Rebuilding Shrek Academy! Ya Li is on the run!
Chapter 318 Rebuilding Shrek Academy! Ya Li is on the run!
"Understood, you go down first."
"Yes."
Di Tian bowed his head, his figure gradually merging into the void and disappearing from sight.
"..."
Gu Yue stared at the spot where he had disappeared, her brows furrowing slightly, a strange feeling rising in her heart.
Today's Ditian... seems somewhat different.
She couldn't quite describe the feeling.
If I had to put it in a way, would it be that Di Tian became much more loyal?
That obedience was too natural, unlike before when he had many of his own opinions and always questioned her decisions.
"So you finally understand what I meant..."
Gu Yue's brows relaxed, and a faint sense of relief welled up in her heart.
If every member of the Soul Beast race were a loyal subject like Di Tian, what great things could they not accomplish?
With that thought, she downed the tea in her cup and gazed leisurely at Shrek City outside the window.
At the horizon, there was a vast expanse of black earth, a stark contrast to the vibrant life on the Spirit Pagoda side.
"Heavenly Dou City..."
Gu Yue whispered softly.
Shrek Academy is gone. As a member of the Tang Sect, it's reasonable for him to return to Heaven Dou City first. He can't just come directly to find her.
Hmm, that makes perfect sense...
……
Tian Dou City, Tang Clan Headquarters.
Several armored vehicles slowly drove into the depths of the base and finally stopped in front of a gray-white building.
"Wu Ling, they're all in your hands now."
Zang Xin looked at Tang Wuling and handed over the rescued researchers, including Tang Ziran, to her for settlement.
She has been separated from her family for a long time, and this is a good opportunity for them to get together more often.
"Yes, teacher!"
Tang Wuling nodded solemnly, then turned to the group of people who had just gotten out of the car and smiled.
"Uncle, Aunt, please come with me."
She took the initiative to lead the way, guiding Tang Ziran and the others toward the guest area.
Zang Xin watched them leave before turning to Jiang Yi on the other side.
"Come with me!"
The two walked one after the other through several long corridors and finally stepped into a magnificent hall.
Douluo Palace.
Several figures were already seated inside the hall: two men and one woman, an elderly man, and two young people.
Zhuo Shi sat in the middle, his aged face full of fatigue. Beside him were Wu Changkong and Shen Yi.
During this period, Zhuoshi, as the only surviving elder of the Sea God Pavilion, was under immense pressure.
Shrek is now facing its most difficult moment since its founding.
"Tap, tap, tap—"
A series of light footsteps sounded, and the three of them looked up at the same time.
Then, Zang Xin entered the main hall with a familiar figure.
"Jiang Yi!"
A joyful voice rang out in the empty hall.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed over and grabbed the person tightly.
"I knew it... you'd be alright!"
Her arm trembled slightly, whether from joy or lingering fear, it was hard to tell.
If Jiang Yi were to meet with misfortune, she would likely find it difficult to let go of the past for the rest of her life.
"Senior Sister!"
Jiang Yi blinked, then hugged her back, gently patting her shoulder to soothe her.
"Nonsense! With Palace Master Zang here, what kind of behavior is this!"
Zhuo Shi rebuked him in a deep voice and stepped forward with Wu Changkong.
However, although he had a stern face, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Hehe... It's alright! It's understandable that young people get a little emotional when they reunite."
Zang Xin waved his hand dismissively.
He wasn't one of those people who liked to follow the rules.
"..."
Shen Yi's expression hardened, realizing he had gone too far. He quickly released Jiang Yi and returned to Zhuo Shi's back.
Jiang Yi is Zang Xin's apprentice, so he can disregard formalities, but Jiang Yi himself is quite disrespectful.
"Hmph!" Zhuoshi glared at her.
Shen Yi smiled sheepishly and hid behind Wu Changkong; she was just excited for a moment.
Wu Changkong glanced at Shen Yi quietly, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yi, a barely perceptible hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
This doesn't seem quite right... but it doesn't seem like it's impossible either.
