Shao Zhuang, Heir to a Godly Inheritance

A massive uproar immediately swept across the entire continent once this matter was exposed.

Of course, this referred to the human factions. The Soul Beasts practically wished for humanity to fight among themselves until they drove themselves to extinction, sparing the Soul Beasts the trouble of devising other methods.

"No way, Douluo Continent faced such a calamity back then?" someone said in disbelief.

It was not only the younger generation of Soul Masters; even most of the elderly people still alive from the previous era knew nothing of this matter.

After all, they had no way of knowing about the life-and-death battle Mu En and Long Xiaoyao fought every ten years.

So they knew even less about the cause of the incident, the specific circumstances, and the final outcome.

Only some elders from Shrek Academy who had lived in Mu En's era, such as Xuan Zi and Elder Song, knew of it.

Because of their status, Mu En had told them about it, and they had helped him devise plans and discuss the matter.

At that moment, however, what most people wanted to know was the outcome of that life-and-death battle.

After all, from the looks of things now, neither the Dragon God Douluo nor the Dragon Emperor Douluo had died, and Ye Xishui had not caused devastation across the continent back then.

Therefore, anyone could infer that there had to be more to the matter.

[But soon, an unexpected incident brought an end to the difficult choice between Mu En and me.]

[On the eve of the life-and-death battle, for some unknown reason, Mu En suddenly fought a great battle against Du Bisi, the Body Sect Master, and suffered irreversible injuries!]

[Because of this, the life-and-death battle between Mu En and me came to nothing. At the time, I was incomparably uneasy, for I had no way of knowing the so-called outcome, nor did I know what choice Xishui would make.]

[Fortunately, everything on the continent remained peaceful. The supposed devastation of all living beings was nothing but empty words.]

[The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled, but I knew there was still one task I had to accomplish: find Xishui and spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins.]

"Brother?!"

When Du Busi saw his deceased brother appear on the Heavenly Curtain, his emotions immediately erupted.

After all, Mu En had directly caused his brother's death.

Wait, why did everything happen so coincidentally? Du Busi suddenly noticed something suspicious.

Back then, he had thought it was due to some other reasons.

But now, when he considered Mu En and Long Xiaoyao's life-and-death battle, the situation was far from as simple as he had imagined.

Perhaps there was some hidden truth he did not know!

After all, the battle between his brother and Mu En had happened to bring Mu En and Long Xiaoyao's life-and-death battle to an end, sparing them from having to make that painful choice.

If he dared to speculate further, could someone have deliberately lured his brother there back then?

And had they done so precisely to stop the life-and-death battle between Mu En and Long Xiaoyao?

"That's entirely possible!!" The more Du Busi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

When he connected all these events, every aspect of them exuded a strange air. It was difficult not to make such a bold conjecture.

"Gather all the elders. We will head to Shrek Academy at once!!"

Du Busi quickly could not sit still any longer. He prepared to bring them to Shrek Academy and demand an explanation from Mu En.

If it truly had not been a coincidence, then even if he had to turn the entire continent upside down, Du Busi would find the true culprit behind this matter.

He would grind them to dust and scatter their ashes, to honor his brother's spirit in heaven!!

"Yes, Sect Master!" Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng immediately replied excitedly.

From what the Heavenly Curtain had revealed, he had naturally inferred that there was most likely some hidden truth behind the great battle between the former sect master Du Bisi and Mu En.

How could Jin Peng not be excited?

His thoughts naturally coincided with Du Busi's.

[Thus, I traveled across the continent under an assumed name, trying to find traces of Xishui.]

[Heaven did not disappoint those who persevered. Several decades later, I finally saw Xishui again.]

[At the same time, I learned an incomparably cruel truth.]

[Xishui, who had become an Evil Soul Master, had actually become the leader of an Evil Soul Master organization known as the Holy Spirit Cult.]

[It turned out that Xishui's husband back then had been the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.]

[After rescuing Xishui from Shrek Academy, he too suffered immeasurable injuries. Later, Xishui inherited the Holy Spirit Cult from her husband.]

[What I owe Xishui can never be repaid in a lifetime; what I owe Mu En likewise can never be repaid in a lifetime.]

[But the difference was that Xishui had suffered even deeper harm. I had ruined her entire life. Even after a hundred years, I still could not forget what happened back then. I had wronged Xishui, so I was willing to give everything for her, even my life.]

[I could only accept dying before Xishui. If Xishui left before me, then I would immediately follow her to the other world.]

[So what if Xishui joined the Holy Spirit Cult, an Evil Soul Master organization? I was still willing to follow her!]

"The Holy Spirit Cult?!" Xuan Zi had never expected that the Evil Soul Master gang from back then was actually an organization, one that had endured to the present day.

It was too terrifying, truly too terrifying.

Back then, it had already possessed a leader capable of severely injuring Mu En's teacher, and now it also had Long Xiaoyao's support.

Then this so-called Holy Spirit Cult was definitely no ordinary Evil Soul Master organization. It was a truly enormous catch.

But such a big fish had left no trace of itself on the continent for over a hundred years.

There had to be an enormous problem behind this.

Such a powerful Evil Soul Master organization had made no moves and never exposed itself. Its purpose could only be one thing: it was plotting something enormous!

"Shaozhe, Lin'er, continue guarding Mu En. I'm heading out."

Having realized the gravity of the situation, Xuan Zi could no longer sit still.

Though he did not say what he was going to do, he was undoubtedly preparing to contact the major factions. Even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they would uncover the Holy Spirit Cult's tracks.

Such an Evil Soul Master organization was like a super bomb buried beneath the continent, one that could explode at any moment.

If it detonated someday while they were completely unprepared, the continent would surely be left in utter devastation!

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er answered with equally grave expressions.

Clearly, they too had realized how serious the matter was.

Such a powerful Evil Soul Master organization had never revealed the slightest flaw.

If the Heavenly Curtain had not exposed it, they would have remained in the dark the entire time.

That was simply too terrifying, too chilling!

It was not only Shrek Academy. Every soul master faction across the Douluo Continent had sounded the alarm.

Countless people had also realized that this hidden threat had to be dealt with first, with all major factions pooling every ounce of their strength.

Otherwise, the consequences would be endless!

An Evil Soul Master organization guarded by a Limit Douluo, one that had never exposed itself—it was too absurd, too frightening!
