Xie An followed the secretary to the front of a private space.
"Temple Master, I cannot guide you any further; please enter on your own."
Xie An nodded and stepped into the space. The moment he entered, a contract-like entity appeared in his mind.
"You are about to enter a top-secret meeting. Please sign the treaty first."
"I agree to sign."
An invisible restriction manifested within his brain.
However, after sensing it carefully, Xie An realized that he could seemingly break free from this restriction.
But for the sake of safety, he chose to sign it anyway.
A tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Upon entering the meeting, he saw a massive round table.
Three people were already seated at the round table: Sea God Legion Commander Chen Xinjie, Central Legion Commander Yu Guanzhi, and the Douluo Federation Council Chairman.
Seeing Xie An arrive, the Council Chairman was the first to greet him.
Although the Council Chairman did not possess immense personal strength, being only a Title Douluo, he represented almost every powerful force on the continent, excluding Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
He was a spokesperson in the truest sense.
At the same time, this particular Council Chairman was somewhat unique; through his superb political maneuvering, he had effectively balanced all factions and earned the respect of everyone.
Following that, Yu Guanzhi greeted Xie An, while Hanhai Douluo Chen Xinjie was the last to do so.
Yu Guanzhi was the Central Legion Commander; with one stationed on Ming City mountain and the other at its base, the two were very familiar with each other.
Xie An saw a placard with his name on it and sat down directly.
There were seven seats in total, each with a holographic projection screen beside it.
Four of them were already occupied by Xie An and the others.
A few minutes before the meeting began, figures appeared one after another on the holographic screens.
The first face to appear was that of Western Legion Commander Dong Zi'an.
Dong Zi'an came from humble beginnings, relying on his mutated martial soul and outstanding performance on the battlefield to eventually become the Western Legion Commander.
Seeing Xie An, Dong Zi'an waved his hand on the screen as a greeting.
Immediately after, Northwest Legion Commander Yin Moshang, a level 98 Super Douluo, appeared.
Following him was the Northern Legion Commander, Guo Zhenfeng; compared to the other big shots who were over a hundred years old, he appeared exceptionally young at forty or fifty.
These individuals could be said to hold immense power, and they were all fiercely loyal to the Federation.
At least for now.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Council Chairman said in a deep voice, "Alright, everyone is here. Let us officially begin the proceedings."
The large characters "Shrek Academy Destruction Plan" appeared prominently in the meeting hall.
Yet, those seated showed not a hint of surprise, only calmness, as if they had long expected this.
"Shrek Academy has become increasingly rampant in recent years. A few months ago, War God Temple Master Xie An reported to me that their graduating students had come to Ming City again to conduct their so-called graduation exams."
"This is trampling the Federation's laws and dignity into the dirt."
"Currently, Shrek Academy students have begun to show signs of only knowing Shrek and not the Federation."
"Therefore, we must destroy them."
The Council Chairman said in a deep voice.
"That's right. The students coming out of Shrek Academy refuse to follow orders in my Western Legion; they are the most troublesome batch of soldiers."
Western Legion Commander Dong Zi'an was the first to echo the sentiment.
"Shrek Academy should indeed be destroyed; otherwise, a situation like the ancient times—where the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal—will surely arise."
Central Legion Commander Yu Guanzhi spoke as well.
"How shall we destroy them?"
To everyone's surprise, Hanhai Douluo Chen Xinjie stroked the ring on his finger and was the first to ask.
"Let the Spirit Pagoda collude with the Evil Soul Masters to carry out this task."
"Back then, the Spirit Pagoda Master had a row of teeth knocked out by Yun Ming, and he still harbors a grudge to this day."
The Council Chairman laid out his plan.
"The Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult—I'm afraid that won't be enough."
"It is impossible for the Spirit Pagoda to openly attack Shrek Academy."
"And those hiding, skulking things from the Holy Spirit Cult are hardly reliable for such a major task."
Xie An asked, somewhat feigning ignorance.
"I have already authorized Chen Xinjie to release two God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shells."
"Apologies, Xie An, I will not do such a thing again. You will be responsible for secretly handing the second God-Slaying shell over to the Spirit Pagoda."
"Chen Xinjie, do not interfere in the matters that follow."
The Federation Council Chairman recalled that before the meeting, Xie An had told him one God-Slaying fixed soul guidance shell was already in the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, and he said apologetically.
Xie An let out a cold snort and ultimately said nothing.
"Everyone, do you have any opinions?"
Just as the Federation Council Chairman proposed a show of hands, Xie An suddenly spoke up.
"I hope that destroying Shrek will not just be a physical destruction, but more importantly, a spiritual one."
"Oh? Does the War God Temple Master have any good ideas?"
"Nothing much. The Skysea Alliance will be held in five years, and I hope the Skysea Alliance Tournament can take place in my hometown, Eastsea City."
"I will invite Shrek to participate in my name."
"At that time, I will arrange for people to defeat Shrek, letting people realize that Shrek is not invincible."
"Speaking of Eastsea City, Chen Xinjie, can you give me an explanation as to why Evil Soul Masters managed to infiltrate my home?"
"Are your Sea God Legion and even the Eastsea Legion just eating for free?"
The Federation Council Chairman frowned slightly, but he did not say anything.
The other legion commanders watched the drama unfold.
"He must be thinking about his old flame Long Yeyue all day long. War God Temple Master, you have to be understanding of him."
Dong Zi'an, who was blunt and outspoken, said with a hint of mockery.
Surprisingly, Hanhai Douluo Chen Xinjie did not get angry. He only said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed my responsibility. Upon returning, I will conduct a thorough investigation and give War God Temple Master an explanation."
"Are there any other questions?"
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the Federation Council Chairman continued to ask.
"I have a question."
Central Legion Commander Yu Guanzhi said.
"How should we ensure that the God-Slaying fixed soul guidance shells will not fall upon our own heads?"
Hearing this question, the others also reacted, and their gazes turned toward the Federation Council Chairman.
"Central Legion Commander, you need not worry. The level twelve fixed soul guidance shells have all been pre-programmed by scientists; they will absolutely not appear above our heads."
"Should the Tang Sect also be destroyed?"
This time, it was Guo Zhenfeng who spoke.
"The Tang Sect is highly integrated with Shrek and must be struck."
"At the same time, some of the Tang Sect's cutting-edge technology has already affected the status of our Federation."
"The Federation cannot allow such an organization to exist."
"There are no more problems, right? If there are no problems, we will now proceed to a vote by show of hands on whether to approve the motion for the destruction of Shrek."
Seven hands were raised in unison, without the slightest hesitation.
"Good, the motion is passed perfectly."
"After returning, we must continue to maintain concessions and respect toward Shrek so that they do not detect any clues."
"Rest assured, everyone sitting here wants to destroy Shrek; we will all keep our mouths shut."
