Huo Yuhao remained calm, even wanting to laugh. Looking at the stubborn Xu Tianzhen, he said in a deep voice, "I remember you promised me last time that you would never interfere with my thoughts on love again, otherwise you would suffer even more severe punishment."
"No, I just wanted to take some actions to interfere with other women, I didn't interfere with your thoughts on love at all!"
Chapter 773 Shrek Special Meeting!
"In a sense, this is also meddling in my thoughts on love. After all, once you do what you want to do, it will definitely have a significant impact on my thoughts on love," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.
"You're just making excuses!" Xu Tianzhen felt the itching becoming increasingly unbearable, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Listening to Huo Yuhao's words, she felt that Huo Yuhao in front of her was extremely hateful.
"Soliciting excuses?" Huo Yuhao sighed. "It seems you still haven't realized your mistake. I and the others have worked hard to expand the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, yet you're thinking of severing any potential love between me and other women. This has truly chilled the heart of a loyal subject like myself!"
"You, a loyal minister?" Xu Tianzhen's eyes showed doubt. Although she acknowledged Huo Yuhao's contribution to expanding the territory, he was by no means a loyal minister.
What loyal subject would dare to rebel against his superior?
Shouldn't we just obediently follow the emperor's orders?
Seeing the doubt in the other person's eyes, Huo Yuhao silently increased the intensity of his tickling: "It seems that His Majesty is questioning my status as a loyal subject."
Soon, waves of itching sensations surged forth, relentlessly eroding Xu Tianzhen's reason, and her silvery screams echoed throughout the room.
"Loyal minister, you are a truly loyal minister! It was my slip of the tongue!" Xu Tianzhen couldn't take it anymore and chose to surrender directly, abandoning his previous arrogant attitude.
"Since I am a loyal subject, Your Majesty should heed my advice. Hmm... how about this: from now on, Your Majesty should spend more time on crafting soul tools every day. Every month, I will come to assess your soul tool crafting skills. There will be rewards for passing and punishments for failing." Huo Yuhao decided to find something for Xu Tianzhen to do.
As for the emperor's review of memorials, to be honest, Xu Tianzhen did a terrible job. During the time he was away from the palace, almost all the memorials were handed over to the cabinet members.
Xu Tianzhen initially refused, saying that as the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, how could he be tested by his subjects?
Then Huo Yuhao intensified his efforts, and she quickly became obedient, begging for mercy and expressing her willingness to accept the test.
.......
Shrek Academy.
Sea God Pavilion.
Mu En sat in the main seat, surrounded by Xuan Zi, Yan Shao Zhe, and Zhang Le Xuan.
Yan Shaozhe has temporarily emerged from seclusion and become a level 97 Super Douluo.
Zhang Lexuan also found a suitable spirit ring and became a titled Douluo. With her outstanding talent, she was quickly promoted by Mu En to a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion and served as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department.
During Yan Shaozhe's seclusion, the burden on her shoulders was undoubtedly heavier than usual.
Moon's gaze swept over the three men, then fell on the empty seats, and the images of the elders with their voices and smiles floated before his eyes.
In an instant, sorrow surged like a tide, engulfing his heart.
Even he never imagined that the once-powerful Shrek Academy would decline to such a state today.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone is already aware of the dire situation we are in now. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to deal with the powerful Sun and Moon Army."
Although it will take time for the Sun Moon Empire to digest the newly conquered Star Luo territories, with the help of the puppet Xu Jiujiu, this time will be greatly shortened. At that point, the Sun Moon army will be able to concentrate its efforts on continuing the war.
These words made the atmosphere inside the Sea God Pavilion even more oppressive.
Yan Shaozhe said sarcastically, "We should thank Elder Xuan, the great hero of the Sun Moon Empire, for bringing another victory to the Sun Moon army. If the Sun Moon Empire unifies the Douluo Continent in the future, Elder Xuan might be granted the title of Duke based on his achievements!"
boom!
Xuanzi slammed his fist on the table, his anger surging within him, and glared at Yan Shaozhe: "Yan Shaozhe, what are your intentions in saying such things?"
"Then what are your intentions in betraying Shrek elders and allied soldiers once again?" Yan Shaozhe retorted without any politeness.
"What do you mean by 'sabotage'? It's clearly because plans can't keep up with changes. Who would have thought that the renowned Di Tian would fail to stop Huo Yuhao from taking action, causing the battlefield situation to shift in a direction unfavorable to the allied forces!"
