Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 122 Ye Xishui's New Plans

With a slight shift in his mind, a surge of powerful spiritual energy emanated from his body, even masking the roaring sounds of the earth-drilling soul tools behind him.

Mu En's hunched figure slowly disappeared from the spot after a moment. A short while later, Yan Shaozhe and Mu En reappeared underground. Yan Shaozhe spoke with utmost respect:

"Elder Mu, when do you suggest we begin our operation?"

Mu En waved his hand dismissively and said in a low voice, "Let me sense things clearly first. Have the elders conceal their auras. They must not act rashly without my order."

Yan Shaozhe nodded emphatically, looked at the group of men in black behind him, and made a strange gesture. The group of men behind him immediately followed Yan Shaozhe's instructions, restrained their aura as if facing a formidable enemy, and quietly waited for Mu En's next instructions.

About an hour later, Mu En's slightly trembling voice rang out:

"One level nine Soul Master and three level eight Soul Masters—timely close-quarters combat and a swift victory!"

"It seems Mingde Hall is very confident in its soul tools, as it only has this level of defense."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's somewhat arrogant words, Mu En glanced at him sideways and reprimanded him:

"None of us are sure how far Mingde Hall's soul tools have developed. Let's all stay alert and take it seriously, and not lose our lives because of arrogance."

Yan Shaozhe nodded somewhat ashamedly: "Elder Mu is right, Shaozhe knows he was wrong."

"Stop talking nonsense. We are about one kilometer away from the underground of Mingde Hall. The enemy's soul guidance device has not detected us yet, but we cannot be careless. Be prepared and we must win in one blow."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and the elders quickly dispersed their formation.

Fifteen minutes later, seeing the assembled crowd, Moon turned and waved: "Let's go!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a loud explosion, in just a moment, the guards of Mingde Hall had no time to react, and many of them were blown away.

The explosion happened so suddenly that the Soul Masters at the epicenter didn't even have time to react.

At least a hundred Soul Masters were torn apart by the terrifying explosive force at the very beginning of the explosion, with metal fragments flying everywhere, turning into the most terrifying metal frenzy.

Screams mixed with the stench of blood erupted outwards like a geyser under the terrifying shockwave.

The violent explosion shook the ground, and more than a third of the people in the huge underground soul tool manufacturing base were affected, resulting in heavy casualties.

The leading level nine soul master was shocked by this sudden turn of events and immediately shouted:

"Alarm! Enemy attack! Activate the linked defense soul tool!"

Before he finished speaking, the elders of Shrek Academy, led by Mu En, instantly emerged from the ground, and the three level-eight soul masters who were assisting in the defense instantly appeared beside him.

Without giving any orders, Moon waved his hand, and the elders, relying on their excellent combat skills, split up to fight the enemy and began an overwhelming battle.

However, the Sun and Moon faction did not sit idly by. The moment the Shrek team moved out, one after another huge soul tools emerged from the dome. These soul tools were spiral-shaped and spiraled upwards with blue and purple light.

The sharp tip began to shoot out streaks of purple light wildly, as if it had eyes, and directly blasted towards the Shrek group.

At first, the elders of Shrek Academy didn't take it seriously and tried to resist with their powerful soul energy. But they soon realized something was wrong.

These purple lights falling from the sky instantly generated terrifying electric currents upon landing on them. Although their power could block the damage caused by the current, it could not stop the terrifying paralysis.

Meanwhile, the Soul Masters who had retreated to the surrounding area launched a frenzied attack on them. Shrek Academy's elders also began to suffer casualties.

An elder at the Title Douluo level fought under more than ten beams of purple light, but was also immobilized in place by a carelessness.

If Yan Shaozhe hadn't intervened in time, this elder would probably have been seriously injured. Mu En frowned, and a powerful surge of luminous soul energy flowed out from his body.

Under the terrifying illumination of that soul power, all the soul tools on the dome were instantly destroyed. The ninth-level soul master who was in charge seemed to have realized that Mu En's strength was quite terrifying.

With an unfriendly expression, he coldly demanded, "Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in trespassing into my Mingde Hall?!"

Moon did not answer his question. Instead, he moved swiftly, increasing his speed and rushing straight toward the four of them.

The four people opposite him looked grim when they saw that Mu En was so bold. They immediately summoned their soul tools and rushed towards Mu En, who was charging towards them.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe didn't waste any more words and directly led the two elders to join Mu En in fighting the four people...

Inside a secret room in the Sun and Moon Palace.

