Jing Hongchen had already said that if he had the opportunity, he would thank Dai Hao for his family's actions, which had forced a peerless genius like Huo Yuhao to join the Sun Moon Empire.
Now that such a good opportunity had presented itself, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Dai Hao's expression immediately turned incredibly ugly.
However, before he could say anything, Jing Hongchen, after surveying the area, deliberately spoke loudly.
"The Sun Moon Empire welcomes all those who are ostracized, bullied, or even ambitious! As long as you can demonstrate sufficient talent, the Sun Moon Empire will definitely provide you with corresponding treatment! Whatever you want, the Sun Moon Empire will do its best to satisfy!"
Jing Hongchen's voice echoed over this area, and even Xu Jiawei's face turned gloomy.
He was being poached right in front of him, was he? Did he really think that he, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, had no temper? First, he was disrespected by Xuan Zi and Mu En, and now Jing Hongchen was trying to dig away his people in front of him. Xu Jiawei naturally couldn't just sit by and watch.
But before Xu Jiawei could erupt, Jing Hongchen chose to back off. He didn't say anything more, and together with Kong Deming, he led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy's contestants away.
Leng Qiuyu, the poor fellow, was also among the team.
The people dispatched by Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen had already taken Leng Qiuyu's family to the Sun Moon Empire in advance. Having lost all hope for the Star Luo Empire, Leng Qiuyu naturally couldn't stay here any longer, as he would otherwise face the relentless retaliation of Shrek Academy.
Before leaving, Huo Yuhao also took a deep look at Dai Hao and Dai Huabin, the father and son, and said slowly,
"Since you don't want to kill them, then you and the Dai family can wait for my future revenge. I hope the Dai family can hold on until then."
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ma Xiaotao, who was being guarded by Xuan Zi. When the Holy Spirit Cult learned about the Soul Master Tournament, they would probably be the first to send people to Shrek City to welcome the Fire Phoenix Saintess, right?
At that time, Shrek City would surely be more lively than ever.
Perhaps even Tang Ya, who had already become the Blue Silver Saintess, would participate in that action? He was really curious about what kind of commotion the Holy Spirit Cult would make in the end!
Huo Yuhao left without any hesitation.
But his words weighed heavily on Dai Hao's heart.
Dai Hao knew better than anyone how the royal family would treat the Dai family after this incident.
In Xu Jiawei's eyes, since Huo Yuhao already held a high position in the Sun Moon Empire and was valued by all the empire's higher-ups, the Dai family might be tempted to defect.
If the Dai family actually did something like that, the Star Luo Empire would definitely be thrown into turmoil.
Therefore, they had to eliminate the Dai family before they could act!
Watching Huo Yuhao's back, Xu Jiawei made a silent decision.
Dai Hao watched helplessly as Huo Yuhao, who could have changed the Dai family's fate, departed. He couldn't even bring himself to utter a word of persuasion, fearing that Huo Yuhao might kill Dai Huabin in front of him.
Dai Hao knew that although Huo Yuhao hadn't explicitly said it, he was actually filled with resentment towards him. The condition of having him kill Dai Huabin and his wife was merely to witness a scene of father and son, husband and wife, turning against each other.
With Huo Yuhao's status in the Sun Moon Empire, all it would take was a single word from him, and the Sun Moon Empire would undoubtedly shut the Dai family out.
The Star Luo Empire was no longer a place for the Dai family either. Not even Xu Jiawei could change that. Even the ordinary citizens of the Star Luo Empire, knowing that Huo Yuhao, a peerless genius, had been forced away by the Dai family, would likely harbor resentment and prejudice towards them.
The Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire also wouldn't accept the Dai family, the former imperial family.
Therefore, the Dai family's only way out was to seek refuge with Shrek Academy!
Even knowing that Shrek Academy was struggling to survive after this Soul Master Tournament, and even knowing that Shrek Academy couldn't possibly consider them as their own, Dai Hao and the Dai family had no other path to take!
Although there were many twists and turns in this Soul Master Tournament, apart from Shrek Academy, it was a worthwhile trip for the other academies.
Witnessing Shrek Academy's reputation being ruined was already worth the journey across the continent to Star Luo City.
Mu En watched as more and more academies began to leave Star Luo City, feeling that a storm was coming. It would be difficult for Shrek, a ship with many large holes, to survive this storm.
Knowing that the audience and the people from the academies would spread everything that Shrek had done, Mu En couldn't find any reason to change the situation.
This made him extremely wary of the mastermind behind this incident.
He didn't know who from the Sun Moon Empire had devised this plan, allowing Shrek, the continent's number one academy that had been glorious for ten thousand years, to be destroyed by this open conspiracy.
But what bothered Mu En the most was how to deal with Xuan Zi, that incredibly foolish guy.
After Wang Xian'er finished treating Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin, and the others, Mu En wasn't in the mood to talk to Xu Jiawei anymore. He bid farewell after a few brief words.
Xu Jiawei didn't stop him. After all, only after Mu En and Xuan Zi left could he arrange for people to spread the news, making the true face of Shrek Academy known throughout the continent.
As soon as Mu En and the others left, Xu Jiawei systematically arranged all his actions, including having the families of the three outer court students killed by Ma Xiaotao go to Shrek City again.
Last time, the high-level officials of Shrek Academy had used Tang Ya as a scapegoat. Now that they knew the real culprit was Ma Xiaotao, they would naturally force Shrek to execute her personally.
Meanwhile, just as Mu En and Xuan Zi were preparing to return to Shrek Academy with the remaining students, Ning Tian suddenly spoke up.
"Old Mu, I won't be returning to Shrek Academy with you. The elders of my sect want me to go back, saying there's something very important."
Mu En looked at Ning Tian deeply, knowing that the impact of this incident had already begun to surface. Even Ning Tian, the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, had started to think about cutting ties with Shrek.
Xuan Zi's expression changed, and he glared at Ning Tian, intending to scold her, but Mu En nodded directly.
"It's alright. Since the sect has matters to attend to, the academy naturally won't obstruct her."
Seeing Mu En agree, Ning Tian left without hesitation.
Mu En was increasingly impressed by Xuan Zi's stupidity. If he had stopped Ning Tian from leaving at this moment, wouldn't it have confirmed the rumors that Shrek was a sect in disguise?
How many commoners were in Shrek Academy? If all the families were to leave Shrek Academy because of this, it would be completely irreversible!
Jiang Nannan also stepped forward, looking at Mu En and asking in a low voice.
"Elder Mu, I want to know if Tang Ya was really pushed out by you to be a scapegoat for Ma Xiaotao?"
Mu En didn't answer, or rather, he didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Nannan also knew the answer, and her face turned a little pale. She gave a mocking look at Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Xu Sanshi before whispering.
"So, this is the true face of Shrek Academy? It seems I was wrong. I thought too highly of Shrek Academy before."
Jiang Nannan bowed deeply to Mu En, her beautiful face suddenly becoming ice cold.
"I'm withdrawing from Shrek Academy."
After saying this, Jiang Nannan left without the slightest hesitation, immediately turning and walking away.
Before Mu En could react, the people from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire also came forward to take Zhu Lu away, withdrawing her from Shrek Academy.
At this point, Shrek, the first academy renowned throughout the continent, was completely disgraced, beginning the prelude to widespread defection.
