"Elder Xuan, this time I'll have to trouble you to lead the team with me, taking these exchange students into the Sun Moon Empire and ensuring the mission is completed."
After the academy disciples were settled, it was time for the team leaders. The disciples going to Mingdu for observation and study were all the future hopes and pillars of the academy, and it was crucial that nothing went wrong.
Elder Xuan's expression was very strange, even a bitter one:
Me? Really me? Am I up to this?
Elder Xuan was very self-reproachful, and he despondently said to Mu En in the Golden Pavilion:
"Old Mu, I really can't do it this time. This isn't the first time something has gone wrong when I've led the team, and as the team leader, I bear the brunt of the responsibility. Therefore, I've decided to resign from my duties and position in the pavilion, and become an idle elder of the academy."
Elder Xuan's words were shocking, and Yan Shaozhe was also startled. Yan Shaozhe immediately said:
"Elder Xuan, how can you do this?"
"No one can guarantee that mistakes won't be made during a mission, and moreover, the responsibility this time isn't entirely yours. If you are responsible, then I was leading the team with you, and I should share the blame as well. The Holy Spirit Cult's powerhouses suddenly attacked this time, and even the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao participated. Mei'er and Old Song were also attacked by them, which led to our failure to protect them. It's not your responsibility, Elder Xuan!"
"Alright, Shaozhe, don't say anymore. It's not just this time. I've always felt guilty about the mistakes during Le Xuan and the others' time in the Star Dou Great Forest. Later, there was the Holy Son's descent into madness, and now even the Holy Son being kidnapped... all because I led the team..."
"I deeply feel that I am no longer suited to be one of Shrek's leaders. However, I must help with the Holy Son's matter. Even though I'm resigning, this mission concerns the Holy Son. I will go all out. Whoever Shrek wants to fight, I will fight them, even if it's Dragon Emperor Douluo. I will risk my life to take one of his arms."
It was clear that Elder Xuan was prepared to either succeed or die trying. If successful, he would retire to the second line.
"Enough, Elder Xuan. I was also involved in the incident where Qingfeng was abducted. In fact, as the Sea God Pavilion Master and the overall head of Shrek's Supervisory Group, I am responsible for all matters of the academy and the Supervisory Group. Shouldn't I be the one who resigns?"
Elder Mu's voice was calm, but carried an invisible authority. This wasn't the first time Elder Xuan had offered to resign.
In other circumstances, Elder Mu might have taken the time to persuade him, but what time was it now? Su Qingfeng's whereabouts were unknown, and they didn't know what kind of suffering he was enduring. Did they really have time to argue about responsibilities?
"You are the strongest in the academy besides me, and in some aspects, I am even inferior to you. Now, we should focus on rescuing Qingfeng, not discussing resigning or responsibilities. This is decided. Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, you two will accompany those children to the Sun Moon Empire. Remember to be cautious."
Elder Mu made the decision directly.
If Su Qingfeng knew that the academy's elders were trying their best to save him, he would definitely be moved to tears:
"Come and take me home quickly! If you don't come, my brother will be exhausted, even broken!"
地龙金瓜: "Broken? Don't worry, with me here, it won't break. It'll just... wilt a bit!"
And so, the entire Shrek Academy mobilized. A new team composed of the third generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters set off from the academy, heading silently towards Mingdu.
Clear Sky Fortress, high above, amidst swirling clouds, a scene of celestial wonder.
Standing on a towering platform, overlooking the surging sea of clouds, Titan lit a sky lantern. The lantern slowly ascended, soaring into the heavens, finally transforming into a ray of light, disappearing into the unknown.
Titan looked at the statues of Tang San and Xiao Wu within the Clear Sky Fortress. This pair had become the spiritual foundation of the fortress. He prayed, saying:
"Xiao San, it's been a long time since I've called you that. After all, you are now a God King. But this matter concerns Xiao Tong's lifelong happiness. I hope that you and Xiao Wu can consider this message and come up with a good plan."
After a moment of silence before the statues, Titan turned to Titan and said:
"Er Ming, I will wait here for news from God King Tang and Xiao Wu. You go and protect Xiao Tong. If you can save Su Qingfeng, help Shrek. However, only do so if Su Qingfeng is safe. Don't interfere too much, or God King Tang will accuse us of disrupting the balance of the continent and blame us again."
