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

Shen Yi and Leng Yaozhu made no attempt to conceal anything, recounting their experiences in Donghai City and their conversations with Leng Yaozhu in their entirety.

After listening to their descriptions, Long Yeyue, who was seated in the main seat, frowned subconsciously.

Something's not right, this is very wrong. She doesn't believe that Leng Yaozhu would simply keep Shen Yi and Zhao Mo under house arrest for half a day just to make the Sea God Pavilion suspicious... Neither Leng Yaozhu nor Qian Gu Dongfeng nor the entire Qian Gu family would have such a perverse sense of humor. The Spirit Pagoda must have some unknown big move going on.

What big move is this? Could it be that... the Spirit Pagoda is planning a surprise attack on Shrek's inner city?

No, that's unlikely. If the Spirit Pagoda were to launch a surprise attack on Shrek's inner city, Shen Yi and Zhao Mo wouldn't be able to return alive. The Sea God Pavilion and the Spirit Pagoda dislike each other and wish they could eliminate the other as soon as possible, but neither dares to initiate a large-scale war.

If the Spirit Pagoda doesn't intend to launch a surprise attack on Shrek Academy's inner city, then... any action that would require Qian Gu Dongfeng to personally intervene would only be an attack on the Sea God Pavilion's influence on the Douluo Continent.

"This is bad! The Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Federation are preparing to take action against... those officials within the Douluo Continent who support our Sea God Pavilion!"

Long Yeyue slapped her thigh, a look of annoyance immediately appearing on her face.

No! Absolutely not! The Sea God Pavilion was able to rival the Spirit Pagoda with just one city because of the support of those filial sons. If those filial sons all fall, the problems might not be apparent in the short term, but over time, the Sea God Pavilion's weaknesses will be fully exposed.

To fight against all the Soul Masters of the entire Douluo Continent with just one city... Haha, that's impossible no matter how you look at it.

Long Yeyue took a deep breath, her sharp gaze sweeping over the members of the Sea God Pavilion in the conference room before she slowly spoke: "Pass on my order, in the name of the Sea God Pavilion Master, to issue a statement to all cities in the Sun Moon Federation, saying that certain individuals within the Sun Moon Federation are unjust and ruthless, openly persecuting officials with differing political views without any evidence, and that their actions are outrageous... Write it exactly as stated. I don't expect the Sea God Pavilion to gain much benefit in this struggle; I only hope that the Sun Moon Federation and the Spirit Pagoda will not be the ultimate victors!"

After saying that, Long Yeyue suddenly stood up, put her hands behind her back, and swayed out of the Sea God Pavilion conference room.

Meanwhile, the elders still in the conference room looked at each other, none of them daring to question Long Yeyue's decision. They could only huddle together to discuss the contents of the manifesto.

Some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back.

Qian Gu Dongfeng was in no hurry to make public the "evidence" of those officials' crimes. He knew that this operation could not be kept secret from the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion. According to their usual style, they would never be willing to be tricked.

Almost simultaneously, at the same time that the Sea God Pavilion issued its condemnation, official agencies in various cities and local branches of the Spirit Pagoda distributed image crystals containing Wu Changkong's "confession." The battle between the two factions had only just begun!

……

"Have you heard?"

"What?"

"It's about the Federal government arresting over a hundred high-ranking officials. The Sea God Pavilion says it's the Federal high command eliminating dissidents, while the Federal and the Spirit Pagoda say the Sea God Pavilion planted spies in Federal government agencies. Both sides have their own version of events. Tell me... which side is right?"

"Sigh, what does it matter to us who is right and who is wrong? No matter who is the emperor, low-level soul masters like us can only serve as slaves to those high and mighty adults."

"That's true, but we have to face reality. If you ask me... neither side is telling the truth. The claim that the Sea God Pavilion planted spies in federal government agencies is probably just because they can't stand the behavior of certain officials. They used that as an excuse to get rid of those people."

"What happened to those officials?"

"What's wrong? They eat the Federation's food and receive the Federation's salary, yet they're praising the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy... To give you an example, imagine you hire a helper for your family, and you've never mistreated them, but they keep praising your enemy. In that situation, could you stand it?"

"That's really going too far. Since the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy are such good friends, why don't you stay in Shrek's inner city and serve your master? Why do you have to be a traitor in the Federation's official institutions? If you don't die, who will?!"

"We can't control the struggles among those with titles and titles, but we, the common folk, must watch where the wind is blowing and not let it blow onto us."

……

Strength is not the same as intelligence.

There are many low-level Soul Masters who have seen through the true nature of the Soul Master world.

After learning that the Sea God Pavilion had officially broken ties with the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun and Moon Federation, most people adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

Only a small number of Soul Masters still support the Sea God Pavilion. Of course, these people are basically the management of small sects. After this incident, if the current staff of the Sun Moon Federation, the Spirit Pagoda and its subordinate forces dare to make any statements that are favorable to the Sea God Pavilion, they will not be the only ones to die.

As public opinion grew, the matter quickly spread throughout the entire Donghai City.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

It concerned a struggle between the largest forces in the Soul Master world. When it was being spread, no one dared to embellish it. The cause and effect of this series of events were conveyed to the ears of the Great God King Huo in their entirety.

Are the top leaders of the Sun and Moon Federation eliminating dissidents?

Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi trained many professionals and sent them to infiltrate federal government agencies, including Wu Changkong.

What on earth is all this?!

Having read "The Legend of the God of Destruction," the Great God King Huo didn't believe a word of the rumors circulating outside. He thought all crows were black, and in order to gain the support of neutral people, everyone liked to stand on the moral high ground and condemn the other side.

"The Sea God Pavilion in this timeline isn't having an easy time."

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh a few times. As someone who had been through it all, he was all too aware of the advantages of the Spirit Pagoda today.

Every year, the Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Pagodas go to the local Soul Master Academy to awaken the Martial Soul for all eligible children. Meanwhile, the Federation provides compulsory education for children who don't have much work ability. In contrast, what have the Sea God Pavilion and Tang Sect done?

In this war of public opinion... the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Federation cannot possibly be losers. Their resources are there for all to see, and the Sun Moon Federation is still the nominal master of Douluo Continent. If they can't even outmaneuver the Sea God Pavilion in terms of public opinion, they might as well just find a block of tofu and smash their heads against it.

However, this doesn't mean the Sea God Pavilion has lost. After all, it's a power with a 20,000-year history, and it previously had the backing of a deity. Its influence is far more complex than it appears on the surface. This operation by the Sun Moon Federation and the Spirit Pagoda only resulted in a minor loss for the Sea God Pavilion.
