There was no need to convene a Sea God Pavilion Meeting.
The Sea God Pavilion Elders all already knew that there was no retreat left now.
"If Mu En woke up, what choice would he make?"
Their gazes turned toward Sea God Lake below.
Xuan Zi flew into the sky in silence.
His face was bruised and swollen, and Du Busi had beaten him dizzy, yet he had no choice but to step forward.
Before Mu En had fallen unconscious for the last time, he had transferred the vast majority of the Sea God Pavilion Master's authority to Xuan Zi.
Though he did not hold the title of Pavilion Master, he now held its power.
Thus, only he could answer how Shrek Academy would respond.
He looked coldly at this old adversary he had known for years, took a deep breath, and said, "Shrek Academy is willing to cooperate in the operation to eradicate Evil Soul Masters."
Du Busi corrected him. "The Heaven Dou Empire's operation. What the other two empires decide is beyond this old man's control."
Xuan Zi clenched his fists and said again, "Shrek Academy is willing to cooperate in the Heaven Dou Empire's operation to eradicate Evil Soul Masters."
Only then did Du Busi look thoroughly satisfied.
Using the weight of a righteous cause to pressure Shrek felt wonderful.
Du Busi put away the Heaven Dou Imperial Seal and the Land Deed. "Since Shrek Academy is a neutral force, the Heaven Dou Empire will permit you to retain independent command over Shrek Academy's members, provided you accept deployment orders."
Then he waved his hand. "The Sun Moon Empire has been moving troops frequently along Heaven Dou's border lately. As deputy commander of this operation, I must trouble you all to go there and hold the line."
