Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 67 Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires

"The Light of Poseidon?"

The once domineering Poison Undying was shocked by this scene. His face changed drastically, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. His once majestic and domineering face twitched slightly. Poison Undying stared intently at the source of the dazzling golden light, his heart filled with turmoil.

"It's been many years. It seems you've forgotten me." Old Master Mu's calm and authoritative voice rang out once more.

Poison Undying stared in astonishment at the Sea God Pavilion below, which was radiating brilliant golden light. For a moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"You are... Dragon God Douluo, you're still alive? How is that possible? Didn't you already..." Du Busi's voice trembled slightly, filled with shock and confusion.

Elder Mu said calmly, "If I die, will you then bully Shrek Academy?"

Suddenly, a burst of intense golden light flashed in the air, and Poison Undying's dark green body shrank by a meter. A strong emerald green light also emanated from his body, surging around him like a turbulent wave, but it seemed somewhat powerless under the suppression of the golden light.

"I have already asked Huo Yuhao of this academy and told him about the situation of your Body Sect. He expressed his willingness to stay at Shrek Academy. Please go back. I will not hold this matter against you this time because of your brother. But if there is a next time, or if your Body Sect uses other methods to scheme against my disciple in the future, then don't blame me for personally going to the Body Sect to demand an explanation from you." Elder Mu's words struck Du Busi's heart like a heavy hammer.

Poison Undying's expression changed repeatedly, his mind filled with countless thoughts. The Dragon God Douluo's strength was unfathomable, and even now, he was not someone he could easily contend with.

"That little guy has become your disciple?" Poison Undying's voice carried a hint of resentment.

Old Master Mu coldly replied, "That's right. What? Do you think you're more suitable to teach him than I am?"

Poison Immortal took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. "Dragon God Douluo, for your sake, let's just let today's matter drop. But I must tell you, we, the Body Sect, cannot abandon this child. As long as that kid is in Shrek Academy, I won't touch him. But once he leaves Shrek Academy, it's up to us to see who's the best. Until we meet again."

After saying this, Du Busi's dark green light suddenly ignited, burning fiercely in the air like a raging fire. It even burned a hole in the golden light of the Sea God. After flying out, he waved his hand in the air and said, "Those belonging to the Body Sect, retreat."

More than twenty figures swiftly fled into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The golden light in the sky gradually receded and returned to the Sea God Pavilion. The golden light gradually faded away, leaving only a sense of tranquility and solemnity.

At this moment, not only was Shrek Academy in an uproar, with people discussing the scene and filled with shock and curiosity about what had just happened.

Elder Xuan floated down in front of the Sea God Pavilion. The four deans also arrived, their faces showing surprise and confusion, wondering what had just happened.

Elder Mu's voice drifted from inside the Sea God Pavilion: "Shao Zhe, go and appease the people in the city. Everyone else, go back. Xuan Zi, bring the three children in."

"Yes," Yan Shaozhe replied and immediately flew away.

"Releasing the Light of the Sea God once would probably worsen Elder Mu's already battered body."

Ye Qi stood quietly at the highest point of Shrek Academy, looking in the direction where the Body Sect members had disappeared. He smiled wickedly, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant. At the same time, he quickly ran towards the outskirts of Shrek City, where there might be some good stuff waiting for him to collect.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu slowly withdrew his divine power, his face growing paler and paler, like a blank sheet of paper, devoid of any color. He closed his eyes slightly, trying to calm the surging blood and qi within his body. The blood and qi surged like a raging sea, constantly impacting his body and causing him a sharp pain.

Elder Xuan's expression was rather grim as he led Huo Yuhao and the other two to the second floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Elder Mu," Elder Xuan greeted him somewhat dejectedly.

Old Mu smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong? Feeling down? You didn't lose. Being suppressed by Poison Undying is nothing. Even if I really made a move, I might not be able to do much better than you. After all, the current Dragon God is not the Dragon God of the past."

Elder Xuan was greatly alarmed and said, "Elder Mu, you..."

Old Mu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this old man won't die anytime soon. I'll hold on for a few more years until the little ones have all grown up before I can leave in peace."

