Chapter 111 - 112: Zhang Lexuan
According to Elder Yi's judgment, these special ores were required for the creation of a ritualistic blood sacrifice formation.
Zhou Sicheng had his own suspicions as well. After all, the Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Xishui, was not only a Rank 99 Limit Douluo but also an immensely powerful Soul Engineer.
To go as far as mobilizing a large number of Evil Soul Masters across the entire continent to collect such a vast quantity of rare minerals—it was clear that something big was in motion.
Whether it was Elder Yi's deduction or Zhou Sicheng's hypothesis, as long as they acted against the Holy Spirit Cult's operations, it would undoubtedly hinder their plans.
It was no wonder that the Evil Soul Masters had become increasingly active across the continent recently, yet there had been few large-scale massacres.
When incidents like the one in Morey City did occur, they were likely due to certain Evil Soul Masters growing restless. Most operations were conducted in secrecy, leaving no clues behind.
Zhou Sicheng quickly made up his mind—this was a golden opportunity.
However, the Holy Spirit Cult's power was immense—far greater than that of even top-tier sects like the Body Sect.
Relying solely on Shrek Academy's strength would not be enough to launch a large-scale assault.
Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire was off-limits to the former three great empires.
The most effective strategy would be to unite the forces of the three former empires and conduct a continent-wide purge of Evil Soul Masters native to the Douluo Continent. They could even seize a valuable cache of rare minerals in the process—killing two birds with one stone.
