When Jin Peng provoked Xuan Zi earlier.

Du Busi had actually been observing from a distance the whole time, but he had concealed his presence at the time.

Fueled by anger, coupled with the difference in their cultivation levels, they were further aggravated by the situation.

The drunken Xuan Zi was completely unaware of the existence of the Du Busi and immediately became engrossed in fighting with the Jin Peng.

Although Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull, under normal circumstances, is indeed no match for the current golden body of the Jin Peng.

However, when things got heated and Xuan Zi was about to use some of his trump cards, Du Busi still chose to step in and stop him.

He didn't actually think that Jin Peng would be defeated by Xuan Zi's desperate methods or anything like that.

After all, Jin Peng is only reacting to each move as it comes, and he still has other methods he hasn't used yet. If they were to really fight, the outcome would still be uncertain.

However, compared to the increasingly weakened Shrek Academy, the existence of the Sun Moon Empire still posed a greater threat in Du Busi's eyes.

After all, before his death, Mu En had swallowed his pride and personally came to the Body Sect to discuss an alliance with Du Busi.

Even though he didn't know much about Mu En's background, or out of respect for this Dragon God Douluo, Du Busi had no intention of breaking ties with the Shrek Academy here.

Moreover, the true nature of the Sun Moon Empire is still unclear, and with many concerns remaining, it is not yet time to engage in a major battle with Shrek Academy.

As the dark green giant appeared in the distance, it faced the Godly Taotie Bull and its golden body, who were locked in close combat at that moment.

Something invisible had somehow filled the surrounding environment, and at this moment, Jin Peng was as brave and unparalleled as if he had been injected with Blood One.

Xuan Zi, on the other hand, felt a completely different way. For some reason, an unimaginable fear weighed on his heart, causing a few drops of cold sweat to trickle down his forehead.

He felt a terrifying sense of oppression that seemed to linger in his heart, which even interrupted Xuan Zi's original idea of activating the Taotie power in his bloodline.

"How is that possible? We're only half a step apart, so why do you, Du Busi, instill such fear in me before you've even made a move?"

It wasn't due to any influence of mental abilities, but rather Xuanzi's intuition, as a Level 98 Super Douluo, was giving Xuan Zi a warning.

He was warned not to act rashly. The instincts of living beings were awakening, which Xuan Zi could not even imagine, even though Du Busi was already Limit Douluo.

Xuan Zi had seen Limit Douluo before, but even Mu En in the past had never given him such a sense of pressure before he even made a move!

Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng laughed loudly and slammed down with a punch, slamming Xuan Zi, who was in a daze due to physical fear, into the ground.

Once the phantom of the Godly Taotie Bull dissipated, this already desolate place became even more barren, ravaged by the aftershocks of the battle between the two Super Douluo powerhouses.

In fact, Xuan Zi misunderstood. It wasn't that Du Busi hadn't made a move, but rather that Du Busi had already made a move, but Xuanzi hadn't noticed it yet.

Unlike the four common elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as light, darkness, and even spatial attributes, the ability used by Du Busi is poison, rather than any proper element.

Although the effects of poison in the Douluo Continent are closely related to elemental reactions, even space is classified as an element in the Douluo Continent.

However, unlike ordinary elements that rely on positive reactions between each other, the toxins currently used by Du Busi not only possess extremely strong lethality and infectivity against flesh and blood.

After being enhanced by the Snow-Colored Swan Neck, it has an exceptionally terrifying corrosive effect even on elemental energy, which is why Xuan Zi felt boundless fear just now.

Moreover, compared to the fluctuations of elements, the power of poison is more subtle and difficult to detect, not to mention that Xuan Zi has not yet reached the level of Limit Douluo.

Even among Limit Douluo, Du Busi is a terrifying existence in a class of its own in terms of the secrecy and lethality of his attacks.

Just now, during the final battle between Xuan Zi and Jin Peng, Xuan Zi manipulated a large amount of Earth Element, constantly grinding the energy of heaven and earth, and the Du Busi Poison had already spread through this process.

With a calculated attack on the unsuspecting, if Xuanzi Du Busi death earlier, his Xuan Zi wouldn't have been as simple as his Soul Power dissipating and him being punched into the ground by the rampaging Jin Peng.