"Then why did you abandon Shixing and run away the moment you saw Huo Yuhao, without even fighting him?"
"That's to preserve as much manpower as possible. What if I also perish on the battlefield? How will we fight the rest of the war?"
"Hmph, Xuanzi, you are a pure Sun Moon spy infiltrating Shrek Academy. So many elders have died because of you. Even Ye Xishui, the evil soul master at the Limit Douluo level, couldn't do such a thing. You have every reason to be proud!"
"Yan Shaozhe, stop spouting nonsense. So what if you've advanced to level 97 Super Douluo? What gives you the right to swagger around here?" Xuanzi shouted.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, as if they were about to fight.
Zhang Lexuan was quite annoyed and was just about to speak up to smooth things over and try to get the meeting back on track when suddenly, Mu En's voice rang out in the Sea God Pavilion: "Alright! Stop arguing! Today's meeting is to discuss how to counter the Sun and Moon Army, not for you to quarrel!"
Hearing Mu En's words, Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi had no choice but to stop arguing.
"Le Xuan, you take the lead and tell us how we should deal with the Sun and Moon Army!" Mu En looked at Zhang Le Xuan.
Zhang Lexuan pondered and said, "The Sun and Moon Army is powerful. In terms of overall strength, we are at a disadvantage. Even if we choose to stay put and not come out, it will be difficult to resist them."
However, the Sun Moon Empire is currently in dire need of consolidating its newly acquired territories and will not wage war; in fact, this presents a good opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Ming capital!
"No, how can we launch a surprise attack on Mingdu?" Yan Shaozhe immediately jumped out to object, arguing vehemently, "Now that Ditian has become an ally, we should clearly find a way to overthrow Xu Jiujiu's rule, find Xu Jiawei, and let Xu Jiawei regain the throne."
Then, we must reclaim as much of the Star Luo territory as possible, push the battle lines back, and create a buffer zone for the academy to prevent the Sun Moon Army from rapidly advancing to Shrek City and threatening the academy's safety!
"Absurd!" Xuanzi snorted coldly and stood up from his chair. "I have accumulated rich experience in fighting against the Sun and Moon Army. In my opinion, we should not use the Star Luo Empire as a breakthrough point."
After all, the Sun Moon Army at the front lines is a tough nut to crack. As Yue Xuan suggested, Mingdu should be the breakthrough point. No matter what, Mingdu is the capital of the Sun Moon Empire; if it's attacked, the Sun Moon Army can't just stand by and do nothing!
Chapter 774 If we don't listen to you, Shrek Academy will perish? Hard to say!
"As long as the Sun Moon Army chooses to send a large number of Soul Master Corps back to defend, we can take this opportunity to create a time difference, allowing the people who attacked Mingdu to detour back to the academy. This will allow us to concentrate our forces to deal with the Sun Moon Army, whose strength at the front line has been greatly weakened, and deliver a head-on blow to the Sun Moon Army! In this way, we can recover a large amount of lost territory in Xingluo!"
As Xuanzi spoke, a look of absolute certainty appeared on his face.
Looking at Xuanzi, who was speaking eloquently, Mu En sighed and said, "Xuanzi, you can always show your talent in making plans at every meeting, but once your plans are put into practice, there are always big problems that lead to a disastrous defeat."
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately understood the resistance in Mu En's words. He immediately pleaded, "Elder Mu, please trust me one more time. If I cannot defeat the Sun and Moon Army this time, I will have no complaints no matter how you deal with me!"
Moon shook his head and sighed again.
In the past, he might have agreed to Xuanzi's plan directly. After all, although the plan was risky, the benefits would be immeasurable if it succeeded.
However, now that both the academy and the allied forces have stumbled so many times in Xuanzi's plans, suffered heavy losses, and are full of complaints, even giving him, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, a psychological trauma.
As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," he now dares not directly adopt Xuanzi's plan, for fear that the other party's plan will once again cause serious losses to his side.
“Shao Zhe’s plan is more prudent. Next, we should refine the details of this plan and make up for its shortcomings.” Mu En’s gaze fell on Yan Shao Zhe.
Having gained Mu En's approval, Yan Shaozhe smiled, like a rooster that had won a fight. He glanced at Xuanzi, whom he had once liked very much, after all, the other party was a powerful elder.
However, over the years, because of Xuanzi, he has experienced a series of painful things, so he now harbors a deep-seated hatred for Xuanzi. Moreover, to be honest, he subjectively believes that Xuanzi's plan is bound to go wrong, a lesson learned by many people through blood and tears.
