Qiangu Dongfeng: As Shrek Academy's number one hater, we'll do anything to take Shrek down

At that very moment, an urgent call suddenly came through on the Communication Device in Qiangu Dongfeng's private office as Pagoda Master at the Spirit Pagoda, also located in Shrek City.

Qiangu Dongfeng was researching Soul Spirits at the time and hated being disturbed above all else.

"Little Four, I told you, no one is to disturb me while I'm researching Soul Spirits unless Shrek blows up."

"It blew up! It blew up! It blew up!"

"Blew up, my ass! Do I look that easy to fool?"

"It really blew up! Pagoda Master, Clan Head, someone's attacked Shrek on its own doorstep! No, no, a Soul Beast has attacked it?"

"A Soul Beast? There aren't even any Soul Beasts left-is it those few Ferocious Beasts? They've gone after Shrek?"

Upon hearing this news, delight immediately appeared on Qiangu Dongfeng's face. Even the Soul Spirit in his hand lost its appeal. He immediately tossed it aside, then connected the video call and asked:

"What's happening now?"

"Clan Head, Beast God Di Tian came alone, and he's slaughtering people inside Shrek Academy right now.

"He just wiped out hundreds of Shrek teachers and students with one hand, and even killed Cai Yue'er and all the Titled Douluos and Soul Douluos of the Shrek Guard with the shock of his attack.

"From the way he looks, he's not going to stop until either he or Shrek is dead."

"Fight Shrek to the death? What's gotten into him? Suddenly going after Shrek-if Di Tian wanted to attack anyone, it ought to be us."

"You certainly know yourself."

Qiangu Lingsi snarked from the other end of the Communication Device, then explained, "I was there the whole time. I nearly lost my life!

"Pagoda Master, being an undercover agent isn't easy either. When can I come back?"

"Oh, get lost. Get to the point."

"It seems Di Tian discovered that Shrek had hidden a huge number of Soul Beast corpses, and he went berserk!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Upon hearing this news, Qiangu Dongfeng slapped his thigh hard.

"So that's why. Now that makes sense. We only took the Soul Beasts' souls, but Shrek insisted on buying their meat cheaply as payment for what they did back then, and they've kept it stored all this time.

"I regretted giving them the Soul Beast meat back then, but now it looks like it was a death warrant.

"Good, good, good! With Beast God Di Tian going after Shrek, isn't Shrek finished?"

"Pagoda Master, Shrek Academy has Yun Ming. How could it possibly be finished? Beast God Di Tian is nothing special, is he? Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare come out?"

"There's a reason Beast God Di Tian doesn't come out.

"We don't know what it is either, but we know the Soul Beast Clan and the Ferocious Beast group better than Shrek does.

"Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, once left behind some secrets. Among them was an account of his battle with Di Tian just before he became a god. He narrowly won by half a move.

"Do you know what that means?

"Di Tian's strength is at the divine level.

"So why do you think our Spirit Pagoda leaves all those Ferocious Beasts alone instead of attacking him?

"Is it because we don't want them? It's because we can't beat him!"

"Then why do we still dare slaughter Soul Beasts on such a massive scale?" Qiangu Lingsi asked curiously.

"Slaughtering Soul Beasts is the tide of the times. We've dragged the entire continent into the water with us. No matter how strong Di Tian is, he can't take on all of us.

"But if we really went after those Ferocious Beasts on our own, especially Beast God Di Tian, well, our Qiangu Clan isn't that stupid."

So that was how it worked?

The clan really was wise. No wonder it had grown so large in such a short time.

Di Tian wasn't someone to provoke.

Lin Ming had said the same thing.

And judging by Qiangu Dongfeng's tone when he said that Di Tian ought to come after them if he attacked anyone, he had probably long since prepared precautions against Di Tian.

Shrek simply had no idea how strong Di Tian was and thought he was merely a useless coward hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest. That was why it had come to grief.

And he had not forgotten Lin Ming's task, either!

Although the conversation had strayed a little, it made little difference overall. He only needed to make a slight adjustment.

This instantly left Qiangu Lingsi inwardly shaken.

