Chapter 1742
Besides, no one was of the opinion that Shrek Academy would fail in this revenge operation.
The new generation of Shrek’s Seven Monsters had already matured, and as Tang Wulin looked around the room, he was met with the decisive eyes of everyone, regardless of whether they were members of Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect.
Intense hatred was currently brewing in their hearts.
All of them had lost friends and loved ones during the Shrek City bombing, not to mention all of the other innocent lives that had been lost during the disaster.
The past Shrek City was the number one city on the continent, the most prosperous city in all the lands, but it had been completely destroyed in a single night.
All of Shrek’s Seven Monsters could still clearly recall every single word that Yun Ming had said prior to his death and the determined look in his eyes.
Tang Wulin slowly rose to his feet before raising his right hand, and a silver spear instantly appeared in his grasp amid a flash of light; it was none other than the Divine Atlas Spear.
"In the name of the Atlas Douluo with his Divine Atlas Spear acting as witness, from this day forth, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect officially declares war on the Qiangu Family!"
Tang Wulin\'s voice was completely implacable, and his eyes were glowing brightly. The countless nights he had spent mourning and hoping were finally going to bear fruit now.
Everyone stood up in unison, and a series of almighty auras erupted within the Sea God\'s Pavilion, causing the entire Sea God\'s Lake to ripple and churn.
The long-awaited moment had finally arrived!
One day later, an official statement appeared in all major media outlets; it was a declaration of war from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
"After extensive investigation, it was discovered that the Holy Spirit Cult had been responsible for the Shrek City bombing that took place several years ago, with the Spirit Pagoda led by the Qiangu Family acting as accomplices. Today, Shrek City and the Tang Sect are declaring war on the Holy Spirit Cult and the Qiangu Family, and we won\'t rest until both those parties are brought to justice!"
The statement was very simple and concise without any evidence given. This was a declaration made to the entire Douluo Continent that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect didn\'t require any evidence to do what they wanted.
They weren\'t a legal organization, nor the federal parliament. Furthermore, they weren\'t trying to prove anything by providing evidence; all they were doing was informing everyone that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had joined forces to declare war on the Qiangu Family, and the Qiangfu Family was their only target.
The statement created a massive stir throughout the entire continent, and both the Dove Faction and Eagle Faction were astonished.
Wasn\'t revenge supposed to be exacted in secret? How were the law enforcement departments supposed to react to this?
At the same time, everyone knew just how heavy a blow that disaster had dealt the two superpower organizations, so many people had guessed that this would happen eventually, but they didn\'t think that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect would be so direct about it.
No one knew where the Holy Spirit Cult was, but the Spirit Pagoda headquarters was located near Shrek Academy, and it was a prime target.
The Spirit Pagoda reacted very quickly, immediately releasing a public statement in response, strongly accusing Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect of slander, while vehemently emphasizing that it had nothing to do with the Holy Spirit Cult or the Shrek City bombing. In addition, it requested that Shrek Academy provide concrete evidence to support its claims, but Shrek Academy merely ignored this statement, completely refusing to entertain it.
Having already released such a statement, it seemed that the revenge operation would commence before too long.
All of a sudden, everyone across the entire continent had its attention focused on Shrek City.
The federal parliament had issued letters to the two superpower organizations, urging them to exercise restraint in this society that was ruled by law, and it also requested that Shrek Academy provide more evidence so that the parliament could judge this matter.
Furthermore, both the Dove Faction and Eagle Faction had sent representatives to Shrek City to try and mediate the situation, but Shrek City remained shut off to the outside world, refusing to grant the representatives entry.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Pagoda was desperately seeking assistance from the federation, but to no avail.
It then released another public statement, stating that if Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were to act against the Spirit Pagoda, then it would retaliate accordingly, and thus, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Within a short span of two days, the Douluo Continent was once again plunged into unrest after less than a year of peace.
The Battle God Hall had publicly stated that this was a matter between Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Spirit Pagoda, so it wouldn\'t be getting involved; it only expressed an urge for both sides to exercise restraint, which was essentially the same as saying nothing. Everyone could see that this revenge operation could no longer be stopped.
The federal parliament immediately stationed two mecha corps on the route between the new Shrek City and the Spirit Pagoda, and that was the best the parliament could do on such short notice to try and prevent this conflict.
However, would two mecha corps really be able to stop Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect?
On the third day, a group of people emerged from the front gate of Shrek Academy.
There were only just over 20 people in the group, and they weren\'t giving off any overbearing auras as they calmly strode directly toward the Spirit Pagoda.
The group was led by the current Sea God\'s Pavilion Master and Tang Sect Master, Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin.
Accompanying were Shrek’s Six Monsters, Sima Jinchi, A\'Ruheng, Wu Zhangkong, Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng, and the other leading figures of the younger generation.
At the same time, there was a formidable Limit Douluo lineup comprised of Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, Titan Douluo Yuanen Zhentian, Free Sky Douluo Yuanen Tiandang, and Qilin Douluo Tongyu.
This was a total of seven Limit Douluos!
In the distance, the two federal mecha corps were already visible, but the group continued to make its way toward the mecha corps as if they didn\'t exist.
The two mecha corps had been keeping an eye on Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda this entire time, and they immediately reacted as soon as the group emerged from Shrek City.
One mecha after another rose up into the air in succession, forming a barrier to try and stop the Shrek Academy group.
A red mecha descended in front of everyone, and a soldier in a major general uniform emerged from within.
This was a tall and broad figure with an authoritative appearance, but he currently wore a resigned expression.
He extended a slight bow toward Tang Wulin\'s group, and said, "Greetings, Sect Master Tang, I was instructed by the federation to maintain order in this place, so please don\'t make my job more difficult than it needs to be. Openly exacting revenge is illegal, and I know that we won\'t be able to stop you, but if you insist on continuing onward, then you\'ll have to step over the corpses of myself and my comrades."
Prior to coming here, he already knew that there was no way that two mecha corps could stop everyone from Shrek Academy. As such, he could only stall the Shrek Academy group by using their love for peace and reluctance to harm innocent individuals against them.
