Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 56 Familiar Faces, New Acquaintances

"You don't want to join the Tang Sect, but rather the Body Sect?"

It's not surprising that Mu En had such a conjecture. In his correspondence with Elder Song, he had already learned that Bei Bei had made a huge contribution to the Body Sect, enough to make her the young sect master in one step.

To his slight surprise, Beibei gave a negative answer.

Meanwhile, Beibei's CPU was running at high speed, pondering the reasons for refusing to join the Tang Sect.

Over there, Moon spoke again.

"If you really don't want to join the Tang Clan right now, let's put this matter on hold for the time being."

Beibei: "!!!"

"What, are you surprised?"

"Does the Sea God Pavilion Master, who is usually so decisive, seem to have compromised a little too quickly?"

"He's a bit of a fence-sitter, swaying between the two sides."

"Ancestor Xuan... what you've done, should I say yes or no?"

A kind smile appeared on Moon's wrinkled face.

"I watched you grow up. Although I can't guess what you're thinking, I know your personality very well."

"Furthermore, you are the only descendant of my lineage. Have you ever seen how our ancestor forced you into anything?"

"Xuanzu will only be your strong support, not an obstacle on your path forward."

"Whether or not to join the Tang Clan will be put on hold for now, but we still need to save Tang Ya."

"There is still a bond between us and them, and it would be really inexcusable not to save their last survivors."

Beibei did not refuse, as he also had a deal to make with Tang Ya.

It shouldn't have been this fast, but since I was already there, it was just a matter of convenience.

After the discussion was over, Beibei stayed at the Golden Ancient Tree to cultivate, waiting to depart for Tiandou City the next day.

This was destined to be a sleepless night. The seven regular team members, led by Zhang Lexuan, and the seven reserve team members, led by Ma Xiaotao, each had their own excitement and emotions.

For example, Zhang Lexuan, who lives alone in her empty room.

She was happy that Beibei had held back, but she didn't like that Beibei hadn't come.

...the next day.

Led by Du Weilun, the team, which included the regular players, reserve players, and Beibei, totaling sixteen people, set off in a grand procession.

Meanwhile, Mu En will remain in the shadows to protect them, and will not interfere in the lives of the participating team members.

After all, having such a powerful figure around would only increase the pressure on the team members and make them feel more constrained.

In the group, Beibei saw several team members following behind Zhang Lexuan.

Later, there was Wu Ming, known as the "Golden Crow Saintess"; Han Ruoruo, the team's top control soul master; and Chu Qingtian, whose agility-based martial soul was the Electric Leopard...

A lineup of one Soul Saint, two Soul Emperors, and four Soul Kings—such a formidable team hasn't been seen in a long time.

Beside Zhang Lexuan, Beibei looked at her delicate face, still gentle and intellectual, but with a light layer of makeup covering up... her panda eyes.

After several days, the group arrived at Tiandou City, the former capital of the Tiandou Empire, now the Tianhun Empire.

As the organizers, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire naturally sent members of their royal families to welcome the delegations from advanced academies in various countries.

As the Shrek Academy team, which won first place in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, they were naturally invited to the Royal Hotel, which has the best accommodation environment.

The first day is a rest day; the Soul Fighting Tournament officially begins tomorrow.

Unlike the others who were either resting, conserving their energy, or strolling around the bustling Tiandou City, Bei Bei was assigned a task by Elder Mu.

Furthermore, he requested a few days of free time from Xuanzu.

She received reassuring words: "Beibei, go ahead without worry. Tiandou City is within a hundred miles; there's no need to worry about your safety."

The city's prosperity didn't tempt him at all; he swiftly moved towards his predetermined goal.

As time went by, the surrounding prosperity faded away, and the low-rise buildings resembled slums, a stark contrast to the bustling city.

It's hard to imagine that two different landscapes could coexist in the same capital city.

Meanwhile, inside a secluded but dilapidated ironwood house.

Tang Ya paced back and forth anxiously, her almost perfect oval face filled with sorrow and desolation.

A beauty mark remains in the corner of her almond-shaped eyes.

The Tang Clan's territory has been seized for several days now.

Limited by her strength, she had no choice but to bury her hatred deep in her heart, hiding in the shadows to evade the Iron Blood Sect's pursuit.

Tang Clan's former friends and connections all avoided her like the plague, and some even took advantage of her misfortune.

Fortunately, she was able to contact the people at Shrek Academy through a keepsake left by her parents.

They are still willing to retain the Tang Clan's admission quota without examination, and will even send people to help her escape the Iron Blood Sect's pursuit.

The thought of the Iron Blood Sect slaughtering Tang Sect disciples made her grit her teeth: "Dad, Mom, don't worry."

"After I complete my studies at Shrek Academy and return, I will definitely..."

suddenly!

"Knock knock knock!" The knocking sounded on the door.

Tang Ya's alarm bells rang immediately. She loosened her tightly clenched sleeves, revealing several flying blades and hidden weapons, and silently walked towards the door.

He secretly wondered: Had the Iron Blood Sect tracked them down here? Or...?

Just then, a voice rang out from outside: "Put away your hidden weapons, I mean you no harm."

"I am Beibei, a student from Shrek Academy, here to fulfill your request."

After hesitating for a moment, she put away the throwing blade, but from another sleeve, a "hidden weapon" dagger slid out.

The events of the past few days have made this naive young girl much more cautious.

Beibei: "..."

He has tried his best to make his voice sound harmless.

He was practically raising his hands above his head to show he wasn't a bad person.

Knowing that the stalemate couldn't last long, Tang Ya finally opened the door.

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Tang Ya's worries dissipated; the refined young man was not a member of the Iron Blood Sect.

But soon, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed again.

Why would Shrek Academy send such young trainees?

The Iron Blood Sect's encirclement and pursuit were aimed at eliminating any potential threat at all!

Their sect leader is a powerful expert at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor. If he breaks through the encirclement, can the refined young man in front of him... do he manage it?

Without even entering the house, looking at the familiar faces of the new acquaintances, Beibei asked directly:

"Is it convenient to move around now? Are there any things you haven't taken care of? Do you need time to pack your bags?"

Hearing his question, Tang Ya sadly shook her head.

"The sect is gone, my parents are gone, there's nothing left to pack up."

Knowing that comforting someone with such deep-seated hatred would be useless, Beibei could only make a "please" gesture.

Tang Ya acted swiftly, immediately following Bei Bei out.

But as soon as she stepped out, she heard a familiar voice in her ear, which made her eyes turn red and her anger surge.

The owner of the voice was none other than Tie Tang, the young sect leader of the Iron Blood Sect, the executioner who slaughtered the Tang Sect disciples.

"You can't leave!"
