Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 455: Controlling the Temple of War, the Federation's Youngest Member of Parliament.
"Yue'er!"

The next moment, Chen Xinjie seemed to realize something, his expression immediately tightened, and he instantly went to the messenger and asked:
"How is Shrek Academy doing?"

This question also reflects the sentiments of many federal congressmen, after all, they are graduates of Shrek Academy!
"According to the news... Shrek Academy is destroyed..."

"Dead?" Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the federal congressmen changed.

But some of it brought sorrow, while others brought a touch of excitement and joy.

Shrek Academy's influence on the Federation is considerable; even members of Congress who graduate from Shrek Academy and enter the Federation automatically band together as a group of students, forming a sizable community.

They can even influence federal policies and direction to some extent!
If Shrek Academy perishes, then such groups will gradually disappear in the future, and more importantly...

If Shrek Academy perishes, then Shrek City, a major city that has been out of Federation control for thousands of years, will return to Federation administration!
Pan Wen also clearly thought of this, and his breathing became a little rapid.

After all, every Federal Speaker dreams of conquering Shrek City. If he can do it, his name will be recorded in history!

Chen Xinjie didn't care about these things at the moment, and continued to ask, "Didn't anyone from Shrek Academy escape?"

"There is... it seems that the Light and Dark Douluos of the Sea God Pavilion ran away before the God-Slaying Fixed-Motion Soul Guidance Cannonball landed... a strategic retreat..."

The messenger quickly added, even embellishing the story a bit.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie instantly relaxed a bit.

"Immediately dispatch troops to aid Shrek City and investigate how the God-Slaying Fixed-Motion Soul-Guided Cannonball was stolen!"

Pan Wen immediately gave the order, already seeing the credit beckoning to him.

After learning that Long Yeyue was alright, Chen Xinjie returned to his position as the head of the military and breathed a sigh of relief.

But as the conference room door closed, the atmosphere changed completely.

"Chen Xinjie, two God-Slaying fixed-position soul-guided missiles that the Federation prepared to deal with the Abyss Plane have been lost under your command. What explanation do you have?"

"And this is very likely a mistake caused by your seclusion during your tenure! You must take responsibility for your actions!"

Dong Zian looked coldly at Chen Xinjie and said in an icy tone.

He then slowly stood up:

"Chen Xinjie, it's time for you to step down!"

"you!"

Chen Xinjie's face was filled with anger, and his eyes were full of resentment.

"You have violated several federal rules and should be removed from all your posts, shouldn't you?"

Dong Zian slowly approached Chen Xinjie and looked down at Chen Xinjie, who was in the position of military leader.

“Even if I were to remove you from all your posts, it wouldn’t be your turn to be the head of the military. Even if Yu Guanzhi were to take the position, it wouldn’t be your turn!” Chen Xinjie said in a low voice.

Yu Guanzhi, who was standing to the side, was taken aback when he heard this.

Who? Me?

Then, thinking that after Chen Xinjie stepped down, it would be his turn, Yu Guanzhi's face instantly lit up with pride, and he prepared to say a few words of advice to Dong Zian.

But then Dong Zian's voice rang out again.

"Oh? Why isn't it my turn?"

“You’re not strong enough,” Chen Xinjie said coldly.

"boom!"

But as soon as Chen Xinjie finished speaking, a terrifying and magnificent aura swept out from Dong Zian, and in an instant, this aura as deep and as dark as a prison completely enveloped the entire conference room!

Dong Zi'an no longer concealed his imposing manner!

Quasi God!

Everyone present fell silent.

"Am I now qualified?"

The banners fluttered in the wind as Dong Zi'an looked down at Chen Xinjie with a calm expression.

"When did you break through?" Chen Xinjie asked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Logically speaking, with Dong Zi'an's talent, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Limit Douluo Quasi-God level. Could it be that Dong Zi'an took drugs and ate immortal herbs?
Yu Guanzhi, standing to the side, was even more shocked.

"Didn't we agree that we were all demigods, with me as the second-in-command in the military and you, Brother Dong, as the third? Why has it changed now?"

Although he was worried that Dong Zian's Western Legion was suffering too much, he didn't expect Dong Zian to be living such a good life!
"No, your foundation is too weak; you won't be able to win people's hearts!"

Chen Xinjie continued, his expression grim. He knew very well that Dong Zian, being of commoner origin, could not possibly have many allies within the Federal Legion…

"This regimental commander supports Regimental Commander Dong as the head of the military!"

At this moment, Shen Yue was the first to stand up and speak.

"I, the commander, agree!"

"The commander of the Northwest Army Corps said slowly."

"I agree."

Le Zheng'en smiled slightly. Instantly, three of the military's eight legions stood on Dong Zi'an's side.

Chen Xinjie frowned as he looked at Yu Guanzhi, wanting Yu Guanzhi to stand up and compete with Dong Zi'an.

