Body Sect May Become a Grave Threat, Mu En's Decision

Mu En narrowed his eyes slightly.

Da Ming's words were far from simple.

He had keenly caught several particular phrases in Da Ming's wording.

What did he mean by old friend?

Who in the Clear Sky Sect had the standing to make a Limit Douluo guard the Clear Sky Sect and serve as its Sect Master?

And the senior Sect Master, at that.

This man who called himself Niu Tian was also deeply trusted.

The Clear Sky Sect had once been the number one sect in the world. After remaining hidden for ten thousand years, it normally would not acknowledge an outsider as its Sect Master.

"May I ask why Sect Master Niu has come to Shrek this time?" Xuan Zi asked.

His question was also what all the Pavilion Elders present wanted to know.

Mu En likewise adopted an attentive posture.

Shrek Academy had close ties with the Clear Sky Sect. Since the Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master had personally come to their door, what he sought might also be a major matter for Shrek Academy.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

Da Ming enunciated the five words one by one.

After hearing them, everyone on Shrek's side was greatly shocked.

Both Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had records of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but no one knew its location.

Now that they had heard the term from Niu Tian, who was Da Ming, their breathing quickened slightly.

Yan Shaozhe in particular.

He had long coveted the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Setting aside his own breakthrough, Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire problem, whom he regarded as his own daughter, also required the power of Immortal Herbs to resolve.

After Da Ming spoke the five words "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," the entire Sea God Pavilion was filled with nothing but cries of surprise and hurried breathing.

In the end, Mu En was the one who broke the atmosphere.

"Sect Master Niu, why not explain more clearly? Does the Clear Sky Sect know the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Da Ming nodded, then shook his head.

"The Clear Sky Sect does not know. I do not know either. But now we do."

Those three consecutive statements made Mu En fall into thought again.

This time, Da Ming did not pause and continued, "I came to find you because I want to cooperate with you and send people to occupy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

At those words, the eyes of many Pavilion Elders lit up.

Occupy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

What an opportunity was this?

And it had actually fallen into their hands!

Every Pavilion Elder present understood the effects of Immortal Herbs and knew of their heaven-defying ability to change one's fate.

For that reason, the looks they gave Da Ming were filled with greed.

Forget nurturing the younger generation.

Simply by consuming Immortal Herbs themselves, they might have a chance to rise another rank.

At their level, every rank-up meant a comprehensive enhancement of their martial souls. The increase in Soul Power was merely secondary; the true core was the all-around elevation of the martial soul and, through it, the body, spirit, and everything else.

Put simply, gaining a rank could extend one's lifespan.

Who could resist the temptation of a longer life?

Especially a group of elderly people already nearing the end of their years.

Seeing the eager looks in the Pavilion Elders' eyes, Da Ming knew what they were thinking and first poured cold water over them.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was infiltrated by Du Busi of the Body Sect. We only discovered its existence after his intrusion. Our sect's second Sect Master has already gone to investigate, but I estimate that the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have likely all been swept away by the Body Sect."

His words instantly sobered several Pavilion Elders whose eyes had been burning with excitement.

"What?"

"What a waste!"

"Beasts!"

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is the Sea God's territory. The Body Sect is committing theft!" Yan Shaozhe said.

The crowd erupted in outrage.

Seeing this, Da Ming nodded slightly.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was not the key. The key was dealing with the Body Sect.

This was the order Tang San had given him.

As long as the valley remained intact and the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was still there, the Immortal Herbs could grow again. Tang San, Da Ming, and Er Ming especially did not need to worry about lifespan, so they could afford to wait.

But the Body Sect had now obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's accumulation of ten thousand years and might soar to new heights.

If they could not be dealt with soon, they might become a grave threat.

Thus, Da Ming had used a few tricks in his wording. He first said that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well existed, then said that the Body Sect had emptied it.

Sure enough, he had stirred up these Pavilion Elders' hostility toward the Body Sect.

Mu En frowned.

He looked at Da Ming thoughtfully.

He had noticed some of the little schemes hidden in Da Ming's phrasing.

However, as long as Da Ming had not lied and everything he said was correct information, that was enough.

Mu En had his own ability to judge.

Mu En closed his eyes and reclined in his chair, gently rocking it without saying a word.

Seeing Mu En like this, even Da Ming's expression could not help turning serious.

From Mu En, he sensed an extreme danger.

This Mu En looked as though he were severely injured and on the verge of death, yet he gave off an exceedingly dangerous feeling.

Though they were both at the Limit Douluo level, Da Ming actually felt that he was inferior to Mu En.

To what extent has this old fellow mastered the power of heaven and earth?

This sense of danger was transmitted through heaven and earth. Naturally, the information it conveyed was based on the other party's control over the power of heaven and earth rather than actual combat strength.

Yet a Limit Douluo's strength was, in all likelihood, determined by their ability to wield the power of heaven and earth.

Compared to the vast power of heaven and earth, how much Soul Power did one possess? How much might could it unleash?

After the chair rocked for a while, Mu En slowly opened his eyes again.

He glanced at Yan Shaozhe.

"My greatest concern for this disciple of mine is Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire problem."

Then he looked at Xuan Zi.

"Xuan Zi's talent is beyond doubt. Although his temperament is poor, he still reached Rank 98 through the quality of his martial soul. He is only one step away from Rank 99. If he can obtain suitable Immortal Herbs, his chances of breaking through to Rank 99 are not small."

His gaze then swept over the many Pavilion Elders present, and Mu En's thoughts drifted far away.

"Lexuan also has the bearing of a Limit Douluo. With the aid of Immortal Herbs, her path in the future may be much smoother. If she can break through earlier, the possibility of Shrek being ruined by Xuan Zi in the future will also greatly decrease."

"And... Bei Bei. If he can obtain the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum... Shrek's position can become even more secure."

Mu En considered many things. Countless thoughts flowed through his mind, all of them concerning Shrek's future.

And all these circumstances beneficial to Shrek Academy involved Immortal Herbs.

Obtain the Immortal Herbs!

Mu En's clouded eyes became resolute.

At that instant, a sharp aura burst forth from him.

"Sect Master Niu, could you first take me to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

At those words, surprise flashed through Da Ming's eyes.

What did he mean?

Just him alone?

"First, we will determine the losses at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If the Immortal Herbs are gone and no roots have been left behind..."

At those words, anticipation appeared in Da Ming's eyes.

Mu En paused for a moment and looked at Xuan Zi.

"Xuan Zi, we still owe the Body Sect a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, don't we?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Xuan Zi's face.

"Elder Mu, you mean?"

Mu En tapped the armrest of his chair, his tone solemn.

"Du Busi has become too arrogant."

At those words, hesitation flashed through Da Ming's eyes.

Did they have to wait another year before acting?

To be honest, Da Ming did not want to wait that long.

However, one sentence from Mu En completely dispelled the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"The Body Sect has no fixed residence. Under normal circumstances, we simply cannot determine their location."
