Chapter 133 It's all a conspiracy by the Spirit Pagoda
"Spirit Pagoda, I, Long Yeyue, swear that I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"
Long Yeyue gritted her teeth and said, then, looking at Yun Ming and Zang Xin's bewildered expressions, she said with a hint of exasperation, "Don't you understand yet? This is all a conspiracy from beginning to end! Whether it was the nightmare that affected nearly 100,000 people in Shrek City, or the sudden attack by that black dragon just now, it was all a vicious scheme laid by the Spirit Pagoda to weaken our Shrek Academy!"
Her soul power surged unconsciously, the interplay of light and darkness causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly: "They first used the nightmare incident as a pretext to lure out our Shrek Academy's top combat forces to investigate, diverting our attention!"
"Once all our attention is focused on the nightmare incident outside the city, we'll use some unknown means to lure that quasi-god-level black dragon into the academy to cause chaos! This step-by-step, interconnected operation—who else could it be but the Spirit Pagoda?"
Yes, Long Yeyue has "enlightened"!
Upon waking up and seeing the devastation at the academy, her mind raced, and her "world-shaking wisdom" was activated.
All the seemingly unrelated fragments, through her deduction, were pieced together into irrefutable evidence pointing to the Spirit Pagoda.
First and foremost was that nightmarish incident that plagued Shrek City.
The Sea God Pavilion held a special meeting on this matter and concluded that: to cause nearly 100,000 people to fall into nightmares silently, the perpetrator must have at least the cultivation level of a Super Douluo, mental strength no less than that of the Spirit Domain Realm, and extremely high attainments in the spiritual realm.
And the Spirit Pagoda happens to have just such a person!
One of the thirty-six councilors of the Spirit Pagoda, a level 98 Super Douluo, the Illusion Brain Douluo Han Tianyi!
Just by hearing the title "Phantom Brain," one can tell that his martial spirit is closely related to his mental strength.
Decades ago, Han Tianyi's spiritual cultivation had already reached the peak of the Spirit Realm, and his expertise in mental interference and illusion creation was among the best on the continent.
If it were truly him who made the move, coupled with the cover provided by the Spirit Pagoda's covert operations in Shrek City, creating a large-scale, casualty-free nightmare would be no difficult task.
More importantly, there's the "evidence"!
Those ordinary people merely had nightmares; none of them died, a stark contrast to the ruthless killing style of evil spirit masters.
Long Yeyue deduced that the Spirit Pagoda was afraid to let things get out of control, so they could only use nightmares to disturb people's hearts and disperse Shrek's forces.
At the same time, her image can haunt nightmares, disgust and humiliate her, and avenge her old grudge against the Spirit Pagoda when she was young!
As for the black dragon Acnologia, whose origins were unknown, Ryuu Yotsuki also found a "reasonable" explanation.
The Spirit Pagoda headquarters has been researching soul beasts for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. Who knows if they have secretly developed methods to control or guide high-level soul beasts?
The most compelling evidence is the location where the black dragon appeared—the inner gate of Shrek Academy!
Shrek City is divided into inner and outer cities. The outer city has layers of security checks and soul-guided defense arrays, while the inner city is even more heavily guarded.
That black dragon has such a high-profile and flamboyant personality that if it were to force its way in from the outer city, it would surely trigger countless alarms. It would be impossible for it to appear silently at the inner city gate.
The only possibility is that the people from the Spirit Pagoda were secretly covering for them, using some means to shield them from the detection of the defensive array, allowing the black dragon to appear directly in the core area of the academy!
"So! This was all a conspiracy by the Spirit Pagoda! Those inner court elders who died in battle, those wounded disciples, were all killed by the Spirit Pagoda!"
Long Yeyue's voice suddenly rose, and with the infusion of soul power, it resounded throughout the entire Seagod Island like thunder.
Every word was filled with intense grief and hatred, making it clear to the elders who had just awakened and were seriously injured, as well as the inner courtyard disciples surrounding them.
"Could it be—that it really was made by the Spirit Pagoda?"
Even Yun Ming's heart wavered after hearing Long Yeyue's words.
Long Yeyue's analysis, though seemingly extreme, hit the nail on the head every time.
The Spirit Pagoda is suspected; they have a long-standing grudge against Shrek Academy.
Motives and ambitions have always been present in the mind of the people of Shrek Academy, who have always viewed Shrek Academy as a thorn in their side.
Furthermore, the spiritual attainments of the Illusionary Brain Douluo and his thousands of years of research on soul beasts are enough to support all of this.
Yun Ming and Long Yeyue both had grudges against the Qian Gu Clan. If Qian Gu Dongfeng wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate and weaken Shrek Academy's strength, it would be perfectly logical.
For a moment, Yun Ming couldn't help but wonder if the Spirit Pagoda was really behind this surprise attack.
"hold head high"
Just as Yun Ming was still deep in thought, Long Yeyue suddenly stood up, her body surging with a surge of light and dark soul power. A huge phantom of a holy dragon of light slowly emerged behind her, its dragon eyes majestic, and it roared to the sky with a deafening roar!
