Xuan Zi Decides to Endure Humiliation and Bear Heavy Burdens-Let His Life Burn

Although the Holy Spirit Cult lost in this semi-final, and everyone except Tang Ya died, Zhongli Wu did not take this defeat to heart at all.

He was only looking forward to the agreement he made with Xuan Zi, as the time to take action against Huo Yuhao was drawing ever closer.

If given the chance, Zhongli Wu would like to have Tang Ya devour all of Huo Yuhao's Life Force and vitality.

In this way, the benefits that Tang Ya can gain will far exceed those of Devouring Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

However, Zhongli Wu also knew what kind of impact it would have to take action against Huo Yuhao, a peerless genius, in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

Regardless of success or failure, they will face the Sun Moon Empire's furious retaliation.

Even Zhongli Wu himself wasn't very confident about this operation, so of course he couldn't let Tang Ya take any risks.

After careful consideration, Zhongli Wu still instructed Zhang Peng to take Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, the two Saintess, away from the Sun Moon Empire ahead of schedule.

He and the others stayed behind for the time being, and after this Soul Master Competition was completely over, they would join Xuan Zi in launching an attack on Huo Yuhao.

Zhang Peng did not refuse. Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, who had received Huo Yuhao's instructions, also followed Zhongli Wu's instructions and left with Zhang Peng.

Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao knew very well that this time, neither Zhongli Wu nor Xuan Zi could escape their doom and were destined to die in Mingdu.

As for whether Huo Yuhao will be in danger?

Are you kidding me?

How could their owner possibly stop here?

To prevent any accidents, Zhongli Wu still sought out Xuan Zi and decided to have another in-depth conversation with him.

Looking at Xuanzi, who was drunk in a tavern and looked even more decadent than before, exuding an aura of despair, Zhong Liwu flashed a trace of ridicule on his face, full of contempt for the Gluttonous Douluo.

"Xuan Zi, have you fallen so low?"

Xuan Zi looked up at Zhongli Wu with dazed eyes. The moment he saw him, the scene of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi being devoured by Tang Ya in the previous match flashed through his mind.

In an instant, Xuan Zi's body, surging with killing intent, erupted with a terrifying aura.

Fortunately, Zhongli Wu had taken precautions and immediately enveloped the two of them with the aura that Xuan Zi had unleashed, preventing it from affecting the other customers in the tavern.

Otherwise, the Sun Moon Empire's security force would probably send out Rank Nine Soul Engineer to arrest the two of them immediately.

Zhongli Wu smiled slightly at Xuan Zi and said nonchalantly.

"Still so impulsive. No matter how many setbacks you suffer, you're not going to change at all."

"Do you still think that the students who died were killed because of our Holy Spirit Cult? Let me tell you again, they died because you were so useless."

Zhongli Wu's words were harsh, but they instantly calmed Xuan Zi down.

Xuan Zi suppressed his aura, ignoring Zhongli Wu's sarcastic remarks, and picked up the wine gourd in front of him to gulp down the wine.

Although Xuan Zi desperately wanted to kill Zhongli Wu, he also knew that without Zhongli Wu's help, he would never have been able to successfully kill Huo Yuhao in the Sun Moon Empire.

For the sake of the Shrek Academy's future, Xuan Zi felt he should endure humiliation and bear the burden.

However, Xuan Zi's behavior also revealed his inner thoughts to Zhongli Wu, which made Zhongli Wu breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Fortunately Xuan Zi hasn't completely gone mad yet, otherwise even he would have a headache about what to do.

Since Xuan Zi still retains a Sisi rationality, he will become the best tool to deal with Huo Yuhao.

Thinking of this, Zhongli Wu looked at Xuan Zi with a smile and said.

"Xuan Zi, does the agreement we made before still stand?"

After drinking his fill, Xuan Zi put down his wine gourd and looked at Zhongli Wu in front of him, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Of course it counts. Just like we said before, we'll kill Huo Yuhao together after the Soul Master Competition ends."

"But let me warn you beforehand, after I kill Huo Yuhao, I will definitely kill you, even if it costs me my life."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu's eyes suddenly turned extremely cold, but he quickly recovered, twitched the corners of his mouth, and chuckled.

"Then bring it on. If you want to kill me, let's see if you have the ability."

"I will settle our score with you personally after the Soul Master Competition ends and I successfully kill Huo Yuhao. But before that, I hope you won't disappoint me again."

"You should also know very well that if we can kill Huo Yuhao, this peerless genius, it would be a good thing for the Shrek Academy."

"On the contrary, if Huo Yuhao were still alive, with his terrifying talent and the current overall strength of the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Empire would definitely declare war on us."

"By then, do you think the feud between your Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy, and the fact that Shrek Academy has been glorious for tens of thousands of years, will still be able to continue to exist?"

This is not an exaggeration by Zhongli Wu.

Everyone knows very well that if the mainland is truly unified...

Regardless of who ultimately achieves unification, it is absolutely impossible to allow Shrek Academy, such a formidable threat, to continue to exist.

Given the chance, we will definitely destroy Shrek Academy completely.

Even Xuan Zi was well aware of this.

"You don't need to tell me this. Even if it costs me my life, I will completely eliminate Huo Yuhao."

Zhongli Wu nodded in satisfaction after receiving the response, and without wasting any more time with Xuan Zi, he turned around and left the tavern.

Zhongli Wu knew that after experiencing all sorts of setbacks, Xuan Zi had completely given up on life and death.

Regardless of whether or not Huo Yuhao can be killed this time, Xuan Zi will not be able to continue living.

Xuan Zi, that old good-for-nothing, lives or dies is not important, but Zhongli Wu's ambition is not yet fulfilled, and he does not want to die in this Mingdu with Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi stared at Zhongli Wu's back, his eyes burning with murderous intent.

In these final moments of his life, let him burn brightly and make a final contribution to the Shrek Academy.

At the same time that Zhongli Wu and Xuan Zi parted ways, Wei Na and Princess Xu Jiujiu had already met up.

Neither of them brought their respective protectors, because both of them were very clear that the conversation that was about to take place was not suitable for outsiders to be present, and absolutely could not be overheard by anyone else.

Wei Na recounted what Du Busi had said earlier that day, and after finishing, she looked at Xu Jiujiu with a grave expression and slowly spoke.

"Sister Jiujiu, the truth is just as Du Busi said. The ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire can no longer be concealed. After this Soul Master Competition ends, they will definitely launch a war against us."

"Faced with such a Sun Moon Empire, what choice will your Star Luo Empire make?"
