Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Chapter 82 Devil Island Destroyed

Meanwhile, at the North Navy's base, the atmosphere remained the same as it had been a few days ago, like a taut string.

Even though it was late at night, there was no sign of relaxation within the Northern Navy Corps.

None of the soldiers chose to rest. Instead, they all took their soul-guided guns and stood ready at their posts, their eyes alert, constantly on guard against any "surprise attacks" from the inner disciples of Shrek Academy.

They knew all too well the Shrek disciples' methods. Every year around this time, those annoying brats would always take advantage of the night to "borrow" the soul-guided aircraft. This not only caused considerable trouble for the North Navy Legion's logistics and equipment, but also made them a laughing stock of the Federation military.

This has made them unable to hold their heads high in front of other legions, and the entire Northern Navy Legion is burning with anger, wanting to catch those thieves themselves.

Even Shen Yue, the corps commander of the North Sea Army Corps, has not dared to slack off for a moment these past few days. In order not to delay the battle opportunity, she has been working in the decision-making room of the North Sea Air Division. The room is filled with various advanced soul guidance screens and detectors. The flashing lights and jumping data reflect the dynamics and situation of the surrounding area at all times.

But at this moment, Shen Yue was sitting at her large desk, looking at the report from her subordinates that said "everything is normal". However, she did not show any happiness on her face. Instead, her brows were furrowed and her eyes kept scanning the map and screen on the wall.

She had some doubts. In previous years, Shrek Academy would have already taken action by this time, but this year it was unusually quiet, which made her feel uneasy.

Just as Shen Yue was lost in thought, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.

The door to the decision-making room was flung open, and a young officer rushed in, panting heavily. His face was filled with anxiety as he shouted, "General, a strong spatial fluctuation has suddenly appeared in the Devil's Island area. According to the soul-guided spatial detectors from the technical department, a spatial storm may be imminent!"

Shen Yue abruptly stood up, a look of shock flashing in her eyes: "What?"

He then quickly walked to the Soul Guidance Screen, where he saw that in the Devil Island area, black spatial rifts were like ferocious giant mouths, constantly spreading and expanding in the Devil Island area.

Seeing the glaring red warning light on the instrument, Shen Yue was also greatly alarmed.

As a Federation general, she was well aware of the horrors of spatial rifts.

Their appearance is completely unpredictable, and once they erupt, the powerful spatial turbulence can instantly tear all matter to shreds.

Without hesitation, she immediately ordered: "Notify the entire army and surrounding cities to tighten their defenses. No one is allowed to approach the Devil's Island area. Be prepared to evacuate at any time."

The order was quickly relayed, and the soldiers of the Northern Navy Corps began to act in an orderly manner.

Residents of surrounding cities were also evacuated under the organization of the army. For a time, the entire Beihai region was in a state of tense defense, and everyone was praying that the space storm would not spread to their area.

Soon, a week passed slowly amidst tension and torment.

Fortunately for the people of the North Sea, the spatial rifts and spatial storms only covered the Devil's Islands and did not spread to the surrounding cities or the defense range of the North Sea Legion. The people of the North Sea region escaped a huge disaster.

According to reconnaissance reports from several soul-guided reconnaissance aircraft dispatched by the Northern Navy Corps, the entire Devil's Islands region had been completely transformed.

The Devil's Islands, infamous throughout the North Sea, have now mostly been destroyed in a space storm.

The mysterious and dangerous Devil's Islands, which the Northern Navy had once guarded against with great care, are now practically defunct due to an unexpected disaster.

But compared to other things, Shen Yue, the commander of the Northern Navy Corps, felt mostly relieved at this moment.

On the one hand, she was relieved that the disaster had not caused damage to the military and civilians in the North Sea region; on the other hand, she was relieved that the Devil's Islands had disappeared, which was undoubtedly good news for the entire North Sea naval corps.

This means that they can now concentrate their forces, which were originally scattered in the Devil's Island area, in other defense zones to strengthen their overall defense capabilities.

Moreover, there's no longer any need to worry about Shrek Academy students stealing planes, greatly reducing the defensive pressure on the Northern Navy Legion.

The spatial storm that swept across Devil's Islands finally subsided. At this moment, Shen Yue stood by the window of the decision-making room, looking at the report in her hand, and felt a little emotional: "Did our North Sea Army's contest with Shrek Academy really end so hastily? Truly, life is unpredictable."

