Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"Give me Huo Yuhao—"

"Take the lock first!"

Chapter 336 What will happen to Yuhao? Only God knows.

"Dean Yan, I..."

It’s over.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill in his heart.

Cai Meier and Gong Changlong had already rushed out from both ends and were about to capture Huo Yuhao.

"Yan Shaozhe, what's wrong with you?!"

Xian Lin'er roared, and faint blue flames swirled around her. The few remaining elders who had gone to the Sun Moon Empire all looked puzzled. They didn't know what had happened and instinctively wanted to step forward and ask.

Xuanzi directly blocked Huo Yuhao's path, his cloudy old eyes flashing with a sharp light. He waved his hands outward, and two powerful, earth-yellow soul forces slapped Cai Meier and Gong Changlong back without mercy.

These two are among the best in the Title Douluo category, but neither of them has broken through to the Super Douluo level, so they are naturally no match for him.

"Shao Zhe! What are you doing?"

"Elder Xuan, fellow elders, I didn't want this to happen either, but... sigh, look at what's going on."

Yan Shaozhe did not answer directly. A flash of light appeared on his wrist, and a soul-guided screen lit up behind him.

On the screen, a video was playing of Huo Yuhao devouring the guards in Warehouse Zero; then it showed him summoning the Gate of the Dead during the Underground Soul Master Competition; next, it showed the footage he left behind at the explosion site on Pyongyang Avenue; and finally, it showed the most vicious curse uttered just moments before the Mingdu Explosion.

Everything was crystal clear.

Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted!

The first video alone caused the elders, including Xian Lin'er, and even Xu Sanshi and others, to become noticeably unsteady on their feet.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically at that moment. The elders stared at the screen, their expressions shifting from confusion to shock, and then to anger.

They instinctively took a step back, their gazes towards Huo Yuhao becoming unfamiliar and wary.

What kind of soul skill is it that can melt away flesh and blood and swallow a whole human body?

The elders here are all quite experienced. You should know that even evil spirit masters have never heard of such an ability to devour living people.

How utterly evil this is!

When Huo Yuhao summoned the Gate of the Dead to devour Ye Guyi and orchestrated the Mingdu Explosion, Xian Lin'er and the others were speechless.

These scenes are irrefutable and the evidence is irrefutable.

Huo Yuhao, the closed-door disciple of Dragon God Douluo Mu Lao, and one of the most dazzling geniuses of Shrek Academy, actually became an evil soul master right under their noses!

Bei Bei and Wang Dong'er's expressions changed drastically. They both knew some of the inside stories of Huo Yuhao's necromancy, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to his plan to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, when those twisted, grotesque, and bloody scenes actually appeared on the screen, they were still shocked like never before.

Yan Shaozhe sighed.

"Elder Xuan, Lin'er, and everyone else, now you know why I acted this way. How could I have wanted to do this? The academy is going through a turbulent time, but it is a fact that Yuhao has fallen into the status of an evil soul master. No matter what the reason, necessary questioning and detention of him are unavoidable."

Even so, you can't treat Yuhao like this!

Beibei immediately asked, "Dean Yan, where did you get these things? When we were in the Sun Moon Empire, we were basically always together with Yuhao, and we were very careful in everything we did. Is it possible that such clear footage is fake?"

“Yes, yes! Yuhao wouldn’t do that! Dean Yan, Yuhao… he really isn’t a bad person. Everything he did was for the academy, for everyone.” Wang Dong’er tried her best to defend him.

"This is footage of the Sun Moon Empire's new emperor's ascension to the throne, broadcast live across the entire continent. We and the Three Kingdoms have done our best to collect it, but until now, we haven't found any convincing evidence to refute it. On the contrary, it has only confirmed this point."

"Huo Yuhao," Yan Shaozhe finally turned his head, his gaze fixed on him, filled with regret and sorrow, "Since entering the academy, your leveling speed has been unbelievably fast. We always thought you were a genius, the hope of Shrek Academy, so we never investigated the secrets behind you. But now, it seems the answer has already emerged on its own."

"The methods of an evil spirit master. What else do you have to say?"

Before he could finish speaking, Old Song had already taken a step forward, his aged voice filled with barely suppressed anger:

"Take it!"

Cai Meier and Gong Changlong stepped forward again. This time, no one stopped them.

Huo Yuhao felt all the blood rushing to his head, feeling both cold and hot, as if he were being tormented repeatedly between ice and fire.

He slumped down as if he had no bones, allowing the two men to wrap his arms around his back.

In the dead of night, his worst fears were finally exposed.

For some reason, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sense of relief, though his heart felt empty.

I clearly wanted to do things well...

How did things get to this point?

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth silently, but tears streamed down his face.

"Wait!" Xuanzi shouted, taking a step forward and blocking Huo Yuhao's path.

"Shao Zhe, Lao Song, I have been following Yu Hao's situation closely. His situation is not as bad as you imagine; he has his own difficulties. In addition, many important things have happened during my trip with my son Riyue. Let's convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion first."