"Alright, but don't blame me for saying this, Three Bro really is something. Those Evil Soul Masters are no good. So what if we get involved? Sigh! I'm off!"
No need to say more. Titan stomped his foot, leaped into the sea of clouds, and vanished without a trace.
Soon, a huge sound came from below the mountain, a resounding boom! He was like a cannonball, blasting downward!
Passing through the outer areas, mixed zones, and even the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, where ten-thousand-year soul beasts were commonplace and even ten-thousand-year soul beasts could appear, they arrived at the deepest part.
The Great Fierce Land! Also known as the Forbidden Zone of Life. On the not-so-detailed map of the Star Dou Great Forest, this area was always marked in a bright, bloody red.
Here, it was rumored that terrifying凶兽 lived. This place was even more terrifying than the core circle of the extreme north. It was a place where even human Super Douluo dared not tread lightly.
But it was in such a legendary place that, a few days ago, a beautiful, curvaceous girl had arrived. She conveyed some information to several mysterious beings who were sleeping here.
These few terrifying super soul beasts gathered together, forming an aura that would make any soul master shudder. The soul beasts within a ten-mile radius, whether they were ten-thousand-year or ten-thousand-year, all avoided them, not daring to offend them in the slightest.
Purple-black giant wooden vines quickly traversed the forest, and a tree trunk grew with many terrifying demon eyes. A huge poisonous tree, covering the sky and the sun, stood in the center.
Emerald Swan Biji stood under the big tree, gentle and dignified, and said softly:
"Auspicious Beast, Qiu'er, has taken human form, and the Red King sacrificed himself for the Star Master. Qiu'er has come to us for help, hoping we will save this Star Master—Su Qingfeng, whom she spoke of. What are your thoughts?"
As Biji spoke, the Myriad Demon King, a Demonic Eye Tree, said, "According to the Auspicious Beast, this Su Qingfeng has a celestial appearance and is outstanding in looks; he is the most important person to her. The Auspicious Beast has never asked us for anything. This is the first time she has asked for our help, but why should we help a human?"
"That's right. Even if this Su Qingfeng is exceptionally talented, even if he has the opportunity to become a god, what's the use? Can he become someone who can control the power of the God Realm? He might even end up becoming an enemy who restricts us."
"Looking at it this way, aren't the Auspicious Beast and the Red King betraying us? I'll tear them to shreds!"
A giant bear with dark golden fur jumped out, causing the earth to tremble slightly, and roared in a rage.
"Xiong Jun, don't act rashly. We should all know the Red King; he is loyal and reliable. He would not betray us, or we wouldn't have agreed to let him protect the Auspicious Beast."
Biji soothed him gently.
"Then, Biji, what do you suggest we do? Are we really going to the human world to save this Su Qingfeng? Who will take responsibility for the consequences if we are exposed?" the Myriad Demon King asked.
"I believe that acting rashly, whether it's rescuing someone as a group or condemning the Red King and the Auspicious Beast, is unwise. We need to understand the true situation of the Red King and Qiu'er. We also need to truly understand this Su Qingfeng: his talent, his character, whether he will become our enemy, his importance to us, and to the Red King and Qiu'er, before we can make a decision." Emerald Swan Biji looked at the other fierce beasts and voiced her opinion.
"What about his looks?"
"Looks? Are you serious? What do human looks have to do with you? Do you even have that kind of aesthetic sense? Besides, we wouldn't act based on a face, would we? Are you all the type to judge a book by its cover?"
The group of fierce beasts shook their heads decisively. In this day and age, strength and reproductive ability were key. Who cared about looks?
"Therefore, we need to send a representative to infiltrate the human world, follow Qiu'er, and find this Su Qingfeng. After observation and study, we can make a decision. Who is willing to go?"
Biji looked at the fierce beasts and asked.
"I'll go. I've long wanted to see the human world and see what kind of young man could make the Red King sacrifice himself and be deeply loved by the Auspicious Beast."
A giant dragon, entirely purple-black and seemingly exuding demonic energy, soared into the clouds and finally transformed into a young woman. She was covered in purple-black scales, with a slender figure, a full chest, straight and slender legs, and white skin on her shoulders, revealing a deep cleavage.
Her long, purplish-black hair cascaded down her back, flowing without any wind, naturally swaying from both sides of her body. Her face was incredibly alluring, and her eyes were a deep purple. Her lips were a bright purple, and on her forehead, a pitch-black scale stood upright, radiating layers of purple light.
