Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Xuanzi, with a mournful face, looked up at Mu En and said, "Elder Mu, I am extremely loyal to the academy. How could I possibly want to destroy Shrek Academy?"

I've always hoped the college would improve, but things never seem to go as planned.

"The primary reason for the defeat in this war was that Di Tian failed to keep an eye on Huo Yuhao, which led him to attack the allied soldiers and powerful figures, trapping them in an illusion. I overestimated Di Tian's strength."

"Of course, I bear an unshirkable responsibility for my lack of knowledge about beasts. Please punish me, Elder Mu!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head, touching the ground with his head, looking somewhat humble.

Punishment!

Another punishment!

How else could I punish Xuanzi? Could I kill him?

Now that Shrek Academy has suffered another heavy blow, its dependence on Xuanzi has increased even further. What else can I do to punish Xuanzi?

Mu En was filled with resentment and wished he could take action against Xuan Zi right now. Even if he couldn't kill Xuan Zi, he wanted to teach Xuan Zi a lesson.

However, thinking of the future of Shrek Academy, he held back. After all, given his current physical condition, dealing with a level 98 Super Douluo was no easy task.

Choosing to take action would mean wasting a precious opportunity to strike on Xuanzi, which would undoubtedly be a losing proposition.

Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice came from inside the Sea God Pavilion: "Elder Mu, I have gathered new battlefield intelligence. Would it be convenient for you to listen now?"

The owner of that voice was a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy.

“Speak, if you need me to!” Moon said in a deep voice.

The voice continued: "Many fleeing Allied soldiers witnessed Elder Xuan's despicable act of abandoning his troops and fleeing in panic."

"Leave them to die without offering help and flee in panic?" Mu En felt these words were somewhat unfamiliar. He frowned slightly, and his gaze toward Xuanzi became increasingly hostile.

At that moment, Xuanzi's heart skipped a beat as he listened to these words.

"Shi Xing was being chased by a group of Sun Moon Soul Masters and asked Elder Xuan for help. Elder Xuan clearly promised to save Shi Xing, but when he saw Huo Yuhao arrive, he broke his promise and immediately chose to run away. In the end, Shi Xing perished," the voice continued.

Upon hearing this, Mu En was stunned for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. Then his eyes reddened, and he flew into a rage: "Xuanzi, how could you do such a thing? Shi Xing is at least your junior. Since you promised to save him, why did you run away as soon as you saw Huo Yuhao arrive, leaving him to die? Are you even human?"

His voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the Sea God Pavilion.

Xuanzi was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and choked out, "Elder Mu, I am also very saddened by Shixing's death."

He has always been an extremely outstanding Shrek Academy member, making numerous contributions to the academy.

However, I know that for the sake of the academy, I absolutely cannot save him!

Because this could very well lead to my death, and then Shrek Academy would face the embarrassing situation of having no one to use!

"To be honest, Elder Mu, I'm not afraid of death, and I'd be willing to die on the battlefield for the academy. But I absolutely cannot die at that moment. Even if it means bearing the blame, I must make the decision to flee in order to protect the academy's interests as much as possible!"

Moon gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage, clearly extremely angry.

Xuanzi's words do make sense, but given Xuanzi's past misdeeds, Mu En is unwilling to completely believe that Xuanzi's motivation for not helping someone in distress was entirely for the sake of the academy.

After all, no matter how eloquent Xuanzi was, the fact remained that his newly promoted elders, Gong Changlong and Shixing, had both died on the battlefield.

He said in a deep voice, "Xuanzi, since you say you are not afraid of death, then here's what we'll do: from today onwards, you will stay in the academy and stay by my side all the time. You are not allowed to leave without my permission."

When the Sun Moon Army besieges Shrek City, you and I will fight alongside them against the Sun Moon powerhouses. Even at the cost of our lives, we must try to kill Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao, and eliminate them for the academy!

Paying the price with one's life?

Does it mean igniting the flame of life and self-destructing the soul core?

With Di Tian's help, if he and Elder Mu were to take such action, there would indeed be a considerable probability that they could kill Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao.

