บท 2154: Chapter 2108: Declaration of War (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

The next day, the federation issued an order declaring war on the Xingluo Empire, and the situation instantly tensed up…

Shrek Inner Court!

Xie Xie smacked his lips and said, "This morning, the Douluo Federation seems to have officially declared war on the Xingluo Empire. The war is about to come!"

Ye Xinglan frowned, "Haven't the relations between the two been lukewarm all along? Why would the federation declare war on Xingluo Empire out of the blue?"

Yue Zhengyu added, "It seems to be because a team from the federation was attacked within the territory of the Xingluo Empire, and yet the current emperor has not come forward to explain, leading to this deterioration!"

Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "Ah, Yun'er, I don't know what your brother is thinking. Just a clarification to the federation would have completely changed the situation."

Dai Yun'er pursed her lips and said word by word, "No, there must have been an incident with my brother, and that's why he couldn't come forward!"

It must be the work of those Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters!

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity, "If war really breaks out, Yun'er, have you decided which side you will help?"

Dai Yun'er's identity was that of a princess of the Xingluo Empire, but now, she was also a part of Soul Land…

Dai Yun'er was stunned, hesitated and said, "I…"

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue helplessly, "Gu Yue, it's not the time for jokes!"

He then turned to Dai Yun'er and comforted her, "Yun'er, don't worry. Under the current circumstances, the academy will definitely not allow the war to happen, so they will surely do their utmost to prevent it!"

Just then, a female voice rang out from beside them, "That's right, regarding this matter, the academy indeed has no intention of sitting idly by."

It was none other than Shen Yi!

Everyone spoke up in unison, "Teacher Shen!"

Shen Yi nodded as a gesture and then commanded, "Shrek Seven Monsters, and Princess Dai Yun'er of Xingluo Empire, you all head to Sea God's Pavilion immediately!"

Although somewhat puzzled, Tang Wulin and the others headed towards Sea God's Pavilion without any hesitation…

Shen Yi glanced over at Gu Yue who was still standing in place and asked with curiosity, "Gu Yue, why aren't you going with them?"

Gu Yue first showed a glimpse of surprise, then chuckled, "Teacher Shen, I'm not one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, am I?"

Shen Yi slapped her forehead, "Right, I almost forgot you are the designated successor of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"However, it's just as well, because I have something to discuss with you, which Elder Cai specifically asked for!"

Gu Yue didn't respond but gave her an inquiring look…

Shen Yi continued to speak, "Elder Cai wants you to go back to the Spirit Pagoda and, as the Young Tower Master, persuade the Lord of the Cold Tower and the Council Members not to get involved in this upcoming war!"

"As for the Tang Sect, the academy will send someone to notify them."

Gu Yue nodded slightly, "I understand, but I'm not sure if I can convince the Pagoda Master and the others!"

…

Sea God's Pavilion!

Long Yeyue, seated in the main seat, saw the arrival of Tang Wulin and the others and calmly said, "You have arrived, find a seat and sit down."

Feeling hesitant, Tang Wulin replied, "Elder Long, that wouldn't be proper, would it? Aren't the seats reserved for the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion? We'll stand!"

They weren't official members of Sea God's Pavilion yet!

Long Yeyue shook her head, "It's fine. You are the future Sea God Pavilion Master, and your companions are the successors of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion. It's all just a matter of time!"

Tang Wulin "This..."

Xu Sheng spoke softly, "Since Elder Long has already said so, don't be too restrained. Please, take a seat!"

Wu Changkong also said, with an expressionless face, "Yes, sit down quickly, let's not delay everyone's time!"

Not long ago, his soul power rank had broken through to become a Super Douluo of level ninety-five. Under Turbid World's recommendation, he had obtained an official position as an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion!

With the conversation reaching this point, Tang Wulin and the others did not say much further. They quickly found a seat at the side and listened attentively...

It was only then that Elder Long spoke, "I believe all of you are already aware of the Douluo Federation officially declaring war on the Xingluo Empire. This is really too rash!"

Cai Yue'er nodded in agreement, "Yes! Starting a war at this critical moment is definitely not a wise choice!"

Feng Wu Yu sounded coldly with a "humph", "The federation did not investigate the whole matter thoroughly. They declared war just because the emperor of the Xingluo Empire didn't show up, fearing there might be chess pieces placed by the Holy Spirit Cult within our ranks!!"

Turbid World propped up his chin, "Hmm, there's also that surviving high-ranking federation official from the attack. We can't fully trust what he said because… all the powerful individuals in the team died, so how could he, being weaker, return to Soul Land unscathed!"

Ya Li pursed her soft, tender lips and spoke in an ethereal tone, "But... this high-ranking federation official has confirmed the collaboration between the Xingluo Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult! He must have seen something!"

At this moment, Dai Yun'er interrupted, "Sorry, Elders, I know I shouldn't interject, but I still want to express my opinion!"

"Is it possible that the memories of this high-ranking federation official have been altered by an evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

This remark instantly caused the pupils of the Elders to flicker...

Cai Yue'er squinted her eyes and said, "We can't rule out that possibility. Perhaps the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master spared his life precisely to alter his memory and thus slander the Xingluo Empire!"

Wu Changkong coldly said, "If his memory was altered, all we need to do is examine his Sea of Consciousness to see whether it has been damaged. Then all will be made clear!"

"After all, tampering with a Soul Master's memory, even for an Ultimate Douluo, is bound to damage the integrity of the Sea of Consciousness!"

Tang Yinmeng murmured, "But the people of the federation should be aware of this, and they might have conducted a full check-up on him immediately, finding nothing unusual!"

Lan Muzi could only give a wry smile, "The schemes and tricks of the Holy Spirit Cult really are headache-inducing!"

Long Yeyue's gaze then turned towards Xu Sheng, "Elder Xu, it looks like you will need to make a trip to the federation!"

Originally, they had wanted Wu Changkong to go, but his strength was not enough to deter the federation!

Xu Sheng did not refuse, "Alright!"

At the same time, Dai Yun'er suddenly stood up, her gaze firm, "May I know if I may accompany you to the Douluo Federation?"

As Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, she would not allow her country to be slandered by others!

This scene made Xie Xie and others beside her feel a tingling scalp, reminding her in a low voice, "Yun'er, this is a Sea God's Pavilion meeting, not a chat session!"

"Sit down quickly, don't interrupt the Elders' deliberations!"

"If the Elders get angry later, the consequences could be very serious!!"

But Dai Yun'er acted as if she hadn't heard, her eyes fixed intently on Long Yeyue, "Elder Long, I beg of you!"

Seeing this, Long Yeyue did not become annoyed either, but instead reassured, "As the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, I can understand your feelings. Go ahead and accompany Elder Xu!"

Dai Yun'er's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, Elder Long, I won't cause any trouble for Elder Xu!"
