Chapter 626 - 626: If the Sun-Moon Army Invades, We Shall Ensure Their Defeat!

A moment later, Gong Changlong entered the Sea God's Pavilion with Wang Dong and Ning Tian, stopping a short distance from Mu En.

The two young women exchanged glances, uncertain why Elder Mu had summoned them so urgently.

Still, they followed Gong Changlong's lead and respectfully bowed.

"Elder Mu."

Mu En sat in his wheelchair, his gaze settling on Wang Dong and Ning Tian.

"Wang Dong, Ning Tian… Shrek Academy is in grave danger, and we need your help."

The two were visibly surprised.

Wang Dong hesitated before asking, "Elder Mu, just how bad is the situation that even you have to call on us for help?"

Mu En sighed and began explaining everything the Star Luo Empire's losses in the war, and more shockingly, the Heavenly Soul Empire's surrender to the Sun-Moon Empire.

To prevent panic within the academy, Yan Shaozhe had ordered that most bad news be withheld from the students.

Because of this, many at Shrek Academy had no idea how dire things truly were.

Wang Dong, protected by divine consciousness, had no personal guardian and didn't bother keeping herself constantly updated on external affairs.

Thus, with Shrek Academy's information control, she had remained unaware of the situation.

Currently, with both Tang San's and Xiao Wu's divine consciousness within her, Wang Dong's own consciousness had not been further divided.

However, since her memory had been altered to erase anything harmful to Tang San, she was now an incomplete version of Tang Wutong.

Ning Tian, on the other hand, was interested in outside news and had subordinates gathering intelligence for her.

She already knew about the Star Luo Empire's defeats at the frontlines.

However, the news of the Heavenly Soul Empire's annexation by the Sun-Moon Empire had not yet reached her.

Back when the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was still the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it had been based in the former Heaven Dou Empire.

However, after the Spirit Hall's attack, the remaining sect members had been forced to relocate to the Star Luo Empire, abandoning their original sect grounds, which had been destroyed in battle.

Upon hearing this shocking news, Wang Dong and Ning Tian were stunned.

Mu En continued, "That is why I need you both to return to your respective sects.

Convey Shrek Academy's desire to form an alliance with the Clear Sky Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to resist the Sun-Moon Empire.

If they are willing, have them send representatives to Shrek Academy so we can devise a strategy together."

He had no other choice.

The situation was dire.

Shrek Academy needed as many allies as possible.

Ning Tian nodded subtly, her expression unreadable.

"Very well, Elder Mu. I will return to my sect and request that my father and the elders convene a meeting to discuss this matter.

We will determine whether we can offer Shrek Academy our full support against the Sun-Moon Empire."

Privately, however, she was skeptical.

Right now, the Sun-Moon Empire was thriving, while Shrek Academy was declining.

From a pragmatic standpoint, betting on the Sun-Moon Empire was the smarter move.

If it were up to her, she would help the Sun-Moon Empire unify the continent.

That would be the most beneficial choice for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

However, she did not have the authority to make that decision alone.

The final choice would rest with the sect elders.

Wang Dong hesitated but eventually clenched her fists.

"The Clear Sky Sect is a reclusive sect.

By principle, we should not interfere in external affairs.

However, I will do my best to convince my father and uncle to send aid to Shrek Academy."

"Good."

Mu En smiled in relief.

Then, he ordered Gong Changlong to escort the two young women out.

Soon, both had begun their journey home.

Star Luo Palace

Xu Jiawei let out a weary sigh, his expression solemn.

He turned to the elderly white-robed man before him.

"Elder Zhao… Our empire has suffered devastating losses.

And now, I have just received news that the Sun-Moon Empire has completely taken over the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Will the Star Luo Empire truly collapse under my rule?"

Zhao Zhehan turned to face the emperor, his voice firm.

"Your Majesty, though the situation looks grim, remember this

Once things become desperate enough, Shrek Academy will leverage its influence to rally the strongest forces of the Three Empires against the Sun-Moon Empire.

Once they do, I believe the tide will turn in our favor just as it did over four thousand years ago when Shrek Academy led the charge to defeat the Sun-Moon Empire."

As the head of the Star Luo Royal Worship Hall and a Rank 96 Super Douluo, Zhao Zhehan held considerable authority.

The late Medical Immortal Douluo had been his vice leader.

The Royal Worship Hall was powerful because it was essentially the Star Crown Sect's Worship Hall.

The Star Crown Sect had originally been a hidden sect before becoming the Star Luo royal family.

Thus, its elite worshippers continued to serve the empire.

Xu Jiawei gave a bitter smile.

"Elder Zhao… Do you really think Shrek Academy still has the prestige it did four thousand years ago?

That they can rally the continent as they once did?"

"Your Majesty, never underestimate Shrek Academy."

Zhao Zhehan's tone was confident.

"Even a dying camel is still larger than a horse!

We just need to hold on a little longer.

Shrek Academy will make its move."

Xu Jiawei fell silent.

He had little faith in Shrek Academy.

They had already failed him multiple times.

Even if each failure was tied to Xuanzi, Shrek Academy had still enabled him.

Dealing with them was unavoidable.

Clear Sky Sect

Wang Dong's journey home took longer than expected.

Clear Sky Sect was located near Heaven Dou City now part of the conquered Heavenly Soul Empire.

Traversing occupied territory was dangerous.

Eventually, she arrived at the sect's gates, where two towering figures awaited her.

It was Da Ming and Er Ming.

As divine envoys, they had sensed her approach long before she arrived.

They had specifically come to the entrance to meet her.

"Xiao Dong, Shrek Academy is still in session.

Why did you suddenly return?

And without warning?

If you had told us in advance, we could have sent someone to escort you back."

Er Ming smiled warmly.

Wang Dong sighed.

"Uncle Er… The academy sent me to ask the Clear Sky Sect for help.

They hope the sect will assist in resisting the Sun-Moon Empire."

Er Ming hesitated, then turned to Da Ming.

He already knew how bad things were outside.

Even though the Clear Sky Sect was officially a reclusive sect, they still had people monitoring external affairs.

Thus, both he and Da Ming were well aware of the Heavenly Soul Empire's fall to the Sun-Moon Empire.

This was a direct threat to Shrek Academy and the remaining two human empires.

Da Ming shook his head.

"The Clear Sky Sect is a hidden sect.

By principle, we do not interfere in external matters.

We only need to protect our own.

If the Sun-Moon Army comes knocking

We shall ensure they suffer a crushing defeat!"
