Cai Yue'er pursed her thin lips. To be honest, she hadn't expected these federal teachers to have a soft spot for Shrek Academy...
When they were first assigned here, these teachers were somewhat arrogant due to the former destruction of Shrek Academy and even doubted the title of the number one academy on the Continent...
But now such a significant change had arisen, which admittedly made decisions difficult!
However, one thing was for certain, no matter what methods they used, they could not let them stay!
With this thought in mind, she took a deep breath and immediately made her decision...
With a hint of apology, she said, "I'm sorry, teachers, but this matter has been unanimously decided by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Even I have no power to change it!"
"Moreover, I still think that where you should remain is not Shrek Academy, but the federation!"
The teachers below looked at each other and could all feel each other's indignation...
But soon, they could only sigh in resignation...
Elder Cai was right. Although they had a fondness for Shrek Academy, it was not their ultimate destination!
Betray the federation and turn to join Shrek Academy?
Such an act would surely make them even less trustworthy!!
"Since the matter has been settled, our disagreement is moot," someone lamented.
"Let's leave it be. We've been at Shrek Academy for several months, and it's time to return to the federation. It's just a pity we couldn't stay!"
"Let's all prepare and get ready to leave Shrek Academy!"
Of course, there was still a group of federal teachers who were indignant, and their tone of voice was somewhat terse...
"Hmph, I think the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion in Shrek Academy simply don't trust us!"
"That's right, as if distrusting us wasn't enough, even though there was a recent improvement in our impression of Shrek Academy!!"
"Enough, enough, if we're going to leave, then let's leave as soon as possible. There's no need to waste words here!"
Soon, the federal teachers quickly dispersed, heading to the dormitory area to pack their belongings...
Witnessing all this, Cai Yue'er felt a strange sensation in her heart but did not change her stance...
Shrek Academy simply could not withstand any more losses; they had to proceed with caution!
...
Spirit Pagoda!
Inside the Council Hall!
The high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda, including the ferocious beast Di Tian, were all gathered here!
Gu Yuena, sitting in the chief seat, cast her gaze below...
Then, she spoke up, "Di Tian, you should be aware of the recent events, right?"
Di Tian nodded slightly, replying, "Yes, Pagoda Master."
The other ferocious beasts, too, nodded one after another...
The moment they returned to the Spirit Pagoda, they started to inquire and compare all the events that had occurred.
Seeing their response, Gu Yuena continued, "Yes, regarding the federation's attempt to use a God-Slaying Level soul cannonball to attack the Spirit Pagoda, I think everyone here feels indignant!"
"Because it clearly crosses the line from competition to slaughter. Keep in mind that the current Spirit Pagoda gathers over sixty percent of the Soul Masters from Soul Land!!"
"Should it be destroyed, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Soul Land!"
"Of course, fortunately, Vice Tower Master Leng took timely countermeasures, destroying the God-Slaying Level soul cannonball and saving the Spirit Pagoda!"
Having spoken, she led the applause…
With her taking the lead, the entire Council Hall erupted into fervent applause…
Sitting not far from Gu Yuena, Leng Yaozhu also stood up slowly, her expression unchanged as she said, "The Pagoda Master praises me too highly, this is merely my duty as the Vice Tower Master!"
Having said this, she then sat back down…
Gu Yuena tapped her fingertips on the table, and the high-level members of the Spirit Pagoda sitting below instantly got the hint and stopped clapping…
The Council Hall once again fell silent…
After that, Gu Yuena continued, "So, regarding the future development of the Spirit Pagoda, does anyone have any proposals?"
As soon as she finished speaking, several Branch Tower Masters began to express their suggestions…
"Pagoda Master, in my opinion, the action taken by the Federation has seriously compromised the safety of the Spirit Pagoda. To prevent further incidents, a strike against them is necessary!"
"I agree, the Federation has gone too far, they really think our Spirit Pagoda is an easy target, we can't just let this slide!"
"I concur, the current stature of the Spirit Pagoda in Soul Land is not something the Federation can match, why should we be afraid of them!"
"Well said, we should go to war with the Federation directly and eradicate them!!"
Gu Yuena, upon hearing these words, clasped her hands together and said, "Hmm, you make very valid points, this matter indeed cannot be just left as it is, but isn't it common knowledge that the Ghost Emperor has broken through to God Rank and is still alive?"
The faces of the several Branch Tower Masters who had just spoken turned unsightly in an instant…
Gu Yuena caught their expressions and continued, "It seems you are aware. With the Ghost Emperor's unique existence, if the Spirit Pagoda were to engage in war with the Federation now, we would not stand to gain any advantage!"
"It would only lead to further deterioration of the situation!"
However, despite this, there were still expressions of dissatisfaction…
"But Pagoda Master, are we supposed to just swallow this loss? This doesn't seem like the Spirit Pagoda's style!"
"Exactly, the Federation was the first to attack, what's wrong with declaring war if they've already shown their true colors?"
"Even if the Ghost Emperor has become divine, he's just one person, how much obstruction can he really bring to our Holy Spirit Cult? It's better to take out the Federation first!"
Hearing these words, Di Tian, who had been silent, shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
"It seems you don't understand the extent to which one's strength can surge after breaking through to God Rank; it's enough to obliterate any empire!"
As soon as he spoke, a terrifying oppressive aura swept over the entire hall…
Causing everyone to swallow hard and close their mouths…
At that moment, Gu Yuena spoke coldly, "Di Tian!"
Di Tian's golden pupils flickered, but he still chose to control his aura, "Sorry, Pagoda Master, I lost my composure!"
These ignorant humans, they simply don't understand the vast chasm that exists between gods and Soul Masters!
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and earnestly said, "As Di Tian has just mentioned, the Ghost Emperor, having broken through to divinity, has gained a tremendous boost in strength. Even if all the Ultimate Douluo from the entire Human Plane joined forces against him, there would be no chance of victory!"
"Moreover, the Ghost Emperor is the master of the Holy Spirit Cult, with the power to turn Soul Masters into his own kind. Now with Divine Power, he can definitely perform large-scale conversion!"
"That is to say, even if we were to obliterate the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, as long as the Ghost Emperor is alive, he could still lead countless evil Soul Masters to cause turmoil the next day!!"
In that moment, the Branch Tower Masters below also realized the seriousness of the situation…
Their anger towards the Federation gradually got suppressed by reason…