Xuanzi's mind raced with thoughts, and he respectfully replied, "Yes, Elder Mu!"

..........

The Douling Empire, Lingdou City, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Douling was furious, cursing under his breath: "The allied forces have been defeated again! That Xuanzi is a jinx!"

"Now that the Star Luo Empire has been occupied by the Sun and Moon Army, the Sun and Moon Army will likely focus its efforts on dealing with the Dou Ling Empire!"

"This is troublesome. The Douling Empire's national strength is not as good as the Xingluo Empire's. Moreover, there are many Douling soldiers and powerful figures in the allied forces. Because of the war, the Douling Empire has also suffered heavy losses. Is the foundation of our ancestors going to be destroyed in my hands?"

He felt immense pressure, but as the Emperor of Douling, he had to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise how could the Xue family continue to rule the Douling Empire?

Chapter 761 Reactions from All Parties

After pondering for a moment, the Emperor of Douling sighed:

"There's no other way but to continue cooperating with Shrek Academy. After all, without Shrek Academy's support, the Douling Empire, with its current national strength, simply cannot contend with the powerful Sun Moon Empire."

"However, under no circumstances should Xuanzi be allowed to continue serving as the Allied Forces Marshal, otherwise the Allied Forces will continue to suffer crushing defeats. However, now that the Sun and Moon Army has occupied the entire territory of the Star Luo Empire, it can already threaten the safety of Shrek City. I suppose Elder Mu would not be so foolish as to let this damned Xuanzi continue to serve as the Allied Forces Marshal."

........

Haotian Sect.

The morning light is dim.

A strong wind blew from afar, making the robes of Daming and Erming flutter.

Da Ming looked at the white mist in the distance being stirred by the wind, like waves surging in the sea, and sighed: "Er Ming, I received news that after the Star Luo Empire was completely occupied by the Sun Moon Army, Xu Jiawei and his group who had fled were captured by Huo Yuhao and brought back. Then Xu Jiawei abdicated in favor of Xu Jiujiu."

"Now that Xu Jiujiu has ascended the throne, it signifies that the Star Luo Empire will be integrated into the Sun Moon Empire from this day forward."

"Judging from the situation on Tianhun's side, it is estimated that Xu Jiujiu will have to submit a letter of state in the future, requesting that the Xingluo Empire be downgraded to the Xingluo Kingdom and that she call herself the Xingluo Queen."

"As time goes by, it is estimated that the Star Luo Kingdom will be downgraded to the Star Luo Duchy, and after a long time, it will probably be downgraded to a Grand Duchess... and maybe in the end, they will have to move to Mingdu."

This is entirely a way to slowly erode the Star Luo people's identification with the Star Luo Empire, allowing them to gradually integrate into the Sun Moon Empire and establish a sense of identity with it.

As a reclusive sect, the Haotian Sect generally does not venture out easily. However, reclusive sects also have various needs, among which the need for intelligence is naturally at the forefront.

Especially in these turbulent times, with war raging, intelligence is of paramount importance.

The Haotian Sect has many affiliated forces, and once they gather intelligence, they immediately report it to the sect.

Therefore, the Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty, who was in charge of all affairs, was naturally well-informed about the external situation.

Upon hearing this, Erming was somewhat surprised: "Brother, if things really develop as you say, then the Star Luo Empire is completely doomed."

It is estimated that no one will use the Star Luo Empire's banner to resist the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

However, given Tang San's personality, he probably won't allow the Sun Moon Empire to unify the Douluo Continent. All the land the Sun Moon Empire currently occupies will have to be returned in the future.

Da Ming nodded in agreement: "You're right. Tang San is like that. The Sun Moon Empire can only be arrogant for a while. After all, he is a God King. This war is just a small skirmish for Tang San."

Because of Xiao Qi's situation, he couldn't stand Tang San.

However, he had unwavering faith in Tang San's personal strength and knew that the fact that Douluo Continent was not unified by the Sun Moon Empire would actually be of great benefit to Tang San in collecting faith power.

Therefore, Tang San will inevitably have to participate.

