Chapter 145: Falling apart, Ning Rongrong quits Shrek, Shrek joins Eastern Divine Religion
"Why am I crazy? Everything I, Yu Xiaogang, do is for your own good!"

Yu Xiaogang felt that it was in his own interest to join the Eastern Divine Religion. He now had 0 soul power, and his relationship with Flender and the others had already been strained, so his future was worrying. He might as well use them to find a place for himself to retire while Shrek Academy was still there, and save Tang San at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Flanders and the others, they just lost their personal freedom! What does it have to do with Yu Xiaogang?

Flanders couldn't believe his ears. He didn't know whether he had matured or Yu Xiaogang had changed. "You still say you're not crazy! I think what Xiao San said was right. You are indeed mentally ill. Don't you think about it? We are all adults. We joined the Eastern Divine Religion halfway through. We have no loyalty at all. Can the Eastern Divine Religion trust us? They are mainly a family inheritance. Although they are now recruiting believers, they are all outer disciples. None of them can be taken seriously."

"They are very xenophobic, and they themselves have no shortage of strong people and geniuses. Why should they spend their energy to train and trust outsiders like us? Just like your Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, how many foreign spirit masters have you recruited?"

"Even if the Eastern Divine Cult really recruited us, what would we do there? We can only be cannon fodder for them and do the hardest and most tiring work. Most importantly, what about our freedom? You are also from a powerful force. Don't you understand the rules of these powerful forces? There is a price to pay for taking other people's things for free. Once you are in, it will be difficult to get out. If you want to return to the free and unrestrained days like now, it is simply impossible."

"Shrek Academy is the fruit of my life's work, yet you asked me to hand it over to the Eastern Divine Religion and to risk my life for it. Do you still have any conscience? Even if I don't mention myself, when you said this, did you consider Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, Tang San and other teachers and students?"

"Have you obtained their consent? What rights do you have to make decisions for all the teachers and students in the school? What rights do you have to decide their future? They paid to study here, they are not your subordinates! You have no right to use them as bargaining chips to exchange for your own interests!" Flanders became more and more sad as he spoke.

Yu Xiaogang was determined to deceive Flanders. He licked his old face, approached Flanders, and asked, "Besides letting Shrek Academy join the Eastern Divine Religion, what else do you have? We have nothing but our own lives. Why should we let others spend money to treat Xiao San and the others?"

Flanders was silent. He really didn't have any good solution.

Yu Xiaogang then brainwashed Flanders, "Everything has two sides. You can't just look at the bad side, you should also think about the good side! First of all, joining the Eastern Divine Religion can cure Xiao San and the others' strange diseases. Ma Hongjun is your only disciple, you don't want to watch him die!"

"Secondly, we will be safer. Think about it, evil soul masters are prevalent in the continent today, and the major forces are fighting each other. It seems that a war is about to break out. How can we, the small family of Shrek Academy, protect ourselves in the future war?"

"It is still safer to join a big force. Look at the Tianshui Academy. Didn't it also submit to the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan? Now its strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and has even surpassed the lower four sects."

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero!"

Yu Xiaogang has already regarded Shrek Academy as his own industry and has taken the initiative to assume the role of the academy's leader.

"And the most crucial point, don't you want Shrek Academy to be famous all over the world? The best way now is to let Xiao San and the others participate in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition and get good results! But Shrek Academy is not an advanced soul master academy, and it doesn't even have the qualifications to participate. If it joins the Eastern Divine Religion, then these will not be a problem."

"We are just borrowing chickens to lay eggs. We are not going there to join the Eastern Divine Religion, but to use their resources. Do you understand the principle of borrowing chickens to lay eggs?"

"Even if he goes to the Eastern Divine Religion, Ma Hongjun is still your disciple. You are his savior. In his eyes, the only teacher is you, Frank!"

“When Xiao San and his friends achieve good results, or even win the championship, when people mention them, they will naturally mention me, Yu Xiaogang, and you, Flanders. This is no different from Shrek Academy becoming famous across the continent!”

"Think about it carefully, isn't this true? I suggest you join the Eastern Divine Religion not for your own sake, but for the future of the students. It is to give them a bigger platform so that their talents will not be wasted. I am doing this for your own good!"

Yu Xiaogang was dancing with joy as he drew the pie in the sky, as if Tang San had already won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

Flanders was fooled and limped. "Borrowing chickens to lay eggs, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, Xiaogang, it has to be you, good idea!"

Yu Xiaogang slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, you finally reacted. So what are you waiting for? Go and gather the teachers and students of the academy, and have everyone pack their bags and set off for the Eastern Divine Religion!"

Soon, Flanders summoned all the people in the academy who were not unconscious, and Yu Xiaogang began to talk about his grand blueprint...

"How about it, everyone has no objection, right? There are many benefits to joining the Eastern Divine Religion." Yu Xiaogang has already packed his luggage and is ready to leave at any time.

The other teachers and students of Shrek were discussing this.

