The strange phenomenon that appeared above the Douluo Continent was also witnessed by the other factions.
When Qian Renxue appeared, Qian Daoliu's expression shifted slightly inside Spirit Hall's Worship Hall.
"Wasn't Xiao Xue in Heaven Dou City? Why has she suddenly appeared in this Light Screen? What exactly happened? What are Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo even doing?"
Qian Daoliu watched the images within the Light Screen, anger surfacing on his face for the first time in a long while.
Qian Renxue was the hope of the Angel Clan. If anything happened to her, how could he face the Angel Clan's ancestors and his son?
Thus, without much hesitation, Qian Daoliu directly transmitted his voice, ordering the Third Offering, Azure Luan Douluo, to personally visit Heaven Dou City and ask what exactly had happened.
After Azure Luan Douluo set off, all the offerings in the Worship Hall ended their seclusion as well and watched the images in the Light Screen together.
"Did I hear that right just now? Xiao Xue said she couldn't sense her soul power?"
"What exactly is that hall? Its architectural style is completely different from ours on the Douluo Continent!"
"I hope Xiao Xue can turn misfortune into good fortune and come through unharmed!"
"..."
The voices of the other offerings did not make Qian Daoliu lower his guard. Worry still lingered on his face.
Meanwhile, inside Spirit Hall, not far from the Worship Hall, Bibi Dong froze briefly when she saw Qian Renxue appear in the Light Screen. She then cast a meaningful glance toward the Worship Hall without issuing any orders.
As time slowly passed, Xiao Wu appeared. Bibi Dong frowned slightly and asked Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo beside her:
"Who is this person? Do you know?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and said:
"Your Holiness, we do not know. We will send someone to investigate immediately."
"Mm, go quickly. I'd like to see just what caused this Light Screen to appear."
At the same time, inside Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City-the former Blue Tyrant Academy.
Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang gathered in the office, their faces filled with anxiety.
They had just returned from Sunset Forest, originally bringing good news. Yet after returning to the academy, they unexpectedly heard bad news from Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
(Note: To make the story a little more exciting, the original plot's progression has been deliberately changed here.)
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were missing. They had vanished from the academy into thin air, leaving them unable to eat or sleep in peace.
Xiao Wu was one thing, but Ning Rongrong was the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
That was one of the Upper Three Sects! If it erupted in anger, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan (Sect), which Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong originally came from, could not stand against it.
They had sent people searching everywhere and reported the news to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Now, they could only hope for good news.
"Teacher! Teacher! There's news of Xiao Wu!"
Just then, the three of them, their faces clouded with worry, heard Ma Hongjun's voice.
They exchanged glances, delight appearing on their faces, and immediately walked out of the office.
Once outside, Flender immediately spotted a fiery-red streak flying toward them. It was none other than Ma Hongjun.
But before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang said gravely:
"Boss Fu, look at the sky."
"The sky? What's there to look at?"
Flender instinctively looked up. At his very first glance, he froze on the spot.
"X-Xiao Wu? Why is she in that Light Screen?"
"Oh, Rongrong's there too. The two of them are together?"
Flender cried out in surprise and could not help turning toward the "knowledgeable" Yu Xiaogang beside him to ask:
"Xiaogang, can you make anything of this?"
Make anything of this, my ass! There was nothing about this in Spirit Hall's library either!
Yu Xiaogang's expression grew somewhat awkward, but he still shook his head and said:
"Boss Fu, this is my first time seeing anything like this too. Let's hope Xiao Wu and Rongrong are both safe!"
"Alas, how did Rongrong and Xiao Wu end up inside that Light Screen? Just what kind of world is that? And judging by their reactions, it seems they can't use soul power there!"
Liu Erlong sighed as she spoke, her voice filled with worry.
"They're girls! Without soul power to protect them, they aren't safe!"
Faced with Liu Erlong's concern, Yu Xiaogang and Flender exchanged a glance, neither daring to say much.
By then, Ma Hongjun had reached the three of them, his face covered in sweat. Behind him, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and the others arrived one after another.
They had personally gone out to search for Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. Only after seeing Xiao Wu appear in the Light Screen had they sent Ma Hongjun, the fastest among them, back to report.
What they had not expected was that Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were actually together.
Under everyone's gaze, the scene within the Light Screen changed as well. Dugu Yan's appearance brought expressions of hatred to the faces of the remaining Shrek Seven Devils.
When they saw Xiao Wu rush forward and beat Dugu Yan, Ma Hongjun was the first to cheer uncontrollably:
"Well done, Xiao Wu! Beat her hard! If it weren't for her, Third Brother wouldn't have been taken away by that old monster, and we wouldn't have been driven out of Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy!"
"Hmph! Without soul power, how could Dugu Yan stand against Xiao Wu? Give her a good beating!" Oscar chimed in.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing said nothing about this, instead looking toward Flender and the other two.
They knew the three had gone to find Little San. They simply had not learned the outcome because of Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's disappearance.
Under Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's gazes, the three adults' expressions darkened.
Flender looked at his cheering disciple, Ma Hongjun, and, his mind in turmoil, slapped him several meters away.
"Stop shouting! What Xiao Wu is doing will only put Little San at a disadvantage!"
Upon hearing Flender's words, Oscar immediately fell silent as well and hid behind Dai Mubai.
Only then did Yu Xiaogang explain:
"Alas, we went to see Dugu Bo earlier. His relationship with Little San wasn't as bad as we imagined. Little San seemed to have some means of gaining Dugu Bo's trust.
"But now, it seems everyone on the Douluo Continent can see this Light Screen. If Dugu Bo sees his granddaughter being bullied like this, how do you think he'll retaliate?"
At these words, Dai Mubai and the others' expressions changed drastically. Clearly, they also knew the situation was now extremely complicated.
"Xiaogang, why don't we make another trip to Sunset Forest and put pressure on Dugu Bo?"
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang and suggested this.
"It's too late?"
Yu Xiaogang watched the images in the Light Screen and shook his head helplessly. "We're too far from Sunset Forest. By the time we rush there, the daylilies will have gone cold. We can only hope Dugu Bo spares Little San's life out of respect for Clear Sky Douluo."
Yu Xiaogang no longer expected Tang San to remain safe and sound in Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo now had only this one granddaughter, whom he cherished like a treasure.
If anything happened to his granddaughter, Tang San might not be the only one to suffer. They would be implicated too.
That Xiao Wu really is a little disaster! I never wanted her to be with Little San back then, and now she's gone and done something like this. Alas!
Recalling what had happened at Nuoding Academy, Yu Xiaogang grew increasingly furious.
Xiao Wu had been far from polite to him back then. If not for his disciple's sake, he would have taught her a harsh lesson and made her understand how to respect her teachers and honor their teachings.
At the same time, hundreds of li away, outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the heart of Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo watched the images within the Light Screen, his eyes bloodshot, as though they were about to spit fire.
His granddaughter was actually being bullied like this?
"Shrek Academy? Tang San? Good, good, good! It seems I was still too merciful!"
Dugu Bo let out an enraged roar, then moved, flying toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well behind him.
Earlier, Tang San had claimed he could cure the Life-Bound Poison within Dugu Bo's body, so Dugu Bo had let him prepare medicine. Thus, Tang San was currently in the valley behind him.
Now, he was going to seize Tang San and give him a thorough thrashing. If anything happened to his granddaughter, he would make Tang San follow her to the grave.
