Taotie Douluo's Threats, Dragon God Douluo's Enticement

"Dragon God Douluo, Mu En."

Tang Feng stopped in his tracks.

With Mu En standing ahead of him, it truly would not be easy for him to get through.

Trying to force his way through with the Divine Path Domain alone would likely cost an unimaginable amount.

Xuan Zi might have been a 98th Level Super Douluo.

But in terms of actual combat strength, he and Dragon God Douluo were worlds apart.

More importantly, Tang Feng could not quite figure out Mu En's intentions. What exactly did he want?

"Child, this old man can tell you the truth you wish to know."

Mu En wore a kindly expression.

He knew better than anyone the truth behind the Tang Sect's destruction back then.

It had been because of his order.

That Yan Shaozhe had made it to Heaven Dou City in time to rescue Tang Kun, his wife, and Tang Ya.

Mu En simply had not expected Yan Shaozhe to botch the matter so badly.

It had clearly been an excellent opportunity, yet things had ended up like this.

"Elder Mu, why waste words on a spy? Just capture him and bring him back."

From far away, Xuan Zi saw that Tang Feng had already been intercepted by Mu En and was now a turtle in a jar.

Tang Feng's Level 9 Defensive Soul Tools had likely long since lost their effect after blocking several of Xuan Zi's attacks.

Even if Mu En had not come, Xuan Zi was confident he could stop Tang Feng and escort him back to Shrek Academy for punishment.

"Xuan Zi, shut up!"

Mu En felt exhausted.

His carefully laid plans had been utterly mangled by Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi.

Whether Tang Ya or Tang Feng came to Shrek Academy, both had been part of his plan.

But Ma Xiaotao and Xuan Zi, these two unexpected Cheng Yaojins, had truly caught him off guard!

"Elder Mu, this brat is a spy from the Sun Moon Empire. We must capture him."

Xuan Zi pointed at Tang Feng.

He was utterly convinced that this brat was a spy from the Sun Moon Empire, because Tang Feng possessed more than one Level 9 Defensive Soul Tool.

As long as they captured Tang Feng, the Shrek Soul Tool Department would gain at least two Level 9 Defensive Soul Tools to study.

Otherwise, Tang Feng would have long since been captured and could never have slipped away from the Elders of Sea God Pavilion.

"Do you think Xu Jiawei is as brainless as you are?"

Mu En forcibly suppressed his anger.

The main issue was that if they truly came to blows, they might not benefit from it at all.

If they truly killed Tang Feng, it could very well trigger a Deus Ex Machina, and even Shrek would cease to exist.

Tang Feng was simply too unusual.

His Twin Ultimate Martial Souls were not actually all that heaven-defying.

What Mu En truly feared—

Was the Life Force enveloping the Power of Destruction, creating Ma Xiaotao's current death trap.

As the Sea God Pavilion Master, he knew secrets that others did not.

There were Five Great God Kings in the God Realm, and Ancestor Tang San was one of them—the Shura God King.

Besides the Shura God King, there were also the God Kings of Kindness, Evil, Life, and Destruction.

This should have been an unexpected stroke of fortune for Mu En, yet it had now been ruined.

"Whether it was Xiaotao's fault or the mistakes of Shaozhe and Xuan Zi, Sea God Pavilion will compensate you."

"You may choose any three treasures from Sea God Pavilion's collection, and this old man can represent Sea God Pavilion in allowing you to cultivate within the Golden Ancient Tree."

Mu En displayed tremendous sincerity.

He was not like Yan Shaozhe, who had even been stingy over two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.

Among the three treasures he promised were items comparable to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.

"Elder Mu, do you think I would still believe you?"

"You do not realize you were wrong. You simply know that Ma Xiaotao and you are both going to die."

Tang Feng stared at them coldly.

Right now, he was the only person in the world who could treat Ma Xiaotao and Mu En.

If Ma Xiaotao died, then she died.

She was merely a Soul Emperor, and her death would have limited impact on Shrek Academy.

But Dragon God Douluo Mu En was different.

He was the master of Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy's strongest fighting force, and Shrek's stabilizing pillar.

