Luring the tiger away from the mountain
At the Shrek Academy, Shen Yi hung up the Soul Tool Communicator and looked at his teacher, Crimson Dragon Douluo Turbid World.
"Teacher, is this okay?"
Crimson Dragon Douluo waved his hand, "You know the situation the academy is facing. These children are too young to get involved."
"Give them a break when they come back and let them go home. Don't let them stay at the college and get caught up in the chaos."
Several years ago, because a certain Moon Splendor Douluo made a mistake and was put in solitary confinement, the management of the Shrek Academy's Outer Court was handed over to him.
Therefore, Turbid World must naturally shoulder the responsibilities of being the dean.
Although Turbid World felt that the Douluo Federation wouldn't make things difficult for a group of children, he worried that those outstanding younger generations might do something irrational after learning about the predicament Shrek was facing.
In a place like Douluo Continent, there are no laws protecting minors, and no one will treat a group of Soul Masters as ordinary children. If something really happens, it will only add fuel to the fire.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent.
Go home? Can Ye Xinglan even go back?
Thinking of a certain rebellious girl, Shen Yi was speechless for a moment.
However, considering the current situation facing Shrek Academy, Shen Yi quickly put those thoughts aside and asked worriedly, "Teacher, is the news from the Star Luo Empire true? Is the academy really cooperating with the Star Luo Empire? And getting involved with Evil Spirit Master? Could it be a slander?"
Just today, she learned some very bad news about the college from her teacher, but even though it came from her teacher, she still found it hard to believe.
Shrek Academy is firmly opposed to waging war against the Star Luo Empire, but surely that doesn't justify cooperating with the Star Luo Empire for it?
"Hmph, I already told you to message the kids, how could it be false?"
Turbid World snorted coldly, then couldn't help but sigh.
"As you know, Shrek and the Star Luo Empire had a deep connection Ten Thousand Years Ago. At that time, the Sun Moon Empire was about to unify the continent, and the Star Luo Empire, in order to continue its national lineage, sent people on a long voyage to find a new settlement. Shrek provided assistance in this process."
"Later, to express their gratitude to the Shrek Academy, Star Luo Empire provided us with the environment and resources to develop there. Shrek's ancestors established a branch of the Tang Sect there, which has continued ever since. Even Thousand Years, the Tang Sect's status there was almost comparable to that of the state religion."
"So it's true that Shrek and Star Luo Empire have a deep connection, and Shrek Academy even provides them with technology and resources for development."
This involved a lot of exchanges of interests. Star Luo Empire hoped that Shrek could provide them with protection and development resources, and the Shrek ancestors were also looking out for a way out for their descendants.
After all, the relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy was tense Ten Thousand Years Ago. The fact that an academy that had always thwarted the empire's ambition to unify the continent hadn't been purged was only thanks to the protection of the Sea God Ancestor. Who would really believe that the Sun Moon Empire would never take action against Shrek after unifying the continent?
The Sun Moon Empire Emperor's bizarre actions stunned everyone. Shrek Academy actually pulled through again. This backup plan was not used and instead became the starting point for the Star Luo Empire and Shrek to deepen their connection.
"As for the connection between the Tang Sect and the Evil Spirit Master— "
As Turbid World finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "According to Your Excellency Duoqing's words, the entire Star Luo Empire is probably in serious trouble. This is a scheme by the Holy Spirit Cult, but it's also an undeniable fact that the Tang Sect has fallen into depravity there!"
What's the difference between the Tang Sect branch there and the Evil Spirit Master who consume Human Pill?
Shen Yi completely lost any hope and asked in a low voice, "Then what does the academy plan to do?"
"After these events, the Federation will soon recall the delegation, and only then will a conclusion be reached."
Turbid World concealed the cold glint in his eyes, glanced at Shen Yi's uneasy expression, and softened his tone.
"The academy has a strong foundation, so don't worry. During this time, just focus on your work and don't put pressure on yourself."
After Shen Yi absentmindedly left the courtyard office, Turbid World's expression turned serious again, and his gaze turned towards Shrek City.
Although he spoke casually, he had been unable to calm down ever since several uninvited guests arrived in Shrek City.
