Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Xuanzi had indeed watched Yan Shaozhe grow up. The two had known each other for many years and had a good relationship. Therefore, in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, Xuanzi was a trustworthy person.

Being falsely accused by someone he once trusted was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, causing Yan Shaozhe not only pain but also anger. He no longer suppressed his anger but chose to unleash it, saying directly, "Elder Xuan, you call me a traitor, but I think you are more of a traitor than I am! After all, judging from the mistakes you have made, your identity as a traitor can be confirmed."

Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, and his face immediately darkened. He did not expect Yan Shaozhe to start bringing up old grievances. He had indeed made many mistakes and caused some losses to the academy, but he had always felt guilty about the mistakes he had made.

Yan Shaozhe's remarks were undoubtedly rubbing salt into his own wounds.

Moreover, what do the mistakes I made have to do with whether I am a traitor?

The other party is definitely trying to change the subject by doing this!

"Yan Shaozhe, how dare you turn the tables and falsely accuse me of being a traitor?"

"Framed? I was merely making a reasonable counterattack. Elder Xuan, you can rely on a series of so-called evidence to prove that I am a traitor, so why can't I prove that you are a traitor through the mistakes you have made in the past?"

"You're talking nonsense! You're framing me! Instead of bringing up my past, you should be thinking about what excuse you'll come up with to cover up your betrayal of the academy!"

"If you hadn't falsely accused me of betraying the academy, why would I have bothered to bring up your past mistakes? If you hadn't made so many mistakes, would I have had the chance to do so? Le Xuan shouldn't have knelt outside the Sea God Pavilion to beg you to stay back then!"

Because both sides were very strong, the entire Sea God Pavilion was soon filled with the sounds of Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi blaming each other, creating an extremely noisy atmosphere.

The more they blamed each other, the more their anger burned, almost to the point of a physical fight.

Moon had a bit of a headache. He sighed and said, "Alright, stop arguing."

Soon, Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe stopped arguing and looked at Mu En.

Mu En's gaze swept across the two faces. He mentally reviewed everything the two had just said and came to a conclusion. Then he said, "Whether it's Xuanzi or Shaozhe, they are both loyal to the academy. There is no traitor between the two of you."

“Especially Xuanzi, the evidence you presented is simply insufficient to prove that Shaozhe is a traitor. You have misunderstood Shaozhe. As for Shaozhe, you brought up old matters, reopened Xuanzi’s wounds, and said that Xuanzi is a traitor. Perhaps this was just something you said in anger when you were misunderstood.”

"However, both of you made mistakes, but Xuanzi made more mistakes. Xuanzi, you are punished by being confined to the academy for three months to cultivate properly and not to be obsessed with capturing traitors. I will entrust this matter to someone else. As for Shaozhe, you are punished by being confined to the academy for two months."

"Yes, Elder Mu!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Although the two were unwilling, they eventually agreed to Mu En's request. Of course, this created a grudge between them, and today's events have become a thorn in their hearts.

Mu En looked somewhat tired. He knew that his approach could only temporarily ease the conflict and could not fundamentally solve the problem. From today onwards, the relationship between Shao Zhe and Xuan Zi would likely deteriorate rapidly and would never be as harmonious as before.

However, he hoped that the situation within the Sea God Pavilion could be stabilized as soon as possible, as this would be in the overall interest of the academy. Therefore, he had no choice but to resort to this measure.

After all, Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhuang have died at the hands of Sun and Moon level experts, and the Sea God Pavilion has lost two elders, greatly reducing its strength. If Xuan Zi and Shao Zhe continue to argue or even fight, it will be detrimental to Shrek Academy.

Moreover, for the sake of the bigger picture, the most important thing now is to bring Xiao Song and those students back.

He then looked at Qian Duoduo, Cai Meier, and Xian Liner.

Chapter 513 Xuanzi: We must kill Yan Shaozhe, that traitor!

Mu En slowly said, "According to the previous plan, Xiao Song will lead the students to the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire first, then fly across the sea, infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire, reach Haiyue City on the Sun Moon coast, and then go to Sunrise City to try to rescue the hostages."

“Mei’er, Lin’er, Duo Duo, since Kong Deming has already led a group of powerful individuals to guard the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the two great empires, then you should give up going to the border and instead secretly follow the route taken by Xiao Song and the others to infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire.”

Remember, do not venture too deep into the Sun Moon Empire. If you can rescue the hostages, do so. If not, retreat with the students. The students' lives must be the top priority! Everything else can wait!

Admittedly, a failed rescue operation would damage Shrek Academy's image in the eyes of the rulers of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, but for the academy now, it is imperative to minimize the losses as much as possible.

