Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the White Fox

Yesterday, the reason why Shrek Academy advanced the wedding of Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu was because of the Tang Sect's fighter jet crashing within the North Sea Legion's defensive waters.

Yun Ming was also a disciple of the Tang Sect and was aware of the underground weapons factory in Heaven Dou City. He understood better than anyone that if the Tang Sect's underground weapons factory was exposed, the consequences would be catastrophic.

However, with all the influential figures from across the continent attending, the wedding could not be canceled.

Thus, Yun Ming hoped to conclude the wedding as quickly as possible so he could join the Tang Sect in pressuring the Federation government to force the North Sea Legion to release Zhao Xiongy.

If he could successfully marry Leng Yaozhu, he might even persuade her to have the Spirit Pagoda join forces with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect in applying pressure on the Federation.

The reason why the Amorous Douluo, Zang Xin, did not immediately go to Heaven Dou City to negotiate with the Federation was that he wanted to wait until the wedding ended so they could use the combined influence of the three great factions to exert pressure on the Federation.

With these three millennia-old organizations applying pressure together, even the Federation government would have to reconsider its stance.

But neither Yun Ming nor Zang Xin had anticipated the chaos that would unfold at Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu's wedding.

Now, Yun Ming and Shrek Academy were struggling to protect themselves and could no longer spare any effort to aid the Tang Sect.

On the other side, the North Sea Legion also found itself in an awkward position. When they arrived at the crash site, all they recovered were the wreckage of the aircraft—there was not a single body to be found.

It was Tang Sect's Blue Eagle fighter jet that had trespassed into their military defense zone.

They simply wanted an explanation from the Tang Sect, but now the Tang Sect was accusing them of detaining people they never had in custody.

The North Sea Legion was primarily controlled by the Shen family from Mingdu, and most of the officers were graduates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Upon hearing the Tang Sect's accusations, Shen Gong, the head of the Shen family and the commander of the North Sea Legion, immediately convened a high-level military meeting.

This meeting lasted for more than an hour.

Inside the North Sea Legion's Command Room

Shen Gong, seated at the head of the table, spoke in a deep voice:

"Based on my analysis, the Tang Sect's Blue Eagle fighter jet likely never had anyone inside from the start. This entire incident is a setup orchestrated by the Tang Sect themselves."

A lieutenant general furrowed his brows. "Why would they do that?"

Shen Gong slammed his fist onto the table. "The Skycovering Douluo is about to marry the Heavenly phoenix Douluo. With their three factions united, the Federation government is already wary of them. In the Parliament, we have always supported the dovish faction, but we are all graduates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have always looked down on us."

His voice grew heavier. "Now that these three factions have allied, if we fail to produce Zhao Xiongy and his team, we will be their first target."

"This is blatant framing!"

Another colonel, visibly enraged, shouted, "We never detained Zhao Xiongy! Even if we had, they were the ones who piloted an invisible fighter jet into our restricted military zone! If we had captured them, we would have every right to execute them on the spot! What gives them the right to demand their release?"

An admiral spoke up coldly, "The Tang Sect's real target might be Devil's Island."

Another officer slammed his fist on the table. "If I had known they would be this shameless, we should have executed those captured Shrek Academy students years ago!"

Over the years, Shrek Academy had repeatedly ignored the military rules of the North Sea Legion in their attempts to infiltrate Devil's Island.

The North Sea Legion had always chosen to endure, avoiding direct conflict to prevent unnecessary escalation.

But this time, the Tang Sect had taken things a step further by fabricating an accusation against them while acting as if they were the victims.

"This is beyond shameless! A Hyper Douluo and four Titled Douluos? If they truly had that level of power infiltrating our defense zone, shouldn't we be the ones questioning their intentions?"

Just as the discussion grew more intense, a soldier suddenly rushed into the room.

"Report!"

Shen Gong frowned but allowed him to enter.

The soldier quickly approached, whispered something in Shen Gong's ear, and then left.

"Outrageous!"

Shen Gong erupted in fury, slamming his fist onto the conference table and shattering it into pieces.

"That damn Amorous Douluo is demanding to search our military base! Do they think our base is a public playground?"

If he had the strength, he would have stormed into the Tang Sect himself to demand an explanation.

The Shen family held significant influence in the Federation. If they allowed the Tang Sect to search their military base, regardless of the outcome, the Shen family and the North Sea Legion would become a laughingstock.

A general spoke up, "Under no circumstances can we allow the Tang Sect to get away with this. If they insist, we'll fight them! I'd like to see if they dare to force their way into our military base!"

At that moment, an officer smirked. "If the Tang Sect wants to play dirty, we can too. Why don't we claim that their Blue Eagle fighter jet was shot down by the Holy Spirit Cult? We'll say that Zhao Xiongy and his team were also captured by the Holy Spirit Cult. That way, this entire situation has nothing to do with us."

The officers looked at each other before bursting into laughter.

"Excellent idea! If the Tang Sect has the ability, they can go find the Holy Spirit Cult and ask them!"

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy

The wedding procession was about to depart when Zang Xin, who was inside the Sea God Pavilion, heard the latest news. His face darkened with rage.

"Blaming the Holy Spirit Cult? Shameless! The Blue Eagle fighter jet went down in your defensive waters, and now you're shifting all the blame onto someone else? Do you even have any sense of shame?"

Yun Ming sighed. "Let's deal with the wedding first. Afterward, we'll figure out a plan. No matter what, we must rescue Zhao Xiongy before the North Sea Legion can make him talk."

An Hour Later, Back at the North Sea Legion

Shen Gong suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! The Skycovering Douluo got rejected at his own wedding! And he embarrassed himself in the process! Announce it to the public! Demand that the Tang Sect explain why their fighter jet and Hyper Douluo were infiltrating our military waters!"

Shen Yue, Shen Gong's eldest daughter, chimed in. "We should also release the wreckage of the Blue Eagle fighter jet and exaggerate its capabilities. Let's claim that its performance surpasses anything the Federation has ever developed."

Shen Gong's eyes lit up. "Brilliant! That way, it won't be our failure but rather proof that the Tang Sect's technology is too advanced! The Federation will be more wary of them than of us!"

Somewhere Else, XIa Yi and Gu Yue Were Observing

Gu Yue turned to Summer Yi. "What do you think?"

Xia Yi shook his head. "A battle of weaklings."

Gu Yue's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "You're that confident?"

Xia Yi smirked. "It doesn't matter whether the Tang Sect is fabricating accusations or whether the North Sea Legion really detained them, or even if the Holy Spirit Cult is behind it. Both sides are handling this terribly."

Gu Yue leaned in. "So, if you were in charge of the Tang Sect, how would you handle this?"

Xia Yi opened his mouth, then suddenly stopped and smirked.

"I'm not telling. I'd rather let them stew." Xia Yi glanced at the direction of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy and laughed.
