"Old man… my lifespan has reached its limit. I'm afraid I don't have much time left. To have taken Qingfeng as my disciple in my later years—I am deeply comforted…"
"My only regret is that my lifelong mastery has not yet been fully passed on to him. Even before death, I can't even see him one last time…"
"But no matter what, Qingfeng is the Sea God Pavilion's Saint Son, the disciple I value most. The academy's future must lie with him…"
"If I'm gone, you must still devote yourselves to assisting him, teaching him in my stead… Do not establish another Saint Son. The position of Saint Son was created for him, and it must also end with him…"
"As for future matters, they will likely have to be overseen by you, Elder Xuan. All the secrets of the Golden Tree are contained within this ring and must also be comprehended by you."
When Mu Lao said these words, the rampaging Xuanzi trembled all over. His massive body instantly shrank as he knelt before Mu Lao, tears streaming down his face.
Because he knew—these were Mu Lao's final words.
Once Mu Lao spoke like this, it meant he truly could not hold on any longer…
Especially at the end, when Mu Lao addressed Elder Xuan with honorifics, calling him "you."What an immense honor that was.
But Xuanzi searched his heart—was he truly worthy of it?
Mu Lao revealed a gentle smile. Then, he suddenly called out to Zhang Lexuan:
"Xuan'er…"
"I'm here, Mu Lao. I'm here."
Zhang Lexuan crouched down, tears welling in her eyes. To her, Mu Lao was her lifesaver, foster father, grandfather, and teacher—bearing multiple identities. It could be said that without Mu En, there would be no her today.
"Do you still remember our agreement?" Mu Lao asked, gasping for breath, as if he might die at any moment.
"I remember. I remember. I promised to help your descendant, Beibei, become his support. You raised me as Beibei's future wife—I remember."
Zhang Lexuan choked with sobs. She was the senior sister of the inner court; even figures like Dai Yueheng of the Shrek Seven Monsters regarded her as an idol. Yet facing the imminent passing of Mu Lao, she could not hold back her tears.
Mu Lao smiled with satisfaction and said calmly:
"Then… what about you? Do you like that child?"
Zhang Lexuan fell silent.
How could she answer?
If she denied it—would Mu Lao die with regrets?If she affirmed it—that would go against her own heart.
If not for Su Qingfeng's appearance, she might have simply accepted her fate.
But that brief encounter with Su Qingfeng in the Heavenly Pit had planted a seed of longing deep in her heart.
"Xuan'er… don't worry about anything… Just follow your heart when answering. Follow your heart in everything you do, and that will be enough…"
"Back then, when you had nothing, this old man merely wanted you to have a goal and to settle down—that's why I said those things. Now that you've grown up, those promises should all be decided by your own will."
"If you think well of Beibei and are willing to become his partner, that would naturally be good. If not, whoever you choose to be with—this old man… will bless you all the same…"
Mu Lao smiled as he spoke, still arranging matters for his disciples and descendants even at the moment of death. It was as if his entire life had been lived for those who came after him.
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan trembled all over. A heavy burden in her heart was finally lifted. She immediately knelt before Mu Lao and said respectfully:
"Mu Lao's great kindness—Lexuan will never forget it in this lifetime!"
"Alright… you all go now. Make the evil soul masters pay some price, but do not fight to the death. Leave some sparks alive for the academy…"
After saying this, Mu Lao's body slackened in the wheelchair. On Sea God Island, only Long Xiaoyao and Mu Lao remained.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the past—but they could never go back again.
At this moment, all grudges and emotions seemed unimportant, allowed to drift away with the wind…
While Sea God Island was so peaceful, outside Shrek City was utter chaos.
Thousands upon thousands had already died. Corpses were piled into small mountains, and human blood gathered into pools.
In such an environment, the evil soul masters only grew stronger with each battle. Some could absorb the power of the dead, others the power of blood…
Xu Sanshi led two teams—one Soul Saint–level team and one Seventh-Rank Soul Engineer Corps—around to Shrek's rear, finding the location where Jiang Nannan was fighting amid the chaos.
