Ning Tian now completely understood that Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, had long since been corrupted. Everything was just a high-sounding excuse they had created. They had long since begun to trample on other sects, academies, and even nations.
Whether it was Zhang Lexuan before, or Ling Luochen, who was forced away by the higher-ups, or Leng Qiuyu now, they were all the best proof.
Perhaps there were good people in Shrek, but they must have just joined Shrek and hadn't yet been brainwashed by Shrek's so-called glory and ideals.
Once successfully brainwashed, no matter what they were asked to do for Shrek, they would definitely be happy to do it without the slightest hesitation! If such a Shrek were to continue to flourish, or even exist, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, not just for the Sun Moon Empire, but even for those from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms! However, although he had already decided to have Leng Qiuyu cooperate with Huo Yuhao and the others to expose the true face of Shrek Academy during the Soul Master Tournament, Ning Tian would absolutely not expose his purpose until he was absolutely certain.
Because he was worried that delaying would cause the disciples' injuries to turn into irreparable damage, Xuanzi finally didn't slack off along the way and flew at full speed towards Star Luo City.
In fact, if he could, Xuanzi would have preferred to take them back to Shrek and have Elder Zhuang treat Ma Xiaotao, Dai Huabin, and the others.
At least this way, no one would discover the failure of their mission.
Xuanzi knew very well that the Star Luo Empire's honored guest, Wang Xian'er, mentioned by Dai Yueheng, was indeed the number one healing-type Soul Master of the current era. Even Elder Zhuang, who possessed the Life Tree Martial Soul, couldn't compare to her.
For the sake of his disciples, Xuanzi could only grit his teeth and head to Star Luo City.
The most crucial point was that the Soul Master Tournament was fast approaching. If they returned to Shrek Academy, the round trip could very well cause them to miss the tournament.
Shrek Academy had won every Soul Master Tournament. This was a glory that had been maintained for ten thousand years, and Xuanzi absolutely wouldn't allow this honor to be broken in his hands!
Xuanzi had already made his decision. After Wang Xian'er treated his disciples, he would return to Shrek Academy alone. He would resign from his position to Elder Mu and have Shrek Academy dispatch other outstanding students to participate in the tournament.
He planned to take all the blame for this tragedy. If this incident were to be exposed, he would bear all the consequences!
Under such circumstances, Xuanzi and his group didn't take long to arrive at the capital of the Star Luo Empire. Looking at the bustling Star Luo City below, both Xuanzi and the Shrek Academy participants felt a strange mix of emotions.
They should have been greeted by the cheers of the Star Luo City's citizens under the gaze of the public.
It was indeed the center of attention now, but if these people knew what had happened to them, their cheers would likely turn to disdain!
A genius from Shrek Academy, reduced to this state by a Soul King—even the most loyal followers of Shrek Academy couldn't accept such a thing!
As their thoughts raced, several figures shot into the sky, their faces grim as they surrounded Xuanzi.
"Who are you? Don't you know that flying is prohibited in Star Luo City? If you don't land immediately, you will be considered an intruder!"
Seeing their readiness to attack, Xuanzi said coldly.
"I am from Shrek Academy! I need help from Wang Xian'er, a Contributor of the Star Luo Empire! Where is Wang Xian'er?"
Granny Manyi, a Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, was extremely displeased with Xuanzi's attitude. She had been filled with resentment towards Shrek Academy because of the previous incident where her companion was killed. Now that Xuanzi needed something, he was using such an arrogant tone; was he bullying them, thinking the Star Luo Empire had no one?
"So what if you're from Shrek Academy? People from Shrek Academy are also forbidden to fly in Star Luo City! Get down! Otherwise, it means you're challenging the Star Luo Empire!"
Xuanzi's eyes twitched, and his expression instantly became somewhat ferocious. He immediately prepared to teach this woman, who seemed to have no fear of death, a lesson.
However, fortunately, Wang Yan, who was beside him, noticed his thoughts and immediately shouted.
"Elder Xuan! Don't forget our objective! Continuing to be impulsive like this will only make the situation worse!"
Wang Yan was completely numb right now.
If he could choose again, he would definitely not become the leading teacher for Shrek Academy this time.
Working with Xuanzi was really damn difficult!
Xuanzi's mouth twitched slightly. Although he really wanted to attack these Title Douluo to vent the anger in his heart, just to carry out Shrek's tradition that those who weren't afraid of trouble were mediocre, he thought that doing so would make things more complicated, and the disciples' situation would also be very dangerous. In the end, he could only choose to endure.
"Wang Yan, you negotiate with them."
Hearing this, Wang Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief, and quickly looked at the Title Douluo on the opposite side and respectfully said.
"Several seniors, we have no ill intentions, so let's go down and talk. Staying here will only attract more attention."
The Title Douluo from the Star Luo Empire all glanced at Xuanzi when they heard this. From the beginning, they had wanted Xuanzi to lead his people to land, but this guy not only didn't listen but also prepared to attack, and this guy named Wang Yan also said they had no ill intentions?
Where did you Shrek get the nerve?
Just as Granny Manyi was about to retort, Shattered Star Douluo, one of the strongest from the Star Luo Empire, deeply glanced at Xuanzi before speaking in a low voice.
"Let's go down and talk."
At this moment, Star Luo City was packed with countless citizens eager to watch the Soul Master Tournament. If they were to start a fight with the people from Shrek Academy, it would only cause immense harm to the Star Luo Empire.
As for whether the Shrek Academy people would dare to do something like that?
Anyone who knew Shrek Academy would understand their reckless and utterly disregardful behavior.
Xuanzi snorted coldly and then led the group down. The Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire followed closely behind, fearing that this guy might suddenly erupt and do something foolish.
After all, just looking at his unkempt appearance and the way he acted earlier, it was obvious that he wasn't the brightest bulb!
Meanwhile, the citizens of Star Luo City were all discussing the scene they had just witnessed, speculating about what exactly had happened.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Meng Hongchen turned her head and asked Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, were those people from Shrek Academy just now?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. He didn't recognize the others, but he would never forget Dai Huabin. Not to mention, among those who had confronted each other in the air, there was Beibei, the one who, along with Tang Ya, had set him on a path of certain death.
Judging by their appearance just now, it was obvious that they had all suffered varying degrees of injuries. If nothing unexpected happened, it was likely caused by the Death God's Envoy.
Although Huo Yuhao didn't know the others now, he could roughly guess from their ages. It seemed that only Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, the official members of Shrek Academy, were still alive, even the reserve team members were injured.
Xuanzi was still the same Xuanzi, a useless person as always.
However, since they weren't wiped out by the Death God's Envoy and had successfully arrived in Star Luo City to join the game, the Plan to Destroy Shrek was about to officially begin!
