Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, in Moon's former room, the roars that rose and fell almost lifted the roof.

The group of elders stared at the shocking scene on the bed, stunned for a moment, their minds going blank. Then, a torrent of anger erupted like a volcano.

Long Xiaoyao's limbs and torso lay there intact, but his head, which should have been connected to his body, had vanished!

This isn't returning a corpse; it's blatantly tearing Shrek Academy's face off and ruthlessly trampling it into the ground! The other party doesn't take Shrek Academy, this ancient academy, seriously at all!
"Elder Song! Where is Elder Long's head?!" An elderly man with white hair and beard clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking, and his voice trembling.

Since the Star Luo Empire specifically sent the body back, there's no reason why the head should be missing! Without the head, how can they reassemble it so that Long Xiaoyao can be laid to rest?

Old Song closed his eyes, his face almost overflowing with exhaustion.

Silently, she took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her sleeve and slowly handed it to everyone, her voice hoarse: "Read it for yourselves."

Several elders quickly stepped forward, their hands trembling as they took the letter and quickly scanned its contents.

In a short while, their faces changed from flushed with anger to ashen and pale, and finally turned as white as paper, their breathing becoming heavy.

The contents of the letter were far more insidious than they had imagined.

The document not only clearly states that Long Xiaoyao's head was taken away by that mysterious Limit Douluo as a kind of "warning", but also includes the compensation terms proposed by the Sun Moon Team.

Those conditions weren't just outrageous; they were practically digging up the very foundation of Shrek Academy.

Ten top-quality 100,000-year-old soul bones, mountains of rare metal materials and cultivation resources, and a demand that no one could accept: either hand over the origin of the Golden Tree, or allow the students of the Sun Moon Empire to enter the Golden Tree's area for cultivation!

What is the Golden Tree? It is the lifeblood of Shrek Academy, the foundation of its millennia-long heritage! Neither its origin nor the right to cultivate it can be relinquished!

"Damn it! These Sun and Moon bastards! Do they really think Shrek Academy is a pushover, something we can bully?!" Gong Changlong was so angry that his hair stood on end. He slammed his hand on the table, and a spiderweb-like crack instantly appeared on the heavy solid wood table.

He strode out, roaring angrily, "I'm taking men to the Star Luo Empire right now and wiping out those bastards' lair! I'll demand an explanation!"

"Old Gong! Stop!" Old Zhuang reacted quickly, rushing forward to grab his arm tightly and growling, "Calm down! Now is not the time to lose your temper, much less to act impulsively! Didn't you see the last line of the letter?! All of this was instigated by that unknown Limit Douluo!"

He raised his voice, each word piercing the heart: "That person is capable of instantly killing Elder Long! If you go there, what is it but suicide?! Do you want Shrek Academy to lose another elder?!"

Gong Changlong's body stiffened abruptly, and the anger on his face was instantly extinguished, leaving only a feeling of frustration and helplessness.

He forcefully shook off Old Zhuang's hand, staggered back a few steps, plopped down in a chair, covered his face with his hands, and let out a suppressed sob.

Yes, the other side has a powerful expert who can kill a Limit Douluo, so what right do they have to demand an explanation?
The other elders looked at each other, their faces full of dejection.

For a moment, only heavy breathing could be heard in the room, the atmosphere so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

All eyes involuntarily turned to Old Man Song, who was standing by the bedside.

With Mu En's demise, Long Xiaoyao's tragic death, and Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe's imprisonment, Elder Song is now the only pillar of support for Shrek Academy.

Old Song felt the gazes of everyone and a deep sense of powerlessness swept over him.

She leaned on the table, slowly turning around. Her aged face was etched with weary lines, and her eyes were filled with a blankness. Not long ago, Shrek Academy had two Limit Douluos, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, as its leaders, making it one of the most powerful forces on the continent.

In such a short time, they have fallen into such a predicament—one Limit Douluo has perished, another has been beheaded, and the academy has been forced to its doorstep, without even the strength to fight back.

All of this is thanks to that pair of "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix"!
If Elder Mu were still alive, things wouldn't have come to this.

Old Song's voice trembled slightly, as if he were asking everyone, or perhaps himself: "Tell me... should we agree to these conditions?"

These words struck everyone's hearts like a boulder.

Agree? That would be like tearing out one's heart and flesh, handing over the foundation of Shrek Academy to others, and becoming a laughing stock across the entire continent!
They won't agree? The terrifying strength of that mysterious expert is undeniable, the Sun and Moon Team is eyeing them covetously, and the Star Luo Empire's attitude is ambiguous. Can Shrek Academy really withstand the storm that's about to break?
The room fell silent again, as if the air itself had frozen.

Meanwhile, inside the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Dai Hao had just finished dealing with matters within the manor when he looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in the courtyard. He quickly walked over and respectfully bowed, saying, "Senior Xuanji! What brings you here?"

Xuanji Douluo waved his hand, a friendly smile on his face, and patted Dai Hao on the shoulder: "Dai Hao, I've told you so many times, just call me Uncle Xuanji."

“Your father and I have a life-or-death bond, there’s no need to be so formal.”

"Yes, Uncle Xuanji." Dai Hao quickly corrected himself, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

Xuanji Douluo nodded, glanced around, and lowered his voice: "Come on, let's go inside and talk. It's important."

Dai Hao's heart skipped a beat. Judging from his expression, he knew that things were definitely not simple.

He dared not delay and quickly led Xuanji Douluo towards the study, not forgetting to instruct the servants not to allow anyone to approach within a hundred paces of the study.

Inside the study, the doors and windows were tightly closed.

Xuanji Douluo first released his soul power and carefully examined the surroundings. After confirming that there was no sign of eavesdropping, he slowly turned around and looked at Dai Hao, who had a solemn expression.

"Dai Hao, what I'm about to say is of great importance. You must remember every word and never tell anyone." Xuanji Douluo's tone was extremely serious, and his aura became heavy.

Dai Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly straightened his back and nodded solemnly: "Uncle Xuanji, please speak. This junior will definitely keep it in mind!"

Just as Xuanji Douluo was about to speak and reveal that earth-shattering secret, his brows suddenly furrowed, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes.

A terrifying pressure from a Title Douluo instantly erupted, like an invisible giant net, enveloping the entire study!
"Who goes there?!" he shouted sharply, his gaze fixed on the beam in the study, his killing intent palpable. "You cowardly little rat, daring to eavesdrop here! Get out here!"

Dai Hao was also startled and quickly followed his gaze.

A familiar figure leaped lightly from the beam and landed steadily on the ground.

Upon seeing that face, Dai Hao was taken aback at first, then quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands to Xuanji Douluo, saying, "Uncle Xuanji, it's a misunderstanding! We're all on the same side! This is Tang San, from Shrek Academy, one of us!"

"Then we should kill them even more."

Tang San:?
