Shrek's Forebears, Please!

Three days after that ominous premonition, Mu En finally understood why he had felt something was amiss. He had seen an image of Xuan Zi, and by the time he learned of it, the image had already spread throughout Shrek City.

When Mu En obtained the image from an elder of the Sea God Pavilion and examined its contents, he saw Xuan Zi, Tai Tan, and Zhongli Wu sitting together discussing how to kill Huo Yuhao. Mu En felt his blood surge and anger surge into his heart.

"Boom!!!"

Mu En's terrifying aura, befitting Ultimate Douluo, surged from his body, instantly overturning everything Sea God Pavilion.

Sensing this violent aura, all the Sea God Pavilion Elder present could clearly feel just how furious Mu En was at this moment.

This time, however, they felt no pity or sympathy for Xuan Zi. Instead, they thought that if Xuan Zi returned to the academy successfully, it might be a good thing if Mu En could destroy his Martial Soul.

At least this way, Xuan Zi will no longer have any way to cause trouble for the Shrek Academy.

That's right, it's about causing destruction!

After five years of war, Shrek Academy suffered extremely heavy casualties before finally regaining some of its reputation, so that no one on the continent would believe that Shrek Academy would secretly cultivate Evil Soul Master.

However, the appearance of this video is destined to make Shrek Academy's sacrifices over the past five years the biggest laughing stock.

They say they're mortal enemies with Evil Soul Master, but it turns out even Xuan Zi, the number two figure at the Shrek Academy, is secretly colluding with Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, in an attempt to kill Huo Yuhao and disrupt the peace of the Sun Moon Empire!

Not to mention Mu En, even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion are certain that this video is not only circulating in Shrek City, but has probably already spread throughout the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire before they even saw it!

As for the Sun Moon Empire?

Even without this footage, those people from the Sun Moon Empire probably wouldn't have the slightest goodwill towards the Shrek Academy!

An enraged Mu En had no intention of letting Xuan Zi remain in the Sun Moon Empire any longer. With this footage, regardless of whether Xuanzi could kill Huo Yuhao, the Sun Moon Empire would definitely cause trouble for the Shrek Academy.

Rather than letting Xuan Zi cause things to spiral out of control, leading to the complete destruction of the glorious Shrek Academy by the Sun Moon Empire, it's better to bring Xuan Zi back, destroy his Martial Soul, and let him obediently become a seed-planting machine, trying to see if he can inherit the Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul.

After making this decision, Mu En immediately prepared to set off for the Sun Moon Empire to stop the conflict.

However, before he could even leave Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo returned to the academy with Bei Bei, who was barely alive, Xu Sanshi's corpse, and the students who participated in the Soul Master Competition.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone—from Mu En and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion to the students of the Inner Court —was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at Bei Bei, who was being lifted into the air by Yan Shaozhe's Soul Power and was barely breathing, Mu En reached out his hand to catch her, but found that his hands were starting to tremble slightly involuntarily. At this moment, Mu En's eyes had also turned red.

The elders didn't dare to breathe, only the impetuous Xian Lin'er subconsciously asked.

What exactly is going on?

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo looked at Xian Lin'er gratefully, thanking her for giving them a chance to explain, so that they wouldn't be beaten up by Mu En before they could explain the situation.

The two dared not delay at all, and tried their best to restore the true situation at that time, without daring to embellish it in any way, for fear of being held accountable by Mu En afterward.

Although Mu En seems to treat everyone equally, regarding all the students in the academy as equally important as Bei Bei, they all know very well that when it comes to truly important matters, the most important person in Mu En's heart is still Bei Bei, his great-grandson!

After listening to Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo's story, Mu En remained silent, then took off with Bei Bei in his arms and flew directly to the Golden Ancient Tree.

Looking up at the Golden Ancient Tree that radiated a dazzling halo, Mu En spoke slowly.

"I don't know if your will is inspired by the sacrifices of the predecessors of the Shrek Academy, but I know you can hear what I'm saying. I beg you to treat Bei Bei. As long as Bei Bei can be healed, I will do whatever you need me to do without hesitation!"

"I swear by the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul! Please!"

After saying this, Mu En bent down once again, his back no longer hunched, and bowed to the Golden Ancient Tree in front of him.

Seeing this, the other elders were still waiting to see if the Golden Ancient Tree would grant Mu En's request, wanting to know if this Golden Ancient Tree, which had existed for thousands of years and had long been an important symbol of the Shrek Academy, truly possessed a will.

Yan Shaozhe reacted quickly by tugging at Qian Duoduo's sleeve, then bowed down and said sincerely.

"Please, seniors, save Bei Bei!"

Qian Duoduo, who was unaware of what had happened, immediately realized what was going on after hearing Yan Shaozhe's words and followed suit by bowing down.

"Shrek's ancestors, I beg you!"

Although Xu Sanshi died and Bei Bei was seriously injured, the culprit was Xuan Zi.

However, as fellow teachers leading the team, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo also bear inescapable responsibility.

If they don't want to be purged by Mu En, have their Martial Soul destroyed, or even be killed outright, then they must be honest and pray that the Golden Ancient Tree can truly hear their prayers and heal Bei Bei, who is on the verge of death.

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo had set an example, the other elders naturally couldn't stand idly by and all followed suit, offering sincere prayers to the Golden Ancient Tree.

Hmm, regardless of their sincerity, they certainly appear to be quite sincere on the surface.

As Mu En led the prayer, the branches of the Golden Ancient Tree swayed slightly, as if responding to Mu En, but Mu En seemed oblivious, maintaining his bowed posture.

Faced with Mu En, the Golden Ancient Tree stopped shaking, as if it were confronting Mu En.

This state lasted for a long time until Bei Bei's condition worsened. Just as Zhuang Lao was about to use the Tree of Life Martial Soul to give Bei Bei another breath, the Golden Ancient Tree suddenly showed unusual activity.

The golden light that had healed Mu En fell from the Golden Ancient Tree once more.

However, this time, the golden light did not envelop the entire Shrek Academy. Instead, it only fell on Bei Bei, who was being held in the air by Mu En's Soul Power.

A miracle occurred again; Bei Bei's withered body quickly recovered, and her breathing, which was initially on the verge of stopping, gradually became stable.

Upon seeing this, all the elders present breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, in particular, seemed to have just escaped death, only managing to survive with the help of the Golden Ancient Tree.

Thank you Golden Ancient Tree, for allowing them to continue living!

Bei Bei's recovery should have been a great thing, but at this moment, Mu En couldn't feel happy at all.

He finally realized that the existence of the Golden Ancient Tree was not a good thing for the Shrek Academy!
