Looking at the murderous Kong Deming and Du Busi opposite him, Xuan Zi understood that today's matter would not end easily.
However, an even more pressing question arose in his mind: Where is Yan Shaozhe?!
The academy is facing such a formidable enemy, who specifically demanded that he come out for a confrontation. Why is he, the person directly responsible, nowhere to be seen?
Just as Xuan Zi's mind was racing, filled with doubt and uncertainty, a voice transmission, tinged with panic and disbelief, pierced his ear like a needle.
" Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe... he left the academy this morning."
It was Cai Mei'er's voice, trembling slightly. "He said... he received crucial clues about the Holy Spirit Cult through secret channels. It's a matter of great importance, and he must personally investigate and verify it; there's no time to lose..."
"They left this morning...? A clue about the Holy Spirit Cult?!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a surge of blood rushed to the top of his head, almost causing him to fall from mid-air!
He had just left in the morning when Kong Deming showed up at his door that afternoon, specifically requesting to see him!
What a coincidence!
This isn't some kind of reconnaissance mission; it's clearly... a guilty conscience fleeing the scene!
Just as Xuan Zi's brow furrowed and his heart raced, facing this difficult and predicament, unsure of how to proceed...
An aged, yet deep and resonant voice, like the sound of a great bell, clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"These two have come from afar, speaking with absolute certainty, accusing my former dean of the Shrek Academy of colluding with Evil Soul Master."
"This matter concerns the academy's enduring reputation. I wonder... do either of you possess any solid, convincing evidence?"
The voice wasn't particularly loud, but it seemed to instantly dispel the imposing aura of Kong Deming and Du Busi, making the pale-faced students below feel a weight lifted from their hearts.
It's Mu En!
All the Titled Douluo of Shrek, including Xuan Zi, breathed a sigh of relief the moment they heard that voice, as if they had found their pillar of support.
Despite the still dire situation, as long as this old man is still alive, Shrek's sky will never fall!
At the same time, in the center of Sea God Island, the towering Golden Ancient Tree suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light!
A vast, ocean-like aura of Life and pure, luminous energy surged into the sky, painting half the sky a sacred gold.
Amidst the endless golden light, a colossal phantom composed entirely of light-attribute energy condensed to its ultimate form slowly emerged and rose above the Golden Ancient Tree!
This phantom was hundreds of meters tall, with an aged yet kind face. It was merely an energy body, yet it exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain!
He didn't deliberately release any pressure, but the natural aura he exuded, which blended seamlessly with the entire Sea God Island and even Shrek City, was enough to silence the heavens and earth!
It was none other than Mu En, the true Sea-Calming Divine Needle Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo!
The pervasive aura of light that seemed to fill the heavens and earth, though not offensive, caused Kong Deming and Du Busi, both encased in Battle Armor, to subtly change their expressions.
With the incredible boost from their Battle Armor, they indeed possessed unparalleled combat power, confident enough to dominate the continent.
However, facing that enormous phantom constructed from pure light energy, they felt that even if the two of them joined forces, they did not have an absolute guarantee of victory!
The corner of his mouth beneath the Du Busi Mask twitched involuntarily, and he cursed inwardly, "What utter nonsense about the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons being equally renowned!"
"Although that old guy Long Xiaoyao is ridiculously strong, compared to this dying old monster in front of us, he feels like he's on a completely different level!"
Just how well has Mu En been hiding his true identity?!
He had fought Long Xiaoyao before. Although the other party was indeed powerful, he did not have this kind of overwhelming sense of pressure that made him feel as if he were one with heaven and earth.
The majestic Golden Ancient Tree on Sea God Island is not only a symbol of the Shrek Academy, but also the core of its millennia-old heritage and tradition!
It not only provides a vast amount of Life energy to aid cultivation, but also harbors deep within it a wisp of soul imprint left behind by the past Sea God Pavilion Master, carrying a portion of their power and silently protecting the academy.
