Inside the pub, the dim light flickered, casting a hazy and slightly nostalgic atmosphere on the wooden tables and chairs and mottled walls. The candlelight in the corner flickered, as if it was also listening to the sad and happy stories of the people who had reunited.

Carrying a huge ruler, Xiao Yan slowly stepped into the tavern. His black robe rustled, and his eyes were deep and calm, with a hint of composure after going through hardships. Wang Qiu'er stood quietly beside him. Her beautiful face still exuded a unique charm in the dim light. Her eyes were alert, and she looked at Bei Bei from time to time.

“Brother Bei, I know this news is like a bolt from the blue for you, but Xuanzi has indeed become an evil soul master, and Shrek Academy is now in a huge crisis.” Xiao Yan looked at Bei Bei’s shocked expression, sighed slightly, and said solemnly.

Beibei's face was full of struggle, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed complex emotions, both the pain of Xuan Lao's betrayal and the deep attachment to Shrek Academy. He held Tang Ya's hand tightly, as if drawing strength from her. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty:

"Brother Xiao Yan, Shrek Academy is like a home to me. How can I give it up so easily? Although Elder Xuan's matter shocked me, I still want to go back and investigate it clearly. I can't make a decision based on your one-sided words alone."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He understood Bei Bei's hesitation. After all, that was the place where he grew up and protected for many years.

"Brother Bei, I understand how you feel. But you have to know that Shrek Academy is now shrouded in the shadow of darkness. Xuan Zi is secretly controlling it, and it is full of dangers. Even your great-great-grandfather Mu Lao died at his hands. When Mu Lao fought with me that day, I only seriously injured him, not killed him. And after he was rescued by Xuan Zi, he died inexplicably not long after." Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at Bei Bei firmly, and said.

Hearing this, Bei Bei's body suddenly stiffened. He slowly turned his head, his eyes widened, and looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. His voice became a little hoarse: "What did you say? Xuanzu Mu Lao... was killed by Xuanzi? How is this possible?"

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, veins popped out on his forehead, and his entire facial muscles were trembling slightly.

In Beibei's heart, Xuanzu Mu Lao has always been a god-like existence. His wisdom, his strength, and his dedication to Shrek Academy are all guides and examples for Beibei's growth. He could never imagine that such a great ancestor would be killed in such a vicious way, and the murderer was Xuanzi, whom he had always respected.

"Xiao Yan, do you have any solid evidence? This kind of thing can't be made up without any evidence!" There was a glimmer of hope in Bei Bei's eyes. He hoped that this was just a misunderstanding, a terrible rumor.

"Brother Bei, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I have been tracking down clues of the Holy Spirit Church for a long time, and all signs point to Xuanzi. Otherwise, do you think that with Xuanzi's brain, his strength can improve his strength to the Peerless Douluo realm in such a short time?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly and explained in a deep voice.

Bei Bei seemed to have lost all his strength. He staggered back a few steps and sat down on a chair. His eyes were empty and confused, as if his soul had left his body. He muttered to himself, "No, no, Xuan Zu is so powerful, how could Xuan Zi have done this? There must be some misunderstanding..."

He held his head with both hands and pulled his hair in pain. The kind face of Xuanzu Mu Lao and the majestic image of Xuanzi in the past kept appearing in his mind. The two were now connected in such a cruel way that he almost collapsed.

Tang Ya walked to Beibei with a distressed look on her face, gently hugged his shoulders, her eyes full of worry and sadness. She didn't know how to comfort Beibei, because the news was too heavy for him, like the sky falling.

The atmosphere in the pub became extremely depressing, as if even the air had frozen. The drinkers around seemed to have sensed the heavy atmosphere, and cast curious and sympathetic glances at him, but quickly looked away, not daring to disturb him too much.

After a long time, Bei Bei slowly raised her head, with a look of determination in her eyes: "Xiao Yan, I want to go back to Shrek Academy, I want to find out the truth about this matter myself. If Xuan Zi really did something so outrageous, I will never let him go!"

