Chapter 78 Ye the Fox Who Dared to Steal Elder Xuan's Chicken Leg

Electrolux's voice rang out again from Huo Yuhao's mouth, "Necromancers control souls, not bodies. I'm giving you a chance for revenge. After your revenge is complete, your souls will be purified. ♞♢ 69ѕн𝔲x.𝐜о𝐦 ☢🐊"

"It's been so long since I used the familiar yet unfamiliar necromancy. I seem to have harbored a deep-seated hatred in my heart, but now I only feel peace. Little Yuhao, Big Bug, Little Scorpion, I'm going to sleep again. But remember, any ability can be used for good. Those who use the inclination of their abilities to do evil as an excuse are inherently evil."

"Little Yuhao, when you let go of the hatred in your heart, you will be qualified to inherit my necromancy, which is your third martial soul. I hope to see you again next time."

The gray aura surrounding Huo Yuhao subsided.

The gray light in his eyes and the gray halo around his body faded and disappeared. He swayed and fell to the ground unconscious.

The evil spirit master had been torn to pieces by his own corpse slaves, and his sinful life ended amidst his agonizing screams.

Having avenged their great grudge, the corpse slaves swayed and fell to the ground. Then, wisps of white energy rose from their heads, vaguely resembling human faces. But now, their expressions were devoid of resentment, only a sense of relief and gratitude remained. Their gazes were fixed on the fallen Huo Yuhao as they gradually disappeared into the air.

The corpse slaves, having lost their souls, quickly transformed into skeletons.

"Boom!!" A violent roar resounded from the tunnel exit, followed by a figure soaring into the sky and crashing down—it was Elder Xuan in his Martial Soul Possession state.

The bare-chested Elder Xuan revealed his bronze skin, and his terrifying aura soared into the sky the moment he emerged from the ground, threatening to change the very color of the sky and earth.

Elder Xuan flashed to Huo Yuhao's side to check on him. After briefly confirming that Huo Yuhao was alright, he looked towards Ye Nanxiao.

Ma Xiaotao curled up her legs and pressed herself against Ye Nanxiao, holding him tightly with both hands.

Elder Xuan reached out and grabbed Ye Nanxiao, his earth-yellow soul power lifting Ye Nanxiao and Ma Xiaotao to his side.

The scene before him startled him; the messenger of death had vanished, leaving only a large pile of bones on the ground.

Elder Xuan released his spiritual power to sense the surroundings. Apart from himself and the others, there were no signs of life. Ye Nanxiao and Ma Xiaotao were slightly injured and had fainted due to exhaustion of their soul power. Although Huo Yuhao's breathing was weak, his vital signs were obvious. Elder Xuan picked up Huo Yuhao and slowly injected his own soul power into Huo Yuhao's body.

Eager to find out the whereabouts of the Grim Reaper, Elder Xuan took out a small white jade bottle, opened it, and waved it under Huo Yuhao's nose.

"Achoo!" Huo Yuhao sneezed violently and woke up. A spicy smell gradually cleared his mind, but he still felt his head was heavy and his head was dizzy. Even his bright eyes could not see things clearly.

"Yuhao, what's going on here? Why did Xiaotao and Nanxiao faint? Where is that evil soul master?" Elder Xuan asked anxiously.

Huo Yuhao was stunned. The scene he had witnessed earlier came back to him. Although he was conscious when Electrolux took control of his body, he did not understand what power Electrolux used to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Seal and use a power he could not name to defeat the evil soul master.

As his memories returned, a mental imprint left by the aged Electrolux in his mind gradually appeared, and Huo Yuhao subconsciously spoke the words left by that mental imprint.

"I... I don't know what happened. After the evil spirit master brought me here, he ordered his corpse slaves to cover our retreat. Sister Xiaotao and my brother rushed up and fought with his corpse slaves, but there were too many of them, and they were also enhanced and self-destructed. My brother and Sister Xiaotao were scattered from their spirit fusion state by the self-destruction of the corpse slaves. I seized the opportunity and used all my strength to launch a mental attack on the evil spirit master. Then he fell into a brief daze, and blood came from his mouth and nose. He threw me to the ground and let out a scream. Then his corpse slaves suddenly went out of control and attacked him. They tore him to pieces, and then the corpse slaves also fell to the ground and couldn't get up. After that, I also fainted."

Upon hearing this, a look of realization gradually appeared in Elder Xuan's eyes, and he said, "He suffered a backlash! He deserved it! He got off too easily. Let's go back and talk about it later."

Huo Yuhao regained some of his senses and asked Elder Xuan what evil backlash meant.

After explaining it once, Elder Xuan's approach was largely the same as Electrolux's.

Huo Yuhao gave an "oh" and then fell into a drowsy state again.

Elder Xuan used his soul power to lift the three of them and return them to the nearby army encampment.

Wang Yan had already returned with a group of outer court disciples. When he saw Elder Xuan returning with three others, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After landing, Elder Xuan asked, "How is the situation?"

Wang Yan's face was still contorted with rage. "Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng have lost all their fighting ability and have been corroded by poisonous flesh. I have given them both antidotes. Xixi has suffered severe internal injuries from the shock to her lungs. Gongyang Mo has suffered a severe injury to his chest and abdomen, and his wounds are infected with some poisonous blood. Like Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng, he has a high fever and is unconscious. All four of them are unable to participate in the competition and need to return to the inner courtyard for treatment."

Only after Elder Xuan revealed the fate of the evil soul masters did the ferocity on Wang Yan's face lessen somewhat.

"I will take the four of you back to the academy immediately. This battle was fierce and it was my mistake. If it weren't for Ye Nanxiao, the consequences would have been unimaginable. You lead the team to Xingluo City to participate in the competition. I will arrive shortly after," Elder Xuan said in a deep voice.