"The actions of the Spirit Pagoda are no different from those of evil spirit masters! They harm innocent people and collude with ferocious spirit beasts; they are true traitors!"
Long Yeyue raised her arm and shouted, her voice filled with fervor, "Shrek disciples and elders! Follow me to the Spirit Tower headquarters to demand justice! To avenge our fallen comrades!"
Before she finished speaking, she took the lead, transforming into a streak of light and soaring into the sky, rushing towards the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.
The phantom of the Holy Dragon of Light followed closely behind, its imposing presence awe-inspiring.
"Brothers! Let's go! Avenge the elders!"
"The Spirit Pagoda has gone too far! We at Shrek Academy take it upon ourselves to protect the continent, yet they stab us in the back, colluding with spirit beasts to attack the academy. Today, we must demand an explanation!"
"Charge! Slay the traitor and build the Spirit Tower!"
Poseidon Island instantly erupted in excitement.
Long Yeyue's analysis was clear, logical, and well-founded. Coupled with her status as a Limit Douluo and her strength, the vast majority of inner court disciples chose to believe her without hesitation.
Previously, they had been blasted away by the Black Dragon's aura and couldn't even get close to the battlefield. They were already harboring a lot of anger and humiliation. Now, with Long Yeyue taking the lead, all their resentment instantly found an outlet and was directed at the Spirit Pagoda.
Moreover, in their hearts, Shrek Academy never makes mistakes, and the academy's powerful figures would never wrong an innocent person.
The belief that "Shrek's will is the strongest in the world" had long been ingrained in their bones. With this blessing, countless inner court disciples summoned their battle armor, and various colors of light shone up, like stars gathering together, following closely behind Long Yeyue, and flew towards the Spirit Pagoda.
Thanks to the desperate protection of the inner court elders, none of the inner court disciples died, even though some were seriously injured and unconscious.
With the addition of the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's top-notch healing power, most of their injuries had already healed. Relying on the powerful physical qualities of high-level soul masters, they were all full of energy and high fighting spirit.
"this----"
Yun Ming, Ya Li, and Zang Xin were stunned as they watched the massive group disappear in an instant.
They never expected that after waking up, Long Yeyue would not think about cleaning up the mess at the academy, but would instead immediately lead people to the Spirit Pagoda to demand an explanation!
Regardless of whether this matter is truly related to the Spirit Pagoda, even if it is, they have no conclusive evidence!
Such a rash visit appears to outsiders as Shrek Academy being unreasonable and looking for trouble, which could not only damage Shrek's reputation but also potentially trigger a full-scale war between the two top powers!
"We have to keep up!"
Yun Ming and Zang Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing anxiety in each other's eyes.
Now that things have come to this, the only thing to do is to hurry up and find a way to put the situation under control before it gets completely out of control.
Before leaving, Yunming instructed Yali: "Yali, you stay in the inner courtyard to oversee the overall situation, comfort the wounded, strengthen defenses, and prevent any further accidents from happening."
Zang Xin immediately left behind several Tang Clan elders, instructing them: "You must guard Shrek Academy's inner courtyard well. If anything happens, send a message immediately."
After making the arrangements, the two dared not delay and quickly transformed into two streaks of light, chasing after the direction where Long Yeyue and the others had left.
The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.
The towering structure gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, and the surrounding soul-guided defense array was constantly in operation, exuding an aura of majesty.
"You ancient east wind, get out here and face me!"
A furious roar, imbued with intense spiritual energy, resounded through the sky like a thunderclap above the Spirit Pagoda.
Immediately afterwards, Long Yeyue's figure appeared with a chilling aura, her Limit Douluo-level soul power spreading out without any concealment, and a mountain-like pressure swept towards the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
Following closely behind were hundreds of Shrek Academy inner court disciples clad in battle armor. They floated in mid-air in perfect unison, each with sharp eyes, staring intently at the Spirit Pagoda before them, exuding a menacing and murderous aura.
"Beep beep beep—!"
In an instant, alarms blared from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, their piercing cries echoing throughout the area. A thick, faint layer of smoke—
A blue soul-guided shield quickly unfolded, enveloping the entire Spirit Pagoda.
At the same time, countless mechs rose from various floors and hidden areas of the Spirit Tower, their cannons aimed at the Shrek Seven Devils in the air, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.
As the current master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dong Feng immediately burst out of the window of his office at the top of the pagoda and hovered in mid-air upon hearing that angry shout.
When he saw the menacing Shrek Academy disciples before him, and Long Yeyue standing at the forefront with a livid face, his expression instantly darkened. He coldly questioned, "Long Yeyue! Your Shrek Academy has attacked my Spirit Pagoda headquarters without cause, causing chaos at my Spirit Pagoda's gates! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about leaving!"
"Explain?"
Long Yeyue sneered, her voice filled with sarcasm, "Qian Gu Dong Feng, even now, you still want to play dumb? Your Spirit Pagoda's conspiracy has been exposed! Today, I've come to demand an explanation from your Spirit Pagoda!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, his mind reeling. His expression changed slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.
