At this moment, the people sent by the Martial Soul Hall to investigate the Seven Great Sects already knew why not a single person had come.
They returned to the Pope Hall and immediately reported.
"Pope, all members of the Seven Great Sects have been killed by Ye Yu."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was shocked: "How could this be?"
"Ye Yu first destroyed the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect, and this matter has already spread. When we went to check the distant avenue, we saw dismembered limbs and large amounts of pus. According to the surrounding residents, it has been confirmed that all died at Ye Yu's hands. While the destruction of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect by Ye Yu is something we can no longer control, we have managed to suppress news of the six other sects being destroyed by controlling the witnesses among the residents."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief. If the news got out, it would be troublesome.
For others, being wiped out by Ye Yu alone would be hard to believe, but the Martial Soul Hall had already witnessed Ye Yu's terrifying power when he turned the tide of the Soul Hunting Operation in an instant.
The destruction of the Seven Great Sects was a significant loss to them, as they were already part of the Martial Soul Hall.
Bibi Dong's expression turned ugly, furious yet helpless, forcing herself to calm down and arrange: "Support other sects in secret."
"Yes."
Since the incident hasn't spread, other sects would naturally join under the Martial Soul Hall's support.
Afterward, the Martial Soul Hall increased the reward for Ye Yu's capture.
At this time, Ye Yu headed to Tian Dou City because Shrek Academy had moved there.
The Tian Dou Royal Family knew they couldn't oppose the Martial Soul Hall, so they requested Shrek Academy to relocate to Tian Dou City. As a royal honored guest elder, Master was responsible for training soul masters for the Tian Dou Royal Family, which also heavily funded Shrek Academy for mutual benefit.
Being close to the Royal Family, it became difficult for the Martial Soul Hall to target Shrek.
Ye Yu quickly approached Tian Dou City, taking out a conical hat from Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night to wear.
Ye Yu naturally knew that the Martial Soul Hall had intensified their search for him, and to avoid unnecessary trouble from some mindless minions, he wore the conical hat.
Ye Yu was naturally unafraid of trouble; anyone below Titled Douluo was negligible to him. He simply couldn't afford to waste time on some minor characters.
At this time, Tang San had already convinced the Power Race to join the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect was no longer just him. Under Vast Heaven Sect, there were four subsidiary sects: Power, Breaking, Agility, and Control. Hence, he still needed to persuade the other three to join.
At this time, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu were at Shrek Academy, which had become larger and more magnificent in Tian Dou City.
On the playground, Oscar and his companions were in physical training when a student rushed over respectfully: "Senior, Sister, someone is here to make trouble."
Ma Hongjun was enraged: "Hmm? Someone actually dares to make trouble at Shrek? Who is it?"
"It seems to be from the Four Elements Academy, saying they've come to spar with our academy. Four entire academies have come, numbering over forty people, and they're competing against some of our students. Master and Deputy Dean Liu Erlong are training royal soul masters in the Tian Dou Royal Family. Dean Flande and Deputy Dean Zhao Wuji took a group of Level 30 students to hunt soul beasts, leaving our academy's elite absent, but luckily you seniors are here."
Ma Hongjun moved his hands and feet and said, "Xiao Ao, Xiao Wu, then let's go take a look. It's been a long time since we've seen the Four Elements Academy. Let's see how much they've improved."
The three arrived outside the academy, and the students spontaneously made way.
At this moment, a soul master in a red school uniform defeated a student from Shrek Academy.
Ma Hongjun and the others looked over and recognized quite a few faces.
Here were the captain of Divine Wind Academy's team, Feng Xiaotian, and his teammates, as well as Blaze Academy's team captain, Huo Wushuang, and vice-captain Huo Wu, Celestial Water Team members Shui Bing'Er, Shui Yue'Er, Thunder Team member Yu Tianxin, among others.
On Shrek's side, apart from some students in their twenties, there were teachers Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, and Li Yusong, but their expressions were not good, obviously suffering losses. The visitors not only included students from the Four Elements Academy but also eight powerful teachers, all in their sixties or early seventies with a massive level advantage.
Ma Hongjun laughed, "So it's you all. What's up? Feeling sore about losing the Soul Master competition last time and coming to cause trouble?"
Feng Xiaotian smiled, "It's been a while. We're not here to cause trouble. We heard Shrek moved to Tian Dou City, so we just came to say hello."
Xiao Wu, being the big sister at the academy, was naturally displeased seeing her juniors being beaten.
"Say hello? Then why force entry into the academy and injure the students on duty?"
Feng Xiaotian laughed sheepishly, "It's a misunderstanding; our junior students acted impulsively."
Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, "A misunderstanding? Then if I beat your students, is that also a misunderstanding?"
A more hot-tempered Huo Wu snorted coldly, "Then do you want to compete against us? Gather Shrek's Seven Monsters and One Demon, and let's have another match! Whoever loses apologizes."
Upon hearing this, Oscar laughed.
"The way you are now, you still want to challenge us Seven Monsters?"
Ma Hongjun mocked, "Even against the seven of us, you're all unworthy of challenging our Boss Yu."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu got angry: "We've gotten stronger over the past five years! You cannot imagine our efforts!"
Xiao Wu ignored Huo Wu's statement and looked at Yu Tianxin, sighing lightly, "You're here to provoke too? After your sect almost got wiped out, you still have the heart to come; you have really strong nerves."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianxin frowned, "We're just here to exchange greetings and spar, to see each other's progress."
Over the past five years, they've aimed to defeat Ye Yu and others, so naturally, with Shrek Academy moving to Tian Dou City, they had to come to see them and compete.
Feng Xiaotian said, "Don't underestimate us; we truly have grown stronger."
Feng Xiaotian looked at Oscar, hopeful: "You might have grown stronger too; we really wish to have a match against you all."
Feng Xiaotian could sense Oscar's transformation; his appearance became more resolute, and his temperament changed dramatically.
Huo Wu mocked, "Are you afraid? Maybe you are since when you won last time, it was primarily due to Ye Yu, and partially Tang San, but now it seems neither is here?"
Upon hearing this, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu directly became angry.
"We will compete. We're not afraid of you!"
At this moment, Rongrong arrived and naturally overheard, feeling very upset.
Feng Xiaotian said, "Then let's do it. You 'Seven Monsters and One Demon' only have four here, so we won't take advantage of you; we'll send four people too."
Ma Hongjun waved his hand, "No need, no need. You Four Elements' seven-man team together, we four are enough."
Feng Xiaotian frowned, "All these years, I haven't given up on pursuing Huo Wu, but I know defeating your Seven Monsters or Ye Yu will let me be together with Huo Wu."
Oscar sighed, "Have you still not given up? Such requirements mean she's rejecting you; you still don't understand."
Feng Xiaotian raised his right hand, spreading his fingers confidently and excitedly: "I've developed the soul technique Gale Demon Wolf Slash, reaching up to 360 slashes! My hand speed is faster! So, these five years, do you know how I've spent them?"
At this moment, a voice came from behind them, carrying a teasing tone.
"These five years, spent together with your right hand, right?"
