In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

As for the inner court students and instructors who were still taking refuge in the Sea God Pavilion, Chen Yu couldn't care less about their lives or deaths and could only tell them to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, the vanguard of the undead army was not large, and they were already stretched thin trying to stop Lin Huiqun and Long Xiaoyao's reinforcements. They simply couldn't spare any more troops to ambush Chen Yu.

Soon, Chen Yu successfully reunited with Lin Huiqun, Long Xiaoyao, and others.

"Aunt Lin, Grandpa Long, have you notified the other forces? Can they send people to support us?"

Chen Yu collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. She didn't want to experience such a terrifying situation a second time.

Lin Huiqun frowned and said, "At most half an hour, Chen Yu, Huo Yuhao, and the experts from Ningyun Sect and the Sun Moon Empire will arrive at Shrek City. Forget about the Soul Master Legion; there simply isn't enough time. Judging from the movements of the undead army, they intend to establish... well... some kind of device on the Sea God Pavilion, a device that can teleport their troops here. Our task is to thwart their plan within the limited time available!"

Chen Yu nodded and said expressionlessly, "First, gather the remaining troops, then go to the armory in the southern city area to get some siege equipment, organize manpower, and give Shrek Academy indiscriminate bombardment before reinforcements arrive."

After saying this, Chen Yu closed his eyes with a pained expression, silently apologizing to the students and instructors who had not yet escaped Shrek Academy.

She would rather make a mistake than do nothing.

The Sea God Pavilion cannot afford to suffer too many losses; if the losses are too great, it will lose its qualification to compete with the Condensing Cloud Sect for supremacy.

The Bright Moon Plane must be fought, but not at the cost of lives. This is Chen Yu's bottom line, or rather, the bottom line of the entire Sea God Pavilion interest group!

And so, Lin Huiqun and Long Xiaoyao began, under Chen Yu's banner, to gather the remaining troops and organize a bombardment of Shrek Academy. They also arranged for special personnel to evacuate the members of the Sea God Pavilion's loyal families, placing them outside the South Gate for protection, so that they could leave immediately and seek refuge in the Star Luo Empire should the situation change.

Meanwhile, on Poseidon Island.

With the cooperation of Song Qingying and Xian Lin'er, the undead army took over Seagod Island without bloodshed. Although it was stated beforehand that the undead army would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, the students of Shrek Academy's inner court still looked timid and hesitant.

After calming down the younger generation, Song Qingying finally had some free time and came to her new master.

He, or she, had shed her black robes, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Song Qingying stared for a long time but still couldn't figure out her new master's gender. Was he a man? But he was wearing tight pants, so there was no indication of his male characteristics.

A woman? Hmm... Based on her experience of being a woman for over a hundred years, the other party didn't seem like a woman either. There seemed to be nothing there, so she couldn't use this conventional way to determine His/Her gender.

Thinking of this, Song Qingying couldn't help but ask, "Lady Lin Qian, may I ask... are you a man or a woman?"

Lin Qian said expressionlessly, "Innate spirits are not divided by gender. They can freely choose their gender after reaching adulthood, but I have not made a choice yet."

As she spoke, Lin Qian turned her gaze to the engineers who were setting up a mind beacon nearby. "How long will it take to build the mind beacon?"

The engineer replied, "Sir, the mind beacon will be ready for use in just one hour, but opening the spatial passage connecting the two worlds will take at least two hours."

"Two hours?" Lin Qian frowned, hurriedly patted Song Qingying's shoulder, and ordered, "Go, go and gather all the Soul Masters you can trust. Chen Yu isn't stupid; he will definitely organize a counterattack. What we need to do... is to hold the fortifications on Seagod Island within these two hours."

"I don't care how many people you can gather, as long as you can cooperate with the undead army to hold out for two hours, you, Song Qingying, will be the number one hero in this interdimensional war, and the future number one figure in the Douluo God Realm!"

Before she could finish speaking, bursts of artillery fire echoed across the sky. Lin Qian looked in the direction of the sound and saw... on the back mountain of Shrek Academy, figures appeared and disappeared, and hundreds of shells bombarded the defenses constructed by the undead legion.

Seeing this, Lin Qian hurriedly patted Song Qingying's shoulder and said irritably, "What are you looking at? Why don't you go and gather the manpower? Don't forget, you are now a traitor to the Douluo World. If the Haoyue Plane loses, you, Song Qingying, are destined to be infamous for eternity and nailed to the Douluo World's shame board. The members of the Qingying Divine Eagle Clan will be ashamed because of you and will not be able to hold their heads up in front of outsiders."

Even in the midst of the urgency, Lin Qian didn't forget to give Song Qingying a warning, reminding her that her cultivation was all gained by betraying the Sea God Pavilion and the Douluo World, and that she could never clear her name. If she wanted to live and reach the top step by step, she could only obediently serve as a dog for the Haoyue Plane.

"I know, there's no need for you to remind me again, Lady Lin Qian. I will have Lin'er gather those like-minded people to come and fight together. And the camp that is being bombed by Chen Yu and the others is my final resting place, Song Qingying."

Song Qingying bowed slightly, gave a shallow greeting in Lin Qian's direction, then turned around and walked away without looking back.

Lin Qian was taken aback upon hearing this, and the next moment, a gloomy look appeared on her androgynous face.

……

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Seeing this scene before him, Long Xiaoyao turned around, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Chen Yu, and said, "Miss, that traitor Song Qingying has arrived at the front-line camp. Continuing to bombard the area will not yield much benefit. Should we... launch an attack? I, Long, am willing to be the vanguard."

As a slightly naive voice rang out, some spirited young Soul Masters stepped out from the crowd and knelt down on the ground.

"Yes, Senior Dragon Emperor is right. What kind of hero waits for other forces to provide support? If we can't even be the first to act, how can the Sea God Pavilion be called the number one force on the continent? Everyone dies eventually. Dying on the battlefield to protect our homeland is a worthy death."

"Please give the order, Your Highness, to immediately assemble a suicide squad to kill these invading enemies and avenge our fallen brothers and sisters."

The Spirit Hall's system is practically perfect, yet it has produced many scourges like Miles. The Sea God Pavilion is selfish and greedy, but it is not without its share of ruthless individuals.

Good and evil... are never absolute.

Once the first one appeared, a second followed, and more and more people surrounded Chen Yu, leaving her somewhat at a loss. (End of Chapter)
