After listening to his proposal, all the teachers, including the headmaster, widened their eyes in shock...
The former spoke in an incredulous tone, "What? You actually want us to join forces with those evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult! That's utterly preposterous!"
Although Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy had its differences with Shrek Academy, they had never allied themselves with evil Soul Masters before!
After all, doing so would mean that Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy would have no standing in the Continent and become despised like vermin!
Hearing this, the teacher shrugged and said, "Headmaster, if we don't do this, we'll have to kill Teacher Liu and the others. I'm just making a suggestion!"
Immediately, he signaled with his eyes to Teacher Liu and two other teachers nearby...
They instantly understood the implication of his words and fell to their knees, pleading, "Headmaster, we have devoted so much effort to the academy— if not our merits, at least consider our hardships!"
"Yes, Headmaster, even if you kill us, would that really quell Shrek Academy's wrath?" they asked.
"Shrek Academy must have been displeased with us at Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy for a long time, who knows what kind of schemes they might be planning. Instead of that, why not go for a desperate struggle where either the fish dies or the net splits!"
After hearing these words, the headmaster interjected, "Enough! Don't let word of this get out. I'll think of another way, see if we can possibly obtain Shrek Academy's forgiveness!"
Even knowing it was unlikely, he still had to try!
After all, these teachers were the backbone of Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy; losing them would be a significant loss for the entire institution!
Relief washed over Teacher Liu and the others upon hearing this...
They knew they had narrowly saved their own lives.
As for allying with the Holy Spirit Cult? Are you kidding? Could that be more important than their own lives?
...
Not far from the legion!
Five figures dressed in grey-black robes were intently watching ahead with cold expressions...
It was none other than Ghost Emperor and his cohort!
The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this the location of the legion? I can indeed sense several powerful auras!"
Moreover, the most prominent among them was definitely no weaker than himself!
Nanali also nodded and said, "Yes, and what's more, there's not a single evil Soul Master around! Most likely, they've perished."
Hades spoke cautiously, "We should all be careful, this legion is probably not that simple!"
The Blood Demon saw the Soul Masters not far off and, with eyes full of murderous intent, licked his lips and sinisterly said, "Vice Sect Hierarch, perhaps you worry too much, could a mere legion really stand against us?"
"Exactly! If even we can't take down this place, I'm afraid this legion's strength must be at least first-rate!"
The Ghost Emperor swept a cold gaze over them and commanded, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's move!"
The others heard and nodded in agreement...
In the next moment, the five of them burst forth with astonishing speed, heading in different directions...
Their first goal was to establish a large enough barrier to prevent the legion's Soul Masters from escaping.
When they took their positions, the Ghost Emperor took a deep breath, and the sixth soul ring at his feet lit up...
Sixth Soul Skill, Ghostly Wail Netherworld!
In an instant, a barrier that seemed to change the color of heaven and earth surged out from behind him. With Soul Power boosting it, it expanded geometrically and in the blink of an eye, it had already enveloped half of the legion...
But it seemed to have reached its limit and began to slow down...
The other evil Soul Masters observing this scene also released their Soul Power, pouring it into the barrier to make it expand once again...
After around a few dozen seconds, the barrier had completely enveloped the entire legion...
Meanwhile, the members of the legion who were on alert also began to realize something was amiss...
"What's going on? Isn't it just noon? Why has the sky turned dark like this?"
"Something's not right, there's a gathering of eerie Soul Power around us. I'm afraid an evil Soul Master has launched an attack, quickly go inform the commander!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, all personnel to first-level alert, we are likely under attack by an evil Soul Master!"
"Evil Soul Master attack! Evil Soul Master attack!"
In an instant, the entire legion became as chaotic as a pot of porridge!
Because they had only known each other for a short time and had not experienced this kind of situation, they appeared somewhat hasty...
And the Ghost Emperor and his group, who had already created the barrier, had no intention of concealing their presence as they headed straight for the legion's main gate...
And when the members in charge of guarding the gate clearly saw their attire of black robes, they immediately recognized their identities...
One of the members trembled and said, "Stop... stop there, if you don't halt, we're going to launch an attack!"
Another member clenched his teeth and said, "Damn evil Soul Masters, why would you suddenly attack our legion!"
"Everyone, don't panic, they're only five people, and we have easily thousands, slaughtering them will be a piece of cake!"
"That's right, just five evil Soul Masters wanting to launch an attack on our legion, they're really underestimating us!"
The Ghost Emperor's face showed a cold smile, "Oh? Only five people. Having more doesn't mean you're strong!"
The next second, the terrifying aura of an Ultimate Douluo descended instantly upon the two legion members in front of him, blasting them into splatters of blood!
The legion members behind were blown away ten or so meters...
Hades opened his mouth and said, "Sect Hierarch, please refrain..."
The Ghost Emperor coldly snapped, "Do I need your instruction on how to handle things?"
If he didn't intimidate these small fry, they might still have the audacity to make noise somewhere!
Besides, he would kill whoever he wanted to kill, did he really need the former Vice Sect Hierarch to say more?
Hearing this, Hades chose silence...
However, at that moment, Di Tian, as well as the various ferocious beasts, had also started to move towards the interior of the legion, staring solemnly at the Ghost Emperor and his group in front of them...
Bi Ji whispered, "Di Tian, these evil Soul Masters, each one has reached the strength of a Hyper Douluo, I fear they've come with bad intentions!"
They had actually mobilized so many powerhouses, it seems that they were truly valued by the Holy Spirit Cult!
Di Tian nodded without a change in his expression, glanced at the obscured sky, and said coldly, "Hmm, I'm afraid those above us are also barriers!"
This also meant that the Ghost Emperor and his people had no intention of sparing any member of the legion!
"Boss, what should we do now? If a fight breaks out, the legion that we have hardly established might be destroyed!"
"Hmm! As long as it's for our lord, we must protect the entire legion!"
"That's right, at worst it's just death, do they really think we're afraid of them?!!!"