Even if Sea God Pavilion used its vast resources to push Xuan Zi to Limit Douluo, the gap between his strength and Mu En's would still be immense.

"This brat dared to curse you. We cannot spare him."

Xuan Zi raised his hand and struck with his palm.

He summoned his martial soul, the Godly Taotie Bull, and sent a palm carrying the force of Qian Jun straight at Tang Feng.

"Xuan Zi!"

Before Tang Feng could make a move.

Mu En immediately met the attack with a palm strike, sending Xuan Zi staggering back more than ten steps before he barely managed to steady himself.

He had always known Xuan Zi was useless, but he had not expected him to be completely brainless.

If they could have forcibly captured Tang Feng and taken him back, would Mu En have needed to say so much?

Sea God Pavilion did not fear the Star Luo Empire, but it feared the Deity behind Tang Feng.

Before a Deity.

Even Limit Douluos were still ants.

"Elder Mu, why are you protecting this spy?"

Xuan Zi was utterly stunned by the blow.

He truly could not understand why a spy from the Sun Moon Empire was worth Mu En's protection.

Wasn't it precisely because the Sun Moon Empire believed a genius with Ultimate Martial Souls could never be treated as a spy by Shrek that they dared send him here?

Tang Feng's identity in the Star Luo Empire was merely a smokescreen.

It was even possible that some members of the Star Luo imperial family had already defected to the Sun Moon Empire.

"Tang Feng, what will it take for you to save Xiaotao? Name any condition you want."

Yan Shaozhe painted a grand picture.

In any case, he would offer the terms first; whether he could fulfill them was another matter.

If time was delayed and Ma Xiaotao could not be saved, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Elder Mu, you have seen it for yourself."

"If I return to Shrek Academy with you, it would be no different from walking into a trap. Let us each go our separate ways."

Tang Feng remained unmoved.

He did not care about Sea God Pavilion's treasures at all. Only cultivating within the Golden Ancient Tree would offer him some benefit.

However, if he went directly into the Star Dou Great Forest and cooperated with Di Tian, he could achieve the same result.

At the center of the Lake of Life was a treasure like Spirit Gold, which could also help Tang Feng comprehend the true essence of life.

Once he healed the Silver Dragon King, could he not take as much Spirit Gold as he wanted?

"As for Ma Xiaotao?"

"I am a kind person and dislike killing, so I spared her life. But I have no desire to save her."

All the killing Tang Feng had done since childhood had been for the purpose of attaching soul rings.

Even Snow Empress and Ice Empress had been Sacrifices to him, which had nothing to do with killing.

He had always preferred healing the wounded and saving the dying. Keeping someone alive with their last breath was enough.

"Do not go too far!"

Xuan Zi snorted coldly.

Though this person was young, he was vicious to such an extent.

They could not save Ma Xiaotao. Were they supposed to kill her with their own hands?

Otherwise, it would be an enormous torment for both Ma Xiaotao and Sea God Pavilion.

"This is going too far?"

Tang Feng slightly extended his left hand.

Then he abruptly clenched it, and Ma Xiaotao's heart exploded from afar.

Like a blood-red firework blooming outside the Star Dou Great Forest, it was dazzling and beautiful.

"Teacher, it hurts..."

Ma Xiaotao woke from the pain.

Though Tang Feng had kept her alive, the agony of her heart exploding was all too real.

What was even more excessive was that after Ma Xiaotao's heart exploded, she still did not die.

A powerful Life Force stabilized the loss of vitality within her body and slowly began repairing her heart.

At the same time, the Life Force once more enveloped the Power of Destruction within it like a ticking bomb.

"Tell me, was the woman you encountered in Heaven Dou City named Feng Ling?"

Tang Feng could not be bothered to play Tai Chi with Yan Shaozhe.

In his memory, there were not many women capable of stopping Yan Shaozhe, and Feng Ling of the Holy Spirit Cult was highly likely to be one of them.

Tang Ya had once described how the two appeared to know each other, and the other woman was clearly in league with Netherworld Douluo.
