Chapter 458 Yun Ming: This must be fake news created by artificial intelligence; has Wu Tong made no progress at all?
Chen Xinjie also wanted to see what unreasonable demands Yun Ming could come up with now.
Who knows, once the results are out, they might wipe out any last bit of goodwill Huo Yuhao had for Shrek Academy in this era.
In this way, the Douluo Federation will no longer need to worry about anything when dealing with matters related to Shrek Academy, and can just go ahead and do it.
"It's actually quite simple. The Federation just needs to agree to three of my requests."
Yun Ming casually held up three fingers and waved them in front of Chen Xinjie, saying arrogantly, "The first point is that your previous request for so-called school merger is utterly ridiculous."
Shrek Academy possesses a profound heritage passed down for thousands of years, and it is not something that just anyone can touch.
As for the Monster Academy, I will personally lead the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils to the Star Luo Continent to reclaim our lost glory. We will show them with facts who truly deserves the title of the number one academy in the Douluo Continent.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie nodded slightly and said calmly, "It's a very reasonable request, and I can agree to it right now."
The political task of merging Shrek Academy with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was proposed and led by Chen Xinjie himself.
He originally thought of giving Shrek Academy a relatively good ending, still considering their past relationship.
Judging from Yun Ming's current attitude, the most correct choice might be to completely destroy and expel Shrek Academy.
Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about whether or not schools are merged.
Hearing Chen Xinjie agree so readily, Yun Ming subconsciously raised an eyebrow, then quickly glanced at the others present.
Seeing that none of the legion commanders objected, Yun Ming felt a strange unease, but he suppressed this unusual feeling and continued to speak coldly: "As for the second point, I need the Federation to formally reaffirm the special political status of Shrek City and Shrek Academy from a legal perspective."
After all, Shrek has always been an independent territory, with its own autonomy in all aspects, and should not be subject to excessive jurisdiction or interference from the federal government.
Finally, on behalf of the academy, I need to reclaim control of the Spirit Pagoda, which rightfully belongs to the academy. I believe you all have no objections to these two points.
Regarding this second point, Yun Ming's idea was simple: the Federation would often find all sorts of grand excuses to take action against Shrek Academy.
As long as we can force the Federation to back down and acknowledge Shrek's special political status.
Therefore, even if he were gone, it would be extremely difficult for the Federation to legally annex Shrek Academy through legitimate political means.
However, what Yun Ming cared about most was actually regaining control of the Spirit Pagoda.
Why did Shrek's team suffer a crushing defeat in the previous battle against Monster Academy?
Aside from Long Yue from Monster Academy, who possessed Soul Saint cultivation at less than two thousand years old, Yun Ming felt the key issue lay in the fact that in recent years, the Federal Government and the Spirit Pagoda had colluded to blatantly suppress Shrek Academy's resources in various fields.
In this era dominated by spirits, even within the academy itself, some advanced spirit inheritances have been preserved thanks to its own resources.
But how could this compare to the vast amount of soul energy accumulated by the Spirit Tower over tens of thousands of years?
Only by regaining control of the Spirit Pagoda can the academy truly rest easy and continue to stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.
As Yun Ming finished speaking, a slight disturbance was clearly caused at the scene.
The eight legion commanders looked at each other in disbelief. Even the legion commanders who were usually close to Shrek Academy had expressions of utter disbelief.
They couldn't believe that Shrek's ambitions had grown to such an extent; not only did they want complete independence, but they also threatened to take back the Spirit Tower.
What is Shrek trying to do?
Do they intend to follow the old path of the Spirit Hall from tens of thousands of years ago and establish the Shrek Empire?
Instead of getting angry, Chen Xinjie laughed, leaned back in his chair, and said leisurely, "Sect Master Yun, the second point you mentioned, which is about status, is actually not difficult to achieve."
After all, everyone in the Soul Master world knows that Shrek Academy has always been a special entity as a country within a country. To show sincerity, it wouldn't hurt for the federal government to reiterate this status.