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy also received news that Devil Island had been destroyed by the spatial storm. Wei Heng, who had already returned to Shrek Academy, could only sigh after hearing this: "They really acted quickly."

But this matter has nothing to do with me anymore.

Because he had already returned to Shrek Academy several days before the spatial rift appeared, it was impossible for him to have done it in terms of timing.

However, in the following days, Wei Heng witnessed firsthand just how bad the reputation of the Seven Demons was at Shrek Academy.

The outer court didn't react much, but the inner court was in an uproar, especially the inner court disciples who had trained on Devil Island. They gathered in twos and threes, discussing quietly but excitedly.

"Have you heard? Devil Island is gone, and the Seven Old Demons are completely finished!" A burly disciple said with a look of satisfaction. Back then, he was almost driven to the brink of collapse by those old devils. Now, upon hearing such "bad news," his eyes were full of relief.

"Yes, it feels so good to think about it! Back then, I was there, and they almost forced me to give up my cultivation."

"That means we won't have to suffer in that awful place anymore." Upon hearing this, a female disciple breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloom in her eyes seemed to dissipate.

Upon hearing the news, the disciples were overjoyed. Their experience on Devil's Island had caused them to wake up from nightmares every night, but now that nightmare was finally over.

If it weren't for school rules, some of them would have even planned to go outside the city to celebrate.

Wei Heng stood aside. In the past few days, he had witnessed this scene more than once, watching the tense training atmosphere in the training ground of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard gradually being replaced by an irrepressible excitement.

He had wondered more than once whether Shrek Academy would be angry or regretful, but he never expected it to be like this. At this moment, looking at the joyful emotions that had been almost impossible to suppress in the inner courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He never thought that the Seven Old Demons were so detestable in the hearts of these inner courtyard disciples.

What surprised Wei Heng most was that this matter did not seem to have attracted the attention of the Shrek Academy's higher-ups. First of all, his nominal master, Yun Ming, was not in the mood to pay attention to this matter at all, because a major event had recently occurred in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy—the "Dragon Spear Goddess," who was famous throughout the inner courtyard.

Na'er has gone missing!

She disappeared from Shrek City without warning. Although Wei Heng guessed what had happened, Yun Ming and Ya Li, who had always doted on her like their own daughter, were completely panicked when they found out.

At this moment, they were busy using their various connections to gather information about Na'er, and had no time to pay attention to such a "trivial matter" as Devil's Island.

Therefore, the handling of this matter has now been handed over to several other elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

However, their handling of the situation was beyond Wei Heng's expectations. They simply sent a few elders to investigate as usual, and did nothing else.

At this moment, in the council hall of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, a group of elders sat together in a slightly somber atmosphere. They looked at the report on the destruction of Devil Island, but their expressions were very calm. There was no sadness in the air; on the contrary, the atmosphere was similar to that of the disciples.

"This matter, though somewhat sudden, is not a major issue," an elder said slowly, his voice steady.

"Yes, Devil's Island was just a testing ground. If it's gone, it's gone. We can just find a suitable place." Another elder nodded in agreement, without a trace of regret in his eyes.

"It's a good thing that the Seven Demon Kings are gone. Back when we were training on Devil Island, we suffered a lot at their hands." An elder frowned, a painful memory flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, their methods are too ruthless. Many disciples have been tortured to the point of exhaustion, both physically and mentally," another elder chimed in, his tone tinged with resentment.

"What a pity about their secrets; they might hold the key to breaking through to a higher realm," an elder sighed, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"However, without the Seven Demon Kings, the disciples in the academy will suffer less," another elder comforted them.

"Alright, let's move on to the next topic."

It was as if, to them, the destruction of Devil Island was no big deal; it was just a matter of finding another trial ground.

As for the seven old demons inside, to be honest, even the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion didn't have a good impression of them. When they were young, they had all gone to Devil Island to train and were severely tortured in body and mind. The memories of that place were unforgettable for the elders, and many of them even had murderous thoughts.

In fact, if it weren't for the ancestral precepts from two thousand years ago, and the fact that they couldn't defeat the Seven Old Demons, they wouldn't want to go through this process.

However, although they didn't have a good impression of the Seven Old Demons, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

After all, the secret to the Seven Demon Kings' long existence has always been something Shrek Academy has been trying to uncover, and now that they have disappeared, this secret has been buried forever.
