Capítulo 1560: Chapter 1513: Arrival at Xingluo Continent (Please Subscribe)_1

At this moment, Guan Yue's face was icy as she stared at the middle-aged man before her and coldly demanded, "What do you mean by this?"

She wanted a reasonable explanation from the man!

The latter forced a smile and said, "Your excellency Yue Tianmian, since the War God Hall, Shrek Academy, and Spirit Pagoda, the three major powers, have already joined forces in the eradication of the Holy Spirit Cult, it's more than enough to wipe them out!"

"Surely our small sect's involvement would be of no consequence!"

These smaller sects, unlike the major powers, had very few members, relying on the mere dozens who joined each year to keep everything running smoothly!

If they were to suffer losses during this campaign against the Holy Spirit Cult, it might even affect the entire sect!

Nobody would want to take such a great risk on a gamble!

Guan Yue rebuked sharply, "When it comes to dealing with evil Soul Masters, everyone should kill them on sight. Now that we have located the Holy Spirit Cult, shouldn't every power contribute their strength?"

It was precisely because of these selfish thoughts that there was never a way to annihilate evil Soul Masters completely!

The middle-aged man clearly had lost any interest in the conversation and apologized, "No need to say more, your excellency Yue Tianmian. Please return, as there's nothing we can do about this situation!"

Having said this, he turned and walked away...

Witnessing this scene, Guan Yue erupted with terrifying soul power fluctuations and shattered the table before her with a single palm...

She roared, "What a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! They can't even see through such a simple matter!"

If it had been just one sect, she wouldn't have been so angry...

But aside from the few sects comparable to the Body Sect, nearly all of the medium and small sects resolutely declined her invitation, each making up excuses to avoid involvement!

In short, they simply didn't want to get involved, for fear of harming their sect's foundation!!

...

Meanwhile, the Giant Wheel, which was en route to Xingluo Land, also arrived at its destination, the largest dock of the coastal city...

However, the dock now seemed like purgatory, enveloped by a blood-red gloom...

As everyone disembarked from the ship, they were all shocked by the scene before them...

Everywhere across the dock lay pools of blood, with hundreds of Soul Masters sprawled lifelessly within them, their eyes wide open in unaccepting death...

"What... What happened here? There's such a strong scent of blood in the air!"

"Hiss... Everyone, look quickly, the entire dock is filled with dried-up corpses! Even the blood has been diluted! They must have been dead for some time!"

"How... How terrifying! And their death was extremely gruesome, most likely tortured to death!"

"Could this be the work of evil Soul Masters? Only they could commit such cruel acts!"

Xie Xie clenched his teeth tightly, "These evil Soul Masters are completely heartless! They even didn't spare children!"

Tang Wulin spoke gravely, "Since they're called evil Soul Masters, most of them have a lust for blood! Doing such inhumane things is not unexpected!"

Ye Xinglan clenched her fists, "The Holy Spirit Cult's reach has extended to Xingluo Land, who knows how long it will take to completely eradicate the evil Soul Masters."

Gu Yue said coldly, "In summary, everyone just keep their eyes open! Being cautious isn't a bad thing!"

Pan Wen, who was responsible for this journey, suddenly looked gloomy, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it! These things never happened before, why now..."

It was just too strange!

First, they suffered an attack by sea soul beasts, and then such an incident occurred at Xingluo Continent's largest port!

Sect Master Mu's eyes swept over the bodies on the ground, and after sensing the evil aura, he said coldly, "It was indeed the work of evil Soul Masters! And...judging by the expressions of these victims, they were likely lying in ambush here in advance!"

Xu Sheng replied indifferently, "So you're saying… those evil Soul Masters originally planned to attack us, but vented their anger on these Soul Masters after encountering the sea soul beasts midway."

This statement brightened the eyes of many powerhouses, who then discussed with confusion, "But how did the Holy Spirit Cult find out the exact timing and location of our trip to Xingluo Land for the exchange event?"

"It's simple, there are spies from the Holy Spirit Cult among us!"

"Hmm, with such a detailed setup, I definitely won't believe there are no spies!"

"Given this, with evil Soul Masters having infiltrated our ranks, aren't we all in constant fear of being stabbed in the back every day!"

However, there were also some who had already expressed displeasure and suspicion…

"Humph! Whether there are spies or not, I don't know, but with so many incidents happening one after another, I'm afraid someone is manipulating things from behind the scenes!"

"I suspect that the people from Xingluo Imperial Academy must be involved in this! Otherwise, how would the Holy Spirit Cult have known that this dock was our final destination?"

"Could it be that they fear that our Great Sects will stand out during the exchange event, and so they conspired with the evil Soul Masters to launch an attack?"

"I'd rather not participate in this so-called exchange event. Better to go back to the academy!"

Upon hearing this, the students from Xingluo Imperial Academy felt as if they had been insulted…

They retorted angrily, "You... You're spewing slander! How could our Xingluo Imperial Academy possibly associate and be tarnished by the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"How can you utter such defamatory words without conclusive evidence? Do you really think our Xingluo Imperial Academy has no dignity?"

"If we really were in cahoots with the Holy Spirit Cult, how could you possibly still be alive to make it here!"

And the Star Luo Delegation Leader, with a look, stopped them and then spoke seriously, "Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you as the Delegation Leader that this operation has absolutely nothing to do with Xingluo Imperial Academy. All this must be the scheming of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Although there were still some who were dissatisfied, upon hearing this statement, they did not say much more…

At that moment, Secretary-General Pan turned to him and inquired, "So what next…"

The other party replied solemnly, "Secretary-General Pan, personally, I believe we should let everyone enjoy a few days in the coastal city to alleviate the tense atmosphere!"

"Moreover, since the Holy Spirit Cult's attack was unsuccessful, they have certainly left. We should not rashly interrupt our schedule due to such an incident!"

What he needed to do now was to stabilize everyone's emotions!

Pan Wen nodded his head in agreement, then looked towards Teacher Xu and Sect Master Mu, "Sect Master Mu, Elder Xu, what are your opinions?"

Xu Sheng showed a hint of sarcasm, "Let's do just that; after all, the two incidents that occurred have cast a significant shadow on the students!"

Sect Master Mu said hoarsely, "I have no objections either. Although the schedule is somewhat nettlesome, thankfully, no casualties occurred!"

It was fortunate that was the case, otherwise, the Xingluo Land's exchange event would have definitely been disrupted!

The Star Luo Delegation Leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will rearrange the schedule immediately! I'll adjust it so that every student can participate in the exchange event with a positive mindset, without causing any delays!"
