The next day!
Cai Yue'er looked at the teachers before her and pursed her thin lips before speaking, "Teachers of Shrek Academy, I have called you all here today to discuss a matter!"
"After being defeated by our academy's second-year students in a match, up to three teachers from Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy launched an attack on them, almost leading to their demise!"
Upon hearing this, the teachers all showed expressions of disbelief. "What? I thought although there was some distance between Shrek Academy and Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy, I never expected them to stoop to such shameful actions!"
"That's right, they have utterly disgraced their entire academy. But since they dared to make a move, there must be someone turning a blind eye. We must seek justice for our students!"
"Although Shrek Academy has suffered heavy damages, it is not a place that just anyone can provoke. If Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy cannot give a satisfactory response, then there's no need for mercy!"
To think Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy would dare to provoke Shrek Academy—it's simply courting death!
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly. "As all of you have said, this incident has received the highest attention from Sea God's Pavilion. A final ultimatum was issued a few days ago, but up to now, we have not received any response!"
"Thus, Sea God's Pavilion has decided, if Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy chooses to shield the perpetrators, we will not hesitate to bring about their downfall!"
In her words, there was a heavy sense of deadly earnest...
Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi were both genius students of Shrek Academy, and the latter was even her disciple!
Having always regretted not guiding her properly, there was a constant feeling of guilt in her!
And now, facing such a situation, she absolutely could not ignore it!
This statement caused a change in the expressions of all the teachers...
Yet none showed any sign of fear!
Cai Yue'er took a deep breath and said loudly, "Now, all teachers present, follow me to Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!"
From below came a chorus of determined shouts, "Yes, Academy President Cai!"
Immediately after, Cai Yue'er led the teachers towards the direction of Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy...
Atop the Sea God's Pavilion!
Watching Cai Yue'er and her party depart, Ya Li said worriedly, "Yun Ming, are we really going to destroy Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy?"
Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy was more than just an educational institution; it was a symbol!
To bring about its downfall, who knows what kind of enmity it might incur!
Yun Ming's deep eyes glanced at her and said evenly, "Ya Li, you have seen the people sent by Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy, haven't you? They tried to exchange some trivial items for the academy's forgiveness—showing no sincerity whatsoever!"
"Furthermore, I sensed a subtle evil presence from them!"
Ya Li's beautiful eyes suddenly tightened, "So… you suspect Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy has also made contact with the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Yun Ming softly "Hmm" in response.
First the Spirit Pagoda, now Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!
With even these major powers progressively falling under the sway of the Holy Spirit Cult, it's hard to imagine how many forces have joined them in the shadows!
For Shrek Academy, this is definitely not good news!
Ya Li pondered with her chin propped, "If that's the case… then maybe that legion that has risen recently is also related to the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Yun Ming looked puzzled, "Legion?"
The command of a legion would at most be a Soul Douluo or a Soul Sage. The Holy Spirit Cult shouldn't be interested in that, right?
Seemingly seeing through his confusion, Ya Li explained, "This legion isn't like the others; it has grown to tens of thousands in just a few weeks. Moreover, it's rumored that there are at least five Hyper Douluo level powerhouses, and the legion commander is even an Ultimate Douluo!"
If it wasn't for the Holy Spirit Cult aiding them from the shadows, it would be hard to imagine where all these powerhouses could have come from!
No matter when, Hyper Douluos and Ultimate Douluos are always the strong forces of the Continent, and the salary they receive from joining any power far exceeds that of establishing a legion!
Yun Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, "If you put it that way, it's indeed very suspicious. Notify the other Elders immediately and have them investigate!"
If it weren't for his duty to guard the Academy, he would have liked to personally check out the legitimacy of this legion!
Seeing this, Ya Li nodded imperceptibly and agreed with a soft "Hmm."
...
The Spirit Pagoda!
A man who bore a striking seven to eight parts resemblance to Qiangugu Dongfeng looked with his calm gaze towards Leng Yaozhu, who was sitting before him...
In a complex tone, he said, "Leng Yaozhu, I didn't expect that you would become the new master of the Spirit Pagoda!!"
But there was not a trace of surprise in his words...
Because all the Council Members, including the Pagoda Master, had fallen, and the only one qualified to inherit the Pagoda Master's position was Leng Yaozhu!
Leng Yaozhu's eyes focused sharply, "Qiangu Qingfeng, how come you've returned?"
Qiangugu Dongfeng!
This man was an accident of the Spirit Pagoda!
Not only a former Pagoda Master but also a former Council Member!
It could be said that his qualifications far exceeded her own!
Qiangu Qingfeng smiled faintly, "I just came back to see that younger brother of mine, but since he has fallen already... well, that's that."
The relationship between him and Qiangugu Dongfeng was actually not very good, but blood was thicker than water after all!
After speaking, he turned to leave...
Leng Yaozhu quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, "Wait! Qiangu... former Pagoda Master, if you wish to return to the Spirit Pagoda, I can step down from the Pagoda Master's position!"
She had always doubted whether she was qualified to be the Pagoda Master, and now with Qiangu Qingfeng's return, it truly seemed to be a better choice!
Qiangu Qingfeng stopped in his tracks, somewhat surprised, "Step down from the Pagoda Master's position? The Spirit Pagoda's prestige is no longer what it used to be; stepping down so soon after assuming office would demoralize the entire Spirit Pagoda!"
"As for me, I have long lost any desire for the position of Pagoda Master, otherwise why would I have let him take that seat! You should take on the responsibility of the Pagoda Master properly!"
Leng Yaozhu bit her lip, "But former Pagoda Master... I..."
Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head, "No need to say it, I will not agree to this matter!"
However, Leng Yaozhu spoke up, "No, you misunderstand, what I mean is, I would like to invite you as the Spirit Pagoda's master! To take up the position as the leader of the new Thirty-Six Council Members!"
Qiangu Qingfeng's strength was not inferior to her own, and even somewhat stronger than Qiangugu Dongfeng!
If he could be persuaded to return to the Holy Spirit Cult, it would certainly stabilize their power quite a bit!
Qiangu Qingfeng was stunned, not expecting the Leng Yaozhu, who just wanted to relinquish her position as Pagoda Master, to change her attitude so quickly!
After his lips curved into a smile, he chuckled, "You are as interesting as ever! Well then... why would it be difficult for me to agree?"
He wanted to see how the Spirit Pagoda would develop under her hands!
