When the incident occurred, Yan Shaozhe had asked Elder Mu what should be done.
Elder Mu's meaning was very clear.
Keep the news of Zhou Yi's expulsion secret, don't leak a single piece of information, and ensure that Teacher Fanyu could successfully return after completing his studies. However, an unexpected problem still arose.
Yan Shaozhe was filled with regret, thinking to himself that one misstep had led to a cascade of errors.
"He Caitou, are you saying that Fanyu was also betrayed by someone? Who exactly was it?"
Xian Lin'er had different thoughts from Yan Shaozhe; she was particularly sensitive to the word 'traitor.'
Similarly, the word 'traitor' also struck a chord in He Caitou's heart.
He said angrily, "It was Wang Dong. After listening to Teacher Fanyu's plan, he couldn't wait to inform the people from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, which led them to be prepared and resulted in Teacher Fanyu's failure to achieve his goal.
If only he had been caught, he could have dragged Qin Xiao down with him."
He Caitou still harbored some grudges when mentioning this matter.
Upon hearing He Caitou's words, everyone's faces were filled with surprise, "Wang Dong defected?"
As an upcoming talent from Shrek Academy, they were aware of Wang Dong.
"Wang Dong, how could he do something like this..."
Unlike the shock and astonishment of others, Yan Shaozhe felt as if an earthquake had occurred in his heart.
They knew more secrets, such as the fact that Wang Dong was from the Hao Tian Clan and was highly regarded by the clan's powerhouses.
Such a person could very likely become a leader within the Hao Tian Clan in the future.
The Hao Tian Clan had always remained hidden and out of sight, but Yan Shaozhe believed that was only because the time for their appearance had not come yet. If the Sun-Moon Empire were truly to conquer the entire Soul Land, could the Hao Tian Clan still stand by idly?
However, his thoughts now wavered.
No one knew whether the Hao Tian Clan might do something unexpected because of Wang Dong.
After all, Wang Dong had now allied himself with the Sun-Moon Empire.
A moment later, Xian Lin'er said, "Headmaster, I think the academy should dispatch enough strong forces to rescue Fanyu and our students who are imprisoned by the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy. I'm willing to lead the team to the Sun-Moon Empire to accomplish this task."
"And that traitor Wang Dong, I will also make him understand the price of betraying the academy and selling out his team and teacher."
She was determined.
Even if it meant flaying Wang Dong a thousand times over, she would not hesitate.
However.
Her words struck Yan Shaozhe's soft spot.
He cast a cold glance at Xian Lin'er, "At a time like this, don't add to the chaos."
Struck by lightning, Xian Lin'er said blankly, "How am I adding to the chaos?"
He scolded me...
He actually scolded me...
Xian Lin'er found this unacceptable.
Seeing her reaction, Yan Shaozhe inwardly sighed, thinking to himself it was indeed a cursed fate.
After taking a deep breath, he could only patiently say, "If things were really as simple as you imagine, that would be great. The Sun-Moon Empire, by daring to capture our people, has made preparations for a face-off with us. Moreover, they won't be unguarded; they might even have prepared traps waiting for us to attempt a rescue.
Moreover, without Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, our top fighting strength has sharply declined. There's simply no one who can move freely within the Sun-Moon Empire. The Sun-Moon Empire is now a dragon's lair and a tiger's den to us. Even if you went there, it would be a one-way trip."
Qian Duoduo also took Xian Lin'er's hand, "Lin'er, I think the headmaster is right. The Sun-Moon Empire is full of dangers, let's think this through in the long term."
Xian Lin'er shook off Qian Duoduo's hand with some disgust, "Qian Duoduo, haven't you been a yes-man for decades? Can't you have your own opinion for once?"
Qian Duoduo: "..."
Elder Zhuang sighed from the side, "Ah, has Shrek Academy truly reached the point where anyone can slaughter us at will?"
Not long ago, they were esteemed by three great empires, admired by countless Soul Masters, and more, with level 99, level 98 Titled Douluo powerhouses at the helm—a dominating force standing at the peak of Soul Land.
But now, they couldn't even rescue a few students...
He couldn't help thinking, was Shrek truly in its twilight?
Such a misfortune.
...
Facing his nemesis sparked extreme animosity, and Xuan Zi and Poison Not Dead had already begun their battle.
However, Xuan Zi had already been through several battles before this one, and both his Soul Power and will had been greatly depleted.
In contrast, Poison Not Dead was much more at ease.
In the face of Xuan Zi's attacks, he always managed to easily catch them and launch effective counterattacks.
As time passed, Xuan Zi gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"It seems Xuan Zi is going to lose."
From a distance, Qin Xiao also closely monitored the battle and movements of the two, and he could tell that Xuan Zi was consistently at a disadvantage.
The scale of victory was tilting toward Poison Not Dead.
As expected.
After five rounds, Poison Not Dead gained an absolute advantage.
He transformed into a green giant tens of meters tall, leaped into the air, and then fell like a meteor, landing accurately on Xuan Zi, who had transformed into the Gluttonous Sacred Bull, heavily pinning him to the ground.
"Moo moo moo..."
The Gluttonous Sacred Bull struggled and cried out in pain, but all was in vain.
Poison Not Dead, like a towering mountain, firmly suppressed Xuan Zi beneath him. With his free hands, he continually bent over to pound his fists onto the body of the Gluttonous Sacred Bull.
Boom boom boom.
The force showered down on the earth, which could not withstand it, causing cracks to form.
Even though Xuan Zi was a peak level 98 powerhouse, his life force quickly faded under each of Poison Not Dead's punches.
