South of Heaven Dou City, at the former Strength Clan's base, was the Tang Sect, currently under construction.
At this moment, the Tang Sect was surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, including hundreds of Soul Masters, presenting an extremely formidable sight.
An Elder of the Strength Clan roared, "Who exactly are you people? Why are you attacking our Strength Clan?"
Leading all the surrounding Soul Masters was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious robes and appearing incredibly noble, suggesting a certain status within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
This man shouted, "Bold Strength Clan! You dare to secretly manufacture weapons of mass destruction in Heaven Dou City, intending to overthrow our Heaven Dou Imperial Family! The evidence is conclusive! By order of the Crown Prince, all personnel of the Strength Clan are to be annihilated as a warning to others."
Both the surrounding Soul Masters and the army were exceptionally enraged at this moment. "Kill the Strength Clan traitors! Kill the Strength Clan traitors!"
From their demeanor, they clearly detested such treacherous individuals, unable to believe that someone would dare to secretly manufacture weapons within Heaven Dou City with malicious intent.
Countless personnel completely surrounded the Strength Clan, and under the leadership of a large number of Soul Masters, launched a fierce assault on the entire Strength Clan.
The Strength Clan had recently been busy building Tang San's Zhuge Divine Crossbow, so it seemed the Heaven Dou Imperial Family wasn't entirely wrong.
However, the Strength Clan was a Soul Master family after all, with two to three hundred Soul Masters within the family, including many Advanced Soul Masters.
Unfortunately, Xue Qinghe seemed to have been prepared. Not only did he dispatch several Soul Douluo, but also hundreds of Soul Masters directly under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, clearly intending to completely eradicate the Strength Clan.
...
At Shrek Academy, the entire academy was also surrounded by troops at this moment. There were also a large number of Soul Masters among them, though it was unclear if these Soul Masters were directly under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or secretly dispatched by the Spirit Hall.
At this moment, Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji stood directly at the academy entrance, with the top Soul Douluo, Zhao Wuji, in the very center.
Flander's expression was solemn. "What exactly do you want? We are a legal and compliant Advanced Soul Master Academy. Even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family cannot attack us."
The leader of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family personnel roared, "Dean Flander, although you are a legal Advanced Soul Master Academy, you have privately harbored a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast, opposing our human race. We hope you will immediately hand over the hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast and surrender. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Furthermore, we sternly warn all teachers and students of Shrek Academy not to resist stubbornly. Otherwise, you will face severe punishment from the Empire."
"Of course, if any teachers or students are willing to surrender voluntarily and report, we can consider your ignorance and deception and will not pursue the matter further."
At this moment, many teachers and students of Shrek Academy exchanged bewildered glances. They had originally just come to Shrek Academy to teach or study, and they certainly didn't dare to oppose the Heaven Dou Imperial Family over such a baseless matter.
Yu Xiaogang appeared exceptionally angry. "Don't be unreasonable! Xiao Wu is a student of our Shrek Academy, and she is a classmate to all of you. I will not allow anyone to harm Xiao Wu."
Zhao Wuji, standing beside him, had eyes filled with Killing Intent. His Soul Douluo soul power appeared incredibly formidable, making people extremely wary.
But the leader of the Heaven Dou Empire personnel showed no fear. "Flander, considering you were deceived by the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, we can let bygones be bygones, but you must hand over the hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast. Otherwise, our Heaven Dou Imperial Family will not tolerate you."
"You have five minutes to consider. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. In addition, all teachers and students also have five minutes. After the time is up, you will likewise bear the consequences."
As the person's words fell, the teachers and students of Shrek once again fell into chaos. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family clearly held the moral high ground, making it impossible to refute them.
Some teachers and students who were originally timid seemed unable to bear the pressure from the countless Soul Masters and soldiers before them and began to complain.
"Xiao Wu isn't our classmate. We have nothing to do with a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast."
"I just want to go to school. What does this have to do with us?"
"I'm just an ordinary person, just an ordinary student. I don't understand these grand principles of yours."
...
As time passed, the entire Shrek Academy seemed to be falling apart. After all, for many people, they didn't have a deep friendship with Xiao Wu, or even with the entire Shrek Academy. They just wanted to come and study.
Immediately, under the gaze of the crowd, some people gradually began to walk out of Shrek Academy, seemingly completely disregarding Flander's disappointed expression.
In recent years, Shrek Academy had basically been changing according to Flander's vision.
Compared to other Advanced Soul Master Academies, Shrek Academy's admission standards were slightly higher. The difference was that Shrek Academy recruited ordinary civilian students, and the teaching in all aspects was quite good.
Unfortunately, the gap between Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and even Liu Erlong and the ordinary students was too great. They simply couldn't communicate seriously with every student, let alone gain the desperate support of every student.
And now, as the first person left, many teachers and students followed suit and left Shrek Academy.
As they said, they were just ordinary people and didn't want to, nor could they, have any connection with a 100,000-year Soul Beast.
Just at this moment, a terrifying Soul Power suddenly erupted from the backyard of Shrek Academy, as if top experts were fighting. In particular, a fiery red giant dragon appeared, its massive roar echoing through the heavens and earth, emitting endless flames around its body.
Flander's face instantly changed drastically: "Not good, someone is attacking our backyard. Erlong seems to be fighting someone."
Yu Xiaogang's face also changed instantly. For Liu Erlong to be so angry, the enemy opposite was probably not simple.
