Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 346 Arrival in Shrek City, Yun Ming's Doubts
At this time, during the discussion in the Federal Council.

The enormous soul-guided train, resembling a long, silver metallic dragon, finally entered Shrek City smoothly after experiencing a thrilling journey.

The train weaved through the majestic city walls and historically significant buildings. Through the train windows, Lu Jun and the others could clearly feel the city's imposing presence and the pervasive, rich spiritual energy fluctuations.

It is hailed as the number one city in the Douluo Continent, and this reputation is well-deserved.

After entering the city, the train did not slow down. Instead, it continued to speed along the dedicated elevated track for nearly an hour. The scenery outside the window gradually changed from the bustling commercial district to a cluster of buildings with a more academic and historical atmosphere. Finally, it slowed down and came to a smooth stop in a behemoth-like station.

When Lu Jun and his group followed Wu Changkong off the train and truly stepped into the interior of Shrek City Station, apart from Guan Yue and Wu Changkong whom they had already met, all the young students were involuntarily shocked by the scene before them.

The station was larger than they had ever imagined, several times more magnificent than any station they had ever seen, including the central station of Mingdu.

Looking up, one sees a massive dome hundreds of meters high, supported by countless huge stone pillars carved with ancient mythical beasts and heroic epics. Sunlight streams through the dome's specially designed stained-glass windows, forming sacred beams of light.

The overall architectural style is simple and solemn, and every brick and stone seems to bear the marks of time. The walls, columns and even the ground are covered with exquisite and lifelike stone carvings, telling the legend and glory of Shrek over the past ten thousand years.

A unique atmosphere permeates the air, a distinctive blend of historical heritage, powerful spirit, and academic ambiance, silently testifying to the extraordinary nature of this city.

"This is Shrek City."

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan looked around as if they had never seen the world before.

It must be said that it is indeed different from Mingdu.

Shrek City is indeed very large, being one of the two largest cities in the Federation.

No wonder the Federation was so desperate that they wanted to wipe out the city.

Shrek's greatness lies in the fact that even though they're trying to establish an independent kingdom, they keep stuffing their own people into the federal parliament.

The Federation had been lenient enough, even giving them one last chance, but Shrek Academy still went its own way, even openly intercepting the Soul Guidance Train.

Then Shrek City no longer needs to exist.

The Federal Speaker has reached his limit of patience. If it weren't for Yun Ming guarding the area, the Federal Speaker probably wouldn't have been able to endure it for so long.

Now, the Speaker of the Federal Parliament is willing to pay a heavy price to completely wipe this city off the continent.

"Alright, stop daydreaming and keep up." Wu Changkong's cool voice snapped everyone out of their shock.

He still maintained his icy demeanor, but deep in his eyes lay a complex emotion of returning to this place.

Guan Yue keenly sensed the almost taut nerves of Lu Jun and the others. He slowed his pace, walked alongside Lu Jun, and gently patted his shoulder, his gentle voice carrying a reassuring strength:
"Relax, kid. We're already in Shrek City. With everyone watching, even if those Shrek Academy people are arrogant, they won't dare to do anything to us openly at their own gate. We're safe for now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun forced a smile and nodded at Guan Yue, but his vigilance remained.

His intuition told him that the storm was not over, but perhaps had only just begun.

He maintained what he considered the necessary vigilance, his sharp gaze scanning the approaching crowd and the direction of the station exit.

This is their territory.

We must be extremely careful. Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, in the Sea God Pavilion...

Ancient trees reach for the sky, lush and green, their vibrant life force almost tangible.

On the observation deck at the highest point of Poseidon Pavilion, a figure stands alone, seemingly untouched by the world.

He was dressed in simple white clothes, spotless, which fluttered gently in the wind.

Yun Ming simply stood there quietly, as if he were the center of the entire world, with the primordial energy of heaven and earth naturally converging towards him.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through the distance of space, landing precisely in the direction of the Shrek City Soul Guidance Train Station.

With his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, he had already clearly sensed the arrival of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team and the several powerful or strange auras among them when the train entered the Shrek City area.

The sound of light footsteps came from behind, breaking the tranquility of the observation deck.

An elderly woman walked slowly towards us. Her figure was slightly hunched, but every step she took was as steady as a mountain. Her eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time and a trace of weariness and solemnity that she could not hide.

It's Long Yeyue, the Light and Dark Douluo; she's back.

She stopped a short distance behind Yun Ming, gazing at his tall, imposing figure that seemed to bear an invisible weight. She sighed deeply and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Yunming, I... couldn't save them."

Yun Ming's figure did not sway at all, as if he had expected it all along.

Long Yeyue continued, each word carrying immense weight:
"Tang Zhong, the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect, Ning Qingcheng, the Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Yu Yuanzu, the Patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... all died in battle. The enemy was too well prepared, with too many powerful figures secretly protecting that train."

Upon hearing this undeniably bad news, Yun Ming remained silent for a moment.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze because of his silence, and the rich life energy became stagnant.

He slowly turned around, and his handsome, jade-like face, which seemed untouched by time, was now shrouded in a deep gloom and confusion.

He looked at Long Yeyue, his brows furrowing slightly:
"Sister, this doesn't make sense. Tang Zhong is at the peak of demigod, Ning Qingcheng is blessed by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Yu Yuanzu is even at the quasi-god level. His Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex ultimate lightning attribute is naturally able to suppress all darkness and evil..."

"Even if such a combination doesn't win, there's absolutely no way they could all be easily captured, let alone escape. Unless..."

A sharp glint flashed in Yun Ming's eyes: "The Federation's top forces have intervened? Or even... the Federation Speaker himself?"

The mere mention of the words "Speaker of the Federal Parliament" caused even Yun Ming, the most powerful person in the world, to involuntarily reveal a deep sense of apprehension.

The man who sat at the pinnacle of federal power, his own strength, the forces he controlled, and the unfathomable family behind him made him feel an unprecedented sense of trouble and threat.

The Xu family is too much of a threat.

This family has been opposing Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect for ten thousand years.

If it weren't for the protection of a deity ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy would probably have been completely wiped out by the then-dominant Sun Moon Empire.
