Tang San: Do it!
Deep in the Sunset Forest, Seven-Colored Poison Miasma churned along the withered tree canopy, completely blocking out the light in the forest.
Two figures stopped at the edge of the miasma.
Jing Hongchen raised his right hand, and a layer of pale golden soul-guiding light screen lit up on the level eight Invincible Shield generator on his wrist.
He tentatively took three steps forward, shielded by the protective barrier. As soon as the colorful mist on the outside touched the light screen, fine ripples spread across its surface, emitting a slight hissing corrosion sound.
Jing Hongchen paused, then stepped back. "No wonder this place has been hidden for so many years."
"The informant said Xu Jiawei has been arrested?"
Beneath the black robe beside him, Zhongli Wu flipped his hand and put away a communication Soul Tool that had just gone dark:
"Yan Shaozhe personally led them in, and they haven't come out yet."
"It seems the negotiations haven't been finalized yet." Jing Hongchen removed his Soul Tool Shield, replacing it with a layer of close-fitting Soul Power, and looked up into the depths of the Poison Miasma.
"Let's go, don't wait until they've finished distributing the medicine."
The two suppressed their auras to a minimum and disappeared into the thick fog one after the other.
The atmosphere within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remained frozen.
Xu Jiawei stood rooted to the spot, his gaze passing over Tang San and meeting Xuan Zi's eyes directly behind him:
"Two medicinal herbs will benefit two people: one is the princess who will marry into the academy in the future, and the other is a disciple personally trained by the academy."
"Xuan Zi Star Luo Empire's condition considered greedy?"
He adopted a very humble attitude today, and even endured the embarrassment of Cheng Gang being reprimanded to his face.
After the conflict at the Mingde Hall, the grudge between Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire deepened, and the situation on the continent was on the verge of exploding. Shrek also needed the Star Luo Empire as a weapon. He didn't Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe couldn't even understand this basic stake.
Xuan Zi's fingers, which were holding the wine gourd, twitched. Before he could even open his mouth, the impatience in Tang San's eyes, who was standing at the front, had turned into coldness.
He's suffered far too much humiliation these past few days.
That little bastard Gu Mingyuan not only stole his Immortal Herb and shattered his Sea God's Divine Soul with those strange gauntlets, but he also somehow guessed his greatest weakness, forcing him to swallow this blood for the time being.
Huo Yuhao, sitting on the other side of the mountain wall, had Yu Xiaogang, that traitor, hidden in his Sea of Consciousness. But Huo Yuhao was burdened with the destiny of this era and would be of great use in the future, so he could only grit his teeth and tolerate it.
But what is this mortal emperor compared to that?
He's just a descendant of the Xu Family who isn't even Titled Douluo, yet he dares to haggle with me and force me to give in?
What truly fueled Tang San's murderous intent was the look of surprise and inquiry in Xu Jiawei's eyes when he scrutinized him. He would rather kill the innocent than let even the slightest hint of the "Sea God" slip out.
Tang San glanced at Huo Yuhao was still sitting cross-legged at the foot of the mountain wall in the distance, refining the Ice-Cold Rain Dew, and suddenly thought of the marriage alliance that Xu Jiawei had mentioned earlier.
If his remnant soul wants to return to the Divine Realm, or even compete with Tang San Divine Realm, who holds Dual Godhood, he must keep Huo Yuhao, this pawn of destiny, in his hands.
But Wang Dong in the academy is clearly a trap set up by the Divine Realm long ago. If Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong continue to get close, not only will he be working hard to benefit others, but he will also be exposed sooner or later.
Princess Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire is a perfect candidate. She can both keep Huo Yuhao in check and sever his ties with the Divine Realm.
Once the thought was settled, Tang San withdrew his gaze, and simultaneously transmitted a wisp of Divine Sense into the ears of Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe:
"Kill him and throw him into the cold spring."
Boom!
Xuan Zi's five fingers gripping the wine gourd suddenly tightened, almost crushing the hard gourd spout with his hand. Yan Shaozhe, standing beside him, stiffened, his breath catching in his throat.
Almost simultaneously, the two looked down at the blue-haired child in front of them, who barely reached their waists, and for a moment wondered if they had misheard.
That's the reigning emperor of the Star Luo Empire!
Xuan Zi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he hurriedly transmitted his voice back:
"Ancestor, he was the ruler of a nation!"
"Before entering the mountains, he specifically sent a message to the Star Luo Imperial Palace: if he dies here—"
So what?
"Just change the emperor."
He raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Dai Hao standing beside Xu Jiawei, and continued to transmit his voice to the two of them:
"The three sons of the Dai Family are all Shrek's men. Help them reclaim the throne. Xu Jiujiu the marriage alliance with Huo Yuhao, and the two Immortal Herb, give them what they deserve."
Yan Shaozhe paused abruptly.
When Xu Jiawei blocked the door at the Heaven Dou City liaison point, the thought of supporting Dai Yueheng to take the throne actually flashed through his mind. However, the matter was of great importance, and he could only think about it gradually in the future. He did not dare to think about killing the emperor on the spot.
But now Tang San has personally given the order, and even planned out the aftermath for them after the killings.
The shock in Yan Shaozhe's eyes gradually faded, and his previously tense mind began to stir.
Xu Jiawei is a cunning man. If he dares to come to Shrek Academy today to demand medicine, he'll dare to ask for even more in the future. But if it's a new emperor from the Dai Family, whom Shrek Academy personally helped to the throne, and the Dai Family is the legitimate royal family from ten thousand years ago, wouldn't the entire Star Luo Empire be at the academy's mercy in the future?
As for the "three sons of the Dai Family" mentioned in the ancestral message, Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi only had Dai Yueheng from the Inner Court and Dai Huabin from the Outer Court in their minds. They assumed that their ancestor had just woken up and misremembered the number of people. At this critical juncture, no one had the mind to investigate who the extra one was.
Xuan Zi's brows remained furrowed in a tight knot, his voice still carrying a final trace of lingering concern:
"Dai Hao is right there; he holds military power in the Star Luo Empire. If things really come to a head, he might not be willing to..."
"The throne has been returned to the Dai Family, what more does he want?" Tang San interrupted Xuan Zi, his youthful face revealing no emotion.
"I'll handle the rest."
"Do it!"
Xu Jiawei watched as the three people opposite him exchanged glances, but none of them responded to his words, and a chill ran down his spine.
He subtly stepped back half an inch, and a dazzling starlight quietly ignited along his fingertips; the Star Crown Martial Soul had already reached his brow.
"Xuan Zi, everyone, what is this—"
Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Zi moved.
The Level 98 figure moved without making a sound, his withered right hand passing Xu Jiawei and striking Cheng Gang's chest from behind.
Ever since he was reprimanded, Cheng Gang had been on high alert. Seeing Xuan Zi raise his hand, he immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Bang!"
The earth-yellow palm strike landed solidly on Cheng Gang's arms.
The protective Soul Power couldn't even last a moment before it shattered with a deafening roar, the crisp sound of breaking bones mingling with a muffled groan.
Cheng Gang was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string, his back slamming into a boulder on the shore. The half-person-high bluestone shattered with a crash, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the rocks.
