Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the White Fox

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

The master of the Sea God Pavilion, recognized as the strongest on the continent, Skycovering Douluo Yun Ming, had not truly been angered for decades. However, today, he abandoned his usual gentle demeanor, and his terrifying killing intent made the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion tremble with fear. "Damn those evil soul masters, Shrek Academy will fight you to the death."

His face was black with rage.

Not just Yun Ming, even the gentle and kind Holy Spirit Douluo Yali had a fierce look in her beautiful eyes.

Clearly, the actions of the Demon Empress had thoroughly enraged her.

Not just ordinary people, but even some Shrek Academy students who had seen the posters would glance at the key parts of the statues of the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters and the Golden Iron Triangle as they passed by.

Especially Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, who were lone heroes and received extra attention.

Although these students were cautious, their actions were subconscious, and they would quickly avert their eyes after a fleeting glance, but how could such behavior escape the notice of the powerful beings in the Sea God Pavilion?

Neither Yun Ming nor Yali could blame these students, as their actions were instinctive.

Some Shrek Academy students even slapped themselves after feeling they had disrespected the academy's ancestors.

Under such circumstances, how could Shrek Academy punish them?

Punishing them would only make the impression even more profound.

If Shrek Academy students were like this, others who had seen the posters would likely recall the content in their dreams or before sleep.

Especially the Sea God's wife Xiao Wu, the Nine-colored Goddess Ning Rongrong, and the Speed God Zhu Zhuqing.

When the Shrek City defense forces were searching the city for posters, they found many people secretly hoarding posters of them.

They even encountered...

If no action was taken, the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters might transform from sacred symbols to something more obscure.

"Notify the federal government immediately, no matter what means they use, they must stop the evil soul masters at all costs. If they really produce that anime and promote it widely, the consequences will be a hundred times worse than now," Yun Ming said in a low voice, his gaze at Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er turning sinister.

If she hadn't let Hu Yun in, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so dire.

But it wasn't Cai Yue'er's fault. Even if the entire Sea God Pavilion had been involved, no one would have expected the Holy Spirit Church, with strength rivaling the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and the Spirit Pagoda, to resort to such despicable methods.

"I had the federal government investigate immediately. The Dream Chasing Media company does exist, and Hu Yun is indeed a manager there, but by the time the federal troops arrived, all the technical staff and equipment had vanished," Cai Yue'er said, braving the pressure.

From the moment Hu Yun entered Shrek Academy, she sensed something was off and immediately asked federal officials to investigate.

Only after confirming Hu Yun's identity did she let him leave.

When flyers suddenly rained down over Shrek City, she realized Hu Yun and Dream Chasing Media might have colluded with the evil soul masters.

She immediately requested federal intervention. Upon hearing about the evil soul masters, the federal government didn't hesitate and sent troops into the city.

After the lesson with Nana Li, the federal government dared not send police to deal with evil soul masters.

By the time the federal troops arrived, Dream Chasing Media was already deserted.

The federal forces found nothing.

Yun Ming staggered and collapsed into his seat.

"They have the technology and equipment. Notify the federal government immediately, they must find these people at all costs and shut down the websites hosting those posters," Yun Ming felt as if the sky was falling. For the first time in his life, he felt utterly helpless.

He knew the evil soul masters wouldn't be easy to deal with.

Even if the federal government shut down those websites, the evil soul masters could easily create hundreds more.

But now, he had to trust the federal government. Otherwise, if the evil soul masters really produced that anime,

the consequences could be a hundred times worse.

"This is too much. Master, give the order. Even if it costs me my life, I will fight these filthy creatures to the death," Light and Darkness Douluo Long Yanyue stood up abruptly, slamming the table, which was made from the Golden Tree, into powder.

"Fight to the death? How? Who do we fight? Can we find the evil soul masters' lair?" Yun Ming smiled bitterly. As the recognized strongest on the continent, if he could locate the Holy Spirit Church's base, he would have stormed it long ago.

Without knowing the Holy Spirit Church's location, no matter how strong he was, he had nowhere to direct his power.

Seeing the table shattered by Long Yanyue, he wasn't angry. The entire Shrek Academy leadership was seething with rage.

Long Yanyue had a fiery temper, and if she didn't vent, who knew what might happen.

