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

An invisible current surged, like a mighty river, washing away the fallen leaves all around.

Thick bull horns grew wildly on Xuanzi's head, reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight.

Mu En opened his eyes, stared at Xuan Zi, somewhat puzzled: "Xuan Zi, what are you going to do?"

He was also feeling uneasy, completely unaware of why Xuanzi had suddenly adopted this posture.

"Elder Mu, I'm leaving the academy to carry out my plan and save Shrek Academy from its dire straits." Xuanzi made no attempt to hide his thoughts, openly announcing what he was about to do.

Mu En looked surprised, his hands gripping the armrests of the chair tightly, and he said sternly, "Xuan Zi, you promised me that you are not allowed to leave the academy without my permission!"

"I'm sorry, Elder Mu, I have to break my promise."

Xuanzi sighed, "In fact, I did this not out of selfishness, but for the sake of the academy."

If I stay at the academy and watch Yan Shaozhe's plan steadily progress, the crisis facing Shrek Academy might only grow larger. I don't want to see the academy destroyed by the Sun Moon Army in the future; I hope to see Shrek Academy reverse its current decline.

After saying these words, Xuanzi transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light and rushed towards the azure sky. Soon, he turned into a small earthy yellow dot.

With a look of anger on his face, Mu En stretched out his hand, his soul power flowing through his meridians, wanting to stop Xuan Zi and keep him in the academy. However, when he thought of his terrible physical condition, his arm fell limply to his side.

After all, the price he would have to pay to intercept a level 98 Super Douluo would be considerable. Of course, he could do this if he were dealing with an enemy, but Xuanzi was not an enemy.

At this moment, Mu En had no choice but to accept reality. He sighed, a helpless look appearing on his aged face, his thoughts churning: "I'll save my remaining strength for the enemies of the Sun Moon Empire. As for Xuanzi, I can only let him go. After all, given my current physical condition, if Xuanzi insists on going his own way, I have no good way to deal with him!"

........

Haotian Sect.

As dawn approached, the morning mist swirled around the scene.

A group of Haotian Sect disciples were training, wielding their Haotian Hammers with great force, the whistling sound of them cutting through the air constantly filling the air.

They were sweating profusely and panting heavily.

On the high platform.

Tang Niu, the Grand Elder of Haotian Sect, stood with his hands behind his back, his expression serious and solemn, displaying the aura of a grandmaster. Of course, this was only his outward appearance. At this moment, this renowned Grand Elder had no attention on the group of Haotian Sect disciples.

His mind was racing.

"The people I sent out should arrive at Shrek Academy in a few days and inform Mu En of the location of the Haotian Sect's mountain gate."

"As long as Shrek Academy can lure the Sun Moon Army here, no matter how many Sun Moon experts come, they will all be beaten to their knees and beg for mercy by the Grand Master and the Second Grand Master."

"Hopefully Shrek Academy will step up their game. They shouldn't be unable to handle such a small matter, right?"

Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly, a series of footsteps, like muffled thunder, rang in his ears.

A tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man walked up to him and said, "Elder, we have found out that there are indeed descendants of the four great clans in the Sun Moon Army. They are serving the Sun Moon Empire and have made great contributions."

"Oh?" Tang Niu frowned slightly.

Some time ago, he heard that the descendants of the four major clans had joined the Sun and Moon Army. His first reaction was that it was impossible, but he also had a plan. He secretly sent people to investigate whether the matter was true, and unexpectedly, they actually found something.

Although the disciples of the Haotian Sect cannot leave the mountain without the permission of the two sect leaders.

However, as a powerful soul master force, the Clear Sky Sect has stood firm for many years and has naturally cultivated some trustworthy affiliated forces to help the Clear Sky Sect with certain tasks.

These affiliated forces follow the lead of the Haotian Sect without question. Even now that the Tianhun Empire has fallen, these people remain loyal. And most of the people that he, as the Grand Elder, sends out to do things are from these affiliated forces.

"Then send people to contact the descendants of these four major clans, appealing to their emotions while promising them benefits, trying to get them to betray the Sun Moon Empire and work for us, contributing their strength to defeating the Sun Moon Empire."

