Outside Shrek City, within a secluded villa.
A burly, door-like middle-aged man sat on the sofa, stuffing roasted meat into his mouth in large mouthfuls.
While eating, he asked Di Tian, who was standing beside him:
"Boss, what did the Sovereign have me stay here for?"
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing toward Shrek City in the distance, and replied:
"The Sovereign's arrangements naturally have her reasons. Xiong Jun, are you questioning the Sovereign's wisdom?"
Uh...
A flicker of hesitation crossed Xiong Jun's eyes, but his mind turned quickly, and he immediately waved his hands. "How could I dare? I'm just a rough brute who doesn't understand anything. Whatever you bosses say goes; you're stronger than me, anyway."
In truth, Xiong Jun had questioned the Sovereign's intelligence earlier.
Perhaps he had slept for too long and his brain was foggy, but he had actually agreed to a bizarre wager with Na'er.
That was three-tenths of his origin, not just some random trinket.
Xiong Jun silently ate the Star Luo Style Roasted Meat on the table, his mouth glistening with grease.
It was only because there were so few land soul beasts left—just a handful of them—that he had no other choice; otherwise, he would have run off to work alone long ago.
Xiong Jun continued to stuff his face, and Di Tian continued to carry out his duty.
To beat up Long Yeyue.
That was the task the Sovereign had arranged for them to complete.
The reason was simple: to vent frustration for Lord Qian Jue.
Although it sounded absurd, Long Yeyue was, after all, a rank 99 Limit Douluo who spent most of her time deep within Shrek Academy.
Even though Di Tian was recognized as the world's number one soul beast, he would likely find it difficult to escape unscathed if he rashly charged into Shrek Academy.
But Di Tian felt it was worth it.
Since he was young, he had heard his parents speak of the deeds of the First Sovereign. His parents had even been raised by Qian Jue before being granted bloodlines by the Dragon God and ascending to become the Radiant Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King.
By rights, Di Tian should even call Qian Jue "Grandmother."
A subject cannot reach this day without his grandmother!
That was why he had rented this place, quietly waiting for the moment Long Yeyue stepped out.
Suddenly, Xiong Jun felt the space around him congeal.
Clearly, Di Tian had sensed something.
"Just as the Sovereign predicted, that woman has come out."
In Di Tian's mind, Gu Yue's stature was elevated once more.
The Silver Dragon King, whose foresight was godlike!
Long Yeyue slipped out of Shrek City under the cover of night. Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity while Yun Ming was in secluded cultivation, she personally set out, determined to bring Qian Jue back.
She had originally wanted to bring Cai Yue'er with her, but Cai Yue'er refused to make the trip to East Sea City, claiming that since Yun Ming hadn't permitted it, she dared not act without authorization.
Hmph, the older one gets, the more cowardly one becomes.
Those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre; has she forgotten even this school motto?
Long Yeyue scoffed at this, concluding that with such a temperament, Cai Yue'er would never achieve anything great.
Besides, she was just going to fetch her husband's grandson to bring him home. Even though there was no blood relation, Shrek was, after all, Qian Jue's home.
Long Yeyue felt there was nothing to criticize about her actions.
When she returned, even Yun Ming would have to obediently praise her for a job well done.
"Once I get him back, I must discipline him properly so he won't dare run off on his own again."
Long Yeyue muttered to herself, though her attitude was less harsh than before.
At the very least, the boy's maternal grandfather was a Limit Douluo from the Qiangu family, and with Qian Jue's talent, a slight adjustment to their parenting style was necessary.
However, the concept of respecting one's teachers and the Way must be deeply instilled into his mind.
As long as she could make Qian Jue realize the importance of Shrek's glory, there would be a chance to resolve all previous unpleasantness.
As Long Yeyue flew and pondered, the space around her suddenly congealed slightly, and two masked figures appeared before her in an instant.
"Who goes there!?"
Di Tian didn't waste words; he opened with the Darkness Domain: Five Senses Seal.
This was a technique passed down to him by his mother, said to have been handed down by Lord Qian Jue herself—it was the most suitable for ambushing others.
In an instant, Long Yeyue's vision plunged into pitch-black darkness; her hearing, taste, smell, and touch all vanished.
But she was, after all, a veteran Limit Douluo, and she released her martial soul almost subconsciously.
Radiant Sacred Dragon, Dark Sacred Dragon, attack!
The Dark Sacred Dragon was the first to appear, its body wreathed in nine soul rings—seven black and two red—as it charged fiercely toward Di Tian.
Di Tian frowned slightly and raised his hand to strike with a dragon claw; the Dark Sacred Dragon let out a mournful cry and was sent reeling back.
Long Yeyue also sensed that power, which was actually capable of suppressing her top-tier True Dragon martial soul.
"Radiant Sacred Dragon, go!"
A second, platinum-colored giant dragon rushed out, carrying a dense aura of light, but upon sensing the Radiant Dragon King bloodline within Di Tian, it immediately wilted, able to exert only about half of its full strength.
At this level, even Xiong Jun could defeat it with ease.
"Hehe, Sky-Rending Claw!"
Xiong Jun let out a simple-minded chuckle before unleashing the signature ultimate move of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear toward the Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Dark golden light surged, carrying power sufficient to rend everything asunder, and it forcibly tore Long Yeyue's Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul into two and a half pieces.
With her martial soul shattered, the lingering force of the Sky-Rending Claw struck her, instantly carving three bloody gashes across her chest as blood sprayed out.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sensory-sealing effect was still active, Di Tian hurriedly rushed forward and unleashed a barrage of strikes on Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue could not feel the pain at this moment, but she understood that she must be getting beaten by an unknown powerhouse.
What a humiliating disgrace!
Xiong Jun and Di Tian stood on either side, treating the temporarily incapacitated Long Yeyue like a beach volleyball, batting her from one side to the other, and then back again.
"Hehe, Boss, this is really too much fun!"
Xiong Jun admitted it now; the Lord's wisdom was unrivaled.
Opportunities to beat up a human Limit Douluo were rare, and this felt great.
"Remember to leave her a breath; the Lord has commanded that this person must be dealt with by the hands of Lord Qian Jue personally."
As Di Tian spoke, he suddenly sensed a human aura appear above his head.
Very strong—a Limit Douluo?!
He turned his head and locked eyes with the powerhouse who had suddenly appeared in mid-air.
For a moment, the atmosphere grew tense.
Xiong Jun was already preparing to slip away; if this person was from Shrek, he would surely be surrounded and beaten if he stayed here.
However, to his surprise, the first thing the unknown powerhouse said was, "Count me in."
Qiangu Qingfeng, who had originally been resting with his eyes closed on the return train, suddenly sensed the fluctuations of a Limit Douluo in the nearby wasteland, so he came over to join the fun and see what was happening.
A Limit Douluo was, after all, not a head of cabbage on the side of the road; it was normal to meet one if they happened to cross paths.
After arriving, Qiangu Qingfeng stared blankly at Long Yeyue, who was being batted back and forth like a volleyball by two unknown powerhouses, and for a moment, he was stunned.
What was going on?
Which great deity had this old madwoman offended this time to get ambushed in a place like this?
But after locking eyes with Di Tian, the doubts in his heart vanished.
The three of them began to treat Long Yeyue like a soccer ball, kicking her back and forth with a steady rhythm.