Although his voice was still a little hoarse, it was full of firm strength. It was a persistent pursuit of the truth, as well as loyalty and respect for his great-grandfather Mu Lao.

Seeing Bei Bei's determined expression, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He knew that no matter how much he tried to dissuade her, it would be useless because he saw the unshakable determination in Bei Bei's eyes. He whispered, "Brother Bei, I understand your feelings, but you must be careful when you go there. Xuan Zi is now very powerful in Shrek Academy and has a deep mind. Once he realizes your intentions, I'm afraid he will do you harm."

"Xiao Yan, thank you for your reminder. I will act cautiously. Shrek Academy and my friends are still here, and I can't just stand there and watch them." Bei Bei stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

After saying that, he turned to look at Tang Ya, with a hint of tenderness and guilt in his eyes, and said: "Xiao Ya, you should stay with Brother Xiao Yan for the time being."

However, Tang Ya shook her head firmly and refused, "Beibei, I want to go with you. We said we would never separate again, and I can't let you face danger alone." Her eyes were filled with stubbornness and affection, and she held Beibei's hand tightly.

Beibei felt warm in his heart, but he was a little hesitant. He didn't want to put Tang Ya in danger, but he also knew that once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change her character.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly stepped forward. He looked at Bei Bei with a firm gaze and said, "Brother Bei, let me go to Shrek Academy with you. Not only will I help you find out the truth, but I also want to try to contact Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Wang Yan and others. If possible, I also want to persuade them to join the Yan League."

Bei Bei was slightly stunned, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After all, this meant completely breaking off from Shrek Academy, which was an extremely difficult decision for him. But he knew very well that what Xiao Yan said might be true. Xuan Zi's betrayal made the academy no longer the pure land it once was.

“Xiao Yan, I understand what you mean, but I’m not sure whether they are willing to leave. Shrek Academy holds a very important position in our hearts, and it is not something that can be easily given up.” Bei Bei said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Brother Bei. But the current situation is critical, I must give it a try. One more strength means one more protection in this chaotic world."

Tang Ya said softly, "Beibei, Xiao Yan is right. We can't just watch our friends fall into danger and do nothing. Perhaps leaving Shrek Academy and joining the Flame Alliance is a better choice for everyone."

Beibei took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "Okay, then let's set off as soon as possible."

After a while, the two of them rushed towards Shrek Academy together. Along the way, the atmosphere was solemn, and Beibei felt uneasy. He didn't know how to face his former partners, and he didn't know how they would react to leaving the academy. …………

At the same time, the world of gods.

The first thing that caught my eye was a dreamlike sky. It was not the blue sky and white clouds common in Douluo Continent, but a woven band of extremely gorgeous energy light. The golden light was like a veil of glory cast by a god, spreading wantonly, entwining and colliding with the deep purple light, and occasionally bursting out with dazzling light, just like stars exploding on the sky. These lights were not static, they were like surging tides, surging and forming huge energy vortices, as if to absorb everything in the world.

The land of the divine world is a vast and strange area.

The mountains, rivers and hills were not made of ordinary soil and rocks, but were formed by the pure power of divinity. The towering peaks, like giants, pierced the sky, and the mountains were shining with colorful light, appearing incomparably gorgeous.

In the solemn and dignified hall of the Divine Realm Committee, Tang San, dressed in a gorgeous blue-gold robe, sat on the huge throne. His eyes were deep and focused as he looked at the many divine texts floating in front of him.

These volumes exuded a faint halo, recording the affairs of all sizes in the God Realm, from the orbits of the stars to the mediation of disputes between gods, everything was included. Beside him, the Seagod Trident stood at an angle, the light of the trident echoing with Tang San's own divine power, causing waves from time to time.

At this moment, the sky outside suddenly darkened, and a strong and violent aura swept in like a turbulent tsunami. Tang San's mind moved, and his consciousness instantly spread, locking onto the person who came. The tall and majestic figure of the God of Destruction appeared in the sky, and his whole body was shrouded in a strong purple-black light.

