I, the Clear Sky Sect, Will Never Give Huo Yuhao So Much as a Needle or Thread

"Something's wrong—run!"

Thanks to his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, although Huo Yuhao's Soul Power was low, he was the first to notice that something was wrong with Ma Xiaotao.

Wang Dong'er still did not understand what was happening, but when Huo Yuhao activated his first soul skill, Vision Sharing, she instantly understood. She grabbed Huo Yuhao and tried to flee.

But Wang Dong'er was only a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster herself, and with the burden of Huo Yuhao—who could not help her accelerate and only added to her weight—there was no way the two of them could escape Ma Xiaotao's pursuit in her crazed state.

As the distance between the three closed to a certain point, Ma Xiaotao's flames shot toward them. Without his Spirit Shock soul skill, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er could not even briefly hold Ma Xiaotao back.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was, after all, the Son of Destiny. He could not be killed so easily. Just as the flames reached their clothes, a thunderous shout jolted Ma Xiaotao's body and sent her flying.

"Don't even think about hurting my little Dong'er!"

Thanks to the time difference between the God Realm and the Douluo World, Erming, who had come to Shrek on Tang San's orders to watch over Huo Yuhao, had only just arrived when he saw Ma Xiaotao trying to kill Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao.

With one fierce shout, Erming the Titan Giant Ape forced Ma Xiaotao back. He then quickly arrived beside Wang Dong'er and raised a hand to extinguish the flames on her clothes.

Then Erming looked at Huo Yuhao, a faint killing intent seemingly flickering in his eyes.

"Second Dad, help Yuhao! The fire's already on him!"

"Hmph." Erming the Titan Giant Ape snorted, then slapped out the flames on Huo Yuhao's body. However, he used slightly too much force, sending Huo Yuhao tumbling face-first into the ground.

"Yuhao!"

Seeing the burns on Huo Yuhao's back, Wang Dong'er shot her Second Dad a displeased look. She had a feeling that he had deliberately delayed just enough to let Huo Yuhao suffer some injuries.

Glared at by his little princess, Erming silently turned his head away. He had indeed done it on purpose. Whenever he thought about how Huo Yuhao would one day steal Wang Dong'er away, he could not bring himself to like the boy.

Especially after Wang Dong'er had been put in danger this time while Huo Yuhao had failed to protect her, Erming found Huo Yuhao even more irritating.

As he avoided Wang Dong'er's gaze, Erming looked toward Ma Xiaotao, whom his shout had knocked back.

As the instigator behind Wang Dong'er's peril, Ma Xiaotao had only been spared his full strength earlier because he feared harming Wang Dong'er. But now that Wang Dong'er and Ma Xiaotao were separated...

"Anyone who dares hurt my little Dong'er, die!"

Erming threw a punch. Though it was only an ordinary punch, backed by the Soul Power of a peak rank ninety-eight, even a Titled Douluo would lose half their life if struck by it.

Just as Ma Xiaotao was about to die, fortunately, this was Shrek. Although most people in Shrek were unreliable, there was still someone who could truly get things done at a time like this.

Guided by a wisp of Soul Power, Ma Xiaotao was pulled aside, narrowly avoiding Erming the Titan Giant Ape's punch.

Erming the Titan Giant Ape frowned and looked toward a hunched old man in the distance. Though the old man gave off no aura, his Soul Power control had been so exquisite, allowing Ma Xiaotao to evade that punch at precisely the right moment while expending the least possible Soul Power. Erming knew this man was no ordinary person. He was likely the current Sea God Pavilion Master.

Erming watched him for a while. When Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe finally arrived, Mu En slowly walked back to his reclining chair, with no intention of saying or doing anything further.

Releasing a thread of Soul Power had no effect on his body, but if he fought Erming, he estimated that he could win—though he would not have more than a few days left to live afterward.

"This old man is Xuan Zi, deputy master of the Sea God Pavilion. May I ask who you are, sir?"

"Vice Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Titan."

Upon hearing the words "Clear Sky Sect," Xuan Zi and the others' pupils contracted, but they quickly returned to normal.

"So you are all descendants and inheritors of Lord Tang San, the Sea God. It is a misunderstanding, all of this is a misunderstanding. I am Yan Shaozhe, and on behalf of my disciple, I apologize to you and your descendant."

"Hmph!" Erming snorted, though his tone was clearly much gentler.

"Could we speak somewhere else?" Cold sweat trickled down Yan Shaozhe's face. He felt that Ma Xiaotao truly needed to be taught a harsh lesson this time. Of all people to try to kill, she had chosen someone from the Clear Sky Sect, whose strength was no weaker than the Sea God Pavilion's.

It was fortunate that she had not succeeded. Otherwise, Shrek would have been in danger.

"Fine. You had better give this old man a satisfactory explanation."

After comforting Wang Dong'er, Erming went with Xuan Zi and the others into the Sea God Pavilion.

Xuan Zi was mainly there to hold the fort. Although he could not defeat Erming, as another rank ninety-eight powerhouse, he could still provide some measure of deterrence.

As for the negotiations, Yan Shaozhe ultimately handled them. After all, the one who had hurt them was Yan Shaozhe's student, and in theory, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er could also be considered Yan Shaozhe's students.

After Erming the Titan Giant Ape sat in the Sea God Pavilion for a while, Yan Shaozhe approached him with a flattering smile and bowed. "Senior of the Clear Sky Sect, this matter is indeed Shrek's responsibility. We are willing to offer compensation."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe took out two jade boxes. When he opened them, one golden and one blue light rose from within.

"Senior, this is a fifty-thousand-year Left Leg Bone of the Light Horse, as well as a fifty-thousand-year Right Arm Bone of the Ice Cang Wolf. These are Shrek's gifts of apology for injuring your sect's geniuses. One soul bone for each of them. We hope you can forgive this matter."

Yan Shaozhe spoke humbly. Two soul bones that were each fifty thousand years old—his face was already filled with pain at the loss.

"One soul bone for each?" Erming the Titan Giant Ape frowned. One soul bone each meant that one of them was meant for Huo Yuhao.

At the thought that Huo Yuhao, the brat who would one day steal away their precious cabbage, would receive a soul bone because of him, Erming the Titan Giant Ape immediately could not sit still.

"No need! What do I need soul bones for? They're merely two soul bones. Do you think my Clear Sky Sect lacks them?"

"As long as little Dong'er wants them, how difficult would it be to equip her with a full set of soul bones? Take these things back. My Clear Sky Sect is not short of two soul bones."

"Senior, this... then what compensation would you consider appropriate?" Yan Shaozhe's face was full of agony, but it did not last long.

Erming the Titan Giant Ape, unwilling to give Huo Yuhao anything good, pondered for a moment before making his decision. "Upon careful thought, my punch earlier was somewhat impulsive as well. I nearly killed your student. In that sense, I was also at fault. Since little Dong'er is fine now, and your student is fine as well, let us forget the matter. After all, this old man is not an unreasonable person."

"Huh???"
