Dou Er: You are an evil soul master, but a charity king?

"Is there a soul guide unique to the moon? I want something unique."

"Yes, don't worry, we have them all!" Xu Cheng's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, the blessing of having many wives is not so easy to enjoy...

……

Holy Spirit Church.

Headquarters.

It is located in a cave at an unknown depth underground.

Zhongli Wu sat at the first seat in the empty hall, holding his chin with a sad face and sighing.

Not long ago, he wanted to use Yan Feng to suppress Xu Cheng's popularity, but he didn't expect that he would lose more than he gained. While being shown off by Xu Cheng, Yan Feng, who he had the highest hopes for and had been secretly cultivating to balance Xu Cheng, was also wiped out.

The bone dragon that was nearly a kilometer long is still unforgettable to him.

"That boy is obviously a good man hiding among the evil soul masters. How could he control such power? It's the purest and most evil smell. Even I, the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, have never seen it before..."

Zhongli Wu frowned slightly and tapped the handle with his fingertips.

They could get along harmoniously in the past because he claimed to see through Xu Cheng. No matter how much the kid jumped around, he was still in the palm of his hand. But when the bone dragon appeared, he was the most confused.

"The son of the Holy Spirit Church that I had the highest hopes for died at his hands. It was reasonable and logical. On the contrary, it made his prestige within the Holy Spirit Church unprecedentedly high..." He pondered, his face looking a little grim.

"Why panic?"

A cold voice sounded in the empty hall.

Zhongli Wu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Mother!"

At the entrance of the hall, a figure covered in a black robe walked in slowly. His aura was unpredictable. He stepped lightly on the ground, bringing with him a hint of dark evil spirit.

Zhongli Wu lowered his head and remained bent over.

Don't dare relax for a moment.

"Haha, you and I are mother and son, why should we be so unfamiliar with each other." Ye Xishui flashed and was already in front of Zhongli Wu. She seemed not to see the latter and slowly walked past him, then sat in the seat where Zhongli Wu had just sat, crossed her legs, and looked leisurely.

"There is an order of respect and inferiority, mother is the elder, and etiquette cannot be abolished." Zhongli Wu turned around, bowed, and then stood respectfully to one side.

"I know what you are worried about..." Ye Xishui held up her face and spoke lightly.

"But you're worrying too much."

"What do you mean, mother?" Zhongli Wu was stunned.

"Haha, do you think Xu Cheng, who has pure evil intentions, can be a kind person?" Ye Xishui sneered.

"This..." Zhongli Wu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized. "Mother means..."

"I was there that day too. I was shocked by the pure evil power. It shows that the boy is a born bad guy. He yearns for destruction and damage, but he insists on pretending to be a good person. Why do you think that is?" Ye Xishui said.

"Could it be that he is also planning something?" Zhongli Wu suddenly realized.

“Haha, the ones who are harder to defend against than evil soul masters like us are righteous soul masters. The ones who are harder to defend against than righteous soul masters are the so-called righteous soul masters hiding in the group of evil soul masters…” Ye Xishui stretched out his left hand, appreciatively looking at the long, inky nails, then gently put it down and looked at Zhongli Wu meaningfully.

"Now, the righteous regard him as an outlier among evil soul masters, and truly accept and recognize him. The evil soul masters also regard him as one of their own and completely recognize him. If he truly reveals his 'evil' side in the future, who will react?"

"Huh... Mother's insight is profound. I have learned a lot!" Zhongli Wu was deeply shocked.

This view is indeed logically coherent and makes sense.

Otherwise, if Xu Cheng was devoted to goodness, why did he join the Holy Spirit Church? If he joined the Holy Spirit Church, why did he do some so-called "good" and go through so much trouble among evil people?

He is hypocritical. Everything he does is just for the final result...

"The result may be that the entire Ming capital will be buried with him, or the scope may be expanded to the entire continent. After all, he also said that within three years of his accession to the throne, a continent-wide war will break out. Xu Zhen is old, and his life span is short, which means..." Ye Xishui smiled lightly.

"Xu Cheng is planning a grand play to conceal the truth from the world, and although we may seem like chess players, we are actually part of his chess pieces."

"So that's it!" Zhongli Wu said excitedly.

"Then mother, we..."

"Go along with him. Since he is pure evil, the number of people who will die in the future will not be just one or two, but tens or hundreds of thousands. With his handiwork, it will naturally be in the hundreds of millions. By then, we only need to follow behind him to absorb souls and enhance our own strength."

"No wonder, no wonder I kept urging him, but he kept making excuses. So that's why!" Zhongli Wu said happily.

"I'm glad to know..." Ye Xishui nodded slightly and fiddled with her nails as if she had a new manicure.

"But Yan Feng, Lu Genggeng and other new Holy Spirit Church talents are dead. Our Holy Spirit Church also needs new bloodlines. Go find some and bring them back to train."

"What do you mean?" Zhongli Wu grinned.

"Where else can it be? Now that Moon has declined and the interior is empty, it must be... Shrek Academy..."

……

The Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Cheng suddenly sneezed.

Looking around, he wondered to himself, "Who is talking about me?"

Chapter 217 Yan Shaozhe: I don’t think the Soul Guidance Department needs to exist anymore

"The situation is now devastating..."

On the top floor of Poseidon Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe leaned forward slightly, pointed at the documents on the table, and looked at the elders with a serious expression.

"Elders, we recently reached an agreement with the Body Sect to raid Mingdu together next month. We must also consider whether this is our last chance to turn the tables. After all, the Sun-Moon Empire has already demonstrated its absolute strength. If we give them enough time to develop..."

"We all know all this, Shaozhe." Elder Lin said softly.

