At this time, Mingdu.
Zhang Peng escorted Lu Ren safely back to the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.
The first thing after returning to Mingdu was to say goodbye to Lu Ren and set off for Holy Spirit Cult's secret headquarters to prepare to meet Cult Master Zhongli Wu.
Lu Ren didn't hold him back, he just said "Brother Peng, take care" before he left.
Both of them knew that Zhang Peng's identity in Holy Spirit Cult was an extremely important secret chess piece.
Soon, Zhang Peng met Cult Master Zhongli Wu in an important stronghold of Holy Spirit Cult.
Zhongli Wu was sitting on a high position. When he saw Zhang Peng, his expression turned gloomy. "What's the matter with you? I haven't seen you in recent times. You ran out secretly? I asked people to go to your residence to look for you several times, but you didn't even see a shadow."
"Yes, I went out for a trip."
Zhang Peng, on the other hand, looked like a pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He stood carelessly in the hall, not at all nervous because of Cult Master's question.
"But I have brought two pieces of good news. You can listen to it or not. If not, I will leave now. Anyway, these two pieces of news have nothing to lose to me."
Zhongli Wu stared at him for several breaths, with an uncertain look in his eyes.
Zhang Peng is the most special offering among Holy Spirit Cult.
He joined Holy Spirit Cult not to kill people or set fire to people, but just to find a place where he would not be excluded.
This kind of person is difficult to control, but his strength is indeed hard to let go of.
Zhongli Wu finally suppressed his anger and nodded slightly. "Let's talk about it. If it's really valuable, I won't pursue you for going out without authorization."
"The first point." Zhang Peng held out a finger, with undisguised pride in his tone, "I'm about to break through Rank 97."
"Huh?!"
Zhongli Wu suddenly sat upright in his seat, a rare surprise flashed through his usually cold eyes.
He carefully felt the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from Zhang Peng.
Indeed, the ninety-sixth level bottleneck that has trapped Zhang Peng for many years has been significantly loosened. When Soul Power circulates in Meridians, there is a faint tension that is about to break out of the cocoon.
This kind of thing cannot be faked, and there is no need to fake it.
"This is indeed a happy event! Scorpion Tiger Douluo of Rank 97, and I, Holy Spirit Cult, will welcome another person with top combat power!"
"Now that the situation in the mainland is turbulent, one more strong person will give us more confidence."
A rare smile appeared on Zhongli Wu's gloomy face. He walked down from the high seat, patted Zhang Peng's shoulder, and said in a warmer tone, "It seems that you have taken it lightly. For the life-saving grace of Mu En. Over the years, the knot in your heart has been blocking your cultivation. Now that the knot is loosened, your cultivation will naturally come naturally. This is also the reason for your breakthrough. It is a good thing. I did not misjudge you."
"Okay, now that you have gone out without permission, just let me know in advance where you want to go."
Zhang Peng then stretched out his second finger and said in an unhurried tone, "As for the second news, I found a genius in Star Luo City."
"Genius?"
Zhongli Wu raised his eyebrows and didn't take it seriously.
He has seen a lot of geniuses. Shrek mass-produces so-called geniuses every year. How many can finally break through Titled Douluo?
Wasn't it because Xuan Zi led the team that killed most of them?
To be honest, in terms of the number of geniuses who have been killed, even Holy Spirit Cult is not as awesome as Xuan Zi.
What's more, if they discover a genius, their Holy Spirit Cult first thought is to recruit, not to kill----
"What kind of genius is worthy of your coming to tell me?"
"It's Shrek's genius." Zhang Peng added slowly.
Zhongli Wu's eyes condensed slightly.
"Due to participating in Continental Tournament, that little girl Qi Deviation was completely devoured by Evil Fire in Evil Fire Phoenix during the competition. Martial Soul Evolution became pure Evil Soul Master, Evil Fire Phoenix mutated and became Evil Martial Soul with Ultimate Fire attributes."
Zhang Peng speaks authentically.