“Yes!” Cai Meier, Xian Lin’er, and Qian Duoduo all nodded in agreement.

Moon waved his hand: "Alright, if there's nothing else, today's Poseidon Pavilion meeting is adjourned."

Soon, Moon left the Sea God Pavilion, intending to become the old gatekeeper at the bottom of the dormitory building, watching the young students come and go. His purpose in doing so was simple: to feel the youthful energy of the students and lift his spirits.

As for Cai Meier, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo, they quickly left the Sea God Pavilion and headed to the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire to carry out the mission arranged by Mu En.

Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi did not leave the Sea God Pavilion. According to Mu En's punishment, they were to go into seclusion in the academy, and the seclusion location was naturally the Sea God Pavilion.

Poseidon Pavilion is the most important place in Shrek Academy.

The ancestors of Shrek Academy created the Sea God Pavilion by carving the Golden Tree. In a sense, the Sea God Pavilion is part of the Golden Tree.

Because the Golden Tree constantly exudes an aura of life and light, cultivating in the rooms of the Sea God Pavilion is undoubtedly extremely beneficial for Soul Masters.

Their eyes met, like sharp blades clashing. Finally, Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly, turned around, walked to a wall, stretched out his hand, pointed at the wall, and instantly, a golden halo burst forth, quickly enveloping his entire body.

Under Xuanzi's gaze, golden light surged, and Yan Shaozhe's figure disappeared. He withdrew his gaze, walked to another wall, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

She had clearly spoken out against Yan Shaozhe's treason in front of everyone for the safety of Shrek Academy, but Elder Mu did not trust her and instead thought that she had misunderstood Yan Shaozhe, and even punished her by putting her into seclusion.

Although Yan Shaozhe was also punished with seclusion like himself, for a traitor like him, the mere punishment of seclusion was nothing.

Undoubtedly, he, a person devoted to Shrek Academy, was treated unfairly.

Ultimately, it was all because Elder Mu was misled by Yan Shaozhe's explanations. To be honest, this wasn't the first time Elder Mu had been deceived by others.

Back then, Elder Mu let Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng go, but Zhang Peng joined forces with others to attack the Shrek exchange students, resulting in the near annihilation of the Shrek exchange students. Although I also bear some responsibility for this incident, if Elder Mu had chosen to kill Zhang Peng back then, would Zhang Peng have had the opportunity to kill the Shrek students?

Now that Elder Mu believes he has misunderstood Yan Shaozhe and is punishing him, this will undoubtedly sow the seeds of a huge disaster, just as Elder Mu let Zhang Peng go back then.

Presenting evidence is no longer a viable option.

It seems that my only option in the future is to find an opportunity to kill Yan Shaozhe.

Even if Elder Mu blames him for this, he has to do it for the benefit of Shrek Academy.

Of course, based on his understanding of Yan Shaozhe, there are currently two problems with killing him.

First, it's difficult to find a good opportunity.

Secondly, the opponent possesses the Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul. Those who possess this type of Martial Soul have the ability to be reborn from the ashes, making them relatively difficult to kill.

Therefore, I must come up with a foolproof plan before taking action, and I must not leave such a traitor any way out.

In the underground world of Poseidon Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe felt the rich aura of light in the room and involuntarily took a deep breath, his expression softening slightly.

Generally speaking, the underground of the Sea God Pavilion has a total of 108 rooms, which encompass the cultivation environment suitable for all types of martial souls.

The room he was in was filled with an extremely pure and rich aura of light, which greatly helped his cultivation.

However, at this moment, his heart was still filled with dissatisfaction with Xuanzi.

To be honest, even now, he still doesn't understand the real reason why Xuanzi framed him.

However, for Yan Shaozhe, his distrust of Xuanzi had reached its highest level.

After all, Xuanzi dared to slander him in front of so many people today; he dared not even think about what Xuanzi might do tomorrow.

.......

Star Luo Empire.

Star City.

The clouds were as black as ink, and a torrential downpour descended from the sky, plunging the heavens into darkness. Suddenly, a thunderous roar swept across the sky, and blazing white lightning illuminated the raindrops that had fallen onto the palace steps and shattered into pieces.

In the magnificent palace, Xu Jiawei stood by the window, his face full of sorrow. He looked at the raindrops shattering into pieces, as if he could see the future of the Star Luo Empire being destroyed.

Behind him, Xu Jiujiu's face was also extremely ugly.

The reason was simple: the two received a message through their scouts that Shrek Academy had sent seven elders to attack the border between the Sun and Moon realms. However, they were ambushed by powerful Sun and Moon realm experts, and after losing two Super Douluo, the Shrek elders were forced to retreat in haste.

