章 167: All of them are Old six
In the VIP seats, Emperor Xue Ye wore a grim expression.
Typically, incidents like this would be handled by the Heaven Dou royal family, but he remained unmoved.
If this involved any other academy, Xue Ye would have put a stop to it long ago.
But this concerned the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Every emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire also serves as the principal of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
That is why he had yet to end this charade.
The actions of Shrek Academy and Qin Ming had truly angered this emperor.
And his anger was only growing...
"Good, very good!"
"Dare to threaten the pillar of my Heaven Dou Empire!"
Xue Ye narrowed his eyes and muttered softly.
His anger had reached its peak; Qin Ming would not survive the night!
The three Education Committee members were not just faculty of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; they were also Xue Ye's most trusted aides!
If not, how could he possibly entrust such an important institution to these three?
Only a select few heard Xue Ye's low voice.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Salas remained impassive; if they were in Xue Ye's position, they would have made the same choice.
Qin Ming might be a traitor, but they had to admit he was talented.
This traitor was, on the surface, the second-youngest Soul Emperor! Or maybe third because one more soul emperor is hidden from public eyes.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy had promoted him greatly, which gave him such influence.
Salas' gaze shifted, glancing at Xue Ye, then at Qin Ming, who was blushing on the arena below, and he fell into thought.
Shrek Academy had Ning Fengzhi's daughter.
No need to guess why Ning Fengzhi sent Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy.
Because there were remnants of the Clear Sky Clan there.
And a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After thinking briefly, Salas shook his head.
If Qin Ming weren't with Shrek Academy, and hadn't developed "connections" with members of the Upper Three Sects...
Then, rescuing him and having him serve the Spirit Hall wouldn't have been out of the question.
Qin Ming was a genius, with potential to reach Title Douluo.
But his ties with the Upper Three Sects made him expendable.
If they all died, it wouldn't be a loss.
"Should we move against Shrek Academy and frame the Heaven Dou royal family?"
Salas was no ordinary man to have risen to the position of a platinum bishop and head of the Spirit Hall.
Had it not been a matter of great importance, he would have already made the decision himself.
The Royal Knights hesitated as well, not knowing what to do without Emperor Xue Ye's command.
This explained why no one had ended the spectacle thus far.
At that moment, a young girl with a frosty expression approached the arena.
Her appearance left everyone momentarily stunned.
"Xiao Feilian?"
"She..."
"Wait, isn't Xiao Feilian the chief disciple of the three Education Committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and also their heir?"
"Not only that, she's... she's the Holy Maiden of the Body Sect!"
Everyone swallowed nervously, and the once-chaotic arena fell completely silent.
Meng Shenji froze, just about to say something, his mouth slightly open, words caught in his throat.
The atmosphere of anger dissipated instantly.
"My dear disciple..."
The three elder committee members exchanged a look, eyes filled with both pride and a shake of their heads.
It was enough that Xiao Feilian had the heart to act, but her status was too sensitive; her involvement might have major repercussions.
"Oh, my precious disciple, what are you getting involved in here!"
Meng Shenji moved quickly, for he was a powerful Soul Doulou.
Before Xiao Feilian could speak, he was already in front of her, smiling with pride.
"With a disciple like this, what more could I ask for?"
"Master, that man's arrogance is outrageous; there's no need for you to step in…" Xiao Feilian said earnestly.
Someone had challenged her master to a life-or-death duel in front of her. How could she not respond? To deal with Qin Ming, Xiao Feilian was fully confident.
Before she could finish, Meng Shenji waved his hand, cutting her off. "Xiao Chi Yu, it's enough that you have the intention."
"Your Master is still an eighty-seventh-level Soul Douluo. Handling a traitor like him is more than within my capabilities!"
Thanks to his treasured disciple, Meng Shenji could smile even in his sleep! Recently, he had even broken through a level of soul power, advancing from level eighty-six to eighty-seven.
At that moment, the Shrek team felt a chill down their spines, breaking out in cold sweat.
It wasn't because of Meng Shenji, but rather the younger Xiao Feilian—her status was simply too unique.
She was the Holy Maiden of the Body Sect, that group of lunatics! And likely the future leader of the Body Sect herself!
Even if Qin Ming could defeat Xiao Feilian, should she choose to pursue him and Shrek to the end, and the Body Sect decided to intervene directly…
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Besides, Meng Shenji wasn't someone to take lightly either. Even without the backing of the Heaven Dou Empire, he alone could summon the strength of three Soul Douluo.
What did Shrek have to counter that?
While Shrek did have connections to the Upper Three Sects, would Ning Fengzhi or Yu Yuanzhen risk offending both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Body Sect for an "outsider"?
Clearly, that was impossible.
As for the Clear Sky Clan, as long as that particular figure remained alive, they would not dare easily leave their mountain, fearing complete annihilation.
Though they roared fiercely, the Clear Sky Clan was only tough on the surface, preying on the weak. When push came to shove, they had no qualms about abandoning their allied sects.
Meng Shenji's cold laugh echoed—this so-called "ten-year pact"? Did Qin Ming think he was in some heroic tale?
He'd make sure Qin Ming wouldn't live to see the sun tomorrow. To hell with the ten-year pact.
Young people, with such naive dreams!
As for Shrek, killing them all would be problematic. He would deal with them as the situation demanded.
With the power of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, if they disregarded the forces associated with Shrek, wiping them out would be effortless.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others exchanged glances, at a loss for what to do.
They had never imagined that a single heated exchange would escalate to this level.
Although Meng Shenji kept his composure, the murderous intent in his eyes was nearly tangible! Beneath his seemingly kind exterior, this old man was clearly no simple character.
"What should we do?"
"That old man harbors killing intent toward Senior Qin Ming."
Tang San endured the pain from his damaged spirit bone, mulling it over silently.
Qin Ming was one of their own. Despite his bias, he had always been loyal to Shrek Academy.
"But Father isn't here, and the dean and vice-dean won't be able to hold off even one, let alone potentially three, Soul Douluo-level powerhouses!"
"If we could call Tai Tan over and use the spirit fusion skill that Teacher leads, we might still have a chance to protect Senior Qin Ming."
