Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the elders all looked unusually grim.

Xuan Zi, seated at the head of the table, kept his head down and remained silent, while Elder Lin displayed his anger.

As Elder Lin seniority at the Shrek Academy is similar to that of Xuan Zi, Elder Lin rarely displays such an attitude.

But at this moment, she truly hated Xuan Zi to the extreme. After venting her anger for a long time, Elder Lin sat down and waved his hand.

"Report the actual losses suffered by Shrek City and Shrek Academy."

An elder who had just dealt with the chaos in Shrek City stood up and said, "Of the two million permanent residents of the city, more than 400,000 died on the spot during the attack."

"At the same time, more than 900,000 residents were affected to varying degrees by the aftermath of the battle, resulting in heavy casualties during the subsequent fighting."

"Although most of the residents here are ordinary people, Soul Master who possess Soul Power are still able to protect themselves to a certain extent."

"But these Evil Soul Masters are too ruthless, and the number of casualties is even more unpredictable."

"It's no exaggeration to say that there are probably a million corpses lying in the city right now; it's a bloody reality!"

Every word was like a sharp knife piercing Xuan Zi's heart.

Although the elder did not disclose the losses of other buildings and property in the city, there was not enough time to complete the statistics so quickly.

Moreover, compared to the deaths and injuries of residents, the damage to buildings and property is not something that can be mentioned immediately. However, with such a large number of casualties, the amount of loss is self-evident.

Besides Shrek City, which suffered the greatest losses, the Sea God Pavilion within the Shrek Academy, which was also attacked, was like a thorn in the hearts of the elders present.

Ma Xiaotao was kidnapped; she was originally the leading figure and hope of the younger generation at the Shrek Academy.

Ma Xiaotao, who was expected to condense Soul Core to control herself when she became Titled Douluo and inject a boost into the increasingly weak Shrek Academy, was kidnapped.

Moreover, he was taken away by Evil Soul Master in a premeditated manner, which means that this genius who originally had the potential to become the foundation of the Shrek Academy was gone.

It is more likely to become a sharp sword aimed at the Shrek Academy in the future, and all the resources and efforts invested before can be said to have gone down the drain.

This inevitably caused heartache among the members of the Sea God Pavilion.

In contrast, Shrek Academy was already in complete chaos.

Other forces on the Douluo Continent have also gradually received intelligence about the attack on the Shrek Academy.

The reactions of the three imperial families varied, but they all expressed deep regret over the attack on the Shrek Academy, condemned the group of mysterious Evil Soul Master, and were willing to help Shrek rebuild.

The Sun and Sun Moon Empire, on the other hand, remained silent and made no move whatsoever.

Although this move is somewhat conspicuous, the Sun Moon Empire is now almost ready.

Even if they were attacked by the masses because of this, it would at most give the Sun Moon Empire a reason to declare war on the entire continent.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire's high command was well aware of their collaboration with the Holy Spirit Cult, a group of Evil Soul Master.

Rather than making inexplicable remarks that might reveal a flaw, it's better to remain silent and quietly accumulate one's own strength.

However, after learning that Shrek had been attacked and suffered heavy losses, those students who had graduated from the Shrek Academy over the years...

Those Soul Grandmaster who had already risen to high positions, serving as political figures and high-ranking military officials in the Three Kingdoms, all voiced their support.

Many of the carefree graduates even returned to Shrek City and personally participated in its reconstruction.

This scene also allowed various countries and forces on the continent to once again witness the profound foundation that Shrek Academy had accumulated over the past ten thousand years.

But as the saying goes, "The second is weak, and the third is exhausted." Although Shrek Academy has withstood successive blows and still stands strong, it is clear that it is already at its last gasp.

Although all factions were aware of the Shrek Academy's immense influence, being forced to the point of calling on graduates to voice their support was something that had never happened in ten thousand years.

"Sure enough, although we had intended to screen and select many graduates from the Shrek Academy, we did not expect that there would be so many people in key national positions who are devoted to Shrek."

"Heh, if my Star Luo City were attacked, would these high-ranking officials and generals be so loyal? I'll secretly note down those who spoke out and gradually sideline them. I can't do anything about them for now."