Ye Xishui, dressed in black, stood side by side with Long Xiaoyao. Their expressions changed simultaneously, and Long Xiaoyao tentatively asked:

"Xi Shui, should I go check on Mingde Hall? Something serious might have happened there. The explosion was so loud; someone must have taken advantage of Jing Hongchen and the others' absence to attack Mingde Hall."

Ye Xishui gave him a venomous look and said in an icy tone:

"Why are you in such a hurry to go? The more they die, the more vengeful spirits my Death Tower can collect. Anyway, Jing Hongchen doesn't support Tianran, so this is a good opportunity to weaken his strength."

Looking at Ye Xishui, who treated human life like dirt, Long Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with helplessness, and he could only sigh:

"Then I'll have Xiao Wu go and take a look, is that alright?"

Ye Xishui looked at his furrowed brows, pondered for a moment, and then nodded somewhat displeased:

"You call him 'Little Wu'? Don't call him that anymore. Tell him to come back and continue to study with me how to break this mysterious talisman. If we can succeed, I won't have to go looking for that damned Kong Deming for the Death God Tower anymore."

After speaking, his eyes gleamed with a hint of greed, and he turned his head slightly. A mysterious talisman was slowly pulsating on a blue stone platform.

However, Ye Xishui, a level 99 Limit Douluo, always kept a distance of more than five meters from the mysterious talisman, her eyes filled with not only greed but also deep fear.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao turned his head and glanced sideways at the talisman, a slight fluctuation flashing in his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly spoke:

"Xi Shui, you haven't formally cultivated for three months. We both paid a considerable price to bring this mysterious talisman back. Perhaps this talisman has an extraordinary origin and is beyond our control. Maybe..."

"Shut up! Are you implying that I, Ye Xishui, cannot control something of unknown origin? Do you still consider me, Ye Xishui, someone you can casually despise and insult?!"

Seeing Ye Xishui suddenly go mad, Long Xiaoyao's lips twitched, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only explain helplessly:

"Xi Shui, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"So what do you mean? You and Mu En humiliated me so much back then, and now that you're staying by my side, you should just do your job. If you interfere with my plans again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Seeing that Ye Xishui was no longer listening to anyone, Long Xiaoyao could only nod with a wry smile:

"I'm leaving now. Don't try to break the seal on this mysterious talisman on your own. We'll talk about everything when I get back."

Ye Xishui glanced at him coldly, her expression remaining icy. Seeing that she didn't speak, Long Xiaoyao didn't linger any longer and slowly disappeared from the spot.

After Ye Xishui sensed his presence leave, a sliver of reason returned to her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said in a chilling tone:

"You'd better not let me get my hands on this mysterious talisman, or I won't let any of you go..."

Inside the royal palace of the Sun and Moon Emperor.

The old emperor suddenly sat up and, facing Kong Deming who emerged from the darkness, couldn't help but ask:

"Master Kong, judging from the noise, has something happened at Mingde Hall? Why don't you go and take a look?"

Kong Deming shook his head with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty, I can tell whether Mingde Hall is more important than you. The situation in the capital is complicated right now, and I should not leave Your Majesty's side."

"But... what about Mingde Hall? That's a crucial base for our war effort! Give the order now: have the Royal Soul Master Legion immediately rush to Mingde Hall to provide support. If they encounter the enemy, kill them all without mercy!"

Kong Deming cupped his hands in response, his figure vanished swiftly, and reappeared shortly afterward, bowing slightly to the old emperor.

"Everything has been arranged, Your Majesty. Please take care of your health."

The old emperor, enraged, slammed his fist on the dragon throne and coughed several times.

"Who on earth is this bastard who dared to take advantage of the situation? Issue a notice immediately and tell Hongchen and the others to finish the match and come back as soon as possible."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Yes."

On the other side, at the Mingdetang site.

At this time, Mingde Hall was almost a ruin. Almost all the experimental tables had been completely reduced to ashes, and all the soul tools in Mingde Hall had been completely destroyed.

With the combined efforts of Mu En, Yan Shaozhe, and two Shrek Academy elders, the level nine soul master and the three level eight soul masters were killed by the three of them without even being able to inflict any damage.

Despite the Mingde Hall's tight defenses, it was difficult to withstand the surprise attack from nearly twenty titled Douluo. Many researchers were knocked unconscious and subdued by the elders.

If Lin Dong were here, he would surely be amazed that Xuan Ziwen was among them. Although he was also an eighth-level Soul Master, he was not very useful in combat.

