Chapter 7: The Holy Spirit Sect
"This Star Dou Auction Pavilion is even more extraordinary than we imagined. To be able to quietly cultivate an Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouse with an ultimate attribute, their foundation must be extraordinary," Mu Lao thought to himself, fully aware that the situation before him was extremely difficult and had to be handled with caution.
At this moment, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the hall, landing directly in front of Xuan Lao.
"Mu Lao, there is news."
"According to the investigation, the Star Dou Auction Pavilion is located at the far east of Shrek City, an area that is barren. Just a few days ago, an auction pavilion suddenly appeared there."
"I did not allow further investigation, as the Star Dou Auction Pavilion is an unknown entity, and I didn't want to alert them prematurely, so I interrupted the search," Xuan Lao reported the results of the investigation in full.
Besides knowing the location of the Star Dou Auction Pavilion, they knew nothing else.
Once this information was revealed, all the Sea God Pavilion members present fell into silence.
Their faces showed serious expressions, not knowing how to resolve this matter.
The atmosphere in the hall grew unusually heavy, as if the air itself had solidified.
"Three days from now, I will attend the Star Dou Auction Pavilion's auction."
Mu Lao's tone was firm as he made the decision to personally go to the Star Dou Auction Pavilion to investigate and uncover the truth behind this mysterious force.
"No, Mu Lao, your current physical condition absolutely cannot allow you to take risks. I will go instead," Xuan Lao immediately voiced his concerns, trying to stop him.
He knew full well that Mu Lao's body was already in a fragile state.
If he ventured to the unknown Star Dou Auction Pavilion, an accident could happen on the way.
Mu Lao was crucial to the future of Shrek Academy.
His safety was directly related to the survival of the academy. If anything happened to him, it would spell disaster for Shrek Academy.
"Don't argue. Since the invitation has already been delivered to Shrek Academy, the other forces will, without a doubt, receive their invitations as well."
Mu Lao raised his hand, cutting off the conversation with a tone that left no room for dissent.
"I believe the other party will not take any extreme actions."
For the future of Shrek Academy, he had to go personally.
He needed to find out the true purpose of the Star Dou Auction Pavilion and uncover the conspiracy hiding behind it.
"Besides, I also want to witness how the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul is auctioned."
Mu Lao added, continuing his reasoning.
On one hand, he was genuinely curious about the Star Dou Auction Pavilion; on the other hand, he was even more concerned about the existence of the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.
He really wanted to know what method was used to successfully transfer the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul to another soul master.
"Teacher, I'll go with you," Yán Shàozhè insisted, unwilling to let Mu Lao face such danger alone.
He knew how dangerous this journey was, but he didn't want Mu Lao to face the unknown risks by himself.
"No need, Xuan Zi will accompany me. You all remain to protect the safety of Shrek Academy."
Mu Lao decisively made arrangements.
If this was a conspiracy and they all left Shrek Academy, the academy would be left vulnerable to danger.
To ensure the safety of Shrek Academy, he had to leave behind some trusted individuals.
"Understood, Mu Lao."
Although everyone still had concerns, they did not argue with Mu Lao's decision.
They could only reluctantly nod and follow his orders.
...
After delivering the invitation to Shrek Academy, Lei Yao quickly proceeded to deliver two more invitations to the imperial palaces of the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Afterward, he arrived at a desolate area.
There was no sign of life, and the air was filled with a foul, strange aura that made Lei Yao frown in discomfort.
However, he could sense an exceptionally strong presence emanating from here.
Lei Yao followed the aura to an underground palace.
As he descended further into the palace, he eventually reached the deepest part, where a blood-red altar stood.
Sitting atop the altar was a woman in a black gown, her hood covering her face. She was continuously absorbing the surrounding evil energy.
At this moment, the woman sitting on the altar seemed to sense Lei Yao's arrival.
Her body trembled slightly, and she immediately stood up, slowly turning around.
A large mask covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Who's there?"
The woman's voice rang out like a bell, reverberating through the entire underground palace.
She raised her right hand, and a surge of evil energy poured out from her palm, forming a massive red beam of light that shot toward Lei Yao like a blazing fire.
The overwhelming pressure from her palm caused strong waves of force, instilling fear in the air.
"Hmph!"
Lei Yao raised his right hand as well, silently chanting a spell.
"Boom!"
In an instant, purple lightning poured from the sky, roaring like a giant dragon, heading straight for the red beam of light.
The two powerful attacks collided, creating a massive explosion-like shockwave.
The evil energy in the air was instantly shattered by the thunderous force, turning into nothingness.
At that moment, the woman in front was forced back, stumbling and retreating several dozen steps.
Her body trembled slightly, clearly shaken by the impact.
Lei Yao had no intention of continuing the fight. He left a golden invitation floating in mid-air and transformed into a streak of lightning, disappearing from the spot.
The woman stood still, her eyes showing a mixture of shock and confusion.
She looked at her hand, where the lightning had burned her skin, and fell into silence.
Beneath the mask, her face was filled with a solemn expression.
"Vroom vroom vroom!"
At that moment, a dark force surged in from a distance, followed by a middle-aged man appearing beside the woman.
"Xishui, what just happened? Why did I sense the aura of another Ultimate Douluo? Could it be Mu En?"
If anyone were to see the two of them, they would recognize them as the other two Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses on Douluo Continent besides Mu En.
One was the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul: Long Xiaoyao.
The other was the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect: Ye Xishui.
"It's another unfamiliar Ultimate Douluo, and this one has the Ultimate Thunder attribute."
Ye Xishui removed the mask from her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful countenance.
Under the illumination of the evil energy, her face appeared even more enchanting and alluring.
