After saying that, she ran away quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 480 Shrek has another evil soul master
Outside the gate of Shrek City, besides a few avenues, there is an endless forest. Going dozens of kilometers southeast of Shrek City, you will enter the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest, the largest gathering area of soul beasts on the continent.
It can be said that Shrek Academy is the first line of defense blocking the Star Dou Great Forest. In the horrific beast tide many years ago, it was Shrek Academy that blocked the first wave of the beast tide. Finally, with the cooperation of the Body Sect, it signed a treaty with the many ferocious beasts of Star Dou.
Generally speaking, if you enter the Xingdou Great Forest from this direction, the strength of the soul beasts you encounter is generally stronger. If students intend to obtain soul rings on their own without relying on the help of their elders, they are more inclined to enter Xingdou from the Xingluo territory, which is relatively safer and can also be regarded as a test for themselves.
Those who choose to enter Xingdou from Shrek will usually be led by a teacher and go together on a day with good weather.
It was a dark and windy night, and the fallen leaves swayed in the wind, making a creepy rustling sound. The withered branches looked like upright skeletons, looking extremely strange. It seemed that there was an evil spirit lurking in the invisible depths of the forest.
In such a dark night, a figure did not take the main road, but went straight into the woods after coming out of the north gate. Not long after that figure entered the woods, another figure followed closely behind.
Ye Guyi concentrated his soul power into his eyes, emitting a striking light golden light in the dark woods, and kept his eyes on the figure not far ahead. After making sure that he had completely left the road outside Shrek City, he began to speed up, trying to catch up with the former.
But in a moment, the figure in front of Ye Guyi flashed and disappeared from sight, as if it had noticed the stalker behind it and completely disappeared into the woods.
Ye Guyi stopped, his expression solemn, and carefully felt the subtle fluctuations of soul power in the air around him.
Suddenly, Ye Guyi's eyes widened, and he stretched out the long sword in his hand and pointed it fiercely to the front right.
The next second, a brilliant light burst out, and a pale golden light full of sacred meaning burst out with her as the center.
The direction her sword was pointing was facing a slender golden spear, which was also radiating golden light. The two lights faced each other, instantly lighting up the forest.
"Your tracking skills still haven't improved." Huo Qiuer's right hand holding the Golden Dragon Spear remained motionless. She looked at Ye Guyi coldly with an unfriendly tone.
Ye Guyi was not afraid at all. The eighth-level soul guide Holy Judgment tailored for her in her hand was one of her confidence: "What are you doing in Shrek City?"
The two men knew each other, but there was no polite greeting. Instead, they were on edge as soon as they met.
Huo Qiuer said coldly: "I am entering the Xingdou Great Forest. Why, does Shrek Academy still charge a toll for people entering Xingdou?"
Ye Guyi did not show any weakness and asked, "Who would enter the Xingdou Great Forest in the middle of the night?"
Even with the company of teachers and elders, few people would enter the starry sky at night, not to mention that Huo Qiuer was alone now, and Ye Guyi did not believe what she said.
"Believe it or not." Huo Qiuer snorted coldly.
Ye Guyi said solemnly: "As a member of the Shrek Supervisory Group, I have the obligation to fight against evil soul masters who harm the local area. In my heart, you are still a potential evil soul master, and I also have the obligation to protect the peace and security of Shrek City."
She had seen with her own eyes Huo Qiuer's ability to devour vitality and feed it back to herself, which was a standard evil ability.
"boring."
Huo Qiuer's last impression of Ye Guyi was when she left Mingdu with Shrek and others. She didn't expect to meet him in Shrek City now.
"Compared to me, you should pay more attention to the phoenix that can't suppress its evil fire." Huo Qiu'er snorted, "She is more likely to endanger the safety of Shrek City than me."
Ye Guyi was stunned when she heard this. She knew who Huo Qiuer was referring to. It was Ma Xiaotao, who was captured by the Holy Spirit Church and completely aroused her evil fire and brainwashed.
Her right hand was still raised, but her eyes subconsciously lowered: "No... No, Senior Sister Xiaotao is my senior sister. She couldn't suppress her evil fire because she was controlled by the Holy Spirit Church."
"Now the teacher has found a way to completely cure her evil fire, and said that she will be back to normal soon."
After saying this, her eyes regained their firmness and she looked at Huo Qiuer again.
