Chapter 66: Arrangements for Shrek Academy
There is no need to convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion all knew that there was no way out at this moment.
"If Elder Mu were to wake up, what choice would he make?"
Their gaze was fixed on Lake Neptune below.
Xuanzi silently flew into the sky.
He was now bruised and swollen, his whole body was dizzy from being beaten by the poison, but he still had no choice but to stand up.
Before his final coma, Mu En had transferred most of the power of the Sea God Pavilion Master to Xuan Zi.
Although he no longer holds the title of Pavilion Master, he has the power to do so.
Therefore, only he can answer how Shrek Academy will respond.
He coldly stared at his old rival of many years, took a deep breath, and said, "Shrek Academy is willing to cooperate with the operation to eliminate the evil soul masters."
Poison Undying added, "It's the Heavenly Soul Empire. How the other two empires decide is none of my business."
Xuanzi clenched his fist and said again, "Shrek Academy is willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Soul Empire's operation to eradicate evil soul masters."
Only then did Du Bu Si reveal a satisfied expression.
This method of using righteous intimidation to pressure Shrek is really satisfying.
Du Busi reclaimed the Heavenly Soul Kingdom Seal and the land deed: "Since Shrek Academy is a neutral force, the Heavenly Soul Empire allows you to maintain independent command over Shrek Academy members, provided you accept their orders."
Then he waved his hand and said, "Recently, the Sun Moon Empire has been frequently waging war on the border of Tianhun. As the deputy commander of this operation, I will trouble you all to go there and oversee the operation."
The expressions of every elder in the Sea God Pavilion turned ashen.
"Poisoning won't kill me" is clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
He wanted Shrek's elite troops to face the Sun Moon Empire's military might directly, which was a way to use someone else to do his dirty work and weaken Shrek Academy's strength!
Du Bu Si raised an eyebrow.
He said in an annoyed tone, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm not as petty as you think."
"Your Shrek Academy's inspection team monitors the continent, yet you haven't discovered such a large number of evil spirit masters in the Three Kingdoms. What does that mean?"
"This means the evil spirit masters' headquarters must be within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire!"
Although Poison Undying's words were a veiled criticism of Shrek Academy, they were logically flawless.
"Still looking at this old man?"
Poison Undying was displeased: "I didn't send any students to the front lines. After all, there are quite a few people from the Heavenly Soul Empire among these students."
Song Yunzhi said, "Poison Sect Master, have you ever considered that having so many of our Title Douluos on the front lines might provoke the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Exciting?" Poison Immortal sneered. "Isn't the Sun Moon Empire's constant readiness on the border exciting enough?"
The fact that evil soul masters disguised themselves as soul masters to trade with Xingluo shows that they had not yet reached the point of having absolute power within the Sun Moon Empire.
As long as Shrek, who once defeated the sun and moon, appears at the border, even if it's just a brief appearance.
Therefore, while guarding against Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Sect will inevitably have the opposing side of evil spirit masters within the country take action to intensify the investigation of evil spirit masters within the territory in order to maintain domestic stability before a possible war.
This is a huge gamble for the Heavenly Soul Empire.
If the gamble pays off, the royal family can use this operation to not only eliminate evil spirit masters within the country but also gain initial control over the top-tier forces within the Heavenly Soul Realm that obey orders but not commands.
If they lose the bet, the Heavenly Soul Empire will face a full-scale attack from the Sun Moon Empire.
It even dragged the entire Douluo Continent into the quagmire of war.
Xue Heng remained silent for a full half-day afterward.
He went through the intelligence in his mind again and again before finally making the tough decision to take the gamble.
The situation with the Evil Soul Master Cult was too urgent, and the Heavenly Soul Empire, having obtained firsthand intelligence, had to react quickly.
Forging the soul is a long-term project. Right now, Heavenly Soul must seize the time to take control of its domestic forces!
In fact, this is the only chance for the Heavenly Soul Empire to turn things around!
Remembering Xue Heng's instructions before he left, Du Busi narrowed his eyes.
He continued, "Moreover, I sent you to the border not to have you directly participate in the war, but to serve as a deterrent."
"Regardless of the relationship between the Evil Soul Masters and the Sun Moon Empire, the fact that they haven't openly acknowledged it means that they also know that the Evil Soul Masters are the common enemy of the continent."
"Once Shrek's people appear on the border, the Sun Moon Empire will inevitably have to react."
"The most likely scenario is that they will consolidate their military forces to carry out domestic purges."
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion remained silent.
Finally, Xuanzi looked in the direction of the Sea God Lake and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Shrek Academy will head to the border."
"But our main task is to eradicate the evil spirit masters, not to engage in a direct conflict with the Sun Moon Empire."
Poison Immortal grinned: "Of course, I don't want war either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Bu Si turned and left.
However, after only a short while, he suddenly turned back.
"What else do you want!" Xuanzi gritted his teeth.
Poison Undying chuckled: "When you go, remember to bring Nightmare's head with you."
"Otherwise, what if the Sun Moon Empire really thinks that Heavenly Soul wants to start a war?"
Xuanzi's forehead veins bulged: "I don't need you to remind me!"
"Why are you so temperamental?"
Poison Undying curled his lip: "Xuanzi, not that I'm criticizing you, but young people shouldn't be so impulsive."
"Alas, when I was traveling on the mainland, you were just born, and now you've grown up so much."
Xuanzi was so angry that he trembled all over and almost couldn't help but strike again.
Poison Immortal laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Remember, the border issue is of utmost importance."
"This is not comparable to a Soul Hunt, don't act rashly."
After saying that, he didn't give Xuanzi any chance to make a move. His figure flashed and disappeared completely from the sky above Shrek City.
Xuanzi took more than ten deep breaths before he could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
He turned to face the elders of the Sea God Pavilion: "Things have come to this point, we have no other choice."
"The Shrek Academy's elite inspection team has assembled, led by Elder Song, with the two vice deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department serving as vice captains, and is heading to the border of the Heavenly Soul Sect."
Xuanzi no longer dared to lead the team.
The elders looked at each other, and finally could only sigh and nod in agreement.
This is indeed the safest arrangement at present.
Xuanzi, in despair, said, "As for me, I will stay in Shrek City to protect Elder Mu."
"And I will personally train the Shrek team."
"As long as we can defeat the Di'ao Team in the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master Competition, we can avenge today's humiliation."
No one bothered to mention Long Aotian, who was staying here as an exchange student.
After this incident, his status was no longer that of a hostage, as Shrek Academy had always considered him.
Instead, it became a complete hot potato.
If not handled properly, it could lead to a bigger conflict.
Only now did the people of Shrek Academy realize that they were not the only ones who had sent an unstable evil fire phoenix to the Heavenly Soul.
The Heavenly Soul Empire also gave them a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex in return.
"Viscount Huo Yuhao of the Azure Dragon, a dragon who is one with heaven and man."
"Can Little Peach, this phoenix, suppress two dragons all by herself?"
"It's time to put some pressure on Beibei. He has the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light and cannot be so obsessed with romance."
Xuanzi sighed.
