Chapter 471 The Pure and Immaculate Tang Clan; Boomerangs Are Always So Fast; Ma Hongjun: Unfortunately, There Are No Ifs
Traitor!
This was the first word that came to mind for the other Blood Gods present.
Apart from the high-ranking traitor within the federal government, the other Blood Gods couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.
They all stared intently at Ao Rui or Zhang Huanyun, hoping to get the specific truth from them.
Upon hearing this, Ao Rui flicked his sleeve, meeting everyone's gazes without flinching, and coldly snorted, "Besides the federal government's military factories, there is currently no other force in the entire Douluo Continent that possesses completely independent arms factories and is capable of producing high-level fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells on a large scale. If you use your brains a little, you should know who it is, right?"
Although Ao Rui did not explicitly name which faction he was referring to, none of the people present were fools. Almost instantly, the gazes of the other Blood Gods all fell upon Blood Six.
The thin, middle-aged man, who was still catching his breath, noticed the strange looks around him and instantly became angry, shouting, "How is this possible! What do you mean by looking at me like this?"
Who doesn't know that our Tang Clan has always had an irreconcilable feud with the Holy Spirit Cult! Ten thousand years ago, our Tang Clan's ancestors, Spirit Ice Douluo and Butterfly God Douluo, personally led an expedition to completely destroy the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters at that time.
In the battle against the Abyss Plane more than 6,000 years ago, our Tang Sect's leader at the time was killed when he was fighting an Abyss Emperor.
Given such a long-standing grudge, how could the Tang Sect possibly have any ties with the Holy Spirit Cult, or even provide them with fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells? This is utterly ridiculous and a completely fabricated slander!
Xue Liu paused, then retorted, "On the contrary, throughout history, who doesn't know that the Sun and Moon Royal Family ten thousand years ago, in order to unify the continent, was able to establish the Holy Spirit Church as the state religion without any bottom line?"
Within the current federal government, there are quite a few high-ranking officials with pure Sun and Moon bloodlines!
Who knows if those greedy politicians have truly lost their minds, disregarding the lives of countless people in their quest for power and profit, and secretly supporting the Holy Spirit Church?
Even though the words that just made alluded to the Tang Sect were spoken by Ao Rui, whom they had always respected and trusted, Xue Liu, who firmly believed that the Tang Sect was as pure and righteous as their ancestor Tang San, could not accept such a thing as throwing dirty water on their own head.
Xue Jiu, who also came from the Temple of War and unconditionally trusted Ao Rui's words, directly retorted with sarcasm: "Does your Tang Sect still have the nerve to use the name of Spirit Ice Douluo to glorify yourselves? Who here doesn't know what happened in the God Realm?"
"At least Shrek Academy still retains traces of the Ice Douluo's existence, but what about your Tang Sect? You've long since considered him a taboo subject and never mentioned him again!"
Stunned by Xue Jiu's sharp and straightforward words, Xue Liu's face flushed red, and his chest heaved.
On the other side, a middle-aged woman who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old and had a dignified appearance chuckled and said, "Oh, Xiao Jiu, don't get so excited."
Who knows? Perhaps during the decades that Xiao Liu was transferred to the Blood God Camp to guard the area, some kind of change occurred within the Tang Clan's upper echelons that we are unaware of.
After all, if the current leader of the Tang Sect were in the era ten thousand years ago, he would have been hunted down by the Shrek Academy's surveillance team immediately.
Blood Three's words, seemingly helping Blood Six out of a tight spot, were actually more venomous than Blood Nine's, further confirming the possibility of a connection between the Tang Sect and the Holy Spirit Cult.
It's not surprising, really. For hundreds of years, Shrek Academy has faced not only overt and covert suppression from the federal government and the Spirit Tower.
Even the Tang Clan, who were originally like brothers, remained in a state of self-preservation at this critical moment, ignoring the series of crises that Shrek Academy was facing.
The relationship between Shrek Academy and Tang Sect is not close at all now; in fact, it can be described as superficial.
Not to mention, according to the intelligence she recently obtained, Yun Ming finally broke through to the god level after going through countless hardships.
However, when he sought an explanation from the federal government, he was instead captured by the mysterious and unpredictable God of Love through a series of schemes and is now being imprisoned in a prison in Mingdu, suffering endless humiliation.
