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

"You are all insightful individuals, among the first in Shrek City to surrender to the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire will not treat you unfairly!"

However, I must clarify one point: the current leader of the Sea God Pavilion is still Yan Shaozhe. If Yan Shaozhe is unwilling to surrender, then your surrender may have to be less certain.

Upon hearing these words, those who had voluntarily surrendered to the Sun Moon Empire suddenly understood the hidden meaning in Huo Yuhao's words.

So they began to persuade Yan Shaozhe, using a variety of words in turn:

"Sect Master Yan, let's surrender to the Sun Moon Empire, for the sake of everyone in Shrek City, okay? You don't want to see everyone die under the Sun Moon Soul Masters' cannon fire, do you?"

“Sect Master Yan, with the Sun and Moon Army pressing in, Shrek Academy is doomed. You should prioritize the greater good. I believe Elder Mu, in heaven, can understand all the decisions you made for the sake of the greater good!”

Hearing these words, Yan Shaozhe's face showed bitterness. He looked at Huo Yuhao, trying to bargain:

"Huo Yuhao, I'll commit suicide later, and you'll accept everyone's surrender, how about that?"

He really didn't want Shrek Academy's already terrible reputation to decline further, so he came up with this plan. In this way, he could salvage some of Shrek Academy's reputation by sacrificing himself.

Huo Yuhao saw through Yan Shaozhe's thoughts.

He immediately shook his head and said:

"Yan Shaozhe, I don't want you to bargain with me. If you don't agree to my conditions, I think you know very well what will happen next."

If you still consider yourself the master of the Sea God Pavilion, you should think more about what truly matters to you. I must remind you, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao are currently being pampered with good food and drink and are perfectly safe and sound.

Upon hearing these words, Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, his body trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth as if he wanted to crush and swallow all the humiliation.

A low, resentful, and painful voice suddenly rang out, echoing in everyone's ears:

"I, Yan Shaozhe, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, surrender to the Sun Moon Empire. I beg Prime Minister Huo to show leniency and spare everyone in Shrek City!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.

The new Sea God Pavilion Master's surrender to the Sun Moon Empire will undoubtedly severely damage Shrek Academy's reputation, enhance his prestige, and facilitate his collection of faith power.

So he said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Yan is a man of discernment who knows what is important and what is not. Why don't we open the city gates now and welcome the Sun and Moon Army?"

"Open the city gates!"

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, and at the same time, his voice, which was mixed with soul power, echoed across the battlefield, and everyone could hear it clearly.

A moment later, accompanied by a roar, the massive gates of Shrek City slowly opened, and the Sun and Moon Army, at Huo Yuhao's signal, slowly entered Shrek City.

A group of Sun and Moon soldiers entered the city, talking as they went:

"Many residents are welcoming our arrival. I've seen many people waving the flags of our Sun Moon Empire. It seems they feel grateful for Prime Minister Huo's kindness!"

"Huh, just as I thought. This thing must have been prepared in advance, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to be produced so quickly. It seems Shrek Academy is unpopular. Could it be that our Sun Moon Empire has considerable prestige in Shrek City?"

In their view, a large number of residents did indeed come out of their homes, many waving the flags of the Sun and Moon Empire, their faces filled with excitement.

Huo Yuhao also noticed this phenomenon and keenly discerned the conversation among the group of Sun and Moon soldiers, which inevitably stirred some emotions within him:

"Prestige? The biggest characteristic of this group is that they help whoever wins. Now that the Sun Moon Empire has won, they will naturally cheer for the Sun Moon Empire. If Shrek Academy had won, then this group would be cheering for Shrek!"

Inside the golden tree.

Moon's inner pain deepened once again.

He knew very well that the best way to reduce the losses of Shrek City and save the Shrek students imprisoned by the Sun Moon Empire was to surrender to the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, Yan Shaozhe's choice was undoubtedly correct.

However, seeing the Sun and Moon Army enter Shrek City with his own eyes was like seeing a group of robbers enter his own home, and that feeling naturally made him quite uncomfortable.

"If Huo Yuhao were a student of Shrek Academy, the academy would never have fallen to this state. What a pity..." Mu En sighed inwardly.

......

Shrek Daily.

A group of people are racking their brains for today's newspaper headlines.

To be honest, in order to discredit the Sun Moon Empire and strengthen the confidence of everyone in Shrek City in resisting the Sun Moon Empire, they produced various newspapers and gave them all sorts of headlines.

As time went by, headlines such as "Monsters from the Sun and Moon Empire are besieging Shrek City" and "The despicable Sun and Moon traitors intend to attack the city" have become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

However, as the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court.

Even Yan Shaozhe, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, chose to surrender. Now, the sky hanging over everyone's heads has naturally changed from Shrek Academy to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Under these circumstances, Shrek News could no longer slander the Sun Moon Empire; instead, it should lavish praise on the Sun Moon Empire, especially praising specific individuals within it.

After all, everyone at the newspaper needs to make a living, and they certainly can't afford to offend the Sun Moon Empire right now. So they have to show their loyalty to avoid being purged by the Sun Moon Empire.

Soon, someone had already drafted the headline: "The supreme Prime Minister Ho arrives today in his loyal Shrek City!"

Chapter 825 If, after becoming the tower master, one still has to do everything personally, then wouldn't being the tower master be a waste of time?

Some people have even come up with headlines like, "Give them a break, Prime Minister Fok's kindness is never-ending!"