The elders looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.

Xuanzi was, after all, the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, the de facto supreme leader of Shrek Academy. No one dared to openly disobey him.

Upon seeing this, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier exchanged a knowing glance, becoming even more certain of their guesses.

Yan Shaozhe remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Alright, then please convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Xuan. We need to report to you on the recent events."

Xuanzi sighed, looking exhausted. "Alright, let's do it that way."

He turned around and said to Huo Yuhao:

"Go and rest first. Don't wander around or leave the academy. We'll talk about your business after the meeting."

Upon hearing this, Elder Song's expression softened somewhat. Although Xuanzi hadn't taken any coercive measures against Huo Yuhao, it was essentially a form of house arrest.

Wang Dong'er seemed to want to say something more, but Bei Bei stopped her with a look.

The attitude of most of the elders at Shrek Academy towards evil soul masters is self-evident; not taking any action against Huo Yuhao for the time being is already the best outcome.

Wang Dong'er bit her lip, but ultimately did not go forward again.

Huo Yuhao knelt there blankly, as if his soul had been ripped from his body. Bei Bei walked over, gently patted his shoulder, and whispered:

"Yuhao, get up. Elder Xuan is protecting you."

After Bei Bei spoke several times, Huo Yuhao finally reacted, nodded blankly, turned around, and followed Bei Bei towards the dormitory.

Along the way, many trainees looked at him with fear, disgust, and contempt in their eyes. They whispered and pointed at him as if he were a monster.

Huo Yuhao did not turn around.

As I passed the golden tree, a golden leaf drifted down.

It twirled and drifted down in the evening breeze, landing right on his shoulder. The leaf radiated a warm glow, like a gentle hand softly resting on his shoulder.

This made Huo Yuhao's figure appear even more desolate.

Following the leaf radiating a warm glow, Huo Yuhao looked at the large tree that was entirely golden and exuded a warm light.

It stands quietly in the center of Poseidon Island, its branches swaying gently in the evening breeze, making a rustling sound, like the last guardian of this land.

It was like Moon's dying wish, a sigh, a comfort.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao remembered many things.

He thought of Wang Dong'er, who might never be able to improve her soul power again.

He remembered the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul that could not be used normally.

He remembered Electrolux, who had sacrificed himself for him.

He thought of his mother.

Along the way, he was almost penniless.

Huo Yuhao could no longer hold back. As if he had suddenly collapsed, he threw himself against the tree roots and burst into tears.

"Teacher... what should I do..."

Yan Shaozhe watched this scene from afar, his eyes slightly distorted, and a hint of emotion flashed across his face.

Huo Yuhao's future fate is undoubtedly in his own hands, or in the hands of someone behind him.

Chapter 337 Shrek Academy in turmoil, the honest Xuanzi is not honest!

Yan Shaozhe quickly recovered, turned to Xuanzi, slightly turned his body, and showed a respectful expression.

"Elder Xuan, please."

Xuanzi nodded and stepped forward.

His steps remained steady, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of barely perceptible smugness, as if he had finally waited for something, and he even subconsciously puffed out his belly.

But Xuanzi didn't notice that Yan Shaozhe and Old Song exchanged another glance behind him.

He didn't notice that the elders following behind him were subtly shifting their pace, as if being slowly manipulated by an invisible hand, forming a kind of encirclement.

As they walked, Yan Shaozhe began, "Elder Xuan, let me give you a brief report on what has been happening in Shrek City recently."

"Mm." Xuanzi nodded.

Yan Shaozhe's voice was calm as still water, as if he were stating something that had nothing to do with him:

"After the competition, videos of the academy team's eight-person team cheating and the Mingdu explosion were widely disseminated by the Sun Moon Empire using their Soul Guidance System. With the malicious hype from some people from the Three Kingdoms who had relatives killed or injured in the Mingdu explosion, public opinion was very unfavorable to us."

He didn't give Xuanzi and the others much time to process this: "The royal families of the three kingdoms also tried to suppress the situation within their countries, but they encountered a fierce backlash. Now, although we still have a lot of support, the events involving Huo Yuhao, the evil soul master, have caused unrest among the people, and many people's attitudes have wavered. Many merchants and students in Shrek City have already left."

"Hmm." Xuanzi nodded, feigning seriousness.

Yan Shaozhe lowered his head meekly, his voice carrying a hint of apology:

"Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to order the academy's external forces to shrink back and preserve their strength while you are still away. However, the Shrek Academy's monitoring team members are very indignant and strongly demand to take the initiative to clear our image in the outside world. The children's intentions are good, but considering the widespread hostility towards us from the outside world, I think it would be best to suspend all monitoring activities for the time being. What do you think..."

"Hmm~ That's right! I think it would be better if we stopped conducting any more monitoring activities."

Xuanzi nodded repeatedly, then seemed to realize that what he had said was inappropriate, so he coughed lightly and patted Yan Shaozhe on the shoulder.
