Chapter 115 - 116: Reward – A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone
Over the following days, a few scattered Evil Soul Masters still managed to escape, but all of them ultimately met their end in the Mingwang Valley, adding to the accomplishments of the assembled forces.
Five days later, Xuan Zi personally came to escort everyone back.
The operation against the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Sect had achieved its goal. After a week of sweeping and cleansing, the majority of the visible enemies had been eliminated. The remnants, like rats fleeing the light, had gone into hiding.
Tracking them down again would be exceedingly difficult. While the three great empires would continue to pursue them, the major sects, having made their contribution, returned to their respective domains.
The harvest from this operation was substantial, and losses were the lowest in history.
After all, every team had been led by Soul Sages or stronger. The Evil Soul Masters barely had a chance to resist.
That said, this defeat would only make them burrow deeper into the shadows. Given the nature of Evil Soul Masters, it was only a matter of time before they sought revenge.
This operation, meticulously planned across the original Douluo Continent, also triggered a purge within the Holy Spirit Sect itself.
Since it was a covert mission that had somehow been exposed without warning, it was obvious a traitor had leaked the information.
Once again, Shrek Academy became the center of blame—after all, the intelligence had been leaked from them.
The Holy Spirit Sect had no idea how Shrek had learned of their actions, but their hatred for the academy had deepened.
