Chapter 123 We Can’t Let Shrek Run Away Like This

The old emperor looked at the seriously injured Zhongli Wu, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately waved his hand:
“Someone, come here! Tell the imperial physician and the imperial teacher to find out the origins of the enemies from Mingde Hall?”

Zhongli Wu suppressed the disordered breath in his heart and said in a heavy tone:

“Your Majesty, I don’t know the details of the leader, but he is extremely powerful. He is at least an Ultimate Douluo, and he is not one of the two Titled Douluos I mentioned before. Shrek’s foundation is indeed profound.”

The old emperor’s face changed when he heard this. It seemed that what Zhongli Wu said last time was true. Shrek was able to send out Extreme Douluo to attack Mingde Hall at night, so it must have a very deep background. He murmured solemnly:

“So what the Imperial Master means is that Shrek has already confirmed that there are at least three Ultimate Douluo?”

Zhongli Wu nodded with a grim expression: “It seems to be correct at the moment.”

The old emperor seemed to remember something and whispered:

“It’s bad. Jing Hongchen and the others are still in the Tianhun Empire. Someone, come! Send an urgent message! Quickly notify Jing Hongchen and the others to return home. If something happens to them, our Sun and Moon will be seriously injured.”

Long Xiaoyao stood up and bowed to the emperor. “Your Majesty, the leader of Shrek and I have some friendship. Can you please give me some face and let me handle this matter.”

Emperor Sun and Moon hesitated for a moment and nodded: “Don’t rush to deal with it. First tell me what the situation is like in Mingde Hall.”

“Very bad.”

After hearing his concise answer, the old emperor also understood that the loss suffered by Mingde Hall this time would definitely not be made up in three to five years, and he instantly became furious:
“Come here! Give me an order and announce to the world that Shrek has sent people to attack Mingde Hall at night. If you don’t behead the culprit and show it to the public, be prepared to bear the wrath of the sun and the moon.”

Long Xiaoyao took a step forward, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice:
“Your Majesty, please think twice. We have no evidence to prove that Shrek was responsible for this. Considering Shrek’s reputation on the continent for thousands of years, it may be suspected of slander.

The leader of Shrek is an old friend of mine. He is the leader of Shrek. The other party will definitely not obey your orders. We might as well notify the garrison to intercept him immediately.

In order to prevent a large number of researchers from being abducted by the other side, at least a few people must be left behind. Let the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps of Mingdou Mountain Range block the front, and I will lead people to pursue from the rear. This will also prevent the other side from rushing back to Shrek and stop the Red Dust Hall Master and his group from returning to the realm. “

“Then we can only do as you say. Damn Shrek.” The old emperor nodded, and then said to Kong Deming beside him:
“Mr. Kong, is this all we can do?”

Kong Deming nodded calmly: “Your Majesty, a little impatience can ruin a great plan. Now Mingde Hall is seriously injured. In addition, as the Imperial Master said, the other side has three Extreme Douluos. I will build the Death God Tower for the Supreme Worshiper, lie dormant for a few years, and then come back to avenge this arrow.”

Seeing what Confucius said, the old emperor could only nod helplessly:

“That’s all we can do. Let’s do it.”

After everyone except Kong Deming had left, Xu Tianran came in in his wheelchair, looked at the old emperor and nodded:
“Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Mingde Hall is the source of our Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Devices. Now that we have gone through this catastrophe, I believe that we must not let Shrek go easily. We must send out the Royal Soul Guidance Corps to stop us.”

The old emperor shook his head and said, “Forget it. The other party is elusive. If we send out the Royal Soul Instructor Corps and the capital is attacked, I’m afraid the gains will outweigh the losses.”

Xu Tianran’s eyes flashed with a hint of obscure fluctuations, and he seemed to want to say something else, but the old emperor waved his hand:
“No need to say more, go down.”

Xu Tianran could only nod reluctantly and slowly move away in his wheelchair.

The old emperor looked at his departing figure and said to Kong Deming with some concern:
“Deming, don’t you think the Crown Prince is… a little too focused on attacking?”

Kong Deming smiled and said, “Your Majesty, weren’t you just like the prince back then? This is indeed a bitter experience. If it were you back then, you would have led your troops to attack Shrek long ago.”

Hearing his slightly teasing tone, the old emperor did not show any displeasure on his face, and his mood eased a little:
“Unfortunately, I no longer have the energy to do so. However, I am worried that Mingde Hall has suffered heavy losses, and the power of the Holy Spirit Church in Mingdu will probably become even more difficult to control.

