At the moment when tensions were high, a voice rang out, "Thinking of bullying someone from Shrek Academy, have you considered the consequences?"
Everyone glanced over and were astonished to find Tang Wulin and Yuanen Zhentian arriving just in time...
Xie Xie exclaimed, "Wulin... and Elder Yuanen!"
Xu Xiaoyan said with a face full of joy, "With Elder Yuanen here, there's nothing for us to fear!"
Yuanen Yehui pursed her lips, "Wulin, you're a bit late!"
Clearly, she had been holding the line for the others, yet he had arrived so late!
Tang Wulin coughed, "Sorry... I ran into too many evil Soul Masters on the way here, so I got held up!"
As for Tang Ziran, sitting on the ground behind, he looked up at the familiar face and couldn't help but murmur, "Wulin... my child, after so many years, we finally meet again!"
Tang Wulin also turned back and looked at him deeply, "Dad... after we deal with these evil Soul Masters, we'll catch up!"
Beside them, Yuanen Zhentian didn't hesitate to release his Martial Soul, as nine soul rings appeared beneath his feet, and the terrifying aura of a level 98 Hyper Douluo exploded in an instant, completely suppressing the intimidating presence emanating from the four evil Soul Masters...
Then he said in a cold tone, "Leave that Hyper Douluo to me. As for the other three Title Douluo, are you confident you can handle them?"
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in unison, "No problem!"
The evil Soul Masters on the other side clearly sensed the shift in momentum and said gloomily, "Damn, that old fart must be one of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, with a soul power rank that is a terrifying level 98!"
"What do we do? With our strength, we're no match for him!"
One of the Hyper Douluo, clenching his teeth, said, "Don't be afraid, I'll hold off that Elder of the Sea God Pavilion. Take the chance to kill the students of Shrek Academy!"
He definitely wasn't a match for his opponent, but he was confident that he could hold him off!
Yuanen Zhentian scoffed at this, "Hold me off? Naive!"
With that, he charged straight towards them, and his fifth soul ring lit up instantly...
"Fifth soul skill, Gravity Compression!"
Behind him, the massive arms of the Titan Ape slammed down, and the gravity of the entire space increased by about twenty times in an instant. Caught off guard, all the evil Soul Masters "thudded" to their knees, overwhelmed by the pressure...
The onlookers such as Xie Xie were simply flabbergasted...
"Is... is this the strength of Elder Yuanen? Truly formidable!"
"A Hyper Douluo gains a tremendous boost in strength with each level they advance. That evil Soul Master of Hyper Douluo level is only level 95, completely on the defensive!"
"No wonder he can command the entire Yuanen Clan, just one soul skill has suppressed the opposition!"
"With this, do we even need to take action? Elder Yuanen alone is enough to butcher them!"
One of the evil Soul Masters kneeling on the ground shouted desperately, "Don't think so, Sixth Soul Skill, Demon's Blessing!!"
From his position as the center, a blood-red ripple radiated out, neutralizing the pressure affecting him and his companions!
After standing up, even within the range of the spatial compression, he showed no signs of abnormality!
Yuanen Zhentian said with intrigue, "Oh? To be immune to my Gravity Compression, interesting!"
After speaking, he charged towards the evil Soul Masters again...
Seeing this, Tang Wulin reminded, "Everyone, don't just stand there, hurry and assist Elder Yuanen!!"

No sooner had the words left their mouths, everyone snapped back to reality and released their soul skills, launching an attack on the evil Soul Master up ahead...
The scene immediately became chaotic...
...
Several days later, Dai Yueyan and the adjacent Ultimate Douluo finally broke through the Array and returned to the Star Luo Empire Palace...
Upon his arrival, the leading Daijin gave a wry smile, "Your Majesty, you've finally come back!"
The others did not disguise their worried expressions...
Dai Yueyan glanced at them and asked in confusion, "I've only been gone for a few days. Why do you all look so troubled? Has something happened?"
After hearing these words, the Daijins exchanged glances, all seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes...
They began to explain, "Your Majesty, after you left that day, representatives from the three great powers felt extremely dissatisfied. They had been waiting for several days but still hadn't seen you appear."
"And so, in extreme anger, the federation decided to declare war on Xingluo Empire!"
"Other powers didn't say anything, but it was clear they also harbored some hostility!"
"Your Majesty, now the most important issue is that the federation has already gathered a considerable number of Soul Masters and Soul-guiding Masters. They are about to launch an attack on Xingluo Empire. Should we also summon our troops and prepare for battle?"
"Hmph, if they want war, then let's war. Is Xingluo Empire afraid of them?"
If all the forces of Soul Land were to attack Xingluo Empire together, the outcome certainly wouldn't be in doubt!
But if it's only the federation, and without using the God-killing soul-guided missiles, Xingluo Empire could still give battle!
Dai Yueyan, however, decisively shook his head, rejecting these suggestions, "No, there must be some misunderstanding here, and we mustn't fall for the tricks of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master!"
Damn, I never would have expected to leave for just a short while and for such a huge mess to occur!
After calming down for a few seconds, he then ordered, "Immediately summon all of Xingluo Empire's fighters of Super Douluo Level, I have an important matter to announce to them!"
Soon, the entire high-end combat power of Xingluo Empire gathered in the grand hall...
Seeing these mighty fighters nod slightly, they respectfully said, "Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Dai Yueyan spoke softly, "There's no need for formalities. If Xingluo Empire wishes to turn danger into safety, we'll need your help!"
"Please speak, Your Majesty. It is our duty to protect Xingluo Empire!"
The speaker was Xingluo Empire's Imperial Tutor, the dean of Monster Academy, and also the strongest in Xingluo Empire!
Sage Dragon Dou Spirit, En Ci!
Dai Yueyan nodded and said gravely, "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Because the Holy Spirit Cult attacked a federation team in one of the cities within Xingluo Empire, the relations between both sides have worsened, and war is about to break out."
"For this reason, I hope that you will lead the troops to defend the various cities of Xingluo Empire, but do not act against the federation's teams on your own initiative!"
"At the same time, the royal household will negotiate with the federation to end this farce as much as possible!
Upon hearing this, the powerful fighters spoke one after another, "We see, the matter is in our hands, Your Majesty!"
"As long as the federation does not take the offensive, neither will we. Otherwise, we will have to let them taste some bitterness and see whose territory this is!"
"That's right, Xingluo Empire is not afraid of war, we just don't want unnecessary sacrifices!"
Dai Yueyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Your Excellency Saint Dragon, please stay behind for a moment; the rest of you, go and prepare."
