Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Dragon King? No, the Legend of the Six Kings!

Shrek Academy's top brass had finally managed to suppress the mess Lin Fan had left them, and were just about to figure out how to pressure the Sun Moon Empire for an explanation when...

A message was sent to the conference table of the Sea God Pavilion. When Moon saw the message, he seemed not to have seen it clearly. He read it again and fell into a long silence.

Seeing Elder Mu's silence, Elder Song couldn't help but ask, "Elder Mu, what's wrong? What's making you so quiet?"

Mu En was pulled back to his senses by Elder Song's voice. He placed the envelope on the table and slowly said, "The Body Sect has no intention of going into seclusion. They even plan to develop a chamber of commerce. This is a message sent back by the Treasure Pavilion."

"What?!"

All the elders present were astonished. Xuanzi, the beggar who was gnawing on a large chicken leg, immediately spoke up, his tone laced with schadenfreude: "Did that old bastard get kicked in the head by a soul beast? He's actually running a merchant guild, and he's given up his old skills?"

Mu En ignored Xuanzi's words. If it was about developing a chamber of commerce, he didn't need to worry about anything. With the burly and rough-looking members of the Body Sect, how could they possibly run a chamber of commerce well? But the last few lines of text made his heart pound.

"Guess what the Body Sect Development Association is planning to do?"

"Old Mu, you don't need to worry too much. Those brainless bastards are nothing special. They'll just go back to their old ways in the end." Xuanzi said directly when he heard Mu En's question.

Hearing Xuanzi's words, Mu En's indifferent gaze fell on Xuanzi. He really wanted to say, "Do you think you have a brain?" but he held back and scolded, "A chicken leg can't shut you up, do you want a slap?"

Xuanzi immediately became obedient. He wanted to continue speaking, but when Elder Mu spoke, he swallowed back the words that were stuck in his throat. In the entire Shrek Academy, only Elder Mu could keep him in check.

Seeing that the group of elders were speechless, Mu En didn't bother to keep them in suspense and said, "Their merchant guild wants to develop soul tools."

Upon hearing this, the entire Sea God Pavilion fell silent for a few seconds, and then the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Yan Shaozhe stood up confidently.

"Teacher, this is not a good thing. They are simply courting their own destruction. Soul tools, such unorthodox methods, will eventually be eliminated. Martial Souls and Soul Masters are the mainstream."

"I agree with what Xiaoyan said."

Xuanzi immediately agreed. He had wondered what was causing Elder Mu's silence, but it turned out to be the soul tool.

No matter how much soul tools develop, they won't cause any real trouble. In the end, Shrek Academy will just crush them with a single blow, just like in the war a thousand years ago.

The other elders nodded in agreement. They also looked down on soul tools, believing that no matter how much they developed, they would eventually decline, just like the hidden weapons of the Tang Clan.

Looking at this group of people, Mu En's cloudy eyes were filled with disappointment. He knew all too well the terrifying nature of soul tools, especially that old flame, whose possession was enough to threaten all the titled Douluos present, including himself.

Moreover, it's unimaginable how many soul tools the Sun Moon Empire has hidden.

Although the envelope stated that the Body Sect was auctioning off soul tools discarded by the Sun Moon Empire, the bandits' old ways couldn't support the development of a merchant guild.

There is only one answer: the Body Sect is very likely to cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire.

But no matter how I think about it, it shouldn't be like this. Mu En knows Du Busi well. This guy, like Xuan Zi, looks down on soul tools. At most, he uses them to make money. He would never think about anything deeper.

The meeting ended in this way.

Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, a sacred place exclusively for grilled fish, beside Poseidon Lake.

Huo Yuhao looked at his senior brother Bei Bei, who seemed inexplicably unwell, and asked, "Senior brother Bei Bei, what's wrong?"

Beibei rubbed her temples, shook her head, and replied, "I'm fine. I just feel like something's missing, but when I try to sense it, I can't find anything wrong."

"Let's have grilled fish then, senior brother."

"Okay, thank you, junior brother."

Beibei took the grilled fish. If he went back now and let Xuanzu seriously sense it, there would definitely be a surprise, oh no, a shock. The Holy Light Dragon bloodline had completely stagnated.

……

In the Douluo Continent timeline, beside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Lin Nuo and Qian Renxue stand side by side.

Lin Nuo happened to have some free time, so he came to check on the situation. As for why Qian Renxue was here, that's a long story.

A few days ago, Qian Renxue returned to the Spirit Hall, something Pope Bibi Dong hadn't even expected. Looking at her returning daughter, she asked with a mixture of curiosity and displeasure, "Why are you here?"

"Naturally, I don't intend to continue wasting my youth and talent on so-called undercover work."

Faced with Bibi Dong's questioning, Qian Renxue honestly said that she had wasted her time and youth in the past. Her father was wrong, but the woman in front of her was not.

Bibi Dong was stunned by Qian Renxue's answer. She did not expect Qian Renxue to be so bold as to speak to her like that, and what was going on with that tone?

"Insolence!" She reacted quickly, her aura exploding instantly as she locked onto Qian Renxue. "I don't know what's wrong with you, but get back to your undercover position now!"

"On what grounds?"

"Because I am the Pope!"

"My grandfather was a high-ranking official!"

Qian Renxue retorted, her aura no less powerful than Bibi Dong's.

Bibi Dong remained silent. This was the first time she had faced Qian Renxue like this. There was no fear or apprehension, nor the expectation she usually had. All that remained was the playful look in Qian Renxue's eyes, a look that reminded her of unpleasant memories.

"Qian Renxue, do you want to die?!"

A powerful killing intent seemed poised to crush Qian Renxue, but fortunately, Qian Daoliu appeared in time to block her path: "Bibi Dong, what's wrong with you?"

"Qian Daoliu, look at the good granddaughter you raised, abandoning the mission and coming back directly." Bibi Dong's eyes were like those of a man-eating beast as she stared intently at Qian Renxue.

Qian Daoliu turned to look at Qian Renxue and asked in confusion, "Xue'er, why are you back?"

"I've come to take back everything that belongs to me; that position can only be occupied by my thousand family members."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was stunned. Is this still my granddaughter?

"Qian Daoliu, you really are two-faced." Bibi Dong's killing intent was palpable, as if she was about to kill Qian Renxue at any moment.

Qian Daoliu felt a headache coming on and hurriedly said, "Xue'er, our Spirit Hall owes the Pope..."

The Spirit Hall does owe Bibi Dong something, which is why Qian Daoliu chose to compromise. But he didn't expect Xue'er to be so sharp today. Who did she learn that from?

"Then she'll have to suffer." Qian Renxue interrupted her grandfather, raising her head to meet Bibi Dong's murderous gaze. "I've endured it for over a decade. If she can't get over it herself, then she should just die and stop causing trouble in my Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong: "!!!"

Qian Daoliu: "???"

Oh no, it feels like Xue'er knows everything.

Which bastard told her that?!