Just as Elder Mu and Elder Xuan were accepting disciples, Ye Qi'an had already arrived outside Shrek City. With the Dragon God Core providing cover, no one would be able to discover his whereabouts, let alone Jing Hongchen, who was setting up the soul tool in front of him.

Ye Qi'an silently approached Jing Hongchen, secretly chuckling to himself, "If I set up a few more, all these soul tools will be mine later."

Just as Jing Hongchen finished setting up the soul tool, Elder Mu in the Sea God Pavilion suddenly showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and said, "Poison Undying just left, and another friend has arrived. It seems today is truly a good day."

Elder Xuan narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them, as if he was about to take action.

Old Master Mu raised his hand to stop him and said calmly, "Guests are guests, please invite him in."

Elder Xuan's eyes were filled with doubt as he asked in surprise, "Enter the Sea God Pavilion?"

Old Master Mu smiled calmly and said, "Yes, enter the Sea God Pavilion."

Although Elder Xuan was surprised, he wouldn't disobey Elder Mu's wishes. With a flash of light, Elder Xuan disappeared from his spot, and the next moment, he arrived outside the Sea God Pavilion. Looking into the distance, he coldly said, "Since you're here, stop sneaking around. Come out."

As he spoke, he made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand, and instantly, a large, crystalline yellow hand appeared in the air. The hand opened and reached out in one direction, and immediately, countless tiny black spatial rifts appeared in the air in that direction. These rifts spread through the air like a spider web, sending a chill down one's spine.

"Elder Xuan, this is not how you treat a guest." A pale golden light appeared, the halo expanded outward for a moment, then rippled for a second. The distorted light patterns and Elder Xuan's outstretched hand canceled each other out at the same time, and a figure emerged from that direction.

"It's you? Jing Hongchen." A hint of surprise flashed in Elder Xuan's eyes. He hadn't expected the visitor to be Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.

Master Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall smiled slightly and said, "Elder Xuan, since you have taken something from my Mingde Hall, I must come and collect it in person, and also pay my respects to Elder Xuan and Shrek Academy."

Xuan Lao's eyes flashed with divine light, and he said calmly, "Since that's the case, guests are guests, please come in." As he spoke, he turned and walked into the Sea God Pavilion.

Jing Hongchen hesitated. He hadn't expected Elder Xuan to invite him into the Sea God Pavilion. This Sea God Pavilion was probably easy to enter but difficult to leave. Jing Hongchen's heart was filled with hesitation and worry; he didn't know what kind of situation he would face once he entered.

Elder Xuan walked to the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, turned around, and said mockingly, "What? The dignified Master of Mingde Hall doesn't dare to enter the gates of our Sea God Pavilion? If that's the case, then what are you doing here?"

Jing Hongchen raised an eyebrow; in terms of arrogance, he even surpassed the original sect master, Du Busi. Provoked by Elder Xuan, he laughed heartily and strode towards the Sea God Pavilion.

On the other side, Ye Qi'an was secretly delighted after seeing Elder Xuan invite Jing Hongchen into the Sea God Pavilion. The time he had been waiting for had come. He went to the soul tools that had been set up and slowly poured soul power into the necklace he was wearing around his neck.

He himself wasn't skilled in spatial abilities, but someone else was. The necklace around his neck not only allowed him to travel between Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Forest, but also enabled him to summon others. With a flash of light from the necklace, a stunningly beautiful figure quietly appeared.

"Qi'an, is there something you need that you called me in such a hurry?" Gu Yuena's beautiful figure exuded a cool and aloof temperament as she gazed at Ye Qi'an with her beautiful eyes and spoke softly.

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly, pointed to the soul tools that had been set up not far away, and said softly, "Nana, these soul tools are all treasures. If we collect them, they will definitely be of great use."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She raised her hand and waved it lightly, and powerful spatial energy surged instantly. The soul tools seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, disappearing one after another and being absorbed into the special space she had created.

Ye Qi'an watched this scene with satisfaction and praised, "It's so good to have you."

"You chatterbox, we should go. Someone's coming, and quite a few of them." Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qi'an helplessly, then suddenly frowned and looked in one direction as she spoke.

Ye Qi'an's expression hardened, and he immediately nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go quickly."

