Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 343 Moon: I really want to slap him.

Long Xiaoyao and Mu En looked at each other, speechless for a long time...

After a long while, Long Xiaoyao slowly walked up to Mu En and said wistfully, "Yes, more than a hundred years have passed, and we have all grown old..."

Looking at Long Xiaoyao, who had silver hair but a rosy complexion like a baby and was still tall and upright, Mu En felt the same melancholy as Long Xiaoyao, but his heart was like the waves on the sea, churning endlessly.

If we're talking about old age, Mu En is truly old. For the past hundred years, he has been fighting against the malevolent energy within the Dragon Core, which has severely depleted his life force. His lifespan is nearing its end, and he may even be dying soon.

Compared to him, who was on the verge of death, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were in excellent health and could easily live for another fifty years.

If Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui had the same body as him, he wouldn't have to worry.

After his death, there was no Limit Douluo to govern the Douluo Continent.

Mu En couldn't help but feel a little worried about Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy.

Mu En looked at Long Xiaoyao and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Long, my days are numbered."

Long Xiaoyao remained silent after hearing Mu En's words. As a Limit Douluo powerhouse, he was naturally able to sense that Mu En's life force was depleting.

Long Xiaoyao sighed, "Brother Mu, you..."

Mu En shook his head and continued nonchalantly, "Brother Long, a few days ago, in Qinghai City of Douluo Continent, a super Douluo-level evil soul master was killed by my successor Chen Feng. Before he died, he said that he belonged to the Holy Spirit Cult. After many years, I heard the name of the Holy Spirit Cult again."

What I didn't expect was that I would find traces of the Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun Moon Empire, and what I didn't expect even more was that you were also in the Holy Spirit Cult.

After saying that, Mu En's eyes flashed with golden light as he stared into Long Xiaoyao's eyes.

Long Xiaoyao lowered his head immediately when Mu En looked at him like that.

The super Douluo evil soul master, Demon Spider Douluo Li Ming, was a member of his Hall of Offerings, and Long Xiaoyao, as the head of the Hall of Offerings, naturally knew this.

The Holy Spirit Cult has even begun investigating all information about Chen Feng, planning to hunt him down.

Although Long Xiaoyao was not particularly intelligent, he still understood the meaning behind Mu En's words.

Furthermore, since Moon traveled all the way from Shrek Academy to find the Sun Moon Empire and then found him, the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult could no longer be kept secret.

Long Xiaoyao felt utterly ashamed. The evil deeds committed by the Holy Spirit Cult over the years were countless and unforgivable. His condoning of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil deeds, his indulgence of Ye Xishui, and his assistance to Ye Xishui were equally unforgivable.

Looking at Long Xiaoyao's lowered head, Elder Mu sighed, "Brother Long, I've let go of the past, but haven't you? Ye Xishui did evil, and instead of stopping her, you joined in?"

Long Xiaoyao's face showed pain. "Brother Mu, the people I have wronged the most in this life are you and Xishui. I hurt Xishui too badly, and I can never repay her for what I owe her."

No matter what Xi Shui did, I couldn't stop her. Because I didn't have the right. For the rest of my life, I will protect Xi Shui until I die.

After saying that, Long Xiaoyao's expression became firm, as if he was willing to give up everything and dedicate his life for Ye Xishui.

Upon hearing Long Xiaoyao's words, Mu En, with his more than two hundred years of cultivation, almost lost his composure.

You, Long Xiaoyao, owe Ye Xishui, but don't you owe me anything? For Ye Xishui's sake, you've served the Holy Spirit Cult and helped them commit evil deeds.

Then why don't you come and help me protect Shrek Academy since you owe me?

Mu En wanted to slap Long Xiaoyao across the face and ask him what he was thinking.

Now the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire are colluding and eyeing the Douluo Continent covetously. As a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, you can't even distinguish right from wrong, can you?

Besides, don't you know what kind of bastards the Holy Spirit Cult's evil spirit masters are?

When war breaks out, the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult will surely rejoice and take the opportunity to harvest the souls and flesh of countless beings on the continent to improve their cultivation.

Once the evil spirit masters expand their power through war to the point where no one can control them, the entire continent will surely be plunged into chaos and suffering.

Moon's expression remained unchanged, but his heart grew heavier.

Seeing Long Xiaoyao's resolute expression, Mu En knew that Long Xiaoyao was completely beyond saving, and if he tried to persuade him any further, Long Xiaoyao would definitely turn around and leave.