Yun Ming, as Xue San's cousin, is also her only family in this world.
With all these factors combined, she had to make some gestures to bow to the federal government in order to give Yunming a chance to live.
Everyone present naturally understood the veiled meaning behind Xue San's words.
Zhang Huanyun was also quite troubled. He had guessed from the beginning that if the Tang Clan's provision of weapons to the Holy Spirit Cult were exposed, it would definitely cause the nine Blood Gods, who were of the same ilk, to become suspicious of each other.
This is also why he had been trying to conceal the news and secretly carry out the plan to arrest members of the Holy Spirit Cult.
But who could have imagined that plans would be completely thwarted by changes?
At this moment, Zhang Huanyun could only bite the bullet and try to smooth things over: "Alright, everyone, say less. The nine of you in the Blood God Camp should be of one mind and one body. Only in this way can you unleash the power of the Blood God Formation to suppress the abyss."
Personally, I believe that Blood Six has nothing to do with this matter. As for the specifics of the situation, we'll have to wait for the Federation to conduct a thorough investigation and make a decision.
But one thing is certain: the federal government will never let any scoundrel who colludes with evil spirit masters go unpunished, nor will it wrong an innocent person.
Just as Zhang Huanyun finished speaking and the tense atmosphere began to ease, a streak of eerie green light swept down from the sky and arrived in front of everyone in the blink of an eye, causing several people present to become wary again.
But the clear female voice emanating from the flowing light left them somewhat puzzled.
"It's me, Nanali. I'm one of you, everyone, don't be nervous, don't fire randomly. By the way, where's my master? Why isn't he with you?"
The light stopped, revealing a black-haired girl who was holding a woman whose face was covered by a black veil and who was in a deep sleep.
His other hand dragged a fixed-mount soul-guided cannonball, its entire body gleaming with a metallic sheen and faintly radiating a terrifying and destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.
This combination is extremely bizarre.
Ling Zichen, who was completely enveloped in pink mecha, stared wide-eyed at the god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannonball that Nanali was dragging in her hand.
Even though she was the chief researcher at the Federal Research Institute and held a very high position within the Federation, she had no authority whatsoever to study the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, which was regarded as a national treasure.
In order to get her to assist in this mission, Chen Xinjie made a condition that she could study the God-Slaying Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball to her heart's content before returning to Mingdu after the mission was completed, as long as she did not detonate the cannonball.
Although she failed to achieve her expected results during this mission due to various unforeseen circumstances.
But Ling Zichen would never give up such a windfall.
Perhaps after she finishes studying the core secrets of the single positive cycle source carried by this god-slaying cannonball, and combines it with the blueprints that Huo Yuhao gave her before, she will be able to solve the core energy supply problem of the Death Ray Tower in one fell swoop.
If successful, this envisioned god-level soul tool will be truly realized in the Douluo Continent.
Thinking this, Ling Zichen stepped forward and removed the mecha covering his face. Suppressing his excitement, he spoke as softly as possible, "Nanali, you should still recognize me, right? According to the agreed plan, I will handle this god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell. I will ensure its safety."
"Oh, then you can take it."
Nanali didn't care about anything and simply threw the ten-foot-tall cannonball at Ling Zichen.
With his other hand, he threw the dark angel directly towards Yuanen Yehui's location, shouting, "Yuanen, catch it! Your mother's resurrection depends entirely on the demonic bloodline within this dark angel!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Enhui steadily caught the unconscious Dark Angel.
Whether a perfect ending of motherly love and filial piety can be achieved in the future depends entirely on this, so she naturally cannot be careless.
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Xue San frowned, her heart filled with confusion. She couldn't help but question, "Nanali, why aren't you staying at the academy? Why are you here instead?"
If she remembered correctly, Nanali, as the newly appointed vice dean of the academy, did not stay at the academy to help everyone overcome the difficulties at this critical moment when the academy's survival was in danger.
Instead, they traveled thousands of miles to capture evil soul masters, and even inexplicably recovered the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that should have been secretly controlled by the Federation.
The fact that they could even recover the god-killing shells alone is an incredible achievement.
The more Xue San thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. His previous dejected mood vanished, and he said loudly, "Could this be Elder Long's intention to deliberately make you take a risky move to save the situation so that the academy can redeem itself?"
