Chapter 603 Motion and Stillness (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Xu Tianran nodded and pondered, "Indeed, the threat from Shrek Academy needs to be addressed..."

Now there was no reason for Shrek Academy to stop them—the Sun-Moon Empire; however, after today's events, it was feared that Shrek Academy would use this as a threat to get involved in the wars between empires!

Seeing Xu Tianran's words, other senior officials also spoke up, "Your Majesty the Emperor, should we do something? For example, send someone to Shrek Academy to explain?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if Shrek Academy seizes this opportunity, the difficulty for our Sun-Moon Empire to annex the other two great empires will increase exponentially."

"I also think it is necessary to send Soul Masters to negotiate with Shrek Academy; otherwise..."

Only Wind Douluo, standing to the side, spoke up with displeasure, "Ridiculous! Our Sun-Moon Empire need not explain to an academy! That would be a complete insult to us!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Blazing Sun Douluo interjected with a cold voice, "Wind Douluo! Are you suggesting that our Sun-Moon Empire is now so powerful that it can withstand everyone? Foolish!"

Wind Douluo, with only war in his mind, completely lacked what is known as intelligence!

To have survived and cultivated to become a Hyper Douluo was in itself a marvel!

Seeing himself being rebuked, Wind Douluo immediately responded in a cold voice, "Blazing Sun Douluo, do you think you are in any position to judge me? Even you three Title Douluos couldn't withstand that mere Sea Princess and her sea soul beast Beast Tide. Otherwise, how could you have forced His Majesty the Emperor to order the use of the Ninth-Grade Soul Guidance Cannons to bombard Rising City?"

Enraged, Blazing Sun Douluo decisively released his Martial Soul, with a huge bow and arrow coalescing into a shadow behind him...

Nine soul rings rose up at his feet in an instant...

His imposing aura spread terrifyingly fast, enveloping the entire hall...

Then, he said to Wind Douluo with a tone filled with killing intent, "Are you looking for death??? That Sea Princess has a cultivation level of over five hundred thousand years. Do you think without a Hyper Douluo of at least level 97, we could have resisted?"

Wind Douluo's eyes narrowed, "Want to fight? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

No sooner had he spoken than behind him too burst forth the manifestation of his Martial Soul as nine soul rings slowly rose at his feet...

The vigorous aura radiated from him as the origin, spreading out; the clashing imposing auras of the two creating gusts of wind throughout the hall...

Even the senior officials with weaker soul power ranks bowed down, their hearts feeling as though they were being grasped, on the verge of suffocation...

Yet Wind Douluo and Blazing Sun Douluo seemed completely unaware, still confronting each other...

Xu Tianran, sitting on the throne, grew visibly more sullen and suddenly shouted coldly, "Enough!!!!"

His icy words instantly echoed throughout the hall, and both Wind Douluo and Blazing Sun Douluo were startled awake, immediately withdrawing their Martial Souls and oppressive auras...

Only then did the other senior officials feel as if a burden had been lifted. Had the two Douluos continued their confrontation, they might have truly suffocated!

Xu Tianran's eyes, filled with coldness, swept over Blazing Sun Douluo and then looked at Wind Douluo, before saying each word sharply, "This is the imperial palace, not a place for you to fight at will! If this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Blazing Sun Douluo immediately bent down and said with a cupped fist, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I meant no disrespect. I beg for your forgiveness!"

Wind Douluo, glancing coldly at the former, also respectfully said to Xu Tianran, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am the same! Please forgive me."

Xu Tianran took a deep breath and said coldly, "We won't rush to explain things to Shrek Academy for now. If they really think we were behind this, they will definitely send someone to question us first!"

Having spoken, he turned to Juzi, who had been standing by his side the whole time, and asked with a hint of inquiry, "Juzi, what do you think of this approach?"

Juzi's beautiful eyes flickered for a moment before she analyzed, "Um! His Majesty the Emperor is absolutely right! Although Shrek Academy was bombed yesterday, as of now, they have no evidence to prove that it was us, the Sun-Moon Empire, who carried out the bombing. Sending people to explain now would have the opposite effect!"

With Juzi's approval, Xu Tianran finally closed his eyes and said, "Then let's do it this way, opt for observation for the time being! Also, don't forget to convey the message that the other empires should come to Ming City three days later to discuss peace talks!"

...

Shrek Academy, Sea God's Pavilion!

Standing up from the chief seat, Xuan Zi began, "I believe all the members of the Sea God's Pavilion present here are well aware of what happened yesterday!"

"For the first time, Shrek City suffered the bombardment from a Ninth-Grade Soul Guided Shell! Fortunately, thanks to Qian Yu and student Huo Yuhao's assistance, we were able to resolve the situation perfectly without incurring a large number of casualties."

"Therefore, we are here today to express our gratitude from the Sea God's Pavilion!"

Upon his words, the rest of the members of the Sea God's Pavilion spontaneously stood up and began to applaud…

And all eyes were on Huo Yuhao…

As for Qian Yu, since he was a member of the Sea God's Pavilion, it was his duty!

Yan Shaozhe gave a thumbs up, "Yuhao, well done!"

Fan Yu said softly, "Truly worthy of the student I once set my sights on, what a pity, I regret not taking him as my disciple!"

Xian Lin'er also unexpectedly said with gentleness, "Hmm! Huo Yuhao indeed played an indispensable role this time!"

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, the person involved, stealthily glanced at Qian Yu…

Why were the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion only thanking him?

Facing such a situation alone, his heart was still involuntarily racing…

After taking a deep breath, he spoke firmly, "Elder Xuan, Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, you all flatter me too much, this is what I should do as an inner court student!"

Xuan Zi nodded slightly, very satisfied, "Hmm! This is the mark of a Shrek Academy Inner Court student. Everyone please sit down; this time, we shall specially allow Huo Yuhao to join the Sea God's Pavilion meeting."

Of course, the permission to join merely meant that Huo Yuhao had the right to stay and observe...

Subsequently, all members of the Sea God's Pavilion took their seats, while Huo Yuhao stood by quietly watching them…

Xuan Zi then continued, "The identity of the person who used the Ninth-Grade Soul Guidance Device to attack Shrek City this time is unclear!"

"But based on what Qian Yu said, there are two main possibilities, one, it was employed by the Sun-Moon Empire's Mingde Hall! Two, it was done by two members of the Holy Spirit Cult, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, who should have been eradicated by the Body Sect! Among them, Ye Xishui possesses a Ninth-Grade Soul Guidance Device, the Tower of Death!"

"Although the attack didn't cause any casualties, we cannot tolerate such large-scale slaughter aimed at Shrek City!!"
