Grow Bigger and Stronger, and Shine Once More!

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The violent aura caused the space to tremble continuously, and the atmosphere in the main hall instantly became as heavy and cold as if it had been filled with ink, even the light passing through was slightly distorted.

"Master has become stronger again!" A Ruheng, standing to the side, felt the aura emanating from his master, his eyes filled with surprise. This aura contained a unique meaning.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mu Ye, you still get excited so easily." Hu Jie's eyes narrowed, but his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and nodded at Mu Ye.

The next moment, under Mu Ye's deep gaze, Hu Jie clasped his hands together, his thick fingers grinding forcefully, and the purple pollen in his palm instantly turned into dust, emitting a low, mournful cry.

"Whoosh!" Hu Jie opened his palm and blew gently, sending purple powder floating in the air, which then scattered in all directions with the help of a gentle breeze.

Mu Ye seeing this, the seriousness between Makino's brows lessened, and his violent aura subsided.

As the dust settled, the heavy atmosphere in the room gradually returned to normal, like a light rain falling.

"You're really not here to cause trouble?" Mu Ye raised an eyebrow and asked. "This sect leader did... take something from your Tang Sect."

"Hey! How can you call something from the Soul Master World 'taking'? Treasures belong to the capable, right?" Hu Jie said with a smile, waving his hand dismissively.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well belongs to the Tang Sect, not to Hu Jie.

Moreover, he had long disliked those Immortal Herb within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Despite being weak, he is incredibly arrogant, constantly bringing up the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago and the Sea God Tang San from twenty thousand years ago, using their past relationship to show off.

"So what are you here for? Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush, there are no outsiders here," Mu Ye said calmly, but his tone was noticeably more gentle.

Since Hu Jie crushed the pollen, it proves that he is not representing the Tang Sect. After all, he is also cultivating the Body Sect's techniques and possesses Body Martial Soul.

"As I said before, I'll help you resolve your troubles, and then we'll see what happens to your two disciples... whether they have the ability to revive the Body Sect."

Hu Jie's eyes flickered as he met Mu Ye's gaze and spoke slowly.

"Now I see, this big oaf's talent is no less than yours, and your other little disciple surprises me even more, even shocks me." Before Mu Ye could speak, Hu Jie continued, his tone full of praise.

Jiang Xiu became famous after his battle in Tianhai, and the news spread throughout the entire Federation.

"Huh?" A Ruheng was listening when he suddenly realized he'd been tagged. He muttered to himself, "You're the big oaf, your whole family are big idiots."

"Hmph! I can still manage the Body Sect well even after you leave," Mu Ye snorted, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and said arrogantly, "See this street outside? It's all Body Sect."

"As for A-Heng and Xiao Xiu, there's no need to say more; I firmly believe they can do it."

Mu Ye spoke firmly, but a slight doubt crept into his heart.

How did Hu Jie know about Xiao Xiu, and even dare to assert that he is stronger than A Ruheng, when Xiao Xiu has clearly never shown his strength outside?

Upon hearing this, A Ruheng, who was standing to the side, straightened his chest slightly.

"I naturally believe that," Hu Jie nodded slightly, then leaned forward and pressed on, "But have you ever thought about making the Body Sect even stronger?"

"What do you mean by that?" Mu Ye's expression froze for a moment, then his expression became serious.

"Think about it, right now I'm dealing in weapons at the Tang Sect, Elder Han is dealing in Soul Spirit at the Spirit Pagoda, and you're holding fast to the Body Sect. Heaven has also given you two good disciples. Let's join forces and make the Body Sect bigger and stronger, creating new glories!"

"There are only a handful of major powers in the world, and our Body Sect is almost completely encompassing them all."

Without further hesitation, Hu Jie declared with increasing fervor, "Let us learn from the strengths of others and create the glory of our sect!"

As soon as Hu Jie finished speaking, a light flashed in Mu Ye's eyes, and his breathing became a little heavier, but he did not reply immediately, only his gaze kept changing.

Last time, some of their Body Sect's experts left to join other major forces. If they can make good use of these opportunities as Hu Jie suggested, their Body Sect will definitely soar to new heights.

Moreover, they also have the Western Legion and the Blacksmith Association, both of which are external allies of their Body Sect.

At this moment, A Ruheng scratched his head and asked cautiously, "What about the War God Temple...?"

The War God Temple is by no means weak, and its members are all high-end combatants, including Eighteen War Gods. It is also known as the Federation's sharpest sword.

"This..." Hu Jie paused, looking at A Ruheng with annoyance, "What are you good for? Are you just a big guy for nothing? Why don't you go to the War God Temple and marry a female War God, then you'll have a connection?"

"Huh? Huh? Me?" A Ruheng was taken aback, pointing at himself in confusion, his face even turning slightly red.

This elder is so unreliable, how could he possibly marry the War God of War God Temple?

"Alright." Mu Ye waved his hand to interrupt the two, looking directly at Hu Jie: "What exactly are you trying to do, and how much of what you're saying is true?"

"The Body Sect nurtured me back then, and I will naturally repay them if I have the chance. As for the reason, it's probably because I have a deep love for the sect," Hu Jie said with a melancholy look in his eyes and a sigh.

