Shrek and the Federation took the blame; the world was unpredictable

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Qian Gu Dong Feng's pupils dilated slightly. He gave Huo Yuhao a deep look before saying in a deep voice, "Then I'll leave this matter to Your Majesty."

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod, Qian Gu Dong Feng turned to the crowd, "Afterwards, headquarters will distribute the Possession Demon Detector to each branch. Each branch Tower Master will be fully responsible for completing the internal screening as quickly as possible while ensuring secrecy, and establishing a routine monitoring mechanism."

"The Federation will be coordinated by Tower Master, with the primary focus on searching for the Possession Demon. We should not act rashly. Afterward, the powerful members of various organizations will work together to capture it and hand it over to His Majesty Huo Yuhao for processing."

The nature of Possession Demon means that ordinary Titled Douluo Grandmasters) Undying or capture them, and might even get themselves killed. It would be best for Limit Douluo Grandmasters) carrying Divine Tool to go. After all, ordinary attacks can be absorbed and used by the Possession Demon, but they cannot take advantage of the encirclement and attacks from Divine Tool.

"This is also an opportunity; we must annihilate the Possession Demon within the Douluo Continent in one fell swoop!"

The sound of the Qian Gu Dong Feng carries an unwavering resolve.

Possession Demon are too dangerous and too elusive. Now that they have been exposed, we must not give them any more chance to regroup, move away, or hide even deeper.

Moreover, the Possession Demon is currently located inside the Douluo Continent, far from the Abyss Passage. If it is killed here, the Abyss energy on the Possession Demon cannot be recovered by the Abyss Plane, and it will be difficult to revive. This is a good opportunity for the Federation to get rid of this troublesome creature.

After explaining the matter of the Possession Demon, Qian Gu Dong Feng confirmed that no one had any further objections, paused, and then brought up another matter.

"Besides discussing the matter of Possession Demon, there are a few other things that need to be decided at this meeting."

The voice of Qian Gu Dong Feng regained its usual composure and stated several matters that needed to be discussed and decided by the group.

However, Huo Yuhao did not speak again after that.

After all, given the size of the Spirit Pagoda, there are many things he doesn't need to do. This is one of the advantages of being part of a powerful force. Huo Yuhao doesn't have to experience the life of those lone-wolf protagonists now.

Before the meeting ended, the last thing Qian Gu Dong Feng mentioned caught Huo Yuhao's attention.

"The remnants of Shrek Academy took all the high-grade immortal Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Does this mean Shrek took the blame for us?"

Returning to reality from the virtual space, Huo Yuhao recalled the news he had heard earlier, and his expression turned strange.

The last thing discussed at the meeting was the division of Shrek's estate.

While attacking Shrek Academy, the Federation naturally also paid attention to the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect base near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was directly besieged by the Federation. After confirming that Shrek Academy had succeeded and did not need support, the Federation immediately took action and captured the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Because the Spirit Pagoda had contributed significantly in the past, the Federation was prepared to let the Spirit Pagoda choose the Shrek assets it wanted first. In addition, there were some Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with combat power inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so the Federation did not directly take over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After they plan to divide Shrek's assets, if the Spirit Pagoda intends to choose the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then they can have the experts from the Spirit Pagoda communicate with the Immortal Herb Soul Beast inside, thus avoiding unnecessary battles.

But things didn't go as planned. Before the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda could divide Shrek's assets, the remnants of Shrek suddenly emerged and broke into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Federation reacted quickly, but they never expected that when they arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they would find that there wasn't a single Immortal Herb over Hundred Thousand Years, let alone any Ferocious Beast beasts.

Lan Muzi, one of the Shrek remnants who had intruded into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, had bloodshot eyes and was staring at them with a murderous look.

Anyone could guess what happened next; after hearing the whole story, Huo Yuhao could even imagine what both sides were thinking at the time.

Lan Muzi: What a Federation! In such a short time, they actually persuaded Immortal Herb to take away our Shrek's foundation from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving only an empty shell for us to fall into their trap. This is intolerable! Let's settle all our old and new scores today!

Faced with the gaze of Federation fugitive, the Federation powerhouse's anger flared. "What a Lan Muzi! He managed to take away those high-level Immortal Herb in such a short time. As a wanted criminal, how dare he be so arrogant? He must be arrested and brought to justice today!"

The two sides immediately started fighting.

Although Lan Muzi wasn't arrested because he had powerful connections, Huo Yuhao was certain of one thing based on Qian Gu Dong Feng's account.

In the eyes of the Federation, Shrek took away those high-level Immortal Herb. But in the eyes of Shrek, it was probably the Federation that swept away Immortal Herb that were over Hundred Thousand Years.

Both sides took the blame for themselves, leaving Huo Yuhao both amused and exasperated.