"Elder, the Haotian Sect and the four major clans have not been in contact for a long time. If we rashly send people to contact the descendants of these four major clans, it will probably be difficult to persuade them to betray the Sun Moon Empire. They might even be driven away!" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, feeling that the elder's idea was too difficult to realize.

Tang Niu smiled calmly: "If we can successfully get these guys to betray the Sun Moon Empire, that would be the best-case scenario. If we fail, it doesn't matter."

At worst, after a defeat, we can send people to spread the word that the descendants of these four major clans are contacting Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, and even the Allied Forces.

"As a result, these guys' situation in the Sun and Moon Army will inevitably worsen, and they may even be ostracized by their comrades, which will inevitably cause some cracks in the relationships between the soldiers in the Sun and Moon Army."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, feeling that this method was feasible, so he respectfully said, "Elder, your insight is brilliant."

.......

"Le Xuan, I have good news for you. Elder Tang Niu of the Haotian Sect sent someone to tell me the location of the Haotian Sect's mountain gate, and even attached a map with the location marked."

Unexpectedly, the Haotian Sect's mountain gate was located near Tiandou City, and had never been discovered by anyone else.

According to the agreement between Elder Tang Niu and me, as long as we lure the Sun-Moon Realm experts towards the Haotian Sect's mountain gate, the Haotian Sect's Grand Master and Second Master will naturally take action to deal with these Sun-Moon Realm experts.

Looking at Zhang Lexuan in front of him, Mu En couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was somewhat surprised. She asked, "Elder Mu, should we change our plan and shift our focus to the Heavenly Soul Empire?"

Mu En shook his head and replied, "No, the focus should still be on the Star Luo Empire. The Heavenly Soul Empire surrendered voluntarily and merged into the Sun and Moon Empire, which is different from the Star Luo Empire merging into the Sun and Moon Empire."

Even within the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Haotian Sect could only divert some of the Sun and Moon Army's attention.

After all, the Haotian Sect's mountain gate cannot be moved. Even if we bring some Sun and Moon experts to the Haotian Sect's mountain gate and cause the Sun and Moon Empire to lose some experts, it can only alleviate the current dire situation.

After all, the Sun and Moon Marshal wasn't stupid; there was no need to continuously pour Sun and Moon powerhouses into the tough nut of the Clear Sky Sect.

Zhang Lexuan nodded: "Elder Mu, who should be entrusted with the task of attracting the Sun and Moon Realm experts to the Haotian Sect's mountain gate?"

Upon hearing this, Mu En was stunned for a moment, and then felt a headache coming on.

Chapter 776 Shrek Special Operations

Shrek Academy suffered enormous losses in this war.

Many powerful warriors perished on the battlefield.

This means that Shrek Academy is now in an awkward situation where there are very few people available.

If someone is sent by oneself to attract the power of the Sun and Moon realms, then such a person must either be extremely powerful or have a special identity. Otherwise, why would a power of the Sun and Moon realms hunt down such a person?

Ultimately, this led some of the Sun and Moon Realm experts to the gates of the Haotian Sect.

Seeing Mu En's troubled expression, Zhang Lexuan's eyes flickered. After a moment's thought, she volunteered: "Elder Mu, let me lead some inner court students to participate in this operation to attract Sun and Moon level experts."

Although I and those inner court students aren't among the strongest, my special status should attract a lot of Sun-Moon level experts whenever I go out.

The inner students who are still steadfastly serving at Shrek Academy today are truly loyal beyond measure.

Recently, she had also had private conversations with these inner court students and learned that they were all extremely eager to contribute to the academy and fight against the evil Sun Moon Empire.

“How can this be?” Moon refused without hesitation, his voice booming. “You are still young, the future of Shrek Academy. We old guys are not all dead yet. There’s no need for you to take such a big risk to do this kind of thing.”

Zhang Lexuan felt a warmth in her heart, but she still stubbornly said, "Elder Mu, everything is for the sake of the academy. If the academy loses this war, Shrek Academy will have no future."

I made this suggestion because I wanted to do more for the academy. If I and the other inner court students don't go out to attract Sun and Moon level experts, then who else can you send?"

Moon paused, lost in thought, and fell silent, his mind churning like waves.