The method Yan Shaozhe found was from Su Tong, who had just arrived in the inner courtyard. According to her, her martial soul was called Xue Ling, and its ice attribute was at a very high level. With her help in suppressing it, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had indeed subsided.
"Tsk, your teacher didn't tell me I was an evil soul master when he saw me."
Huo Qiuer frowned, suddenly turned around, holding the Golden Dragon Spear at an angle behind her, and said indifferently: "I don't want to waste time with you here. If you want to fight, just keep following me."
Then she no longer cared about Ye Guyi. She tapped the ground with her right foot and suddenly accelerated, turning into a shadow with a golden tail and disappeared into the woods.
Ye Guyi did not follow, but just looked at the distance with some reluctance.
Although Huo Qiuer showed such evil abilities, she did not have the evil aura that was unique to an authentic evil spirit master, and was not restrained by the sacred attributes. Once a real fight broke out, she would probably have little chance of winning.
And just as Huo Qiuer said, Yan Shaozhe and the others had also seen her before. Since they didn't say anything, it means they have made a judgment on Huo Qiuer.
Ye Guyi put down his right hand that was holding the sword, with a complicated expression.
Logically speaking, as a soul master born with divine attributes, she should know best what evil is, but now she is becoming more and more confused, and her firm ambition to eradicate all evil soul masters on the continent is always on her lips.
Ye Guyi always felt that joining the Shrek Supervisory Group did not solve the confusion in her heart. Instead, because of the existence of Ma Xiaotao, she was confused about her original firm path of justice. She was also present when Huo Yuhao used mind sharing to project Ma Xiaotao's original deeds that day.
Originally, she thought that Ma Xiaotao would remain unconscious in the Sea God Pavilion, and she would not have to worry about this problem. But judging from Yan Shaozhe's increasingly happy expression, Ma Xiaotao might really wake up soon.
With a head full of worries, Ye Guyi turned around and slowly walked back towards Shrek City. She was going to attend the treasure appreciation meeting held by Jubao Pavilion for the inner courtyard disciples with her friends who she had just met. Teacher Lin'er said that there were treasures that were very suitable for her, and she could pick one for free.
The two men, arguing with each other, left in different directions, and the forest returned to its gloomy and mysterious state.
Fifty meters away from where the two men had just talked, two gray-robed men appeared.
They looked pale and sweat was dripping from their foreheads, as if they had just experienced a life-and-death crisis.
Feeling that the pressure had finally dissipated completely, the two dared to gasp for breath and let out painful roars.
Just seeing the faint golden light from afar made them tremble all over, and they tried their best to hide their breath, for fear of being noticed by the owner of the light.
"Too scary, there's no doubt about it, it must be the legendary divine attribute."
"We must report this man to the leader and kill him as soon as possible before he grows up!"
A sinister and vicious light flashed in the eyes of the two men at the same time.
The sacred attribute is the natural nemesis of evil soul masters, and is destined to be the greatest enemy of the Holy Spirit Church.

Chapter 481 Blood in the Forest
In the woods outside Shrek City, two gray-robed men were lurking in the darkness, staring at the devastated lights of Shrek City. Their strange attire and behavior, as well as the cold and gloomy aura around them, made it easy to guess their identities.
An evil soul master, and an evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Church.
Both of them have the cultivation level of Soul Emperors, and are already the middle-level forces of the Holy Spirit Church. At a time when the Holy Spirit Church is now severely damaged and lacks successors, the status of the two has been further improved, and they have been sent to carry out an important task.
One of the young evil spirit masters, who was no more than thirty years old, said to another person beside him with concern: "Brother, there are so many masters in Shrek. If there are only two of us, once we are discovered, we will be unable to escape."
Another older evil spirit master said in a deep voice: "This is the leader's order, there must be no mistakes. You and I are good at hiding, we just need to observe from outside the city, and those masters will not be able to find us easily."
"As soon as there is any movement in Shrek, we will inform the leader in advance to avoid interfering with my teaching of the sacraments."
"The leader said that once the sacrament is completed, there will be countless blood food for our sect to enjoy. Even you and I can be promoted to Soul Douluo within a day."
As he spoke, he extended a finger deep inside and tapped the young evil soul master's chest twice, then pointed at himself with a greedy smile on his face.
The young evil soul master understood and laughed with him, making a strange rustling sound in the woods.
After laughing, the old evil spirit master glanced angrily in the direction of Shrek City: "Shrek Academy has disrupted my plan and imprisoned my saint. It won't be long before this place will turn into a sea of blood!"
