Chapter 465 Make a Choice, Kong Deming
Almost simultaneously, outside the academy, the increasingly loud roar and metallic scraping sounds abruptly ceased.

Instead, there was an eerie silence, occasionally punctuated by the crackling sounds of ice crystals forming and the muffled thuds of heavy objects falling to the ground after being frozen.

The entire capital city seemed to be silenced in that instant. The previously menacing and murderous aura, which seemed poised to crush everything, vanished without a trace.

The people in the square looked at each other in bewilderment, especially the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, whose faces were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Not long after, the Snow Emperor reappeared on the high platform, still with that aloof and indifferent demeanor, as if she had just gone out for a walk.

"Snow Emperor, what's happening outside..."

Lin You asked curiously. He knew that the collective attack of the Soul Master Corps was quite powerful, and when combined with those powerful linked Soul Tools, it could even pose a threat to Limit Douluo.

When the experts from the Body Sect tried to stop the army outside the city, they seemed to have suffered some losses. How come the Snow Empress resolved the situation so quickly?
The Snow Empress said calmly, "Mingdu is the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, filled with the mansions of royal relatives and high-ranking officials. Those Soul Master Corps dare not bring their truly powerful linked Soul Guidance Devices into the city, for fear of accidentally injuring those important figures. Without those devices, they are just a bunch of iron lumps; we can simply freeze them."

The cultivation level of a 690,000-year-old soul beast is terrifying!
Silent all night.

This upheaval that swept through Mingdu and even shook the entire Sun Moon Empire gradually subsided with the strong intervention of Shrek Academy.

All the scattered resistance forces within the Ming capital were also quickly suppressed.

With Moon in charge, large-scale destruction and massacres were rare, and everything passed in an eerie calm amidst turbulent undercurrents.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced the clouds and shone upon the ravaged capital, a large procession marched into Mingdu from outside the city.

The leader was none other than He Caitou, also known as Xu He, the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

He rode a magnificent spirit beast mount, and his originally simple Shrek Academy uniform had been replaced with a dark gold python robe embroidered with intricate cloud and dragon patterns, which made his dark skin exude a noble air of authority.

Behind him followed a large number of attendants and guards dressed in uniform armor, clearly the elite of the Sky Rift Soul Master Corps.

The procession proceeded smoothly all the way to the plaza of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Just as Xu He dismounted and was about to step onto the high platform, a faint sigh suddenly came from the sky.

Moon raised his head, looked up at a certain point in the sky, and smiled gently, "Mr. Kong Deming, since you're here, why not show yourself?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure slowly descended from the clouds.

The newcomer wore a simple gray robe, had a thin face and a complex look in his eyes. He was none other than Kong Deming, the chief retainer of the Sun Moon Empire and a level nine soul master.

He hovered over Mingdu all night, his heart filled with struggle and pain.

He wanted to rescue Xu Tianran from Shrek Academy, but he also knew that with Mu En and Xue Di joining forces, he had no chance at all. When he saw Xu He, dressed in a python robe and exuding an air of authority, appear, the last bit of confusion and bewilderment in his heart finally dissipated.

So that's how it is! Shrek Academy's earth-shattering move was actually to support Xu He, the former crown prince whom they once thought had been slaughtered!

Moon smiled and gestured, "Mr. Kong, please come down for a chat."

Kong Deming glanced at the Snow Emperor on the high platform, whose expression was cold and aloof. A deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes. In the end, he still obeyed and slowly flew down to the high platform.

His appearance immediately caused quite a stir among the faculty and students of the academy. Jing Hongchen quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Teacher."

Ye Yulin also lowered his head slightly, his expression respectful.

Kong Deming is not only the chief priest of the Sun Moon Empire, but also the recognized number one soul master of the Sun Moon Empire, holding a pivotal position in the hearts of all soul masters.

Kong Deming ignored them, looked directly at Mu En, and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Mu En, does Shrek Academy intend to make my Sun Moon Empire a puppet of Shrek Academy?"

Mu En shook his head and calmly replied, "Mr. Kong, you are overthinking it. His Highness Xu He once studied at my Shrek Academy, and that experience will not affect his judgment as the future monarch of the Sun Moon Empire. The primary goal of Shrek Academy's actions this time is to completely eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, which is colluding with the Sun Moon Royal Family. I believe Mr. Kong will not deny this."

He abruptly changed the subject, his gaze sharpening: "But Mr. Kong, the Sun Moon Empire's collusion with the Evil Soul Masters is so deep, even allowing them to infiltrate the core of the Imperial Palace. As the Chief Elder, are you completely unaware of this? Or is it something you tacitly approved?"

Kong Deming's expression froze, then he gritted his teeth, a trace of grief and helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Lord Mu En! My Sun Moon Empire has always been inferior to the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent in terms of top-tier Soul Master combat power. If we don't seek some unconventional assistance, how can we stand firm on a continent surrounded by powerful enemies? Isn't everything that my Sun Moon Empire is experiencing today the tragic future we have always feared? If it weren't for this, why would we have let wolves into our house!"

Upon hearing this, the already grim expressions of the Three Kingdoms Douluos in the corner of the square changed drastically.

Tianyang Douluo and the others cursed inwardly. Mu En's actions last night, "protecting all teachers and students," had completely disrupted their plan to weaken the Sun Moon Empire's fighting force.

Although the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire suffered heavy losses, its core members and young geniuses were preserved. Now it seems that Moon even intends to support this former crown prince, who has close ties to Shrek Academy, to ascend the throne!
The Sun Moon Empire, which is secretly colluding with Shrek Academy, will not only not be weakened, but may become even more difficult to control with Shrek's help!
This was completely contrary to the expectations of their respective monarchs!

Several Three Kingdoms Douluo exchanged glances, and the thought of retreating arose in their hearts.

Tianyang Douluo coughed, stepped forward, and cupped his hands to Mu En, saying, "Lord Mu En, now that the matter of Mingdu is settled, we have come to assist on the orders of the King, and our mission is now complete. We still have important matters to attend to in the country, so we will take our leave now."

The other Douluo also chimed in, finding various excuses to leave this place of trouble.

Mu En smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated their reaction, and nodded, saying, "You have all come from afar, and you must be tired. Since you each have matters to attend to in your own countries, I cannot insist that you stay. Please do as you wish."

Having received Mu En's approval, the Three Kingdoms Douluos felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They didn't dare to linger for a moment, and they all took to the air, leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in a sorry state with their respective followers.

Once those figures had completely disappeared into the horizon, Mu En slowly turned around, his gaze returning to Kong Deming, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable weight:
"Well? Mr. Kong Deming, His Highness Xu He is the eldest son of the late emperor, of legitimate blood. Now he has restored order and returned to his homeland. If you still acknowledge this true member of the royal family, then give your answer."
