boom--
"What did you say!" Old Xuan, who had been eating a chicken leg, slammed the table suddenly. If it weren't for the spiritual power support of the other two elders, the table would have fallen apart immediately.
Elder Xuan is of course one of the most furious elders, because he is the deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group, and the Shrek Supervisory Group is the organization that deals with the evil deeds of soul masters on the mainland.
"Xuan Zi." The old man in the main seat spoke calmly. Old Xuan restrained his anger, but his face was still ferocious and he gritted his teeth.
The old man in the main seat looked at Yan Shaozhe: "How many civilians were killed?"
"After a whole day of investigation." Yan Shaozhe frowned, "We can preliminarily confirm that four civilians were brutally killed."
All the elders were filled with grief and indignation, especially Elder Xuan. The tense muscles in his arms kept shaking, as if he would smash the table to vent his anger at any time.
Although only four civilians were killed, the number was so small that it could be almost ignored compared to the evil soul masters who usually massacred villages and cities, but they were human lives after all. How could they be measured by numbers?
Xian Lin'er, who was in a bad mood, yelled at him, "Yan Shaozhe, don't leave your words half-sentenced! Then tell me what happened!"
This time, Cai Meir, who had always been at odds with her, rarely opposed her, but looked at Yan Shaozhe anxiously.
Yan Shaozhe said: "There were three evil soul masters in total, all of them have been killed and their bodies are still there."
Upon hearing this result, the elders breathed a sigh of relief. The anger in their hearts eased a little, but their sadness deepened.
"These evil soul masters who have committed so many evil things actually dare to extend their hands to my Shrek Academy!"
"In the future, we must strengthen the inspection of people entering and leaving Shrek City, and never give evil spirit masters any chance to take advantage of us!"
The old man sitting in the main seat suddenly said calmly: "Hundreds of thousands of people enter and leave Shrek City every day. Do you want to interrogate them one by one?"
Hearing the elder in the main seat say this, the elder who made the suggestion fell silent and stopped talking.
"Shaozhe, please continue."
"Yes."
Yan Shaozhe continued, "This evil soul master incident involves two students from the academy, one is the inner court disciple Ma Xiaotao, and the other is the outer court disciple Huo Yuhao."
"Yuhao?" Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er were both surprised when they heard Huo Yuhao's name.
"According to Xiao Tao, she was flying low outside the city when she accidentally ran into an evil soul master. She decisively attacked him, but the evil soul master suddenly burst into laughter and Xiao Tao lost consciousness."
"How come? Is Xiao Tao injured?"
Yan Shaozhe's expression became more serious: "Xiao Tao was not injured. On the contrary, she easily killed the opponent."
"That's good."
"But, that evil soul master has aroused the evil fire in Xiao Tao's body! It is even more serious than all the previous situations!"
"what?!"
"Fortunately, at this moment, the evil fire in her body was suppressed by an extreme ice."
Xian Lin'er was stunned and asked tentatively: "Is it Yuhao?"
“No, but it is related to him.” Yan Shaozhe shook his head. “Besides Huo Yuhao, there were at least two other ice attribute spirit masters present at the time, one was a Spirit Sage, and the other was at least at the Spirit Sage level.”
"Today I sent someone to ask Huo Yuhao what happened that night. He only said that he met an evil spirit master outside the city and fell into a coma after a battle."
"As for the two mysterious ice-attribute soul masters, they claim to be from an organization called the Devil Ice Cult. The soul saint should be younger than Xiaotao and calls himself Green Worm. The other strong man did not show up at all, but he helped Xiaotao completely suppress the evil fire in her body."
“The remaining two evil spirit masters were naturally eliminated by them. I suspect that there is a relationship between them and Huo Yuhao, but after asking him indirectly, Huo Yuhao did not reveal anything.”
“My dear elders, my question now is, how should we deal with this sudden appearance of the Devil Ice Sect? And… how should we deal with Huo Yuhao?”
All the elders fell into a daze.
Ma Xiaotao is already one of the top talents in Shrek Academy in hundreds of years. Now, at the age of less than 20, she is only a six-ring Soul Emperor.
But the mysterious and powerful Qing Chong from the Devil Ice Cult actually reached the Seventh Ring Soul Saint at a younger age than her? How is this possible!
The elders fell silent. Suddenly, Cai Meir spoke up, "I suggest that we re-investigate the identity of this student. I think he is more than just an orphan as he appears to be."
Xian Lin'er protested loudly: "I object!"
Cai Meier frowned and said, "Xian Lin'er, I know you are optimistic about this student, and I am optimistic about him too, but don't you think his identity is too suspicious?"
"Hmph." Xian Lin'er snorted coldly and said no more.
Old Song pondered, "The Devil Ice Cult... Has this organization ever appeared on the mainland?"
Yan Shaozhe shook his head: "I haven't found any information about this organization. Xiaotao said they claim to be from the Far North."
Old Song frowned: "The Far North? Is it possible to live there?"
All the elders were deep in thought at this moment.
The dual core disciples they had just appointed not long ago turned out to have an unknown background, so it was worth reconsidering.
Cai Meier pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the student has a cousin who lives in the city. We can go ask her."
She wanted to find a breakthrough from Tianmeng.
At this moment, the elder in the main seat spoke: "Why do we have to investigate his identity? Is his identity important?"
