Rumors Rise on the Wind

The messages were transmitted back faster than the emperors of various countries had imagined.

Xu Jiawei stared at the secret letter in his hand, his head filled with questions.

"Brother, what did the letter say? Why do you look so pale?"

The princess craned her neck, gazing curiously at the secret letter for Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiawei didn't hide anything from his younger sister and handed her the letter directly.

Xu Jiujiu, he took the secret letter and read it aloud, word by word.

"The Body Sect Master, Du Busi, has taken on a Personal Disciple with astonishing talent."

"I don't know how the message reached the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect and Du Busi fought a great battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the outcome was that Du Busi's fate was unknown."

"However, Mu En, the patriarch of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master, stepped in and accepted Du Busi as his disciple, settling him in Shrek City."

"When Mu En went to the Soul Master Tournament with the Shrek Academy team, the Clear Sky Sect attacked Shrek? Just to kidnap Du Busi's disciple?"

Xu Jiujiu was also completely baffled, "What is all this about?!"

"It's true." Xu Jiawei's face turned ashen, like he'd just swallowed a pill. "This is the third secret letter I've received. Although the details differ slightly, they're all pretty much the same."

After all, the other secret reports also specified one point in detail.

Shrek City was mostly destroyed, but there were few casualties. The only one who died was that person's mother.

Xu Jiujiu: "..."

"Is the Clear Sky Sect out of its mind?"

Ultimately, Xu Jiujiu, this was the only conclusion that could be drawn.

Xu Jiawei paced back and forth, "Perhaps... that child is exceptionally talented?"

"How outstanding? Limit Douluo?" Xu Jiujiu spread his hands. Even if he were Limit Douluo, it wouldn't warrant a complete falling out. A real falling out would only happen if...

Xu Jiujiu's expression changed, and she tentatively asked, "Could it be... the potential to become a god?"

"This..."

Xu Jiawei was startled; perhaps... he truly possessed the potential to become a god.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been worth the Clear Sky Sect breaking ties with Shrek Academy at all...

But even if they both possess the potential to become gods, can't they cultivate together? That doesn't make sense...

"We need to continue the investigation!"

"Until the truth is found, there is no contact with the Clear Sky Sect!"

Just kidding, the Clear Sky Sect is like a powder keg, who would dare to approach it?

"I wonder... how this will end."

It seems like the Clear Sky Sect has won irrevocably, but...

"Brother, you mean... Shrek will retaliate?"

Xu Jiawei pointed to a sentence in the secret letter, "Elder Mu... he should be referring to Dragon God Douluo Mu En. If nothing unexpected happens... he should also be a peak powerhouse. Don't underestimate Shrek Academy's strength."

"If Dragon God Douluo were still in Shrek City, I believe those two from the Clear Sky Sect would definitely not have returned alive!"

"Don't forget, a year ago, when Du Busi came knocking on our door, Xuan Zi was defeated, a burst of golden light appeared in the sky, and Du Busi turned and ran!"

After Xu Jiawei pointed it out, Xu Jiujiu remembered.

Will Shrek swallow this insult?

This question intrigued not only the Star Luo Empire, but also other empires.

Even... the Sun Moon Empire received the message.

The whole world is waiting for Shrek to make a statement, and everyone is watching Shrek's 'joke'.

Heavenly Soul Empire - Heaven Dou Imperial Palace

The emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire also summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, is this... really true?"

"It's probably true; Xuan Zi of Shrek Academy said it himself. I heard that what happened last night really hit Xuan Zi hard."

"That old bastard was pretty arrogant. But the wicked always get their comeuppance."

"He's had a pretty rough time. Last year, he was ambushed and beaten up by the Sect Master Du, and this year he was beaten up again by the Clear Sky Sect."

"Alright!" The Heavenly Soul Emperor tapped the table. "The Heavenly Soul Empire and Shrek Academy are of one heart and one mind. Although Xuan Zi's personal conduct and character are flawed, he is our true ally!"

"Moreover... what about the Sect Master Du..."

Upon hearing the mention of the Du Busi, both the emperor and his ministers' expressions turned grim.

They could still relish talking about Shrek's unfortunate events.

But Du Busi kill.

Because of Princess Vina, the relationship between the royal family and the Body Sect is extremely ambiguous.

The Heavenly Soul Empire was already weak, and the Body Sect was their mainstay.

Now things are really messed up; the Body Sect has been completely disbanded, and Du Busi's fate is unknown.

Is their fate unknown? That means they're dead!

"Your Majesty, Sect Master Du really taken on a genius disciple?"

"Hmm. He does indeed show favoritism towards one person. It's just that I've heard that the child is hardworking but lacks natural talent. Perhaps... the Sect Master Du has seen the child's exceptional qualities?"

"Well..."

"I heard... the Sea God Pavilion Master is escorting Shrek's contestants to the competition in Heaven Dou City?"

"How about... I pay him a visit?"

The Heavenly Soul Emperor thought it made a lot of sense. It would be best to ask Shrek about their next move. If they were to really go to war with the Clear Sky Sect, they could lend a hand.

The Soul Master Tournament in Heaven Dou City proceeded as scheduled, but... the Shrek Academy contestants felt like they had a thorn in their side.

All sorts of scrutinizing gazes came from all around.

It wasn't all malicious. More often, it was out of curiosity and a desire to see what happened.

However, it soon became apparent to the others that the teacher representing Shrek in the preparation area had been replaced by a 'young man'.

A faint smile played on Mu En's lips as he glanced at the delegations from various academies.

Instantly, there was complete silence!

A true master can silence someone with just one glance!

The Conqueror’s Haki in the Douluo Continent is no joke; The King’s Arrival.

"Kids, focus on the game. I'll take care of what happened in Shrek City and get justice for it."

When Mu En sits there, he becomes a mountain.

At the same time, he proved one thing: Shrek wasn't just being stubborn. The Clear Sky Sect really did exploit a loophole!

This melon really gave them a good laugh.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating what would happen next, and even the Soul Fighting Tournament itself lost its appeal.

Among all these people were not only other forces, but even Mu En himself was looking forward to seeing how things would develop next.

Once the Soul Master Tournament is over, he will definitely go to the Sea God Pavilion to report on it.

I just don't know... which side will Sea God be on?

If the Sea God agrees to let him go to the Clear Sky Sect for revenge, then he can take this opportunity to test those two Soul Beasts.

If the Sea God disagrees, then... in order to appease the people, I can only say that the Sea God has issued Divine Oracle forbidding me from taking revenge.

As a result, the prestige of the Sea God will inevitably suffer some blow.

It can be used for both offense and defense.

Mu En shook his head slightly. "Xuan Zi, oh Xuan Zi, how come I didn't notice this before? You are truly a remarkable person."

If it weren't for the story 'fabricated' by Xuan Zi, the situation wouldn't be so passive. The Clear Sky Sect might have been able to settle things privately by offering some compensation.

Now, even Sea God can't intervene.

The key point is... even now, Xuan Zi probably still believes his theory is correct, despite the bizarre process and chaotic results. But the effect is good.

Even if the Clear Sky Sect were to emerge from the world, it would still be all alone!
