Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 289 Lao Mu Ends His Sinful Life

(Song Lao's shining moment)

Faced with the cold, hostile gazes of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En felt utterly hopeless.

He truly never imagined that his more than a century of protection would be no match for a few dubious books, and that the reputation he had built up over most of his life would be so easily defeated in the eyes of these people.

"You really don't trust me?" Even with a cold heart, Moon still asked this question, this question that had puzzled him for so long.

As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, does he really have no one who supports or believes in him?

By the time Moon asked that question, Old Song had already gathered his strength...

"Ha!" Old Song sneered, slamming his hand on the table. "Shut up! You shameless old thief, don't you know that everyone in the world would love to devour your flesh? How dare you spout nonsense here!"

No... shameless old thief?!

Mu En's face turned pale and then red, his blood surging and his anger soaring. As a Limit Douluo, when had he ever been insulted like this?!

"Song Yunzhi, how dare you!" Mu En glared at Old Song, no longer calling her "Little Song" but calling her by her full name.

"What wouldn't I dare?" Old Song said with a sneer, standing up to face the crowd. "I have something to say, please listen carefully!"

The other members of the Sea God Pavilion, who had already been drawn into Song Lao's camp, were very respectful and quietly watched Song Lao, waiting for her to continue. Cai Meier wanted to say something, but under Song Lao's extremely oppressive and sharp gaze, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

"Today, fortunately, fate has not abandoned Shrek Academy, allowing it to continue its ten thousand years of glory. Over these ten thousand years, hundreds of generations of Shrek ancestors have devoted their lives to Shrek, which is why we have the glory we have today." Old Song's expression was solemn, and his tone was firm and powerful.

Many members of the Sea God Pavilion nodded in agreement. Otherwise, they would not have stood by Shrek Academy and defended its glorious honor.

After finishing his opening remarks, Old Song changed his tone, his words becoming much sharper and fiercer: "Our Shrek family has been following the orders of our ancestor Tang San for generations, and has been ordered to fight against evil spirit masters. We have been sworn enemies with evil spirit masters for generations, taking it as our duty to eliminate them and our goal to protect the peace of Douluo Continent."

"But now!" Elder Song's voice suddenly rose, filled with intense anger, "Our current Sea God Pavilion Master has actually disregarded the decrees of our ancestors, disregarded the billions of lives on the Douluo Continent, and willingly fallen to the level of associating with evil soul masters, treating the spirit and glory of Shrek Academy as nothing!"

"Since you, Ru Mu'en, are a treacherous lackey of evil spirit masters, only fit to cower in the stinking ditch, never seeing the light of day, how dare you presume to rule over Shrek Academy?!"

Old Song spoke passionately, waving his sleeves as he turned his back to the crowd, his gaze fixed on Mu En with undisguised contempt and sarcasm on his face.

Elder Song's speech also successfully ignited the passion of the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion. If the occasion had been different, they would have applauded and cheered.

On the other hand, Moon's anger was stuck in his throat, and his face turned as red as a duck's. There was also a faint narration in the air.

Warning, warning!

Red temperature warning!

"You...you!!!" Mu En almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He clutched his chest with one hand to catch his breath, while the other hand trembled as he pointed at Old Song, his eyes filled with hatred as if he wanted to kill her on the spot.

But he really couldn't refute what Old Song said.

If he truly had never had any dealings with evil spirit masters, that would be one thing; Mu En had countless ways to clear his name. But unfortunately, he wasn't clean to begin with, and he could only swallow the bitter pill Lin Yun had thrown at him.

Suddenly, in this scene, being publicly executed by Elder Song in front of everyone, Mu En was so angry that he almost died of rage.

Where would they find the energy to organize a verbal rebuttal?

Moreover, this was a powerful move that Elder Song had been preparing for a long time!

"Shut up!" Old Song slammed his hand on the table again, shouting, "You white-haired scoundrel, you old thief with a gray beard! You are about to die, and then I'll see how you, Mu En, will face the hundreds of generations of Shrek's ancestors, and how you will face the old Pavilion Master whose soul has already returned to the embrace of the Sea God!"

"You...you!!!!" Moon was breathing rapidly, and anyone could see that he had reached his limit.

