Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 282 Too Early to Be Happy

"What happened?"

Just then, Xuanzi suddenly appeared beside him.

When he discovered that Mingdu had been bombed, his heart sank. He had assumed that Zhang Lexuan and the others were all dead.

To their surprise, Zhang Lexuan and the others only suffered some injuries and no one died, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan and the others were ready, Deng Mu said, "I don't know, there was a sudden explosion, we'd better leave quickly."

Although he didn't know what caused the explosion, his intuition told him that if he didn't leave in advance, something bad would happen.

To avoid trouble, it's best to leave first.

Xuanzi nodded in agreement. Mingdu is now a place of trouble, and they should leave as soon as possible.

Xuanzi picked up the unconscious Zhang Lexuan and said, "Come with me."

The others, having recovered, nodded to indicate that they understood.

Everyone followed Xuanzi and quickly ran towards the outskirts of Mingdu.

Just then, a group of figures gathered in the air.

A burst of wild laughter followed. Zhongli Wu had somehow reached the sky, and the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, carrying their unique sinister aura, all rose into the air.

Zhongli Wu, looking at Mingdu's miserable state, exclaimed, "What immense resentment and soul power! Hahahaha!"

He really wanted to hug the culprit and kiss him a few times, but if it was a man, he wouldn't.

But his joy didn't last long. Zhongli Wu's expression changed drastically as he discovered that the resentment was being purified.

Soft white rays of light rose from the ruins of Mingdu, and wherever the light passed, the intense resentment dissipated as quickly as ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

The negative atmosphere of pain, fear, and despair caused by the explosion gradually faded away under the purification of this light.

"What's going on? Who's ruining my plans!" Zhongli Wu roared angrily, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.

He originally intended to take advantage of the devastation and rampant resentment following the Mingdu explosion to collect these powerful resentments and soul forces in order to enhance his own strength and that of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters.

Unexpectedly, someone was secretly purifying these powers that were so vital to them.

"Master, what should we do?" a demonic spirit master asked cautiously, his eyes filled with panic.

Zhongli Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Find him! Find out who's behind this! Anyone who dares to ruin my Holy Spirit Cult's plans will suffer a fate worse than death!"

Upon receiving the order, the evil spirit masters immediately dispersed and searched the skies above Mingdu.

Meanwhile, Deng Mu and his group sped up their escape from Mingdu after Zhong Liwu and his group suddenly appeared, heading quickly towards Shrek Academy.

Before leaving, Deng Mu casually purified the resentment and souls in Mingdu.

He was well aware of Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult's existence; how could he possibly give his soul and resentment to Zhongli Wu and his group?

However, he discovered something: some of the resentment suddenly disappeared before he could purify it, as if it had never existed at all, which puzzled Deng Mu.

"Um?"

When Deng Mu followed Xuanzi and the others into the mountains, he sensed the presence of several members of the Evil God Cult.

These auras didn't belong to Long Aotian and his group, which made Deng Mu wonder if it was them who did it.

Thinking of this possibility, Deng Mu looked at Xuanzi and said, "Elder Xuan, I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave first."

Xuanzi looked at Deng Mu, thought for a moment, and said, "Be careful, and get back to the academy as soon as possible."

Huo Yutong, who was standing next to Deng Mu, said, "Brother Mu, I'll go with you."

Given the current situation, she was somewhat worried about Deng Mu's safety and wanted to go with him.

Although she knew Deng Mu's strength, she wanted to go with him.

Wang Dong'er and the others said they wanted to go too, to help Deng Mu.

In their view, the current situation is very bad, and there is a high possibility of danger.

Deng Mu shook his head and refused, saying, "No need, I can handle it by myself. Don't follow me."

Seeing this, the others wanted to say something, but seeing Deng Mu's resolute attitude, they gave up and decided not to follow him.

Seeing that Huo Yutong and the others were not following, Deng Mu broke away from the group and stealthily headed towards the direction of those few auras of the Evil Soul Cult.

……

"Emmm, boss, did we do a good job?" One of his men looked at the situation in Mingdu and couldn't help but ask Ying Sha beside him.

He truly hadn't expected that simply detonating the warehouse would turn Mingdu into such a horrific mess.

We don't know how many people died or how much damage was caused, but luckily these people ran fast, otherwise they would have been killed in the explosion.

Shadow Fiend's face was so dark it could drip water. He raised his hand and slapped his subordinate hard, cursing, "Meritorious service? Meritorious service my ass! This matter has blown up so much, none of the various forces will let it go easily, and we're barely able to protect ourselves now!"

If the cult leader had completed his plan and the Mingdu bombing had happened, these people would have been rewarded. But the cult leader didn't allow them to do that at all; if they had bombed Mingdu, it would have been a real problem.

Although everyone is now condemning evil gods and killing them on sight, it hasn't reached the point of complete eradication.

If this gets out, the Sun Moon Empire will fight the Evil God Cult to the death.

The subordinate's cheeks were swollen and red from the beating, but he didn't dare to utter a sound, keeping his head down and shrinking to the side.

Shadow Demon took a deep breath, suppressing his panic, and said, "Don't just stand there, quickly find a place to hide. Whatever you do, don't let anyone find out. This matter absolutely cannot be known by anyone else, or we're doomed."

Just as everyone was preparing to slip away quietly, Deng Mu had already approached silently like a ghost.

He used the surrounding trees and rocks as cover, his steps as light as the wind in the forest, his eyes fixed on Shadow Sha and the others.

Just as Deng Mu was about to launch a surprise attack, Shadow Fiend seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.

However, Deng Mu was well hidden, and Ying Sha did not find his trace, but the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger.

"Everyone be careful, I feel like someone is watching us," Shadow Sha warned his men in a low voice.

Everyone immediately became alert, their eyes darting around nervously.

Deng Mu seized the opportunity and rushed out like a black lightning bolt, kicking his nearest subordinate hard.

This kick contained immense force; the subordinate was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a large tree. The tree trunk snapped in two, and the man instantly fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Mu turned around and slammed his right fist, which was wrapped in a strong wind, into another subordinate who was trying to escape.

The punch struck the opponent directly in the chest. The powerful impact caused the man's chest to cave in, and he flew backward several meters, spitting out blood and dying on the spot.