Based on the previous discussions at the meeting, the Spirit Pagoda decided to relinquish all of Shrek's other assets and instead take over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Although there are no high-level immortal Immortal Herb there now, Huo Yuhao left behind Immortal Herb before taking them away, and they will grow again sooner or later. Moreover, Shrek's other assets, such as Soul Tool Technology and Space Technology, are of little value in the eyes of the Spirit Pagoda, so it is better to choose the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Thinking of all this, Huo Yuhao shook his head and chuckled.

"Doudou and turns, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has still fallen into the hands of the Spirit Pagoda."

All I can say is that life is unpredictable.

The Yuanen Family is a Hidden Family in Douluo, and currently only Yuanen Yehui is a member of the family who frequently travels outside.

Their ancestor was the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, and they are descendants of Er Ming and a human woman named Xiong Xiaoling.

The story is roughly as follows: Er Ming saves a woman, and they eventually fall in love with each other. However, Er Ming is worried that Xiong Xiaoling will not accept his identity as Soul Beast, so he comes up with a way to test her.

Er Ming left a message, telling Xiong Xiaoling that his true identity was Soul Beast, and gave her ten days to think it over. He told her to wait for him where he left if she was willing to accept him.

Of course, that's just on the surface. In reality, Er Ming was secretly spying on Xiong Xiaoling's choices. As a result, Xiong Xiaoling was heartbroken and chose to leave, planning to go home and wait for him again. However, she discovered that she was already pregnant.

On the other hand, Er Ming couldn't take it anymore, thinking that Xiong Xiaoling couldn't accept him, and never came back to see what happened next.

If the story had progressed to this point, in an era when Soul Beast and humans were still enemies, the two would naturally no longer have any friendship, turning it into a melodramatic love story.

But the times are different now.

Even though there are still few examples of humans and Soul Beast falling in love directly, the Douluo Continent in the Soul Spirit Era has long accepted this kind of thing.

When Xiong Xiaoling discovered that Er Ming had not returned, she became furious and turned the news of a Soul Beast abandoning her after seducing her into the headlines, causing a stir. The Spirit Pagoda and the Federation, upon learning of this, were concerned that it would affect relations between the two races and took the matter very seriously.

However, Er Ming knew that he was not accepted by the current Star Dou Great Forest, so he naturally did not have an officially recognized identity. Therefore, the staff of the Spirit Pagoda searched for a long time but could not find a suitable Titan Giant Ape.

However, Er Ming still kept up with the Federation news, and the story of the Titan Giant Ape abandoning a pregnant woman after starting a relationship was quite sensational at the time. Er Ming then realized he had misunderstood and secretly approached Xiong Xiaoling to have the "investigation warrant" against him revoked.

Xiong Xiaoling's original intention was also to seek official help, find Er Ming, and meet him; there was nothing wrong with that.

In the end, only the Titan Giant Ape clan suffered a mysterious loss of reputation.

Because of this different development, Er Ming naturally already knew about the existence of the Yuanen Family.

However, the small plane that he and Da Ming created together required someone to be in charge to maintain its stability; otherwise, it would collapse over time. In addition, the relationship had become somewhat distant over the long period of time. Therefore, apart from taking care of the first few generations of descendants, Er Ming spent much less time visiting the Yuanen Family later on.

Until recently, a considerable number of people, all remnants of the Shrek Academy, have appeared a little further away from the Yuanen Family.

"Damn it, we've looked after the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for so many years, and they've already turned around and sided with the Federation so quickly—"

One of the Shrek students, upon hearing Lan Muzi's story, spoke indignantly.

"Alright, that's enough. Everyone has their own ambitions, so you can't blame anyone else!"

Lan Muzi sighed deeply, looking at the True God (Er Ming) and Yuanen Zhentian, the patriarch of the Yuanen Family, in the distance, her heart heavy.

"Moreover, more than these things, we probably need to consider where we'll go in the future."

During this period, Lan Muzi deeply felt the influence of the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda on the Douluo Continent. They were practically trapped with nowhere to turn. Even the Yuanen Family no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.

Not far away, Yuanen Zhentian glanced at Lan Muzi and said in a low voice, "Ancestor, I'm afraid I can't help you. If these Shrek teachers and students are willing to live in seclusion peacefully and don't intend to do anything further, I can naturally help them. But if they insist on opposing the Federation, then I really can't help them."

He knew about Lan Muzi's trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Yuanen Zhentian also understood that this might be due to instructions from Da Ming Er Ming.

That is precisely why he needs to make his stance clear:

Out of respect for their ancestors, if the remnants of Shrek Academy are willing to give up revenge and resistance and go into complete hiding, the Yuanen Family, as Hidden Family, might be able to provide them with a secluded ancestral land for quiet refuge and ensure their peaceful old age.

However, if they still want to "make a difference" and want to be enemies with the Federation, then the Yuanen Family will never get involved in this mess and will take the initiative to sever ties with them.

