At the same time that Zhongli Wu led a group of Holy Spirit Cult elders to cause trouble for Yan Shaozhe, both the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire had already learned what had happened. They now understood just how spectacularly disastrous the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe, had been.
That guy—just by himself—had managed to throw the entire continent into chaos, forcing the Holy Spirit Cult, Xingluo, and Tianhun—three forces that normally restrained each other—to the brink of all-out war!
After hearing Cheng Gang's account, Xu Jiawei almost choked on his own breath. His expression went rigid, his eyes filled with fury and regret.
They should never have asked Shrek for help. In fact, they shouldn't have had any illusions about Shrek Academy at all!Even if the one who came wasn't that infamous idiot Xuanzi, Shrek would still have found some way to stir up a mess!
Yan Shaozhe, damn you!
At that moment, Xu Jiawei desperately wished Yan Shaozhe would just die at the hands of those evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult. At least then, the cult's anger might be satisfied, and the situation wouldn't spiral even further out of control.
But he also knew—if Xingluo turned a blind eye and didn't send help, once Mu En found out, he would never forgive them.
It was a dead end either way—no matter what he chose, he was bound to offend one side completely.
After a long, heavy silence, Xu Jiawei sighed and said gravely:
"Send reinforcements to assist Yan Shaozhe. We absolutely cannot stand by and watch him die at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult."
The enshrined elders of the Xingluo Empire knew the stakes. No matter how much they hated Yan Shaozhe, they couldn't ignore this. Otherwise, not only would the Holy Spirit Cult come for them, but Shrek's people would as well.
Once Xu Jiawei gave the order, the enshrined elders wasted no time and immediately headed for the border at full speed.
The same thing happened in the Tianhun Empire.
At the emperor's request, Du Bushi personally led the Body Sect's Title Douluo to move out, all to ensure Yan Shaozhe's safety.
When this news reached Shrek Academy, Mu En was completely numb.
He couldn't understand it anymore.Had all his painstaking teaching over the past century been for nothing?Or had that damned Yan Shaozhe decided to imitate Xuanzi's recklessness and stupidity instead?Or maybe Yan Shaozhe's idiocy was hereditary—after all, he was the descendant of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao!
Mu En couldn't make sense of it. Even though he wanted to cripple Yan Shaozhe's martial soul right then and there, now was definitely not the time.
Things had gone too far. He had no other choice but to send other members of the Sea God Pavilion to provide support—to make sure there were no further casualties.
But after making that decision, Mu En finally understood something.
Yan Shaozhe wasn't brainless—on the contrary, he was too clever for his own good.He had deliberately blown the situation out of proportion so that Mu En wouldn't dare to punish him for a while!
Realizing this made Mu En even angrier.
Damn it! Why can't you use that clever brain of yours against the enemy instead of scheming against your own teacher?!If the younger generation hadn't still been in training, Mu En would've long since expelled everyone involved from the Sea God Pavilion.
He already knew what Xuanzi had done before—how, even before the Death God Envoy incident, Ning Tian had repeatedly proposed that everyone be equipped with defensive-type soul tools and had even offered to personally pay for Invincible Shields for each person.But Xuanzi had vetoed it, scaring everyone off from accepting Ning Tian's shields.
Mu En didn't even want to imagine how many outrageous, self-sabotaging decisions the members of the Sea God Pavilion had made behind his back over the years.
To avoid seeing them and getting even more disgusted, Mu En sent everyone out—leaving only two necessary members behind. Officially, it was to "better protect the students," but in truth, he just didn't want them in his sight.
Even Mu En couldn't tell if Xuanzi being absent from the war—because of the task he'd assigned him to find Immortal Herbs—was a blessing or a curse.
He could only wonder if that fool had found any trace of the Immortal Herbs at all.
"Elder Xuan, news just came in—Shrek Academy has become involved in the war between Xingluo, Tianhun, and the Holy Spirit Cult. Dean Yan even killed two Title Douluo-level evil soul masters!"
"The Holy Spirit Cult is seeking revenge—Zhongli Wu himself is leading the elders to trouble Dean Yan!"
Xuanzi, who had been happily alternating between bites of chicken leg and sips of fine wine, froze mid-chew.Suddenly, the chicken didn't taste so good anymore.
After a moment of stunned silence, his eyes widened as he looked at the Shrek outer-court teacher before him and demanded loudly:
"How is it now? Is Yan Shaozhe all right?"
The teacher shook his head slightly, still visibly shaken.
"Dean Yan was injured, but thankfully not seriously. At the crucial moment, Du Bushi and the Body Sect arrived to help drive off Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, Dean Yan would've been in grave danger."
Xuanzi snorted coldly.
"The nerve of those Holy Spirit Cult bastards! Such arrogance! They're nothing but a bunch of evil soul masters—if they don't tuck their tails between their legs, fine—but to repeatedly provoke Shrek? Outrageous!"
Hearing this, the teacher's eyes brightened as he asked eagerly:
"Elder Xuan, should we go assist Dean Yan? I heard that even though he's fine, quite a few students were badly hurt or killed by the Holy Spirit Cult."
He was clearly trying to coax Xuanzi into joining the fight.
Although Mu En hadn't said it outright, everyone accompanying Xuanzi on this "search for Immortal Herbs" knew perfectly well—they had been exiled.
With most of the outer-court students gone, these teachers had been left idle. And since they had nothing better to do, tagging along with Xuanzi seemed the only option.
Still, following Xuanzi was like walking into a dead end—finding Immortal Herbs was nearly impossible.
Better to seize this opportunity to fight the Holy Spirit Cult and prove to Mu En that they weren't useless.
When Xuanzi heard that Yan Shaozhe had nearly died at Zhongli Wu's hands, he was already itching to act.And learning that many students had been killed only fanned the flames.
He stopped hesitating, swept his gaze around at the teachers with him, and said firmly:
"Prepare to move out! We'll deal with those arrogant bastards from the Holy Spirit Cult ourselves!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, some teachers became visibly excited, eager to rush out and fight those evil soul masters right now.
But others hesitated—remembering Mu En's prior order: they weren't to involve themselves in anything else until the Immortal Herbs were found.
Seeing their uncertainty, Xuanzi didn't hesitate. He waved his hand grandly and declared:
"Mu Lao said not to return to the academy until we found the Immortal Herbs—but he never said to stand by while Shrek's students die!"
"And tell me—who understands Mu Lao better? You, or me?"