"Your contribution this time is immense. Not only did you recover the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, but you also eliminated the Holy Spirit Cult's spies in this area. When you return to the academy, I will personally recommend you to join the Sea God Pavilion and become an elder."
Originally, Xue San was still thinking about what way he could get Yun Ming a chance to survive from the Federal Parliament or even from that God of Love.
Unexpectedly, Long Yeyue, who was described by others as a coward who deserted in the face of battle, was actually secretly plotting to preserve the academy's strength.
It seems she misunderstood Long Yeyue. She thought Long Yeyue was a coward who disregarded Yun Ming's life.
After all, given that Cupid suddenly descended upon Mingdu from the Valley of Love and Destiny with ill intentions, a strategic retreat was the best option.
Now, she decisively arranged for Nunnally to secretly intervene in the Federation's mission, thwarting the Holy Spirit Cult's conspiracy.
It seems that, thanks to this tremendous achievement, there is indeed a possibility that the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Federation can be repaired.
Upon hearing this, Nanali curled her lip without any mercy.
Now, only a fool would want to stay on Shrek, this leaky, sinking ship.
Not to mention, her original identity was that of a mole planted by the Holy Spirit Cult within Shrek Academy.
If it weren't for their master's kindness and lingering affection from their time at the academy, he would have already taken swift and decisive action to wipe out Shrek Academy. They wouldn't be left here to eke out a living.
"Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but let's skip the nomination of an elder for the Sea God Pavilion."
Nanali shrugged. "I was originally a pawn planted in Shrek by the Holy Spirit Cult, and I've been lying low for many years without being discovered by you."
Fortunately, he met his master, and under his guidance, he suddenly realized his mistake, broke free from the control of the Holy Spirit Cult, and decided to reform himself and become a new person.
From now on, I will only stay with my master and serve him faithfully. As for the academy and all that, I'm really not familiar with you."
After Nanali finished speaking, she paid no attention to Xue San's increasingly interesting expression. Instead, she kept looking around, searching for Huo Yuhao's whereabouts, only thinking about returning to her master's side as soon as possible to claim credit.
Xue Liu, who was already furious about the Tang Clan's alleged involvement in arms trafficking, suddenly spoke up with a smirk: "Oh, Third Sister, you had the nerve to talk to me so sarcastically just now."
"You Shrek Academy claim to be the top academy on the continent, yet you don't even know when a mole infiltrated your own ranks, and you even promoted her to vice dean. It's truly laughable."
"snort."
Xue San's face was as cold as frost. He merely snorted and said no more in rebuttal.
She clearly hadn't expected the boomerang to hit her head so quickly, and her shame and anger had reached their peak.
That shameless Long Yeyue, it's one thing that she abandoned her cousin's life and ran away on her own.
What despicable things is she doing now that she's in the academy? What kind of abyss is she trying to lead Shrek Academy into?
Meanwhile, outside the temporary Sea God Pavilion compound on Sea God Island, Shrek Academy.
A brilliant red sun, accompanied by the resounding cry of a phoenix, descended straight down from the sky. As the red light faded, it transformed into a slightly plump man with long, bright red hair.
His small eyes, filled with complex emotions, quietly surveyed every blade of grass and tree around him.
Especially when his gaze fell on the huge pit in the center of the island, an uncontrollable sadness flashed in his eyes.
That was the ancient golden tree that Third Brother personally transplanted, which has protected Shrek Academy for ten thousand years.
Now that everything has vanished completely, it would be a lie to say that Ma Hongjun doesn't feel sorrow.
Shrek Academy was a warm and welcoming place for him, like home.
However, Bai Chenxiang's passing was such a blow to him that it caused him to become depressed.
Furthermore, in the era that Huo Yuhao lived in, there were clearly his bloodline descendants in the Douluo Continent, some of whom even possessed extraordinary talent and reached the cultivation level of Limit Douluo.
However, due to the so-called grand plan devised by his third brother, which forcibly severed the connection between the Douluo plane and the God Realm, he was unable to sense the aura of that descendant.
Otherwise, he would have insisted on passing on his Phoenix Godhood no matter what, and wouldn't be all alone like this now.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world. Ma Hongjun withdrew his gaze and sighed again.
