Moreover, everyone knew that Shrek's reconstruction must have been backed by the Tang Sect. However, he could not say anything publicly. The Federation could not possibly take away Shrek's lands by force.
The original Shrek City had been around before the Federation even existed. That piece of land belonged to Shrek. If the Federation confiscated it, it would be equivalent to an invasion.
Even though Shrek was destroyed in that explosion, its influence on the continent still ran deep and wide. If the federal parliament dared to make such a brazen move, its days would be numbered.
Hence, when the Holy Spirit Cult made it clear that it would not come to destroy Shrek, Qiangu Dongfeng realized that he was quite powerless to do anything.
