At that time, Su Mo's first suspect was Tang San.
Because the soul beasts in the ocean are far superior to those on land, both in terms of quality and quantity.
Without Tang San, the Sea God, supporting them, it would have been a pipe dream for Xingluo and Douling, two companies with such poor soul guidance technology, to cross the perilous ocean and reach the new world.
Su Mo hadn't expected Dai Mubai to get involved as well.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, Dai Mubai was once a prince of the Star Luo Empire. How could he just stand by and watch the Star Luo Empire be destroyed?
Xu Xiu looked around and saw that only Su Mo was not shocked by the news, and she felt a little resentful.
This was a secret that the Xu and Dai families had kept hidden for tens of thousands of years, yet Su Mo didn't react at all.
But don't rush, he still has big things to reveal.
Xu Xiu paused, her back straightened, and her cloudy eyes seemed to reflect the tall figure of her ancestor.
"Back then, it was our ancestor Dai Mubai who personally sent down a divine decree, informing us, his descendants, that the future landscape of Douluo Continent was not yet set and would change once again in the future, which would be our opportunity to return to Douluo Continent."
"So let's hide overseas and bide our time, waiting for this opportunity to come."
At this point, Xu Xiu paused, took a deep breath, and spoke with a powerful, resounding voice, "And right now is most likely the golden opportunity that our ancestor Dai Mubai spoke of!"
"???"
Xu Xiu's speech left Su Mo and the others completely bewildered.
What does "mostly" mean?
Shouldn't this be 100% certain?
Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan, and Wu Siduo looked at Xu Xiu with suspicion in their eyes.
Stared at by several pairs of eyes at the same time, Xu Xiu blushed and felt embarrassed. He coughed twice and quickly explained.
"Although the ancestor Dai Mubai personally issued a divine decree, he did not specify the exact time."
"He only told us, his descendants, that when Shrek Academy falls into an unprecedented crisis, the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils will rewrite the fate of the entire Douluo Continent once again, just like their ancestors and the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago!"
"What we need to do is infiltrate the current generation of Shrek Seven Devils and use their power to bring the Star Luo Empire back to Douluo Continent."
As soon as Xu Xiu finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
Chapter 91 Xu Xiu's Guess!
After a long pause, Xu Xiaoyan weakly raised her hand, her voice filled with doubt and hesitation, "But Grandpa, is Shrek Academy facing an unprecedented crisis?"
Wu Siduo subconsciously nodded slightly in agreement, a hint of the same question flashing in her eyes.
Shrek doesn't seem to be facing an unprecedented crisis at all right now.
Faced with Xu Xiaoyan's questioning, Xu Xiu replied confidently, "Of course!"
Xu Xiu flicked her sleeves, her voice deepening, her gaze sharp as if it could pierce through one's heart.
"I think you've all heard about the Goddess of Light causing havoc at Shrek Academy!"
Su Mo and the other two nodded in agreement.
Thanks to the federal government's vigorous propaganda, everyone already knows about the incident where the Goddess of Light, Di Qiu'er, overthrew both the inner and outer academies of Shrek Academy.
But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Shrek being in an unprecedented crisis.
Seeing that Su Mo and the others were puzzled, Xu Xiu explained calmly, "Throughout Shrek Academy's history, when have they never swept away all their opponents and dominated the entire continent?"
"But this time, Shrek was brazenly broken into his home and beaten badly!"
Xu Xiu snorted coldly, her tone filled with unwavering certainty, "If this isn't an unprecedented crisis, then what is it?"
"..."
As soon as Xu Xiu said this, the air froze, and the entire room seemed to be filled with an awkward silence.
Su Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, her expression unchanged, but she couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart.
"Can this be considered an unprecedented crisis? Xu Xiu must be crazy to have his dream come true."
However, Su Mo did not expect that Di Qiu'er's impulsive challenge to Shrek Academy would inadvertently lure out the Xu and Dai families.
Of course, in some ways, Xu Xiu and his group were also quite outrageous.
Even though the starting point was wrong, things somehow turned out the way they should have.
Without their own interference, and with Tang Wulin, Tang San's own son, around, this generation of Shrek Seven Devils truly has the ability to change the entire landscape of Douluo Continent.
If the Xu and Dai families could get on Tang Wulin's good side, they might actually be able to launch a counterattack against the Sun Moon Federation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan completely lost her composure, put her hands on her hips, and retorted irritably, "No, Grandpa, your reason is too far-fetched!"
"Although Shrek's undefeated record was broken, it was a huge blow to their reputation."
"But it is still the strongest academy recognized throughout the entire continent, a sacred place for all soul masters to cultivate. How could there be any unprecedented crisis!"
Xu Xiaoyan simply couldn't understand how her usually wise grandfather could be so muddle-headed in such a matter, almost ruining Wu Siduo's life.
