Originally, the Holy Spirit Cult planned to cooperate with Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire. After helping him gain control of all the power in the Sun Moon Empire, they would then make the Holy Spirit Cult the national religion of the Sun Moon Empire.
With an official identity, the Holy Spirit Cult would have cover for whatever they did.
But what they didn't expect was that, because the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire recovered his health and regained control, he swiftly dealt with everything.
He took back the inheritance rights of the princes, completely establishing Xu Tianran's position as heir, making it known to everyone that the next Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire could only be Xu Tianran.
This made Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu very angry, but they were also helpless.
Because the Holy Spirit Cult's main base was within the Sun Moon Empire, they knew better than anyone just how terrifying the Sun Moon Empire's power was.
Especially after learning that Kong Deming had advanced to the Super Douluo level, and with the aid of soul guiding devices, could even completely suppress Mu En, an old, veteran Limit Douluo, the Holy Spirit Cult gave up on the idea of seizing the Sun Moon Empire.
According to the intelligence they had received, among the original Douluo three countries, the Heavenly Soul Empire was likely backed by the Body Sect, and the Star Luo Empire also had many Super Douluo powerhouses. Only the Heaven Spirit Empire was easy to bully, so the Holy Spirit Cult naturally targeted the Heaven Spirit Empire.
While Zhongli Wu and Long Xiaoyao went to Shrek City to seize Ma Xiaotao, Ye Xishui also led the rest of the Holy Spirit Cult to the Heaven Spirit Empire. Their goal was to take complete control of the empire before they could react.
Zhongli Wu was well aware that with his mother, Ye Xishui, a Limit Douluo, taking action, the Heaven Spirit Empire would be unable to escape the grasp of their Holy Spirit Cult.
From then on, the Holy Spirit Cult, which had been hiding its identity to avoid trouble, could transform itself. By becoming the national religion of the Heaven Spirit Empire, they would become one of the top powers on the continent!
Thinking of how their Holy Spirit Cult could sweep across the entire Douluo Continent in the future, Zhongli Wu's body began to tremble slightly with excitement.
Seeing his behavior, Xuan Zi truly wished he could punch his head in right now!
These evil soul masters, who should have been hiding like rats in the gutter, had appeared openly in front of Shrek Academy. They even threatened them, demanding they hand over the genius Ma Xiaotao. When had Shrek Academy ever suffered such humiliation?
However, after Mu En's warning, no matter how angry Xuan Zi was, no matter how much he hated Zhongli Wu, he could only watch him gloat in front of him, suppressing the rage in his heart.
Zhongli Wu also sensed Xuan Zi's dissatisfaction, but instead of restraining himself, he looked at Tang Ya with a smile and asked.
"Tang Ya, who forced you onto this path when you didn't choose to become an evil soul master?"
Tang Ya's gaze swept across the high-ranking officials of Shrek. Her eyes were cold, and there was no emotional fluctuation in her words.
"Mu En, Yan Shaozhe, or rather, everyone from Shrek Academy!"
Zhongli Wu watched Xuan Zi with amusement, teasing him.
"Did you hear that, Xuan Zi? The reason Tang Ya chose to become an evil soul master, to become our Holy Spirit Cult's Saintess, is all thanks to you high-ranking members of Shrek Academy."
"Even Ma Xiaotao, this new Saintess, is also thanks to your nurturing at Shrek! Both of our Holy Spirit Cult's Saintesses were cultivated by you, Shrek. Why don't we just make the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek partners?"
"In the future, if there are any talented individuals suitable for becoming evil soul masters, you, Shrek, can cultivate them for us first. When their strength reaches a certain level, we'll have them join our Holy Spirit Cult. What do you think?"
Xuan Zi's breath became ragged after hearing these words. His clenched fists made cracking sounds, and his eyes had turned red at some point. The hatred in his eyes towards Zhongli Wu was almost tangible.
"Get lost!"
"Zhongli Wu! One day, Shrek Academy will definitely destroy your damned Holy Spirit Cult!"
It wasn't just Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo who were furious, but also Xian Liner, Cai Meier, and the elder members of the Poseidon Pavilion. If Mu En hadn't already agreed to hand over Ma Xiaotao and make the Holy Spirit Cult stop, they would have already been fighting these guys again.
Zhongli Wu, however, acted as if he didn't see them, continuing to provoke and enrage them while also rubbing salt in Shrek Academy's wounds.
"Really? Destroy the Holy Spirit Cult? With you lot? Or Mu En, that Limit Douluo who's already half in the grave? Haven't you considered what will happen to Shrek after Mu En passes away?"
"Although we of the Holy Spirit Cult were the first to cause trouble for you at Shrek, you should also be aware that other top-tier powers have long been coveting Shrek, waiting for Mu En's death to be the first to carve up Shrek!"
Zhongli Wu's words silenced all of Shrek's high-level officials.
Of course, they knew these things!
Over the years, no one knew better than they did how much hatred Shrek had accumulated.
Not to mention Shrek taking in the Dai Clan, and Mu En killing Du Bisi, the most crucial thing was, during the beast tide and the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy's response that was met with a hundred responses. The original Douluo three countries and the Body Sect were probably eager to destroy Shrek! Once Mu En died, relying on Xuan Zi, the extremely unreliable Super Douluo, and the likes of Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, could they really protect Shrek?
That was obviously impossible.
So, how exactly was Shrek Academy going to survive this crisis?
Were they really considering doing what Zhongli Wu suggested and forming an alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult?
Even Zhongli Wu hadn't expected that some of the high-ranking members of Shrek Academy would actually contemplate such a thing!
An alliance between Shrek and the Holy Spirit Cult?
Zhongli Wu had the audacity to suggest it, and these elders actually considered it!
If Mu En were here, seeing the elders' brains had regressed to this degree, he'd probably want to die.
How could they revitalize Shrek while stuck in the Poseidon Pavilion with such insects?
Fortunately, before the elders could voice their thoughts, Mu En reappeared, instantly making them abandon the idea.
Zhongli Wu watched Ma Xiaotao, who was still unconscious and suspended in the air by Long Xiaoyao's soul power, and his mood instantly lifted.
The golden light emanating from Mu En's body, which came from the Golden Ancient Tree, gradually dissipated, returning to the tree's massive form. He looked like he'd aged several decades. He wearily waved a hand and, after deeply examining Long Xiaoyao and Ma Xiaotao, he...
"You can go."
Since he had fulfilled his promise to Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao wouldn't waste any time. He needed to return and be with Ye Xishui.
However, before leaving, Tang Ya suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Mu En. Her red lips parted as she spoke, word by word.
"Mu En! I hope you live a long life, long enough to see me return to Shrek City."
"Because the day I return here, is the day Shrek is utterly destroyed! I want you to witness firsthand how I will destroy Shrek!"