In comparison, a plan you make yourself should have a much higher probability of success.
Further provoked, Xuanzi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Elder Mu, Yan Shaozhe's plan will only destroy the academy. For the sake of the academy's future, I implore you to abandon Yan Shaozhe's plan and instead implement my plan!"
Mu En frowned. In the past, once he made a decision, there would be no further dissent at the Sea God Pavilion meeting. But now Xuanzi was acting out of character, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
In fact, his dissatisfaction with Xuanzi had been long-standing. After all, Xuanzi had made far too many mistakes. In his opinion, even the most gentle person in history would not be indifferent to Xuanzi's wrongdoings if he were to take the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master.
He looked at Xuanzi and said, "Xuanzi, do you mean that if we don't listen to you, Shrek Academy will perish?"
Xuanzi, his neck stiff, boomed, "Hard to say!"
Mu En's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Enough, my mind is made up. We'll proceed according to Shao Zhe's plan!"
Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, his whole body trembling. He seemed to see the scene of Shrek Academy being drenched in blood and filled with wailing after Yan Shaozhe's plan was implemented.
After a long pause, he managed to utter a sentence:
"Old Mu, you'll regret this!"
“Xuanzi, I am the true master of the Sea God Pavilion!” Mu En glanced at Xuanzi.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the Sea God Pavilion instantly fell silent. The previous argument was like a pebble dropped into a lake, creating ripples that quickly subsided.
Mu En continued to discuss the details of the plan with Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Lexuan.
Xuanzi remained silent and did not offer any opinion.
Although he had been stripped of his status as a senior elder, his cultivation level of 98 Super Douluo made him second only to Mu En even within Shrek Academy. Therefore, he naturally had the right to participate in the Sea God Pavilion meeting and make suggestions at the meeting.
However, now that he knows Moon's will is unchangeable, he naturally gave up the idea of continuing to speak.
Finally, a complete plan was discussed at the Sea God Pavilion meeting and handed over to Zhang Lexuan, the newly appointed elder, for implementation.
The general outline of the plan is simply to first deploy more spies within the Star Luo territory, recruit people, and gather intelligence on the movements of powerful Sun and Moon cultivators, as well as the location of Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei.
Then, they contacted Ditian, with whom they had previously cooperated, to discuss a counterattack.
At the same time, people should be sent out to sea to search for the legendary Poseidon Island. If they successfully find the island, they might be able to bring in reinforcements.
As for the Clear Sky Sect, due to the previous agreement, they cannot take the initiative to contact them. Shrek Academy can only find out the location of the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate when the situation deteriorates to the point that Elder Tang Niu can no longer bear it.
As for Yan Shaozhe, after the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Mu En ordered him to continue his seclusion and cultivation to improve his cultivation level as much as possible.
Mu En has high expectations for Yan Shaozhe. If Yan Shaozhe can become a Limit Douluo, it will greatly alleviate the enormous pressure currently facing Shrek Academy.
........
"I think Elder Mu has also become confused. He actually believes Yan Shaozhe's plan but not mine. Elder Mu now is just like those emperors in history who were diligent and hardworking when they were in their prime, but became senile in their later years."
Xuanzi drank his wine, looking up at the distant azure sky, his thoughts churning like waves. "No matter what, I must find a way to save Shrek Academy, but now that Elder Mu is watching me, I have no way to leave the academy. Wait, being watched..."
Xuanzi fell into thought, and his breathing became rapid.
Mu En lay on the chair beside him, closing his eyes to rest, his breathing even. For a powerhouse of his level, even if his essence was damaged and he could not act casually, he could still easily sense the surrounding situation and naturally could perceive Xuan Zi's every move.
Xuanzi glanced at Mu En, a hint of struggle flashing across his face.
To be honest, although Elder Mu was a level 99 Limit Douluo, due to his physical condition, there was no possibility that the other party would attack him.
After all, the final opportunity for Old Master Mu to make a move should be left to the enemy, not himself.
Therefore, he could simply run away from the academy. Elder Mu would not dare to arrest him and bring him back, as that would be a fatal move.
But Elder Mu had clearly instructed him to stay obediently in the academy and not to leave without his permission.
After much deliberation, Xuanzi gritted his teeth, and bloodshot eyes began to appear.
"For the sake of the academy, I can endure any hardship, any fatigue, and bear any infamy. I'm sorry, Professor Mu!"