His expression instantly turned cold. Pointing at Jiang Nannan, he said:
"Whichever of you two teams captures her for me will receive the qualification to be promoted into the Empire's Eighth-Rank Soul (Engineer) Corps."
"Yes!"
"We've long wanted to test the core team of Shrek Academy! Let's see just how far these youngsters have come!"
The two Seventh-Rank teams infiltrated simultaneously, launching a decisive ambush on the New Shrek Seven Monsters where Jiang Nannan was located.
Jiang Nannan and the others were already fighting in a bloody battle when they were suddenly attacked from behind by two powerful Soul Saint–level teams, instantly scattering them.
Beibei, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and the others were all injured.
Three Soul Saints above level seventy revealed their Martial Soul True Bodies, surrounding Jiang Nannan.
The New Shrek Seven Monsters were plunged into a desperate fight.
Xu Sanshi revealed a lewd smile as he watched Jiang Nannan grow increasingly exhausted. The former outer-court goddess had fallen into such a miserable state, giving him a perverse sense of satisfaction.
Jiang Nannan, this is the price for betraying me.
Once this prince captures you, I'll trample and ravage you—let's see if you can still act aloof then!
You were willing to give yourself to Su Qingfeng after just one meeting, yet after I chased you for two or three years, I couldn't even get a good look from you. This—this is your retribution!
…
The battlefield of the Titled Douluo at Shrek Academy also began to collapse.
"So Shrek has fallen to this day. How could this old man miss it? I've waited for today far too long!"
"Mu En! Give me back my elder brother's life!"
An eerie voice rang out.
At first, the voice didn't seem loud, but once it reached the ears, it boomed like thunder exploding inside the mind.
Even more terrifying was that the voice covered the entire Shrek City. Just a few simple words made Shrek Academy feel as if dark clouds were pressing down, threatening to crush the city.
Yan Shaozhe and the others looked up, faces changing drastically.
"Du Busi! The Body Sect has arrived—this is bad!"
"Fall back to defend!"
Yan Shaozhe immediately issued the order.
At the same time, streaks of intense light shot into the sky. Counting them, there were more than twenty. Each beam condensed without dispersing. Especially the foremost dark-green pillar of light—it was extremely thick, its radiance almost eclipsing all the others behind it.
From within that dark-green glow, a figure slowly emerged.
It was a tall elderly man with long dark-green hair draped behind him. Yet somewhat amusingly, the top of his head was bald—completely shiny.
His face was rosy like an infant's, with barely any wrinkles. The only thing revealing his age was the deep sense of time in his dark-green eyes.
Behind him, more than twenty beams of light lined up, gradually revealing their figures—each different in form, yet all able to hover in midair purely by cultivation. Every one of them was a peak expert.
One must know that for soul masters without flying-type martial souls, even at the Soul Saint level, flight in the air could only be brief. Only above the eighth ring could one hover like this, and only Titled Douluo could sustain long-term flight through sheer soul power.
In other words, all twenty-plus figures in the air were at least eight-ring cultivators!
These twenty-plus alone were enough to shatter the original balance of the battlefield.
The Body Sect Master, Du Busi, led the experts of the Body Sect into the war!
Transformed into a towering dark-green giant, Du Busi ran through the void in huge strides, trampling Shrek disciples underfoot. Even Elder Zhuang couldn't save them in time—more than ten died instantly.
"The Body Sect has joined the battle! Hehe, this time, even if Shrek Academy doesn't fall, it won't survive intact!"
"Charge!"
Farther away, careful observation revealed yet another special group of soul engineer corps watching the battle.
They were none other than the experts of the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall—Jing Hongchen and his people.
Though they hadn't directly joined the fight, they wanted to know the outcome as soon as possible, and perhaps even—
Reap the benefits as fishermen.
