The two hurried along and soon arrived at the main reception hall of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
This main reception hall was decorated quite lavishly and grandly, with dazzling crystal chandeliers emitting a soft light, exquisite murals hanging on the walls, and luxurious carpets covering the floor.
When they arrived, a large group of people had already gathered there.
There were teachers from their Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all with solemn expressions.
There were also some staff members, busily preparing for the reception, and the whole scene was bustling with activity.
Qian Renshang, his face grim, looked closely and indeed found that the two middle-aged men leading the group were none other than Yu Xiaogang and Flander.
Yu Xiaogang was composed, his eyes revealing depth and wisdom, while Flander was bold and cheerful.
Behind them stood the Shrek Seven Devils. Tang San's face was resolute, his eyes sparkling with confidence; Xiao Wu was charming and cute, her face beaming with a joyful smile.
Dai Mubai stood tall and imposing, exuding domineering presence; Zhu Zhuqing was stunningly beautiful, yet unable to hide her excitement.
Oscar smiled broadly, holding a homemade sausage in his hand; Ma Hongjun's chubby face was full of anticipation; Ning Rongrong stood there elegantly, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
Each of them wore an excited smile, as if filled with anticipation and excitement for what was to come.
However, there was also someone Qian Renshang often saw:
Qin Ming, the youngest six-ring Soul Emperor, who was also there, seemingly helping Shrek Academy with communications.
"Heh...it really is Shrek Academy!"
Qian Renshang curled his lip, somewhat speechless.
He hadn't expected Shrek Academy to arrive at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy ahead of schedule.
Logically, they should have waited another six months or so.
Was their early arrival due to him? Or was there some other reason?
In fact, Qian Renshang was right.
He first dealt a heavy blow to Shrek Academy by killing Zhao Wuji, a seven-ring Soul Saint, since Shrek Academy didn't have many people to begin with.
Then Gu Yuena severely injured everyone at Shrek Academy, causing them all to be unable to recover in a short time.
As a result, Shrek Academy was almost brought to a standstill.
After careful consideration, Flander and Yu Xiaogang decided to "borrow a chicken to lay eggs" at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Qian Renshang narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly walked into the main hall.
His gaze casually swept over everyone, quickly meeting Dai Mubai's eyes.
The latter's expression instantly changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "It's him...it was this guy who injured me and my teacher that day!"
Dai Mubai would never forget Qian Renshang's face; this guy had cast a huge shadow over him, this guy had actually trampled him underfoot!
Dai Mubai's voice echoed in the main hall, and everyone's eyes turned to Qian Renshang, the atmosphere suddenly becoming tense.
All the Shrek Seven Devils looked at Qian Renshang, their eyes filled with surprise and anger.
Flander stepped forward, his face gloomy, and questioned, "Is it really this person?"
Flander naturally understood what Dai Mubai was referring to!
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and answered, "That's right, it's him! I'll never forget him, even if I die!"
Flander shouted "Good!" several times, veins bulging on his forehead, and glared angrily at Qian Renshang, saying hatefully, "I never thought we'd run into each other here!"
Flander's eyes widened, and he angrily questioned Qian Renshang, "Where is Zhao Wuji?
Why hasn't he come back yet?"
His voice was full of anxiety and anger; this matter had been weighing on his heart like a heavy stone.
Flander frowned, then said, "Zhao Wuji was a seven-ring Soul Saint! I sent him to capture you, but he's been missing ever since.
Something terrible might have happened to him! You must give me an explanation today!"
Qian Renshang found it amusing.
A mocking smile played on his lips as he said, "How ridiculous!
Why do you, Flander, act so self-righteous?
You summoned Zhao Wuji to hunt me down, so am I supposed to obediently follow him back?
That's wishful thinking!"
Qian Renshang remained expressionless, stating bluntly, "Zhao Wuji is dead."
His voice was cold and unwavering, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.
Flander's face turned deathly pale.
He roared in disbelief, "How could this be!
Who killed him?"
His eyes widened, his body trembling slightly with anger and shock.
Qian Renshang looked at Flander as if he were a fool, saying with utter disdain, "Of course, it was me."
His eyes were filled with contempt and provocation, as if mocking Flander's ignorance.
Qian Renshang dared to admit his actions; he was the one who killed him, so there was no need for him to deny it!
"What?...This...this is impossible!
You're just a five-ring Soul King!"
Flander exclaimed in disbelief, thinking that Qian Renshang had likely used some kind of scheme to defeat Zhao Wuji.
Qian Renshang didn't even bother to argue.
Meng Shenji, standing to the side, was completely confused, but he roughly understood that Qian Renshang seemed to have some kind of conflict with the Shrek Academy group.
"What exactly happened?"
Meng Shenji asked with a grim face, and Flander also spoke with a dark expression.
"Commissioner Meng Shenji, you've come at the right time...I want to accuse your student of using a scheme to kill one of my Shrek Academy's seven-ring Soul Saint level teachers!"
As soon as Flander said this, everyone in the room was astonished.
They all turned to look at Qian Renshang; killing a Soul Saint was no small crime.
Every Soul Saint is a strategic resource!
Flander was smug. He thought Qian Renshang was just an ordinary student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so what if he was a genius?
He, Flander, was a Soul Saint, and Tang San and the others were all top-notch geniuses.
He believed that Meng Shenji and the others would make the right decision.
"Commissioner Meng Shenji, Commissioner Bai Baoshan... and Commissioner Zhilin, please come with me to take down this scoundrel."
"As long as we kill him, the entire Shrek Academy can be merged into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, without any conditions."
Flander looked at Qian Renshang with murderous intent, but Meng Shenji ignored Flander's words.
He stepped in front of Qian Renshang and asked with concern,
"Little guy, what's going on... tell me the truth."
Flander was a little confused.
This was different from what he expected.
Why did Meng Shenji seem to care so much about Qian Renshang's feelings?
He sensed something was wrong.
"There might be trouble..."
Tang San, who was behind him, also noticed something and his expression darkened.
Qian Renshang naturally told Meng Shenji the whole story, including why he had clashed with Shrek Academy and how Shrek Academy had hunted him down.
Not only that, Qian Renshang spoke loudly, as if he wanted everyone present to hear.
