Dai Yueyan didn't argue, but still hesitated, "The State Preceptor's words make sense. However, if we don't act now and wait for the return of the Holy Spirit Cult's powerful members, it will be a missed opportunity."
Eradicating the evil Soul Masters within the Xingluo Empire has always been a wish of mine, and even of my father, Dai Tianling!
Seeing the situation, En Ci's expression was complicated, "Your Majesty, since you've said such words, I assume you've already made your decision in your heart."
As the State Preceptor, he could only provide his recommendations, not make decisions for the former!
However, as long as it benefits the Xingluo Empire, he would never decline!
Dai Yueyan took a deep breath and immediately nodded, "Hmm! I've still decided to launch a clearing operation against the Holy Spirit Cult; we cannot let them act recklessly in the Xingluo Empire!"
"Therefore, State Preceptor, I am appointing you to command this fully. You may call upon all the Empire's army and Soul Masters to complete this mission at the lowest possible cost!"
En Ci didn't show any dissatisfaction towards the order, calmly stating, "Alright!"
"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
Dai Yueyan's pupils tightened, "There is one more matter. I wish to donate some resources to Soul Land. Who do you think will be suitable to handle this matter?"
Upon hearing this, En Ci immediately saw through the former's intentions. Clearly, His Majesty is very worried about the abyssal creatures…
He immediately spoke up, "For this matter, I do have a very suitable candidate!"
Dai Yueyan replied excitedly, "Oh? State Preceptor, feel free to speak your mind!"
En Ci looked directly at the former and spoke word by word, "That would be Her Royal Highness the Princess! She is not only a member of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire but has also been studying at Shrek Academy for so long; her personal involvement in the support would fully express the Empire's emphasis on this matter!"
No sooner had these words dropped than Dai Yueyan rejected the suggestion…
"No way, the abyss is too dangerous; I cannot risk Yun'er's life on this!"
The last time Dai Yun'er quietly returned to the Xingluo Empire, the recollection still sends chills down his spine!
How could he possibly send her to Soul Land again now!
En Ci pursed his lips, "Your Majesty, to be honest, the reason I recommend Her Royal Highness is because she specially came to see me!"
Probably knowing that Dai Yueyan was too stressed, she wanted to share some of the pressure…
Dai Yueyan showed a bit of surprise, "State Preceptor, do you mean this is Yun'er's idea?"
At this moment, Dai Yun'er's voice came from outside, "Brother, can I come in?"
Instantly, Dai Yueyan's expression became complicated, "Come in!"
After receiving permission, Dai Yun'er pushed open the door and entered…
Her beautiful eyes looked at the two, and she softly said, "Brother, and State Preceptor!"
En Ci nodded slightly, saying nothing more…
Dai Yueyan's gaze fixated on Dai Yun'er, "Yun'er, how long have you been eavesdropping outside?"
Dai Yun'er looked a bit guilty, "Not long, I just… happened to pass by!"
Dai Yueyan sneered, "Really? The State Preceptor just told me everything! Are you sure you were just passing by?"
Realizing her lie was exposed, Dai Yun'er took a deep breath, "Brother… I am also a member of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, so, I want to share some pressure with you!"
Dai Yueyan's expression became serious, "Yun'er, this is not a joke; abyssal creatures are extremely terrifying, even the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have lost two in battle, not to mention regular Soul Masters whose casualties are severe!"
Dai Yun'er pouted and protested, "Brother, it's just sending them some resources; I won't be in danger!"
She didn't want the former to keep treating her like a child!
...
Jiang Qiyue then straightened her back, and said proudly, "That's more like it! Now, back to the previous question, let's start investigating from the high-ranking members!"
Yet as soon as the words were out, everyone looked at her with strange eyes…
Tang Wulin awkwardly said, "Um, July, currently, I'm the captain of the Blood Dragon Squad"
The former took over immediately upon arrival, which isn't a good way to blend into the team!
Jiang Qiyue suddenly realized, covering her mouth with a few coughs, "Cough… cough cough, used to commanding in the Blood God Army; it's all the Commander's fault for handing every task to me!"
Although experienced absolute authority, it truly was exhausting!
With that thought, she stepped back and stood among the Blood Dragon Squad…
Tang Wulin then continued, "So, just like Colonel Jiang Qiyue mentioned, we'll start investigating from the high-ranking members; if anyone has no objections?"
All the Blood Dragon Squad members shook their heads, choosing unconditional trust!
Tang Wulin nodded, "Very good"
After saying this, he turned to Yue Zhengyu and the others!
"Everyone, I'll take Blood Dragon Squad to leave first; please remain alert!"
The Blood God Army is enormous, so if we want to finish the investigation by night, every minute must be captured!
Yue Zhengyu made a no-problem gesture, "Wulin, you better go; we'll take care of here!"
Xie Xie then flexed his pitifully thin biceps, "Yes, if evil Soul Masters dare approach, we'll smash their heads!"
Xu Xiaoyan also reminded, "You all be cautious too, the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters might retaliate without concern when desperate!"
With a slight indication, the Blood Dragon Squad started the investigation…
...
On the other side!
One guest elder bent down with a serious expression, "Report to the Sect Hierarch, two pieces we planted in the Blood God Army a long time ago have been exposed, and currently they have been killed by Blood One!"
"It seems to be involved with that destroyed ruins!"
Another guest elder didn't speak but cautiously watched Ghost Emperor, seemingly prepared to endure whatever scolding the latter might utter next!
Yet upon hearing, Ghost Emperor showed not a hint of anger, instead coldly smiled, "How ruthless indeed, clearly they've been fighting side by side for so long, but just for a single identity as an evil Soul Master, they can be decisively killed!"
The ever silent Leng Yulai seemed to recall something, her cheeks showing a bit of sentiment, "In this aspect, they are even more ruthless than our Holy Spirit Cult!"
Halosa disdainfully said, "Tsk, humans are selfish; once threatened, they show their fangs!"
Fortunately, he was different; he never trusted anyone from the start!
Ghost Emperor glanced at the two, "The reason evil Soul Masters are called evil Soul Masters is because their Martial Souls cause them to be frowned upon by others, hence, as long as everyone becomes an evil Soul Master, there will be no distinction between Soul Masters and evil Soul Masters!"
Evil Soul Masters turning into regular Soul Masters is almost impossible, but Soul Masters turning into evil Soul Masters is extremely easy!
Then, he questioned the guest elder, "What of the remaining pieces?"
The guest elder swallowed his throat, "Reporting Sect Hierarch, most pieces have yet to be discovered, although Blood Dragon Squad, Shrek Seven Monsters' captain Tang Wulin, is using the Sea God's Trident for the search!"
