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

Chapter 51. Let's fight the Three Gods again!

Ah this...

For a moment, Ye Xishui and Xue Di were extremely embarrassed. All three of them had embarked on the path to godhood. Protecting a small Heavenly Soul Empire would be a piece of cake.

Since Qin Yi had said that, it meant that the other party did not want to reveal their strength. The two women were not naive and innocent, so they naturally would not show any inappropriate expressions. Therefore, like everyone else, they also showed a gloomy and miserable look.

It has to be said that since Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, the performance of the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy has become increasingly poor. In particular, in the last Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy used a series of methods such as cheating and fighting to the death in the youth and junior groups, but still "narrowly lost" to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

What? You mean Zhang Lexuan? Heh, she's originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Qin Yi took her in as a disciple and recruited her into the Body Sect as their senior sister long ago. How could she possibly lead the Shrek Academy team to the Soul Master Tournament like in the original story?

Although Qin Yi's statement was somewhat demoralizing, from the moment the Heavenly Soul Empire needed to grovel before the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy to survive, the Heavenly Soul Empire had been utterly devoid of morale, and even the Heavenly Soul royal family had lost all sense of shame.

"Master, I understand. I will issue a summons as soon as possible to recall all students from the Heavenly Soul Empire and prepare for battle, as well as... our escape route."

Vina clenched her small fists, as if she had made a decision.

……

After finishing their meal, Vina returned to the Heavenly Soul Palace with Old Woman Hanren. She immediately wrote a decree, affixed the seal, and sent it throughout the country.

Most of the students from the Heavenly Soul Empire at Shrek Academy received letters from their families at almost the same time, and chose to leave without saying goodbye, without even dropping out of school, and left Shrek City.

Among them was Han Ruoruo, the captain of the youth group of the Shrek Academy team in the previous Soul Master Competition.

Han Ruoruo was born into a small Soul Master family in the Heavenly Soul Empire. When she received the letter from her family, she did not hesitate at all and immediately joined a caravan heading to the Heavenly Soul Empire, leaving Shrek City.

Even without Zhang Lexuan, the story of Xuanzi leading the team to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest, getting separated from the students along the way, and the twelve students facing a 100,000-year-old soul beast alone without their teachers still happened.

Han Ruoruo was the only student who returned to Shrek Academy without losing any limbs during that catastrophe. She witnessed her best friend become a cripple and commit suicide shortly after returning to Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy not only failed to give her a proper burial but also silenced her. How could Han Ruoruo not feel heartbroken?

Han Ruoruo is different from Zhang Lexuan in the original work. She is neither Beibei's child bride nor has she received any favors from the Sea God Pavilion. She even received very little hush money. Expecting her to be unconditionally loyal to the Sea God Pavilion is wishful thinking.

In a short time, nearly a third of the students at Shrek Academy left. The old geezers of the Sea God Pavilion couldn't sit still and quickly convened a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.

In the Sea God Pavilion's conference room, Mu En sat in the main seat, Long Xiaoyao was on the left, and Sea God Douluo Lin Huiqun was on the right. The other Sea God Pavilion members were arranged in a row according to their cultivation level and seniority.

Suddenly, Song Qingying (Xian Lin'er's mother) spoke up from the crowd: "Everyone, three days ago, Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire issued a decree, causing almost all students from the Heavenly Soul Empire to leave Shrek Academy one after another without withdrawing from school. The culprit behind this series of events is... Cai Meier, who was the vice dean of the outer academy of Shrek Academy at the time."

"I suggest that Cai Meier's martial spirit be abolished and she be imprisoned in the confessional chamber beneath the Sea God Pavilion as atonement for her actions!"

Snapped!

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao tapped the table, looked at Song Qingying to his right, and said coldly, "Even if Mei'er is killed, can Shrek Academy's losses be recovered? Hmph! When you bunch of scoundrels get into trouble, instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, you insist on forcibly convicting people... Song Qingying, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? I am Shao Zhe's maternal grandfather, and I decide his marriage. Even if your daughter offered herself to us, we wouldn't want her."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingying took a deep breath and said with displeasure, "Vice Pavilion Master Long, even if you are an elder, you cannot insult us like this, can you?"

"Heh, insult? Do you even deserve it?" Long Xiaoyao said with a mocking expression. "Anyone with eyes can see that the little princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire has long had such thoughts, but she just didn't have an excuse, so she put the matter aside."

"What, you're so eager to convict Mei'er that you want to pin all the blame for this whole series of events on her so you can absolve yourselves of this?"

"Heh, back when Brother Mu inherited the position of Pavilion Master, he wanted to completely change the development path of the Sea God Pavilion. It was your elders who were afraid that their power would be shaken, so they vehemently disagreed and even used their status as elders to pressure Brother Mu. They still tried to control the entire Douluo Continent with an academy. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"That was something our elders did, it can't be attributed to us!" Song Qingying said angrily.

"That's right, that's right. If Lord Pavilion Master wants to implement reforms, we will wholeheartedly support it and certainly won't hold you back like our elders did," Old Bi Deng hurriedly chimed in.

Upon seeing this, Long Xiaoyao's face instantly darkened, and a question kept swirling in his mind.

Should such a Sea God Pavilion really exist?

The meeting of the Sea God Pavilion ended in discord, and this series of events could only be left unresolved. With Long Xiaoyao protecting her, Cai Meier was beyond the reach of the old guards of the Sea God Pavilion.

Meanwhile... Moon is old, and his physical condition is not much better than at the same time in the original story. He is only hanging on by his breath thanks to the Golden Ancient Tree and does not have the energy to carry out reforms.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion conference room, Mu En immediately went to find Long Xiaoyao.

"Old friend, do you think... our Sea God Pavilion really has no future?"

Mu En stood hunched over on the shore, the setting sun shining on his withered old face.

Long Xiaoyao said expressionlessly, "When the army of the Sun Moon Empire is at the city gates, the three generations of sea gods will emerge, and we can fight another war of the three gods."

"Yes, let's have another three-god war, let the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy be the saviors of Douluo Continent once again, let Shrek Academy branches spread all over Douluo Continent, and let the glory and faith of the past appear before the world again!" Mu En couldn't help but sigh.