But before the two of them could leave, the leader of the group surrounding Shrek Academy spoke out boldly: "Flander, what are you trying to do? You dare to disregard the orders of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Since that's the case, all Shrek personnel are to be captured on the spot. If there is any resistance, they will be killed on the spot."
But neither Yu Xiaogang nor Flander could care about so much at this moment and quickly ran back to Shrek Academy.
Seeing everyone surrounding them, Zhao Wuji roared angrily and instantly transformed into a giant Vajra Bear, simultaneously displaying two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings.
"If you want to break into Shrek Academy, you'll have to get past me first."
Regardless of whether it was the Heaven Dou Empire army or the Soul Master legion, they completely ignored what Zhao Wuji said and began to launch a fierce attack on Shrek Academy.
When Flander and Yu Xiaogang arrived at the back of Shrek Academy, the scene was incredibly tragic at this moment, as if it was filled with flames everywhere.
And Liu Erlong was spitting Blood, clearly not lightly injured.
Opposite them was a mysterious-looking Black Clothes person. This person was dressed in Black Clothes from head to toe and emitted a black aura.
Xiao Wu had already fainted at this moment and was directly grabbed by this person.
Yu Xiaogang was instantly furious. He never expected that his student Tang San had arranged for Xiao Wu to stay at Shrek Academy, only for her to be captured. How was he going to explain this to his most proud student?
"Who are you? You dare to trespass into our Shrek Academy. Aren't you afraid of the Clear Sky Sect's retaliation?"
This expert who captured Xiao Wu was none other than the Spirit Hall's Ghost Leopard Douluo.
Ghost Leopard Douluo snorted coldly: "Just a mere Soul Greatmaster waste. Who gave you the guts to be presumptuous in front of me? You're simply courting death."
As Ghost Leopard Douluo's Titled Douluo aura was unleashed, even Flander and Liu Erlong felt immense pressure. As for Yu Xiaogang, his entire body was directly Quaked back several meters by the Titled Douluo's aura.
Liu Erlong quickly said: "Xiaogang, be careful. This person is a Titled Douluo."
Ghost Leopard Douluo just snorted coldly and instantly transformed into a giant Underworld Ghost Leopard, simultaneously displaying two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings. The strength of a Titled Douluo was fully displayed.
Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong quickly exchanged glances. Soon, the three of them gathered together and all roared loudly.
"Sun and Moon Shine, Golden Brick!"
Their Martial Souls instantly began to fuse, forming a giant Golden Holy Dragon, directly blocking the area around Ghost Leopard Douluo.
This was their Three-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which possessed Titled Douluo level combat power after use.
Seeing Ghost Leopard Douluo snort coldly, his Seventh Soul Ring instantly flashed. A giant Underworld Ghost Leopard collided with the Golden Holy Dragon. Even though Yu Xiaogang and the other two used all their strength, the giant Golden Holy Dragon could not truly contend with a real Titled Douluo.
Immediately after, Ghost Leopard Douluo's figure flickered, and he quickly left the area like a black shadow. Even Yu Xiaogang and the others could only follow closely behind him, completely unable to catch up.
Ghost Leopard Douluo was a speed-type Titled Douluo, not only mysterious but also extremely fast, something Yu Xiaogang and the other two couldn't compare to at all.
And Ghost Leopard Douluo's direction was the Imperial Palace; capturing the hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast was his true objective.
However, Shrek Academy only had Zhao Wuji holding the fort, completely unable to protect the remaining teachers and students. Soon, the entire academy was occupied by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family army that was besieging it. All students and teachers were either captured on the spot, surrendered, or left directly. The entire Shrek Academy seemed to fall apart.
And the Heaven Dou Imperial Family army seemed to have targeted Shrek Academy long ago, sending multiple Soul Douluo to besiege Zhao Wuji, causing Zhao Wuji to be overwhelmed.
Moreover, Zhao Wuji was relatively reckless, only caring about fighting others and completely unable to control the overall situation.
Above the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace square, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe stood alone in the center of the square, surrounded by a large number of guards.
Ghost Leopard Douluo transformed into a ghostly shadow and arrived at the square, directly handing Xiao Wu over. Several people around instantly took firm control of Xiao Wu.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the capture of the hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast is complete."
Xue Qinghe's face was full of praise: "Very good, Elder Ghost Leopard is indeed capable."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Ghost Leopard Douluo's face: "Your Highness, this time to capture the hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast, there are a few tails behind me. They should be the Golden Iron Triangle from Shrek Academy. I'm afraid they will cause trouble in the Imperial Palace."
"Also, His Majesty the Pope had a strict order that once the hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast is successfully captured, it must be sent back to Spirit City immediately."
Xue Qinghe's expression changed: "Now is the critical moment of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. The matter of escorting the hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast to Spirit City can be discussed later. You should know the priorities."
"As for the mere Golden Iron Triangle, if they dare to force their way into the Imperial Palace, then I won't be able to keep them. At worst, I'll just kill them directly."
Ghost Leopard Douluo quickly said: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Pope has ordered that we should not easily attack the Golden Iron Triangle, otherwise it might cause other troubles."
Xue Qinghe snorted coldly: "Don't I know what that woman is thinking? What trouble will killing three pieces of trash bring? In her eyes, is the overall situation of Spirit Hall not as important as her personal selfishness?"
