Chapter 214: The Tang Sect Was Eradicated Right After Its Founding

Heaven Dou City's southern part, the Force Clan's base, is the Tang Sect currently under construction.

At this moment the Tang Sect is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, with hundreds of Soul Masters among them, looking extremely imposing.

A Force Clan elder bellowed, "Who exactly are you, and why are you besieging our Force Clan?"

Leading the attacking Soul Masters was a middle‑aged man in ornate robes, exuding great nobility, apparently holding a certain rank within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

He shouted, "Audacious Force Clan, you dare to secretly manufacture large‑scale weapons of mass destruction in Heaven Dou City, intending to overthrow our Heaven Dou Imperial Family. The evidence is conclusive; by the Crown Prince's command, we will eradicate every member of the Force Clan as a warning."

Both the surrounding Soul Masters and troops were enraged, shouting, "Kill the Force Clan traitors! Kill the Force Clan traitors!"

From their demeanor they despised such traitors, never expecting anyone to secretly forge weapons inside Heaven Dou City with malicious intent.

Countless forces encircled the Force Clan, and under the leadership of many Soul Masters they launched a fierce assault on the entire clan.

The Force Clan has recently been forging Tang San's Zhuge Crossbow, seemingly confirming the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's claim.

Nevertheless, the Force Clan is a Soul Master family, housing two to three hundred Soul Masters, including many High-level Soul Masters.

Unfortunately, Xue Qinghe seemed prepared, dispatching several Soul Douluo and hundreds of Soul Masters directly under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, adopting a wholesale eradication stance toward the Force Clan.

……

Shrek Academy was likewise surrounded by troops, and among the encirclement were many Soul Masters, though it was unclear whether they were directly under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or covertly sent by the Spirit Hall.

At this moment Flanders, Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji stood at the academy's gate, with Zhao Wuji, a top Soul Douluo, positioned at the very center.

Flanders' expression turned grave: "What exactly are you trying to do? We are a lawful Advanced Soul Master Academy; even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family cannot attack us."

The leading figure of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family roared, "Director Flanders, although you are a lawful Advanced Soul Master Academy, you have secretly sheltered a Ten‑thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast and opposed our humanity. Surrender the Ten‑thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast immediately, have everyone surrender, or bear the consequences."

"Furthermore, we sternly warn all faculty and students of Shrek Academy: do not resist, or your institution will suffer the Empire's severe punishment."

"Of course, if any faculty or student voluntarily surrenders and reports, we will consider your ignorance and deception and will not pursue further charges."

At this point many faculty and students of Shrek Academy exchanged bewildered glances; they had come merely to teach or study, and dared not oppose the Heaven Dou Imperial Family over such baseless accusations.

Yu Xiaogang was unusually angry: "Stop drawing false distinctions; Xiao Wu is a student of our Shrek Academy and a classmate of everyone here. I forbid anyone from harming Xiao Wu."

Beside him, Zhao Wuji's eyes brimmed with murderous intent; his Soul Douluo aura radiated overwhelming strength, inspiring dread.

Yet the leading officials of the Heaven Dou Empire were undeterred: "Flanders, you were deceived by a Ten‑thousand Year Soul Beast; we can let it pass, but you must hand over the Ten‑thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast, or the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will not tolerate you."

"You have five minutes to consider; otherwise, bear the consequences. All teachers and students also have five minutes; after that, the same consequences apply."

As his words fell, Shrek's faculty and students fell into chaos again; the Heaven Dou Imperial Family clearly held the moral high ground, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Some naturally timid teachers and students, unable to endure the pressure of countless Soul Masters and troops, began to complain.

"Xiao Wu isn't our classmate; we have no connection to the Ten‑thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast."

"I only want to study; what does this have to do with us?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, just an ordinary student, I don't understand your lofty principles."

……

As time passed, Shrek Academy resembled a tree whose monkeys scattered after it fell; many had no deep ties with Xiao Wu or even with the academy, merely seeking to learn.

Then, under everyone's gaze, people began to leave Shrek Academy, seemingly indifferent to Flanders' disappointed expression.

In recent years, Shrek Academy has gradually changed according to Flanders' vision.

Compared with other Advanced Soul Master Academies, Shrek Academy's admission standards are slightly higher; however, it enrolls ordinary civilian students and its teaching is fairly good.

Unfortunately, whether Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, or even Er Long, the gap between them and ordinary trainees is too great; they cannot seriously communicate with every student, let alone earn each student's fervent support.

Now, as the first person left, many teachers and students began to depart Shrek Academy in succession.

As they said, they are ordinary people who neither wish nor can be linked to a Ten‑thousand Year Soul Beast.

At that moment, the rear courtyard of Shrek Academy suddenly erupted with terrifying soul power, as if top masters were dueling; a massive fire‑red dragon roared across the heavens, its body emitting endless flames.

Flanders' complexion changed instantly: "Bad, someone is ambushing our rear; Er Long seems to be fighting someone."

Yu Xiaogang's face also flushed; to make Er Long so angry, the opponent must be formidable.