"You have a long history with the Shrek Academy, and Yun Ming has done your family a favor. What's wrong with simply providing a place to stay?"

Er Ming frowned and asked.

Because of him, the Yuanen Family and Shrek Academy have a deeper relationship, not to mention Yun Ming's assistance to the Yuanen Family. The two sides have a good relationship; is it really that difficult to just provide a temporary place to stay?

"Your Yun Ming is still alive and has joined the Federation. We will repay that debt of gratitude, but we cannot repay it to those who have betrayed the Federation."

Yuanen Zhentian sighed and said, "Moreover, speaking of favors, we also owe a debt of gratitude to the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda. Even the fact that you, Ancestor, and Ancestor Xiong Xiaoling were able to reconcile and that our family was able to continue is also thanks to the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation. Yet, in the battle that led to Shrek's destruction, you still stepped in to help Shrek."

Er Ming looked somewhat embarrassed. He wanted to say that the two were different, that he had acted with restraint and had no intention of killing anyone, and that he was the one who ended up getting hurt. But the words stuck in his throat.

However, Yuanen Zhentian, seeing his expression, already understood his thoughts and sighed inwardly.

It was the Sea God Tang San who resurrected his ancestor and made him a god—so it was only natural that his ancestor would help the Sea God protect the Shrek and the Tang Sect's legacy and carry out some plans. In fact, if he hadn't helped, it would have made his ancestor seem like an ungrateful person.

However, while the Sea God's kindness to his ancestors was a favor, the survival and interests of the family were equally important. Yuanen Zhentian could not possibly risk his entire family's lives to help this group of restless wanted criminals from Shrek Academy.

With this in mind, Yuanen Zhentian didn't want to put Er Ming in a difficult position, so he simply advised from a safety perspective, "Ancestor, our family claims to be living in seclusion, but we are registered with the Federation. If the Federation connects this to your family's relationship with you, they might send someone to inquire about you. In addition, Yehui has already joined the Dark Department; if she knows about Shrek Academy, she might report it. It's not safe here."

This is not an excuse.

Some misunderstandings remained unresolved, Yuanen Yehui's expression towards them was far from pleasant. If she knew they were harboring Federation wanted criminal, she would probably report it to the Federation immediately.

Given that the Federation must have records of Titan Giant Ape having offspring with human women, the risk of the Shrek remnants remaining here is far too great.

Upon hearing this, Er Ming frowned, finally taking it to heart.

I initially thought this place was a good place to settle people because there were Limit Douluo here, but now it seems I should take them to the Clear Sky Sect instead.

Clear Sky Sect: Don't come any closer!!!

A few days later, Yuanen Zhentian couldn't help but feel that his decision was right.

In his Divine Power perception, he sensed powerful Federation members flying past his family's secluded residence, seemingly searching for something. His first thought was naturally that the Federation was searching for the remnants of Shrek Academy.

When he went up to ask, the result was exactly what he expected.

Faced with an inquiry from a Limit Douluo, the Federation expert replied seemingly sincerely, "Your Excellency, I am indeed searching for the remnants of the Shrek Academy. This is a detector capable of detecting the aura of Immortal Herb. The Shrek Academy remnants previously took away a large number of immortal Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and we intend to use this as a breakthrough to find their whereabouts. Of course, if you have any information about them, please inform us, and the Federation will offer a reward."

Yuanen Zhentian chuckled, but was also quite confused.

Didn't they say Lan Muzi didn't bring back the Immortal Herb? What's going on here?

After Yuanen Zhentian left with questions in his mind, the Federation's powerful figure and his companions communicated Divine Power. "The detector didn't react; there's no trace of Possession Demon in the Yuanen Family."

"Yes, families with Limit are indeed unlikely to be invaded by Possession Demon. Moreover, possessing someone from a Hidden Family wouldn't be of much benefit to the Possession Demon or the Holy Spirit Cult."

His companion nodded. "Let's go, to the next location."

They think they can find the remnants of Shrek? Impossible.

Everyone knows the Shrek remnants have True God behind them, who would be so foolish as to seek death?

The Federation and the Spirit Pagoda are merely using this as an excuse to search for Possession Demon.

On the way out, one of them spoke from the heart.

"I must say, the Spirit Pagoda is indeed very capable. They've actually managed to develop Soul Tool for searching for Possession Demon. Aside from its limited range, it's still very useful."

Another person sighed, "Not only that, I heard that the reincarnation of the Fire God inside the Spirit Pagoda has a way to save those who are possessed. The Possession Demon that are captured are taken there and handed over to him for disposal."

"These Abyss Creatures will no longer be a threat to the Federation!"

God knows how anxious they were after the Possession Demon invaded the Federation; no one wanted their companions to...

Family members have become "pseudo-people".

Fortunately, the Spirit Pagoda already has a solution.

Praise be to the Spirit Pagoda! Praise be to His Majesty Huo Yuhao!