After crashing to the ground, Xuan Zi was now upside down, like a radish planted in the ground.

Although his cultivation level meant he wasn't in such a sorry state for long, he quickly recovered from his headfirst position and leaped back to the ground.

However, there are two experts with similar cultivation levels on the field, and one of them is even stronger.

Du Busi and Jin Peng laughed heartily at Xuan Zi's disheveled appearance, while Xuan Zi's old face turned red and white in turns, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Then, Du Busi slightly toned down his gloating expression and adopted a nonchalant, aloof demeanor, saying, "So, Xuan Zi, what important matter brings you to Heaven Dou City to see me?"

"Considering that Mu En personally visited my Body Sect before, I can spare some time from my busy schedule to chat with you."

Having just suffered such a blow, it was a great humiliation for Xuan Zi.

In fact, if Xuan Zi hadn't been still recovering from his Soul Power, he probably would have stormed off.

But when Xuan Zi heard the word "Mu En" spoken by Du Busi, he froze.

He then closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and sat down on the ground. He took out his gourd and took a big gulp.

'Mu En. Oh, Mu En.'

Xuan Zi finally recalled the earnest teachings that Mu En had given him.

And before his death, Mu En entrusted him with countless instructions. Even when he was in the Golden Ancient Tree, Mu En ultimately chose to believe in him and entrusted the future of the Shrek Academy to him.

"I'm sorry, Mu En, I disappointed you before, alas."

After a moment, Xuan Zi opened his eyes again and calmed down from his extremely unstable state.

Although his head was still covered in bruises from the blows Jin Peng had given him.

However, the aura and demeanor he displayed at this moment seemed to be second only to Du Busi. Seeing this, Du Busi narrowed his eyes slightly but did not say anything.

"I am here on behalf of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss the alliance that Mu En and you agreed upon earlier."

"Although Mu En has passed away, the threat from the Sun Moon Empire is becoming increasingly imminent."

"Shrek Academy has no objection to the grand publicity campaign you launched after the emergence of your Body Sect."

"However, Shrek Academy's operations in the Sun Moon Empire are currently encountering obstacles at every turn."

"However, I also learned that the Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Empire are becoming increasingly powerful, and only by combining the power of all the Soul Master from the Original Three Douluo Kingdoms can we counterbalance them."

Although Xuan Zi said that being fond of drinking leads to mistakes, and that he is reckless, arrogant, and stubborn.

However, the fact that he was able to cultivate to the level of Super Douluo of Level 98 at least shows that he was not completely mentally challenged, and his long lifespan also gave him more experience than ordinary people.

Although he had not paid much attention to Elder Lin's proposals and topics during the previous Sea God Pavilion Meeting, it did not mean that he was unaware of these things.

Now, recalling Mu En's entrustment, even though he was reluctant, he still put aside his pride and tried to sit down and discuss it with Du Busi.

Although what Xuan Zi said meant nothing to Du Busi, after all, in his opinion, Xuan Zi was still far inferior to him.

After all, their Body Sect emerged with sufficient strength, so what right does Shrek Academy have to object? What makes Shrek Academy dare to object?

The fact that Xuan Zi could say such a thing means that he still couldn't let go of the pride that always existed in the hearts of the Shrek people.

However, Du Busi is a Limit Douluo who has achieved a perfect advancement.

Even if Mu En were still alive, the Body Sect would still be slightly ahead of the Shrek Academy.

After all, compared to Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who has been barely surviving due to serious injuries for many years, Poison Undying, the original Douluo, is a genuine full-fledged fighter.

As for the so-called idea of uniting the three kingdoms to contend with the Sun Moon Empire, that's utter nonsense, something even a three-year-old knows.

However, at least compared to his previous arrogant and domineering attitude, Xuan Zi is now finally willing to behave himself and negotiate properly.

Du Busi was also happy to see this, after all, facing the Sun Moon Empire, whose true nature was unclear, was no easy task, and having a powerful ally to share the burden was a good thing.

And so, a slightly awkward meeting began in this place, which had just been overwhelmed by the aftershocks of the battle between the two Super Douluo.

Based on the Body Sect, Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Empire, the three kingdoms originally belonging to the Douluo Continent, and various other factions, the two sides engaged in intense talks.