"But……"
The old man in the main seat said: "Our students at Shrek Academy come from all corners of the country, including royal nobles from the three empires and clans. Do we care about what organization is behind the other party?"
"No matter what organization the other party is, as long as they are not the enemy of our Shrek Academy, they are our friends. Moreover, they have helped us eliminate the evil spirit masters who committed crimes. Shouldn't we treat them with courtesy?"
All the elders nodded in agreement.
"There's no need to investigate further into the identity of this student. Just let it go. Go and comfort the victim's family and pay more attention to Xiaotao's follow-up situation. Everyone, disperse." The old man in the main seat gave his final instructions.
"Yes."
After all the elders left Poseidon Pavilion, the old man in the main seat lay on the chair and sighed helplessly.
“Huo Yuhao ah Huo Yuhao…”
"Is it right or wrong for me to do this?"
Chapter 108 Trials?
Two days have passed since the evil soul master incident.
After school that day, Huo Yuhao did not set up the stall, but went to the sea god lake to have a picnic alone.
It wasn't that he was lazy, it was just that the food supplier was not good. It was fine before the holiday, but after the holiday, the supplier started to have problems. He urged several times but still couldn't deliver the goods. Huo Yuhao had no choice but to close the shop.
"The logistics of this Shrek City is really bad. If it continues like this, I will change suppliers."
Huo Yuhao complained while using cold air to control the temperature.
"Do you really like using the power of ice to do this kind of thing?" The Ice Emperor's voice sounded, and he seemed a little unhappy. "It's a waste of talent."
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and said, “Do you think it’s easy to control the temperature with cold energy? Even you probably won’t be able to figure it out in a short period of time.”
The Ice Emperor paused for a moment, then sneered, "How ridiculous! How could this Emperor not be able to do such a trivial matter as controlling the temperature?"
“Don’t be so confident…” Huo Yuhao was about to continue arguing with her when he suddenly felt a familiar breath and looked up.
"Huo Yuhao."
Not far away, Ma Xiaotao fell from the sky to the edge of Poseidon Lake and was slowly walking towards him.
"As expected, you appeared by the lake." Ma Xiaotao said calmly.
Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, "Senior, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Ma Xiaotao was silent for a few seconds, then said, "That day by the lake, it was you who helped me suppress the evil fire, right?"
Huo Yuhao did not say anything, and Ma Xiaotao continued, “Teacher told me that you actually have an Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit. Why didn’t you want to tell me at the beginning?”
Ma Xiaotao looked at the lively Huo Yuhao with a hint of sadness in her eyes, which was completely different from her usual hot temper.
"That day, I almost thought you were killed by the evil spirit master. Fortunately... I'm glad you're okay. Please tell the people behind you to thank them for helping me suppress the evil fire."
Huo Yuhao nodded gently: "I will. Senior sister, is there anything else?"
Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth and said, "After I met the evil spirit master that day, I felt that the evil fire in my body became even more fierce, but fortunately you suppressed it in time. But this is not a long-term solution. Can you continue to help me suppress the evil fire in the future?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said, “Senior Sister Xiaotao, I can help you suppress the evil fire in the future.”
(It seems that many brothers are a little upset about this part, but this is paving the way for the subsequent explosion...)
"Really?" Ma Xiaotao was a little surprised.
She thought Huo Yuhao still had hostility towards her, but she didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
Huo Yuhao sighed.
He did have some prejudice against Ma Xiaotao because of what happened to him, but he was more dissatisfied with the way the academy handled the matter.
And that day, when Ma Xiaotao saw him being killed, she was determined to avenge him. To be honest, he was a little moved.
Since Ma Xiaotao is unwilling to give up practicing, if he wants to avoid the evil fire, he can only rely on his ultimate ice.
It's impossible for him to let the mysterious master of the Devil Ice Sect that he made up come out...
“Thank you, Huo Yuhao.” After Ma Xiaotao finished speaking, she flew away from above the Sea God Lake. Before she flew away, she did not forget to take away a grilled fish.
Huo Yuhao looked at the direction she flew away and felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Tian Meng's voice suddenly sounded: "Yuhao, don't worry, the process of suppressing the evil fire is definitely beneficial to your cultivation."
Huo Yuhao calmly expressed his concerns: "I am worried that after I help Senior Sister Xiaotao suppress the evil fire, she will no longer care about the evil fire."
Bingdi asked coldly: "She almost killed you before, are you sure you still want to help her?"
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said expressionlessly: "If her evil fire only burns herself, then I will definitely not care. But if she loses control and hurts others, then I will have to do it reluctantly."
……
the next morning.
Before class started, Zhou Yi called all the core disciples of Class 1, including Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong Xiaoxiao, to the office, a total of eleven people.
"morning."
Huo Yuhao had a good relationship with most of the students in class 1 and greeted the others. Only Wu Feng avoided his gaze on purpose, after all, Huo Yuhao had left a big shadow in her heart.
"I called you here today to inform you that the outer courtyard will hold a core disciple selection competition in three days. Seven people will be selected from the approximately thirty core disciples under the age of fifteen in the outer courtyard to participate in a special mission." Zhou Yi said.
Huo Yuhao immediately asked, “Teacher Zhou, are you sure? Is it meaningful to let us second-year students participate in the selection together with those seniors?”
