Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

"Don't be so sensitive." Poseidon Douluo frowned.

"It's nothing." Zhu Zhuqing wiped Dai Mubai's mouth. "Sea God Douluo, please continue."

"After I escaped, I came to this island to recuperate, but I didn't expect you all to come as well." He shook his head and said, "However, since we share the same goal, let's travel together here."

"Do you also want to go to sea?" Dai Mubai asked.

"That's right. As we all know, the current situation on Douluo Continent is dire. Shrek Academy has been defeated, and Star Luo City is under siege; it's only a matter of time before it falls. Only the Douling Empire remains, barely clinging to life. They were originally the weakest empire and are incapable of stopping the advance of the Sun Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult, and even the Spirit Hall."

"However, on the Douluo Continent, the sea is much larger than the land, which is my greatest advantage. My original plan was to go to another continent and make it the new place for the Sea God to absorb faith." The Sea God Douluo said in a low voice, "As you all should know, the reason why the Sea God was able to rise from a first-level god to his current position is inseparable from the support of the power of faith."

Dai Mubai thought to himself that this guy didn't seem to know that a wisp of Tang San's soul had died in the lower realm, which would affect his own soul and even require a large amount of energy to recover. He also didn't know that Tang San had been imprisoned, and could only roughly guess that Tang San was probably in seclusion again at this time.

"Since we share the same goal, we can indeed travel together. You want to help the Sea God regain his strength, and we also need to obtain the divine inheritance we've arranged in advance..." Dai Mubai sighed, "We must do it as soon as possible!"

"Why?" Chen Haoming asked curiously, "If we rush back without having had a long time to rest and recuperate, isn't that just sending ourselves to our deaths? The beliefs on the mainland have probably changed by now. Even with the blessing of the sea, we can't guarantee victory in this war."

"...Because I have a good brother who is still on the mainland, and I want to come back to pick him up," Dai Mubai said after a moment of silence.

Oh right, he also doesn't know that Ma Hongjun is gone too.

"You're truly loyal and righteous. I promise you," Chen Haoming said solemnly. "Actually, my brothers and sisters also died at the hands of the Spirit Hall. I couldn't wait to come back and skin those people alive!"

Qian Renxue left the undead demiplane and arrived at the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

She appeared on the island in the middle of the Sea God Lake, which was originally the site of the Golden Tree, but Qian Renxue dug it up.

There are still some effects. For example, the area around the so-called "Sea God Island" originally had a strong amount of primordial energy.

According to intelligence, the timing of Jianbaoge's escape was deliberately chosen, as Shrek Academy was holding an annual matchmaking event called "Sea God's Fate."

It is said that this incident occurred in order to ease the tense atmosphere in Shrek City and demonstrate the so-called "true friendship in times of adversity." Therefore, the Sea God Pavilion lineage resolutely continued to hold the event as scheduled, and even expanded it, with not only students from the inner academy participating, but also students from the outer academy.

It was this event that gave Jianbaoge and its affiliates the opportunity to abscond.

But all of this was intentional on Da Ming's part; he wanted to create this opportunity for Jianbaoge.

Later, the Jianbaoge lineage was thwarted, and Da Ming panicked. He knew that Shrek City would not be able to withstand the attacks of the Sun Moon Empire and the Spirit Hall, so he chose to transfer Ah Yin's soul.

During this time, through the connection between the Golden Tree and Ah Yin, he released a hallucinogenic field that enveloped almost the entire Shrek Academy. He then bestowed beautiful illusions upon the singing and dancing students, and finally set Shrek City ablaze.

Because there simply wasn't enough time to take too many people with them, only he and a few elders actually managed to leave the city. Everyone else was trapped inside Shrek City. Qian Renxue sighed; most of this information was gleaned from Da Ming's memories after he absorbed Da Ming's spirit ring.

With a wave of her hand, a surge of spiritual energy shot into the sky, directly recreating the scene from that moment, much like an open-air soul-guided projection. The main content was the conversation between Da Ming and several elders who had fled with him inside the Golden Tree.

"What is that?" Poison Undying, who was lying happily on a patch of grass, was stunned when he saw the image appearing in the sky.

"Miss!" Shen Yuanyi noticed Qian Renxue appear on the island in the middle of the lake and immediately appeared beside her in a few flashes. "What is this?"

"The memories extracted from that water snake's head. Go, bring over the few Super Douluo who were captured outside the city, and then show this video to everyone!" Qian Renxue said.

"Okay, okay." Shen Yuanyi nodded and went to find Du Busi and Lin Mengtong.

……

About fifteen minutes later, the entire inner courtyard of Shrek Academy was filled with people, including teachers and students. However, quite a few people had already died by this time, either in the previous battle or after Shrek City was occupied and they had been exposed by the Shadow Hall for trying to cause trouble.

"They are really easy to be deceived." In the projection, an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, a level 96 Super Douluo, casually grabbed and killed an inner court teacher who was reading a book in the Scripture Pavilion.

"Master, you only provided them with one night of indulgence, and they completely let their guard down."

Da Ming paused for a moment, then laughed: "Yes, that's exactly how they are. These men and women going on blind dates are under immense pressure from the continuous war. I bet those students are dreaming of confessing their feelings to their crushes and then naturally ending up in bed together."

"They'll live one day at a time, they've probably had enough of this kind of life." Da Ming pulverized the inner court teacher's corpse into dust, then pulled out a few books and took them away. "As the hallucinogenic power within the domain increases, everyone will have more and more fun."

"The Pavilion Master truly lives up to his reputation as a former god; his understanding of human nature is beyond my reach." The elder bowed repeatedly.

Da Ming glanced at him, then asked, "How are the preparations going in the other places?"

The elder said, "My men have already gone to prepare; all we need is a fire."

……

Everyone watched the footage in shock. They never expected that the fire was not caused by the fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells of the Sun Moon Empire, as most of them thought.

It came from their beloved Lord of the Sea God Pavilion! (End of Chapter)