"Shrek lasts for ten thousand years is truly frightening. Could it be that one day the previous precedent will be repeated?"

The royal families of the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent were all wary of the power that Shrek Academy had now revealed, but at the same time, they were also relieved.

After all, the greatest threat is to remain hidden and not make a move. Now that Shrek Academy has fallen to this state, it's no wonder they're kicking them while they're down.

Although the threat from the Sun Moon Empire is imminent, Shrek Academy's own formidable combat strength and profound foundation are indispensable.

However, compared to the external threat of the Sun Moon Empire, the internal troubles that Shrek Academy has been rooted in for ten thousand years within the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent are also the root of the problems in the hearts of the emperors of the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent.

Although it has been difficult to detect over the years, many graduates of the Shrek Academy have had a significant impact on the succession of the thrones of the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent.

Such an action is undoubtedly crossing the Red Thread that all emperors are wary of.

In Clear Sky Fortress, Niu Tian and Tai Tan stood facing each other in the study, their expressions serious.

"That person still hasn't sent any further news, not even to Dong'er." Niu Tian frowned and said in a low voice.

"Brother, is there anything you're afraid to say? Dong'er finally got back from that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"The Divine Sense that person had been residing in her body has completely fallen asleep. If it weren't for the suppression of the Cold Jade Bed, Dong'er's injuries would probably be even worse now."

"If it weren't for the fact that you and I are not allowed to leave Clear Sky Fortress at will, why would Dong'er have to risk her life?"

Tai Tan said somewhat angrily, "What kind of bullshit plan did that guy come up with? It was completely useless."

Listening to Tai Tan's complaints, Niu Tian sighed and said, "It's too late to make amends now. Shrek Academy has also been attacked, and that person hasn't made a single move."

"I'm afraid..." At this point, Niu Tian's heart sank, and he made a conjecture that was hard for him to believe. "I'm afraid there really is a problem in the Divine Realm."

"I suspect that not only us, but even Shrek Academy may have lost contact with the Divine Realm, or rather, the Divine Realm may have lost contact with the Douluo Continent."

After hearing Niu Tian's assessment, Tai Tan was first surprised, then overjoyed. "Isn't that even better? Without the supervision of the Divine Realm inspectors, you and I can act more boldly, as long as we clean up the mess."

"If that's the case, I'll take Dong'er to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to heal her. I've said before that person was arrogant. Even with Divine Armor, how could Dong'er possibly break through with her original cultivation level?"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer," Niu Tian sighed, appearing to be thinking.

Seeing Niu Tian still hesitating, Tai Tan grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently. "Big brother, stop thinking about it and just do it!"

"If we wait any longer, Dong'er will be in danger. No matter what happens later, let's get through this first!"

After a long silence, Niu Tian finally agreed, "Then you take Dong'er to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If I remember correctly, that person should have already left relevant methods on that Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

"Do not cause any further trouble or act rashly. Everything should be done with the priority of protecting Dong'er."

"After all, as long as Dong'er's cultivation reaches its limit, then even if that person really can't make a move."

"With just her Divine Armor, Dong'er can unleash god-level strength, enough to dominate the Douluo Continent."

"Don't worry, brother, leave it to me!" Tai Tan nodded sharply and then hurriedly left the study.

Swallowing the rest of his words, Niu Tian reluctantly sat down at his desk and began to write.

Before long, Niu Tian finished writing a letter and sealed it up. He then handed the letter over to a Title Holder from Clear Sky Fortress.

"Grand Master." The Seventh Elder, who ranked last among the Title Holder of Clear Sky Fortress, bowed respectfully to Niu Tian.

After all, as far back as they could remember, Niu Tian and Tai Tan had been the First Fortress Master and Second Fortress Master of the Clear Sky Sect.

Moreover, even though they had reached the level of a titled cultivator, they still couldn't fathom the strength of Niu Tian and Tai Tan, so their respectful attitude was not surprising.

"Deliver this letter to the Sea God Pavilion Master of the Shrek Academy."

"The situation on the mainland is turbulent, Shrek Academy is in dire straits. Perhaps this is the time when our Clear Sky Sect needs to lend them a helping hand."