Wu Siduo nodded slightly to the side, her expression complicated, with a hint of helplessness and awkwardness in her eyes.
She never imagined that she would almost be betrothed to someone so casually because of such an uncertain speculation.
As complaints welled up in Wu Siduo's heart, another sudden thought quietly emerged in her mind.
"If I were to really marry Su Mo, it might not be such a bad idea."
"At least, he will respect my wishes."
The thought made Wu Siduo's heart tremble, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to secretly look at Su Mo.
Looking at Su Mo's tall and straight figure, a blush flashed across Wu Siduo's cool little face.
Su Mo stood there quietly, his eyes indifferent. Although he didn't say a single unnecessary word, he gave off an undeniable presence.
Wu Siduo's gaze lingered on Su Mo's face for a long time. Looking at that impeccably handsome face, an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.
Su Mo seemed to have noticed Wu Siduo's gaze, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Wu Siduo lower her head like a frightened rabbit.
Su Mo was fully aware of what Wu Siduo was thinking at that moment, and he even deliberately guided her to have such thoughts.
While he genuinely believed those words, they were also partly intended to win over Wu Siduo.
There was no way around it; having spent so much time with Orochimaru, he would subconsciously use the brainwashing techniques Orochimaru used whenever he had the chance.
Orochimaru's brainwashing skills are just as exceptional as his scientific research talent.
Aside from falling into a trap with the Uchiha clan, I haven't failed yet.
But this is completely understandable, after all, the Uchiha are all secretly psychopaths.
Brainwashing a mentally ill person is impossible.
"Ahem, Xiao Yan, you guys don't understand!"
Faced with Xu Xiaoyan's questioning, Xu Xiu coughed twice and explained earnestly, "If a force develops to the level of Shrek Academy, then its position is already unshakeable."
"The federal government has been trying to weaken Shrek's influence for a thousand years, but what has been the result?"
"Shrek remains the sacred training ground that is praised by all and dreamed of by countless students."
"Unless someone can directly use force to wipe Shrek out of the Federation, no matter how big the crisis is, Shrek will still be Shrek."
"But I don't need to elaborate on how difficult it would be to eliminate Shrek Academy by force, do I?"
"The successive leaders of Shrek Academy are recognized as the number one people on the continent. If we want to eliminate Shrek Academy by force, we can probably only use the legendary level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell 'Eternal Heaven'."
"Do you think it's more likely that Shrek Academy will be bombed by the Eternal Kingdom, or that my judgment is correct?"
Faced with Xu Xiu's reasoned analysis, not only Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo, but even Su Mo, who knew the inside story, fell silent.
If Su Mo hadn't known that the Holy Spirit Cult was actually plotting with the Spirit Pagoda and the Federal Government to use the Eternal Heaven to blow up Shrek Academy...
Perhaps he really had been fooled by Xu Xiu.
Seeing that Su Mo and the others remained silent, Xu Xiu pressed on while the iron was hot.
"So you need to understand that for Shrek Academy to be publicly humiliated and lose face is the biggest crisis they can face."
Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo didn't say anything, but both subconsciously looked at Su Mo.
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo were both looking at him, Su Mo smiled slightly and said calmly.
"So, when you betrothed Wu Siduo to me as your fiancée, it wasn't so you wanted us to become the Shrek Seven Devils, and then use the deep bond between the Shrek Seven Devils to get others to help the Star Luo Empire achieve its restoration plan?"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Su Mo had figured out her purpose, Xu Xiu admitted it without any attempt to hide it.
As everyone knows, no one on this continent has a deeper bond than the Shrek Seven Devils.
Although it's somewhat despicable, it's all for the sake of returning to the place where my ancestors lived for generations.
They had no other choice but to seize this last opportunity to restore the land their ancestors had conquered.
"Grandpa, this is despicable of you to think of making us use our own friends."
Xu Xiaoyan was the first to jump out and accuse.
Because she was well protected by her family, Xu Xiaoyan always believed that friendships should be pure and innocent, without any exchange of benefits.
If she really does follow her grandfather's arrangements to get into Shrek Academy and become one of the Shrek Seven Devils, it means she will become the kind of person she hates the most.
Chapter 92 Su Mo's Idea
"Sorry, Xiaoyan."
Xu Xiu took a deep breath, her voice low but filled with unwavering determination, "For the sake of the sacrifices made by our two families for generations, we... have no choice but to do this."
Images of the past flashed through Xu Xiu's eyes, and her tone was tinged with heaviness.
"Back then, the Dai family did this to prevent the Star Luo Empire's influence on the Douluo Continent from completely disappearing."
"They deliberately fabricated the story of the dancers, a branch family that the world mistakenly believed to have been born from a one-night stand between the Dai family ancestor and a dancer."
Su Mo nodded in agreement.
If the Star Luo Empire wants to return to the Douluo Continent, it must maintain its influence there.
