Douluo Continent: Cultivating Qi and Immortals, Insidious to the Extreme

Zhao Wuji was now in despair.

A prince of the Star Luo Empire, the daughter of a Star Luo Marquis, and the son of a Title Douluo.

Now that they've all died here, what courage does he have to go back?

It would be better to die quickly under Dugu Bo's hand now, rather than go back and suffer the double torment of body and mind.

"Old poisoner, why waste your breath on him? Does someone like him even deserve to listen?"

"Useless, a troublemaker, a devil in his youth, and still the same old scoundrel in his old age, showing no sign of restraint."

At this moment, Jiang Xia walked over with several storage soul tools, looking at Zhao Wuji with a displeased expression.

"Coward, if you want to die, die yourself. Don't even think about dirtying our hands."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia snatched Zhao Wuji's storage soul tool.

"Take this as a lesson. Next time, be more careful before you cause trouble, and don't mess with just anyone."

"Remember this: the saying 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre' is just nonsense; a true hero is one who can keep everything peaceful."

"Old poisoner, let's go."

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, glanced at Xiao Wu on the ground without leaving a trace, and looked at Jiang Xia with a face full of doubt.

Jiang Xia shook his head subtly.

Dugu Bo then looked away and nodded.

Dugu Yan then ran over, her face beaming with joy as she recounted how cool Jiang Xia's performance had been.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly at her, then turned and walked into the store.

As he said, a true hero is one who can resolve all problems.

Although the shopkeepers were afraid of their power and dared not ask for compensation, it was not in his nature to bully others and take advantage of the weak.

Therefore, compensation should still be given.

Let's take it from this loot.

Ning Rongrong glanced at the chaotic scene and couldn't help but shrink back.

"That's terrible."

He looked up again at Jiang Xia, who was negotiating with the shop owner for damage compensation, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Is a true hero someone who can smooth things over?"

"If I went with them, it would probably make my trip more exciting."

A sly glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she stealthily moved closer to Jiang Xia.

She came out of town just to have fun.

With two titled Douluo backing her up, and a wealthy and powerful family, nothing in the world mattered to Ning Rongrong anymore.

The reason I chose Shrek Academy is because I found their philosophy to be unique and interesting, and I thought it would be exciting to be with them.

Now it seems they're just so-so.

They only cause trouble, but have no ability to resolve it.

Aside from causing trouble and harming others and oneself, it is utterly useless.

Now she is attracted to Jiang Xia's chivalrous spirit and tender heart.

He is cold and ruthless to enemies, but kind and gentle to the weak, and occasionally utters a thought-provoking statement.

This kind of person, this kind of personality, is really so cool for a child like Ning Rongrong who is not very worldly, right?

Soon, Jiang Xia made full compensation to the shop owner for all the losses.

The place was no longer habitable, so the three of them immediately looked for another place.

Soon, Ning Rongrong's furtive behavior caught Dugu Yan's attention. She gave her a strange look, then turned to Jiang Xia and said:

"Jiang Xia, that little girl is catching up."

Jiang Xia shook his head: "Never mind her, she's Ning Fengzhi's daughter, the one with the highest aptitude among the inner disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the next successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Dugu Yan was taken aback: "Oh? How did she end up hanging out with that bunch of scum?"

Jiang Xia shrugged: "How would I know? Maybe he's just looking for a thrill."

Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something, yet also as if she understood nothing at all.

Jiang Xia didn't say anything more.

After all, Dugu Yan has been with him all this time; otherwise, she would probably be no different from Ning Rongrong.

"In that case, should we wait for her?"

"Recently, our sect has been under increasing pressure. Didn't you and Grandpa say you wanted to find an opportunity to unite with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Jiang Xia shook his head noncommittally.

"No need. You can't make a sale by rushing people. Just ignore her. She'll contact us on her own."

As expected, seeing that Jiang Xia and the others tacitly agreed to her following, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up and she quickly ran over.

"Greetings, Grandpa Dugu, brothers and sisters, Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School greets you all..."

After Jiang Xia and the others left, Zhao Wuji looked at the chaotic scene with tears in his eyes.

Since Dugu Bo didn't kill him just now, he naturally no longer had any thoughts of suicide.

Regardless, as the only survivor from Shrek Academy on this trip, I must bring back what happened here, including the students' corpses.

"Little Ao..."

Reaching Oscar, Zhao Wuji called out in a tearful voice, but his expression changed drastically the moment his hands touched Oscar.

He quickly put Oscar down and checked on the others one by one.

The more he examined, the wider Zhao Wuji's smile became.

After the last person was checked, Zhao Wuji knelt down and kowtowed in the direction where Jiang Xia and the others had left, weeping.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

By this time, Jiang Xia and the others had found new accommodations.

Jiang Xia and Dugu Bo were in a room discussing what had happened earlier.

Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong shared a room and chatted casually.

Ning Rongrong mainly spoke, while Dugu Yan listened, and also took the opportunity to get some information out of this naive girl.

"Look, he even wants to thank us."

In order to find Tang Hao's whereabouts, the entire town was under Jiang Xia's divine sense, and he naturally saw all of Zhao Wuji's actions.

As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo possessed powerful spiritual strength and naturally had strong perception, so he naturally saw Zhao Wuji's actions.

"I can understand why you didn't kill them, after all, it wasn't a life-or-death feud. But why didn't you take that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast with you?"

"With your abilities, I don't believe you didn't see it."

Jiang Xia shook his head: "It's not the right time yet."

"The identities of that group of people are somewhat complicated: a prince of Xingluo, a pre-selected princess of Xingluo, and Tang Hao's son."

"Leaving aside the fact that the Star Luo Empire is far away and the emperor is far away, our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is located in the core of the Heaven Dou Empire, so they don't pose much of a threat to us."

"But Tang Hao cannot be indifferent. Although the Haotian Sect behind him is secluded, they are still connected by blood. If a major crisis occurs, it is hard to guarantee that they will not come out of seclusion to help."

"I originally wanted to lure Tang Hao out as well, so we could capture them all at once."

"If the person is dead, the Haotian Sect will naturally not go to great lengths for a dead person."

"But even after I severely injured them all, Tang Hao still didn't show up."

"It's obvious that Tang Hao is either not here, or we have accidentally alerted him, making him afraid to show himself."

"If we kill his son now, Tang Hao will definitely go crazy. An out-of-control Title Douluo, plus the reclusive Haotian Sect, would be a huge threat to our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly: "So we're just going to watch the duck that's already in our mouths fly away?"

"That's a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast. You just happen to be missing a soul ring, and you can absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring. Isn't this fate?"

Jiang Xia laughed and said, "Haste makes waste. Their presence here must mean they're going to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"There are many spirit beasts inside, and it's extremely dangerous. Anything could happen."
