Two Sensational Books

"Ten Thousand Demon King!"

"Here, my lord!"

Gu Yuena and the Auspicious Beast arrived at a relatively remote part of Mingdu. This was one of Ten Thousand Demon King's hideouts, and he was one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

"We are planning to move against Shrek now. I need you to do something. Find someone who is especially skilled at drawing illustrations and writing stories."

"My lord, may I ask what use such a person would have?"

Ten Thousand Demon King could not understand it at all. Could someone who could draw illustrations and write stories really be used against Shrek? Shrek was, after all, one of humanity's superpowers.

Could it really be defeated by someone who drew illustrations and wrote stories?

"We are planning to wage a war of public opinion."

"A war of public opinion? My lord, Ten Thousand Demon King does not quite understand. Could you explain it to me?"

"I'll explain it to you."

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, then began explaining their plan.

"We will collect Shrek's dark history while creating all kinds of stories to smear Shrek. After finding its dark history, we will embellish it further, continuously ruining Shrek's reputation and public image. Then, its enemies will make their move against Shrek."

"What use would that have?"

Reputation was very important in the human world. If Shrek's reputation was destroyed, then when Shrek's enemies came knocking, there would be no need for us to act. They would deal with Shrek themselves."

"I understand."

Ten Thousand Demon King understood Gu Yuena's meaning as well. Simply put, they would blacken Shrek's name and let Shrek's enemies deal with it. The method was simple. Although he did not quite understand what good it would do, it should still have some impact on Shrek. In any case, it was his lord's order. He only needed to carry it out.

"Then, my lord, what sort of stories do you want me to create? Or should I first bring that person before you?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuena said, "First, find someone who can draw illustrations and write stories, then bring them before me. It would be best if that person held a grudge against Shrek. That way, they would be willing to help us deal with Shrek."

"Understood."

After saying that, Ten Thousand Demon King left.

For a Soul Beast at the level of a Title Douluo, concealing his aura was easy. No one could find him, especially since the Sun Moon Empire had no Ultimate Douluo.

Afterward, Gu Yuena and the Auspicious Beast left as well. Unbeknownst to them, Morax was watching them.

"Looks pretty good."

Morax had secretly followed Gu Yuena and the Auspicious Beast while they were resting.

He was quite happy to see that the two of them were preparing to make a move against Shrek.

"Then let me start embellishing a few stories in my diary."

"First, Dark Auction House, then Grand Elder Xuan Zi's Secret Biography. These two stories will definitely cause a massive uproar in Shrek. I'd like to see whether this number-one holy land on the continent can truly stand shoulder to shoulder with Spirit Hall."

Morax then left the place.

Three days later.

Inside a tavern.

"Have you heard? Someone has been selling some very exciting books lately. Want to take a look?"

"What books?"

"Look at this one. It's called Dark Auction House. It tells what would happen if the Shrek Seven Monsters lost their battle against the Spirit Hall Empire."

"What?!"

"I'm telling you, the contents of this book are incredibly thrilling. It says that if the Shrek Seven Monsters lost, the men among them could only watch as their wives were sold as slaves and toyed with right in front of them."

"Ahhh!"

"There's an even more exciting one—Grand Elder Xuan Zi's Secret Biography!"

"What is this book about?"

"Take a look. What does it say?"

The man immediately picked up the book and began reading its synopsis.

"Synopsis: A long time ago, the Evil Soul Masters had an organization. To carry out a certain plan against Shrek, this Soul Master Holy Land, and take revenge upon it, the Evil Soul Masters specifically arranged for someone who had undergone brainwashing from childhood to infiltrate Shrek Academy. That person's name was... Xuan Zi!"

"That's right, Xuan Zi, the next master of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion. It even says that Xuan Zi frequently suppressed Soul Tools to hinder Shrek's Soul Tool development. He also often caused the deaths of many students from the Martial Soul Department. The students who died while fighting Evil Soul Masters, as well as those who died while hunting Soul Beasts, were all killed by Xuan Zi. His purpose was to weaken Shrek's strength."

"Ahhh!!!"

The explosive contents of these two books completely stunned the man. He immediately began reading them. After finishing the first book, his hands began to tremble. After finishing the other, he could hardly believe it.

"The first book may be somewhat insulting to Shrek, but the second gives solid evidence and sound reasoning. This Xuan Zi is a level 98 Super Douluo, yet when he led students to fight Evil Soul Masters..."

"Even though they were only Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, so many students still died. So many students also died while hunting Soul Beasts. I've always said that this Super Douluo is highly suspected of being an Evil Soul Master spy planted within Shrek. He consumed so many of Shrek's resources while fooling Shrek completely. That is absolutely possible!"

"So now, many families of the students who died back then have said they want this Evil Soul Master leader to pay the price. They have already organized an army and are heading to Shrek Academy to fight Xuan Zi to the death."

"Calling it an army may be a bit exaggerated, but strictly speaking, it counts as a Soul Master legion. The strongest among them are Soul Emperors, and there are at least over six thousand Soul Masters. That is the total number of all those families combined. Xuan Zi caused the deaths of too many students, offending so many Soul Masters all at once."

"Although the strongest among these Soul Masters are only at the Soul Emperor level, there are so many of them that Shrek has to give them an explanation. Otherwise, this number-one Soul Master Holy Land on the continent may be in serious trouble."

"So they are going to set out against Xuan Zi now?"

"Yes."
