Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 327 The Ming Dynasty is coming to Shrek Academy

"Cough cough—" Inside Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan trembled all over and collapsed weakly.

Ah Yin frowned and withdrew her power. Zhang Lexuan was someone she had to protect because she was currently the strongest inner disciple in Shrek Academy. With Mu En already dead outside, this girl was the candidate to succeed the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Ma Xiaotao was deliberately released by her because she had received a divine decree from Tang San to release the Five Monsters within the next six months, and he had informed her of the candidates. After Ma Xiaotao joined the Holy Spirit Cult, Ma Hongjun would appear as her child, thus becoming a hidden pawn.

Moreover, with Ma Xiaotao's talent, she is undoubtedly a candidate to become the next leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, thus realizing the true unity of the three cults as one family.

Shrek Academy trains newcomers to collect faith, the Holy Spirit Cult is the prey, and after the rise of the Tang Sect, it became the second law enforcement force.

In this way, the successor of the Sea God Pavilion is destined to be Zhang Lexuan, who is morally blackmailed by Mu En. Before she sacrifices herself to him, he must protect her. Therefore, the Golden Tree secretly used its power to protect the source of Zhang Lexuan's spiritual sea. As long as she has a conscience, she will be even more loyal to Shrek Academy.

However, the others were not so lucky. Feng Ling's attack was her greatest asset in becoming a Super Douluo. Therefore, Han Ruoruo, the control-type Soul Douluo, had her martial soul crack after fighting Feng Ling's true form. The rope was contaminated by the evil aura. Although she would not fall into depravity because of this, her strength would decrease.

At this moment, the other elders who had been engaged in diplomatic warfare also returned to Seagod Island. Taotie Xuanzi and Qingying Shenying Lin Huiqun forced themselves to stand up straight, coughing incessantly. Elder Zhuang channeled life energy into them to treat them, but it only had an effect on the injuries Lin Huiqun had sustained from the blast.

"What a bunch of weaklings, utterly useless," Ah Yin thought to herself. She began to consider whether to invite a few other Limit Douluos from the hidden forces to come and keep things in order. After all, the original Four Monsters were coming to Shrek Academy, and their safety needed to be protected.

Thinking to herself that she planned to recover for a while, she sent a thought to the Blue Silver Grass on the Haotian Sect.

She chose Da Ming. This was because Da Ming was once Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor spirit ring, and his affinity with Ah Yin was higher than that of Er Ming; moreover, he was also a Limit Breaker. Having him temporarily guard Shrek City should be more than enough.

Poseidon Douluo Chen Haoming cannot be summoned; he has more important tasks at hand. In comparison, the idle members of the Clear Sky Sect are the best choice.

"We need to hurry up and improve the students' cultivation." Xuanzi stood up with difficulty. "Now that Elder Mu has passed away and Yan Shaozhe is still missing, the combat power of Shrek Academy's higher-ups has dropped significantly. This battle is a lesson."

Upon hearing Xuanzi's speech, the other elders all stood up straight.

Gong Changlong nodded slightly: "Elder Xuan, the enemy who just took Ma Xiaotao away should be the Dark Phoenix from a long time ago, perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to be called the Evil Phoenix now. My martial soul is a sub-dragon species, so I won't be wrong."

"Xiao Tao..." Xuanzi's eyes hardened. Zhang Lexuan was already seriously injured and had just been carried into the Sea God Pavilion. Both girls were reserve members of the Sea God Pavilion and could not be allowed to have any problems.

"Should we go to the Sun Moon Empire to ask for people?" Qian Duoduo said dejectedly.

Xuanzi glanced at him: "You're going?"

Qian Duoduo immediately shut up. Mu En had stayed there and hadn't come back; wouldn't it be suicide for him to go over there?

"Everyone, to put it bluntly, we have all underestimated the strength of the Sun Moon Empire. With their wealth, soul tools, and the evil soul masters they have gathered, they have now become a force to be reckoned with," Lin Huiqun said slowly. "If war really breaks out on the continent, we may find it very difficult to withstand it."

"What's there to be afraid of? We Shrek Academy defeated them four thousand years ago, and we won't have any problems now," Xuanzi said. "I'd like to invite the royal families of the three great empires to have a chat."