Mu Ye watched Hu Jie's performance quietly. He knew that this guy did have feelings for the Body Sect, but they weren't entirely pure. He should only believe a fraction of what Hu Jie said; believing any more would be a sign of distrust in Hu Jie's character.

"Ahem... I'm serious this time. Whether you believe me or not, we'll prove it with facts in the future." Hu Jie seemed uncomfortable under Mu Ye's gaze, and then coughed lightly.

"This kid is getting harder and harder to fool," Hu Jie muttered to himself.

His reason for coming to the Body Sect this time was that what he said before was true, but in addition to wanting to help the Body Sect revive, he also wanted to find a safe place for himself to retire.

Relying solely on the Tang Sect is not enough. Hu Jie has never been one to act alone, especially when he sees the Body Sect thriving.

"Alright, here's an opportunity. Tell me the location of your Tang Sect Headquarters' treasure vault, and I'll believe you." Mu Ye withdrew his gaze and crossed his arms.

"Huh? I'm telling you, don't do anything reckless!" Upon hearing this, Hu Jie's teacup trembled, and he quickly warned him.

"The Tang Sect Headquarters is located at the very bottom of Shrek City, equipped with the most advanced soul-guided monitoring technology. It can be said to be one of the safest places on the entire continent; its impregnable walls make it impossible for you to dig a tunnel into it."

"The safest place underground..." A Ruheng murmured, then his eyes lit up slightly as if he had just thought of something. "If we blow it up from the surface, could we reach the Tang Sect Headquarters?"

"..." A hint of helplessness appeared on Hu Jie's lips. "You think you can just blow it up like that? The Tang Sect Headquarters is in Shrek City. Shrek City is such a safe place, how could there possibly be any artillery shells there? Do you really think Shrek Academy is a pushover?"

"Besides, if a shell could actually penetrate the Tang Sect Headquarters, Shrek Academy would be blown to smithereens too... No, that's impossible."

Hu Jie shook his head; he had almost been tricked by Mu Ye's two disciples.

These two are truly remarkable; one dares to dream, and the other dares to dream even more.

"Hmph, haven't you heard that there's always a way out? My ancestral craftsmanship is in my hands; if I want to dig, there's nowhere I can't go?"

"Wasn't Mingde Hall once known for its strongest defenses? It was still breached by that ancestor."

Knowing that Hu Jie was telling the truth, Mu Ye still retorted.

However, the treasure trove that the Tang Sect had accumulated over so many years of arms dealing was truly tempting to him.

There was no other way; their Body Sect was truly terrified of being poor.

"You can forget about the treasure vault, but you can 'borrow' some things from that place when the security is a bit weaker in the future." Hu Jie said slowly, which made Mu Ye's eyes light up slightly.

He knew perfectly well what the treasure land Hu Jie was referring to was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which contained the Immortal Herb.

"That's good, you pass." Mu Ye said calmly, "I'll contact my martial uncle in a few days so we can finalize the details."

Although the Body Sect is steadily rising, it is still far behind other major powers. With Hu Jie, a Level 98 Super Douluo, secretly helping it, its foundation can be improved significantly.

After all, for a sect to become powerful, it needs not only disciples but also strong individuals to protect and guide it.

His Body Sect currently lacks both.

"No problem." Seeing Mu Ye agree, Hu Jie smiled again.

Looking at Mu Ye, Hu Jie felt a pang of emotion and reminiscence; Mu Ye truly resembled his mother...

"Sect Master Mu."

Just then, a clear, cold female voice rang out from the courtyard outside the main hall, followed by the sound of footsteps.

With Divine Power, Mu Ye and Hu Jie stood up at the same time and walked out of the main hall.

"Tower Master Leng, it's been a long time." Mu Ye greeted the elegant woman in red robes who was strolling towards him with a slight bow and a smile.

"Greetings, Tower Master Leng." Upon seeing the newcomer, a knowing glint flashed in Hu Jie's eyes, and he smiled as he spoke.

"It has indeed been a long time. I didn't expect to see Hall Master Hu here as well." Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on Hu Jie, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She had heard a little about what happened at the Body Sect back then. This Smiling Douluo had joined the Tang Sect, and now he was actually appearing at the Body Sect. Could it be...?

"Tower Master Leng, please come inside." Before Leng Yaozhu could think further, Mu Ye gestured towards the main hall and invited her in.

"It's almost time. I still have some things to take care of. You two chat first, goodbye." Hu Jie said with a smile, then walked out of the Body Sect after bidding farewell to the two.

Mu Ye and Leng Yaozhu clearly had important matters to discuss, and through some channels, he also knew that the Body Sect and Leng Yaozhu had joined forces.

Therefore, it's best for him to avoid it at this point.

After leaving the Body Sect, Hu Jie looked back at the evergreen tree on the vermilion gate of the Body Sect, his eyes gleaming.

"Will it be a fleeting moment, or a meteoric rise Mu Ye, I hope I won't misjudge this time, just like before."

He never does things on Shi Xing.

"But why do that brat A Ruheng's words keep making this hall master uneasy...?"

"Could the Tang Sect Headquarters really be bombed?"

Hu Jie frowned slightly, but then shook his head and walked away into the distance.

If the Tang Sect is bombed, wouldn't Shrek Academy also be wiped out?

So he was just worrying unnecessarily...

It must be!
