Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 210 Zhang Lexuan: The truth of that year

Everyone knew that the Sun-Moon Empire was showing off its muscles and starting a massive "war", but they all pretended to be ignorant.

Tianhun Empire: Where is the war? It's just some minor frictions.

Douling Empire: Who dares to say that the Sun and Moon Empire wants to start a war? We have always coexisted peacefully and are the closest partners...

Shrek Academy: That’s right, the friendship between Shrek and the Sun-Moon Empire is unshakable.

Star Luo Empire: Aba Aba...

At this moment, no one dared to jump out and accuse the Sun-Moon Empire of launching the first military attack. Instead, they just pretended to be stupid.

After all, the Sun-Moon Empire has actually proven its unrivaled combat power and its potential to sweep across the Three Kingdoms and Shrek.

The reconnaissance troops (Mechas) penetrated deep into the divided battlefield, cutting off all routes within the country, and then the follow-up troops (mobile turrets, heavy-duty soul guides) circled and annihilated them. The major beast soul guide groups cooperated so well that they were worthy of being elites, and there was not a single mistake to be found.

This battle is destined to go down in history, and it also marks that the glory of soul masters has passed. What is coming next will be the era of technology.

Xu Cheng looked at the series of orders and grinned.

Ever since Ning Tian and Mingdetang reached a cooperation agreement a few days ago, many hidden sects that had also defected to the Sun and Moon Empire have also come to cooperate.

It is a win-win situation. Mingdetang has money and can better develop soul guide projects and exchange special materials from more regions. The hidden sects have also improved their combat power and at the same time boarded the giant ship of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Since Shrek was sensible and didn't mention anything about Zhang Lexuan, we can now enter a period of peace.

Xu Cheng never thought of sending troops to attack Shrek. After all, there were too many tricks in that place. Tang San didn't put much effort in Tang Sect, but instead put all his hopes on Shrek. Not to mention Ah Yin, just take the Heart of Poseidon. If Tang San was forced into a corner, it would not be worth it for him to just summon the god.

Although he also had a backup plan - the God of Destruction, he was unsure about the latter's test, so he would be cautious and not act rashly.

Moreover, in this peaceful period, the Sun-Moon Empire will once again usher in an explosive development of soul guide technology because of thousands of years of accumulation, but Shrek is different, they can only watch.

In fact, compared to war, Xu Cheng prefers "dirty development".

Now, he is showing off his muscles only because he is annoyed by some fleas. While reducing trouble, he will give the Sun and Moon Empire more opportunities for development.

It's a disguised conspiracy.

The three countries of the original continent were all well aware of the horror of the Sun-Moon Empire, and knew that allowing it to develop would be a hidden danger that would be difficult to resolve, but they could only grit their teeth and admit it.

Let more hidden sects realize that the three kingdoms of the original continent, even with Shrek and the Body Sect, are far from being a match for the Sun-Moon Empire. Recognize the facts and unite as soon as possible.

Those fence-sitters who kept jumping back and forth settled down early.

"The rod of God, ah, the rod of God." Xu Cheng smacked his lips.

As the various forces on the mainland have settled down, he has more ideas. Missiles are used for deterrence, but they are too powerful and can easily cause accidental injuries.

So he was very interested in the Rod of God, which is actually a bit similar to a variant of the Star Destroyer, both of which are launched from outside the planet by a spacecraft (satellite).

This kind of thing has been proven to be ineffective on the original planet, but this is Douluo Continent, and it does not follow the physics of the Blue Planet.

Just imagine, you can hit wherever you point, and the damage comes from the top of your head. This kind of irresistible attack is quite cool.

Besides the above, there is also the below - the deep sea.

There is not much mention of the deep sea in the original book, until ten thousand years later, when it is vaguely mentioned.

After all, it is said that it is a mysterious place with numerous powerful soul beasts. If you want to migrate to space in the future, or do other things, exploring the complete Douluo plane is an indispensable process.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..." Xu Cheng sighed.

"Brother, Sister Le Xuan is still imprisoned." Nana reminded weakly.

"I know." Xu Cheng nodded slightly. It was time to go.