"I have no objection to saving Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and others, but I don't understand why they have to join the Eastern Divine Religion? Can't they join the Canghui Academy controlled by the Eastern Divine Religion?" Shao Xin expressed his opinion.

Shao Xin doesn't like fighting or power, he likes freedom. It's okay for him to join other academies, but he doesn't want to join other big forces. If he really cares about those powers, with his identity as a food-based soul saint and a clean identity, he has no enemies. As long as he is loyal, even the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan will not refuse.

Yu Xiaogang naturally refused to agree to this. He had no soul power, and Canghui College didn't care about his theory. He couldn't enjoy the luxury of food and clothing wherever he went. The only way to get a good job was to let all Shrek members join the Eastern Divine Religion. "Teacher Shao Xin, didn't you hear what I said just now? Just joining Canghui College without getting much support from the Eastern Divine Religion is a complete waste of students' talents... Look at Tianshui College, it's different,"

Shao Xin interrupted Yu Xiaogang angrily, "Stop, shut up. Don't mention Tianshui College to me. Can Tianshui College be the same as what you said? Tianshui College is subordinate to the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. The Shui family is still one of the leaders of the college and has a lot of autonomy. Tianshui College still exists!"

"Also, Shui Bing'er, the young patriarch of the Shui family, married the young patriarch of the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. What is the connection between us Shrek and the Eastern Divine Religion? Could it be that you, Yu Xiaogang, are planning to dress up as a woman and marry an Eastern Ninja Ghost? It's hilarious!"

"And if we do as you say? Shrek Academy will be disbanded and cease to exist. Not only will we teachers have to work for others, but we will also get nothing in return. If I really wanted to join a big force, I would have joined long ago and would not have stayed in this small village as a cook."

Shao Xin turned and left. Ever since Yu Xiaogang came, Shrek Academy had changed. It was no longer what he had imagined. He no longer felt at home here.

"You can go if you want, but I, Shao Xin, will not go. I am old and my soul power is exhausted. I just want to live a free life. I am leaving."

Shao Xin left resolutely, and finally turned his head to look at Flanders deeply, "Dean Flanders, we are old partners. I have been in Shrek Academy for more than ten years, watching him grow up little by little. You... Well, you should take care of yourself! Let me remind you one last thing, don't be deceived by villains."

"Old Shao, Old Shao, you," Flanders looked at Shao Xin's departing back, hesitant to speak.

"I have something to announce. I, Ning Rongrong, am officially withdrawing from Shrek Academy. From now on, I will have no contact with you. Flanders, the rest of the gold soul coins my father gave you are for you."

Ning Rongrong also stood up and left. She had already chosen where to go next.

As for following Shrek Academy to join the Eastern Divine Religion, don't be ridiculous. Not to mention that she now feels sick when she sees Tang San and the others; the most important thing is that it is not a joke for her, Ning Rongrong, to join the Eastern Divine Religion!
As the heir of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, how could she possibly join another powerful force? Putting aside the issue of face, if she went to the Eastern Divine Religion, she would be placed under house arrest and detained on the spot, and her life would be in danger. At that time, Ning Fengzhi would not be able to redeem her no matter how much money she spent. In the end, among the six teachers, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Wuming Luopan Soul Emperor chose to leave, leaving only Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, and Zhao Wuji. As for Zhao Wuji, he was a wanted criminal himself, and joining Shrek was to find a refuge to stay, so it would be good for him to change to a larger refuge.

Among the seven students, four, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, were unconscious, and only Zhang Hongruo chose to stay.

Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly agreed, thinking, "Dai Mubai is obviously useless now. There is absolutely no hope. If I want to survive, I must find another way. Perhaps, joining the Eastern Divine Religion is not a bad idea!"

"I heard that the young leader of the Eastern Divine Religion, Dongfang Rengui, is a lecher. With my talent, status, and appearance, it will be easy for him to value me. At that time, I can keep my true identity secret and give some face to the Dai family. I can just say that Zhu Zhuqing died unexpectedly. The Xingluo Empire will not put much pressure on the Eastern Divine Religion for this matter. It will be no problem for the Eastern Divine Religion to save my life."

"I don't care if Dai Mubai flirts with other women after he saw me; I don't care if he has homosexual relationships with people like Ma Hongjun. There are many such things among aristocratic families. But what he shouldn't do is to practice hard! He fishes for three days and rests for two days, and doesn't care about my life or death at all."

"Since you, Dai Mubai, are so unkind, don't blame me, Zhu Zhuqing, for being unjust. Then you, Dai Mubai, will have to call me Madam Young Master. I can torture you however I want!"

"I can even go all the way and find a way to become Dongfang Aoxie's woman directly. Then, hahahaha!"

