Moreover, no one thought that Shrek’s quest for vengeance would fail this time. After all, how many powerhouses had they managed to recruit?

The Sea God’s Pavilion meeting also signified that the new generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters were fully prepared.

Tang Wulin looked around him and found that every single person had a solemn expression, whether it was a powerhouse from Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect. Deep-seated hatred was brewing in their hearts.

Who among them had not lost a friend or family member in the attack on Shrek City?

How glorious had Shrek City been in the past? It was genuinely the number one city on the continent! For all that, it was completely destroyed in mere moments.

The Shrek Seven Monsters could still clearly remember every word spoken by Yun Ming before his passing and his determined gaze.

Tang Wulin stood up slowly and raised his right hand. There was a flash as a bolt of lightning struck it, and a silver-white spear appeared in his grasp. It was Yun Ming’s Atlas Divine Spear.

“In the name of the Atlas Douluo and with the Atlas Divine Spear bearing witness, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect are officially waging war against the Spirit Pagoda’s Qiangu Clan from this day onward!”

The words were spoken with firm determination. Tang Wulin’s eyes were glowing with electric radiance. The oppression he felt and the anticipation he had for countless nights was finally about to burst out at that moment.

The people stood up in unison. All at once, countless dominating thoughts rose into the sky from the inside of Sea God’s Pavilion. Ripples and waves appeared across the entire Sea God Lake.

The moment had finally arrived!

One day later, an official statement appeared in the leading media.

It was Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s denunciation of waging war.

The content went as follows: Through multiple investigations and acquisition of evidence, the perpetrator of the attack on Shrek City using two Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunitions was the Holy Spirit Cult. The leaders of the Spirit Pagoda’s Qiangu Clan colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult and aided their efforts to perpetuate the wicked deeds. Today, Shrek and the Tang Sect are officially waging war against the Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda’s Qiangu Clan. We will fight to the death and we won’t stop until it’s over!

The statement was so simple and direct. There was no mention of any particular evidence. It only declared Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s intentions to the entire Douluo Continent.

You said you wanted evidence, huh? Shrek and Tang Sect’s words were the evidence. They were neither a law enforcement agency nor the federal parliament, and they were not trying to prove something with evidence. Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had joined hands to tell everyone that they were waging war against the Spirit Pagoda’s Qiangu Clan. Their only target was the Qiangu Clan.

The continent broke into a clamour as soon as the statement was published. The parliament was in a commotion.

Both the Hawk Faction and the Dove Faction were shocked.

On the matter of seeking revenge, should one not do it in secret by oneself? Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were so ambitious that they had actually announced to the public that they were seeking revenge so brazenly. What should law enforcement do in this situation?

 1Everyone knew the significance of the great catastrophe to those two great organizations. Even though many people had already figured that this would happen sooner or later, they did not expect Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect would display their intentions so boldly.

They wanted to use the most direct way to fight Spirit Pagoda by force.

No one knew about the whereabouts of the Holy Spirit Cult, yet the Spirit Pagoda’s headquarters were not far away from Shrek Academy!

The Spirit Pagoda responded quickly and made a public announcement at once. The general idea was that they condemned Shrek and the Tang Sect’s false accusation. Furthermore, they expressed that the Spirit Pagoda had absolutely nothing to do with the incident that took place in the past. It was the Holy Spirit Cult that brought the great catastrophe. The Spirit Pagoda had no connection with the Holy Spirit Cult either. They called for Shrek Academy to procure real evidence and backup their claims.

Shrek Academy did not respond to them at all and they had no intention of steering public opinion either.

They say that ‘the turbulent wind precedes the mountain storm’. After the denunciation was published, it would not take long before their plans for vengeance would be initiated.

All at once, this situation drew in the attention of everyone. Their attentions were fixed upon the center of the continent where Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s territory was.

The Federation issued an official letter to the two great organizations separately, trying to pacify them and keep them calm. The Federation was of the opinion that this was a society governed by laws and requested that Shrek Academy submit even more information and evidence for them to give a fair judgment.

For their part, the Hawk Faction and the Dove Faction sent out specially assigned envoys to the two organizations in an attempt to intervene.

However, the new Shrek City was in complete lockdown. The two teams of representatives were not allowed to enter the city at all.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Pagoda gave out a series of complaints. Yet, what use were the complaints?

Soon afterward, the Spirit Pagoda made another public announcement. They remarked that if Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were to actually move against the Spirit Pagoda, they would adopt retaliatory measures as required. All at once, the atmosphere became more tense.

The Douluo Continent had managed to remain peaceful for less than a year, but in just two short days, a storm was brewing all over again.

The War God Hall openly expressed that it would not be involved in this matter and that this was Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s enmity for the Spirit Pagoda. The War God Hall made some neutral remarks about hoping that both sides would exercise restraint. Nevertheless, everyone could tell that the battle for vengeance was already unstoppable at that point.

The federal parliament dispatched two armed squads made up of mecha master troops. They were stationed at the only path between the new Shrek City and the Spirit Pagoda. This was the only action the parliament could take at the moment. It was the most explicit blockade.

Even so, could two mecha troops stop the fury of the vengeful Shrek and Tang Sect?

The third day arrived!

In the new Shrek City, Shrek Academy’s door opened up, and a line of people walked out slowly.

There was a total of twenty, and they had no graceful mannerisms. They walked step by step in a calm manner directly toward the Spirit Pagoda.

The man walking at the forefront was the current Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect’s Sect Master, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin.

The people following by his side were the Shrek Seven Monsters, the Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi, the Strength God A Ruheng, the Skyfrost Douluo Wu Zhangkong, and the younger generation of outstanding soul masters including Lan Muzi and Tang Yingmeng.

There was also the terrifying Limit Douluo lineup as well.

They were the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, the Titan Douluo Yuanen Zhentian, the Heaveny Wild Douluo Yuanen Tiandang and the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu.

They were the seven great Limit Douluos!

In the distance, the two mecha troops were already within their view, but this group acted as if they were oblivious to it. They walked straight toward the mecha troops.

The two mecha troops in the distance had been constantly monitoring the situation at Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda. When these people walked out of Shrek, the two mecha troops responded at once.

The mechas rose into the sky in succession. The numerous mechas formed a barricade in the sky and on the ground, hoping to block the path of the group from Shrek Academy.

A red mecha descended from the sky and landed before the group.

The mecha’s chest cracked open. A soldier dressed in the uniform of a major general leaped out from the inside.

This man had a tall and burly figure. He had a majestic bearing, tightly furrowed brows and a helpless expression on his face.

He bowed ever so slightly in salutation to Tang Wulin and the rest of the group that stopped walking. He said respectfully, “Our respected Tang Sect Master and Your Excellencies, I’ve been tasked by the federal parliament to maintain order here. I would like to request that you not make things difficult for us. After all, it’s against the federal law for you to seek revenge openly like this. There’s really nothing we can do. I know that our fragile force here is incapable of stopping all of you from advancing. However, I am bound by my military duties. If you insist on going over to the other side, you’re going to have to cross our two mecha troops’ dead bodies then.”

Before he came, he had already figured out that it was simply a fool’s dream that his two troops worth of armed forces would stop the people from Shrek Academy. He could only make use of Shrek’s penchant for peace and their pledge of never involving the innocent to possibly slow them down.