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The Star Luo Empire is currently embroiled in internal strife. The people are strongly calling for the White Tiger Duke to be crowned emperor, but the influence of that girl from the Xu family should not be underestimated," an elder said. "The Star Luo Empire has now lost six titled figures: Xu Jiawei, Xuanji, Juli, Tiansha, Suixing, and Juchui. The strength of the Hall of Worship has been reduced by nearly half, and the remaining worshippers are now divided into two factions, constantly engaged in covert struggles."

"What kind of time is this, still fighting amongst themselves!" Xuanzi roared. "This is all the work of the Sun Temple, can't they see it?"

After the Soul Master Competition concluded, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion analyzed the events of the past month and concluded that, starting with the competition's image bead, everything was part of a conspiracy by the Sun Moon Empire and the Sun Temple. They were subtly altering the perceptions of the people of Star Luo City using soul tools, without needing to reveal themselves directly.

The Star Luo Empire is currently in turmoil, and there's a strong chance that some other force is behind it all.

"Elder Xuan, let's go back and talk." An elder's eyes flickered.

An emergency meeting was convened inside the Sea God Pavilion.

"Based on our long-standing relationship and cooperation with the Star Luo royal family, as well as our surveillance of them," an elder said slowly, "it all seems to have happened within a year, which is terrifying."

"How did things begin?" Xuanzi asked, calming down.

The elders spoke one after another, starting from the establishment of the Sun Temple and the killing of Sea Douluo. Then the news reached the Star Luo Empire, where Xu Jiawei was furious and began to plant spies among the people, arresting those who doubted the faith of the Sea God and Shrek Academy.

From that time onward, the people of the Star Luo Empire began to feel insecure and began to doubt their faith in the royal family and the sea god. After a long period of fermentation, this doubt was ignited during the Soul Master Competition.

In addition, Shrek Academy failed in the Soul Master Competition, and Xu Jiawei led his followers to hunt down the Sun Moon Empire, only to be wiped out. The Sun Moon Royal Family has issued an arrest warrant for the Xu family of the Star Luo Empire.

As a result, calls arose among the people for Dai Hao to take over, as many no longer wanted to be ruled by the Xu family through a form of terrorism akin to purges and counter-revolutionaries.

However, some believe that with the new emperor's ascension, the true power lies with the former Princess Jiujiu, and we should trust her before questioning her. After all, the Dai family suffered heavy losses in the war against the Sun Moon Empire.

"It's estimated that soon, Dai Hao will lead several retainers who have joined him, along with a group of loyal followers, to cause trouble in Xingluo City," the elders analyzed. "Elder Xuan, who do you think will win?"

Xuanzi's face fell slightly, and he thought to himself, "How would I know?"

"No matter who wins, as long as they can continue to support Shrek Academy, that's fine." Xuanzi waved his hand casually, seemingly unconcerned. "In that case, let's put the negotiations with the Imperial Family on hold for now. It just so happens that our new generation of Seven Little Monsters also needs time to grow and fill the vacancies of the Seven Great Monsters."

"Let's focus on developing our own students first. It's a pity that the exchange student plan failed because of the falling out with the Sun Moon Empire." Xuanzi took a deep breath. Only after arriving at the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master did he understand what it meant to have to bear the weight of the crown.

"How long have Cai Meier and the others been gone?" Xuanzi suddenly asked.

"Elder Xuan, it's been three days. The vice-dean took those three little ones to the Star Dou Great Forest. Hopefully, they'll have a good harvest."

The Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship is a force to be reckoned with. The entire Star Luo Empire has more than twelve titled individuals, including the "Troublemakers Team" that was surrounded by Ye Xishui alone in the original story, as well as Shattered Star, Giant Hammer, and Xuanji.

In the original text, within the Hall of Offerings, the present-day Healer Douluo, Wang Xian'er, is an extremely rare healing-type Super Douluo, arguably one of the most important trump cards of the entire Star Luo Empire. She is the Deputy Hall Master of the Royal Hall of Offerings, second only to another Super Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, who is the strongest individual in the empire.

The identity of this strongest person has not been stated or described directly, but since the Douling Empire is the weakest empire, and its strongest Tianyang is 97, it is estimated that this person's strength will not be weaker than Tianyang Douluo.

The Star Luo Empire may experience internal strife, or even split.