Moreover, in terms of seniority, no one here surpassed Long Yanyue.

Even if she accidentally broke something in the Sea God Pavilion, no one would dare say a word.

"The evil soul masters aren't fighting us with strength but using these despicable methods, leaving us helpless and forced to accept passively," Holy Spirit Douluo Yali said helplessly.

"Are we just going to do nothing?" Light and Darkness Douluo Long Yanyue asked indignantly.

Holy Spirit Douluo Yali pondered for a moment before saying gravely, "Either we take the initiative to negotiate with the evil soul masters, or we wait for them to strike again and try to capture some high-ranking members to find out their base location."

She was not only gentle and kind but also intelligent, knowing these words shouldn't come from the Sea God Pavilion master, Yun Ming, so she spoke them on his behalf.

If Yun Ming, as the Sea God Pavilion master, suggested negotiating with the evil soul masters, his reputation would be ruined.

And Shrek Academy would be shamed along with him.

"Negotiate with the evil soul masters? Holy Spirit Douluo, do you realize what you're saying?" Light and Darkness Douluo's gaze turned sharp, her aura intensifying significantly.

Not just Long Yanyue, the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion also cast disapproving looks at Yali.

Every member of the Sea God Pavilion had been a genius in their youth.

Each was proud and unyielding.

Even when facing enemies several times stronger, they had never backed down.

Now Yali was suggesting they yield?

To evil soul masters?

How could they accept that?

Seeing this, Yali quickly explained, "I'm not suggesting we truly yield to the evil soul masters, but use negotiation as a pretext to stabilize them, at least to handle the current situation."

"Enough! Unless you kill me, don't expect me to compromise with those filthy creatures," Light and Darkness Douluo Long Yanyue said coldly.

"Sigh," Yali sighed softly. She had anticipated this outcome.

Unless Sea God Tang San himself appeared, it was impossible to persuade the members of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Alright, in that case, we can only seek cooperation with the Tang Sect, the federal government, and the Spirit Pagoda to set a trap. When the evil soul masters show themselves again, we can capture a high-ranking member and find out their base. But I must remind everyone, this time the evil soul masters targeted the Sea God's ancestors, next time it might be us," Holy Spirit Douluo Yali said gravely.

Yali's words turned Light and Darkness Douluo Long Yanyue pale.

"What do you mean?" Long Yanyue asked urgently.

She didn't want to lose her dignity in her later years.

"Don't worry, among us, my reputation among the common people and soul masters is the greatest. If the evil soul masters really target us, they'll likely come for me first," Yali forced a smile, uglier than a cry, to comfort Long Yanyue. Now she understood that sometimes, fame wasn't a good thing.

Even she couldn't imagine how she would react if what happened to the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters befell her.

She had glimpsed the posters today; they were utterly obscene.

Fortunately, the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters were no longer in the Douluo Continent.

Otherwise, a bloodbath would have ensued.

"Hmph, today we were just unprepared. Otherwise, how could those vile evil soul masters dare to scatter flyers over Shrek City?" Light and Darkness Douluo snorted.

Today's events were too sudden.

Otherwise, Shrek City not only had Shrek Academy's leadership but also the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda's leadership.

The number of Limit Douluos exceeded a handful.

If targeted, even a Limit Douluo wouldn't escape.

Today's incident largely occurred because the three major powers in Shrek City never expected evil soul masters to dare cause trouble in Shrek City.

Plus, those scattering the flyers were at least Super Douluo level experts, who fled immediately after scattering the flyers.

By the time Shrek Academy reacted, they were long gone.

"The evil soul masters certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to cause trouble in Shrek City again, but there are so many cities in the world. Can we control all of them simultaneously?" Yali smiled bitterly. "If we don't yield, our only hope is to cooperate with the federal government and the Spirit Pagoda to have a chance."

No matter how influential Shrek Academy was, it was still just an academy.

They had no manpower in other cities and could only seek help from the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, and the federal government.

Only then could they resist the Holy Spirit Church across the entire federation.

Holy Spirit Douluo Yali knew this approach would have minimal effect. Even if the federal government deployed all its troops, distributing them across all cities would leave each with few soldiers.

Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit Church could concentrate their forces to attack a single city.