Another reason why I promised Long Xiaoyao not to issue the imperial edict is that I am worried that Zhongli Wu will be recognized. Once we denounce Shrek, he will expose our alliance with the evil spirit master, and we will definitely lose the support of the people. “

Kong Deming said calmly, “Your Majesty’s consideration is not unreasonable, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep some tricks in mind when building the Death God Tower. You don’t have to worry about the Holy Spirit Church for the time being.

The most important thing at the moment is to bring the empire’s genius back to the country. Lin Dong is now a famous genius on the continent. If this boy can grow up, he will definitely be of great help to the unification of the empire.”

The old emperor said with interest, “I have also heard of this Lin Dong. He seems to be a young man who shines brightly in the competition. But can he really change the overall situation of the country by himself?”

Kong Deming laughed and nodded: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, my judgment will not be wrong. For now, we will follow Long Xiaoyao’s advice and at least help them delay the pace of Shrek’s return to the city.

Once the Shrek people encounter the garrison of Mingdou Mountains, there is no need to worry about your majesty’s safety. This old minister can also lead a corps of soul guides to the Xingluo Empire to support Master Hongchen and others.

What I am worried about now is that we have had quite a conflict with the Xingluo Empire in this Continental Advanced Fighting Spirit Competition. Once they get to know about this and send out troops to intercept us, I am afraid that Master Hongchen and his party will be in bad situation.

Therefore, as Long Xiaoyao said, the imperial decree of His Majesty must not be known to the other three countries, and everything must wait until the Lord of Hongchen Hall returns before making any plans.”

After hearing Kong Deming’s analysis, Emperor Sun and Moon hummed in approval:
“You are right. I was impulsive. If that is the case, then we should act quickly and send someone to block the news first.”

“It’s Your Majesty.”

Xu Tianran controlled the wheelchair and walked out of the emperor’s palace. He pinched the back of the wheelchair with his fingertips, his eyes flashing with coldness, and whispered in a low voice:

“This Shrek night attack on Mingde Hall may not be a bad thing for me. This matter of conquering the whole world must be done by me!

It’s a pity that my father didn’t listen to me. If I could significantly weaken Shrek’s power, my future plans would surely succeed. However, my father has been very distant to me recently, so I’m afraid I have to think of other backup plans…”

At this time, they were in a dense forest outside Mingdu City.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Moon En and asked respectfully:
“Mr. Mu, although we sacrificed an elder in this operation, the gains were not small. Thanks to your decision, the peace of the continent can be maintained for at least five years. It’s just a pity that the evil soul master didn’t die.”

Moon glanced at him and said calmly:
“Each elder plays a vital role in the Sea God Pavilion. We can only blame ourselves for being so focused on retreating that our inspection was not successful. As for the problem with the evil soul master, he was hit by my “Reigning Over the World”. I’m afraid his future training will not be easy.”

“Then Elder Mu, how should we evacuate the Sun-Moon Empire? After all, with so many researchers, our soul power may not be able to fly across the sea, and flying soul guides may not be able to be used.” Moon thought for a moment, “That’s right, at present, it seems that we can only hide and go to the Mingdou Mountains. As long as we reach the Xingluo Empire, the pursuers of the Sun-Moon Empire will definitely not dare to cross the border.

In this way, we will first send the old man who is good at speed to cross the sea alone to explain the situation to Xu Jiawei, and the rest of us will follow the border of Mingdu and rush to the Mingdou Mountains first. “

Yan Shaozhe replied in a deep voice, and passed on Moon’s intention to the elders. The group took advantage of the night to move towards the Mingdou Mountains…

On the other side, inside the secret room of the Sun and Moon Palace.

Ye Xishui looked at the seriously injured Zhongli Wu, stretched out his hand to check, and shouted with great resentment:
“Moon! Damn you, Moon! Not only did you humiliate me back then, but now you’ve injured my son. I must kill you!”

Looking at the frantic Ye Xishui, Zhongli Wu couldn’t help but tremble, and said in panic:
“Mother, you are seriously injured. Can I…”

Ye Xishui showed murderous intent on his face: “You go down first.” He turned his head and looked at Long Xiaoyao beside him and asked angrily:
“Why didn’t you go after Moon? If you had gone with Xiao Wu, how could he have been injured by Moon?”

Under the influence of love and guilt in his heart, Long Xiaoyao actually forgot that it was she who asked him not to go, and now she turned around and blamed him, and apologized sincerely:

“Xishui, I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t know that Moon would personally lead people to attack Mingde Hall. When I arrived, he had already led his people away.”

Ye Xishui snorted coldly: “With your speed, how could you not catch up with them? You are just trying to find an excuse for yourself.”

“Xishui, how could you think of me like this…”

“Shut up! I don’t have the patience to listen to your nonsense anymore. Go and inform the other elders now to join forces with me to break the seal of this talisman in ten days.”

