Su Yu opened the door, her pupils constricting.
"What happened to you two seniors?"
At the door stood none other than Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi.
Their condition wasn't good at the moment.
Su Yu realized something, ushering them inside and glancing around the door a couple of times. Not finding anyone suspicious, she locked the door before continuing to inquire of Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi.
"What happened to you two seniors?"
Xuanzi was in a bad state, even though he was suppressing his injuries with Soul Power, he still appeared very weak.
Yan Shaozhe was slightly better off.
Strangely, though they were in a bad condition, their bodies showed no obvious wounds.
Could it be a spiritual wound?
Considering the spiritual injury and their identities, Su Yu instantly thought of the Evil Demon Forest as the source of harm.
Could it be that they were heavily injured by the Evil Emperor?
"Cough cough, Elder Xuan and I were intercepted by the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Team and couldn't pass through the normal route, so we had to detour through the Evil Demon Forest."
Su Yu listened quietly to Yan Shaozhe's description.
They had joked about how unreliable Shrek was while on the road.
Even though it was agreed that there should be no unexpected events, an unexpected event occurred, and Xuanzi lurking in the shadows was discovered.
Simply ludicrous.
Su Yu didn't question them on the spot face to face, as Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi would surely blame the Evil Soul Masters.
What could she say then?
So she didn't ask.
"We were just passing by, but didn't expect the Evil Emperor to discover us and directly launch an attack."
Recalling the horror of the Evil Emperor, fear still lingered in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
If Elder Xuan hadn't blocked most of the attack, he probably wouldn't have withstood it.
Obviously, they hadn't acted against the Evil Eye Race nor made any excessive moves.
That Evil Emperor acted as if he had taken some drug, launching an attack right away.
Simply ludicrous!
Even now, Yan Shaozhe couldn't understand why the Evil Emperor was so crazy.
Little did he know, the Evil Emperor saw two Super Douluo arriving at the Evil Demon Forest and figured they wouldn't come for no reason, so he attacked first.
Hmph, two Super Douluo teamed up to visit, if not for the Evil Eye Race, then what?
...
After hearing Yan Shaozhe's account, Su Yu and Medical Immortal Douluo, Wang Xian'er, both fell silent.
Really tragic.
First attacked by the Evil Emperor, luckily escaping, and in poor condition, they were then bombarded by Sun and Moon Army stationed outside the Evil Demon Forest.
Crucially, the batch of shells launched by the Sun and Moon Army all included kinds of vibration bombs, making them feel even worse.
Not only was their already severely affected Spiritual Power even more chaotic, but their internal Soul Power and organs were also numb from the shock.
Externally, they seemed relatively unharmed, but internally and spiritually, they suffered serious damage.
"Elder Wang, we need your help," Yan Shaozhe said to Wang Xian'er.
They sought out Medical Immortal Douluo for healing, hoping to recover quickly.
"Elder Xuan's injuries are more severe, and because his Soul Power is too high, the effectiveness of my treatment will be greatly reduced. It might take quite some time, perhaps half a month to condition him. Regarding your injuries, I can help you recover quickly."
Yan Shaozhe appeared capable of normal activity, perhaps able to recover quickly.
At least it wouldn't affect his ability to perform.
...
Royal Palace Back Mountain.
"Without you mentioning it, I was already preparing to be vigilant recently."
Kong Deming, upon hearing Su Yu's encounter today, also disapproved of Long Xiaoyao. Using his strength to coerce a junior for secrets did not befit his status.
The main issue was that Long Xiaoyao was coercing his disciple, Kong Deming.
Knowing his strength yet still acting this way, did he truly think he was nonexistent?
"By the way, this is the intelligence from the Evil Demon Forest," Kong Deming said, handing the intel he obtained to Su Yu.
Su Yu perused the intel from his teacher, feeling utterly speechless.
Two mysterious powerful figures clashed with the Evil Emperor, escaping from the Evil Demon Forest, forced to use one Ninth-level Vibration Cannon, three Eighth-level Vibration Cannons, one Level 9 Bursting Bomb, and ten Eighth-level Bursting Bombs...
Could the two mysterious figures be Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi, intercepted by the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Team?
Did they bypass the Evil Demon Forest?
Truly tragic.
Even directly breaking through the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Team blockade might not be as risky as bypassing the Evil Demon Forest.
One at Level 97 and the other at Level 98, Su Yu didn't believe they could contend with the Evil Emperor.
They were likely beaten with no room for retaliation.
It's already fortunate they escaped.
Then they were bombarded by the army stationed outside the Evil Demon Forest with Soul-guided Cannon strikes.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"Aren't they stubbornly planning to infiltrate Mingdu?" Su Yu thought to himself.
"Although their escape was toward the south, I expect both will eventually arrive in Mingdu," Kong Deming said.
"Mingdu is chaotic now, and despite their injuries, their capabilities should allow them to blend in."
Su Yu nodded in agreement upon hearing his teacher's explanation.
What use could the heavily injured duo have?
"We don't know the extent of their injuries."
Perhaps their strength remains unaffected; perhaps they are in a dire situation, gearing up for one last fight...
This is why Kong Deming said he was prepared to monitor the situation in Mingdu for a while.
Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi were already a significant threat.
During the Mingdu tournament, the damage these two could cause was immense. The defensive installations of Mingdu couldn't be activated, or too many would be buried with them.
