Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

The following day, a bombshell announcement exploded across the Douluo Continent like a thunderclap, plunging all the powers on the continent into a deathly silence—

The Shrek Academy elder, Xuanzi, is actually a long-time, hidden Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult!
The moment the news reached Shrek Academy, the elders in the council hall nearly fainted.

"Old Song! Old Song, hang in there!"

"Mother! Don't scare us!"

Seeing Old Song swaying precariously, her face as pale as paper, several elders rushed forward to support her, fearing that she might do something rash and follow in Old Mu's footsteps.

At this moment, their mood was no better than Old Song's.

No one could have imagined that the Taotie Douluo, who usually stood shoulder to shoulder with Elder Mu and seemed calm and reliable, actually had such a trump card hidden in his heart!
He had been lurking in Shrek Academy for so many years, deceiving Moon, deceiving everyone, and causing the deaths of countless children from the academy.

What's even more infuriating is that those ridiculous actions that later drove Old Master Mu to the brink of exhaustion were probably orchestrated by him and Yan Shaozhe in tandem!
Old Song's fingers clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms. She suddenly raised her head, her voice hoarse as if sandpaper was being rubbed together: "Quick! Go and bring Yan Shaozhe here!"

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Xuanzi was hiding so well; could Yan Shaozhe also be a spy planted by the Holy Spirit Cult?!

The elders dared not neglect him, and a moment later, Yan Shaozhe was "invited" to the council hall, looking completely bewildered.

Looking at the somber atmosphere in the room, and at Old Song's eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, his heart skipped a beat. Confused, he asked, "Old Song, you wanted to see me? What happened?"

"Yan Shaozhe!" Old Song's gaze was like an ice-cold knife, fixed on him, as if trying to see through him inside and out. "Do you know Xuanzi's hidden identity?"

Yan Shaozhe frowned, looking bewildered: "Elder Xuan's hidden identity? Isn't he just one of the elders of our academy?"

Old Song was so angry he was trembling. He grabbed a piece of intelligence from the table and slammed it down in front of him: "Look for yourself!"

Yan Shaozhe picked up the intelligence report with a puzzled look and read it word by word.

At first, his expression was somewhat casual, but the more he looked down, the paler his face became, and the fingers holding the intelligence began to tremble uncontrollably.

In the end, he was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Old Song, his lips moving, before finally managing to squeeze out an incredulous sentence: "Old Song... tell me, this can't be true, can it?"

"What do you think?" Old Song's voice was filled with desperate anger. "He declared himself the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect right in front of the Star Luo Empire's Title Douluos! Could it be a lie? The assassination attempt on Xu Jiawei was a lie? Are all the Title Douluos of Star Luo blind?!"

She slammed her hand on the table, her gaze sharp as a sword: "I now strongly suspect that you are also an undercover agent sent by the Holy Spirit Cult!"

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the council chamber froze.

The elders' gazes toward Yan Shaozhe instantly filled with vigilance and murderous intent.

Yes, when you think about it that way, everything makes sense!

Xuanzi caused so much trouble, and Yan Shaozhe just happened to cooperate "perfectly" at those crucial moments. Old Master Mu's death was probably a carefully orchestrated scheme by these two!

"Elder Song! I'm innocent!" Yan Shaozhe was terrified and hurriedly waved his hands to protest, "How could I possibly be a spy for the Holy Spirit Cult? My identity is clean! Apart from my ancestor being Long Xiaoyao, I was born a member of Shrek Academy and will die a member of Shrek Academy!"

"I cannot ascertain your innocence at this time." Old Song closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and ordered, word by word, "Men! Keep an eye on him! From now on, he is not allowed to leave the council hall! Anyone who dares to make the slightest move will be killed without exception!"

"Yes!"

Two elders immediately stepped forward, standing guard on either side of Yan Shaozhe, their eyes practically radiating murderous intent.

Yan Shaozhe was on the verge of tears, and could only watch helplessly as he was placed under house arrest as a traitor.

Xuanzi's death, far from calming the storm, pushed the whole affair in an even more bizarre direction. Yan Shaozhe, a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy, became the prime suspect and was thrust into the spotlight.

This earth-shattering change has long been beyond everyone's control.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside the council chamber.

Mo Yan returned with Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and others, followed by the stern-faced Shattered Star Douluo.

Upon hearing the news, Elder Song rushed out almost instantly. But when she saw who it was, she was stunned—the group was sparsely populated, with only five people including Mo Yan.

"Why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?" Old Song's voice trembled. Apart from Tang San and Bei Bei, those two brainwashed guys, there were clearly quite a few other people in the reserve team!

"Oh, it's Old Song." Mo Yan greeted him lazily, his tone carrying a hint of casual sarcasm. "They've all run away, haven't they?"

It must be said that Xuanzi, this Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, has truly succeeded.

One sentence left Old Song speechless.

Yes, with Xuanzi's identity exposed, Shrek Academy's reputation plummeted, and it's no wonder that the participating students ran away.

The students and staff currently at Shrek Academy are unaware of this. If they did, would they all choose to run away...?

Old Song's lips twitched, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. He was about to ask how to resolve the mess at hand when Mo Yan raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Let's talk about this inside." Mo Yan glanced at the Shattered Star Douluo behind him and raised an eyebrow. "There are still guests here."

Shattered Star Douluo's gaze swept across the gates of Shrek Academy, his eyes filled with undisguised scrutiny and coldness.

He was sent by the Star Luo Empire, and his purpose was to demand an explanation.

Old Song snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, please come in! Shattered Star Douluo has come from afar, you must have had a long journey!"

She dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly led everyone toward the Golden Tree Council Hall.

But Old Song's steps were unusually heavy.

She knew very well that once this door was opened, Shrek Academy would face an even more difficult struggle.

The Star Luo Empire's questioning, the mess left by the Holy Spirit Cult, the defection of students, and the suspicion surrounding Yan Shaozhe's undercover work... and the Sun Moon Empire's declaration of war!
Overwhelmed by a multitude of thoughts, she could barely breathe.

Shrek Academy is truly on the verge of collapse.

On the Clear Sky Sect's side, Bai Yu, the mastermind behind everything, slowly focused his gaze on a room within the Clear Sky Sect—the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect, the place where Tang San's soul was hidden, and also the place with the most abundant fortune.

"Brother, when will we start?"

"Wait."

Hei stood by the window, speaking calmly, but his gaze was fixed on the main hall.