Long Xiaoyao nodded somewhat timidly. He wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the coldness on her face becoming increasingly intense, he didn’t know what to say.

After Long Xiaoyao left, Ye Xishui carefully looked at the talisman in front of him. The talisman was completely dark, as if all the light in the world could not penetrate it.

There was a depressing, heavy atmosphere around, which made people feel fear and awe involuntarily. Feeling the strong dark atmosphere above it, a trace of greed surged in Ye Xishui’s scarlet eyes:
“The dark aura emanating from this thing is so strong. Once I can master it, my plan will surely succeed. Moon, just wait for me to kill you in Shrek…”

One day later, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room, the handsome boy on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Meng Hongchen lying quietly beside him, Lin Dong felt a little helpless. He forced himself to stand up, but to his surprise, the pain in his body had disappeared. After carefully checking the injuries in his body, he grinned with some joy:
“Level 37! I didn’t expect that I could break through after just a nap. It seems that fighting is indeed the best way to improve your realm.”

Lin Dong’s excited shout startled Meng Hongchen, who was lying on the bed. When she saw Lin Dong sitting up, she blinked her sleepy eyes and was about to reach out to help him, but was blocked by Lin Dong.

“Ms. Meng, I’m fine. I don’t need your help. It’s been a while since the game ended. I should have won, right?”

After being stopped by Lin Dong, a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed across Meng Hongchen’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and smiled:

“Grandpa discussed it with the leader of the Body Sect and said it was a draw.”

Lin Dong’s expression changed: “Then what about the bet? The Body Sect’s second awakening secret method can’t just run away like that.”

Looking at his regretful face after losing his treasure, Meng Hongchen said with some resentment:
“Don’t worry, your baby won’t get away. Since your injuries have healed, Grandpa and the others are waiting in the living room. They said they will discuss the bet with you after you wake up.”

After hearing this, Lin Dong said anxiously: “Then let’s go quickly, what are you waiting for.”

Without waiting for Meng Hongchen to answer, he jumped off the bed and ran towards the living room.

Meng Hongchen rolled his eyes beautifully, with a very interesting expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him.

Arriving at the reception room, Lin Dong waved his hand and greeted everyone who was gathered there, then went straight to the point:
“Seniors, I heard that you were waiting for me. I wonder how the discussion on the bet went.”

Everyone looked at the lively Lin Dong with a look of surprise. You know, Jin Ke, who was injured with him, never woke up once.

This guy is really an indestructible cockroach. Just looking at his recovery ability, I’m afraid even a Titled Douluo can’t compare to him. Jing Hongchen stood up with some joy and helped Lin Dong sit on the stool:
“It’s good that you woke up. Haha, Poison Sect Master, since Lin Dong is here, we have to talk about what you think.”

Du Bu Si’s eyes flickered with a faint gleam of brilliance, and he said slowly, “You guys talk first, I’m listening.”

Jing Hongchen glanced at Lin Dong and said in a calm tone:
“Although both of you stepped out of bounds at the same time, judging from your recovery, Lin Dong is clearly better. I will not take advantage of you. We are nominally tied, but we want to use all the rewards from this competition to exchange for the secret method of the Body Sect. What do you think?”

Du Bu Si snorted coldly: “You’ve said all the good things. Since it’s a draw, shouldn’t we both stop and void the reward?”

Without waiting for Jing Hongchen to answer, Lin Dong smiled and said, “Then Master Du, I am indeed determined to obtain this secret technique. Why don’t you let Jin Ke fight me again?”

Du Bu Si’s eyelids twitched as he looked at Lin Dong who kept calling him “fight”. Before he could speak, Jin Peng on the other side said anxiously:

“Master! No, Master. The secret of the body spirit is a secret of our sect. Unless he joins the body sect, it is absolutely impossible.”

Du Bu Si raised his hand slightly, signaling him to be quiet, then turned to look at Lin Dong and said:

“It is naturally unrealistic to let Jin Ke fight with you, but… judging from the competition, you do have some advantages. I have a request. If you can agree, I will agree to pass on my sect’s secret method to you.”

“any request?”

A sly look flashed across Du Bu Si’s eyes, and he smiled playfully: “Come to my Benti Sect to practice for a year.”

Lin Dong was stunned after hearing this. He didn’t expect Du Bu Si to make such a request. Jing Hongchen snorted coldly:
“Du Bu Si, don’t think I don’t know what you are up to. You just want to take this opportunity to keep Lin Dong in the Body Sect. If he goes, what will happen if you force him to stay?”

Du Bu Si was not angry at his tone, and turned to Lin Dong with a hint of expectation:
“I am asking Lin Dong. Moreover, my request is also related to the second awakening of the original martial spirit. Lin Dong, tell me your answer.”