"Then, it will be the day when we welcome the return of the Fire Phoenix Saint."
The Holy Spirit Church knew that the Fire Phoenix Saint was still alive.
That day, Ye Xishui saw with her own eyes that Ma Xiaotao was taken away by Shrek, and the restriction cast on Ma Xiaotao never disappeared, which meant that she must still be in Shrek Academy.
During the years when the Holy Spirit Church captured Ma Xiaotao and brainwashed her, they invested a huge amount of resources in her. With the support of many natural treasures, her cultivation level was raised to the eighth ring. Even the eighth soul ring was a terrifying 100,000 years old. For this, the Holy Spirit Church paid a huge price.
As a saint, Ma Xiaotao's original purpose was to succeed Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu and become the strongest fighting force of the next generation of the Holy Spirit Church.
After Ye Xishui and others passed away, the Fire Phoenix Saint with her ultimate attributes was enough to protect the Holy Spirit Church for more than two hundred years.
But now, the Fire Phoenix Saint, who had been cultivated with great effort, was abducted by Shrek again.
Five years ago, the Holy Spirit Church used the lives of several elders to infiltrate Shrek Academy and secretly capture Ma Xiaotao. Now, even though they know that Ma Xiaotao is in Shrek Academy, they are powerless.
The young evil soul master looked at Shrek City with gnashing teeth and said viciously: "Any existence that obstructs the Holy Emperor will be annihilated even to the point of being reduced to ashes."
Just when he was halfway through his curse, a fear from the depths of his soul instantly spread throughout his body.
His pupils shrank suddenly and he looked towards the woods not far away in shock. There was a flashing light in that direction, which was particularly dazzling in the dark woods.
The older evil soul master's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled him down, as if he had become one with the dark ground. He didn't dare to look up, but just held his breath and concentrated.
Not long after, the terrifying sacred aura disappeared.
The older evil soul master was still in shock.
"Quick, go and inform the elders!"
The outer area of the Star Forest.
Huo Qiu'er was running fast in the jungle. The darkness and obstacles did not slow her down at all. She was moving forward with a clear goal. The direction she was heading was exactly the core area of the stars.
The long legs crossed rhythmically on the ground, and each powerful step sent the body forward more than ten meters.
A small amount of pressure belonging to her original auspicious beast was released faintly, scaring away all the soul beasts a few kilometers ahead. There was no need to worry about any nocturnal soul beasts blocking the way.
"We're almost at the mixed zone." Huo Qiuer estimated the distance in her mind.
After entering the Xingdou Great Forest, other soul masters basically stopped their activities at night, and she was the only one who could maintain such a fast speed at night. At this speed, she could reach the core area at dawn.
Huo Qiuer has a special ability. Although she can't detect spirits, she can vaguely sense the breath of other soul beasts without looking.
For example, there was a big tree about thirty or forty meters high behind her on the left. Even if she couldn't see the top of the tree, she still knew that there was a thousand-year-old forest eagle perched on the top of the tree, curled up in its nest, hoping that Huo Qiuer would pass by quickly.
At this moment, hundreds of similar soul beast auras appeared a few kilometers in front of her right.
"It's some kind of large, gregarious soul beast."
It was normal for soul beasts to exist in the forest. Huo Qiu'er didn't pay attention and was about to release her breath to scare them away, hoping that they would jump out halfway and treat her as prey, wasting her time.
However, in the next moment, Huo Qiuer's body suddenly shook while moving, and her eyes became extremely cold.
After getting closer, she clearly sensed that the aura of those soul beasts living in groups was not only dispersing and fleeing, but their numbers were also decreasing rapidly.
I still couldn't see the specific situation over there, but the smell of blood in the air couldn't deceive anyone.
Huo Qiuer took another step with her right foot, slightly changing her direction and heading towards the group of soul beasts.
Such a large-scale killing is not normal. It is not predation among soul beasts, nor is it the defense of humans when they are in danger. Instead, it is an organized, planned and efficient slaughter of soul beasts by humans.
Soon, the bloody scene came into Huo Qiuer's eyes.
They were a group of people wearing white clothes and straw hats. There were not many of them, about seven or eight of them scattered around, and their cultivation levels ranged from five to seven rings.
The one they surrounded was a kind of ape-like soul beast, called the Red Fire Monkey. It had the fire attribute, a bad temper, lived in groups, and was best at using the number advantage of the group to besiege prey, making it a very difficult existence for the team's soul masters.
