stowed it away, a piercing scream suddenly rang out beside his ear...
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Yuanen Yehui, who had just reacted, immediately rushed towards the direction of the sound...
He saw Xu Xiaoyan pointing down with a pale face, her mouth trembling non-stop...
Yuanen Yehui placed his hand on her shoulder and gently said, "Xiao Yan, what just happened?"
Xu Xiaoyan swallowed hard, "Corpses... there are so many corpses down there!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui also followed the direction she pointed to look...
Below, there lay corpse after corpse, their bones filled with the stench of decay...
After a careful investigation with his spiritual power, he found nothing unusual about them...
Yuanen Yehui then said again, "Phew... Xiao Yan, they're just bones left from decayed corpses, no need to be so scared!"
Honestly, it was unexpected that Xu Xiaoyan, who had reached the rank of Ultimate Douluo in soul power, would be afraid of these bones!
Who knew, Xu Xiaoyan shook her head vehemently, "Ye Hui, no, it's not that. These White Bones, their empty eye sockets earlier glowed with a flame, and they even started moving!!!"
Yuanen Yehui frowned, "Xiao Yan, it must be your imagination. I've checked with my spiritual power; these bones have nothing unusual about them. They're completely dead objects!"
Xu Xiaoyan didn't change her attitude because of this, but instead said with certainty, "No, I'm sure there's something strange about these bones. Ye Hui, we can't be careless!"
Hearing this, Yuanen Yehui knew that the expression on her face didn't seem fake...
Perhaps, she had really seen what she just described!
After taking a deep breath, she nodded and said, "I understand. Xiao Yan, you go search somewhere else, I'll take care of this place."
If there really was something strange, it would be too dangerous to let Xiao Yan, a control-class Soul Master, face it alone!
Xu Xiaoyan didn't refuse, but she reminded Yuanen again, "Hmm, but Ye Hui, you must be very careful!"
Although it was unknown why these White Bones became normal again this minute, there was definitely something sinister about them!
Having said this, she turned and left the place...
Yuanen Yehui then turned her gaze back to these bones and said coldly, "Let's see if you're really playing dead or not!"
She released her Martial Soul, the Fallen Angel!
The terrifying aura of Evil instantly spread out from this spot, rippling outward...
Feeling this aura, the White Bones seemed reinvigorated, gray flames starting to flicker in their eyes, their bodies trembling wildly...
Yuanen Yehui's gaze instantly turned ice-cold as she prepared to attack...
But among these bones, one suddenly spoke in a deep voice...
"Don't... Don't attack!!"
Yuanen Yehui didn't relax her guard, "What exactly are you?"
The White Bone replied in a deep voice, "I... I am... a student of Shrek Academy!"
"No... so are they!"
Yuanen Yehui's pupils constricted, she was shocked, "What?? You mean to say... you all are students of Shrek Academy??"
```
"No... No mistake!"
All the White Bones nodded in unison...
Yuanen Yehui clenched his fists and asked again, "If you are students of Shrek Academy, why have you become like this?"
There should only be one person who possesses an Evil Martial Soul and studies at Shrek Academy, and that's me!!
The White Bone fell silent for several seconds, seemingly in thought...
Then it answered, "We... We were attacked by evil Soul Masters and killed. Our bodies were enslaved and our souls were eternally trapped within these dry bones!!"
After hearing this, Yuanen Yehui finally became enraged, "These evil Soul Masters, they truly deserve death!!"
Not only did they kill them, but they also permanently imprisoned their souls. What a malicious act!
If it weren't for today's discovery, their souls might never have found peace!!
However, the White Bone then asked again, "How is... How is the academy now??"
Although no longer human, they still wanted to know the fate of Shrek Academy!
Yuanen Yehui patiently explained, "Shrek Academy has been rebuilt with the help of the Tang Sect, and Tang Wulin, ah... the former captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters, has also taken over as the Sea God Pavilion Master!"
"It's currently developing in a positive direction..."
Hearing this response, the former managed to force a smile with its bones, "That's good to know. Then, we have no regrets. After all, failing to protect the academy, it would not be too much to call ourselves sinners!"
Yuanen Yehui shook his head and interrupted, "No, you all were willing to sacrifice your lives for the academy. Even though the outcome was not as desired, without a doubt, you are all heroes!!"
"Shrek Academy will never forget your contribution!!"
The White Bones looked at each other and unexpectedly made sobbing sounds...
Clearly, they all felt that what they had done before was not in vain!
Yuanen Yehui composed himself and said earnestly, "Next, I will remove the curse of the evil Soul Master for you, so that your souls can rest in peace. Of course, it will be somewhat painful!!"
After all, forcibly extracting the soul is naturally not going to be easy!
The White Bones said nothing, but, the former could feel the meaning they expressed!!
Yuanen Yehui pursed his lips, "So be it, pardon the offense!!"
Clearly visible to the naked eye, the Fallen Angel behind him opened its abyss-like eyes...
Immediately after, a wave of purely evil power enveloped all the White Bones below, invading their souls frenziedly...
"Aaahhhh!!!"
Agonized cries echoed forth...
But gradually, those voices began to change...
"I... My soul has successfully freed itself from the dry bones, this is wonderful!!"
"Yes, it's wonderful. I thought I'd be imprisoned within these bones for life; I never expected to see the light of day again!"
"I'm free, at last free. I can finally escape the control of those evil Soul Masters!!"
As the White Bones fell to the ground one by one, their souls reemerged!
Yuanen Yehui breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems to have been a success, but this is all I can do, I can't bring you back to life!"