Upon hearing Niu Tian's words, the titled Titled Douluo's eyes lit up immediately.

Despite being Title Holder, they have been trapped in this small Clear Sky Fortress ever since they gained their strength. Although they are called a hidden sect, their true nature is to dominate a region as Title Holder.

They had their own ambitions, but were restrained by the suppression of the two fortress lords, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, and by the fact that many sect disciples with ulterior motives had been made an example of.

Therefore, they could only suppress their anger and obediently stay in Clear Sky Fortress to live out the rest of their lives.

But does Niu Tian mean that their Clear Sky Sect can now enter the mortal world?

Seeing Niu Tian nod, the titled elder suppressed his inner joy and pretended to be calm, saying, "Grand Master, rest assured, with me Tang Zhen, here, there will be absolutely no mistakes in this matter."

"Okay, go ahead." Niu Tian nodded lightly and watched the Seventh Elder named Tang Zhen leave.

Apart from necessary Soul Hunting Operation and resource procurement, the Clear Sky Sect adopted a completely isolated governance method.

Compared to the Body Sect, which is also a reclusive sect, the Clear Sky Sect has adopted a more thorough approach to isolation.

After all, for Niu Tian and Tai Tan, their existence was Tang San's backup plan left on the Douluo Continent.

It is also an important piece that can be activated at any time and play a huge role, so it cannot be easily exposed.

However, now that Tang San is out of contact, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, who are pawns, cannot sit idly by and wait for their doom; they can only give it a try.

Having been isolated from the outside world for many years, Niu Tian was unaware of the extent of the turmoil and changes in the situation on the mainland.

"I just hope it's not too late. I hope I can still make contact with Sea God Island and the Golden Tree." Niu Tian shook his head, but in reality, he no longer held much hope.

At this very moment, Tai Tan was carrying the pale-faced Wang Dong'er as they sped towards Sunset Forest.

A burly man was seen carrying an ice bed carved from cold jade, flying rapidly through the air.

A brownish-yellow aura of Soul Power enveloped him and the Cold Jade Bed, while the Soul Power also shielded him from the erosion of the external gale and ensured stability during movement.

Wang Dong'er wake up and fall into a coma at times, murmuring in a low voice.

Among them are Niu Tian, Tai Tan, her parents whom she has never met, and Huo Yuhao she spent only a year with.

Listening to Wang Dong'er's delirious ramblings, Tai Tan felt extremely distressed. Although as Tang San's Divine Official, his life and death depended entirely on Tang San.

However, he did genuinely care for Tang Wutong and even for Wang Dong'er when they were together.

After all, Tai Tan is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Although it has intelligence comparable to humans and its personality is not particularly normal, it is not a scheming person. It likes what it likes and dislikes what it dislikes.

For Soul Beast, making judgments is far too easy; they don't need morals or a sense of the big picture.

These are not words that can be used to bind ordinary Soul Beast. For most Soul Beast, their thoughts are driven by the simplest emotions.

"It's alright, it's alright, Dong'er, where's your second father?" He looked reluctant, but Tai Tan's speed did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it became even faster.

After all, even though the Lovesick Heartbreak Red was a scheme devised by Tang San, Wang Dong'er's body was already showing signs of collapse due to the pressure of the Divine Armor after being tormented several times.

The physical body is the vessel of the soul, and Wang Dong'er's already traumatized soul was now even more precarious and unstable.

If treatment and stabilization are not provided soon, even with the Cold Jade Bed to stabilize her injuries, Wang Dong'er will not escape death.

Upon arriving at Sunset Forest, Tai Tan immediately led the way towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The poisonous miasma on the road naturally had no effect on him whatsoever.

"What's going on?" Tai Tan looked at it more and more strangely, as this was different from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that he had expected.

Within the vast Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, only about two-thirds of the Ice Eye and Fire Eye springs remain, along with a solitary Wujue Stone and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red growing on it.

In addition, all other Immortal Herb and flowers, as well as the land of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was full of energy, were dug up.

But Tai Tan didn't have time to think it through and quickly put down the Cold Jade Bed.