He was actually a little angry about Zhang Lexuan's leaving without saying goodbye. To be honest, it was difficult for anything to stir up his emotions nowadays, but this incident made him particularly angry.

Because Zhang Lexuan didn't trust him. Even though he had clearly said that he would handle the matter, she still planned to leave without saying goodbye and didn't even discuss it with him.

Just walk away?
Can this matter be just ignored? He wanted to hang her up and spank her hard.

But thinking back to when I peeped into her heart a few days ago... wow, I seemed to have discovered something weird.

"Sister Le Xuan actually loves you very much..." Nana said, pursing her red lips.

"Yeah." Xu Cheng nodded.

It is worthy of the name of the love continent. As long as a woman falls in love with him, he will almost certainly be determined to be with her until the end of his life, and even life and death will be ignored (of course, this is only limited to supporting characters with names).

"Of course I know."

"It's my fault too. I've been the riddle teller all the time. It's normal for her to be afraid that I'm trying to fool her." Xu Cheng pinched his temple.

"Okay, go and take a look. By the way, the other Shrek disciples can be released as well. As long as they don't leave the Sun-Moon Empire, the rest of the class will continue as usual."

He waved his hand.

"Yes!" Nana said with a smile.

……

Mingde Hall.

In a quiet room.

Zhang Lexuan sat quietly on the bed, staring at the bracelet in her hand, revealing a complicated look.

This was a gift from Xu Cheng to her a few days ago when he took her to attend the Xu family's royal ceremony in a gorgeous dress. She has always regarded it as a token of love.

But now, because of Shrek, she was also caught in the vortex and affected.

Because of her status as the eldest sister in the inner courtyard and the leader of the team, her position is particularly sensitive.

She deserved the way Ah Cheng treated her, she should be more... No, Zhang Lexuan, what are you thinking about!
Zhang Lexuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she patted her pretty face and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness..."

Suddenly, the voice of the guard was heard outside the door.

The sound of footsteps made Zhang Lexuan feel uneasy.

A pair of white and tender hands tightly grasped the bed sheets, with her back to the door, she bit her red lips lightly, and a blush flashed across her face.

The door was pushed open.

Then close it again.

Zhang Lexuan could clearly hear the footsteps getting closer and closer until they were just a stone's throw away.

You can even hear his heartbeat.

If it were in the past, when the two of them were in the same room, she would have wanted to snuggle into Xu Cheng's arms, kiss him passionately, and inhale the scent of Xu Cheng like a cat, which made her intoxicated.

But at this moment, she forcibly restrained her desire.

Xu Cheng looked at the beauty with her back to him. Her body was shaking constantly, as if she was trying to hold back her tears, or was she impulsive. "What do you think?"

Xu Cheng said softly.

"Acheng, I really didn't betray you. I'm going to leave because, because..." Zhang Lexuan raised her head and looked at Xu Cheng. Her beautiful face was already covered with tears. She kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her tone was a little flustered.

Xu Cheng sat beside the beauty, their skin touching.

"call……"

Xu Cheng sighed softly.

"You don't think I would really doubt you..."

"Then, then you..." Zhang Lexuan sobbed, raised her head, and looked at Xu Cheng with tearful eyes.

"I'm angry that you left without saying goodbye. Even if you had informed me, I wouldn't be so angry." Xu Cheng took the opportunity to hug Zhang Lexuan's slender waist.

"You, you know?" Zhang Lexuan was shocked.

"Nonsense, just look at your absent-minded behavior, anyone can tell that something is wrong." Xu Cheng said.

"But I, Ah Cheng, I don't want to be like this either... I can't bear to leave you, but they are rushing me too much, and I don't want to leave either. I wish you would find out and imprison me then... "

Zhang Lexuan started sobbing.

She buried her head in Xu Cheng's arms and pressed her delicate body against him.

With Nuan Yu in his arms, Xu Cheng was helpless. He gently patted her back and comforted her, "Okay, it's my fault. Come with me to see something later, and you'll understand why I'm so confident."

"..." Zhang Lexuan said nothing, but just grabbed Xu Cheng's sleeve tightly.

After a while, she wiped away her tears and lay in Xu Cheng's arms with a pout.