"Shameless scoundrel! You have lived for over two hundred years in vain, achieving nothing of merit. All you do is betray and aid evil. You are a spineless dog, yet you dare to bark and howl in the Sea God Pavilion, wagging your tongue in front of us, the truly righteous and noble people!"

"I, Song Yunzhi, have never seen anything like this before!"

"Shameless person!!!"

Indiscriminate slaughter!

The scene was completely silent, except for the increasingly rapid breathing of Moon, which sounded like a bellows being pulled.

All the members of the Sea God Pavilion stared in disbelief at Elder Song's frenzied attacks. At this moment, Elder Song was undoubtedly the MVP of the Sea God Pavilion. His smooth combo left even the Limit Douluo Mu En seeing stars and unable to distinguish between things.

Lin Huiqun, in particular, looked at Old Song with the same reverence one would show to a towering mountain.

Old Master Song, forever a god!

No wonder she is the big sister of the Sea God Pavilion. No wonder Elder Song can become the leader of the Sea God Pavilion, while I, Lin Huiqun, can only be a boss lady. With such demeanor, even if I am buried to the neck, I still want to use the rest of my life to learn!

She, Song Yunzhi, accomplished with ease what I, Lin Huiqun, could not do. It is truly inspiring and admirable!

The other members of the Sea God Pavilion also looked at Elder Song with admiration and respect, making Elder Song shine brightly as if he were standing under a spotlight!

Even Cai Meier, who should have stood firmly by Mu En's side, was ashamed and lowered her head after hearing what Old Song said. Although Old Song had been scolding Mu En from beginning to end and had nothing to do with Cai Meier, what could she do when her husband was Yan Shaozhe?

It is said that a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, like a man following a fish or a dog. But now, her husband and his master have been proven to have an inseparable relationship with evil spirit masters. Even if she knows she is innocent, she knows nothing about Yan Shaozhe and Mu En.

But who would believe that? Who can guarantee that Cai Meier won't be punished?

Green garlic, it has to be green garlic!

If you don't want to be a green garlic yourself, you'll have to be a green garlic for others!

Although the ancients said: "If you marry a Kun, follow the Kun; if you marry a Gou, follow the Gou."

As the ancients said: "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!"

Shao Zhe! Red bean paste, private Marseille!

Well, I've already apologized. So, if I were to stab you in the back to save my own life and status, you wouldn't blame me, would you? We've been husband and wife for almost a hundred years, you'll understand!

Right?!

Thinking of this, Cai Meier, who had been bowing her head in shame, suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Old Song with admiration.

"That's right, Mr. Song, we support you!"

Who would have thought that Cai Meier, who should have firmly supported Mu En, would be the first to publicly support Song Lao, thus stabbing Mu En in the back.

Old Song turned her head and looked at Cai Meier, who looked like a little fangirl. She nodded in satisfaction. Originally, she did intend to teach Cai Meier a lesson after she had dealt with Mu En, but since her little sister was so sensible, she, Song Yunzhi, was not a petty person.

I'm letting you go!

She's such a good friend!

"Ugh... Ah!!!"

puff! ! !

Mu En coughed up a mouthful of blood, his life force rapidly fading. His dim, yellowed old eyes were filled with confusion, resentment, and barely concealed anger. "Heh...heh..." Mu En's gaze swept over the members of the Sea God Pavilion, letting out a self-deprecating and bitter laugh, before finally fixing his gaze on Cai Meier.

The little girl he had watched grow up was now looking at him with the same disdain and contempt as the other members of the Sea God Pavilion, her face practically screaming, "I'm ashamed to be associated with you."

"I should have understood long ago..." Moon's eyes closed slightly, the dense death aura making the light in his eyes dimmer and dimmer until it finally disappeared completely.

Immediately afterwards, Mu En's frail, aged body, leaning weakly against the recliner, gradually emitted a bright, warm rain of light, which finally transformed into countless starlight and dissipated into the air. On the recliner, only an empty hempen robe remained, and the once all-powerful dragon god Mu En was nowhere to be seen again.

A generation of Limit Douluo thus met a frustrating end.

He had been away for more than a month, and his old injuries had long since become uncontrollable. If it weren't for his concern for Shrek Academy, the first thing he would have done upon returning to the Sea God Pavilion would have been to use the power of the Golden Tree to suppress his injuries and allow his crippled body to hold on for a while longer.