Zhu Zhuqing is now completely disappointed with Dai Mubai and has lost confidence in life. Apart from trying to save her life and torturing Dai Mubai, she also wants to become stronger and control her own destiny!
"Okay! Since everyone has made the decision, let's set off directly to the Eastern Divine Religion. After all, the treatment of Xiaosan, Hongjun and the other four's strange illnesses can't be delayed any longer." Yu Xiaogang was very angry about the departure of Shao Xin, Li Yusong and others, because it meant that the benefits he, Yu Xiaogang, would get would be severely reduced.

A few hours later, Flanders and the others brought Tang San and the other patients to the Eastern Divine Religion. Because the Eastern Divine Religion's base camp in the outside world was expanded based on the Canghui Academy in Soto City, and it was not far from Shrek Academy.

After Dongfang Aoxie became the state teacher of the Barak Kingdom and the Eastern Divine Religion became the state religion of the Barak Kingdom, they infiltrated extensively. They had originally agreed with King Barak to divide the kingdom equally, but now the Barak Kingdom is completely controlled by the Eastern Divine Religion, and deposing the king is just a matter of a word.

The current Soto City has developed into a city second only to Jidao Yinyang Leopard City, Tiandou City, Xingluo City, Wuhun City and other cities. It can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Douluo Continent, far surpassing the capital of the Barak Kingdom.

……

Inside the main hall of the Eastern Divine Religion.

"Father, Shrek Academy has come to our family, what should we do next?" Dongfang Rengui rubbed his hands and asked impatiently. He had heard from his father that Tang San had become a father-in-law and was fighting with Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun every day, so he wanted to get involved.

The Eastern Ninja Ghost wanted to go in whenever he saw a hole. He usually played around with all kinds of things, such as lizards and goats. He hated Tang San and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Why did the Black Demon God choose Tang San and let the Eastern God Cult support Tang San? Go and be a ghost! He, the Eastern Ninja Ghost, was going to crush Tang San.

"Xie'er, don't be anxious. Lord Black Demon has left us a divine decree, asking us to fully assist Tang San. Only when Tang San fails to live up to expectations can we replace him, and Lord Black Demon will give us the benefits given to Tang San. Therefore, we must pretend to attach great importance to Tang San in the early stage, and then secretly and slowly completely destroy him, and then we can..."

It turns out that Tang San was infected with an advanced version of plum poison. Tang San already had this disease, and Dongfang Aoxie used the magic energy left in his body to stimulate it, which caused the current strange disease. Dongfang Aoxie wanted to further destroy Tang San and then replace him.

Tang San also passed it on to Dai Mubai and the other two. Yu Xiaogang had been bedridden recently, and luckily escaped the disaster.

"Father, let me go meet Shrek and the others!" Dongfang Aoxie volunteered.

"Okay, this is a good opportunity to train your ability to handle things."

……

"Guests from Shrek Academy, the Young Master wants you in."

"Thank you, Special Envoy."

Dongfang Rengui looked at the Shrek teachers and students below the stage, first staring at Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Hongruo with lustful eyes, and then turned his gaze to Tang San. He had no shortage of beautiful women, and compared to these, Tang San could arouse his excitement more, and he wanted to trample her hard under his feet.

"I am Flanders, my martial soul is Cat Owl, and I am a level 78, seventh-ring combat soul saint in the agility attack department. Nice to meet you, sir!" Flanders hugged his shoulders, bent over 90 degrees, and looked very humble.

At this time, Flanders could not be arrogant. Although the opponent's soul power was not as high as his and he was younger than him, his status and position were much higher than his. He was in the opponent's base camp with two soul douluos standing beside him. He dared not provoke him, and he even needed the opponent's help.

Yu Xiaogang and others also learned to perform the salute in an imitative manner.

When Zhu Zhuqing introduced her martial spirit, name, and talent, Dongfang Ninja Ghost's eyes showed no emotion. Obviously, Dongfang Ninja Ghost had already found out the identities of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.

"Well, that's good. Everyone, get up! I already know your purpose. The two Battle Soul Saints are quite powerful, and the students are also talented. Regarding your request, I agree to allow you to join the Eastern Divine Religion."

Dongfang Rengui had already assigned everyone in his mind: Tang San would naturally be dealt with properly, and Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Hongruo would be taken in as his women; Dai Mubai would be tied up and blackmailed and humiliated the Star Luo Empire; although Yu Xiaogang was useless, he was the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's leader after all, so he would be perfect to use him to disgust the other party; as for the rest, they would all be treated as cannon fodder.

"Thank you for your gift, Young Master. I, Yu Xiaogang, will swear allegiance to you until death!" Before Flanders could say anything, Yu Xiaogang jumped out to express his loyalty.

The Eastern Ninja Ghost didn't even look at Yu Xiaogang, treating him as a piece of air.

The air around was very quiet. Yu Xiaogang saw that no one paid attention to him and realized that he was just a clown at the moment. He retreated with a red face. Things were completely different from what he thought.

People like Flanders also hurried to express their loyalty.

"Don't be in a hurry to show your loyalty. I have conditions." Dongfang Ninja Ghost smiled sinisterly.