Gu Yuena waved her jade hand again, and the power of space enveloped the two of them. The power of space was like a huge vortex, which swept them into it and made them disappear without a trace. Not long after they left, a group of people rushed to the place where Jing Hongchen had placed the soul tool. The people who came were the teachers of the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy.

The dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er, looked at the empty space with shock and confusion: "What happened? We clearly detected a strong fluctuation of soul power here just now, but the soul guidance device has vanished."

Xian Lin'er frowned and began to carefully observe the signs around her. She squatted down and gently touched the traces of soul power left on the ground, trying to find some clues. Several soul guidance teachers beside Xian Lin'er also sprang into action, spreading out around and carefully checking every corner.

However, after a careful search, they still found no valuable clues. Xianliner stood up, her face showing a solemn expression.

"let's go."

Xian Lin'er left with the teachers of the Soul Guidance Department, filled with doubts. Meanwhile, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena had already returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, enveloped by the power of space.

Ye Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with excitement. "Four level-nine soul tools plus four level-eight soul tools, this is a windfall, this is definitely worth it."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her cool face. "Anyone who runs into you is truly unlucky."

Ye Qi'an chuckled and said, "You can't blame me for that. They left the soul tool there, clearly telling me to take it."

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him and said, "Keep talking nonsense. What are your plans next?"

Ye Qi'an pondered for a moment and said, "I need to study these soul tools carefully to see if they can provide some ideas for my research. I can't keep being passive."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you're right."

A glint of light flashed in Ye Qi'an's eyes as he said, "I'm going to use these soul tools to create some chaos and get what I need."

Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qi'an and said, "Don't do anything reckless. If you cause too much trouble, we won't be able to handle it, especially since I haven't fully recovered yet."

Ye Qi'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

At this moment, Jing Hongchen, who was in the Sea God Pavilion, had a black line on his face. He came here for two main purposes: one was to get the Sword of Judgment, and the other was to exchange and learn. What does it mean to try to steal a chicken but lose the rice instead, or lose both wife and army? He didn't get the level eight soul tool Sword of Judgment, and he lost a level nine soul tool.

Elder Mu nodded, and Jing Hongchen felt a lightness in his hand as Hongchen's protection was already in front of Elder Mu.

"You're flexible and adaptable; no wonder Mingde Hall has flourished under your leadership. You can leave now. If you plan to sneak in again, I hope you're absolutely certain. Otherwise, the ticket won't just be a level nine soul tool."

After bowing slightly to Elder Mu with a wry smile, Jing Hongchen turned and left. Once outside the Sea God Pavilion, he immediately took to the air, a pair of dark golden wings unfurling from his back and disappearing in an instant. He didn't want to stay at Shrek Academy for even a second longer. However, when he saw the soul tools he had set up beforehand, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before entering Shrek Academy, Jing Hongchen had deployed eight fixed-position soul tools approximately several kilometers away, four of which were level nine and four were level eight. He could have immediately launched an attack on Shrek Academy and Shrek City simply by remotely triggering them. However, when he found the location of his deployed soul tools, he discovered only traces of them. All eight powerful fixed-position soul tools had vanished. He tried to trigger them remotely, but there was no response.

"Damn it, I should have installed self-destruct devices on these soul tools! Thieves, a bunch of thieves!" Jing Hongchen cursed angrily.

However, his temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast. He glanced back at Shrek Academy, a venomous glint in his eyes, snorted coldly, and rose again, quickly leaving.

"Elder Mu, someone beat us to it." Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo arrived at the Sea God Pavilion and said to Elder Mu in a deep voice.

Old Master Mu slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, a wise glint flashing in them: "This was expected. Jing Hongchen came here with ill intentions, so it's not surprising that someone was eyeing his soul tool. The person who came was very strong; even I couldn't sense him."

Xian Lin'er frowned. "But these soul tools are extremely powerful. If they fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, they could cause a great deal of trouble."

Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement, "Yes, Elder Mu, we must find out who took these soul tools as soon as possible."

Elder Mu smiled calmly, "No need to rush, it will appear when the time is right. What we need to do now is strengthen the academy's defenses to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"Yes," Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo replied in unison.
