Elder Xuan's voice was evidently a little more rushed now. He said angrily, "Di Tian, even if you want to frame others for this, you have to find a reliable and believable reason. The Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, offered herself to a human soul master? Do you even believe your own words? You can try asking the other soul beasts in the forest... do they believe this? You are clearer than I am about what the Emperor Beast's existence entails. Could she even offer herself to a human?"

　　Di Tian said coldly, "Nothing is impossible. The Emperor Beast was born with intelligence comparable to you humans, and she must have walked into the world of humans because she was curious. The Emperor Beast was born from the destiny of the heavens, and she has always acted according to destiny. There are far too many things that can taint and pollute her in the human world, and problems appeared in the Emperor Beast's way of thinking because of these pollutions. Don't try to absolve yourself of responsibility, the only humans that the Emperor Beast saw before she left the forest were you and your students! I heard from the Scarlet King that, back then, one of your students interacted with her. I am very sure that whatever's happened to the Emperor Beast has something to do with that student of yours! Hand him over, and my army will not invade Shrek City. Otherwise, we will wash Shrek with blood, and we will exterminate everything and everyone!"

　　Elder Xuan's att.i.tude changed a little as he listened to Di Tian's words. There was no question that Huo Yuhao was the person who Di Tian was talking about! Elder Xuan was the perpetrator back then, so he knew, as he was the one who had helped Huo Yuhao obtain part of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's power of destiny, and he was the one who had helped Huo Yuhao open his Eye of Destiny.

　　Does this mean that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion offered herself to Yuhao? He thought about Huo Yuhao going missing recently in the Sun Moon Empire. He's likely to have encountered danger of some kind. Perhaps, what Di Tian has said isn't impossible. However, when did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion get together with Yuhao? Why has he never mentioned this to me before?

　　"Di Tian, I cannot agree to your request. That student you're looking for isn't even in the Academy, and even if he were, how could I give one of my Academy's students to you?" Elder Xuan's voice became plain and composed. He was very clear as he watched the way Di Tian was behaving that the beast wave's invasion was inevitable. Even if he gave Huo Yuhao to Di Tian, the Emperor Beast's death was enough to instigate these savage beasts' aggression and hostility. Even if they didn't attack Shrek, they would attack other cities, and Shrek would have to take on the responsibility of fighting them off.
