Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 625 The Devastating News from the Heavenly Soul

Clearly, the probability that his soul remained in the Golden Tree after his death, thus continuing to protect Shrek Academy, is extremely low.

In this situation, Xuanzi's existence becomes very important.

Even though the opponent made many mistakes, he was still a level 98 Super Douluo, capable of dealing with the strong among the enemies and relieving the pressure on the academy.

Shrek Academy has suffered heavy casualties among its elders, leading to a sharp decline in the number of powerful individuals within the academy. Moreover, with a formidable enemy at hand, Xuanzi's existence is even more crucial than before.

He looked at Xuanzi and said coldly, "Xuanzi, you have made a grave mistake, causing not only huge losses to Shrek Academy, but also heavy losses to the Star Luo Empire."

Logically, I should punish you severely. However, considering that war has broken out and we are in dire need of manpower, for the sake of the overall situation, I will give you a chance to make amends.

You will now travel with Lin'er to the Star Luo Empire to continue fighting for them. However, you must obey all orders! Lin'er, if Xuanzi disobeys orders and tries to command others instead, you must persuade the others not to follow Xuanzi's commands.

“Yes, Elder Mu!” Xian Lin’er agreed in a deep voice. Although she was extremely dissatisfied with Xuan Zi, she also knew that with Shrek Academy’s strength greatly reduced and the Sun Moon Empire, a great enemy, starting a war, Xuan Zi could not possibly be punished too severely.

After all, if the Sun Moon Empire were to unify the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy would undoubtedly be in a precarious situation, and in any case, Xuanzi could contribute to the academy.

Xuanzi looked at Mu En and sighed, "Yes, Elder Mu!"

Yan Shaozhe stood to the side with a cold face, not uttering a word, because he knew that once the teacher made a decision and sealed it with words, he would never easily change his mind. His words of persuasion to the teacher just now seemed to have failed completely.

However, his hostility towards Xuanzi did not disappear.

Suddenly, an old man's figure appeared as if riding the wind and thunder, swiftly cutting through the rain with a whoosh, and then stood at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the newcomer was none other than the Beast King, Bow Longlong.

The other party was the person in charge of Shrek Arena. Due to his strength, he was not a senior member, but he could be considered a prospective senior member. He was a powerful figure with considerable prestige in the academy.

"Changlong, why aren't you at the arena? What are you doing here?" Xuanzi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Gong Changlong frowned, panting heavily, his face filled with panic. He roared, "Something terrible has happened!"

Something terrible has happened?

Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat.

After all, at this critical juncture, a major incident is undoubtedly bad news.

Mu En frowned: "Changlong, tell me, what major event has happened that made you rush to the Sea God Pavilion?"

A bitter expression appeared on Gong Changlong's face. He stared at Mu En's aged face and said, "Elder Mu, I just received intelligence that the Heavenly Soul Empire has announced its merger into the Sun Moon Empire, and the Sun Moon army has already stationed troops in many important cities within the Heavenly Soul Empire!"

"What!" Moon's face showed shock. He gripped the wheelchair armrests tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, obviously exerting extreme force. If it weren't for the special material of the wheelchair, the armrests would probably have turned to dust in an instant.

The others were also deeply shocked, staring at Gong Changlong with disbelief.

This news was simply too shocking. The Heavenly Soul Empire had actually announced its merger with the Sun Moon Empire, which was tantamount to a blow to the Shrek Academy's elite members. Undoubtedly, this was not good news for Shrek Academy, especially since it was located in the southeastern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire!

In this way, the Sun and Moon Army could easily march on Shrek City and threaten Shrek Academy. To the southeast of Shrek Academy lies the Star Dou Great Forest, where the soul beasts are extremely hostile to humans.

If the Sun and Moon Army were to press on, and the Soul Beast Clan were to seize the opportunity to break the peace treaty and launch a beast tide, Shrek Academy would inevitably be attacked from both sides, and the academy would be in danger of being destroyed at any time.

boom!
Xuanzi slammed his right fist into the ground, creating a deep pit and sending mud and sand flying everywhere.

He said through gritted teeth, "The three kingdoms of Douluo have always been united in their hatred of the Sun Moon Empire. Logically speaking, the Heavenly Soul Empire should not surrender without a fight."

Therefore, it must have been that the Sun Moon Empire, while engaged in war with the Star Luo Empire, diverted everyone's attention and then secretly dispatched troops to launch a surprise attack on the Heavenly Soul Empire, seizing the Heavenly Soul royal family. This allowed them to successfully annex the Heavenly Soul Empire into the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon people actually did such a thing; it's utterly despicable and shameless!

Although his words sounded somewhat like hindsight, everyone present felt that Xuanzi's analysis made sense.

Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "Now that the Tianhun Empire has been taken over by the Sun Moon Empire, even if the Sun Moon Empire needs some time to digest the territory it currently occupies and prevent problems from arising in the rear when launching subsequent wars, this also means that the Sun Moon Empire's next target will inevitably be Shrek Academy, Star Luo Empire, or Douling Empire."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Moon's expression was solemn. He felt that the already bad situation had taken an even worse turn for the worse, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders had become even heavier, but he had no intention of giving up on taking responsibility.

For the sake of Shrek's ancestors, he must find a way for the academy to survive.

If the Sun Moon Empire chooses to attack Shrek Academy, it will inevitably send a strong person who can rival the Limit Douluo, such as Kong Deming, but the opponent is currently a level 98 Super Douluo.

Even Moon himself, in his extremely poor physical condition, had no confidence in defeating his opponent.

He said in a deep voice, "Shao Zhe, issue an order to have members of the Shrek Surveillance Corps and Shrek spies in various places spread the news of the threat posed by the Sun Moon Empire, and have them invite the reclusive powerhouses of the three great empires to Shrek Academy in my name to discuss the grand plan to resist the Sun Moon Empire!"

In fact, most of the powerful individuals from the three great empires who had studied at Shrek Academy are now engaged in the war against the Sun Moon Empire.

However, many powerful figures on the Douluo Continent actually choose to live in seclusion.

Shrek Academy's reputation has declined, but by upholding the righteous cause of resisting the Sun Moon Empire, it might be able to recreate the glory days of over four thousand years ago when the headmaster of Shrek Academy commanded overwhelming support.

"Yes, teacher!" Yan Shaozhe nodded and agreed.

Mu En continued, "Xuanzi, Lin'er, you two take another group of students and set off. However, Lin'er, you must remember that these students can only listen to you, not Xuanzi. As for Xuanzi, you should not try to command the students either."

"Yes, Elder Mu!" Xian Lin'er and Xuan Zi said in unison.

Finally, Mu En's gaze settled on Gong Changlong, and he instructed, "Changlong, bring Wang Dong and Ning Tian over here. Remember, be quick!"

"I'll go and bring Wang Dong and Ning Tian over right now," Gong Changlong readily agreed.

Soon, the four of them left the place.
