The Arrest of Zhao Wuji

" Tang San?" Lin Yu immediately recognized him.

After all, at a time like this, only the thickheaded Tang San would dare to step forward.

"Xiao Yu, long time no see." Tang San came up beside Lin Yu with a smile.

Seeing Tang San standing so close, Lin Yu's eyes flickered.

Should I have Uncle Yue arrest Tang San right now? At this distance, even if Tang Hao is guarding him nearby, with Uncle Yue's current strength, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to react in time. A surge of murderous intent churned deep in Lin Yu's eyes.

In the end, however, Lin Yu chose to give up.

He still didn't know whether Asura was acting behind Tang Hao, so he couldn't be sure whether Tang Hao would erupt again after Tang San was captured. If that happened, even Yue Guan and the other two still wouldn't be a match for Tang Hao.

And by then, Tang San wouldn't be so unsuspecting around Lin Yu anymore.

Looks like I'll need to find a chance to test the waters. Lin Yu's gaze flickered, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao San, what are you doing here?" Lin Yu put on an appropriately surprised expression.

"My teacher told me to come here and join this Shrek Academy." Tang San looked at Lin Yu with some embarrassment.

Even as he spoke, though, his eyes kept darting toward Yue Guan and the others behind Lin Yu.

Tang San was no saint. The Tang Sect was a sect devoted to Hidden Weapons, and a sect like that was hardly aboveboard. On top of that, Tang San was someone who had stolen the sect's most precious treasure.

"Shrek? You mean this scam of an academy?" Lin Yu frowned at Tang San's words.

This time, before Tang San could speak, Dai Mubai spoke up.

"Who says Shrek is a scam academy? Could a scam academy have a Soul Saint and three Soul Emperors as teachers?" Dai Mubai glared coldly at Lin Yu.

"It's not a scam academy? Then tell me, what other academy teaches in a small village like Shrek? What other academy would extort application fees from its students?

"Besides these teachers, what else does Shrek Academy have? In all the years since it was founded, has it achieved anything noteworthy?" Lin Yu gave a disdainful smile at Dai Mubai's words.

Lin Yu had no favorable opinion of Dai Mubai.

A man who had abandoned his fiancée and run off on his own had never once considered what Zhu Zhuqing might have to endure.

And after coming to Shrek, he made no effort to improve himself or train hard. Instead, he spent his days indulging in wine and women.

If Dai Mubai had trained hard after leaving Star Luo City, Lin Yu wouldn't have objected so strongly. After all, it was understandable for a child to be frightened after going through something like that. But what he did afterward was disgusting.

In fact, if Zhu Zhuqing hadn't shown off her Martial Soul later on, Prince Dai probably wouldn't even have remembered who she was!

At Lin Yu's words, Dai Mubai was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I've seen you before. You're the one who took a pair of twins to a hotel yesterday, aren't you? You're so young, yet instead of striving to improve yourself, you spend all day thinking about things like that.

"Is that what Shrek taught you?" Seeing that Dai Mubai didn't know what to say, Lin Yu sneered again.

"Can't think of an answer? Want me to tell you?" Lin Yu looked at Dai Mubai with disdain.

"Shrek Academy has admitted a total of sixty-two students, but only fourteen have actually graduated.

"Can you tell me what happened to the other forty-eight? At twelve years old, they had already reached at least twentieth-level Soul Power. Which academy wouldn't have offered them a bright future?

"But after joining Shrek Academy, they faded into obscurity. And you were able to attract so many applicants by claiming that one of your students became an elder of our Spirit Hall?

"Shrek Academy has only been around for twenty years. Tell me, who reached Titled Douluo rank at the age of thirty-two? Which elder of my Spirit Hall was it?" Lin Yu's expression turned icy.

It wasn't only because Shrek Academy had ruined those students' futures. It was also because Shrek had tarnished Spirit Hall's reputation.

At Lin Yu's words, Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had been about to speak, fell completely silent. Zhao Wuji and the others could only lower their heads, not daring to say a word.

They were all teachers at Shrek, so they naturally knew these things.

"Should a scam academy like this even be allowed to exist?" Lin Yu said, pointing at Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji, and the others.

"Uncle Yue, take all of them back to Spirit Hall and punish them for their crimes." Lin Yu said no more and directly ordered Yue Guan and the others beside him.

Only now did Lin Yu truly display the authority befitting Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

At his words, everyone's faces fell. With a Titled Douluo making a move, they had no chance of escaping.

"Xiao San, is there anything you'd like to say?" Lin Yu turned to Tang San with a warm smile.

He wanted to see whether Tang San would still have the nerve to plead for Shrek after all its crimes had been laid bare.

The moment Tang San had stepped forward, Lin Yu had already guessed what he wanted to do. Otherwise, given Tang San's temperament, how could he have spoken up? Especially after six years under Yu Xiaogang's influence, Tang San was probably already harboring resentment toward Spirit Hall.

"Nothing. I just saw an old friend and wanted to talk with you." Tang San gave an awkward smile.

"Then I'm afraid we'll have to wait until I've dealt with the matter of Shrek Academy before we can talk." Lin Yu kept smiling.

"Sure. I can wait." Tang San stepped back again.

"Wait! I'm a prince of the Star Dou Empire. You have no right to detain me." Dai Mubai still wasn't ready to give up and revealed his identity, hoping it might get him out of trouble.

"A prince of the Star Luo Empire? I never thought the Star Luo Empire had fallen so far that one of its princes would join a scam academy like this.

"But doesn't the Star Luo Empire have its own academies? Why are you at an academy in the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire?" Lin Yu wasn't intimidated by Dai Mubai's identity. Instead, he struck right at Dai Mubai's sore spot.

"What, you? I don't care who you are. You used my Spirit Hall's name to deceive people. Even if you're a prince, you still have to pay the price. Spirit Hall will notify the emperor of the Star Dou Empire.

"He can explain why his own prince has tarnished Spirit Hall's reputation." Lin Yu stared coldly at Dai Mubai, entirely unmoved by the resentful, venomous look on his face.

"All right, you can leave now. There won't be a Shrek Academy anymore.

"Suotuo City already has Soul Master Academies. Why come to an academy that's obviously a scam?" Lin Yu said, shaking his head at the students who had come to apply. He had done this on purpose; it was the first step in dealing with those within Spirit Hall who had fallen into corruption.

"Ghost Uncle, take care of this matter afterward."

"Let's go." Lin Yu then left with Yue Guan and the others.

There had only been four of them when they arrived, but on the way back, five people bound with ropes trailed behind them.

The ropes were ordinary, but no one dared to try to break free.