But then Dong Zian said meaningfully, "Brother Yu, don't forget our agreement. You must help this commander at the most crucial moment."

“I…” Yu Guanzhi hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke under Chen Xinjie’s incredulous gaze:

"I, the commander, also agree."

"You!" Chen Xinjie instantly felt like a clown who had been kept in the dark.

It turns out that the confrontation between Dong Zi'an and Yu Guanzhi was fake, and it might even have been a performance deliberately put on for him!
"In that case, Commander Dong will serve as the head of the military. Does anyone have any objections?"

Pan Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and said.

He knew very well that now the timing, location, and popular support were all on Dong Zi'an's side, and he had the support of four major legions. Even Yu Guanzhi had turned against him, so there was nothing more to say.

Furthermore, he might need Dong Zian's help to subdue Shrek City, since Dong Zian has long been at odds with Shrek Academy and would definitely help him.

"Move aside, you're taking my seat."

Dong Zian patted Chen Xinjie on the shoulder and forcibly took the leader's badge from Chen Xinjie's hand.

Chen Xinjie was now nearly furious, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only get up...

But the next moment, as if he had thought of something, Chen Xinjie gritted his teeth and said, "I can resign from all my posts, but the position of Hall Master of the War God Hall must be held by Guan Yue!"

Now that he has lost his position as head of the military, he must consolidate his base of support.

The Sea God Legion would certainly obey him, so he had to keep a firm grip on the Temple of War.

It's not just because the Temple of War has the power to enforce laws against various forces, but also because the Temple of War possesses the only remaining god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannonball in the world—Eternal Heaven!
With this god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, he still has a chance!

Upon hearing this, Dong Zian narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, due to the presence of many federal congressmen from Shrek Academy, Chen Xinjie's decision was quickly approved.

Dong Zian also realized once again the influence Shrek Academy had on the Federation.

"It seems Shrek Academy deserved to be bombed..."

Dong Zian sighed inwardly. He was in the Western Legion and couldn't interfere in the affairs of the 13th District of the Federation, but not all of the councilors in front of him were unaware of the explosion at Shrek Academy.

After all, these councilors weren't just from Shrek Academy; some even had the Spirit Pagoda behind them...

"Hmph, once my disciple comes in, I'll mow you all down!"

Dong Zian snorted coldly, then slowly said:
"I have another proposal, which is to appoint Jiang Xiu, who is ranked first on the Federation's Genius List, as a federal congressman."

"Nonsense! What qualifications does Jiang Xiu have? What experience does he have?" Chen Xinjie was instantly enraged upon hearing this.

"I think you're the one abusing your power for personal gain. You've only just taken office and you're already doing this kind of thing. Dong Zi'an, answer me!"

Just then, Pan Wen turned on the soul guidance screen in front of the conference room and coughed twice, saying:
"According to the news coming from Shrek Academy, the millions of residents in Shrek City were not greatly affected by the God-Slaying Fixed-Position Soul Guidance Cannon, because they were all rescued by Shadow Lord Jiang Xiu. This achievement is unprecedented in the entire history of the Federation..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie fell silent instantly.

But soon he added in a low voice, "It's not time for him to run for office yet!"

Pan Wen coughed twice and continued playing a video on the soul guide screen. The video contained the voices of countless federal citizens calling for Jiang Xiu and requesting that he serve as a member of parliament.

Chen Xinjie fell silent again.

It seems he was set up; not only did he lose his position, but even his attempts to reject Dong Zi'an's proposals were thwarted.

"Dong Zian, I absolutely disagree with Jiang Xiu entering the Federation!" Chen Xinjie said through gritted teeth.

"Chen Xinjie, this is working time. Use your job title!"

Dong Zian glanced at Chen Xinjie indifferently, "Besides, you no longer hold any position, so all irrelevant people can leave."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie's face flushed red.

However, the councilors who came from Shrek Academy stood up and said, "We agree with Elder Chen's words and disagree with Jiang Xiu entering the Federation!"

Upon seeing this, a glint of stern light flashed in Dong Zi'an's eyes.

At this moment, Le Zheng'en slowly said, "Shouldn't we give young people a chance?"

"I, the leader, also support this," Shen Yue echoed.

Remembering his promise to Jiang Xiu, Yu Guanzhi also said with a gloomy face, "I think so too..."

"Fine, fine, fine!" Upon seeing this, Chen Xinjie was instantly filled with anger, but he also knew that this matter had to be settled today.

He then snorted coldly and said with a gloomy look in his eyes:

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Didn't we agree in the last meeting to unify the Douluo Plane before the Abyss Plane launches a full-scale attack?"

"As long as Jiang Xiu can subdue the Star Luo Empire for the Federation, I will unconditionally agree to become a member of parliament, or even the speaker!"