"But the question now is, what are our chances of success in the surprise attack on Mingdu? If successful, how long can we delay the Sun Moon Empire?"

“Haha, if successful, with Master Xuan and Du Bu Si directly destroying the Mingdetang headquarters, and then going on a killing spree to massacre those scientific research soul mentors, it will at least set the Sun and Moon Empire back hundreds of years!” Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.

"This will give us continuous opportunities..."

"Yan Shaozhe, I heard that just recently you abolished the funding for the Soul Guidance Department that was decided by Elder Mu. Is that true?" Elder Lin stared at Yan Shaozhe quietly.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you must make the decision for the Soul Guidance Department!" Qian Duoduo cried.

Ever since Yan Shaozhe took over the position of "Acting Pavilion Master" after Yu Mu left under the strong recommendation of Yu Mu, the soul guide device suffered a devastating blow, and Yu Mu's previous decisions were all destroyed. Even the more than 100 million yuan of financial funds that had just been allocated was still on Yan Shaozhe's mind.

"Hmph!" Xian Lin'er snorted coldly and crossed her arms over her chest.

She was completely disappointed with Yan Shaozhe, a short-sighted guy...

"Haha..." Yan Shaozhe was not panicked at all, but smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you don't know this. I have previously investigated the so-called scientific research projects of the Soul Guidance Department. Apart from the extremely expensive materials used to make the so-called 'missiles', the rest of the projects are like child's play compared to the Sun and Moon Empire. They are almost running while you are still crawling. The situation is tense now, how can you expect them to do anything?"

"This..." Old Lin pondered for a moment, and glanced at Xian Lin'er and the other person helplessly.

There is no doubt about this.

Shrek invested a lot of manpower and resources, nearly 100 million gold soul coins, but ended up with a defective product. No, it can't even be considered a defective product, because that thing can't fly at all...

Seeing this, Xian Lin'er glared at Qian Duoduo unhappily, and the latter sighed.

Yan Shaozhe is right about this point. The situation is serious now and it has reached the most critical moment.

To develop soul guides would require at least hundreds of years of intensive investment of money and resources to have a hope of competing with the current Sun-Moon Empire. Obviously, the cost-effectiveness is too low. It would be better to put all resources into the martial soul system and go all in.

"But we can't deny it completely..." After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Lin decided to say something fair: "Duoduo has tried his best."

"But Mr. Lin, if we can kill Xu Cheng with our best efforts, can we develop a soul guide device?" Yan Shaozhe said sternly and mercilessly.

"To put it bluntly, soul guides are a bottomless pit. Unless there is really a child of destiny who can stand on our side and forcibly bring up the soul guide system, otherwise the so-called soul guide system is a joke!"

Qian Duoduo even hung his head, and the shrewd and arrogant look of the past was no longer there.

“……” Mr. Lin was silent.

"Although... Shaozhe has a point." Old Song also sighed. He always had a hot temper, but at this moment he nodded silently.

"That's right, Elder Zhu. What I want to say today is also related to this... Completely get rid of the Soul Guidance Department and invest all resources into the Martial Soul Department. Take advantage of the last few decades and take another gamble." Yan Shaozhe said solemnly.

"Yan Shaozhe, how dare you!!!" Xian Lin'er's expression changed from silence to disbelief, and finally her eyes widened with anger. A spear emerged in her hand, and a wave of air surged around her, and the aura of a Super Titled Douluo was clearly visible.

Qian Duoduo also looked unhappy.

This was the result of most of their life's hard work as a "couple" to achieve this level. Not to mention resisting the Soul Guidance System of the Sun-Moon Empire, they could at least contend with the original three kingdoms.

This was when they were short of funds and had to fill the gap themselves. After all, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was extremely backward, and it only gradually improved after they took over.

But now, Yan Shaozhe actually wants to disband the Soul Guidance Department on the spot!

This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Haha, your temper is still as bad as ever." Yan Shaozhe spread his hands helplessly, but did not stop it. He let the cold light of the spear point at his throat and stared at the angry Xian Lin'er without changing his expression.

"Lin'er!" Cai Meir hurried forward to stop the fight.

"Okay, be quiet, why are you making so much noise?" Old Song raised his eyebrows and shouted.

He is a level 97 Super Titled Douluo, second only to Xuan Zi in strength, and the second strongest person present.

"Hmph! If you dare to disband the Soul Guidance System, I will fight you to the death!" Xian Lin'er said gritting her teeth.

"Alas, I'm doing this for Shrek as well. Now that we're facing a powerful enemy, isn't it a waste for you to invest resources into that bottomless pit?" Yan Shaozhe said innocently.

"Don't give me that. You are just trying to..."

"Lin'er!" Qian Duoduo finally spoke, looking at Xian Lin'er with complicated eyes, "Shaozhe is right. What we should consider now is not the future, but whether we can survive now."

“That doesn’t mean we can disband the Soul Guidance System!” Xian Lin’er breathed rapidly.

"Hey, these are all misunderstandings. I didn't say that the Soul Guidance Department must be disbanded. It's just that in the future... give the Soul Guidance Department a smaller share, and invest the majority into the Martial Soul Department." Yan Shaozhe smiled understandingly.

Hearing this, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo's expressions looked much better.

Yan Shaozhe smiled secretly.

Sure enough, people like to compromise...

In this way, the honor of Shrek can be preserved, and those so-called soul guidance systems (evil ways) can be swept into the garbage dump.

When we defeat the Sun-Moon Empire in the future, the honor will still belong to the Wuhun system!

And the Soul Guidance Department will inevitably be swept into the dustbin of history.

But just when he was feeling proud of himself, a voice slowly sounded, leaving everyone stunned.
