Chapter 180 Shrek's Attack and Everyone's Reactions
Dai Youheng settled down in the small mountain village where Bai Wanning lived in seclusion.
He told his mother and younger brother that he would be staying for a relatively long time, partly to spend time with them, but more importantly, to cultivate in peace and completely control the excessive evil energy that had arisen from the evolution of his martial soul and the divine trial.
Bai Wanning and Dai Luoli were already overjoyed to see him return, and they were even more delighted to hear that he could stay for an extended period. The small courtyard in the mountain village was filled with a long-lost warm atmosphere.
After settling in, Dai Youheng did not completely relax. He sensed that Yan Shaozhe would not let the matter rest, so he wrote a letter in detail about how he was intercepted by Yan Shaozhe on the way and mistaken for an evil soul master, and explained his analysis of the possible political intentions behind Shrek Academy's actions.
He handed the letter to Ling Ya and instructed him, "Ling Ya, you must set off immediately and secretly deliver this letter to Princess Jiu Jiu. Explain the details of what happened to her. After that, you will remain in Xingluo City and follow the princess's orders. You don't need to come back for now; Nana is fine with me here."
"Yes, young master! Your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations!" Ling Ya solemnly accepted the letter, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards Xingluo City.
Just as Dai Youheng had predicted, after Yan Shaozhe returned to Shrek Academy, he immediately sent a strongly worded note to the Star Luo Empire's royal family in the name of the Sea God Pavilion.
In the note, Yan Shaozhe strongly accused Dai Youheng, the son of a duke of the Star Luo Empire, of falling into evil spirit mastery. He claimed that Dai possessed an extremely evil and powerful martial spirit, posing a great threat. He demanded that the Star Luo Empire immediately arrest him and hand him over to Shrek Academy for investigation and purification by the Sea God Pavilion, in order to maintain the peace of the continent and Shrek Academy's eternal reputation.
The news quickly spread throughout Shrek Academy's inner courtyard and even some of its outer courtyards, causing quite a stir.
Many of the current Shrek Seven Devils are former friends of Dai Youheng. Although Wang Dong only became friends with Dai Youheng because of Huo Yuhao, her predecessor had sent her and Xiao Xiao breakfast for more than a year, so there was still some affection between them.
Xiao Xiao had always thought Dai Youheng was a good person, and Jiang Nannan was even more incredulous that someone who had once helped her mother could have become an evil spirit master. The two of them went to Yan Shaozhe to plead for leniency, hoping to find out the truth and not wrong Dai Youheng.
Wang Dong also pleaded on Huo Yuhao's behalf once, because Huo Yuhao had told her that when he was young, Dai Youheng was one of the few people besides his mother who gave him warmth. Now he was studying in the Sun Moon Empire, and if he came back and learned that his former elder brother had become an evil soul master, how heartbroken he would be.
Beibei didn't care about this at all. His Tang Ya had disappeared, and he was too busy with his own things to care about others.
Xu Sanshi was purely gloating.
However, Dai Youheng's true friends, such as Zhou Sichen and the Lan sisters, did not believe it at all. In fact, the Lan sisters also had the same idea as Dai Youheng: Shrek must want to help Dai Yueheng seize power, which is why they framed Dai Youheng like this.
It must be said that these sisters actually have a certain political acumen.
Yan Shaozhe outwardly appeased the pleading students, promising a fair handling of the matter, but his resolve only hardened. He saw not only evil energy, but also Dai Youheng's terrifyingly suffocating talent!
A sixteen-year-old Soul Emperor with a 100,000-year Soul Ring! After evolution, the Abyss Demon Tiger's quality far surpasses that of the Bright Phoenix and is suspected to have reached the level of a Super Martial Soul. This is simply the appearance of a Limit Douluo!
Yan Shaozhe and even the higher-ups at Shrek Academy were deeply concerned that no new Limit Douluo who was completely loyal to the empire should ever emerge among the four great empires!
Shrek Academy has been able to remain aloof from worldly affairs for millennia, possessing the most human resources on the continent and forcing major empires to swallow their anger. One of the core reasons is that the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters have all possessed extreme or near-extreme strength, forming an absolute military deterrent.
If the Star Luo Empire produces its own Limit Douluo and successfully integrates the Western Army Group, then the Star Luo Empire is likely to be the first to no longer tolerate Shrek Academy's transcendent status, and may even attempt to challenge and reclaim Shrek Academy's many privileges.
Therefore, he must bring Dai Youheng back to Shrek Academy! Not only to purify the so-called evil energy, but also to take this opportunity to firmly control this future Limit Douluo in Shrek Academy's hands.
He believed that with Shrek Academy's methods and the Sea God Pavilion's "teachings," they were fully capable of correcting the mind of a sixteen-year-old boy, making him "willingly" become Shrek Academy's guardian, rather than a blade of the Star Luo Empire.
In short, brainwashing.
"Dai Youheng was originally from Shrek Academy. Now, this is just to help him see the error of his ways and get back on the right track." Yan Shaozhe convinced himself of this and began to use more of Shrek Academy's power to continue to put pressure on the Star Luo Empire.
At this moment, Dai Youheng was in a quiet mountain village, enjoying a rare moment of family time while focusing on his cultivation, trying to conceal his aura, waiting for the changing situation in the Star Luo Empire, and also waiting for the opportunity for him to break through the impasse.
Inside the Imperial Study of the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xu Jiawei stared grimly at the formal letter in his hand, issued by the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, which was written in a stern tone.
Beside him, the princess's pretty face remained frosty for a long time, her beautiful eyes suppressing obvious anger.
"Bang!"
Xu Jiawei slammed the note down on the table with a loud thud, startling the eunuch standing nearby.
"This is outrageous! Shrek Academy is going too far!"
The usually composed Star Luo Emperor's voice was now filled with barely suppressed rage. "To slander the son of my Empire's Duke as an evil soul master? And to demand that I personally order his arrest and handover? Shrek Academy's reach is far too far!"
Xu Jiujiu was so angry that her chest heaved. She grabbed the letter, glanced at it quickly, and her voice was so cold it seemed like ice shards could fall from it, "Royal brother, this is blatant framing and provocation! Youheng has been gone from Xingluo for over a hundred days without a word, and I was worried that something might have happened to him! But Shrek Academy, instead of admitting fault, is turning the tables and accusing us! I think Youheng's disappearance is most likely their doing!"
How sharp was the political acumen of the two supreme rulers of the Star Luo Empire? They made a similar judgment to that of the Lan sisters almost instantly.
Xu Jiawei's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "Hmph, helping Dai Yueheng eliminate dissidents and maintain the Dai family's direct lineage's control over the Western Army Group, thereby indirectly ensuring this force's inclination towards Shrek Academy—what a clever scheme!"
Xu Jiawei paced back and forth in his study, his brow furrowed. "Shrek Academy's reputation, built up over millennia, is too great. They've seized the moral high ground by launching their attack under the guise of eliminating evil spirit masters. If we directly and forcefully refuse, we'll likely face immense public pressure."
