Hearing that it concerned Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan finally perked up and looked up to see a huge light screen unfolding in the sky.
In the image, Zhang Lexuan saw a luxurious mansion.
At first, Zhang Lexuan didn't recognize it, but as the image zoomed in, a face deep in her mind appeared.
Zhang Lexuan remembered clearly that it was the person in the image who led the annihilation of the Zhang family.
Her parents, wet nurse, and servants were all brutally killed. In the vast family, only the young Zhang Lexuan survived.
Her hand clenched quietly in her sleeve; even after so many years, Zhang Lexuan had never forgotten.
This was just the appetizer; what followed was even more devastating.
In the image, a familiar figure appeared—a hunched-over old man—Mu En, being treated as an honored guest by her enemy.
The image sped up, showing that Zhang Lexuan's family had been attacked, while Mu En remained hidden in the shadows, coldly observing.
Aside from Zhang Lexuan, the renowned prodigy, the entire Zhang family perished, yet the young Zhang Lexuan miraculously evaded the enemy's search.
Seeing this, people sensed something was amiss. How could such a young girl like Zhang Lexuan possibly escape the search of so many powerful figures?
It seemed they had deliberately slaughtered her family, leaving her alone.
The scene continued; the enemy had left, and then Mu En, wearing a benevolent mask, appeared before Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan begged Mu En to avenge her family, and Mu En agreed, on the condition that Zhang Lexuan swear an oath to become his great-grandson's child bride.
At this point, people understood that it was all Mu En's conspiracy. First, he orchestrated the destruction of the Zhang family, eliminating any ties Zhang Lexuan had, then appeared before her as her benefactor, using her kindness to gain favor and conveniently accepting this infinitely promising prodigy.
After understanding the whole story, a chill ran through the crowd. What a vicious old man! He sold them out and then made them count the money for him.
The scene continued: Zhang Lexuan agreed to Mu En's conditions, and then Mu En led Zhang Lexuan to catch up with the murderers who had slaughtered the Zhang family.
Mu En acted swiftly and decisively, killing everyone in the blink of an eye.
With that, there was no way to prove anything.
People saw the person who led the massacre of the Zhang family, their eyes filled with disbelief. The scene froze there.
A deathly silence fell over the scene. People lamented Mu En's ruthlessness and also felt sorry for Zhang Lexuan. For decades, she had lived in someone else's lies, even treating her mortal enemy as family—how pathetic!
Zhang Lexuan herself was deathly pale. Why? Why were the people she considered her closest relatives her enemies?
Decades of deception... tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes. She felt her life was a joke, a complete and utter joke.
"Slander! This is slander! Elder Mu is dead! Why won't you let him go? Why?"
Gong Changwei shouted, glaring fiercely at Jing Hongchen. He had even tried to recognize Mu En as his godfather; how could he tolerate others defaming his father?
Jing Hongchen completely ignored this scoundrel. He looked at Zhang Lexuan and said leisurely, "The Divine Lord disdains deception. You should already have the answer to whether it's true or false!"
Zhang Lexuan was dazed, her eyes dark, as if all her strength had been drained away.
Seeing this, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but sigh. There's a saying: Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.
But what use is delayed justice? Mu En is dead; what impact does this have on him?
Delayed justice is, at best, just the truth.
"Leave! Leave this filthy place!"
"Le Xuan, that can't be true! They must be slandering Elder Mu.
Le Xuan, this is your home! You've lived here for so many years, have you forgotten?"
Seeing Zhang Le Xuan really leave, Gong Changwei was extremely anxious, jumping up and down in a comical manner.
Zhang Le Xuan didn't respond, walking further and further away, her back view dejected and lonely. Until finally, she completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
After the farce, Kong Deming gave the order, and Shilake Academy suffered a devastating blow.
The earth shook, and under the barrage of artillery fire, the towering teaching buildings were leveled. The inner courtyard was no exception, riddled with holes after the bombardment.
The entire Shilake Academy ceased to exist, utterly reduced to wasteland.
The only survivor was the ancient golden tree.
Its survival wasn't due to its own resilience, but because Huo Yuhao had his eye on it, intending to use it as Ye Lingling's spirit ring.
After the bombing, the spirit master corps marched straight in, landing on the inner courtyard's Seagod Island. Led by his henchman Gong Changwei, they began looting the former Seagod Pavilion.
Shilake had been swindling and deceiving for millennia, its treasures—gold, silver, and spirit bones—were countless.
Watching what should have been his being taken away by these robbers, Gong Changwei was heartbroken and couldn't breathe.
But circumstances forced him to submit; to save his life, he had no choice but to try his best to appease Kong Deming.
Gong Changwei looked timidly at Kong Deming and said, "Sir, I've told you everything I know, so…" His
unspoken message was, "Can I leave now? "
Kong Deming ignored this spineless dog. Beside him, the dashing leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps kicked him.
Gong Changwei was kicked face-first to the ground, but dared not utter a sound of anger.
Someone laughed, "Look, he looks like a dog!"
The others burst into laughter. A look of humiliation flashed in Gong Changwei's eyes, but his next move shocked everyone again.
"Sir is right, I am a dog, woof, woof, woof…"
The crowd laughed uncontrollably, doubled over with laughter. No one else was so afraid of death.
Someone else spoke up, "You've got a good understanding, huh? My household is short a servant. If you're willing, castrate yourself and cripple your cultivation."
Hearing this, the others looked at Gong Changwei with mockery, wondering what he would choose.
Gong Changwei froze for a moment, then shed tears of humiliation.
"I...I'm willing."
With that, he trembled, clenched his fist, and forcefully slammed it into his crotch...
In the Heavenly Court, Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze. Shileke had finally been completely eradicated.
The Three-Eyed Golden Ni leaped onto his shoulder, its large head rubbing against Huo Yuhao's cheek.
"Ah, finally got rid of those disgusting guys!"
Huo Yuhao laughed as he picked up Wang Qiu'er, saying, "It's time to end this. To be honest, playing with them makes me feel inferior."
Force is never the best solution. Simply eliminating Shileke's high-end combat power doesn't truly shake their foundation.
The most important thing is to let those who originally admired Shrek see its true, ugly face, so that they will internally reject Shrek, abandon it, and discard its so-called bullshit spiritual beliefs.
Any force, once deprived of the injection of fresh blood, will quickly disappear into the river of history.
The Spirit Tower of the Third Generation secretly contacted the Holy Spirit Cult and the Federal Government, dropping a god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided bomb that destroyed the heavens and earth, blasting Shrek into the sky.
But so what? Later, Tang Wulin, a remnant of Shrek, raised the call, and all the Shrek supporters jumped out to support Shrek.
Even without Tang Wulin, there would have been Dai Wulin, Ma Wulin, Ao Wulin…
And now? Public opinion continues to ferment, Shrek is infamous, widely condemned, and many even demand the complete eradication of this cancer.
Therefore, the destruction of Shrek is the will of the people!
