Tang Feng's expression turned icy.
At this moment, Mu En had no intention of making a move.
Clearly, he had tacitly approved of Xuan Zi's actions and wanted to keep Tang Feng here as well.
Or rather, he was testing whether the Deity behind Tang Feng would choose to intervene.
Fortunately, Tang Feng had come prepared. He directly had Snow Empress control his martial soul and strike at the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since Mu En had allowed Xuan Zi to capture him, he certainly would not sit still and await his fate.
"Dragon God Douluo!"
The newcomer wore black and was exceedingly handsome.
He appeared to be only thirty or forty years old, yet his eyes were golden.
Di Tian's aura was immensely powerful.
His appearance struck fear into the surrounding soul beasts. Even powerful Titled Douluo would tremble before him.
"Beast God Ditian!"
Xuan Zi's face darkened.
The hand reaching for Tang Feng abruptly halted. Xuan Zi did not dare continue acting so recklessly.
Now that Beast God Ditian had appeared, Xuan Zi had no choice but to postpone his attack. Di Tian could not possibly stand with Shrek.
Soul beasts and soul masters were natural enemies. Soul masters had to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings in order to advance. The two sides were fated to be mortal foes.
"Does Shrek Academy intend to wage war against the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Di Tian's expression was grave.
The Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En had led all the Elders of Sea God Pavilion to gather outside the Star Dou Great Forest. That was absolutely no good sign.
Could Snow Empress's sword strike just now have been meant to warn the Fierce Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest?
"Shrek Academy has no intention of becoming enemies with the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Our entire group came out this time solely to bring this child back."
Mu En was extremely courteous toward Di Tian.
Although he was a Limit Douluo, he did not dare claim to possess the strength to contend with Di Tian.
Leaving aside how Mu En's old injuries had damaged his foundation, Di Tian's Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core alone placed his strength above Mu En's.
Did they really think the Beast God Ditian, with more than eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, could be compared to an ordinary Limit Douluo?
"Snow Empress... you actually sacrificed yourself to a human?"
Di Tian carefully examined Snow Empress.
Only now did he notice that her body carried the aura of a god.
Di Tian could be considered an old acquaintance of this ruler of the Extreme North.
"You have good judgment. You actually chose to sacrifice yourself to him."
Di Tian looked Tang Feng up and down.
More than five years had passed, and the boy no longer looked the same as he had in childhood.
Yet Di Tian could never mistake that Deity aura on Tang Feng's body.
It belonged to the Goddess of Life, not some ordinary Deity.
"For the sake of our old friendship."
"Di Tian, could you protect him once?"
Snow Empress spoke slowly.
In her view, Tang Feng did not have any bargaining chips to trade with Di Tian.
They had already reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Given the identities of Snow Empress and Ice Empress as Fierce Beasts, Di Tian should not refuse.
After all, it was merely a small favor to Di Tian.
"Shrek is hunting him down?"
Di Tian stared at Mu En strangely.
If he remembered correctly, several years ago, he had seen the figure of Dragon God Douluo above Heaven Dou City.
Mu En had not rushed to take Tang Feng as his disciple, painstakingly nurture him, and recreate Shrek Academy's glory from Ten Thousand Years Ago?
"These old bastards from Sea God Pavilion want to take Xiao Feng back to Shrek and use him as a healing tool."
Ice Empress floated out as well.
If she and Snow Empress had joined forces at their peak, they could have gone head-to-head with Di Tian.
Unfortunately, after sacrificing themselves to Tang Feng, they could now mobilize at most the Soul Power of a Soul Ancestor.
Even if the two acted together, their combat strength was still inferior to Tang Feng's own.
Who could blame Tang Feng for having so many Divine Skills that defied all reason?
"Ice Empress sacrificed herself to him as well."
Di Tian roughly understood.
It seemed that all the treasures of the Extreme North had been staked on Tang Feng.
Still, that was only natural. He was the inheritor of the Goddess of Life and likely disliked slaughter as well.
"Dragon God Douluo, was this your intention too?"
Di Tian revealed a faint sneer.
Sea God Pavilion perhaps did not know that the husband of the Goddess of Life was the God of Destruction of the God Realm.
Even he, the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, would not dare pursue Tang Feng.
That would be tantamount to offending two God Kings at once. Not even Asura God Tang San could shield them then.
Shrek Academy was truly going backward with age.
"Di Tian, we did not come for you."
"Are you declaring war on Shrek Academy by obstructing Sea God Pavilion from capturing a traitor?"
Xuan Zi attacked again.
His body became an afterimage as he lunged for Tang Feng. Sure enough, delay bred complications.
There could be no room for negotiation.
In Xuan Zi's view, Tang Feng absolutely could not be allowed to escape, or he would become a serious threat in the future.
Especially since the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei thought so highly of Tang Feng.
Once Tang Feng returned to Star Luo City, he would surely drive a wedge between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire.
"Divine Path Domain!"
Tang Feng unleashed his domain once more.
His body drifted lightly backward, landing behind Di Tian. Xuan Zi stopped again.
If Di Tian was willing to help him, Tang Feng would naturally be grateful. He could offer a better price in the future.
"Xuan Zi, sooner or later, I'll smash your dog head."
A cold smile played at Tang Feng's lips.
So these two old bastards were birds of a feather. Mu En had merely been putting on a show earlier.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Xuan Zi flew into a rage.
As the vice master of Sea God Pavilion and a level ninety-eight Super Douluo, who would not treat him with utmost respect?
Within all of Sea God Pavilion, he acknowledged only Mu En. Across the entire continent, there were only a few Super Douluo who dared insult him, Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi.
Yet today, he had been provoked by a mere Soul Ancestor. Did he not have any dignity?
"Dragon God Douluo, you were in Heaven Dou City when this child awakened his martial soul, weren't you?"
"How could this king possibly believe that you knew nothing of his identity?"
Di Tian's eyes gleamed with interest.
Even without Snow Empress and Ice Empress, he would still protect Tang Feng.
He only wished to form a good bond with Tang Feng.
Once Tang Feng ascended to the God Realm in the future, perhaps he could improve the current situation of the Soul Beast Clan.
Di Tian had been deeply disappointed in Tang San, the Blue Silver Emperor, the Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape.
After those soul beasts ascended to the God Realm, they had forgotten the kin who had once suffered alongside them.
For more than ten thousand years, they had not provided their fellow soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest with the slightest assistance.
Perhaps the kindest Goddess of Life could bring about a different outcome.
"So you had known about me all along."
Tang Feng scrutinized Mu En.
He had not expected Mu En to have discovered his identity even back then.
If that was the case, he could not fully trust Mu En's words regarding the Holy Spirit Cult's attack on the Tang Sect and Tang Ya being rescued by Yan Shaozhe.
Perhaps Mu En had deliberately drawn the Holy Spirit Cult to Heaven Dou City in order to create the image of a savior.
As the master of Sea God Pavilion, Mu En's movements were very likely watched constantly.
For instance, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao of the Holy Spirit Cult might have been quite interested.
"That's right. This old man has long known of your existence."
"If Wang Xian'er had not been more suited to you, this old man would have appeared then and brought you back to Shrek Academy."
Mu En admitted it frankly.
Although Elder Zhuang's Tree of Life was outstanding in the field of healing, it was ultimately still inferior to Wang Xian'er's.
By following Wang Xian'er, Tang Feng could learn better healing methods.
It was only that Mu En had never expected this little fellow's Ultimate Life to develop into an assault-type martial soul.
Tang Feng's fierce battle style had virtually nothing to do with support-type or control-type martial souls. It was even more assault-oriented than an assault-type martial soul.