But Old Song's offensive was so intense that it caused him to lose his composure and, to put it simply, his defenses were breached.

Cai Meier's words and attitude were the last straw that broke Mu En's back. He never expected that Cai Meier, whom he had watched grow up and who could almost be considered half a disciple, would betray him on such a matter.

The one who should have trusted Moon the most was Cai Meier!

But she dealt Mu En a heavy blow, causing him to completely lose the will to live. The injuries in his body and the malevolent energy of the dragon core that was entangled in his soul erupted at the same time, and this Limit Douluo ascended to immortality in this way.

Well... it's hard to say whether he ascended or not, but he definitely became a phoenix. Apart from the mouthful of blood he just spat out, which still radiates a dazzling crimson color on the table of the Sea God Pavilion, he left no other traces.

What Mr. Song said is actually not wrong.

If Mu En hadn't made a mistake back then, stopping his master from killing Ye Xishui because of his old feelings, which led to Zhongli Laogui attacking Shrek Academy and ultimately causing his master to die from his injuries, his master would never have died so young.

If Ye Xishui had truly been killed, the Holy Spirit Cult would never have two terrifying enemies at the Limit Douluo level.

He, Mu En, will not be tainted by this, which would give those in the shadows an opportunity to launch a massive attack on Shrek Academy, ruining its reputation and making it universally hated on the Douluo Continent, like a stray dog ​​walking on the street, reeking of stench.

Ultimately... what Old Song attacked was not wrong.

All of this was caused by him, Moon.

Furthermore, Song Lao's words, "How can you, Mu En, face the hundreds of generations of Shrek's ancestors?" made Mu En even lose the will to attach his soul to the Golden Tree and protect Shrek Academy for a while longer.

And the same.

Behind Moon's words, "I should have understood long ago," there was something else he didn't say.

"I shouldn't have had any expectations of you."

Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion and the Dragon God Douluo.

Fallen.

……

Perhaps even Moon himself never imagined that his glorious life would end in this way as he approached death. Instead of being remembered in history, he was infamous for all time, burdened with countless curses, and even labeled as a loyal dog of evil spirit masters.

But no matter what, Moon was already dead. Even though he still had a way to prolong his life, he didn't do it. Instead, he let his injuries flare up and then perished with resentment and confusion.

He didn't attack Elder Song, otherwise even though he was on the verge of death, he could have killed Elder Song with a single blow. Don't underestimate a Limit Douluo, even one who is on the verge of death.

The characters Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui in the original novel are the best proof. It would have been too easy for Mu En to kill Old Song before he died.

But he didn't.

Mu En still remembered Shrek Academy's kindness. Shrek Academy nurtured him, which led to Mu En becoming the renowned Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo. He could have slapped Old Song to death to vent his anger, but what would happen afterward?

Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi were already incapable of taking on important responsibilities, and now they're even working as sewing machines at the bottom of the Golden Tree.

Elder Song is currently the most prestigious person in the Sea God Pavilion. After his death, he could even take over as the Pavilion Master, preventing Shrek Academy from being left leaderless and in dire straits.

So even though Mu En was furious with Elder Song, he didn't kill her. Instead, he hoped that she could lead Shrek Academy well and let it continue. If his death could quell the evil spirit master turmoil and allow Shrek Academy to slowly regain its former reputation, Mu En would be even more satisfied.

Of course, all of this was just Moon's wishful thinking before his death.

Although he didn't say a word after that, the thought always lingered in his mind: the current higher-ups at Shrek Academy were truly not worthy of his trust or his hopes.

It's complicated, but it's understandable.

Ultimately, he is Moon, a far-sighted old man, a calm and wise old man. Even in anger and disappointment, he still hopes that Shrek Academy can be properly passed down.

If it were Xuanzi, he would probably think, "Since you've slandered me, if I can't live anymore, then nobody else should either."

boom!

The level 98 Super Douluo self-destructed, leveling the entire Shrek Academy to the ground.

This is also why Moon didn't release Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe before he died. The two of them are really prone to impulsiveness. If they were released, Shrek Academy would really split up and fight a civil war, and then be destroyed.

Shrek…

Ancestors, Moon... I have no face to face you!
