Worthy of Shrek, Unchanged as Ever
When Zhongli Wu learned that his wife had been injured, that the two Saintess had suffered injuries of varying degrees, that the Holy Spirit Cult members who participated in the war had been wiped out, and that even two Titled Douluo had been besieged and killed, he instantly flew into a rage.
"Damn bastard! Does Yan Shaozhe want to die?"
Zhongli Wu slammed his fist on the table and immediately ordered people to treat Feng Ling, Ma Xiaotao, and Tang Ya. After making the arrangements, he summoned all the Titled Douluo- level experts of the Holy Spirit Cult and prepared to personally lead his men to kill Yan Shaozhe.
Even their Holy Spirit Cult knew to restrain themselves and prevent the situation from escalating, which led to a full-scale war between the Holy Spirit Cult, Star Luo Empire, and Heaven Soul.
But Yan Shaozhe, that guy, did something really bad right from the start. Did he really think the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't destroy Shrek Academy?
However, just as Zhongli Wu was preparing to take revenge himself, Ye Xishui suddenly appeared and looked at Zhongli Wu calmly.
"I've taught you countless times that you must stay calm no matter what you're facing, so why do you still make such a basic mistake?"
Zhongli Wu felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; he truly couldn't understand how his mother could say such a thing!
She's usually the most irrational and impulsive person, but now she's standing up and lecturing me with these kinds of words!
However, Zhongli Wu was clearly not interested in arguing with Ye Xishui at the moment, and instead looked at her and said in a deep voice.
"Yan Shaozhe's behavior has crossed the line, and we must make him pay the price! Let everyone know that it is only our Holy Spirit Cult that does not follow the rules, and what the consequences will be for daring to disobey the rules of our Holy Spirit Cult!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui looked around and then said in a deep voice.
"Alright, that's enough."
Zhongli Wu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Why? Why does it have to end here?"
Zhongli Wu couldn't understand why Ye Xishui was so furious when the Sun Moon Empire sent troops to rescue the civilians of the Dou Ling Empire. She wanted nothing more than to take Long Xiaoyao to Mingdu and cause a huge scene.
But now Shrek has trampled the Holy Spirit Cult's face underfoot and even killed two of their Titled Douluo, yet she casually said, "That's enough."
Are you kidding me?!
Not only Zhongli Wu couldn't understand, but even the Titled Douluo present were all looking at Ye Xishui with blank expressions, wanting to know why this usually domineering Supreme Elder had made such a decision.
However, Ye Xishui could not possibly reveal the truth; she simply said coldly.
"It's not the right time to start a full-scale war with the Shrek Academy. If we kill Yan Shaozhe now, that guy Mu En will definitely go crazy."
That is indeed a reason, but it's not convincing at all.
The thought of his wife being attacked by Yan Shaozhe and his men made Zhongli Wu unable to swallow his anger.
"Are we just going to let Yan Shaozhe go like this? Just let it go like that? They're the Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master, or are we? Do we have more to worry about than Shrek Holy Spirit Cult?"
Zhongli Wu's words were agreed upon by all the elders present.
One of the key factors that drives them to become Evil Soul Master is their ability to act recklessly.
If one is bound by rules and restrictions, what's the point of being a Evil Soul Master? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Thinking of this, these guys all tried to persuade Ye Xishui to change her mind, and guaranteed that they would kill Yan Shaozhe and the Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Soul this time, which would make the whole continent tremble with fear for the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, what they didn't notice was that as she listened to their words, Ye Xishui's eyes grew increasingly cold.
Finally, with a cold snort, the aura of the Ultimate Douluo burst forth from his body, and he said in a cold voice.
"I said, this matter ends here! Anyone who dares to disobey, step forward and speak!"
As Ye Xishui finished speaking, the scene fell silent. The elders all kept their eyes down and dared not make a sound.
Only Zhongli Wu dared to risk Ye Xishui's wrath for the sake of his wife, Feng Ling.
"Since the Supreme Elder is unwilling to get involved in this matter, I guarantee I won't drag you into it! I will bear all the consequences myself!"
Ye Xishui stared at Zhongli Wu with a chilling gaze. To her surprise, Zhongli Wu, who would always back down in the past at such times, was now staring back at her without flinching, determined to lead the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult Sect to cause trouble for Yan Shaozhe.
This annoyed Ye Xishui, but she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Now that things have come to this, any further obstruction might alert others to the unusual situation. If Yan Shaozhe's identity is exposed as a result, it would be a bad thing for Ye Xishui.
Hesitation only leads to trouble, and indecisiveness has never been Ye Xishui's nature!
Having made her decision, Ye Xishui didn't stop her anymore. She turned around and was about to leave, saying in a calm voice devoid of any emotion.
"Go if you want to."
Although she didn't want Yan Shaozhe to die, Ye Xishui's own ambition was clearly more important than Yan Shaozhe's life!
After obtaining Ye Xishui's permission, Zhongli Wu and the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult no longer had any reservations and, led by Zhongli Wu, headed directly towards the border area of the three countries of the Star Luo Empire, Heaven Soul, and Dou Ling Empire.
Upon learning of this, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya immediately reported to Huo Yuhao, letting him know that they had completed their mission.
Huo Yuhao was generous with his praise, showering them with compliments that made them overjoyed and eagerly anticipate the next task Huo Yuhao would assign.
Tang Ya sighed with great regret.
"It's a pity that we failed to absorb Bei Bei's Life Force and Soul Power this time. Otherwise, Zhongli Wu wouldn't have needed to provoke a war. Shrek Academy would probably have been the first to launch a full-scale war against the Holy Spirit Cult."
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly to comfort him.
"There's no need to rush this. Judging from Zhongli Wu and Yan Shaozhe's performance, this war has only just begun."
"From now on, neither of you needs to do anything extra. Just wait patiently, and they will gradually get angry and escalate the situation again!"
After ending the contact, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Shrek is still the same Shrek, without the Sisi change.
Just like during the Soul Master Competition, Huo Yuhao merely provided guidance, but through a series of actions by their own people, Shrek Academy, which had been glorious for ten thousand years, collapsed and was completely disgraced.
The same applies now.
Yan Shaozhe's actions have become the catalyst for a full-scale war between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy. After Zhongli Wu leads his men to cause trouble this time, regardless of whether Yan Shaozhe dies in this battle, their war is already inevitable!
Most importantly, even if both sides want to de-escalate the conflict and recuperate, with Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya, these two undercover Saintess, there is no way they can stop fighting.
After all, Tang Ya had always wanted to find an opportunity to use the Dark Blue Silver Grass to devour Bei Bei, who possessed the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, and Xu Sanshi, who had evolved into the Black Tortoise!
