Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 226 Confrontation
"Because... this is a conflict within the martial arts world. The academy is not a country, and the academy cannot interfere arbitrarily!"

Seeing that Fan Yu was silent, Zhou Yi took the initiative to explain to Tang Ya.

"Then why did the academy suddenly want to take back the Tang Sect headquarters from the Iron Blood Sect?" Tang Ya asked with a cold smile after hearing Zhou Yi's answer.

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Yi was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer.

Zhou Yi and Fan Yu did not answer, but Tang Ya answered her own question: "Of course it's because Mu En saw that I rebuilt the Tang Sect in the Sun Moon Empire, and he panicked, and your Shrek Academy panicked too! So, you rushed to drive away the Iron Blood Sect and take back this compound, thinking that you could use this compound as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me, right?"

Fan Yu's expression changed, and she said, "The academy would never have such a despicable idea!"

"Whether it exists or not, I don't care."

Tang Ya shook her head, dismissing Fan Yu's explanation with disdain. She said, "Get out of the way, this is my house, I'm taking it back!"

Fan Yu shook his head again and said, "I've already made myself very clear! Sect Leader Tang, as long as the Tang Sect moves back to Tian Dou City, not only will we give up this Tang Sect compound, but Shrek Academy will also support the Tang Sect in opening branches in other places, even in Shrek City!"

"I do not need."

Tang Ya rejected Fan Yu's offer, saying, "The development of the Tang Sect is none of Shrek Academy's business."

"In that case, we cannot hand this place over to you!"

Zhou Yi stepped forward, releasing her martial soul and spirit rings. The perfectly matched spirit rings rose from her feet, confronting Tang Ya head-on. The two were on the verge of a fight, seemingly ready to clash at any moment.

Without saying a word, Tang Ya directly threw a blue-silver vine at Zhou Yi. A dragon's roar also came from Zhou Yi's body, and red light bloomed in front of her to block the blue-silver vine.

When the blue-silver vines collided with the red light, Zhou Yi took several steps back, her face turned pale, and she looked astonished.

"You...your martial spirit...how could this be..."

"Yi'er!"

Fan Yu quickly helped Zhou Yi up, then glared angrily at Tang Ya. Eight spirit rings rose from beneath his feet as he roared, "Sect Leader Tang! Don't you have any mercy at all?"

"It was Shrek Academy that forgot about the past first!" Tang Ya's expression was cold and stern, without any emotional fluctuation.

Fan Yu took a few deep breaths and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good! Very good! It seems you're determined to go down this dark path! I have no choice but to capture you first and let Elder Xuan decide!"

Seeing this, Tang Ya quickly took a step back. Behind her, Elder Chen slowly stepped forward and raised his hand to unfold his Martial Soul Starry Sky Mystery Disc.

Nine spirit rings—three yellow, three purple, and three black—rose from beneath his feet, and a sense of oppression pressed down on Fan Yu and Zhou Yi.

"A Title Douluo!?"

The two men's pupils contracted as they stared in astonishment at Elder Chen beside Tang Ya. They hadn't expected Tang Ya to bring a Title Douluo with her!
The Tang Sect has only been rebuilt for a short time, and it already has a Title Douluo?
Why does the Sun Moon Empire provide such significant support to the Tang Sect?
Upon seeing a Title Douluo appear, the surrounding people were terrified and quickly moved away from the area. The battles of Title Douluos are epic, they don't want to get involved!

But just then, a shout came from the sky: "Insolence!!"

Hearing the resounding sound, everyone looked up and saw Yan Shaozhe and a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes descend from the sky and block Tang Ya and the ninth-level soul master.

The middle-aged man stared coldly at Tang Ya and Elder Chen, questioning, "A titled Douluo of the Sun and Moon Realm dares to act so presumptuously in the capital of our Heavenly Soul Empire? What audacity!" Elder Chen frowned slightly, sizing up the middle-aged man before him. Judging from the fluctuations in his soul power, this middle-aged man's cultivation was at least at the level of a level 95 Super Douluo!

"Who are you?" Old Chen asked in return.

The middle-aged man, with his hands behind his back and chest puffed out, declared, "I am Xue Yu, a prince of the Heavenly Soul Empire!"

After Tang Ya arrived, some quick-thinking nobles ran to the palace to inform the emperor. Yan Shaozhe happened to be there at the time, so he and Prince Xueyu came together.

Tang Ya stepped forward, looked at him and said, "Prince Xueyu, this is a private matter between our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. It shouldn't have anything to do with the Heavenly Soul Empire, right?"

Xueyu laughed and said to Tang Ya, "Of course it's relevant! This is Tiandou City!"

Yan Shaozhe also came up and said to Tang Ya, "Tang Ya, the academy has treated you well. Why did you have to bring a titled Douluo from the Sun Moon Empire to provoke us? If you want this academy, the academy is not refusing to give it back to you!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya seemed to have heard something ridiculous. She burst into laughter, laughing until tears welled up in her eyes. Her expression was one of undisguised mockery and disdain.

"Shrek! Is this how Shrek Academy, with its millennia-long heritage, treats my Tang Sect so well?"

Among the crowd, Jiang Shengyu couldn't help but sigh. Letting Yan Shaozhe do this kind of persuasion work, wasn't that a clear indication that he didn't want to have a proper talk?

With that mouth of his, he can turn a stranger into an enemy.

Tang Ya wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Old Chen to the side, and said, "Old Chen, let's get ready to make our move."

Old Chen nodded. He took out two level-nine soul tools, one of which quickly flew into the sky, forming a starry sky canopy that enveloped the land.

Another level-nine soul tool also quickly rose into the air, slowly emitting a golden light under the starry sky. After the light spread, everyone within range felt their bodies become heavier.

Even Yan Shaozhe and Xue Yu felt a sense of heaviness.

This is the Earth Mantra, a level nine soul tool crafted by Elder Chen himself. It can be used in conjunction with his martial soul, the Starry Sky Mystery Disc, to greatly enhance his ability to control the battlefield, allowing him to hold his own against ordinary Super Douluo with his level ninety-one cultivation.

With his offensive capabilities, he was virtually invincible, able to advance and retreat at will! Therefore, he not only brought the Earth Mantra, but also borrowed a Starry Sky Mirror from Elder Hong.

"Starry Sky Mirror? Why did Elder Chen bring Elder Hong's Starry Sky Mirror with him...?"

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong looked up at the sky, somewhat surprised.

It seems that Tang Ya has made ample preparations for this operation.

Xueyu angrily said, "Does the Sun Moon Empire want to start a war with our Heavenly Soul Empire?"

"I am an elder of the Tang Clan. Today's matter is merely an internal affair of the Tang Clan! I hope Prince Xueyu will not escalate everything to the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries! Otherwise, if it really causes a war, the Heavenly Soul Empire may not be able to bear the consequences!"

Old Chen, however, was not swayed by Xueyu's words and retorted with a sarcastic remark.

Xueyu's expression turned ugly.