"Tang San, get out of here!"

The God of Destruction's eyes flickered with purple light, like burning purple flames, and the destructive intent contained in them seemed to tear the entire sky apart. His long hair danced wildly behind him, and each strand of hair was like a smart purple snake, breathing out a dangerous breath.

"God of Destruction, what are you doing? Don't you know that it is strictly forbidden to use divine power near the God Realm Committee?" Tang San rebuked rudely.

The cold voice of the God of Destruction sounded from the purple-black cloud, questioning: "Tang San, do you know that after becoming a god, you cannot interfere with the lower world at will? But you broke the law knowingly and secretly mobilized your divine power to help Shrek Academy on Douluo Star not long ago."

Hearing this, Tang San frowned slightly, his eyes remained firm, he slowly stood up from the throne, and walked out of the hall step by step. As he moved, the blue-gold robe on his body fluttered gently in the wind, emitting a gentle but not to be underestimated divine power fluctuation.

“Destruction, please don’t slander me. Although I care about Shrek Academy, what I did did not violate the fundamental laws of the God Realm.” Tang San’s voice was calm and steady, but with an unquestionable majesty, echoing above the God Realm Committee.

Seeing this, the God of Destruction snorted coldly, and the purple-black light became increasingly intense. He waved his hands violently, and the purple-black clouds in the sky instantly rolled and surged, turning into countless sharp thorns of destruction, whizzing towards Tang San's direction.

"Tang San, don't try to quibble! You mobilized divine power without permission, which is a violation of the rules. Today, you must hand over the God Realm Center and accept the punishment you deserve!"

"Hmph, just you?" Tang San's eyes flashed, he stepped lightly, and the whole person instantly rose into the air like a blue lightning. He stretched out his right hand, gently grasped the Poseidon Trident beside him, and poured divine power into it. The trident instantly shone brightly, and the golden light was like a scorching sun, resisting and dissolving those destructive thorns one after another.

“God of Destruction, you act so impulsively, aren’t you afraid of provoking civil strife in the God Realm? Shrek Academy is of great significance to Douluo Continent. I only provided appropriate guidance when necessary and did not directly interfere with the fate of the lower world.”

Just when Tang San and the God of Destruction were about to start a battle, a soft golden light streaked across the sky, followed by a emerald green light full of vitality and a pure white holy light.

The three gods, the Goddess of Life, the God of Goodness and the God of Evil, came together.

The goddess of life was graceful, wearing a long emerald green dress that fluttered in the wind. Her eyes were full of worry and persuasion. She said, "Wait a minute, both of you. Don't act impulsively."

Her voice was gentle but contained a divine power that should not be underestimated, which slightly calmed the violent energy flow around them.

"Sea God, God of Destruction, peace in the God Realm is hard-won. We must not start a war because of momentary impulse. We should resolve this matter peacefully." The God of Kindness had a kind face, and the white light emanating from his body was like warm sunshine, sprinkling on every corner. His eyes moved back and forth between Tang San and the God of Destruction, and he spoke slowly.

The God of Evil frowned slightly. Although there was a hint of unruliness and evil in his aura, he was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter at this moment. He said, "Sea God, it is indeed inappropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of the lower world without permission. But God of Destruction, it is not appropriate for you to come here so rashly to call for punishment and mobilize divine power near the God Realm Committee."

Tang San heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three God Kings coming. He was well aware of their influence in the God Realm, and explained in a deep voice: "Three God Kings, I, Tang San, have done things with a clear conscience. Although I have used my divine power, I have never violated the rules of the God Realm. Shrek Academy is related to the future direction of Douluo Continent. I am just lending a helping hand and have no intention of interfering with fate."

The God of Destruction was still furious, but in front of the three great God Kings, he had to temporarily suppress his anger and said, "Tang San, don't try to flatter me. Everyone has seen what you did. You privately mobilized divine power to interfere with the lower realms. You must give an explanation to the God Realm today, otherwise I will never give up."