"Buzz!"

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan was calm, Xu Cheng called out a few guards, all of whom were carrying prisoners, but their hands seemed to be restrained by soul-guided shackles. They were pushed into the room with lifeless eyes and stood in a row.

"You have found your true identity. It is true that you are of the Sun and Moon royal bloodline, but there seems to be something wrong with you being among the little nobles in the Sky Soul Empire whose martial soul is the moon."

Xu Cheng put his arms around the beauty's slender waist and spoke softly.

"Acheng, you mean..." Zhang Lexuan seemed to understand something, and a look of shock flashed across her face.

"Just take a look, and you'll know."

Xu Cheng tapped gently.

The two of them seemed to enter another world in an instant, and blood was like a drop of ink, spreading across this world.

The red world.

This was a luxurious courtyard that only nobles could afford, but at the moment it was covered in blood, and cries and wails could be heard everywhere.

Many servants fled in all directions, while several figures in black robes cruelly harvested lives.

The two of them watched all this silently from a third party's perspective.

"This is... the Zhang family." Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

She knew it very well. This was the day in her memory when her family was destroyed by a mysterious man.

She managed to escape the disaster by hiding under the bed while playing hide-and-seek with her mother.

Although the perspective is flipped.

Inside a house.

Under the bed, a little girl with a ponytail was lying there bored, looking outside eagerly to see if her mother would come back to find her.

Just then, a figure rushed into the room, rummaging around for something.

The girl under the bed seemed to think it was her mother, and quickly lay motionless on the ground, her mouth open helplessly, but in fact she was giggling.

This scene is quite distressing to watch.

But Zhang Lexuan was a little dazed.

Because at this moment, she could clearly sense that these people in black were at least at the Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint level. They could easily slaughter a small noble (the clan leader was almost a Soul King), so how could they not sense the existence of a little girl?

Then there is only...

Sure enough, from a third-person perspective.

She clearly saw that the man in black robe subconsciously glanced under the bed, then curled the corners of his mouth and walked out without looking back.

As if watching a movie, the two followed the perspective of these men in black robes. After killing them all, they did not loot, but instead rushed away in unison.

Until a few minutes later.

An old figure slowly appeared above the night sky.

The target was clearly pointed towards the little girl.

"That's enough. I don't want to watch it anymore!" Zhang Lexuan was a little overwhelmed.

"This is something extracted from the depths of your memory and their memory. I just restored the scene without making any changes." Xu Cheng said quietly.

"In my mind, Moon is actually a very kind and benevolent old man," Xu Cheng talked about his feelings about the original work in his previous life and sighed softly, "but we also have to take different sides. On Shrek's side, he is a trustworthy elder, as solid as Mount Tai. He always makes people feel at ease, but this is for our own people..."

"He is always a tough opponent to his enemies, and even someone who will do anything to achieve his goals."

"So he is not a saint. I can understand why he did this."

"Mr. Mu, why?!!!" Zhang Lexuan said sadly.

"For you, for Shrek Academy." Xu Cheng said lightly.

"In fact, he had sensed Shrek's decline a long time ago, so he has been looking for a way. Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek has almost never lacked the moment of being suppressed by the Ultimate Douluo. Even in its heyday, there was more than one Ultimate Douluo. This is Shrek's mainstay, and unfortunately his time is up. If he can't find a replacement, then..."

"So in fact, he has been eyeing you since the beginning. At the age of eight, you have broken through to level 20 and reached the realm of a great soul master. If you grow up well in the future, it will be just around the corner for you to break through to the Limit Douluo."

"The most important thing is that you are easy to control, come from a humble background, and don't have much of a background." Xu Cheng said calmly.

"After all, the aristocratic families are in control now. There is no genius in Shrek who doesn't have a powerful aristocratic family to back him up. So a 'family child' like you is simply born for Shrek."

“But why did he do this? I could obviously join Shrek Academy, and then…” Zhang Lexuan said sadly.

"Because it's difficult to control." Xu Cheng sighed lightly.

"Moreover, he doesn't have much time left, so he cannot tolerate any abnormal factors that would disrupt his plan."

"..."