That clearly contradicts his original intention in coming to find Long Xiaoyao.

He called Long Xiaoyao out in the hope of persuading him to leave the Holy Spirit Cult, and if that failed...

They should try to persuade Long Xiaoyao not to harm Shrek Academy, and if possible, even protect Shrek Academy.

Mu En said to Long Xiaoyao, "Brother Long, I am nearing the end of my life. I have come to you today to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing Mu En's words, Long Xiaoyao replied, "Brother Mu, just say it. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you."

Long Xiaoyao knew he had wronged Mu En, and when he heard that Mu En needed him, he did not hesitate.

Mu En said, "Brother Long, the Sun Moon Empire is now firmly established and growing stronger. It won't be long before it goes to war with the Douluo Three Kingdoms. The Holy Spirit Cult is probably standing with the Sun Moon Empire now."

Long Xiaoyao nodded silently. He had always known about Ye Xishui's plan: the Holy Spirit Cult intended to use war to expand and grow stronger.

In fact, Long Xiaoyao also did not want to see such a scene of devastation, but he could not stop Ye Xishui from doing it.

All he could do was not help the Holy Spirit Cult invade the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent.

Judging from Long Xiaoyao's expression, Mu En knew that he definitely wouldn't stop Ye Xishui.

Although Mu En was dissatisfied with Long Xiaoyao, there was nothing he could do.

Mu En said sincerely, "If war breaks out, Shrek Academy will definitely be the first to be affected, so I hope that Brother Long can take care of Shrek Academy after my death."

If Shrek Academy is too big a target to protect, I hope you can save one person, Chen Feng.

That's right. If things really get extremely dangerous, then we only need to protect Chen Feng; he is the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

Seeing that Mu En's request was not difficult, Long Xiaoyao immediately agreed, "Brother Mu, rest assured, I will do my best to protect Shrek Academy."

Mu En said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Long. With your words, I can finally go in peace."

After a moment's hesitation, Mu En ultimately decided not to entrust the Dragon Pill to Long Xiaoyao. He had done all he could; the future was now in Chen Feng's hands.

As his life was drawing to a close, Elder Mu began his final scheme, at least to keep Long Xiaoyao in check.

Hearing Mu En's gratitude, Long Xiaoyao felt much less guilty towards Mu En that had been piling up in his heart.

He immediately said generously, "Brother Mu, it's been over a hundred years since we last met. Now that we've met again, we must catch up properly."

Mu En sighed, "Even for us Limit Douluos who have reached level ninety-nine, our lives are only a short three hundred years. After this parting, I'm afraid we will never meet again in our lifetime."

Long Xiaoyao said, "Brother Mu, don't say such discouraging things. Let's go have a drink."

After saying that, Long Xiaoyao tried to pull Mu En away to catch up with old friends. Mu En didn't refuse; although he didn't have long to live, he wasn't in a hurry.

...............................

Outside the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

A huge, luxurious carriage pulled by four priceless, thousand-year-old horned-scaled horses moved forward at high speed.

Horned horses and ordinary horses have absolutely no connection.

They are a type of spirit beast. They are not good at attacking, but their defense is quite good. They possess the innate spirit skills Black Scale Body Protection and Heavenly Horn Shield.

Furthermore, horned-scaled horses possess exceptional stamina; even a typical ten-year-old soul beast horned-scaled horse is more than three times faster than an ordinary horse, and its speed is also remarkable. While running, it can also unleash a protective shield to safeguard itself.

Because these spirit beasts can be tamed by humans, they are highly prized by nobles from various countries. A ten-year-old horned-scaled horse can fetch an astonishing price of five to ten thousand gold spirit coins.

If it's a horned-scaled horse that's a hundred years old, the price will be ten times higher. A thousand-year-old one is even more extraordinary. Those are things that are priceless and unavailable.

As for those who are ten thousand years old or older... they are almost non-existent in the Horned Scale Horse race, as they do not have the foundation to evolve to that level.

This luxurious carriage is equipped with four thousand-year-old horned-scaled horses, which gives you an idea of ​​how distinguished its owner must be.

The luxurious carriage was adorned with numerous eight-clawed fire dragon patterns. Indeed, the person sitting inside was Xu Tianran, the current crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

On this trip, Xu Tianran, accompanied by Ju Zi and more than twenty followers, left Mingdu and headed towards the location where his army was stationed.

This army was not the elite Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire; it was just an ordinary army.

