"Third Brother, what do you think?" Ning Rongrong didn't express an opinion, but instead looked at Tang San.
Tang San's face was solemn, as if he was contemplating something. After a moment, Tang San said, "Old Dai, you can't say that. The beings of the lower realm are, after all, the common people under our protection. As a God, one should be benevolent and compassionate, understanding their difficulties."
Dai Mubai's mouth twitched slightly. Ever since Tang San became a God, he had put on airs. He used to call him Boss Dai, but now he called him Old Dai. However, Dai Mubai had no other choice. He was only a second-rank God, and even with Zhu Zhuqing, using their Hell White Tiger ultimate skill, they could only contend with a first-rank God.
Tang San held two God Positions; the Sea God was a peak first-rank God, and the Asura God was a God King God Position. Even if Tang San called him Dai Laohu, or Dai Zong, Dai Mubai couldn't complain!
Tang San sighed and said, "In the God Realm, the God of Destruction's ambition to expand the God Realm will inevitably bring a major crisis to the God Realm. The Gods of Goodness and Evil have already left. Currently, only I can stop the God of Destruction's madness. At this critical moment, for the Douluo Continent, and for the long-term peace and stability of the entire universe, we need the support of the common people on the Continent even more."
"Unfortunately, the populace is ignorant and short-sighted. The people are like smoke, drifting wherever the wind blows. They will change direction due to the instigation of some ill-intentioned individuals, questioning our past efforts to set things right on the Douluo Continent. We must be patient and learn to guide them onto the right path, the righteous way," Tang San said.
"Yes, Tang San, your lesson is correct. I got carried away," Dai Mubai said.
"Then, Third brother, what should we do next?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Her heart was originally evil. Shrek Academy's guidance for so many years failed to correct her twisted values. That means this person is beyond saving. Those who commit many injustices will perish by their own hand." A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. Through his divine sense, he contacted Ah Yin and Tang Hao, who were living in seclusion in the Star Dou Great Forest, monitoring the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
In the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, in a secluded place, Tang Hao and Ah Yin had been living in boredom for four thousand years.
Suddenly, Tang Hao's expression changed.
Ah Yin asked, "What's wrong, Brother Hao!"
Tang Hao said, "A bad element has appeared on the Douluo Continent, actually trying to revive the traditional practices of Spirit Hall. If she succeeds, wouldn't that negate my son's great achievements of the past?"
"That's true," Ah Yin said.
Tang Hao said, "What's wrong with those guys from Shrek and Tang Sect? When something like this happens, why don't they just settle it directly? Must they bother me? Hmph!"
"However, I must look after this family business, the Douluo Continent, for our Xiao San." After speaking, Tang Hao reluctantly left Ah Yin's tender embrace, put on a black cloak and hat, disguised himself mysteriously, and then went to Shrek Academy.
At the Sea God Pavilion, Li Xuan was immediately shocked when Tang Hao appeared before him. He quickly knelt down and respectfully said,
"Li Xuan, Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, greets the great Father of the Sea God, Haotian Crown."
Tang Hao nodded slightly and said, "I don't want to say any unnecessary words, as my time is limited. I'll just ask you one question: someone on the Douluo Continent wants to restore the Spirit Hall system, why haven't you dealt with it yet?"
Li Xuan said, "Haotian Crown, we are trying to persuade her to mend her ways!"
"Persuade?" Tang Hao sneered, saying, "Don't you know that her actions have deeply affected the Sea God's image in the hearts of the beings on the Douluo Continent?"
"The Sea God's authority must not be challenged. Having committed such an unforgivable transgression, you actually want to persuade her to mend her ways? Has the Sea God been away from the Douluo Continent for too long, causing you to forget the great contributions he once made to this Douluo Continent?"
Li Xuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
"I know you didn't mean it. She has some talent, and you wanted to persuade her back to Shrek. But over four thousand years, talented geniuses are like carps crossing a river. Shrek is the Continent's number one Academy, so why would it lack one or two geniuses? Can't the geniuses from my Clear Sky Sect, the Two Great Empires, and various great families compare to someone from a humble background?"
"Spirit Hall, unforgivable, should have been buried in the dust of history long ago. The only thing to be remembered about them are the sins they once committed." Tang Hao said with disgust, "Since she wants the specter of Spirit Hall to reappear on the Douluo Continent, then let her be buried along with Spirit Hall."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "As you command, Haotian Crown."
After receiving Tang Hao's command, Shrek, the Upper Three Sects, and the Two Great Empires immediately took action.
Shrek shifted from persuasion to slandering, accusing Hua Qiang and others of being Evil Soul Masters. They claimed they used evil arts to induce common people to awaken Evil Spirits, creating Evil Soul Masters, with the intention of subverting the order of the Douluo Continent.
The Two Great Empires spared no effort in slandering and spreading rumors about them. In the territories under their rule, the information the populace could access was that the great Sea God had defined them as wicked Evil Soul Masters.
Once the charges were established, they had a righteous cause. They raided the headquarters of Hua Qiang and others. To show their loyalty to Tang Hao, they almost all turned out: the Empire's army, Shrek's enforcement team, and the Sect disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, who had been reclusive for a long time, along with Tang Sect and others, under the guise of annihilating Evil Soul Masters, directly destroyed everything Hua Qiang and the Spirit Masters had worked for over the years.
Anyone whose Spirit had been awakened by them and who had advanced to a common Spirit Master was ruthlessly eliminated by these forces.
Hua Qiang had not expected Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, and these forces to target her so quickly and so brutally.
Even with some preparation, she was immediately forced into a desperate situation. Her close friend, with whom she had worked for many years, had her body shattered by a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, and her head was hung up.
Ultimately, Hua Qiang was forced to flee. Her every move did not escape the watchful eyes of the Shrek Seven Gods.
And Tang Hao was Tang San's mouthpiece and spokesperson on the Douluo Continent. Through Tang San, Tang Hao also learned Hua Qiang's location. He didn't act personally because there was no need. It would be too demeaning for him, the Father of the Sea God, to personally deal with a mere Titled Douluo.
He directly instructed Shrek Academy, the various Sects, and the Two Great Empires to surround Hua Qiang on Bakuya Mountain.
She was only a Level 96 Titled Douluo, while the opposing side dispatched two Limit Douluo and several Super Douluo. Tang Hao was watching, and the Shrek Seven Gods were also paying attention to this matter. There was no hope of turning the tide.
