"What happened a year ago is self-evident. Shrek Academy, Xuanming Sect, and other despicable individuals, for their own selfish gain, seized my Heavenly Court's foundation and slaughtered my disciples..."
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to launch into a speech to boost morale, someone jumped out and interrupted him.
"Your subordinate has something to say, please grant me permission, Divine Lord!"
Huo Yuhao was displeased. Was this person interrupting him now to offer an objection?
Looking at the speaker, he saw a young man around thirty years old, whose appearance was...well, let's just say he wasn't handsome.
"Speak."
Although Huo Yuhao sensed this man was about to cause trouble, he couldn't simply silence him.
"Your subordinate believes my Heavenly Court needs to re-establish friendly relations with Shrek Academy and the Sea God Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed. This man was truly audacious.
Over the years, his word was law, and no one dared disobey his will. This man, however, not only interrupted him but now spoke in a way that seemed friendly towards the opposing forces.
The others were also quite surprised. Huo Yuhao had gathered his forces, most likely intending to start a war. Wasn't this man afraid of being labeled a spy for saying such a thing at this time?
"You say you want to befriend them, but do you know what Shrek Academy did when they came to my Heavenly Court a year ago?" Huo Yuhao said coldly.
The man continued, neither humble nor arrogant, "I suppose Your Majesty is focused on cultivation and lacks knowledge, unaware of Shrek Academy's contributions to the continent.
As for what happened a year ago, I suspect some treacherous villains sowed discord. I urge Your Majesty to exercise restraint and lest you make a grave mistake, for it will be too late to regret it then."
Everyone was stunned. Some even looked at this stubborn fellow with pity. "Are you out of your mind? Even if you're dissatisfied, you can't just say it so openly. It's outrageous."
Huo Yuhao laughed, a laugh born of anger. But as he laughed, his expression suddenly turned cold. He raised his hand and slapped the repulsive, ugly face to the ground, causing the latter to cough up blood.
"You're incredibly learned, drawing a salary from my Heavenly Court, yet your heart lies with the enemy.
And you dare to speak so arrogantly, criticizing my faults? What use is someone as disloyal, treacherous, and fickle as you? Are you going to emulate Ning Zhiyuan's treason?
Guards, take this dog away!"
At Huo Yuhao's command, two Guardian Soul Masters strode in and dragged the iron-headed fellow away like a dead dog.
No one pleaded for him. Even now, everyone still found it unbelievable. What was that guy thinking?
Could such a person really exist? Was he born too hastily, leaving his brain in the womb? Come to think of it, how did he grow up to be so big? "A blood debt must be a blood debt !
My Heavenly Court disciples died with hatred in their hearts. This enmity is irreconcilable, and we will fight to the death.
Even if they escape to the underworld, to the other side of the Yellow Springs, I will slaughter them all.
Issue the order: From this day forward, my Heavenly Court declares war on Shrek Academy! On the Xuanming Sect! On the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect ! On the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! On the Snow Demon Sect! On the Dragon Slaying Sect!" The cold voice, carrying a murderous aura, not only resounded in the Holy Hall but also throughout the entire Heavenly Court, heard clearly by everyone. Everyone in the hall was shaken to their core. To challenge six major powers single-handedly—what domineering power! After the initial shock came a surge of excitement. The Golden Body Douluo was the first to step forward and declare, "Grand Elder Jin Peng of the Body Sect, leading the entire sect, is willing to submit to the God's control and obey the God's orders." Then Yue Qingtian stepped forward, saying in the same tone, "This subordinate is willing to lead the clan elders to accept the God's control and obey his commands." Finally, Zhou Qi stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and shouted, " The God is mighty and powerful! Those who offend our Heavenly Court, though far away, will be punished!"
With Zhou Qi leading the way, the others followed suit, chanting in unison, "Those who offend our Heavenly Court, though far away, shall be punished! Divine Lord, Divine Warrior!"
"Divine Lord, Divine Warrior! Divine Lord, Divine Warrior! Divine Lord, Divine Warrior!"
The voices, ringing out like thunder, pierced through the palace and carried far.
Huo Yuhao was satisfied; thankfully, there weren't many idiots.
He gazed into the distance, towards Shrek City, his heart filled with murderous intent. A bunch of clowns, dragging this out for so long—he'd make them pay back with interest.
After the meeting, everyone else went to prepare, while Huo Yuhao, led by Jing Hongchen, headed towards the Soul Guidance Hall, accompanied by Zhou Qi.
As they walked at a leisurely pace, Huo Yuhao thought of the stubborn guy who had retorted to him earlier. He asked Zhou Qi beside him, "What's the deal with that dog?"
Zhou Qi was taken aback for a moment, then belatedly realized that the dog Huo Yuhao was referring to was the traitorous scoundrel.
He replied respectfully, "This man is named Tang Wei III. His ancestors seem to have some connection with the Haotian Sect. He is currently Yang Jing's deputy."
Yang Jing, the Ascension Hall?
Huo Yuhao frowned, displeased, "So, he joined the Heavenly Court with impure motives from the start? How did someone like this pass the screening?"
Zhou Qi lowered his head and remained silent. It was obvious that someone had been bribed, and there were likely many spies from other forces within the Heavenly Court.
Huo Yuhao understood this as well. The Heavenly Court had overreached; it had backfired. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, after this, have all departments thoroughly reorganize. Deal with that damned 'Third Generation'."
Huo Yuhao was also puzzled. What kind of freak gave him such a terrible name? If this were on Blue Star, it would be considered blatant foreign worship.
"I wonder how the Divine Lord intends to deal with him?"
Zhou Qi asked cautiously.
Huo Yuhao glanced at him indifferently and calmly said, "Do I have to teach you how to kill?"
He then sneered, "Taking a salary from my Heavenly Court, yet your heart is with the enemy? Do you really think my Heavenly Court is a charity?"
"Then what should be done with his family?" Zhou Qi asked again, lowering his head as he spoke, trying to avoid Huo Yuhao noticing his unusual behavior.
Huo Yuhao was puzzled by his reaction. "Are you close to him? Why ask this? And there's a saying, 'Don't let your family suffer.'"
He thought for a moment and threw the question back, "What do you think should be done?"
"It's like this, that guy's wife has also joined my Heavenly Court, and she's quite senior. Her talent is far superior to his; she's already a high-level Soul Douluo, and she's always been quite loyal to our Heavenly Court.
Moreover, they were betrothed as children, but Tang Wei III was born with a congenital disability, and the two have lived apart since adulthood, with little to no marital affection.
Therefore, I think his wife should be given a chance."