However, regarding your third point, the Spirit Pagoda is an independent force and is not a subordinate agency under the jurisdiction of our federal government.
Furthermore, there were no high-ranking representatives of the Spirit Pagoda present, and we do not have the authority to decide the ownership of the Spirit Pagoda.
If you truly want to regain control of the Spirit Pagoda, I think you'll have to personally go to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and have a serious talk with the newly appointed Pagoda Master to see if he's willing to relinquish his position to you.
Chen Xinjie hadn't expected that Yun Ming, who had just become a god, would have such swollen ambitions, even planning to extend his reach to the Spirit Pagoda and try to get a share of the profits.
Now, the real backer behind the Spirit Pagoda is Huo Yuhao. He was just worried about how to further reduce Shrek Academy's importance in Huo Yuhao's heart, but Yun Ming made a foolish mistake and handed him the knife directly.
He was naturally happy to see this self-destructive behavior succeed, and was even willing to fan the flames from behind the scenes.
Yun Ming sensed the evasiveness in those words, and his brows furrowed tightly.
He was well aware that regaining control of the Spirit Pagoda would not be easy, but Chen Xinjie's unusually cooperative attitude today was too strange and completely unlike his usual tough and unyielding style.
Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, interrupting Yun Ming's thoughts.
With a strange look on his face, Zang Xin walked quickly toward Chen Xinjie, then leaned down slightly and whispered a few words in Chen Xinjie's ear.
Soon, Chen Xinjie also showed a surprised expression.
Not only Chen Xinjie, but the projections of the other eight legion commanders sitting on both sides also seemed to have received urgent intelligence from their respective subordinates at the same time.
Their faces were all filled with disbelief and shock.
The gazes of several people who looked at Yun Ming again no longer held the previous apprehension, but instead carried a strong sense of sympathy.
Completely unaware of what was happening, Yun Ming felt an increasingly strong sense of unease in this strange atmosphere.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he asked directly, "Judging from your expressions, something terrible has obviously happened outside. And is this matter related to me and even the entire Shrek Academy?"
Chen Xinjie also dropped his relaxed and lazy demeanor, revealing a rare seriousness on his face.
He never expected that Huo Yuhao's business at Shrek Academy would be so shocking.
The news that the ancient golden tree that had stood at Shrek Academy for ten thousand years had been destroyed was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Yun Ming. He would probably go insane on the spot and fight desperately.
However, since this matter has become so big, it is impossible to hide it from Yun Ming. Rather than waiting for it to continue to spiral out of control, it is better to control this bomb that could explode at any time as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinjie didn't say anything, but instead turned on a control switch on the table.
Soon, a projection screen appeared in mid-air in the center of the table.
The content scrolling on the screen was a news report about the disappearance of the Golden Tree.
Yunming's first reaction upon seeing this news was disbelief.
But as the news continued to play, his expression began to change drastically, quickly shifting from initial confusion to shock and anger, and then to disbelief.
Finally, all the emotional fluctuations subsided, transforming into an eerie calm before the storm.
The atmosphere in the entire council hall began to become increasingly stagnant and heavy as Yun Ming's aura and pressure continued to rise.
"Okay, very good."
Yun Ming spoke in a low, hoarse voice, staring intently at Chen Xinjie.
"I never expected that your Federation would resort to such despicable means to deal with me and suppress the academy, taking advantage of the academy's weak defenses."
They even went so far as to send someone to impersonate the Butterfly God Douluo from ten thousand years ago, hoping to take the opportunity to destroy the Golden Ancient Tree. You'd better tell me now that this is just fake news fabricated by your artificial intelligence!
Otherwise, I guarantee that I will take retaliatory measures of equal measure and completely wipe the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy out of Mingdu!
Yun Ming's voice had completely lost its usual gentleness, leaving only an unyielding, icy killing intent.
