A few days later, Dai Yueyan and the Ultimate Douluo beside him broke through the formation and returned to the Star Luo Empire Palace...
Seeing his appearance, the lead minister smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, you have finally returned!"
The others also didn't hide the worry on their faces...
After scanning them briefly, Dai Yueyan asked in confusion, "I was only gone for a few days, why do the faces of all the ministers look so bleak? Did something happen?"
Hearing this, the ministers exchanged glances, revealing the helplessness in each other's eyes...
They all began to speak, "Your Majesty, the matter is like this. After you left that day, representatives of the three major forces felt very dissatisfied and waited for several days, yet you still did not show up."
"As a result, the federation, in extreme anger, decided to declare war on our Star Luo Empire!"
"Although the other forces didn't say anything, their hostility has obviously increased!"
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is that the federation has already gathered many Soul Masters and Soul Engineers and is about to launch an attack on the Star Luo Empire. Shouldn't we also assemble the army to prepare for battle?"
"Hmph, if they want war, then war it is. Does our Star Luo Empire fear them?"
If all the forces on Soul Land attacked the Star Luo Empire at once, there's no question about the outcome!
But with just the federation, and without using the God-killing soul-guided missiles, the Star Luo Empire can still fight!
However, Dai Yueyan decisively shook his head, denying these suggestions, "No, there's definitely a misunderstanding in this matter. We can't fall for the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Master's tricks!"
Damn, who would have thought such a big problem would arise from just leaving for a short while!
After calming himself for a few seconds, he said, "Now, immediately summon the Super Douluo level powerhouses within the Star Luo Empire. I have an important announcement to make to them!"
Soon, all of the Star Luo Empire's high-end combat power gathered in the grand hall...
These powerhouses nodded slightly and respectfully said, "Your Majesty!"
Dai Yueyan softly said, "No need for excessive courtesy. This time, to ensure the Star Luo Empire's safety, we need your help!"
"Please speak, Your Majesty. Protecting the Star Luo Empire is the duty of all of us!"
The speaker was the Imperial Tutor of the Star Luo Empire, the Dean of Monster Academy, and also the strongest in the Star Luo Empire!
The Saint Dragon Spirit, En Ci!
Dai Yueyan nodded and seriously said, "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Due to an attack by the Holy Spirit Cult in one of the cities within the Star Luo Empire on a federation team, the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated, and war is about to erupt."
"Therefore, I hope you will lead the army to guard various cities of the Star Luo Empire but do not engage the federation's troops without permission!"
"Meanwhile, the royal household will mediate with the federation to try to end this farce!
Hearing this, the powerhouses successively said, "Understood, we will handle this, Your Majesty!"
"As long as the federation does not initiate an attack, neither will we. But if they do, they'll have to suffer here and see whose territory it is!"
"Exactly, our Star Luo Empire is not afraid of war; we just don't want meaningless sacrifices!"
Dai Yueyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, please remain behind, Your Excellency Saint Dragon, and everyone else, go prepare."
After these Super Douluo level powerhouses left, Dai Yueyan turned his gaze to En Ci, "Dean, long time no see!"
For this dean, who he once was a Monster Academy student under, Dai Yueyan naturally maintained a respectful attitude at all times!
En Ci smoothed his white beard, "Indeed, ever since you and Yun'er left Monster Academy, it has been quite some time since we last met!"
Seeing this, Dai Yueyan said once more, "Please have a seat first..."
En Ci did not stand on ceremony and sat down beside him...
In truth, he was the only one in the entire Star Luo Empire who could stand on equal footing with the current emperor!
Dai Yueyan curiously asked, "Dean, how is Long Yue doing now?"
En Ci thought for a moment and replied, "Long Yue has been diligently cultivating at Monster Academy and is likely not far from breaking through to the Titled Douluo level!"
Long Yue, as his last disciple, naturally would not lack talent!
...
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips, "Since that's the case, Longkong, this time you will lead the Shrek Seven Monsters to ensure their safety!"
Wu Changkong nodded and stood up, "Yes, Elder Cai, Elders, I will take my leave first!"
With permission granted, Wu Changkong left the Sea God's Pavilion...
At this moment, Long Yeyue curiously said, "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen Longkong in action. I wonder what level of strength he's reached now!"
Feng Wu Yu also glanced sideways, "Turbid World Elder, Longkong is your disciple, you should have some understanding, right?"
Turbid World was momentarily stunned and replied, "I remember Longkong broke through to the 97th level Super Douluo half a year ago. In two or three years, he might reach our level!"
Speaking of Wu Changkong, a few hints of pride subconsciously appeared on his face!
After all, he is his only and most talented disciple!
Ya Li chuckled lightly, "Yes, it seems that Long Bing... that incident back then had quite an impact on Longkong, otherwise, he wouldn't have devoted himself entirely to cultivation!"
Tang Yinmeng sighed, "It's also good for the Academy; it adds another powerhouse!"
Lan Muzi gave a noncommittal nod, "Indeed... Longkong's progress in cultivation is much faster than mine back then!"
But the truth is, Wu Changkong had consumed Immortal Herbs, which completely transformed his meridians, allowing his Soul Power to circulate faster!
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to break through several levels in just two or three years!
Cai Yue'er interrupted the conversation in time, "Let's not discuss this now; there's another very important issue that needs to be resolved!"
"After so many years of development, there are nearly a hundred inner court students now! It's time to hold the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference!"
She knew that bringing up this suggestion now seemed very abrupt, but there was no choice; the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference is a traditional event of the inner court!
At this statement, all the elders were taken aback...
Evidently, they had all put the idea of the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference behind them!
Upon regaining their composure, Turbid World was the first to express, "I think we should skip it. With the current tense situation on the Continent, if the Holy Spirit Cult attacks while we hold the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference, it will be quite unfavorable!"
Now, without Yun Ming present!
If several deacons of the Holy Spirit Cult act at the same time, it could result in very serious consequences!
Ya Li showed a gentle expression, "The Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference aims to help the inner court students find their beloved partners. Still... even if we don't host it, those passionate youngsters will probably act on their own."
If they truly love each other, hosting the Sea God's Pavilion Matchmaking Conference is actually not that important!
Long Yeyue pursed her lips, "I think that our Shrek Academy has been dormant for quite some time; perhaps we indeed need an event to enliven things!"