Xu Tianran controlled several ordinary armies, and the army he took with him this time was one of the weaker ones among his forces.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire's most elite Soul Master Corps is beyond the reach of any prince.

At most, princes would only have some involvement with ordinary armies. Most ordinary armies of the Sun Moon Empire had Soul Masters serving in them, but the number and strength of the Soul Masters depended on the recruitment capabilities of the army's master.

As the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's army was naturally quite powerful. Although it was one of the more ordinary armies under his command, it had as many as two hundred Soul Masters with the third ring or higher.

After all, Xu Tianran, as the crown prince, was wealthy. He couldn't recruit Soul Masters just by having money, but it wasn't difficult to recruit some Soul Masters of average strength.

Xu Tianran's purpose this time was to take Ju Zi to the army for training. In the army, strength is respected, and his presence was to support and back Ju Zi. Otherwise, Ju Zi would need to spend a considerable amount of time taking control of the army.

Inside the carriage.

Because she was going to the army, Ju Zi was dressed in a smart outfit, looking very heroic.

Her large eyes revealed a hint of excitement; clearly, being able to command an army made Ju Zi quite excited.

Xu Tianran sat calmly in the soft seat.

Behind the horse followed a dozen or so servants, riding horned horses and dressed in the most ordinary court attire.

However, what was surprising was that the servant driving Xu Tianran's carriage was a hunched-over, frail-looking old man who looked like he could be blown over at any moment.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the old man's presence is abnormally weak, and his aura is deeply concealed, almost as if it were nothingness.

Xu Tianran said to Ju Zi, "In this unit, you should train hard. When your abilities become stronger, I will hand over all my trump cards in the army to you, so you can use them as you see fit."

Given Xu Tianran's personality, he naturally wouldn't hand over his entire army to a newcomer like Ju Zi to command right away. After all, although Ju Zi had good military talent, he was ultimately just a theorist and hadn't actually done any practical work.

Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, Ju Zi immediately replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to manage your army well."

Orange knows Xu Tianran best. She knows that Xu Tianran is very suspicious, especially after he lost his legs and his ability to be a man.

When interacting with Xu Tianran, one must not relax for a moment, and every word must be carefully considered. Otherwise, if one relies on Xu Tianran's trust and acts as if no one is superior, one will eventually be abandoned by Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran nodded upon hearing Ju Zi's words. Indeed, it was his army; Ju Zi was merely managing it on his behalf. That sounded reassuring.

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Ju Zi, in my current state, I naturally cannot command an army. An army is a force that any emperor must control."

You are the person I trust most. I feel at ease entrusting the army to you. Go ahead and use your talents. I'll support you no matter what happens. Go ahead and do it.

Xu Tianran continued, "I have confidence in you. You are intelligent and resourceful, well-versed in military strategy, and your battlefield simulations are astonishing. You are also familiar with soul tools."

Now, all you lack is the ability to turn theory into practice. I believe that with some practice, you will be able to do it well.

Once you've gained experience and filled your resume in this ordinary army, you'll have become a seasoned veteran.

I will gradually bring you into my inner circle of the military, and then I will tell them that you will be my wife, the Crown Princess and Empress.

"Your Highness, I have no way to repay your great kindness and virtue. I can only give my life for you," said Ju Zi, deeply moved.

Xu Tianran smiled slightly, extremely satisfied with what Ju Zi said.

Just then, Xu Tianran's carriage left the Mingdu area and entered another city.

A loud bang came from outside, and five seventh-level Soul Masters dressed in black, whose soul power had reached the Soul Saint level, attacked the carriage where Xu Tianran was.

Under the attack of five level-seven soul masters, all kinds of powerful soul tools swept in from all directions.

At that moment, the old man who was driving the carriage for Xu Tianran suddenly soared into the sky like a ghost.

Immediately following was a burst of chilling killing intent: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Nine spirit rings rose and circled around the old man's body. This old man was actually a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

The five level-seven soul masters who came to attack were horrified and looked incredulous when they saw the nine soul rings on the old man's body.

The next moment, five thin, black rays that slightly tore through space slid down from the sky.

The five level-seven Soul Masters who came to attack were all split in two and fell from the sky...

The overwhelming barrage of soul-guided devices was completely torn apart by the five black rays.

After doing all this, the old man returned to the carriage like a ghost and continued on his way, riding the horned horse.

If it weren't for the five corpses on the ground, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, a sharp, cold glint appeared in Xu Tianran's eyes inside the carriage.

"What a good brother! I just left Mingdu and he's already so eager to see me die, huh!"
