Chapter 152: Priceless Face, Hu Jie Takes Action!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Several streaks of light darted through the air, and in a flash, they arrived above Shrek Academy. The group that arrived were none other than the Spirit Pagoda
, led by Qiangu Dongfeng. In a shadowy area outside Shrek Academy, Hu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "That old fellow, Qiangu Dongfeng, arrived just in time. Otherwise, I would have gone to mediate. Thank goodness, or my identity as a traitor would have been exposed." "
I haven't even taken anything from the Tang Sect yet. Exposing myself early would be a loss..."
He noticed the moment the battle erupted at Shrek Academy, and then watched as Muye attacked the Shrek Academy, crushing Zhuo Shi with one foot and sending Cai Yue'er flying with one punch.
"How brutal! I guess I won't have any more unrealistic ambitions from now on." Recalling Muye's previous combat prowess, Hu Jie shuddered.
However, he was also relieved to see that the Body Sect was indeed on the rise.
Just as Hu Jie was about to continue watching, several streaks of light rose from the Tang Sect headquarters. Hu Jie's eyes flickered, and his massive body twisted, heading straight for the group.
Before arriving in Shrek City, he'd learned that Ruthless Douluo and Amorous Douluo weren't at Tang Sect headquarters.
And aside from those two, his position was the highest within the Tang Sect.
"Hey, Muye, hurry up and lead the Body Sect forward, or this hall master will soon reach the top..." Hu Jie sighed, blocking the way for the Tang Sect members.
"Where are you all going?" Hu Jie asked, looking at the Tang Clan's branch masters.
"Hello, Master Hu. We're going to help Shrek Academy," they said, pausing briefly.
"Why help? Go and mediate with this Master." Hu Jie pointed disapprovingly at Shrek City below. "Have you forgotten our Tang Clan motto? To safeguard the peace of the continent."
"If a fight breaks out, what will happen to the residents down below?"
"This..." They exchanged a stunned glance.
Indeed, if a fight really broke out, the aftermath would inevitably affect the residents down below, and they would undoubtedly suffer. After all, this was a battle between Super Douluo, even Ultimate Douluo.
"Hmm?" Hu Jie raised an eyebrow at the hesitation. "The election for the next Hall Master is coming up soon, and it seems like you guys don't care much about it..."
"Ahem, I think you're right, Hall Master Hu. We in the Tang Sect should prioritize peace."
"I feel the same way."
"Me too."
Upon hearing Hu Jie mention the Hall Master election, the others were stunned for a moment, then followed his lead.
It was the Tang Sect's Hall Master election.
Who wouldn't want to advance further?
Meanwhile, Qiangu Dongfeng had already blocked the way between the two sides.
"Everyone, you are all well-known and influential forces on the continent. Why confront each other here? Why not listen to what this tower master has to say? Let's sit down and have a good chat." Qiangu Dongfeng cleared his throat and looked at Yun Ming and Muye with a smile.
But they both seemed oblivious to him, their auras rising continuously.
"..."
Seeing no one on either side paying any attention to him, Qiangu Dongfeng
's expression faltered slightly. Was he really that embarrassed?
Leng Yaozhu looked at Qiangu Dongfeng, a strange smile playing on her red lips.
She knew that Qiangu Dongfeng had long sensed the battle, but had been hiding in the shadows, wanting to be the mantis, waiting for the outcome before stepping forward to mediate. This would not only earn him a good reputation, but could even win over Elder Han and Muye, earning them a favor.
However, knowing Qiangu Dongfeng's character well, she had anticipated this move, so she took the opportunity to let him mediate. After all, the Benti Sect was currently weak and far from being able to compete with Shrek Academy.
Injuring Zhuoshi and Cai Yue'er would be a complete recovery; as long as
they could escape unscathed, they would be victorious. After all, like a deity, if a single drop of blood were to fall from a mortal's grasp, the veil of mystery would gradually fall away, and the awe they held in them would gradually fade.
After this incident, Shrek Academy might still be the continent's foremost power, but would its prestige continue to endure?
"Master of the Eternal Ages, it was this Shrek Academy member who bullied my juniors, and that's why Muye came to demand an explanation. After all, who wants to see their juniors bullied?" Han Tianyi stepped forward and spoke softly.
"What's more, Muye only targeted Cai Yue'er and Zhuo Shi, leaving the others alone. It was even Cai Yue'er who attacked Muye first. We'd like to talk, but Shrek Academy won't give us a chance,"
Han Tianyi said with a sigh of resignation.
Cai Yue'er, who had just regained consciousness, was furious when she heard Han Tianyi's words, her eyes widening.
But she also knew that Han Tianyi was telling the truth; it was indeed she who struck first. She
wanted to refute him, but couldn't find the words to refute him. For a moment, Cai Yue'er was so furious that her eyes rolled back and she fainted again.
"So that's how it is. This was indeed a dishonest act on your part. Shrek Academy represents the continent. How could you do such a thing?" Qiangu Dongfeng said to Yun Ming, his expression suddenly enlightened.
Yun Ming frowned and was about to say something when Qiangu Dongfeng changed the subject.
"However, Sect Master Mu, you were wrong in this matter, too. How could you have beaten you two so badly? Look at this idiot... no, Cai Yue'er is even unconscious.
You owe me some compensation. In my opinion, after you two have recovered, you should send them a fruit basket as a token of your appreciation."
Qiangu Dongfeng, though he didn't say it outright, had been constantly criticizing Shrek Academy. After all, their Spirit Pagoda had long since split from Shrek Academy.
As for sharing a common ancestor, he said that was a separate matter.
Furthermore, their ancestor, Huo Yuhao, had once said that the White Tiger Dukedom would pay for their blood debt with blood. Didn't he ultimately forget his roots? Even the White Tiger Dai family had re-ascended the throne of the Star Luo Empire.
Hearing Qiangu Dongfeng's words, even Yun Ming, with his temperament, laughed in anger.
Was this just a fruit basket and that was it?
But just then, several streaks of light flew by in the distance. It was none other than the Tang Sect, led by Hu Jie.
Hu Jie gave Muye a cold look and led the Tang Sect members directly to Shrek Academy.
"Muye, what are you trying to do? How dare you act so recklessly in Shrek Academy?" Hu Jie said coldly to Muye. "If you dare harm Shrek Academy, you'll be harming us, the Tang Sect. Do you intend to join forces with Shrek and the Tang Sect as enemies?"
Seeing this, several Shrek Academy elders felt a surge of relief. The Tang Sect was truly their staunch support, and Hall Master Hu was a loyal servant.
Furthermore, judging by this, it was clear that Hu Jie had truly broken with the Benti Sect.
Muye saw Hu Jie raise his little finger and immediately understood his intention. His aura suddenly surged, his massive golden body expanding once more, and he roared.
"Let's fight! At worst, we can go to war and sink the entire Shrek Academy!"
