An Excited Leng Yulai

On the other side, Ice Empress, overhearing their discussion, frowned and said, "Even based solely on the paper strength I've learned from Yuhao, Shrek Academy and its related forces are not to be underestimated. If it really escalates into a full-scale war, Spirit Pagoda will find it extremely difficult to cope. Letting the Federation take the lead in handling this matter won't be easy either, will it?"

The Federation's strength is certainly not weak. For example, the Central Army, which is used to counterbalance the War God Temple, has a large number of strategic Soul Tool Weapons, including high-level Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, concentrated in the Central Army and directly under the command and dispatch of the Council.

The Central Army's base has over one hundred Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, as well as a super Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannon Shell to any location on the Douluo Continent, demonstrating the Central Army's strength.

But even if these legions, each with its own garrison duties, were to be mobilized, weapons of mass destruction could easily backfire in dealing with such a situation.

Or rather, what Ice Empress feared was that the Federation would go to extremes, thus sowing the seeds of future disaster.

Huo Yuhao could understand Ice Empress's thoughts.

If, as in the original story, the Federation dared to unleash Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell in Shrek City, Huo Yuhao didn't know if Shrek Academy would be Destruction. However, he did know that every single member of the Federation's top leadership would have to step down, or even die to atone for their sins. Their descendants would be cursed and gossiped about for the rest of their lives, and even greater turmoil would occur within the Federation.

This time, the Holy Spirit Cult cannot be blamed. Everyone knows it was the Federation's purge of the Shrek Academy, and no one can be held responsible for the lives of millions of people.

Even setting aside Shrek City, if the students of the Shrek Academy were to indiscriminately kill all the outstanding juniors of these Soul Grandmaster families, without giving them a chance to "repent," it would cause a lot of trouble.

For example, if you were to directly label Yue Zhengyu as an Evil Spirit Master, would they agree to such a slap in the face to the Angel Clan?

The biggest problem for academies is networking. After so many years of development, there are quite a few people and soul master families associated with the Shrek Academy.

There are Shrek Academy students in the military's high command, Shrek Academy students in other academies... even members of Congress have Shrek students. If the Federation doesn't want to give them any ammunition or a chance to overturn Shrek's case, it can't use extreme measures to completely destroy them.

This operation must be a trial of Shrek, not a massacre. The starting point must be just, and the process and outcome must also be just.

Only in this way can we silence everyone and nip Shrek's hope of revival in the bud.

"A single move can have far-reaching consequences. The Federation is currently controlled by numerous large and small Soul Master families. The Federation's higher-ups have finally acquired a suitable weapon, and they will handle it with great care."

Huo Yuhao said, "As for the inevitable growing pains, how could we possibly eliminate a force that has stood in the Douluo Federation for Ten Thousand Years without paying a price?"

In any case, the current situation is much better than in the original story.

In the original story, the total strength of the forces associated with the Shrek Academy was at least half the strength of the entire Federation, and in the end, they even created the bizarre situation where the Four Great Federation Powers belonged to the same family.

If that's really the case, and there's no one to take the blame, you really need to think carefully before taking action.

Ice Empress shook his head. "My concerns go beyond that. Since the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo Empire have already schemed against the Shrek Academy, they might interfere again, causing even more chaos during the Federation's internal strife."

"If that's the case, why not let Shrek use its remaining strength to wipe out Star Luo Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult before settling accounts?"

Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

"Ice Empress, you've got it wrong. Xu Chengzhi's approach is clever. He's handed us a knife, forcing us to choose Shrek over Star Luo Empire, Holy Spirit Cult, and Shrek. After all, some opportunities, once missed, may not come again."

Ice Empress was taken aback, then realized what was happening and nodded thoughtfully.

Oh, I see. She misunderstood.

What kind of knife did Xu Chengzhi to the Federation Government?

Shrek is accused of treason and betrayal, with some Soul Masters falling into Evil Spirit Master and suspected of having ties to the Holy Spirit Cult.

In that situation, could they finish off the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo Empire before turning their attention back to Shrek Academy?

No, because there's no reason left!

Shrek participated in the war and destroyed the Star Luo Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult with their actions. How can you say he colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult and the Star Luo Empire?

That would be slander!

Shrek now has more room to argue, making it much more difficult to deal with them than it is now.

The other Soul Spirit nearby suddenly understood, and Tian Meng clicked her tongue in admiration.

"As expected, it's an open scheme. Even after following you, Yuhao, for Ten Thousand Years, I still can't compare to you humans when it comes to these kinds of intricate schemes."

Look how dirty their intentions are! Their purpose and intentions are laid bare, yet they've grasped the Federation's demands, forcing the Federation to proceed according to plan. No wonder they're the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress discussed the matter of eliminating Shrek for a long time, and then sent the news back to the Spirit Pagoda.

The initial tremors may occur before they return to the Douluo Federation, so the Spirit Pagoda needs to prepare in advance.

After completing these tasks, Huo Yuhao returned to the delegation's residence in the Star Luo Empire. He was then pulled aside by Leng Yulai, who looked him over with a strange and shocked gaze, pointing at Jia Lin, whom Gu Yuena was holding in the distance.

Where did that child come from?

Although she had been told not to pay too much attention to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's actions, how could she remain calm after they brought back a child at the 20th level of the Innate Realm?

The Limit a Soul Master's Innate Soul Power Level Ten. The only record for innate level 20 is the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul from 20,000 years ago, which was a God-given Martial Soul!

Jia Lin's origins are clearly extraordinary, and she is very likely related to deities!

"I found it."

Seeing the disbelieving look on Leng Yulai's face, Huo Yuhao shrugged and laughed, "Your Majesty Dark Phoenix, if you weren't picked up, where else could you have come from?"

Leng Yulai was speechless for a moment.

She really wanted to say, how could a prodigy at the twentieth level of the Innate Realm possibly appear in a wretched place like Star Luo Empire?

However, there is no other reasonable explanation besides this one.

After all, it couldn't possibly be Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's child, could it?

After much thought, Leng Yulai decided not to dwell on the topic any further.

"The encirclement and suppression is about to begin. You will all be going to battle; leave the children in my care."

Regardless of where the child came from, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena have now taken them in; they belong to their Spirit Pagoda.

With a level 20 innate talent, coupled with the Spirit Connection Realm Divine Power she discovered through her investigation and equally impressive physical strength, this child is a prodigy no less than Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao. Her starting point is even higher than theirs, and her future achievements are absolutely immeasurable!

With Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena preceding them, and Jia Lin following them, their Spirit Pagoda may be about to usher in its most prosperous era!