Newspaper headlines like these were constantly compiled by newspaper members and placed on the pages of the newspaper.

As for the content of the newspapers, they were basically criticizing Shrek Academy and praising the Sun Moon Empire.

The newspaper staff showered Huo Yuhao, who led his troops into the city, with praise, almost calling him a sun walking among humans.

..........

The once bustling Shrek Academy is now deserted and eerily quiet.

A bleak autumn wind swept by, and several blood-red leaves twirled and flew, eventually settling slowly on the lake's surface, creating ripples that gradually dissipated.

Suddenly, several figures rushed into Shrek Academy.

Before long, they arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake. As they swept across the lake, invisible waves surged, like several sharp swords cutting through the water, accompanied by a splashing sound and a large amount of water churning and leaping.

The group crossed the lake and arrived at an island. The surrounding area was filled with tall trees, pavilions and towers, and thick fog.

So the group continued on their way.

Soon, breaking through the white mist, a towering tree radiating golden light came into view.

A three-story building rose from the ground, as if it had grown out of this giant tree.

Above the entrance of the small building is a plaque with three large, elegant characters written on it: "Sea God Pavilion".

A rich aura of light and life washes over you, giving you a feeling of peace and tranquility.

"Master Tower, is this the ancient golden tree you mentioned earlier?"

Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

It was the first time he had ever seen such a tree, and he was inevitably surprised, a feeling of unreality welling up within him.

"Yes, it is the Golden Tree. The Shrek people used the Golden Tree as the basis to carve the Sea God Pavilion. However, from today onwards, this pavilion belongs to the Sun Moon Empire!"

Huo Yuhao nodded, his expression calm.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the plaque:

"Go, take down the plaque of the Sea God Pavilion. From now on, this place will be used to reward those who have made meritorious contributions to their cultivation. Anyone who has made meritorious contributions can exchange them for contribution points. As long as they have enough contribution points, they can get the opportunity to cultivate here!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yiheng swiftly rushed forward and took down the plaque.

At the same time, he asked with some doubt, "Tower Master, you said this place can be used to reward those who have made meritorious contributions in their cultivation?"

He understood the contribution, but his knowledge of the Golden Ancient Tree was not deep, so naturally he had doubts.

The others also looked at Huo Yuhao with puzzled expressions.

Huo Yuhao patiently explained:

"Of course it can be used to assist in cultivation. This golden tree is the foundation of Shrek Academy. There are a total of 108 rooms underground. The internal environment of these 108 rooms is different, and it covers almost all types of martial soul cultivation environments."

For Soul Masters, cultivating in such an environment naturally yields twice the results with half the effort.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with surprise and delight.

"No wonder Shrek Academy has been able to suppress Sun Moon Academy in the competition for so many years. It seems that in addition to relying on the high-quality students provided by Douluo Three Kingdoms, it is also inseparable from the Golden Ancient Tree."

The higher-ups at Shrek Academy keep boasting about their advanced educational methods and philosophies, claiming they've produced a large number of outstanding students. That's utter nonsense! With the Golden Tree and top-tier students, any other academy could produce excellent students!

"With this golden ancient tree, the Sun Moon Empire will surely prosper even more, and in the future, powerful Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire will surely spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!"

"Thanks to the Tower Master's divine power, otherwise this golden ancient tree would still belong to that damned Shrek Academy!"

Hearing everyone's words, Huo Yuhao smiled. He looked at Ju Zi and instructed her, "Ju Zi, you still need to keep an eye on the matter of exchanging merits for contribution points."

As the tower's master, it's impossible for him to do everything personally.

Before becoming the tower master, he did everything himself.

If someone becomes the tower master and still does everything personally, then what's the point of being the tower master?

“Okay!” Orange nodded. “I will discuss this matter with some people and come up with a suitable exchange ratio and rules as soon as possible to ensure that the exchange of merit for contribution points proceeds in an orderly manner.”

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

At this moment, Orange raised a question: "By the way, Yuhao, you said before that you had a way at Shrek Academy to prevent Moon's soul from acting, so what about Moon's soul now...?"

She stopped mid-sentence, a look of worry on her face.

Although with Huo Yuhao's current strength, he has no fear of Mu En's soul.

However, no matter what, this is still a problem, and if possible, she still hopes to get rid of it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You all go ahead and explore the Sea God Pavilion. I will deal with Mu En's soul myself."

Upon hearing this, the others entered the Sea God Pavilion, while Huo Yuhao remained outside. He transmitted his voice to the Golden Ancient Tree: "Release Mu En's soul!"

"Yes, Lord Yuhao." The voice of the Golden Ancient Tree echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

The next moment, a golden light shield appeared and flew towards Huo Yuhao, and within the golden light shield, Mu En's soul was imprisoned.

At this moment, Moon looked on in disbelief.

Although he didn't understand why he suddenly emerged from the Golden Tree, it was clear that Huo Yuhao was involved.

He glared at Huo Yuhao and directly accused him: "Huo Yuhao, I don't know what you did to the Golden Tree, but leading the Sun Moon Army to occupy Shrek City is simply a betrayal of the White Tiger blood in your veins..."

Before he could finish speaking, a portal to the dead appeared behind him and swallowed him whole.

Huo Yuhao had no time to waste words with Mu En. He had killed Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui and taken over Shrek Academy, so his relationship with Mu En was now irreconcilable.

Given Moon's personality, he certainly wouldn't give me a pleasant look; he probably wished he could tear me to pieces.
