After Elder Xuan left, the atmosphere inside Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion became extremely oppressive.

"If Tianshui Sect truly killed Huo Yuhao, this matter might be difficult to handle," Elder Song said with a grim expression.

"Killing someone demands retribution, and debts must be paid. If Tianshui Sect did this, they must give us an explanation," Elder Lin snorted, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Huo Yuhao had been missing for several months. Half an hour ago, the Haotian Sect sent word that Huo Yuhao was dead.

As the premier academy on the continent, Shrek Academy had to take this matter seriously. Ignoring the life and death of their students was unacceptable.

"Regardless of the circumstances, the purpose of the Haotian Sect informing us is to unite with Shrek Academy to rescue Wang Dong'er. They are likely not lying about this," Elder Mo said, stroking his beard, a profound look in his dry eyes.

With Elder Xuan gone, the Sea God Pavilion was filled with a cacophony of voices, as everyone discussed the possible outcomes.

Among them, Yan Shaozhe, the disciple of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, felt a deep sense of hesitation.

"Even if Huo Yuhao did die at the hands of the Tianshui Sect, does Shrek Academy really need to confront them to such an extent?" Yan Shaozhe muttered, pressing his hand to his forehead and letting out a long sigh.

"Be careful with your words, Shaozhe!" Elder Song shot him a deep, warning look.

Everyone was reminded by this and fell silent, frowning in thought.

Yan Shaozhe's face was full of conflict, struggling with a difficult decision.

The Shui Family is incredibly powerful!

The older generation boasts the demigod Shui Yuanchen, while the younger generation includes the prodigy Shui Wuya.

Even their servant Han Feng possesses talent that rivals Huo Yuhao's.

At present, Huo Yuhao's true potential has not yet been fully realized, so Yan Shaozhe did not hold him in particularly high regard.

But Huo Yuhao is a disciple of Shrek Academy. What should I do about this?

Yan Shaozhe shook his head internally, wondering how Yuhao managed to provoke Shui Wuya.

Wait a minute.

"This is bad. Could Elder Xuan be fighting with Tianshui Sect?" He suddenly realized it was a strong possibility.

Everyone was startled and jumped from their seats.

"Quick, go after Elder Xuan…"

...

Elder Xuan, speeding along, was unaware of the happenings in the meeting room. He had already followed the map given by the Haotian Sect and found the mountain gate of Tianshui Sect.

"Tianshui Sect, I, Xuanzi, have come on business. Please open the gate for a meeting."

Hovering mid-air, Elder Xuan looked imposing in his billowing black robes. Knowing the Tianshui Sect was affiliated with the Shui Family, he didn't immediately exert his Ultimate Douluo pressure.

Shortly after his call, a burly figure emerged from within the Tianshui Sect.

The newcomer was none other than Mo Lihai, the sect master of Tianshui Sect.

"Sect Master Mo, it's been a while," Elder Xuan greeted with a polite nod.

However, his courtesy was not reciprocated in kind.

"Elder Xuan, what brings you here?" Mo Lihai asked directly, his tone rather cold, without any intention of small talk.

Although the two had met several times before, this was their first real interaction.

Seeing this, Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow, slightly annoyed by Mo Lihai's attitude.

"The Haotian Sect informed us that two Shrek Academy students, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, went missing in Tianshui Sect. I've come to investigate," Elder Xuan replied, suppressing his irritation.

He didn't mention Huo Yuhao's death, as he doubted the accuracy of the Haotian Sect's report.

"Apologies, but I don't know anyone named Huo Yuhao or Wang Dong'er," Mo Lihai responded, shaking his head indifferently, showing no regard for Elder Xuan's presence.

"Mo Sect Master, do you take me for a child?" Elder Xuan finally lost his temper. As a mighty Ultimate Douluo, he was unaccustomed to such disrespect.

Mo Lihai's dismissive attitude was bad enough, but claiming not to know Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er was an outright insult to his intelligence. Elder Xuan was certain they had visited Tianshui Sect; how could Mo Lihai not recognize them?

Instantly, Elder Xuan released his formidable Ultimate Douluo pressure, aiming to force a confession from Mo Lihai.

"Hmph, if Elder Xuan has come as a guest, we welcome you. But if you've come to cause trouble, know that Tianshui Sect is not to be trifled with!" Mo Lihai snorted, unfazed by the pressure, standing his ground without retreating an inch.

Activating his own soul power to resist, his right hand glowed with a cold light, ready to activate Tianshui Sect's protective array at any moment.

"Enough! Since I'm here today, I might as well see what makes Tianshui Sect, with its millennia of history, so special!" Elder Xuan, furious yet resigned, knew the situation wouldn't end peacefully.

As an Ultimate Douluo, retreating now would be humiliating if word got out.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Elder Xuan unleashed his full power, causing the sky to churn with ominous clouds.

...

At the same time, as Elder Xuan and Mo Lihai faced off, Shui Wuya returned to the Shui Family after completing the sixth Ice God trial.

"Shui Wuya, someone named Wang Qiu'er from Shrek Academy is here to see you," Shui Yanjun said with a smirk as Shui Wuya landed in the clan hall.

Shui Wuya immediately knew who the visitor was but could tell from Shui Yanjun's expression that there had been a misunderstanding.

"Let her see me," Shui Wuya said, shaking his head and sitting in the central seat.

Half an hour later, Wang Qiu'er entered the clan hall. Upon seeing Shui Wuya, she immediately apologized.

"I, Wang Qiu'er, representing Shrek Academy, apologize to the Shui Family for our previous offense," Wang Qiu'er said, bowing with a tense and apprehensive expression.

In the past, she had interacted with Shui Wuya, but now, as the Shui Family's leader, she couldn't speak to him as casually as before.

Hearing this, Shui Wuya frowned slightly.

Shrek Academy's sudden departure from the Shui Family wasn't a big deal to him. He'd almost forgotten about it.

Why bother him again?