Of course, he still supported Tang San in this matter. After all, many members of the Clear Sky Sect had died at the hands of the Sun Moon Empire. Xiao Qi was quite unhappy about this, and he hoped that Tang San could teach the Sun Moon Empire a profound lesson.

.........

Spirit world.

A soft light swept through the clouds and shone on a magnificent palace.

Inside the hall, Dai Mubai and Tang San sat facing each other. He looked at the God King who used to call him "Big Brother Dai" but now called him "Mubai". Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still smiled.

After all, the other party was a high and mighty God King, while he was just a second-level god. If it weren't for their past friendship, he would have to bow respectfully and call Tang San "Lord Sea God" when he met him.

"Mu Bai, do you still remember Huo Yuhao?" Tang San asked with a serious expression.

Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously frowned, nodded, and said, "I remember you told me before that he was a genius of the Dai family, but he betrayed the Star Luo Empire and joined the Sun Moon Empire. He even changed his name from 'Dai Yuhao' to 'Huo Yuhao'. I was thinking of having him recognize his ancestors and change his surname back to Dai in the future."

Why are you suddenly bringing up Huo Yuhao again? Has one of my descendants done something truly earth-shattering in the mortal realm?

"What Huo Yuhao did was nothing to the gods, but on the Douluo Continent, it was earth-shattering. Mu Bai, I can say that he brought you honor, but he also brought you shame," Tang San replied in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Dai Mubai's eyes widened, and he slammed his hands on the table with a bang, leaning forward slightly. "What exactly did Huo Yuhao do to make you, the mistress, give such a review!"

Upon hearing the word "mistress," Tang San's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly. He felt that the term sounded rather jarring coming from Dai Mubai's mouth.

Dai Mubai doesn't even want to call himself "Third Brother"!

Although he was indeed ranked third among the Shrek Seven Devils, that was based entirely on age. In Tang San's current mindset, this ranking was extremely unreasonable.

He was ranked first in strength among the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Therefore, the order of the Shrek Seven Devils should also be changed!

Of course, he has not yet fully taken control of the God Realm and is facing a great enemy that could destroy it. He still needs a group of loyal dogs, so he cannot change the order of the Seven Monsters for the time being.

Tang San looked into Dai Mubai's eyes and said slowly, "The reason I say it's a great achievement is because Huo Yuhao became a Title Douluo at the young age of twenty, and he fought against four opponents, killing a level 97 Super Douluo and two Title Douluos, and even capturing a Title Douluo alive."

"Although his achievements largely depended on his soul tool, he has enough to be proud of."

Dai Mubai was shocked and subconsciously said, "For his age to have such strength, his talent is too great. What's wrong with using a soul tool? Little San, didn't you also have experience killing enemies with hidden weapons back then?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression stiffened.

Can they be the same?

Soul tools are just shady tricks and ingenious techniques that can't be brought into the open, while hidden weapons are the crystallization of one's own wisdom!

After all, he brought these hidden weapons to this world, so he can be considered to have invented them!

Tang San suppressed his anger and did not lash out.

He continued, "Huo Yuhao has great talent. He became a Title Douluo at the young age of twenty, which is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement. However, he must have consumed a lot of pills that deplete potential in the process of achieving this. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain his rapid progress in cultivation."

"After all, even as the most talented Soul Master in history, I only became a Title Douluo at the age of twenty-four."

"Later generations, lacking access to immortal herbs, would have no chance of surpassing me without consuming large amounts of pills that deplete their potential!"

His words were so forceful that even Dai Mubai couldn't find a point to refute them. He nodded and said, "Xiao San, what you said makes sense. So, what are you referring to as Huo Yuhao embarrassing me?"

Chapter 762 Huo Yuhao, change your surname back to Dai and acknowledge your ancestors!

Compared to Tang San, he usually pays less attention to events in Douluo Continent.

Tang San said with regret, "Mu Bai, Huo Yuhao's previous feat of fighting four opponents alone was achieved in battles against the allied forces."

To this day, he has helped the Sun Moon Empire destroy the Star Luo Empire; strictly speaking, the Star Luo Empire is now dead!