He actually knew the Spirit Pagoda so well. Could this mysterious fellow have other people in the Spirit Pagoda?

Yes, that had to be it!

He immediately spoke up.

"Clan Head, since Di Tian is so powerful, Shrek definitely won't be able to hold out!

"They'll inevitably ask the Tang Sect and the War God Temple for support. Once all those powerful people come to suppress Di Tian, won't all his efforts be for nothing?

"And they'll even let Shrek pick up a 900,000 Years Dragon Corpse, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone for free."

He placed particular emphasis on the words "900,000 Years Dragon Corpse, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone."

At this reminder, Qiangu Dongfeng understood instantly.

"You make a very good point. Understood. Keep a close eye on things for me. Don't miss a single detail."

With that, Qiangu Dongfeng ended the call, then watched the video footage on the Communication Device without missing a frame. Next, he carefully weighed Qiangu Lingsi's words over and over and found that he did indeed have a point.

The fellow had actually wised up. To think he could see such a major matter so clearly.

His original desire to go watch the spectacle was completely doused. He could only shake his head regretfully, then dial a number he had not called in a long time.

Displayed prominently above it were the four golden characters of "Qiangu Dieting."

"Dad, busy?"

"If you have something to say, say it. I handed the Spirit Pagoda to you so I could go enjoy life. If it's nothing important, watch out, or I'll come beat you up."

"Dad, it's urgent. Di Tian has attacked Shrek. They can kill him, but they'll definitely suffer heavy losses. We can't let this opportunity pass."

"Something that good actually happened?" Qiangu Dieting perked up upon hearing the news from the other end.

Whenever it came to going after Shrek, everyone in the Qiangu Clan perked up.

"What's the plan?"

"Once Di Tian starts showing his strength, Yun Ming and the others will notice something is wrong and realize his full strength. Then they'll inevitably seek help from the Tang Sect.

"Asking for help only takes a Communication Device these days, and the Tang Sect isn't far from Shrek. With the Cultivation of Demigod Limit Douluos, they'll arrive very quickly.

"The Tang Sect and Shrek wear the same pair of trousers. If Shrek is in trouble, those two fellows, Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi, will definitely do everything they can to get there.

"Once those two use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Di Tian's life will have been spent for nothing.

"It's not often that Di Tian goes berserk. Naturally, we have to make sure Shrek remembers this down to its bones.

"As long as he's going after Shrek, he's a good brother of mine, Qiangu Dongfeng, even if he's a Soul Beast."

"You still haven't let it go, brat?"

"Isn't this our Qiangu Clan's destiny? The conflict has only intensified in my hands."

"All right, let's go."

"Dad, you know what I'm planning?"

"To intercept those two, of course. It's been a long time since I fought. Trading a few moves with Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi would be quite nice. It'll be a good chance to try their weakened Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"They haven't used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in ages. Let me think-it's been nearly forty years since I last had a taste of it. I even miss it a little!

"Let's go!"

Qiangu Dongfeng rushed out enthusiastically. As he left the Spirit Pagoda, he even looked toward Shrek.

"Beast God Di Tian, wreak havoc. The bigger the commotion, the better. Just keep at it. We'll cover your back. No one will come to support Shrek today, except..."

Besides going to intercept the Tang Sect's two top powerhouses, Qiangu Dongfeng dialed another number he had not called in a long time. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke.

"Brother."

Hearing Qiangu Dongfeng address him that way, Qiangu Qingfeng on the other end found it rather amusing.

"You call me brother when you need something, but otherwise you never get in touch?"

"Nothing of the sort! Sorry for the trouble, Brother, but could you make a trip to the War God Temple? Neither Dad nor I is a match for Chen Xinjie, but if we team up against him, no one will be able to stop Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Han Tianyi still owes me a favor. Have him help you. You only need to stall for a while, so that should be enough."

"All right."

Qiangu Qingfeng agreed without even asking any questions.

Seeing this, Qiangu Dongfeng finally felt completely at ease.

At this point, Di Tian truly had nothing to worry about behind him.

Di Tian, fight well!

As payment, I'll gladly accept your Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

"Hahahahaha!"