After one of the elders of Shrek Academy intervened, he was knocked unconscious and captured. The Shrek members quickly cleaned up the battlefield and were about to leave when...

A dark figure suddenly appeared, and in an instant, an elder of Shrek Academy who was collecting soul tools was pierced through the heart by a single palm strike.

This was the first elder of Shrek Academy to be killed. The incident happened so suddenly that even Moon, who always prided himself on his composure, was stunned for a moment.

The death of a Title Douluo is an irreparable loss even for the Sea God Pavilion, let alone the fact that this Title Douluo had only just reached this realm a year ago.

Shrek has essentially lost a promising young star; how could Moon not be furious?

A moment later, Mu En, his face filled with murderous intent, chased after Zhong Liwu, who had escaped with that attack. A torrent of golden soul power surged forth, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his body.

A resounding dragon roar echoed through the sky, his hands transformed into golden dragon claws, and a gigantic phantom of a holy dragon of light appeared behind him.

With his right foot stepping forward, Moon threw a simple, straightforward left punch, but in the eyes of the elders, this punch was anything but simple.

It was as if all the energy and spirit had instantly condensed into this fist, as if in this world, only this fist, gleaming with diamond-like luster, remained.

This incredibly powerful punch slammed into Zhongli Wu's back, instantly sending him flying dozens of meters backward. Zhongli Wu spat out a mouthful of blood and cried out:

"Limit Douluo?! Who are you people, damn it! So you're Shrek Academy bastards! I'll remember this! You just wait!"

Although he said that, he quickened his pace as he fled, knowing that if he hesitated even for a moment, he would definitely not be able to escape today.

Yan Shaozhe and the other elders, seeing Zhongli Wu fleeing into the distance, also planned to join the battle and chase after him. However, Mu En coldly shouted:

"No one is allowed to make a move. Prepare to retreat. Since the enemy has already sent reinforcements, he won't be the only one here."

Long Xiaoyao, who was just about to rush back to the secret chamber, froze on the spot upon hearing the somewhat familiar dragon roar, muttering to himself:

"No way... that voice, could it be Moon? Oh no! Little Wu is in danger."

After saying that, he turned and flew rapidly towards Mingde Hall. After being subdued by Mu En, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but whisper:

"Elder Mu, I sensed the aura of that person just now. He is the evil soul master who attacked our Shrek Academy students that day. He has committed countless evil deeds and deserves to die."

Their reinforcements haven't arrived yet. If we kill them with swift and decisive action, we can definitely save the academy a lot of trouble in the future. Why are you stopping us?

Moon frowned and said repeatedly:

"There's no time to explain. I just sensed a large force heading this way. If we forcefully pursue him and he manages to hold us off, the academy will suffer significant losses. Let's go, stop wasting time."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes!"

The elders of Shrek Academy reacted quickly, leaping into the cave they had arrived in earlier, and with a large amount of supplies and researchers, retreated towards the outskirts of the city.

Less than three minutes after they left, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Legion rushed over. Seeing the seriously injured Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Soul Master Legion, Xu Tianyuan, was greatly shocked.

Knowing that Zhongli Wu was incredibly strong, he knew he had no chance against him, yet he had been beaten so badly. He was immediately shocked and said:

"Imperial Preceptor, what happened?! Why are you in such a state?"

Zhongli Wu coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood, then lay weakly in Xu Tianyuan's arms, saying:

"Shrek Academy attacked Mingde Hall, capturing a large number of Mingde Hall researchers and completely destroying almost all of their soul tools..."

"Cough... They're with a large group of people. We need to hurry and chase after them. We should still be able to catch up. We can't let them get away like this..."

"No need. With Mu En here, they'll just be throwing their lives away. The most important thing right now is for me to take you to get treatment."

Long Xiaoyao's voice rang out softly. Zhong Liwu glanced at him with a complicated expression. He didn't know how to get along with this person who was like a stepfather...

Long Xiaoyao looked at Xu Tianyuan and said softly, "First, send someone to inform the garrison in the Mingdou Mountains to see if they can intercept them. If not, don't force it."

Shrek Academy's large-scale deployment must be well-prepared; we must avoid further casualties. This matter should be left to His Majesty's decision.

Upon hearing Long Xiaoyao speak, Xu Tianyuan could only nod, hand the Zhongliwu to him, and hurriedly leave.

Long Xiaoyao and his companion walked silently all the way to the palace…
