"You brought so many people, Old Poison Monster, do you truly intend to wage war against my Shrek Academy?" Lin Huiqun asked cautiously.
Once the Body Sect and Shrek Academy went to war, it would likely be a mutually destructive outcome.
"What are you to question this old man?!" Dugu Bo completely disregarded Lin Huiqun. All his attention was currently on Mu En.
Mu En knew that Dugu Bo was coming on strong today, and there was no escaping it. This fellow was already domineering, and now that he had broken through to Limit Douluo, he would probably become even more arrogant.
Helpless, Mu En could only step forward and say, "Dugu Bo, Elder Lin has no right to question you, but what about this old man? What exactly do you want to do?"
Dugu Bo sneered, "Haha, this old man's intentions are all in this letter, Mu En, receive it."
Dugu Bo flicked his hand, and a thin letter slowly floated towards Mu En, landing precisely on Mu En's outstretched palm.
Dugu Bo was definitely not just a brute. His precise control over power had long reached an ethereal realm.
Mu En opened the envelope and was immediately met with the large characters "CHALLENGE." This was clearly a declaration of war.
Mu En began, "Challenge..."
"What's wrong? Read it out." Dugu Bo said. Could it be that this Mu En is illiterate? If so, what's the point of him specifically writing a challenge letter with such swagger?
Mu En calmly turned the paper over and said, "There's nothing after that."
Dugu Bo's eyes instantly widened. On the paper, there were indeed two large characters "CHALLENGE," but nothing else.
"Old Jin, what are you playing at?" Dugu Bo glared furiously at Jin Peng. So this guy said he'd written a full page, but it was just two words written large enough to fill the entire page.
"Sect Master, just tell me if the letter filled the page. What does it matter if there are few words? Haven't you heard the saying, 'everything is left unsaid'?" Jin Peng said brazenly.
Yun Yi helplessly massaged her forehead. That was actually what she had wanted to say yesterday.
Dugu Bo asking Jin Peng, this simple-minded, brawny fellow, to write an emotionally stirring challenge letter was as ridiculous as asking a support-type Soul Master to duel a strong assault-type Soul Master on the battlefield.
However, Yun Yi was also naturally lazy. She knew that if she had exposed Jin Peng's trickery yesterday, the task of writing the letter would fall to her. She wanted no part of that. Wasn't it more enjoyable to tease her beloved disciple with that free time?
Anyway, the ones losing face were the idiotic Sect Master and the dim-witted Vice Sect Master, not her.
This was how affectionate the Body Sect was.
"Forget it, Old Jin is unreliable. Then let this old man speak personally. I am here today for three things. First, when Shrek Academy established the Sea God Pavilion and defeated my Body Sect, forcing my sect into seclusion, they also restricted us from hunting 100,000-year Soul Beasts. This vendetta must be repaid!"
If the Body Sect hadn't been restricted by that past promise, Dugu Bo would have risked his life to get a red one for Miao Xin's ninth Soul Ring. But now, even his own 100,000-year Soul Ring was forcefully obtained by his eldest brother, who recklessly violated the promise.
Mu En sighed, "Old Poison Monster, these are matters from several generations ago. What do they have to do with us today? Moreover, it was your unrestrained hunting of 100,000-year Soul Beasts that angered the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest,
leading to a beast tide. That generation's Sea God Pavilion Master forced you to stop hunting 100,000-year Soul Beasts; it was merely a punishment."
Dugu Bo couldn't out-argue Mu En, but thankfully, he had brought the Mind-Sage Douluo.
Yun Yi said, "Hmph, it's only natural for descendants to avenge the grudges of their ancestors. Furthermore, what's wrong with us hunting 100,000-year Soul Beasts? At that time, many of our ancestors were in the process of advancing.
Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts to absorb Soul Rings is a matter of course. As long as they don't indiscriminately kill for Soul Bones, they don't violate the rules of Soul Masters. Not to mention anything else, you, Mu En, have hunted three 100,000-year Soul Beasts yourself, and Xuan Zi also killed a 100,000-year Bashe snake.
The number of hunts by just the two of you combined is more than half of our ancestors' total over several generations. With such conduct, what right does your Sea God Pavilion have to demand anything of others? Thirdly, during that beast tide, did my Body Sect not resist? The disaster we caused, we also tried our best to resolve ourselves.
Even now, why is it that only your officials are allowed to set fires, indiscriminately hunting 100,000-year Soul Beasts? Are you not afraid of causing another beast tide? Or do you believe that the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest will show favoritism, and only get angry if they see someone from our Body Sect hunting 100,000-year Soul Beasts?"
"This..." Mu En was speechless for a moment, because the most undeniable thing in this world was fact.
The Soul Masters of the Body Sect over several generations hunted seven 100,000-year Soul Beasts, while Shrek Academy, with just Mu En and Xuan Zi alone, killed four. And Mu En's predecessor as Sea God Pavilion Master also had 100,000-year Soul Rings.
All in all, the total number of 100,000-year Soul Beasts hunted by Shrek Academy would definitely not be less than that of the Body Sect.
It was one thing for others to say that the Body Sect indiscriminately killed 100,000-year Soul Beasts, but what right did Mu En, with his three 100,000-year Soul Rings, have to say anything?
Dugu Bo excitedly nodded, "Exactly, exactly, that's what this old man thinks!"
Yun Yi rolled her eyes at this idiotic Sect Master and continued, "Mu En, the second reason is that you once killed my Body Sect's Sect Master, Du Bisi. This can't be considered a matter of a previous generation, can it? It is only right for my sect to avenge our former Sect Master."
"My battle with Du Bisi was a fair duel, not a personal vendetta..." Mu En was about to refute, but he was immediately interrupted by Yun Yi.
"Therefore, today, my Sect Master's challenge is also a fair duel. Although Old Jin's challenge letter was written in a clumsy manner, at least you recognize the two characters 'CHALLENGE,' don't you? Today, it will just be my Sect Master and you, a one-on-one fight!"
Dugu Bo nodded again, "Exactly, exactly, that's what this old man thinks."
"But a challenge like this can be refused, can't it? If this old man refuses, will you forcefully initiate a war?" Mu En asked.
Yun Yi smiled slightly, "Yes, if you refuse, our Body Sect can only forcefully initiate a war, but the reason won't be the two mentioned above. It will be the third reason: Tuo'er, come out!"
"Yes, Elder!" Yuwen Tuo flew out from behind the crowd, spreading his flaming wings.
"Yuwen Tuo!" Seeing him, the Shrek Academy members were greatly surprised. He had actually joined the Body Sect.
"Tuo'er has joined my Body Sect. His affairs are the affairs of my sect. The world knows that your Shrek Academy is despicable and shameless for having wasted six of his years.
We, as his guardians now, are merely seeking justice for him, which is only right and proper. Even if we forcefully initiate a war against your Shrek Academy for this, the world will know that we stand on the side of justice!"
Dugu Bo nodded a third time, "Exactly, exactly, that's what this old man thinks."
The Mind-Sage Douluo Yun Yi lived up to her reputation. With a few words, she transformed this sudden assault on Shrek Academy into a justified and well-reasoned campaign.
Whether Mu En agreed to fight and was killed by Dugu Bo, or if he refused and Dugu Bo, with his Limit Douluo strength, forcibly killed the titled Douluos of the Sea God Pavilion, they would still be on the side of justice.
Shrek Academy had always stood tall as righteous and glorious in the world. This was perhaps the first time they were at a disadvantage in terms of moral standing.
There was no helping it. Regarding the matter of Yuwen Tuo, no matter how one argued, Shrek Academy had wronged him.