"Twenty-year-old Soul Saint is still a mutant of the top Beast Martial Soul like Evil Fire Phoenix. She has high cultivation, deep potential, and a clean background. Shrek is in such a mess right now that they can't even care about her."
Zhongli Wu After listening, two scorching lights suddenly lit up in those eyes.
His hands behind his back clenched unconsciously.
Zhang Peng may not understand how rare Martial Soul Mutation is, but as Holy Spirit Cult Master, he knows what it means better than anyone else.
The variant of Evil Fire Phoenix, with Ultimate Fire attributes, broke through Soul Saint at the age of twenty. This kind of seedling is Holy Spirit Cult, which is the best that Thousand-Year rarely encounters.
With a little training, he will be a Super Douluo level with top combat power in the future, and may even have a chance to hit the Level 98 and Tsukumo levels!
"Twenty-year-old Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Saint, good, very good! Zhang Peng, this news of yours is more valuable than the first news! Shrek is too busy taking care of herself right now, and has no energy to take care of her at all. This is a God-given opportunity, you must not miss it!"
Zhongli Wu made a decision immediately, with uncontrollable excitement and murderous aura in his voice. "Gather people immediately and prepare to go to Shrek to snatch people. Before they can react now, get the people first."
"This little girl will be my Holy Spirit Cult future saint, Evil Fire Phoenix Saintess!"
"When she grows up, she will be able to fight even against that old immortal Mu En!"
Then he turned to Zhang Peng and his tone softened a bit.
"You don't need to participate in this operation. Stay at headquarters and prepare for a breakthrough. Breaking through to Rank 97 is more important than any other action."
"If you need any resources, just ask. As long as it helps you break through, I will give you everything I have in the church."
Zhang Peng nodded and agreed calmly.
He turned around and walked out of the palace, his black robe dragging a long shadow under the dim light.
When he walked out of the palace door and confirmed that there was no one else around, a complex smile that only he could understand slowly appeared on his old face.
Little brother, I did everything you asked me to help you with.
Pass the news that Ma Xiaotao is Evil Soul Master to Holy Spirit Cult, and ask Holy Spirit Cult to rob Shrek.
Regardless of whether Zhongli Wu can snatch the person away, as long as Holy Spirit Cult takes action, Shrek will have one more enemy and one more trouble.
And the fact that Ma Xiaotao was swallowed up by Evil Fire and turned into Evil Soul Master will also become an irrefutable stain on Shrek.
Not only that, Shrek just happened to be destroyed by Sea of Blood, and he was still in shock.
Mu En's life is about to end and he is unable to fight anymore. His high-end combat power is almost zero, and only two Level 97 Elders are left struggling to support themselves.
At this moment, Holy Spirit Cult came out in full force, which can be said to be draining the fire and making matters worse.
If Ma Xiaotao is kidnapped again, Shrek will not only lose a top new generation, but will also be completely stigmatized as "the breeder of Evil Soul Master". From then on, his moral integrity will be lost, his reputation will be tarnished, and he will become a laughing stock in the mainland.
This hand can't be said to be cruel or poisonous.
"Little brother, your game of chess is really big."
Zhang Peng whispered to himself, his eyes full of admiration.
Killing kills the heart, cuts off the strength and roots.
In one battle, Star Luo Empire broke his muscles and bones; the Holy Spirit took action, ruined his reputation, and further weakened Shrek's combat power.
Two moves in a row, killing each other step by step, not giving Shrek any chance to breathe and recover.
It's simply useless Blood Blade!
While Holy Spirit Cult was undercurrent and full of murderous intent, Mingdu Hongchen Family's mansion was filled with gentle breeze and tranquility.
This extremely large mansion is located in the most prosperous inner city of Mingdu. Its high walls and deep courtyard isolate it from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. In the courtyard, there are rockeries and flowing water, and several century-old Ancient Tree plants cast mottled shadows in the morning light.
Lu Ren sat in front of the window, his fingertips gently rubbing the dark and deep Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Soul Bone.