Yes, who else can we send?

Xuanzi has already left the academy, so even if the other party were still there, he couldn't be sent to do such a thing.

After all, Mu En was well aware of Xuanzi's unreliability.

My trust in Xuanzi's ability to do things well has plummeted. If the other party were to do this, he would probably mess it up again, causing disastrous results.

Moreover, Tang Niu, the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect, had always harbored resentment towards Xuanzi for "killing" a group of Haotian Sect members.

If Xuanzi were to go to the Haotian Sect's mountain gate and enter their territory, he would certainly not get the better of them.

As for Shao Zhe, he needs to go into seclusion to cultivate and improve his cultivation as much as possible, so he obviously cannot leave the academy.

However, given his poor physical condition and the need to conserve his strength for the battle against the Sun and Moon Realm experts, he could not do this task.

The pressure from reality came crashing down like a tsunami. Mu En sighed helplessly, his gaze fixed on Zhang Lexuan, and said in a deep voice:

"Le Xuan, I'll leave this matter to you. But remember, you absolutely mustn't let Wang Dong know about this. Oh, and remember to have Wang Dong come to see me," Mu En instructed.

Wang Dong is now naturally a member of the inner courtyard.

According to Mu En's idea, since the Haotian Sect should be asked to lend a hand...

Shrek Academy should show some goodwill, such as preventing Wang Dong from participating in this operation to ensure his personal safety.

Otherwise, if something were to happen to Wang Dong while he was trying to attract Sun and Moon level experts, the Haotian Sect might completely break ties with Shrek Academy.

This would present Shrek Academy with a huge problem.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan did not object at all; she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Mu."

After saying this, Zhang Lexuan left the Sea God Pavilion.

First, she sent someone to inform Wang Dong to go to the Sea God Pavilion to see Elder Mu. Then, she gathered all the Shrek Academy students except Wang Dong into a clearing in the woods within the academy.

Sunlight pierced through the lush, leafy trees, splitting into several beams of light of varying sizes. Dust particles floated within these beams, much like the restless mood of the students in the inner courtyard.

The students in the inner courtyard lined up in order, all their eyes fixed on Zhang Lexuan in front of them.

This once-respected senior disciple of the inner court has now become one of the esteemed elders of the Sea God Pavilion. However, she did not adopt an arrogant attitude because of her changed status. Instead, she maintained a gentle smile, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"I have gathered everyone here today to announce something. As you all know, the Sun Moon Empire is extremely powerful now, and the academy is facing a very bad situation. Therefore, Elder Mu and I have discussed some plans to reverse the decline."

"I need some people to go out with me and carry out Shrek's special operation to attract powerful beings from the Sun and Moon realms to a certain place."

"Let me state beforehand that participating in Shrek's special operation will be mortally dangerous, but if this operation succeeds, even the strongest warriors of the Sun and Moon realms will pay a bloody price! The choice to participate in this operation rests with each and every one of you."

Although she knew from their previous conversations that the inner court students present all wanted to contribute to Shrek Academy and fight against the evil Sun Moon Empire.

However, communication is not everything. When faced with a challenge, some people will choose to rise to the occasion, while others will choose to shrink back.

She hoped the operation would go as smoothly as possible, and naturally, she couldn't force everyone to participate. If someone didn't want to participate but was forced to, it would undoubtedly create problems for the operation.

Upon hearing this, everyone began to express their thoughts.

"Senior Sister, the academy's kindness can never be repaid, and I am willing to participate in this operation."

"Yes, Senior Sister, it's time to make those Sun and Moon Realm experts pay the price!"

All the students from the inner academy she had summoned chose to participate in this operation.

“Okay, let’s go now!” Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice.

After saying that, Zhang Lexuan led everyone away from the place. As for the necessary soul tools of various levels, she had many in her storage soul tools, which she could distribute to the Shrek Academy students who participated in this operation.

........

"Elder Mu, what brings you here?" Wang Dong, who had been summoned to the Sea God Pavilion by Zhang Lexuan, couldn't help but ask, her face showing a puzzled expression.

Mu En looked at Wang Dong and smiled, "Wang Dong, among the students of Shrek Academy, your talent is second to none."
