Boom!
As Zhongli Wu's words fell, an extremely terrifying pressure erupted from Xuanzi's body. He glared at the man who claimed to be the Sacred Spirit Cult's leader, and said, word by word, "Ma Xiaotao is not a dark soul master! She can't possibly become the saintess of your damned Sacred Spirit Cult! She is a student of our Shrek Academy!"
Xuanzi felt like he was losing control. He wanted to slap this arrogant bastard who was talking about welcoming Ma Xiaotao as their saintess to death.
But in the face of Xuanzi's denial, Zhongli Wu shrugged indifferently. "Say whatever you want. In any case, the Sacred Spirit Cult won't leave here before we achieve our goal. Before the fighting starts, I'll give you a friendly reminder."
"If we really do fight, perhaps those of you at the Titled Douluo level and above can escape, but the ordinary people of Shrek City, and those students of your Shrek Academy, I'm afraid not a single one will survive."
Even though Zhongli Wu said these words with a smile, they sent a chill down Xuanzi's spine.
Both the ordinary people of Shrek City and the teachers and students of Shrek Academy were plunged into fear of death.
Especially after witnessing firsthand the various hair-raising methods employed by the Death God's emissary and the other evil soul masters, they had no doubt that Zhongli Wu, the Sacred Spirit Cult's leader, meant what he said!
Just as Xuanzi was about to speak, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a very hunched figure flying out from Shrek Academy. The moment he saw Mu En, Xuanzi breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Don't let the fact that Mu En was suppressed by Kong Deming in Star Luo City fool you, if the battlefield was in Shrek City, with his absolute home-field advantage, Mu En could definitely take down Kong Deming! Xuanzi had that much confidence in his little shishu.
However, what he didn't expect was that Mu En didn't even glance at him or Zhongli Wu. Instead, he turned his head towards another direction and sighed.
"Brother Long, after so many years, why is this the situation the moment we meet?"
Brother Long?
Whether it was Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, or the others, upon hearing Mu En's address, they felt like they were facing a great enemy. The first name that popped into their heads was that of the Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao, who was once as famous as Mu En!
Under their gazes, Long Xiaoyao walked out of a restaurant, facing Mu En from afar. After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this either, but I must be true to the trust placed in me. I hope you won't make things difficult for me. Hand over Ma Xiaotao, and I'll have everyone from the Sacred Spirit Cult withdraw immediately."
It really was Long Xiaoyao!
As Long Xiaoyao's voice fell, Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe's hearts sank, their moods turning incredibly heavy.
Just what the hell was the Sacred Spirit Cult? How could they make Long Xiaoyao, an Ultimate Douluo, serve them willingly?
An Ultimate Douluo and a Level 98 Super Douluo – such power was definitely top-tier on the entire Douluo Continent!
However, even so, Shrek Academy absolutely couldn't hand over Ma Xiaotao!
During the Soul Master Academy Tournament, both Mu En and Xuanzi had repeatedly stated that Ma Xiaotao wasn't a Dark Soul Master, that Shrek Academy would never coexist with Dark Soul Masters, and that they would eliminate any Dark Soul Masters they found.
So, now, faced with the Sacred Spirit Cult, Shrek would just hand Ma Xiaotao over to them?
If they really did that, then Shrek's already dwindling reputation would likely suffer even more than that of the Sacred Spirit Cult, the Dark Soul Masters!
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly shouted.
"Teacher! We absolutely cannot hand Xiaotao over to them! We at Shrek Academy will absolutely not bow down to the evil soul masters!"
Mu En glanced back at Yan Shaozhe, a strange look in his eyes.
Long Xiaoyao didn't even bother to look at Yan Shaozhe, completely disregarding the words of Mu En's disciple.
Zhongli Wu watched Xuanzi with amusement, smiling as he spoke.
"Have you realized the reality of the situation now? We give you two choices: either hand over our Sacred Spirit Cult's Saintess, Ma Xiaotao, directly, or wait until we've killed everyone in Shrek City and take Ma Xiaotao away ourselves."
"Now, make your choice."
Xuanzi was so enraged that his body began to tremble slightly, but he didn't dare to make any decision, and could only hand the decision-making power to Mu En.
He really couldn't afford any wrong decisions now, otherwise, Mu En really wouldn't let him off.
Faced with the current situation, even Mu En didn't know what to do.
How wonderful, another dilemma.
Mu En didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face as he looked at Long Xiaoyao and said slowly, filled with emotion, "After so many years, are you still by her side?"
Even though Mu En didn't mention a name, Long Xiaoyao knew he was talking about Ye Xishui.
Even Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but recall the scene of the three of them traveling together, making a name for themselves on the continent, and being the most intimate of companions.
It was a pity that, ultimately, due to an accident, their relationship could never return to how it once was.
Long Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed slightly, and he shook his head gently.
"This is what I owe her."
From Long Xiaoyao's perspective, if it weren't for his lust at the time, their relationship would never have developed to this point. Back then, between him and Mu En, Ye Xishui had chosen Mu En!
His good friend's woman was taken by him on their wedding night. If he were in Mu En's shoes, Long Xiaoyao felt he absolutely wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
However, although Mu En had forgiven him, Ye Xishui never had.
Whenever Long Xiaoyao wanted to refuse to do something, Ye Xishui would bring up the events of that wedding night. Just like this time, when he came to Shrek Academy with Zhongli Wu and the others, Long Xiaoyao could only choose to compromise in the end.
Seeing Long Xiaoyao like this, Mu En couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
This guy was still as naive as ever when it came to love. After so many years, hadn't he noticed something was wrong? Didn't he realize that all of this was intentionally orchestrated by Ye Xishui, just to exploit his guilt and make him do things for her?
Or, had Long Xiaoyao already sensed this possibility, but because of his romantic nature, he just refused to admit it?
Mu En felt that, based on his understanding of his old friend Long Xiaoyao, the latter possibility was more likely.
Poor Long Xiaoyao, played like a fool by that wicked woman, Ye Xishui.
Mu En shook his head, filled with regret, and put away his nostalgic thoughts. He met Long Xiaoyao's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Although I know you're acting under duress, I can't allow you to take Xiaotao away."
Long Xiaoyao wasn't surprised by Mu En's answer and immediately nodded. "It doesn't matter. My mission is just to hold you back, to prevent you from interfering in the others' fight. Whether or not we can take Ma Xiaotao away depends on the others."
Hearing this, Mu En's eyes suddenly changed. He turned his head sharply and saw a sudden burst of flames erupting from within Shrek Academy, followed by continuous explosions!