He never believed that the destruction of the Golden Tree was actually the work of the real Butterfly God Douluo.
After all, in his eyes, Tang Wutong was not an outsider like Huo Yuhao; the one inside that golden ancient tree was her own grandmother.
As a descendant of the Tang family, how could Butterfly God Douluo possibly do such a rebellious thing?
Yun Ming did not immediately overturn the conference table and take action, still harboring a sliver of hope.
This is believed to be a despicable tactic deliberately employed by the federal government to gain the upper hand in negotiations.
The purpose was to provoke him into losing control and taking action in a fit of rage, so as to legitimately destroy the positive image that he and the academy had maintained in the eyes of the federal people.
However, as Yun Ming's personal soul communication device emitted a slight notification sound, he merely took it out and glanced at the message on the screen.
The next instant, a terrifying pressure erupted like a volcanic eruption.
The round table in front of Yun Ming, made of spirit-forged metal, instantly turned into dust under this oppressive force.
The projections of the eight legion commanders, after a series of violent flashes, could not withstand the energy impact and dissipated.
"Chen Xinjie, you truly deserve to die!"
Not long ago, in a secluded shady spot outside the Federal Parliament building.
Having finally arrived at the meeting point after a long journey, Tang Wutong looked around and asked with a slightly complicated expression, "Aunt Zhuqing, why isn't Yuanen with you?"
"She and the others have other important tasks."
Zhu Zhuqing explained softly, "Leng Yulai, Cao Dezhi, and others who rushed here from Qiankun Wenqing Valley are making arrangements at key points throughout Mingdu."
Since Mingdu is not far from Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Rongrong can project her power over there if she makes prior preparations.
Once the formation is complete, the ordinary people of Mingdu should be safe.
Regardless of the circumstances, Ning Rongrong's cultivation level was the highest among their group.
In addition, the unique geographical location of Qiankun Wenqing Valley allows for a wide range of possibilities.
After explaining the current situation, Zhu Zhuqing immediately changed the subject and asked softly, "Your affairs should be handled properly, right?"
"But you seem a bit off right now. Did Yuhao go off on his own again?"
For Zhu Zhuqing, who is always very perceptive, guessing Tang Wutong's thoughts at this moment was extremely easy.
This time, however, it was clearly a rare opportunity for Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao to be alone together.
Logically speaking, after this trip together, there should have been some progress between the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wutong's eyebrows drooped slightly again, her expression revealing an undisguised sadness and confusion.
Just as she was about to ask Zhu Zhuqing for advice on what to do next, a deafening explosion, accompanied by a tremor that shook the earth, suddenly came from the direction of the Federal Parliament building.
Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Wutong were both startled, and their eyes turned to look at each other simultaneously.
The once magnificent and solemn parliament building was mostly destroyed in the violent explosion, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
The panicked crowd scurried around like headless flies, screams and cries filling the air, creating a scene of extreme chaos.
In mid-air, two figures, one blue and one gold, faced each other from afar.
The terrifying pressure of soul power collided continuously, generating visible energy ripples that turned the sky above Mingdu into a mix of blue and gold, completely obscuring the original sunlight, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Chen Xinjie narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn.
As he continued to mobilize his soul power, the azure light emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger, like a deep ocean suspended in the sky, trying to resist the oppressive golden brilliance.
"Yun Ming, if you want to fight, I will fight with you. But the people of Mingdu are innocent; they should not be affected by our battle."
Or are you really going to disregard everything and destroy this capital city with tens of millions of people?!
Nowadays, the life energy in the Douluo plane is becoming increasingly scarce, and the spatial strength of the plane is far less than before, unlike ten thousand years ago when it could still withstand the battle of the three gods.
Let alone the energy aftershocks generated when god-level soul masters clash, even the energy storm generated when limit douluos duel, if released without restraint, could potentially destroy a city into ruins.
This is why, when he made a pact with Yun Ming to find an opportunity to break through to godhood, he chose to set the battlefield on the sea.
