Chapter 2239: Severing Ties (Please Subscribe) _1

Dai Yueyan froze for a second, gritted his teeth, and said, "Just because you're bored, you took such a big risk to come back. What am I supposed to say to you?"

He had thought that Shrek Academy was treating Dai Yun'er poorly, but now it seemed that was not the case at all!

Dai Yun'er stuck out her tongue playfully, "Meh meh meh, let's not talk about me then."

After a pause, full of curiosity, she asked, "Brother, how has the Xingluo Empire been doing lately?"

Even though she seemed carefree and light-hearted, she still had the royal household blood coursing through her veins and naturally cared deeply about the citizens of the Xingluo Empire!

Mentioning the Xingluo Empire, Dai Yueyan's expression became more serious, "It's been a lot better than before. The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters haven't made any big moves!"

"However, without completely driving them out of the Xingluo Empire, it's like a thorn lodged in the body that could pose a threat at any moment."

Dai Yun'er said affectionately, "Don't worry, I believe you can do it, brother. After all, in the history of the entire Xingluo Empire, no one can compare to you!"

Left with no choice, Dai Yueyan fondly ruffled her hair, "You really have a way with words. Oh, I just overheard you mention, did the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters head towards the Blood God Army?"

Dai Yun'er appeared slightly surprised, "Brother, you didn't know? The Holy Spirit Cult has gathered all the Evil Soul Masters hidden in the major cities. It seems their target is the Blood God Army!"

Dai Yueyan pondered and said, "I haven't received any news. It looks like Soul Land has blocked the information, not wanting to cause panic among the Soul Masters and civilians."

"Yun'er, besides this, has anything else significant happened?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er thought carefully, "Other than that, it seems there's only the conflict between the Spirit Pagoda and the War God Hall. In the end, the War God Hall had to compensate with a sizable amount of valuable resources."

"Can you give me the details?"

"I only know the rough outline..."

Immediately, she narrated to Dai Yueyan all the specific events that had occurred...

After listening, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "The War God Hall personally vouched for the Spirit Pagoda, but that doesn't necessarily mean the latter didn't collaborate with ferocious beasts; it might also be that there's no evidence."

"Otherwise, why would Hall Master Chen Xinjie be in such a hurry to pass on his position to Guan Yue, clearly not wanting this matter to affect him?"

Dai Yun'er coughed lightly, whispering in his ear, "Brother, aside from that, I have another secret for you. The Battle God Hall's hall master, he's secretly in love with... well, 'fond of' the Light and Shadow Douluo might be a better term."

The corner of Dai Yueyan's mouth twitched, as he shook off her arm, "I don't need to know about these things. Now, go back and rest. Your bedchamber has been kept clean."

Dai Yun'er immediately grasped his meaning and replied with a tinge of grievance, "Brother, you pry me for information then send me away. How heartless!"

Dai Yueyan soothed her softly, "Dear sister, I have matters to attend to. We'll catch up properly tomorrow!"

Although her face showed some discontent, Dai Yun'er knew what mattered more and waved goodbye before turning to leave...

Once she was gone, the previously vanished elder reappeared...

There was a touch of sentimentality on his aged face, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has really changed a lot after going to Shrek Academy!"

Dai Yueyan did not deny it and concurred, "Yes, perhaps she feels more at ease there, free from the cumbersome formalities of royalty, without needing to heed anyone's feelings in her actions."

"If I could, I'd rather not be the emperor either and would instead roam like most Soul Masters..."

The elder gently interrupted him, "Your Majesty..."

Dai Yueyan covered his mouth, "Cough cough, I've been a bit out of line!"

After taking a deep breath, he put aside his playfulness, "Alright, getting back to the point. You heard everything Yun'er said just now, didn't you?"

The elder nodded slightly, "Hmm! Your Majesty, is there something you need me to do?"

Dai Yueyan nodded and his eyes began to shine with resolve...

...…

Tang Sect, Dou Spirit Empire Branch!

A Tang Sect disciple clad in a purple robe, expressionless, bowed with fists and said, "Reporting to the manager, I have followed your orders."

Li Yunzhe, standing at the front, narrowed his eyes, "What are the results?"

"Those Tang Sect disciples are unwilling to return to Tang Sect, and they openly abandoned this identity!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunzhe fiercely punched the wall, making the entire room tremble...

Right after, he said with an icy expression, "Damn the Dou Spirit Empire for developing by poaching from our Tang Sect!"

"And those ingrates who, after getting some benefits, just followed others!!"

He didn't think it was wrong for the Dou Spirit Empire to develop soul tools to enhance their overall strength!

It was just that they used despicable means!

If it wasn't for the fact that Tang Sect had revised its rules, he would have executed those Tang Sect disciples on the spot!

Unfortunately, they were no longer disciples of the Tang Sect's Soul Guidance Hall; they were now special commissioners of the Dou Spirit Empire. Taking action against them would mean challenging the entire Dou Spirit Empire!

Not that Tang Sect was afraid of the Dou Spirit Empire!

The Tang Sect disciple pursed his lips, "Please calm your anger, sir. Shall I go inform Xue Yuntian and ask him to have the Dou Spirit Empire return all the Tang Sect disciples?"

Li Yunzhe scoffed, "You go and inform them? Heh, does the Dou Spirit Empire value you so highly now that you, a Tang Sect disciple, will make a difference?"

Not to mention him going there himself, even as the person in charge of the Tang Sect Branch, it would be of no use!

The Tang Sect disciple bowed his head, "..."

Li Yunzhe took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart...

"Contact Tang Sect's headquarters immediately and report this to the Sect Master, stressing the despicable actions of the Dou Spirit Empire and suggesting cutting off relations with them!"

The former's pupils shrank, "Manager, this... Wouldn't that be rather bad? A significant portion of Tang Sect's precious metals and resources are bought from the Dou Spirit Empire!"

Li Yunzhe immediately rebuked, "Enough talk; convey my words exactly as I said them to the Sect Master! The actions of the Dou Spirit Empire have trampled over Tang Sect's bottom line!!"

The Tang Sect disciple swallowed hard, "Yes, manager!"

...

Soon, the Tang Sect Master and all the Hall Masters were informed of the matter...

Zang Xin's face looked terrifyingly cold, "Do as Li Yunzhe said, completely sever ties with Dou Spirit. In the future, if they ask Tang Sect for assistance, refuse outright!"

The several Hall Masters nearby spoke up, "Sect Master, it's just some Soul Guidance Hall Disciples; isn't that going too far?"

"Yes, if we sever relations with the Dou Spirit Empire, Tang Sect will lose a channel through which we obtain precious metals!"

"I also believe this matter has not reached the point of breaking off relations! I beseech the Sect Master to consider carefully!"

Who knew Zang Xin would glance at them and speak with an unmistakable tone, "No more words needed, if the Dou Spirit Empire dares to undermine us, it means they do not take Tang Sect seriously!"

"Who can guarantee they won't do the same thing??"
