Bei Bei Escapes, but Is Arrested

Mu En kept his word and indeed did not interfere in any of the affairs of the Clear Sky Empire again.

Even though they knew that Tang Wei would ultimately send people to use ruthless methods to suppress ordinary people who wanted to escape from the Clear Sky Empire.

Mu En made no attempt to stop them, letting them do as they pleased, simply watching indifferently.

Mu En knew very well that he would soon witness the decline of the Clear Sky Empire and how the Sun Moon Empire would step on them to completely unify the Douluo Continent.

In the past, Mu En would have been extremely anxious and would have tried every means to change the status quo and prevent this from happening.

But now, Mu En suddenly felt that it might be the best outcome to let the Sun Moon Empire unify the Douluo Continent.

At least those people in the Sun Moon Empire are not like the high-ranking officials of the Clear Sky Empire or the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult.

They still have goodwill towards ordinary people, and while developing their military power, they have not forgotten to improve the livelihoods of ordinary people within their own borders.

If the Clear Sky Empire were in the current position of the Sun Moon Empire, Tang Wei and his ilk would probably have already tried every means to exploit their own people, making them use their lives to provide sustenance for them.

For Mu En now, these things are no longer important.

Even knowing that Shrek Academy's legacy would be cut off, Mu En was able to accept it calmly.

Only a little bit remained, which still worried Mu En.

That's Bei Bei's great-grandson.

After being treated by the Golden Ancient Tree, Bei Bei's Martial Soul did not recover, and he completely lost the possibility of continuing to be Soul Master, but at least his body recovered.

Now, Bei Bei has become a real man again, possessing the potential to ensure the continuation of the Grandmaster's lineage.

It was precisely because of this that, when faced with this desperate situation, Mu En, like Dai Hao before him, had the idea of letting Bei Bei leave and live her own life under an assumed name.

Looking at Bei Bei in front of him, Mu En spoke slowly.

"Don't hesitate any longer, and don't worry about my safety. As long as you can live well and our lineage can continue, that's enough."

"The lineage of the Golden Holy Dragon, passed down from Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago, cannot be severed here with you."

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei's eyes revealed a hint of sadness as she looked up and met the gaze of her Grand Ancestor.

"Grand Ancestor, are you planning to give up?"

Mu En shook his head, sighed deeply, and said helplessly.

"At this point, it's no longer important whether I give up or not."

"Right now, I'm being pushed along by this complicated situation, and there's no turning back."

If there were even the slightest chance, knowing the ship was going to sink, Mu En would certainly have chosen to jump overboard and escape.

But as the head of the Sea God Pavilion at the Shrek Academy, his target was far too conspicuous.

Even if he escapes now, the Sun Moon Empire will definitely do everything in its power to find him after the war ends.

This would not only prevent them from continuing to live, but would also disrupt Bei Bei's life of living in anonymity.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to use one's own life to create an opportunity for Bei Bei, a chance for Bei Bei to live.

Bei Bei opened her mouth and said with a pained expression.

"But didn't Grand Ancestor say before that there was still a chance? Didn't you say that as long as we hold on until the connection between the Divine Realm Douluo Continent is restored, we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory in this war?"

"Why, why are you giving up now?"

Mu En simply shook his head, offering no explanation.

That so-called opportunity was far too slim.

No one can guarantee when the connection between the Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm will be restored.

By letting Bei Bei leave now, he has made two preparations.

If they ultimately lose, at least Bei Bei will be able to ensure the continuation of the Golden Holy Dragon lineage.

Even if the connection between the Divine Realm Douluo Continent is restored before the war ends, he can still bring Bei Bei back after the victory.

For Mu En, this kind of hedging strategy was already second nature.

Mu En stood up, patted Bei Bei on the shoulder, and forced a smile as he spoke.

"Alright, Bei Bei, your Grand Ancestor has lived for hundreds of years and has long since become indifferent to life and death."

"Moreover, my life should have ended several years ago. It was only because of the healing from the Golden Ancient Tree that I was able to live for a few more years. That's already a great deal."

"To avoid any complications and to prevent the people of the Sun Moon Empire from noticing anything amiss, I will send you to the place where ordinary people in the Heavenly Soul Empire live."

"After that, you will pretend to be a refugee like them and leave this so-called Clear Sky Empire. Whether you go to the Star Luo Empire or Dou Ling Empire is up to you."

Bei Bei's lips trembled, and two streams of hot tears welled up in her eyes.

Even though Mu En didn't say it outright, Bei Bei knew very well that this separation was already a farewell.

From then on, he probably would never have the chance to see Grand Ancestor again.

No matter how reluctant Bei Bei was, since Mu En had already made his decision, he certainly wouldn't waste any more time.

They sent Bei Bei away very decisively, and no one noticed during the process.

After calming down, Bei Bei pretended to be an ordinary person from the Heavenly Soul Empire and traveled with others towards the Dou Ling Empire.

Unfortunately, no matter how well Bei Bei disguised himself, he still couldn't hide the fact that he had a temperament that was fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.

In particular, the melancholy temperament that Bei Bei has developed over the years makes him look more like a fallen aristocrat.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to reach the Dou Ling Empire smoothly.

However, the borders of the Clear Sky Empire are now guarded by people who control the empire, specifically to screen these refugees for any special individuals hiding their identities.

After noticing Bei Bei's unusual behavior, the Soul Engineer in charge of the area quickly took him away.

Faced with this situation, Bei Bei was utterly desperate.

He was just about to make up his mind to live an ordinary life under an assumed name when he was arrested. What's going on?

Fortunately, the Soul Engineer noticed Bei Bei's panic and comforted him, telling him not to be afraid and that the Sun Moon Empire would treat a fallen nobleman like him well.

Then, Bei Bei was surprised to find that he was not the only one who was taken away in this way. More than a dozen impoverished nobles who originally belonged to the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and even the Star Luo Empire had gathered together.

Bei Bei couldn't sense any tension on their faces. After calming herself down, she looked at them and asked what was going on.

However, the answer she received was completely Bei Bei.

According to those Soul Engineer, the Sun Moon Empire would not only not kill them, but would even help them continue their family lineage.
