When Zhongli Wu learned that his wife had been injured, both Saintesses were also wounded to varying degrees, and that the Holy Spirit Sect members who participated in this battle had been completely annihilated—with even two Title Douluo surrounded and killed—he instantly flew into a rage.
"Damn bastard! Yan Shaozhe, that fool—does he have a death wish!?"
Zhongli Wu slammed his hand on the table, immediately ordering treatment for Feng Ling, Ma Xiaotao, and Tang Ya. Once that was arranged, he gathered all the Title Douluo-level experts of the Holy Spirit Sect, ready to personally lead them to slaughter Yan Shaozhe.
Even the Holy Spirit Sect knew how to restrain themselves—they'd deliberately avoided escalating matters into an all-out war with the Star Luo and Heavenly Soul Empires.
But that bastard Yan Shaozhe? The moment he made a move, he caused this kind of mess! Did he really think the Holy Spirit Sect couldn't destroy Shrek Academy!?
Just as Zhongli Wu was fuming and preparing for revenge, Ye Xishui suddenly appeared. Looking at him with calm eyes, she said flatly,
"How many times have I taught you—no matter what happens, you must stay calm. Why are you still making such a childish mistake?"
Zhongli Wu nearly blacked out. He truly couldn't understand how his own mother could say something like that! She, of all people—the most impulsive and reckless of them all—was now standing there lecturing him about calmness? What a joke!
But Zhongli Wu had no interest in arguing with her right now. He stared at Ye Xishui and said in a deep, cold tone,
"Yan Shaozhe's actions crossed the line. He must pay the price! Everyone must understand—only the Holy Spirit Sect gets to ignore the rules. Anyone who dares to break the rules against us will learn what true consequences mean!"
Hearing this, Ye Xishui swept her gaze around before replying curtly,
"Enough. This ends here."
Zhongli Wu froze, then widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Why!? Why must it end here!?"
He couldn't comprehend it. Back when the Sun Moon Empire sent troops to rescue civilians from the Douling Empire, Ye Xishui had been furious—ready to storm Mingdu alongside Long Xiaoyao!
But now, Shrek Academy had trampled the Holy Spirit Sect's dignity into the dirt and even killed two Title Douluo, yet she just brushed it off with a "this ends here"?
What kind of joke was that!?
Not only Zhongli Wu—even the other Title Douluo present looked at Ye Xishui with stunned faces. They wanted to know what in the world had caused this overbearing Supreme Elder to make such a decision.
Of course, Ye Xishui couldn't tell them the truth. Her expression only grew colder as she said,
"Now is not the time for a full-scale war with Shrek Academy. If we kill Yan Shaozhe now, that old man Mu En will lose his mind."
It was a reason, sure—but hardly convincing.
Just thinking about how his wife had been attacked by Yan Shaozhe's people made Zhongli Wu's blood boil even more.
"So we're just going to let Yan Shaozhe go? He led people to slaughter members of the Holy Spirit Sect, and that's it? Tell me—who's the real Evil Soul Master here, them or us? Are we supposed to fear Shrek more than they fear us?"
His words resonated deeply with the gathered elders.
One of the biggest reasons they became Evil Soul Masters in the first place was for freedom—the ability to act without restraint.
If they had to keep tiptoeing around others, what was the point?
Thinking of this, many of them began urging Ye Xishui to reconsider, promising that if they acted now, they would kill Yan Shaozhe and the Title Douluo of Star Luo and Heavenly Soul as well—making the entire continent tremble before the Holy Spirit Sect.
But as they spoke, Ye Xishui's expression grew colder and colder.
Finally, with a snort, the aura of an Ultimate Douluo burst from her body as she snapped,
"I said this ends here! Whoever dares disobey me—step forward and say it!"
At once, the hall fell into dead silence. The elders stared at the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Only Zhongli Wu still dared to risk her wrath—for his wife, Feng Ling.
"Since the Supreme Elder refuses to intervene, then I swear I won't drag you into this! Whatever happens, I'll bear all the consequences myself!"
Ye Xishui's eyes turned icy as she glared at him. What surprised her was that, unlike before, Zhongli Wu didn't back down this time. He met her gaze head-on, utterly determined to lead the Holy Spirit Sect's elders against Yan Shaozhe.
Her anger flared—but deep down, she couldn't help but sigh.
Things had gone too far. If she continued stopping him, others might start to suspect something. And if Yan Shaozhe's true identity were exposed because of her, that would be disastrous for Ye Xishui.
When it's time to cut ties, she never hesitates—that's Ye Xishui's nature.
Having made her decision, she no longer tried to stop him. She turned to leave, her voice indifferent and devoid of emotion.
"Go if you want."
Though she didn't want Yan Shaozhe to die, compared to his life, her own ambitions were clearly more important.
With Ye Xishui's permission, Zhongli Wu and the elders no longer held back. Under his command, they set off toward the border shared by Star Luo, Heavenly Soul, and Douling Empires.
Upon learning of this, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya immediately reported back to Huo Yuhao, informing him that their mission was complete.
Huo Yuhao praised them generously, making them beam with pride—and even more eager for his next order.
Tang Ya sighed regretfully.
"It's a pity we couldn't absorb Beibei's life force and soul power this time. If we had, Zhongli Wu wouldn't even need to provoke a war—Shrek Academy would've started one against the Holy Spirit Sect themselves."
Huo Yuhao shook his head calmly.
"There's no need to rush. With Zhongli Wu and Yan Shaozhe's tempers, this war has only just begun."
"From here on, you two don't need to take any further action. Just wait patiently—they'll start tearing at each other soon enough, and things will escalate again."
After ending the communication, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Shrek… is still Shrek. Nothing has changed.
Just like during the previous Soul Master Tournament—he had merely given them a little nudge, and their own actions had caused the collapse of the Shrek Academy that had stood gloriously for ten thousand years, bringing about its utter disgrace.
And now, it was happening again.
Yan Shaozhe's reckless actions had already become the spark that would ignite a full-scale war between the Holy Spirit Sect and Shrek Academy. Whether or not he survived the coming battle, the war between them was already inevitable.
Most importantly, even if both sides later wanted to de-escalate and rest, with Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya—those two undercover Saintesses—among them, peace would never be possible.
After all, Tang Ya had long been looking for an opportunity to use her Dark Blue Silver Grass to devour Beibei, who possessed the Bright Holy Dragon martial soul, and Xu Sanshi, who had already evolved into a Xuanwu!