Wang Yan looked at Ye Nanxiao, who had already woken up, and sighed, "Yes, it's all thanks to Nanxiao."

When Ye Nanxiao woke up, he felt something soft behind his head. He shook his head a couple of times, got up, and saw Jiang Nannan right next to him.

"Ah Xiao!" Jiang Nannan threw herself into Ye Nanxiao's arms, hugging him tightly as if afraid he would disappear again, tears streaming down her face.

"Alright, alright, it's okay." Ye Nanxiao patted Jiang Nannan's back gently to comfort her.

Ma Xiaotao woke up soon after and went to find Wang Yan to find out the current situation. As the team leader, she needed to have a full understanding of the situation.

Wang Dong used his thigh as a pillow and took meticulous care of Huo Yuhao.

After comforting Jiang Nannan, Ye Nanxiao walked straight to Elder Xuan and snatched the chicken leg that Elder Xuan, who was in a daze, had just taken out.

"Old man Xuan, why aren't you leaving yet?" Ye Nanxiao urged.

Everyone: ??

Xu Sanshi rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous, and asked Bei Bei beside him, "Did I see that right? Nan Xiao just stole Elder Xuan's chicken leg?"

Beibei, whose eyes were also wide open, answered confidently, "That's right, Elder Xuan's chicken leg was stolen."

Old Master Xuan snapped out of his daze, looked at the chicken leg in Ye Nanxiao's hand, smacked his lips, and said, "This time you'll be leading the reserve team onto the field. I'm counting on you."

"Come on, you know I have to leave." Ye Nanxiao waved the chicken leg in his hand.

Elder Xuan frowned and said, "You've seen the current situation. It's my fault. Of the Seven Devils, only three are still capable of fighting."

"That's enough people, isn't it?" Ye Nanxiao retorted without backing down.

"Do you really have to do this?" Elder Xuan glared at Ye Nanxiao, his aura subtly pressing down on him.

Ye Nanxiao understood that he was already tied up with other matters, and that his current argument with Elder Xuan was simply a way to vent his anger.

If everyone knew what Ye Nanxiao was thinking, they would definitely admire him. Taking his anger out on Elder Xuan, he really has a big heart.

"After this is over, I want to add another month." Ye Nanxiao tossed the chicken leg back to Elder Xuan and turned to leave.

"Alright." Elder Xuan grabbed the chicken leg, swallowed it in one gulp, got up and led the four unconscious inner court students back to Shrek Academy. The reason he stayed until now was to find out Ye Nanxiao's thoughts.

The original combination of two Soul Emperors and four Soul Kings has now become two Soul Emperors, two Soul Kings, three Soul Masters, one Soul Venerable, and three Great Soul Masters. However, the main force members Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng suffered internal injuries, and Ye Nanxiao was also seriously injured.

After waking up, Huo Yuhao spent a lot of effort comforting Wang Dong.

Wang Yan came to Huo Yuhao's side and comforted him, saying, "It's good that you're alright. You should rest for a while too. Then we'll head back to the Northwest Army Group's camp, and after a short rest, we'll immediately head to Xingluo City."

He Caitou couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Wang, this time it's not really going to be us who go up, is it?"

This is also the issue that Beibei and others are most concerned about right now.

Wang Dong also released Huo Yuhao and looked at Wang Yan together.

Wang Yan smiled wryly, "I'm afraid this is the only way. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will last for a long time, about a month. Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen will need at least half a month to recover. Before that, you two will have to represent the academy in the competition."

"But can we really do it?" Huo Yuhao asked, echoing the sentiments of all the outer court disciples.

Wang Yan didn't know how to answer Huo Yuhao's question, so he looked at Ye Nanxiao, who had been entrusted by Elder Xuan, and the latter led Jiang Nannan to Huo Yuhao and the others.

"No problem, we're Shrek Academy," Ye Nanxiao said calmly.

Those eleven words conveyed the pride of being Shrek Academy students, and the tension in everyone's hearts disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of pride.

Yes, we are students of Shrek Academy.

"I estimate that Elder Xuan will only need a few days to travel back and forth. Our participation will only be in the elimination rounds. Whatever the result, we will do our best," Ye Nanxiao said.

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen remained silent. The inner academy could no longer find anyone to participate in the competition, as most of the inner academy's disciples were not in the academy, and most of them were under twenty years old.

Huo Yuhao was actually a little confused, because he clearly remembered that when Elder Xuan left, he said that the honor of the academy could only depend on you. This was obviously not unfounded. Ye Nanxiao should have understood something. Was he saying this to put everyone at ease during the competition?

Wang Yan smiled wryly. Although Huo Yuhao and the others were very powerful when they worked together, their cultivation levels were still lacking. Only Ye Nanxiao had reached the Soul King level. Wang Yan lowered his head and remained silent, thinking to himself, "Does Elder Xuan mean to rely on Ye Nanxiao?"

"It's time to reveal some of our trump cards." A fierce glint flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes.

One day later, at Shrek Academy.

An old man with messy hair sat on the steps, chugging wine. Footsteps sounded behind him, and an old man dressed in white walked over.

Without answering, the old man Xuan asked, "How are the children?"

"The condition has stabilized. Thanks to timely treatment, he can be discharged after about two months of recuperation," the elderly man in white replied respectfully.

"That's good, that's good." Elder Xuan muttered to himself, "Xiao boy, this time it's all up to you, please."

"Elder Xuan, the Sea God Conference is ready, please..." Yan Shaozhe appeared behind the two.

"Let's go," Elder Xuan sighed, interrupting Yan Shaozhe.