The bone surface is as smooth as a mirror, the tentacles are cold, and a faint dark light can be seen slowly flowing deep in the bone. Every time it circulates, it exudes very faint negative emotional fluctuations, just like the sleeping ancient Ferocious Beast breathing silently.
--
Now that he has returned to Mingdu, he has been regarded as a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests by the Hongchen Family.
Jing Hongchen knew that he did not have a decent place to stay in Mingdu, so he personally invited him to stay in his family for a while, and even arranged an extremely luxurious room for him.
The whole room is wide and bright, and the furniture is all made of fine Rosewood. There are several small Energy-Gathering Soul Tool lights embedded in the walls, which can make the concentration of Heaven and Earth Energy in the room double that of the outside world.
Lu Ren did not refuse. Hongchen Family has huge power and profound foundation in the Sun Moon Empire. Since the other party took the initiative to show his kindness, why should he refuse?
There are many friends and many paths, let alone friends of Jing Hongchen's level.
"Kurourushi." Lu Ren put down Soul Bone and called in a low voice.
In the shadows in the corner of the room, at the base of the wall farthest from Lu Ren, a figure wrapped in a black robe appeared silently.
Kurourushi appeared three feet away from him this time. This was a strict rule set by Lu Ren for it.
If this cockroach dared to appear on his bed, or even get too close to him, I'm afraid Lu Ren would collapse on the spot, and then he couldn't help but use Reverse Cursed Technique to purify it repeatedly to vent his anger.
Although Kurourushi's simple mind is completely unable to understand why its owner is so afraid of itself, in its view, it is clearly a perfectly evolved form, but its owner still hates it.
But it is worth mentioning that Cursed Energy, which was transformed from the constant fear coming from the owner, tastes really good.
Every time Lu Ren sees it, it jumps back in fright. It can feast on high-quality Cursed Energy. Where can I find such a good thing?
"You go to the Shrek Academy. You don't need to take action. You just need to lurk in the dark and wait for my next order."
Lu Ren looked away from Kurourushi and tried to only look at the scenery outside the window.
"I guess Zhang Peng is almost done, and the people at Holy Spirit Cult will take action against Shrek soon.
"If Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek get into a fight, take advantage of the chaos and kidnap Bei Bei back to me."
"Remember, it was kidnapped, not eaten. Although that kid was mostly crippled by your Festering Life Sword, he is the only blood descendant of Mu En, and he is much more useful alive than dead."
"With him, Mu En, even if he wants to die with me, he has to think carefully about it first."
Kurourushi stood there blankly, countless compound eyes blinked at the same time, and the tentacles swung in the air a few times, as if they were trying to digest these instructions.
Then it nodded stiffly, and the shadow under its feet suddenly spread into a dark space, and its entire body silently sank into it and disappeared into the room.
After Kurourushi left, Lu Ren breathed a long sigh of relief.
The cockroach finally left him.
Although Kurourushi is after all a warrior equivalent to Super Douluo level, he made great contributions in the battle of Star Luo City. Titled Douluo alone killed no less than five of them, and in the end, he cooperated with Corpse Explosion Technique to annihilate the remaining soldiers of Shrek in one fell swoop.
But to be honest, its appearance is a bit too strange.
Every time I see that cockroach head peeking out from the shadows, Lu Ren needs great perseverance to resist the urge to use Reverse Cursed Technique to physically transcend it.
"You must be prepared to deal with Mu En's revenge at any time."
Lu Ren suppressed the disgust in his heart and brought his thoughts back on track.
"Bei Bei is the only blood descendant of Mu En in this world. Xuan Zi is dead, Yan Shaozhe is dead, Xian Lin'er is dead. Those who have died of old age are useless. There are not many people Mu En really cares about anymore."
"But as long as Bei Bei is still with him, he will still have concerns and worries."
"Controlling Bei Bei first is equivalent to putting a knife on Mu En's weakness. If he wants to die with me, he must first think about whether his great-grandson can survive."
