Capturing the Spirit Snake, Progress on the Divine Trials

"Teacher Su, could you let me leave? I have some urgent business at home..."

Mo Xiaoyu spoke haltingly and in a low voice to Su He, her trembling figure revealing her nervousness.

"Xiao Yu, where are you going?"

Liu Erlong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up. During her time at Shrek, she had been closest to Mo Xiaoyu. Now, hearing that the latter was suddenly leaving, she couldn't help but worry.

"Teacher Erlong, don't worry about me, I just have some urgent business to attend to at home."

Mo Xiaoyu forced a smile, but anyone could tell that something was wrong.

Just as Liu Erlong was about to press for more details, Su He's voice came.

"Alright, since that's the case, the Spirit Hall is also a reasonable place."

"The statement is almost complete. I can make an exception and allow you to leave. Come with me."

Su He smiled slightly and pointed to the door.

"Thank you, Teacher Su!"

Mo Xiaoyu suppressed her joy, gave a shy smile, and followed Su He out. No matter how Liu Erlong called after her, she never turned around again.

For Mo Xiaoyu, every extra second spent in Spirit City was a profound torment. The feeling of having a sharp sword hanging over her head at any moment filled her with terror, to the point that she had lost the ability to think rationally and only wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

Ironically, how could Su He, with his Golden Eyes of Disillusionment, not see through her true form? It can only be said that Mo Xiaoyu's actions were like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Mo Xiaoyu followed Su He slowly out of the detention center. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw a cruel sneer on Su He's lips.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously, the instinct of snake-like Soul Beast to seek advantage and avoid harm. Alarm bells rang in Mo Xiaoyu's mind, and she cried out that something was wrong, but it was already too late.

Su He lightly struck the back of Mo Xiaoyu's neck with a hand blade, and Mo Xiaoyu's vision went black; she lost consciousness.

From then on, no one ever saw her again. No matter how much the Shrek Academy group searched for her throughout Spirit City after being released, they could not find her anywhere.

When Mo Xiaoyu woke up again, she was in a dark dungeon. Several of the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall, as well as Su He and Qian Renxue, were present.

The crowd looked at her with fervent excitement. Mo Xiaoyu considered herself to be quite beautiful, but she clearly knew that what these people coveted was not her beauty, but her... Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Shrek's interrogation also ended shortly afterward. Flender was punished by the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire for allegedly engaging in fraudulent activities in Suotuo City. He was fined 10,000 Gold Soul Coin and had to pay them off within one month, which gave him a huge headache.

Zhao Wuji's wanted poster was still hanging in Spirit City, but since Zhao Wuji didn't get involved with the Shrek Academy this time, he escaped unscathed.

Otherwise, even though Su He had met him a few times, she would still have taken action to arrest him.

Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were "kindly" informed by Bibi Dong through someone to Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. When the old dragon heard the news that the two were together again, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but there was nothing he could do.

Liu Erlong has considerable talent, already reaching level 78 Soul Sage. Even among the many experts in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, there are very few who can defeat her. It's impossible to keep her locked up and under strict guard every day; they simply don't have that kind of experience.

The spread of the scandal was inevitable. Those present were not only from the Spirit Hall, but also contestants from other forces and academies. To protect the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen had no choice but to issue a statement severing his father-son relationship with Yu Xiaogang under pressure and demands from several Blue Lightning elders, and the two would never speak to each other again.

Dai Mubai was forcibly taken back to the Star Luo Empire by Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuqing left the Star Luo Empire and joined the Spirit Hall, Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Oscar joined the Spirit Hall, Tang San was taken away by Bo Saixi and his fate was unknown, Mo Xiaoyu went missing.

The remaining Ma Hongjun, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu wandered aimlessly through Spirit City. They hadn't committed any overt wrongdoing. Although Ma Hongjun was arrogant and a frequent visitor to brothels, these actions were all within the bounds of the law, so the Spirit Hall had no reason to arrest them.

Shrek has completely fallen apart. The legendary group of main characters from the Original Work will now go their separate ways and may never reunite.

Having resolved matters within Spirit City, Su He focused all his energy on the Divine Trial. Having already wasted some time, he now needed to resolve his Second Trial as soon as possible.

Qian Renxue was naturally not idle either. Her Seventh Trial was to completely unleash the power of the Angel Divine Sword, which was also a great challenge for her.

Su He greeted her elders and then entered the Realm of Destruction, where she remained for another three months.

Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have returned from the Sun Moon Continent, bringing with them some very good news.

The Patriarch Hongchen has broken through the Titled Douluo and advanced to the Rank 9 Soul Engineer, becoming the only Rank 9 Soul Engineer in history on the Sun Moon Continent. The large-scale spatial channel Soul Tool has been developed and will soon be put into use. Although the technology is still unstable, it is only a matter of time before the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent can achieve long-distance travel.

The Spirit Hall's branch offices maintained a well-ordered relationship with the royal family and the Xu Family on the Sun Moon Continent, with both sides keeping to themselves and occasionally engaging in political cooperation. This mutually beneficial situation was exactly what the Spirit Hall wanted to see.

Bibi Dong, on the other hand, has been behaving very strangely lately.

According to Qian Daoliu, a strange aura emanating from her was rapidly amplifying. Su He had also ventured into the Realm of Destruction during this time, and he knew that confronting Bibi Dong was now of utmost urgency.

The latter's Rakshasa God's Trial must have reached its later stages, and its erosion of her original heart is becoming increasingly powerful. If nothing is done soon, she will have to watch helplessly as Bibi Dong becomes the madman who launched the Spirit Hunting Operation in the Original Work.

Su He was extremely anxious and spent day and night in the Realm of Destruction researching how to purify Soul Power, and finally made some progress.

Su He's Annihilation Divine Power is now more than five times purer than before, and its destructive power has also improved significantly. If he were to encounter Titan Giant Ape again now, even if the latter's skin has the characteristics of being as hard as a rock, it would be corroded by the terrifying Annihilation Divine Power.

The barren landscape around the Destruction Divine Hall in the Divine Realm seems to have a reason. Such power is inherently ominous; without the God King of Life as his companion, the God King of Destruction's life would be destined to be Heavenly Fiend.
