The fall of six Titled Douluo shook the entire Douluo Continent!
These were terrifying beings standing at the pinnacle of humanity, not just one, but six of them!
The Heaven Soul Empire and the Douluo royal family were furious. When you hit a dog, you still have to consider its owner, let alone these six Titled Douluo who were national guardians!
If they were wild Titled Douluo, killing them might have been acceptable, but these were loyal servants of the nation!
They had to demand an explanation from Shrek Academy. Otherwise, how could the royal family hold its head high in the future?
Representatives from the two empires jointly pressured Shrek, demanding the handover of the murderer!
They couldn't believe that Shrek Academy would still shield the culprit after such a massive incident.
Anyone who heard this news, no matter how powerful their faction, was utterly shocked. Six Titled Douluo, just killed like that?
"Shrek must hand over the murderer and deliver justice for our national guardians!"
Hearing these words, Xuan Zi was enraged. He hadn't even gone to confront them, yet they were playing the victim and making the first move?
Without a moment's hesitation, Xuan Zi flashed away and reappeared before the representatives of the two empires.
"What a case of the thief crying 'stop thief'!"
"These men ambushed the second and third heirs of my Sea God Pavilion. They had already fallen into demonic ways and deserved to die!"
"My Sea God Pavilion's third heir repeatedly identified himself, but these six ignored it and attacked first. They brought their deaths upon themselves!"
"I was also involved in killing them. Come and kill me if you dare!"
Xuan Zi pointed at the representatives and roared with fury.
Hearing this, the representatives exchanged glances. The facts were clear, and they were in the wrong.
After all, many powerful figures had witnessed the events in secret, leaving them no room for defense.
But they had prepared thoroughly before coming!
"While Green Eagle, Gale Wind, and Blood Crocodile Douluo may have been wrong, they were national guardians. Over the years, they've protected the royal family and the common people, dedicating their lives! Even if they had no merit, they had toil. How could they just be killed like that?"
"They were pillars of the empire. With their fall, how many more casualties will there be if the Sun Moon Empire invades?"
The ambush on Huo Yuhao was indeed wrong, but they tried to downplay it by emphasizing the achievements of Green Eagle and the others.
The world belonged to the royal family and the national guardians. Without them, the common people would suffer greatly!
Common people: Yeah, right...
The Sun Moon royal family also "sucked blood," but the happiness index of the Sun Moon Empire's commoners was far beyond that of Douluo's.
Hearing this, Xuan Zi sneered. These trash?
If the Sun Moon Empire really launched an eastern campaign, these trash would probably surrender without a fight!
After all, ten thousand years ago, when the Spirit Empire attacked the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, only the Heaven Dou Empire had kingdoms and duchies that surrendered without a fight!
Even split into the Heaven Soul and Spirit Empires, trash was still trash, a bunch of useless fools who only knew how to fight among themselves.
"Achievements? What a joke!"
Xuan Zi crossed his arms, showing no respect, and said calmly, "Four thousand years ago, when the Sun Moon Empire invaded, who stood up and saved you?"
"It was the Sea God Pavilion Master of that era, leading dozens of Titled Douluo and hundreds of Soul Douluo, forcing the Sun Moon Continent to rename itself the Douluo Continent! That's how you have the comfortable lives you enjoy today!"
"Ten thousand years ago, when the Spirit Empire attacked the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, trying to unify the Douluo Continent, who stood up to stop them?"
"It was the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters, it was the Sea God!"
"Today, you dare to ambush the heirs of my Sea God Pavilion. Tomorrow, will you dare to go to the Divine Realm and kill the Sea God?"
"Answer me!"
Xuan Zi's words were forceful, turning the faces of the Heaven Soul and Dou Ling Empire representatives as black as charcoal.
What happened ten thousand and four thousand years ago was indeed thanks to Shrek, and they had no rebuttal.
But neither the Heaven Soul nor the Dou Ling Empire, nor even the current Star Luo royal family, was willing to acknowledge Shrek Academy's contributions!
It was precisely these contributions that elevated Shrek Academy to a position where they looked down on the royal family, something the royal family found hard to accept.
Especially Shrek Academy's prestige among the common people, it was so great that the three empires of Douluo feared it!
They were terrified that Shrek Academy might become the next Spirit Empire!
What really darkened the representatives' faces was Xuan Zi's final statement.
Today, they dared to ambush the heirs of the Sea God Pavilion. Tomorrow, would they dare to...
The Sea God held an extremely revered position in the Douluo Continent. Even if they secretly wanted to do it, they could never say it out loud.
Xuan Zi sneered repeatedly. Comparing achievements with the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy?
They must still be dreaming!
"Taotie Douluo, the world ultimately belongs to the royal family, and the national guardians are the protectors of the entire empire."
"Your rash actions can be overlooked by the empire, but you must hand over Huo Yuhao!"
"If Huo Yuhao dares to attack national guardians today, he might attack the royal family tomorrow. For the sake of the common people and the safety of the royal family, Shrek must hand over the murderer!"
Their purpose in coming here was precisely Huo Yuhao!
Otherwise, knowing they were in the wrong, how could they dare to confront Shrek Academy?
This statement carried a hint of threat. It was a reminder to Xuan Zi that the world belonged to the royal family, not Shrek Academy!
Obtaining Huo Yuhao's method of contracting spirit beasts would make this worthwhile. If they didn't even get that, the royal family would not only lose face but also the people's trust.
If the national guardians died and the royal family did nothing, who would dare to join the royal family in the future?
On this matter, the Heaven Soul and Dou Ling Empires were surprisingly united.
"Hmph... hand over Huo Yuhao?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Don't think I don't know what you're after. There's no room for negotiation. You must also compensate my Sea God Pavilion's second and third heirs for their mental distress!"
"If they weren't so strong, they would have died before I could even arrive to help!"
Hearing this, the representatives twitched.
Who didn't know how terrifying that mutated Ice Bear King was?
Green Eagle and the others were doomed from the start.
"If you want to take Huo Yuhao, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
As soon as Xuan Zi said this, Huo Yuhao broke out in a cold sweat. As the Joy Envoy, he felt panic for the first time!
"Ugh..."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, feeling his scalp go numb. He wasn't moved at all; instead, he felt like throwing up!
"Taotie Douluo, is there really no room for negotiation?"
The representatives glared at Xuan Zi, their faces dark. Though they outnumbered him, they were no match for him in terms of strength.
At the top tier of power, Shrek Academy was invincible!