"They've actually sent the War God Temple to monitor the academy's movements; it seems the Federation is serious this time—"
The Shrek City Lord's Mansion is located at the northernmost end of the city's central axis, facing the bustling urban area. This building not only retains the solemn heritage of Shrek City's Ten Thousand Years tradition, but also incorporates cutting-edge design of contemporary soul guide technology, forming a unique modern-classical fusion style.
Because Shrek City has been autonomous since Ten Thousand Years Ago, it has continued the ancient system from Ten Thousand Years Ago. Therefore, there are no positions such as governors, only a city lord, and the city lord's mansion is not under the jurisdiction of the Federation, but only under the command of Shrek.
However, today, several distinguished guests arrived here, making even the Shrek City dare not neglect them.
Inside the reception hall of the city lord's mansion, an elderly man with a high nose and deep-set eyes, and three general stars on his shoulders, sat in the guest seat.
His aura was as deep and unfathomable as a prison, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth. The oppressive atmosphere in the entire room mostly came from him.
Below him were five other powerful figures with equally profound auras, putting great pressure on the Shrek City sitting in the head seat.
Feeling immense pressure, the city lord forced himself to exchange a few words with the old man, but could no longer hold on, and hastily made an excuse to leave.
"Your Majesty, matters in the city are quite busy. Please allow me to take my leave now. I will host a welcome dinner for you all later."
After watching the other person leave, a brief silence fell over the reception room.
The old man sat upright, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if he could see into people's hearts. After a long while, he looked at an old man with a furrowed brow below him. "Guan Yue, don't overthink it. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Yue Tian Douluo Guan Yue shook his head with a wry smile, "Palace Master, you don't need to comfort me. The Federation knows about my relationship with the Shrek Academy, and they still sent me here. I know their intentions."
As a former candidate for the Shrek Seven Monsters and now the deputy hall master of the War God Temple, he was sent to keep an eye on Shrek's movements after Shrek committed such a heinous crime. Whether he was monitoring Shrek or monitoring himself, he knew the answer in his heart.
The War God Temple, the Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, had a slight glint in his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"Looking at it from another angle, having your junior brother Yun Ming keep an eye on things is also a good thing for Shrek, isn't it?"
In his view, Guan Yue was simply overthinking things. As long as he was there, Guan Yue was trustworthy in the eyes of the Federation.
Moreover, studying at the Shrek Academy and being a candidate for the Shrek Seven Monsters isn't a particularly sensitive identity. After all, he's not one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, and not many people in the Federation know about his identity as Junior Brother Yun Ming. No one would really associate the Vice Hall Master of the War God Temple with Shrek Academy.
Guan Yue is currently overwhelmed with worry; her mind is in turmoil because of the Shrek Academy incident.
And wasn't he the same?
As he thought of a certain figure, Chen Xinjie's eyes became deep.
Chen Xinjie's thoughts were unknown to others. Several veteran war gods in the room looked at Chen Xinjie in silence.
According to your logic, sending you here is tantamount to hoping we'll fight Shrek.
After all, it's no secret that Vast Sea Douluo and Light and Dark Douluo were once husband and wife, but Light and Dark Douluo later remarried the previous Sea God Pavilion Master.
Although the previous Sea God Pavilion Master disappeared while exploring overseas and is suspected of perishing, the Light and Light and Dark Douluo are still around.
Given the personality of the Light and Dark Douluo Long Yueye, if they were to clash, and the Palace Master and she were already at odds, wouldn't they inevitably come to blows?
Some war gods thought to themselves.
Guan Yue knew that Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue's relationship wasn't that simple, but he didn't continue the conversation on that topic. "Perhaps, but isn't it a bit too radical for the Federation to send us directly to keep an eye on Shrek?"
The matter hasn't fully escalated yet, and Shrek hasn't been convicted. Aren't they afraid that having them keep an eye on each other might actually provoke Shrek?
"There are many members of parliament with differing opinions; some might even be hoping Shrek will be provoked?"
In the God of War, Blazing Sun Douluo thought for a moment and said.
Chen Xinjie's eyes flickered slightly as he listened to their discussion without responding.
This transfer order is indeed a bit strange, but considering that Shrek might be reckless and take drastic actions, it's not unreasonable to send them to keep an eye on them. After all, with the Spirit Pagoda and the army not moving, only the War God Temple has the ability to monitor Shrek.
When the first six War Gods of the War God Temple arrived in Shrek City, some councilors in Mingdu looked at the empty War God Temple in the distance, and a smile that was not human appeared on their lips.
