Shocking!
Shrek Academy's renowned Light and Darkness Douluo, Long Yeyue, who has been famous for over two hundred years, is actually going to hold a wedding with the current Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy—seventeen-year-old Tang Wulin—at the Royal Plaza in Mingdu.
Shocking!
Tang Wulin did not inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master from the previous master, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, but was directly appointed by Light and Darkness Douluo Long Yeyue.
Shocking!
The Holy Spirit Douluo Yali has had a falling-out with Shrek Academy and announced her departure from the academy.
Shocking!
The leaders of the traitorous organization Tang Sect—the Ruthless Douluo Cao Dezhi and the Passionate Douluo Zang Xin—actually appeared at the wedding between Long Yeyue and Tang Wulin. Though the Pen God Douluo issued a warrant for their arrest, the powerful members of the Battle God Hall actually gave way to the Tang Sect leaders voluntarily.
Shocking!
Mingdu police were mobilized and crippled the Battle God Hall's Deputy Hall Master, Yue Tian Douluo Guan Yue, forcing the two Tang Sect leaders to their deaths.
Shocking!
Long Yeyue fought against the masses alone without falling behind!
Shocking!
The Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin, turns out to be a "fast boy" (a slang term implying surprising speed, possibly humorous or mocking in tone).
Shocking!
Sky Douluo Yun Ming and the two leaders of the Tang Sect allegedly had a romantic and reciprocal "top and bottom" relationship.
For the people of the Douluo Continent, today was definitely the biggest day for "eating melons" (slang for gossip or sensational news). The amount of shocking news they consumed today may have exceeded what they've heard in their entire lives.
On any other day, any one of these headlines would have trended for over a month.
But today—they all happened at once.
After the wedding between Long Yeyue and Tang Wulin concluded, the two of them left Mingdu together.
Just when everyone thought they had consumed enough drama for one day...
Another bombshell was dropped.
Shrek Academy, in collusion with the Hall Master of the Battle God Hall and the Commander of the Sea God Legion, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, has stolen the Level-12 God-Killing Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon "Eternal Heaven," which was under the guard of the Battle God Hall.
It is now known that Chen Xinjie has led the defecting Battle God Hall members and escaped to Shrek Academy.
To prevent a federal investigation into Chen Xinjie, seven top-tier Title Douluo from the Sea God Legion secretly infiltrated Mingdu and attacked Xia Hong, the officer in charge of the investigation.
The Sun-Moon Federation has now officially labeled Shrek Academy a traitorous organization—just like the Tang Sect.
That very night, the Federation launched a lightning-fast operation, arresting the families and relatives of the traitorous Battle Gods and high-ranking members of the Sea God Legion.They even began arresting students of Shrek Academy.
Xia Hong, as the lead officer, held a press conference to explain the situation to the public.
Reporters shouted out questions:
"Officer Xia, Eternal Heaven has been stolen—how will the Federation get it back?"
"Officer Xia, there's a saying: 'The innocent should not suffer for others' crimes.' Even if Battle God Hall members betrayed the Federation, what do their families have to do with it? Why arrest them?"
"And those Shrek Academy graduates—they've already left the academy. Why are they being targeted too?"
"What will happen to these detainees?"
"The Battle God Hall is the Federation's strongest weapon—what if the Battle Gods attempt a jailbreak? Can the Federation stop them?"
"Officer Xia—!"
After everyone had spoken, Xia Hong raised her hand and responded:
"I know what everyone's concerned about. First, I assure you all—the Federation will not wrong a single good person, nor will we let a traitor escape. Yes, we've made many arrests, but that's because the theft of Eternal Heaven and the mass defection from the Battle God Hall involves too many people. We are only detaining them to assist in the investigation.
If they are found to be involved in treason or the theft of Eternal Heaven, they will be executed by firing squad next week, in accordance with the law. If they are innocent, they will be released. We will interrogate everyone and promptly make the results public."
"Second, the Sun-Moon Federation has stood tall for many years. We fear no one. If Chen Xinjie and the traitors really do dare come to rescue their families—perfect. We'll capture them all in one go. Rest assured, the Federation will recover Eternal Heaven."
A reporter asked, "Officer Xia, if the Battle God Hall traitors are captured, how will they be dealt with?"
Xia Hong raised her head and coldly looked at the sky, where massive soul-screen projections showed Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin kneeling and bowing toward the Cangshan District in Mingdu. She said coldly:
"Look up. The fate of the two Tang Sect leaders will be the fate of the Battle God Hall traitors."
"Every Battle God was cultivated by the Federation with tremendous effort and resources. Without the Federation, they would not have their strength or status. But not only are they ungrateful, they betrayed us en masse. For that, even executing them a hundred times wouldn't be excessive.
If they return Eternal Heaven and surrender, perhaps the Federation will allow them a dignified death. But if they stubbornly resist—then the Federation will show no mercy."
In Shrek Academy…
Watching the soul-television broadcast, Chen Xinjie and the Battle God Hall powerhouses were completely stunned.
"Damn the Sun-Moon Federation. Damn Xia Hong. We've worked tirelessly for the Federation all these years—faithful and loyal. Even if we haven't earned glory, we've endured hardship. Yet they show no mercy, not even sparing our families!"
The Battle God Hall's Number One Battle God, Sword Emperor Douluo Long Tianwu, had bloodshot eyes.
He couldn't believe the Federation would be so heartless.
In addition to the press conference, the Federation also released footage of the arrests.
Of course, there was resistance during the arrests.
Long Tianwu had three sons and one daughter. During the operation, two sons and one son-in-law were killed on the spot while resisting.
Several of his grandchildren were also killed.
How could Long Tianwu not be filled with rage?
They, the Battle God Hall, had always been "loyal to the core" to the Sun-Moon Federation. He truly believed they had done nothing to wrong the Federation. But now—this was their fate. How could he not be furious?
The Federation's actions chilled him to the bone.
"Big brother, our families have all been arrested. What now? If we don't act soon, we'll truly become lonely outcasts."One Battle God looked to Long Tianwu.
Before Long Tianwu could answer, Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie entered. Long Yeyue said calmly:
"Didn't Xia Hong say it himself? If they're innocent, they'll be released. I know this whole incident—Chen Xinjie taking Eternal Heaven—was a sudden development. You all just followed your Hall Master to Shrek City, without time to even say goodbye to your families. They probably don't even know what happened.
Once the investigation is done, the Federation will release them."
She sneered coldly and added:
"I don't believe it. The Federation arrested thousands of people this time. You think they're really going to kill all of them?
If the Sun-Moon Federation is truly that brutal—then I say it no longer deserves to exist."