At this moment, Mu En used himself as a guide, borrowing the power that had accumulated within the Golden Ancient Tree for ten thousand years, to condense this radiant and divine emanation into a luminous body!
Within the radiant glow of the Golden Ancient Tree, Mu En's aura had already surpassed that of an ordinary Limit Douluo.
Although he failed to truly break through that final step to achieve godhood, at this moment, within the boundaries of the Shrek Academy, Mu En is practically invincible below godhood!
They clearly recognized that, in this place, the Dragon God Douluo possessed an absolute home-field advantage that they could hardly contend with.
However, despite their astonishment, the two did not back down in the slightest.
They came here today not to overthrow Shrek, but because they have absolute reason and irrefutable evidence!
Even if Shrek possesses Tongtian powers, he won't be able to easily get away with this scandal!
With a flick of his right hand, Kong Deming revealed the recording Soul Tool containing crucial evidence once again.
At the same time, a pre-prepared Amplifying Soul Tool slid out from his sleeve and hovered in the air.
Immediately, the sound from the recording Soul Tool spread clearly and without reservation to every corner of Shrek City!
" Feng Ling, as the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, how could you still maintain contact with Yan Shaozhe of the Shrek Academy?!"
The information contained in that short recording was incredibly clear.
It was Yan Shaozhe who took the initiative to contact the Holy Spirit Cult, inciting the Heavenly Soul and the Dou Ling Kingdoms to send people to intercept and kill Kong Xuan.
On Shrek's side, from the Titled Douluo to the ordinary students, everyone's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
A complex mix of shock, humiliation, and disbelief spread and fermented among the crowd.
Their proud academy, their respected teachers—how could they possibly be colluding with the Evil Soul Master, the common enemy of the continent?!
"You bastard!"
A hot-tempered Sea God Pavilion Elder trembled with rage, pointed at Kong Deming, and shouted fiercely, though his voice betrayed his inner fear. "Who knows if that voice is real or fake?!"
"Who knows if you used some kind of Soul Tool Technology to imitate and forge it?!"
"To think you can frame Shrek's core leadership based solely on this dubious voice is utterly delusional!"
However, Kong Deming didn't even bother to lift an eyelid to such weak and feeble questions. He simply let out a cold sneer and didn't bother arguing with this elder.
His gaze remained fixed solely on the largest golden figure from beginning to end.
Kong Deming's voice was calm. "The authenticity of the evidence will be judged by the public."
"I think Pavilion Master Mu should know the name Feng Ling; she is currently the Vice Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult."
As Yan Shaozhe's teacher, Mu En was naturally very familiar with the name " Feng Ling," which had left a deep impression on his student's Life.
Not only him, but many of the Shrek elders floating in the air at this moment also had a deep impression of Feng Ling from back then.
She was also an exceptionally talented woman. If it weren't for the uncontrollable Evil mutation of her Martial Soul later on, she and Yan Shaozhe would have been a perfect match.
They may have still harbored a sliver of hope deep down, thinking that no matter how extreme Yan Shaozhe was, he wouldn't stoop so low as to collude with those utterly Annihilation Evil Soul Master.
But... if it's Feng Ling... then that might not be the case!
Cai Mei'er and Xian Lin'er exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and understanding in each other's violently trembling eyes.
They knew Yan Shaozhe too well, and Taiqing what a special and complex place the woman named " Feng Ling " held in his heart.
For a moment, the Shrek Seven Devils were in a state of utter confusion.
Kong Deming took in the ever-changing expressions on their faces and knew that the name " Feng Ling " had already broken through their last psychological defenses.
He gave them no chance to breathe or make excuses, his voice suddenly turning stern. "A recording, you can question its authenticity!"
"You can pretend you don't know about Feng Ling and Yan Shaozhe's past!"
His icy gaze swept over Xuan Zi, over the elders, and finally settled on Mu En's enormous Dharma body.
"Now, let Yan Shaozhe himself come out!"
"Confront me face to face!"
