Mu En Confronts Di Tian, Mu En's Resolve

Mu En's terrifying golden Soul Power surged toward Xuan Zi like a raging storm.

"Xuan Zi, explain everything clearly to me!"

Xuan Zi then told Mu En everything that had just happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After hearing it, Mu En felt his blood boil. His chest rose and fell, clearly angered by Xuan Zi.

"You're saying that you, a Rank 98 peak Douluo, were toyed with by a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast."

"And then you lost Little Chen?!"

Seeing Mu En's extreme rage, Xuan Zi looked like a child admitting his mistake.

"Mm."

Mu En immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at Xuan Zi, he nearly wanted to kill him.

But Mu En knew that even crippling Xuan Zi now would be of no use. The most important thing was to find Ye Chen first.

"Xuan Zi, gather the Sea God Pavilion Elders and convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting."

Then Mu En paused. Looking at Xuan Zi, he said with extreme calmness, "If anything happens to Little Chen, Xuan Zi, then die to atone for your crime."

Hearing Mu En's icy voice, Xuan Zi's body suddenly trembled. He then went to gather the Sea God Pavilion Elders.

Watching Xuan Zi's departing figure, Mu En coughed twice, his voice carrying a mournful sorrow.

"Is heaven trying to destroy Shrek Academy? Little Chen, don't worry. Grandpa will find you."

Mu En lay in his chair, his face filled with grief.

To Mu En, Ye Chen was not merely his successor or Shrek's pride. He was also the child Mu En had raised from a young age.

Ye Chen held far too much weight in Mu En's heart. He was Mu En's final bottom line in this world.

Now that Ye Chen's whereabouts were unknown and his life could be in danger at any moment, Mu En was more anxious than anyone.

After a while.

Mu En arrived at the Sea God Pavilion, where the Elders had also gathered.

"Mu En, what happened? Why was this Sea God Pavilion meeting convened so urgently?"

The one asking Mu En was Elder Song, an Elder second only to Mu En and Xuan Zi in the Sea God Pavilion, as well as a Rank 97 Super Douluo.

Mu En looked toward Xuan Zi. "Xuan Zi, tell them about this matter."

Xuan Zi showed a look of regret and recounted everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Elders frowned deeply after hearing it. Yan Shaozhe in particular had no idea how frantic Ma Xiaotao would become upon hearing this news.

"I called you all here because I want you to head to the Star Dou Great Forest together and search for Little Chen at all costs."

The Sea God Pavilion Elders all nodded. They had watched Ye Chen grow up and all held deep affection for him.

Now that something had happened to Ye Chen, it was only right for them, as his elders, to act.

"Good. Then we'll set out now!"

Upon hearing Mu En's words

the Sea God Pavilion Elders were all somewhat shocked. Elder Song said to Mu En,

"Mu En, you too..."

Before Elder Song could finish, Mu En interrupted him.

"Little Chen is not only the future successor of our Sea God Pavilion. He is also the child I raised from a young age."

"Now that he has gone missing, how can I, as his grandfather, stand by and do nothing?"

After saying that, Mu En's figure vanished from where he stood and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing this, the Elders followed Mu En and left Shrek Academy.

They headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest. After a long while, the Shrek group arrived at its outskirts.

Mu En and the Shrek group came to the clearing where Xuan Zi and Ye Chen had set up their tent.

Looking at the marks left behind by the twisting of that enormous snake body, Mu En was overcome with mixed emotions.

Mu En then turned around and slowly spoke to the Sea God Pavilion Elders.

"Everyone, I'll have to trouble you. Use this place as the center and split up to search. See whether there are any traces of Little Chen."

The Sea God Pavilion Elders nodded, then flew in all directions from this place, searching for Ye Chen's trail.

Yet trying to find one person in this vast forest was like searching for a needle in the ocean, especially when Ye Chen had fled who knew how far to escape the pursuit of the Human-faced Dragon Snake.

Mu En did not remain idle either. Dragging his hunched body along, he began searching in one direction.

The actions of Shrek's experts also left the Soul Beasts in the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest trembling in fear, not daring to move about freely.

The terrifying auras released by the Titled Douluo made the Soul Beasts think, for a time, that disaster was about to descend upon them.

But these Titled Douluo had not come to hunt Soul Beasts or obtain Soul Rings. They had come to find a seven-year-old child who was extremely important to them.

Time passed quickly. The commotion caused by Shrek's experts in the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have alerted some ferocious beasts in its depths.

The next moment, an earth-shaking dragon roar echoed through the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Unlike the roar of an ordinary Soul Beast, it carried a pressure that crushed everything.

The Elders searching in the air all halted at once. Even the Soul Power around their bodies became sluggish as they stared toward the source of that terrifying dragon roar.

The next second, a terrifying gale swept out from the forest's core. Wherever it passed, towering trees snapped in half, and even the earth split open with spiderweb-like cracks.

A massive dragon body covered in dark golden patterns slowly emerged from the clouds. A pair of black wings that blotted out the sky beat slowly, compressing even the air into ripples.

The arrival was none other than the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!

"You old fools of Shrek, you've come to the outskirts of my Star Dou Great Forest and disturbed countless Soul Beasts. Are you trying to start a war between our two sides?"

His voice was like thunder, spreading endlessly in every direction. Upon hearing it, the Sea God Pavilion Elders all moved closer to Mu En.

Di Tian's enormous body stood before Mu En. His golden vertical pupils swept coldly over him, but when his gaze touched that hunched yet upright figure, his expression grew somewhat more solemn.

Looking at the massive dragon body before him, Mu En's expression also turned grave. Light Soul Power surged continuously around him as he looked at Di Tian and said,

"Di Tian, we have come today with no ill intent. We merely wish to search for a child."

Mu En's calm yet imposing voice rang out. Di Tian looked at him and issued his warning.

"I don't care what your reason is. Leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately, or don't blame me for being discourteous."

Di Tian's dragon head met Mu En's gaze, carrying unquestionable majesty.

Mu En shook his head. His Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul Possession activated, and his hunched body instantly underwent dragonification. Dragon claws, a dragon tail, dragon horns, and dragon scales began to manifest across Mu En's body.

The pressure of a Limit Douluo erupted from him. He then looked at Di Tian and stated his demand.