No way?
Could it be that his secret collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult to steal the god-killing soul-guided cannonball has been exposed?
Is Shrek Academy here specifically to confront us after obtaining concrete evidence?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qian Gu Dongfeng, having seen his share of storms, quickly suppressed the turmoil within him, composed himself, and raised his voice to retort righteously, "Long Yeyue, don't you dare make baseless accusations! If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext! My Spirit Pagoda has always adhered to the rules of the continent and has never provoked your esteemed academy. If you can't give a clear explanation today, don't blame my Spirit Pagoda for being impolite!"
This guy has something to hide!
Long Yeyue was incredibly shrewd; she couldn't miss the change in Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression and the panic in his eyes just moments before.
Although she wasn't sure if the Spirit Pagoda was really related to the Black Dragon attack, Qian Gu Dongfeng's guilty look was enough to prove that he had definitely been up to no good behind the scenes!
The thought flashed through her mind, and Long Yeyue straightened her back even more, her eyes becoming even more determined.
In fact, Long Yeyue herself was not 100% certain that the Spirit Pagoda was the mastermind behind the Black Dragon attack.
The core purpose of her decisively leading a team to cause trouble at the Spirit Pagoda was solely to prove to the outside world that Shrek Academy was still powerful! This was to deter those restless troublemakers!
That's right, the goal is that simple and direct.
Back then, after her husband, Tianjuan Douluo, passed away, she was the only Limit Douluo left in Shrek Academy.
At that time, probes from the Federation and various hostile forces came one after another, all wanting to find out Shrek's true strength.
In that critical situation, Long Yeyue came up with an astonishing plan: to shift the conflict!
She went directly to the Spirit Pagoda and, upon meeting the then-palace master, Qian Gu Die Yan, slapped him across the face without saying a word.
That incident nearly triggered a full-scale war between the two major powers, but it also successfully deterred the villains.
The surrounding forces all hoped that the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy would suffer heavy losses, so they all stopped probing Shrek Academy, giving the academy a precious breathing space.
Although the pressure from the Spirit Pagoda has increased sharply, Long Yeyue is well aware of the internal structure of the Spirit Pagoda—it was jointly established by various forces and families.
It's impossible for the Ancient Clan to rally the entire Spirit Pagoda to take revenge on Shrek Academy; at most, they can only resort to underhanded tactics.
Under the constant pressure from the Spirit Pagoda, the disciples of Shrek Academy became even more diligent. Through trials and tribulations, a prodigy like Yun Ming emerged, defeating Qian Gu Dieyan in one fell swoop and making Shrek great once again.
Of course, in the end, for the sake of the bigger picture, Long Yeyue was also willing to "compromise" herself, apologize to the Spirit Pagoda, and let the matter pass by lightly.
In general, the Spirit Pagoda suffered huge losses at the time, while Shrek Academy used it to stabilize the situation, cultivate a new generation of top combatants, and make a fortune.
The fact that Shrek Academy suffered an attack by the Black Dragon and its high-end combat power was damaged can no longer be concealed.
Instead of passively waiting for the probing and provocation of various forces, it is better to repeat the old trick and "suffer" for the Spirit Pagoda again, so that the whole continent knows that Shrek Academy is still the unshakable Shrek Academy!
Even if it suffers heavy losses, it still has the strength to take the initiative and deter powerful enemies!
Although this method is somewhat unconventional, it reflects Long Yeyue's true intention: to achieve the greatest deterrent effect with the least cost, and to protect Shrek Academy's honor and status!
Thinking back on her brilliant plan to "repeate the same trick," Long Yeyue couldn't help but secretly admire her own "astonishing wisdom."
It can deter villains, give the Spirit Pagoda a warning, and vent one's anger—it's a win-win-win situation!
She looked up at Qian Gu Dongfeng, who was still trying to argue in mid-air, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She was no longer willing to waste any more words with him.
Words are useless; only fists can make these ambitious fools understand that Shrek Academy's authority is inviolable.
"You old scoundrel, prepare to die!"
A furious shout rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Long Yeyue's light and dark soul power instantly erupted to its peak, with brilliant gold and deep black intertwining and forming a spiral energy storm that enveloped her entire body.
Her figure transformed into a streak of light, and the instant she broke the sound barrier, a sharp whistling sound filled the air. Almost the instant her voice fell, she had already traversed hundreds of meters and suddenly appeared in front of Qian Gu Dong Feng!
The extreme speed brought unparalleled impact. Long Yeyue raised her right hand, her palm condensing extremely solid light and dark soul power, gleaming with a heart-palpitating luster.
She brought her five fingers together, lowered her wrist slightly, and then suddenly raised it with tremendous force, slapping Qian Gu Dongfeng across the cheek.
She was going to give this arrogant fool a resounding thrashing, just like she had done with Qian Gu Die Yan back then, so he could personally experience the fury and power of the Shrek Limit Douluo!
"That crazy woman!"
Qian Gu Dongfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