Although there wasn't much substance to it, and most of it was rambling and aimed to get the other side to probe the Sun Moon Empire's true intentions first.

However, as darkness fell, Xuan Zi and Du Busi finally came up with a plan.

Du Busi Undying said coldly, "Let's be frank. Since Shrek Academy is unwilling to take the lead, why would my Body Sect go to resist the first wave of lightning from the Sun Moon Empire?"

"In that case, let's stop talking."

"I'll be blunt: if the Sun Moon Empire tries to use my Heavenly Soul Empire as a breakthrough point when the war begins..."

"Your Shrek Academy must provide full support to deter them and force them to shift their strategic focus back to the Star Luo Empire."

"Only in this way can we have a basis for cooperation. Although the Star Luo Empire is not strong in high-level combat, it has a long history, a vast territory, and sufficient strategic depth."

"When the Sun Moon Empire is at the height of its battle with them, both of our forces will send their strongest members to join and assist."

"Would it be feasible to use this to confront and test the waters against the Sun Moon Empire on the territory of the Star Luo Empire?"

After a long silence, Xuan Zi finally nodded.

As Du Busi said, the Body Sect is not stupid. Why would they take the lead in bearing the greatest war pressure in the early days of the Sun Moon Empire?

Although Shrek Academy is located quite a distance from the Sun Moon Empire, it is still the Number One Academy on the Continent, which is gradually declining.

Have you not seen how many people secretly suppressed the Tang Clan, once the number one sect on the continent, after it fell from its Tang Sect, causing it to weaken in just over a hundred years?

Even out of consideration for the slightest ties of kinship, Shrek Academy has always reserved a small space for the Tang Sect, but it's only a small space.

The Tang Sect has now lost even its last inch of territory, and can be said to have completely disappeared.

If the Tang Sect were replaced by the Shrek Academy, how many people would already harbor fear and other thoughts towards this force that has dominated the Douluo Continent for nearly ten thousand years?

If the Sun Moon Empire wins the final war, Shrek Academy, which once posed a great threat and enjoyed immense prestige, will surely be eradicated by them.

After all, Shrek Academy was not a source of stability for the rulers of the Sun Moon Empire.

If Shrek Academy continues to remain aloof while maintaining a strong deterrent force, the Sun Moon Empire might still be wary of it.

However, Shrek Academy, which is now in decline, no longer has the qualifications to remain high and mighty.

Xuan Zi said, "I will discuss this matter with Xu Jiawei, and I believe he will be willing to give me face."

"After all, this matter has had a significant impact on the Star Luo Empire."

"However, without the help of both of us, if the Star Luo Empire were to face the Sun Moon Empire alone, it would probably be unable to avoid the fate of its country being shattered."

Du Busi did not continue the discussion on this topic, casually shifting the pressure of war to the Star Luo Empire.

After all, compared to the Body Sect, which has top-tier experts, and Shrek Academy, which has the Golden Ancient Tree as its foundation, it is much more advanced.

Although the Star Luo Empire has a vast territory, a long history, and extremely deep strategic depth, its actual influence is far from comparable to that of Du Busi and Xuan Zi.

Therefore, the future of the country was decided in just a few words.

As for entrusting the task of conveying this matter to the Star Luo Empire to Xuan Zi, it was inconvenient for Du Busi, as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul Empire's national protection sect, to personally intervene.

There are also reasons that affect the relationship between the Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire.

Xuan Zi left, looking rather disheveled, limping as he headed towards Star Dou City, leaving his ever-present wine gourd on the ground.

Watching the other party's disheveled departure, Du Busi's face turned cold.

"Hmph, that old bastard Xuan Zi has improved a bit since becoming the Sea God Pavilion Master, but only a bit."

Jin Peng, hands on his hips, laughed loudly and said, "Sect Master, didn't I look awesome just now? Xuan Zi, don't take him too seriously."

"After all, even if he comes to his senses, Shrek Academy will have no one else who can take on the responsibility besides him."

"But my Body Sect still has the Young Sect Master. Under the Young Sect Master's leadership, the rise of my Body Sect is inevitable."

Du Busi slightly and left with Jin Peng. The outcome of this negotiation still needed to be discussed with the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family, as it was a matter that affected the entire Douluo Continent and could not be taken lightly.