"Everyone's here, let's begin."
Zang Xin sat down in the main seat, and everyone else followed suit, gradually creating a solemn atmosphere in the hall.
"Xiao Yi, please explain the situation in detail."
Zang Xin looked at Jiang Yi.
He was a firsthand witness to the attack, and what he saw and heard was undoubtedly crucial intelligence.
Zhuoshi and the others also looked over, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Since Jiang Yi is still alive, the Sky Douluo and the others probably also have a very high chance of surviving.
However, under everyone's gaze, Jiang Yi sighed deeply.
"My godfather... has fallen."
That one short sentence made the eyes of the three men in the turbid world dim.
The Sky-Supporting Douluo was the pillar of Shrek Academy, but now that he has fallen, the difficulty for Shrek Academy to rise again will increase exponentially.
"At that time, my godfather and Elder Long died one after another... My godmother and I were also unable to escape..."
Jiang Yi lowered his eyes, his voice still filled with a lingering sorrow, as if he were seeing again the scene of the world collapsing that night.
"After being captured and taken back to the Holy Spirit Cult, my godmother and I were imprisoned separately. It wasn't until Wu Ling infiltrated the base that we found an opportunity..."
As they listened to Jiang Yi's story, everyone's hearts grew heavier.
The Sky-Supporting Douluo willingly sacrificed himself to protect the last glimmer of hope for his students; this is the spirit of Shrek Academy.
"The Holy Spirit Douluo is still alive?"
Zang Xin suddenly spoke up, his tone revealing a hint of surprise.
"Yes, I went to see my godmother before I fled, but it was too late."
"She must have escaped in the chaos... but her whereabouts are unknown."
Jiang Yi then fabricated a whole new story about how he disrupted the Demon Emperor's path to godhood.
"That's great...this is really great!"
Zhuo Shi gripped the armrest of his chair tightly, his eyes regaining their light.
This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. If Yali can return safely, it will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for the remaining Shrek members.
"The Tang Sect will do everything in its power to search for the whereabouts of the Holy Spirit Douluo."
Zang Xin also nodded slightly, making a solemn promise to the turbid world.
"Shrek and Tang Sect are of one mind; we must face this challenge together!"
The Holy Spirit Cult is vaguely associated with the Spirit Pagoda; if one falls, the other will be vulnerable, so the Tang Clan will naturally offer its full support.
Jiang Yi listened quietly, his expression unchanged.
Yali escaped, but it's unlikely she did.
"Grandmaster, Master,"
Jiang Yi then looked at Zhuo Shi and Zang Xin, and said solemnly.
"I believe it's time to rebuild Shrek Academy."
He didn't have the time to wait a few years like in the original story before rebuilding Shrek Academy. The weaker Shrek Academy was, the more suitable it was for him to control.
"Is it...too hasty?"
Zhuoshi frowned, and hesitated for a moment.
He also agreed with Zang Xin's opinion that without a strong protector, Shrek Academy would be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.
Shrek has a history of grudges with the entire Federation.
“I understand my master’s concerns.”
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, his expression calm.
"But there are countless Shrek disciples in the Federation. We don't expect them to help us, but at least they won't kick us when we're down."
"The only thing we really need to guard against is the Spirit Pagoda."
At this point, Jiang Yi turned his gaze to Zang Xin, who was standing silently to the side.
"And now, the Spirit Pagoda... is no longer qualified to attack us."
Zang Xin chuckled upon hearing this, a hint of approval in his eyes; the child's reaction was quite quick.
"That's right. Not only can we not make a move, the Spirit Pagoda will probably have to lend us a hand."
Those researchers who failed to cancel their accounts are still in their hands; this is their trump card against Qian Gu Dong Feng.
A glint of light flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes, and he chuckled softly to himself.
Is the Spirit Pagoda being threatened?
No, he wants the entire Spirit Pagoda!
"..."
Zhuoshi looked at the master and apprentice, who were speaking in riddles, with some confusion.
What are you guys talking about?