But before they could leave, the leader of the forces surrounding Shrek Academy shouted, "Flanders, what are you doing, daring to ignore the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's orders? Then seize all Shrek personnel on the spot; any resistance will be killed instantly."

But whether Yu Xiaogang or Flanders, they could no longer manage the situation and sprinted back to Shrek Academy.

Seeing the crowd converge, Zhao Wuji roared, instantly transforming into a massive Vajra Bear, displaying two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings.

"Anyone who wishes to breach Shrek Academy must first get past me…"

Both the Heaven Dou Empire troops and the Soul Master Corps ignored Zhao Wuji's warning and launched a ferocious assault on Shrek Academy.

When Flanders and Yu Xiaogang reached the back of Shrek Academy, the scene was terribly bleak, as if flames filled everywhere.

Er Long spat blood, clearly badly wounded.

Opposite them stood a mysterious figure in black, clad entirely in dark robes, exuding a black aura.

Xiao Wu had already fainted, seized in one hand by the figure.

Yu Xiaogang erupted in fury, unable to believe his student Tang San had placed Xiao Wu at Shrek Academy only for her to be captured; how could he explain this…

"Who are you, daring to trespass our Shrek Academy? Aren't you afraid of the Clear Sky Sect's retaliation?"

The expert who seized Xiao Wu was none other than the Spirit Hall's Ghost Leopard Douluo.

Ghost Leopard Douluo snorted, "You're just a worthless Great Soul Master; who gave you the nerve to act brazenly before me? You're courting death."

As the Ghost Leopard Douluo's Title Douluo aura unfolded, even Flanders and Er Long felt immense pressure; Yu Xiaogang was literally pushed back several meters by the aura.

Er Long quickly said, "Xiaogang, be careful; this person is a Title Douluo."

Ghost Leopard Douluo snorted again, instantly transforming into a massive Ghostly Demon Leopard, displaying two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings, fully revealing the Title Douluo's power.

Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, and Er Long exchanged a swift glance, and within moments the three gathered together, shouting in unison.

"Sun Moon Shine Golden Brick!"

Their martial souls instantly began to fuse, forming a massive golden Sacred Dragon that stood directly before the Ghost Leopard Douluo.

It is their Triune Martial Soul Fusion Technique, granting them Title Douluo‑level combat power.

Ghost Leopard Douluo snorted, his Seventh Soul Ring flashing; a massive Ghostly Demon Leopard collided with the golden Sacred Dragon. Even with Yu Xiaogang and the others giving their all, the huge golden Sacred Dragon could not truly match a genuine Title Douluo.

Immediately after, the Ghost Panther Douluo's figure flashed, and like a black shadow he sped away from the spot; even Yu Xiaogang and the others could only follow behind him and could not catch up at all.

The Ghost Panther Douluo is a Title Douluo of the Agility Attack System, not only mysterious but also extremely fast, and Yu Xiaogang and the other two cannot compare.

The Ghost Panther Douluo's direction was toward the palace; capturing the Ten Yi Wan Nian Transformed Soul Beast was his true purpose.

However, Shrek Academy had only Zhao Wuji stationed there, so it could not protect the remaining teachers and students; soon the entire school was seized by the besieging Heaven Dou Imperial Family army, and all students and teachers were either captured on the spot, surrendered, or left directly, causing Shrek Academy to fall apart.

Moreover, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family army seemed to have long targeted Shrek Academy, dispatching many Soul Douluo to besiege Zhao Wuji, leaving Zhao Wuji unable to attend to everything.

In addition, Zhao Wuji was relatively reckless, caring only about fighting others, and could not stop the overall situation.

On the square of the Heaven Dou Palace, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe stood alone in the center, surrounded by a large number of guards.

The Ghost Panther Douluo transformed into a Ghost Shadow and arrived on the square, instantly seizing Xiao Wu, and several people immediately tightly restrained Xiao Wu.

"Your Highness, the capture of the Ten Yi Wan Nian Transformed Soul Beast has been completed."

Xue Qinghe, with a face full of praise, said: "Very good, Ghost Panther Elder indeed handles affairs efficiently."

The Ghost Panther Douluo's face showed a hint of hesitation: "Your Highness, this time I am after the Ten Yi Wan Nian Transformed Soul, but there are a few tails behind it, probably the Shrek Academy's Golden Iron Triangle; I fear they will cause a ruckus in the palace."

"Also, Pope His Holiness once issued a strict order: once the Ten Yi Wan Nian Transformed Soul Beast is captured successfully, it must be sent back to Spirit City immediately."

Xue Qinghe's expression changed: "Now is the critical moment of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup; the matter of escorting the Ten Yi Wan Nian Transformed Soul Beast to Spirit City can be dealt with later; you should know the priority of matters."

"As for the mere Golden Iron Triangle, if they dare to force their way into the palace, I will not keep them; at worst I will simply kill them."

The Ghost Panther Douluo hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, Pope His Holiness has issued a decree; we must not act lightly against the Golden Iron Triangle, otherwise we may invite other troubles."

Xue Qinghe snorted coldly: "Am I not clear about that woman's intentions? What trouble would arise from killing three useless ones? Does she think the overall situation of the Spirit Hall is less important than her petty personal motives?"
