Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 524 The Passing of Old Master Mu

"This tower master has returned!"

As Huo Yuhao entered the Spirit Transmission Valley, he let out a proud shout.

But the scene he had envisioned of his wives all coming out to greet him did not occur. In fact, none of the wives of the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda came out to greet him!
Only the sword fanatic Ji Juechen was startled by the sound and suddenly appeared.

"Huo Yuhao, you're finally back!" Ji Juechen's eyes gleamed with the same fighting spirit as always.

But he knew this was not the time for sparring, so he immediately said, "You've come back just in time. Shrek Academy just sent word that your Sea God Pavilion Master, Elder Mu, and Bei Bei and the others have all returned to the Sea God Pavilion. You should hurry over there too."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. Elder Mu?
Could it be?

In the original story, Mu was already past his prime before Huo left Shrek Academy to study abroad.

However, this was because the Holy Spirit Cult launched a surprise attack on Shrek Academy in order to seize Ma Xiaotao, forcing Elder Mu to take action, which further exacerbated his already dwindling lifespan and accelerated the passing of his life.

In this life, none of these things happened, which is why Elder Mu's life was able to continue for a few more years. However, now that I think about it, it seems that his time has indeed come.

Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "I understand. We'll head over now."

Wang Dong'er looked at Huo Yuhao worriedly: "Yuhao."

She knew that Elder Mu was Huo Yuhao's teacher, and now that her teacher was about to pass away, what about Yuhao?
Actually, Wang Dong'er was overthinking it.

First, the current Huo Yuhao is no longer the sentimental Huo Yuhao of the original. Second, Huo Yuhao knows that Elder Mu's passing is not a complete disappearance; his soul will remain in the Golden Tree, secretly protecting Shrek Academy.

But the passing of Elder Mu was a major event, so the two of them didn't waste any more time on their way back to Shrek Academy and flew away.

The Spirit Valley was not far from Shrek City, and in no time at all, Shrek Academy was in sight.

After landing at the east gate, the two quickly ran towards the Sea God Lake.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

Bei Bei, Di Qianqiu, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Ning Tian and others stood quietly in a row, looking at the person in the head of the table with sorrow in their eyes.

Old Mu remained lying quietly in his recliner. Several years had passed, and almost all of his hair had fallen out. His vitality seemed to have come to an end, and he rarely even opened his eyes anymore.

If they didn't know, they would never have imagined that the old man in front of them, who seemed to be on his last breath, was the strongest person in Shrek Academy, Limit Douluo, Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

Elder Xuan stood quietly beside Elder Mu, along with all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, including Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Xian Liner, and Qian Duoduo.

Elder Xuan's face was somewhat sorrowful. His gaze swept over the group of young people in front of him, then he subconsciously looked outside, his eyes seemingly filled with regret.

Outside the Sea God Pavilion, a total of sixty-seven inner court disciples sat quietly cross-legged in front of the door. Sitting at the very front was a girl who looked to be about twenty years old.

Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, her delicate face was fair and flawless, and her hands, except for her thumbs, had the other eight fingers interlaced, with the thumbs touching, resting quietly on her calves as she sat cross-legged. Her tranquil and gentle temperament was unforgettable at first sight.

Behind her, the other sixty-six inner court disciples, none of whom were over thirty years old, sat quietly in ten rows, each maintaining the same posture as her.

Huo Yuhao was also among those familiar with Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng, and others, but their seating arrangements varied according to their cultivation levels. Except for Ma Xiaotao, who was seated in the first row, the others were positioned further back. The girl sitting at the very front slowly opened her eyes, a deep sadness reflected in her bright and intelligent black eyes.

"Old Master Mu, are you really leaving?" Zhang Lexuan thought to herself, taking a deep breath.

As the chief disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court, she had far more contact with Elder Mu than the other inner court disciples present, and their relationship was naturally much deeper.

She really didn't want to accept this news, but the facts were right in front of her. Today, she could only send Old Master Mu off on his final journey here.

Thinking of this, two lines of clear tears flowed down Zhang Lexuan's beautiful face.

The inner disciples behind her occasionally glanced at Zhang Lexuan. In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, there was an unwritten rule that everyone had to address the chief disciple as senior brother or senior sister.

Without a doubt, Zhang Lexuan enjoys unparalleled prestige among the inner disciples and is the dream lover of countless male students.

However, she never interacted with any of her classmates, devoting all her energy to cultivation. The reason for this was known only to a few people, including Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and Elder Mu.

Zhang Lexuan, who is only 26 years old this year, has participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament twice. In the second competition, she served as the captain and defeated her opponents like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

What's even more terrifying is that she created nearly three thousand years of history for Shrek Academy. At only twenty-six years old, she was already an eight-ring Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, unparalleled in Shrek.

Even back then, Ma Xiaotao was just a little girl in front of her, and Zhang Lexuan was the only inner court disciple whom Ma Xiaotao truly respected.

Of course, with Huo Yuhao's help, Ma Xiaotao recently fused with the soul spirit of the Fiery Apricot and consumed the Fiery Apricot's Ten-Thousand-Year Blazing Glue. With the heaven-defying medicinal properties of the Ten-Thousand-Year Immortal Herb, she successfully advanced to the Soul Douluo realm, breaking Zhang Lexuan's record.

It was only because of Huo Yuhao that she had just advanced to the next level, and since returning, she had been living a secluded life in the Spirit Transmission Valley.

Therefore, apart from the few direct descendants of the Spirit Pagoda, no one else knew that she had advanced to the Soul Douluo level.

Although she was summoned back to the Sea God Pavilion by Elder Xuan today, everyone's attention was focused on Elder Mu, and no one had the time to pay attention to her cultivation level.

Otherwise, the 24-year-old Contra, Ma Xiaotao, would probably immediately leave everyone present speechless with shock.

Old Mu slowly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were originally dull and yellowish, became extremely clear at this moment, turning into a deep blue, like the endless depths of the sea.

His gaze slowly shifted to Bei Bei, who was standing on the far left, and then moved slowly over Di Qianqiu, Xiao Xiao, Xu Sanshi and others, a hint of relief appearing in his aged eyes.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Beibei's gentle eyes.

Di Qianqiu's pale golden eyes were already moist.

Several years ago, Elder Mu discovered her identity, but he did not treat her differently because of the natural antagonism between their races.

Over the years, Master Mu has been dedicated to teaching her, and she has been able to get his careful answers to any questions she has.

Therefore, Di Qianqiu genuinely regarded Elder Mu as his teacher.

Now that her teacher is about to pass away, she is also filled with sorrow.