To be honest, since the emperors of the three kingdoms of Douluo had all informed Shrek Academy in advance, Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor, naturally knew that Shrek Academy would carry out a rescue operation.

Although he didn't know the full plan or the specific timing of the operation, Shrek Academy had already notified them that they would send elders to attack the border. However, he did not expect that Shrek Academy would suffer such a huge defeat at the border!

Those were two elders at the Super Douluo level, considered strong even within Shrek Academy. Yet they died in a single attack, proving that the Sun Moon Empire not only possesses a powerful intelligence system but also holds absolute dominance over Shrek Academy in terms of its skilled personnel.

"Brother, tell me, once war breaks out, how much of a chance do the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy have?" Xu Jiujiu moved lightly to the window and asked.

"What are the chances of winning?" Xu Jiawei's face showed a bitter smile. "Judging from the current situation, Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy may not be able to defeat the Sun Moon Empire at all."

Chapter 514 Xu Jiawei Seeking a Way Out

"However, as the Emperor of Star Luo, I must declare to my Star Luo subjects that the Star Luo Empire will absolutely not be defeated in the war against the Sun Moon Empire, in order to strengthen their confidence!"

After a long silence, she still found it hard to accept the fact. Although she knew in her heart that the Star Luo Empire had little chance of winning, she still hoped that her brother could reveal a trump card that she did not know about and tell her that the Star Luo Empire would definitely defeat the Sun Moon Empire.

But after hearing what Xu Jiawei said, she fell into disappointment. After all, judging from her brother’s words, wouldn’t the Star Luo Empire be doomed to defeat?

A damp, cold wind blew through the window, tousling her hair. She reached out and, while tidying her hair, said, "More than four thousand years ago, under the leadership of Shrek Academy, the Douluo Three Kingdoms defeated the Sun Moon Empire, crushing it underfoot. This was justice triumphing over evil."

As time has passed, even Shrek Academy can no longer contain the ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, compared to more than four thousand years ago, the strength of the Sun and Moon Empire has undergone earth-shattering changes.

If only Shrek Academy had led the three great empires to destroy the Sun Moon Empire more than four thousand years ago.

I wonder what our ancestors were thinking. Why didn't they take advantage of their superior position and destroy the evil Sun Moon Empire? If they had destroyed the Sun Moon Empire, perhaps we wouldn't be facing its problems today.

Xu Jiawei sighed, "For a long time, that's just an unrealistic hope. We have no way of knowing what those ancestors were thinking back then. We can only make the most of the present. After all, we live in the present, not in the past."

He paced back and forth, a thoughtful look on his face. Then he stopped, looked at Xu Jiujiu, and said, "By the way, Jiujiu, how is the exploration of the overseas continent that I asked you to arrange going?"

If we can truly find an overseas continent, it would be a fallback plan for us. Even if the Star Luo Empire loses the war, we can rebuild our nation on an overseas continent, and perhaps one day, we can make a comeback!

After all, the Sun and Moon Continent was once an overseas continent, and there may be other overseas continents in this world.

Xu Jiujiu paused for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Brother, as you know, the ocean is teeming with sea spirit beasts. Therefore, our sea voyage has not been very smooth. Even the fleet that has explored the farthest so far has not sent any news of discovering a new continent."

Xu Jiawei frowned slightly: "Don't be stingy with gold soul coins and resources. Increase investment in the ocean fleet, build better ships, and send more strong people to join the fleet to ensure its safety."

Given the current tense situation, it won't be long before the Sun Moon Empire launches a war that will sweep across the continent. We must find a way out as much as possible, so that even if we are defeated, the Star Luo Empire will not be completely destroyed, but can continue to exist on overseas continents.

"Brother, I will arrange this matter later." Xu Jiujiu nodded and agreed.

Xu Jiawei continued, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Within the empire, we must do everything we can to keep the news of the two Shrek Academy elders at the Super Douluo level being killed by Sun Moon experts, so as not to cause unrest. The empire needs stability."

After a long pause, he nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Brother, what if the news really can't be contained?"

Xu Jiawei said decisively, "Then declare it a false rumor!"

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Xu Jiujiu replied.

........

Water dungeon.

Tang Ya stared at the shattered underwater prison with a grim expression. She took a deep breath: "It seems that someone attacked the water prison and took all these hostages away. The attacker must be extremely powerful, otherwise there would have been no commotion at all."

I haven't seen the three Zhongli brothers yet; I suspect they're in grave danger. Fourth Elder, immediately send someone to notify the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps stationed here, requesting their assistance. Also, immediately mobilize other Soul Master Corps to help seal off the area around Sunrise City and capture the enemy!

As the Blue Silver Saintess, she always put the interests of the Holy Church first.
