Chapter 434: Shrek, Trapped in Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley
Huo Yuhao had every reason to be confident in his words.
To put it bluntly, in today's Sun Moon Empire, nearly every Soul Engineer Legion had received substantial benefits from Spirit Pagoda, establishing strong cooperative relationships.
Moreover, they had Kong Deming an even more powerful figure as their open backer.
So, as long as Huo Yuhao issued a command, there was no chance that these Soul Engineer Legions would actually attempt to capture the Body Sect.
Even if Xu Tianran ascended the throne and ordered the arrest of the Body Sect's members, if that order conflicted with Huo Yuhao's command, the Soul Engineer Legions would either pretend to act or simply turn a blind eye.
After all, soul spirits had clear advantages over traditional soul rings, and what the Spirit Pagoda could provide, Xu Tianran never could.
"Master Poison, one last thing do not go west to the mountains. Avoid them at all costs. If you lead your people into those mountains, you will face immense trouble.
That's all I have to say. Prepare to leave in an hour."
With that, Huo Yuhao's spiritual projection aided by the Plane's Will was instantly transported to the vicinity of Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley.
At that moment, Du Busi glanced at the assembled sect members. The worry on his face vanished entirely.
Even though he didn't fully understand how Elder Xiao had managed to ensure that not a single Soul Engineer Legion would block their escape, he trusted him completely.
After all, with Elder Xiao being the reincarnation of a god, there was no need for deception.
Even though Elder Xiao had not yet fully restored his divine strength, he still had a god level master. If he truly wanted to wipe out the Body Sect, he wouldn't need tricks it would be as simple as snapping his fingers.
Turning to the sect members, Du Busi relayed Elder Xiao's words.
The moment he finished, relief washed over everyone's faces.
Some even started singing his praises.
"As expected of Elder Xiao! He can always accomplish things beyond our imagination! No wonder he was able to create the revolutionary soul spirit system!"
"With Elder Xiao here, we finally have hope for survival!"
Du Busi didn't bother stopping these flattery filled praises.
After all, Elder Xiao had a cooperative relationship with the Body Sect and had just saved them from certain doom. It was only natural for them to express gratitude.
Letting the sect members shower Elder Xiao with praise was not only appropriate but also deserved.
Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley
"Damn it! What kind of place is this?! My soul power, my spiritual power even my ability to fly is severely suppressed! It's like we're trapped in a cage!"
Early in the morning, Elder Song had been tirelessly searching for an exit to the valley.
But every attempt ended in failure.
Staring at the mist covered sky, she felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
Even she, a Rank 97 Super Douluo, found that if she tried to fly, a terrifying pressure would force her down, making it impossible to escape.
Never in her life had she encountered such an absurd phenomenon.
At that moment, Xian Lin'er approached, forcing a bitter smile.
"Mother… are we going to be trapped here forever? Even someone as powerful as you can't leave. It seems we've fallen right into the Sun Moon Empire's trap. We're stuck here… Is this really a dead end?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Elder Song shot Xian Lin'er a sharp look before speaking resolutely.
"We will find a way out. We must. If we die here, Shrek Academy will suffer a devastating loss, and Elder Mu's health will decline even further due to grief.
That is something I absolutely cannot allow to happen."
"Once I escape, I will make the Sun Moon Empire pay for this! But for now, our priority is finding a way out of this cursed place. Gather Meier and the students we need to pool our knowledge and come up with a plan."
Xian Lin'er nodded firmly.
"Understood, Mother."
Raising her hand, she released a blue flame into the sky.
However, due to the mysterious suppressive force, the flame was immediately forced downward.
It only stabilized once it was at eye level with Xian Lin'er.
What was supposed to be a brilliant, radiant flame was now dim and flickering, as if it had a life of its own a breathing pulse of light.
Xian Lin'er frowned.
"If it weren't for the suppression of this cursed place, this flame should have been blazing brilliantly. Instead, it looks so... weak."
Moments later, the Shrek Academy group assembled.
Elder Song explained their predicament and encouraged everyone to suggest ideas for escape.
After much discussion, they decided to stick together.
If anyone got separated in this valley, there was a high chance they'd never be found again.
And right now, Shrek Academy couldn't afford to lose any more students.
Even though Shrek had no shortage of geniuses, the number of true prodigies was still limited.
Thus, moving as a group provided better security.
Additionally, Elder Song could personally protect the students a responsibility she took very seriously.
After finishing their meal, she led the group forward, marking their path along the way to avoid retracing their steps and maximize their chances of escape.
Because of the valley's bizarre nature, she even whispered prayers under her breath:
"May the Sea God bless us and guide us out of this place."
Since the first generation of Shrek's Seven Devils, the strongest deity recorded in history had been Tang San.
Of course, Elder Song wasn't expecting the Sea God to actually intervene she was merely seeking some psychological comfort.
The group continued their journey, moving forward cautiously.
By nightfall, they stopped by a lake, setting up camp to rest before continuing their journey the next day.
Since the students couldn't compare to her in endurance, Elder Song allowed them ample time to recover, ensuring they wouldn't be too exhausted.
At that moment, Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er stood by the lake, enjoying the gentle breeze.
Their faces showed rare smiles.
Based on the geographical size of Mingdu, Shrek Academy was close to exiting the western mountains.
Once they made it out, the next step of their retreat could begin leaving the Sun Moon Empire entirely.
But suddenly
Out of the corner of her eye, Xian Lin'er noticed something unusual.
A golden silver radiance surged like a tidal wave in the distance, rushing toward them.
Her eyes widened in shock.
"Something's coming! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
