Loyalty!

Yu Guanzhi raised his brush.

He wrote in the air, his strokes flowing like dragons and serpents, completed in one fluid motion.

An ancient, rustic character for "Suppress" condensed in the air.

Then it bore down on Yu Yuanxiao.

Yu Yuanxiao's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated his martial soul to resist.

But at the instant the two collided...

Yu Yuanxiao's body suddenly stiffened, as though a mountain had settled upon his shoulders.

His knees bent, veins bulging across his forehead. The character "Suppress" had pinned him so thoroughly that he could not move.

At the same time...

The army behind Yu Guanzhi began to move.

Two red mechas rose from the ranks, their crimson paint especially striking in the twilight.

And behind them...

Several hundred black mechas took to the air.

The roar of their engines was deafening!

The mecha formation instantly streaked across the sky toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's estate, the Soul Guidance cannon barrels beneath their frames gleaming with cold light.

At the same time, soldiers unloaded Soul Guidance Cannon Platforms from transport vehicles and swiftly set them up on elevated positions around the estate.

The cannon barrels slowly rose, aiming at coordinates throughout the estate.

Each platform was staffed by an observer holding a high-precision detection Soul Tool, constantly monitoring fluctuations of Soul Power within the estate.

The moment a resister appeared at any coordinate...

A shell would be fired directly at them!

The battle began.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possessed deep foundations spanning ten thousand years and many powerful experts, they were still no match for the fully armed and superbly equipped Central Legion.

The clan's Soul Masters summoned their martial souls one after another, the lightning of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons flashing throughout the estate...

But the next moment...

They were swallowed by the dense firepower of the Soul Guidance Cannon Platforms.

The mecha forces weaved through the air.

Title Douluo-level mecha pilots controlled the red mechas as they confronted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Super Douluo elders, fighting to a standstill.

Meanwhile, the soldiers on the ground advanced in formation. The blue flashes from their synchronized Soul Guidance Rifle volleys fell like rains of death, mowing down the clan guards who dared resist.

The battle lasted a full five hours.

From dusk until deep into the night...

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's estate was reduced to ruins.

Ancient halls collapsed.

Exquisite pavilions burned down.

The plaques and statues passed down for ten thousand years...

Were reduced to ash amid the flames of war.

At that moment, blood dyed the bluestone paths red...

The air was thick with the stench of burning and blood.

And when the final gunshot faded...

It was all over.

Every member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was imprisoned.

Clan leader Yu Yuanxiao, the elders, and every direct descendant of the clan, regardless of gender or age, were all escorted onto military Soul Guidance transport vehicles.

Their hands and feet were bound with specially made Soul-Sealing Chains, and they were locked in iron cages like lambs awaiting slaughter.

At the same time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's full twenty thousand years of accumulated wealth flowed into the Federation's pockets.

Gold, jewels, Soul Tools, rare metals, heavenly treasures, Soul Beast materials...

Countless precious resources were carried out from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan estate's treasure vaults.

It took the soldiers three days and three nights to empty them.

The quartermaster in charge of inventory trembled as he looked at the densely packed list.

Chen Yu upheld the motto, "When big brother eats meat, little brothers eat meat too."

He kept only seventy percent for himself and handed the remaining thirty percent to Yu Guanzhi to distribute among the brothers of the Central Legion.

After receiving the resources, Yu Guanzhi immediately distributed half of them among the soldiers and officers who had taken part in the battle.

That night...

Cheers erupted from the Central Legion's camp.

Afterward, news of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's destruction spread, shocking the entire Federation.

Everyone was left speechless by the news.

That was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

A martial soul clan with a legacy of over ten thousand years, one of the oldest and most powerful forces on the continent.

It had countless ties to Shrek Academy, had nurtured innumerable outstanding Soul Masters, and its name was written into the continent's history textbooks.

And now, this clan had vanished from the continent overnight.

Its estate was destroyed, its resources confiscated, and its people imprisoned.

A colossal entity that had stood for ten thousand years...

Had collapsed just like that.

At that moment, the entire Federation was plunged into immense shock.

The politicians remained silent.

The aristocratic families and sects that had previously stepped forward to speak for Shrek now fell silent one after another, no longer daring to utter another word.

Public opinion on the major Soul Guidance Network platforms reversed in an instant. Those "experts" hurriedly deleted their posts and fled, as though none of it had ever happened.

And everyone was thinking of the same question.

How would Shrek Academy respond?

Meanwhile, at the Sea God Pavilion.

The Sea God Pavilion was brightly lit.

A group of senior elders sat on both sides of the long table.

Yet the hall that had witnessed countless major decisions over Shrek Academy's twenty-thousand-year history was now permeated by an unprecedented sense of oppression and heaviness.

At present, within the Sea God Pavilion...

There was utter silence.

It was not peaceful silence, but deathly silence.

No one spoke. Even the sound of breathing had been deliberately suppressed to the lowest possible level.

Everyone wore dazed expressions, their hollow eyes fixed on the tabletop or staring into empty space, as though they had yet to recover from the shocking news.

They had not expected Chen Yu to dare kill Shrek Academy's Supreme Elder!

This was no longer a matter of disrespect.

It was a naked provocation!

A provocation against Shrek Academy's twenty thousand years of glory!

A provocation against every powerhouse of the Sea God Pavilion!

Long Yeyue was Shrek's Supreme Elder, one of the few Limit Douluo powerhouses on the continent, and the eldest and most senior figure within the Sea God Pavilion.

Her name itself was a deterrent.

Her very existence was one of Shrek Academy's unshakable symbols.

Yet she had died just like that.

But beyond their fury...

Fear rose within their hearts.

Long Yeyue was a Limit Douluo!

Furthermore, she possessed the Twin Martial Souls of the Radiant Sacred Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon, two top-tier martial souls. Her strength was equivalent to a Demigod, and she could even battle a Quasi-God.

Her Radiant Sacred Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon were each martial souls that stood at the pinnacle of Soul Masters. Possessing both at once made her combat power so terrifying that only a handful of people on the entire continent could rival her.

Yet such a supreme powerhouse...

Had been nailed to death by Chen Yu with a single spear strike.

After all...

Chen Yu had not even appeared in person. He had simply used a spear to suppress and kill Long Yeyue from here. What kind of terrifying strength was that?!

That silver-white spear light that had flown from tens of thousands of miles away.

That spear that had effortlessly pierced through the Four-Word Battle Armor and the defenses of the two Sacred Dragons.

It was still embedded in the ruins of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Like a thorn, it had pierced deeply into the heart of every person present.
