Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 68 The Ye Family with Bandits in Their Home

Aside from Ye Ying, Zhang Lexuan, and Wu Ming, the others were also taken to Seagod Island by the Shrek Academy's regular team members.

When they saw the nearly 300-meter-tall golden ancient tree in the center of Poseidon Island, the rest of the reserve team, except for Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, looked at each other with some strange expressions.

While the towering and unique golden tree was certainly awe-inspiring and breathtaking, their gazes toward it went far beyond that.

That feeling gave Ye Ying a chill down his spine, reminding him of the pilgrimage-like behavior of some members of irregular churches he had encountered in his previous life.

Unaffected as well, the perceptive Zhang Lexuan felt a chill and looked at Ye Ying beside her.

The two looked at each other and smiled. They gently tightened their grip on each other's hands, as if afraid of being abandoned by the other.

All of this happened in a short time. Wu Ming exclaimed excitedly, "It's huge! I wonder how this tree grew so big."

"Hehe, the Golden Tree has been like this for ten thousand years. Its arrival at Seagod Island is thanks to Tang San's ancestor."

.

Old Song wore a gentle smile, but his eyes changed noticeably when Tang San was mentioned, just like the fanatical believers from the unorthodox churches Ye Ying had encountered in her previous life.

After exchanging a few words with the regular team members, Elder Song approached the reserve team and said in a deep voice, "It cannot be denied that from the moment you became reserve disciples, you have already stepped into the inner academy with one foot in your mouth. But precisely because of this, I must confirm whether you are willing to shoulder the responsibilities that belong to the inner academy before I truly lead you out of the academy."

If you don't wish to, you can return to the academy now; no one will blame you. You will still be able to study and graduate smoothly at the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

Furthermore, I want to tell you that the inner academy doesn't actually teach much more than the outer academy. The reason why inner academy disciples are so powerful is precisely because of that sense of responsibility.

If you choose to go back, you must swear an oath to keep it a secret, just like those students who chose to leave after graduating from the Foreign Languages ​​Department. Can you keep that promise?

Apart from Ye Ying, everyone else sensed that the secret Old Song was about to reveal was quite extraordinary.

Apart from Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, the eyes of everyone else had somehow become burning with fervor, and they all said in unison, "Yes!"

Old Master Song naturally noticed it as well, but he didn't care. After all, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan were able to enter only as a result of the power struggle between the Ye family and Shrek Academy.

She wasn't originally a member of Shrek Academy, so she couldn't be bothered with it.

In front of the two, Elder Song did not hold back at all, and directly stated that they wanted to confront the Sun Moon Empire and meddle in other people's business by attacking the evil soul masters who posed a significant threat to the safety of the Douluo Continent.

It's understandable to criticize the Sun Moon Empire, since the Sun Moon Empire is indeed incompatible with the Douluo Continent.

It's hard to believe that over four thousand years, the interaction between the two continents was quite limited.

Aside from soul tools, whether it's culture or writing, both sides have an attitude of "what's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine."

This situation is hard to explain, and considering that the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy fought each other to the death back then, there's not much to say about it.

They can capture evil spirit masters, but Douluo Three Kingdoms didn't care. They're just meddling in other people's business.

It's just that they're happy to do it, and Ye Ying can't stop them.

After a passionate speech, Ning Yu, Xu Xiangzhou, Xu Le, Chen Jiuying, and Wu Ming all shouted their oaths.

Following that, apart from Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, the other five people received a rather beautiful ring.

It is made of silvery-white metal, with a small, emerald-green gemstone set in it.

However, the carving on the ring face lowered the ring's quality and ruined the overall aesthetic.

A group of bandits located on the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire were also unlucky enough to be used by Shrek Academy as practice targets for newcomers, although those bandits were not good people either.

To increase travel speed, Master Song also had experienced students guide new students.

Before they could even set off, a powerful aura suddenly appeared. The person who came was none other than Ye Ying's third grandfather, Ye Zhenfeng.

Ye Ying also asked the system in a bit of a hurry, but was told by the system that the faith pollution of Seagod Island could only affect those below the Soul Saint level.

Once you reach the Soul Saint level, the effect is greatly reduced, while Title Douluo are completely unaffected.

Ye Zhenfeng came here only to protect Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan.

Human nature is biased, and Ye Zhenfeng was also worried that Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan would be abandoned when they encountered danger.

Although both are Super Douluo, Elder Song not only has a higher soul power than Ye Zhenfeng, but is also more than thirty years older than Ye Zhenfeng.

The two were roughly of the same generation, and since they weren't familiar with each other, a nod was already quite polite.

Soon, under the protection of two Super Douluo, Zhang Lexuan, along with Ye Ying and the others, left Seagod Island and headed towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.

In less than half a day, the group had arrived at the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Elder Song then began announcing the mission, "According to reliable sources, there is a band of bandits in the Longyue Mountains. They are guarding the trade route between the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, and also—"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan were stunned, as were Xu Le and others who were usually on good terms with Ye Ying.

The Longyue Mountains have always been the territory of the Ye family. As a member of the Xuanming Clan who had been bullied by the Ye family, Xu Le had a lot of say about the strength of the Ye family.

"Wait a minute, Elder Song, are you sure this is the Longyue Mountains? Isn't that the Ye family's territory?"

The regular team members, who were also confused, felt a sudden sense of fear. Could it be that the academy had sent them to cause trouble?

The others were fine, but Dai Tianyong looked eager to try, and said arrogantly, "So what if it's the Ye family? Dare to—"

The sudden pressure pressed Dai Tianyong to the ground. Ye Zhenfeng slowly stepped over Dai Tianyong. "Old Song is right. The eighth and ninth peaks of the Longyue Mountains are too far apart and have been neglected, which is why some weeds have grown. Moreover, this operation was commissioned by my Ye family."

Xu Le, a direct descendant of the Xuanming Sect, was at a loss for words. He approached Ye Ying with a pained expression and said, "Brother, your house has been broken into, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Ye Ying rolled her eyes and said somewhat dejectedly, "Heh, I bet this was only discovered a few days ago, you believe me?"

He was quite puzzled; he really didn't know when the eighth and ninth peaks to the west of his house had been occupied by bandits.

Xu Le just smiled and didn't say anything, after all, Ye Ying was on the same level as him.

However, before heading out to suppress the bandits, the Shrek Academy members had to make a special trip to the third peak of the Longyue Mountains to pay a visit.
