Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 503 Xuanzi's Forbearance!
Xuanzi continued flying, dodging intense artillery fire.

Since the seal on the soul core had been broken, a large amount of soul power spread from the soul core to his whole body, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

Having ceased burning the flame of life, Xuanzi multitasked, not only dodging artillery fire but also meticulously planning in his mind how and what evidence he should find to confirm Yan Shaozhe's traitorous identity after returning to the academy.

Dealing with Yan Shaozhe certainly can't be done the same way as dealing with Xu Sanshi. After all, Yan Shaozhe's strength and background are much stronger than Xu Sanshi's.

First of all, after our group arrived at the border of the Sun and Moon, we were ambushed by Kong Deming and his men. This must have been because a traitor leaked the information.

Although the situation is tense now, no war has actually broken out. Under these circumstances, it is perfectly normal for Kong Deming to be stationed in Mingdu. However, the possibility of such a person coming to the border is extremely low.

Of course, if it were only this matter, he still wouldn't be able to conclude in front of Elder Mu that Yan Shaozhe was a traitor to the academy.

However, after Huo Yuhao activated the Soul Core Seal to restrict him, he made some mistakes. Yan Shaozhe couldn't wait to scold him and further suppressed his prestige, which undoubtedly exacerbated the other elders' distrust of him.

Later, when he suggested burning his life flame to take a gamble, the other party agreed on the surface, but in reality did not burn his life flame. He was even rescued from the soul guide shield by Feng Ling.

Even the dense soul-guided artillery fire did not harm Yan Shaozheqiu. Clearly, the accumulation of various events made Xuanzi certain that these events were definitely not coincidences.

Yan Shaozhe is very likely to be colluding not only with the Sun and Moon Sect, but also with the Holy Spirit Sect.

Perhaps the other party was able to collude with the Sun Moon Empire because of their connection with the Holy Spirit Cult.

In Xuanzi's view, Yan Shaozhe used his Martial Soul True Body to "save" his group simply to clear his name, so he had to do something to prove his innocence.

As for the reason why Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe conspired to harm him, Xuanzi has come to some conclusions after some thought.

According to his speculation, the Holy Spirit Cult must now be allied with the Sun Moon Empire. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult's teams are now able to appear in the Soul Fighting Tournament hosted by the Sun Moon Empire, and even though the Holy Spirit Cult teams displayed evil soul master techniques during the competition, the Sun Moon Empire did not send anyone to arrest these guys.

If the two sides hadn't joined forces, how could the Sun Moon Empire have done something like this?

Even if they join forces, it doesn't mean they are of one mind. There are too many factions and forces within the Sun Moon Empire, so it's impossible for them to be a monolithic entity. It's quite normal for some high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Empire to be at odds with the evil soul masters.

Huo Yuhao should be one of the high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Sect who are at odds with evil soul masters. Behind him should be Kong Deming, who once captured him. Although Huo Yuhao set a soul core seal on himself, Kong Deming had also subtly reminded him that Yan Shaozhe and Ye Xishui had the same martial soul.

Today, the other party used the seal on my soul core for the second time, causing me to be injured by Yan Shaozhe. This should be a reminder that Yan Shaozhe is not only a traitor, but also someone who is after me.

He was only injured by the clash of his Martial Soul True Body, but Yan Shaozhe would take his life in the future! After all, the biggest obstacle Yan Shaozhe faced in the Sea God Pavilion was himself. He had wisdom, strength, and experience, making him the only candidate to become the next Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.

As for Yan Shaozhe, only after I step down from my position as the head of the Sea God Pavilion can he become the head of the Sea God Pavilion and thus gain more power. But does Yan Shaozhe really have that kind of patience?
Once Elder Mu passes away, Yan Shaozhe will likely make his move against him, which will inevitably lead to a bloodbath. After all, he is one of the obstacles to Yan Shaozhe becoming the master of the Sea God Pavilion, and he is extremely cruel to evil soul masters, making him a nemesis of evil soul masters.

"Elder Xuan, why didn't you dodge my Martial Soul True Body just now? You didn't even use much of your soul power. Otherwise, logically speaking, my Martial Soul True Body shouldn't have injured you." Yan Shaozhe asked Xuanzi with a worried expression, as this was quite unusual.

Xuanzi's thoughts were interrupted. He looked at the worried look on Yan Shaozhe's face and cursed Yan Shaozhe in his heart for being hypocritical. He was indeed a hypocrite. Even at a time like this, he was still pretending to be so convincing.

Once I return to the academy, I must meet with Elder Mu and tell him about some of the events that occurred during this operation, expose Yan Shaozhe's traitorous identity, and save Shrek Academy from its dire straits.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, he forced a smile and made up an excuse, saying, "I was attacked by Kong Deming just now and I haven't recovered yet. This person may be a mental super Douluo. I have too few ways to defend against mental attacks, and the methods I have are not very effective."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe felt the same way and immediately said, "It's quite a coincidence that I was also attacked by a Super Douluo with a mental attribute using a mental soul skill just now. That feeling was indeed extremely uncomfortable."

Xuanzi nodded perfunctorily, responding to Yan Shaozhe with a few meaningless platitudes. Afterwards, he and the other elders clashed briefly at the border between the Sun and Moon, but under the counterattack of Kong Deming and the others, Xuanzi and his group failed to achieve their goal and could only slink away, leaving behind another corpse of Elder Lin, before choosing a strategic retreat.

After all, the deaths of two powerful elders are a huge loss, even for Shrek Academy.

In order to prevent further losses, and given that Xuanzi wanted to return to the academy as soon as possible, the Shrek Academy elders were forced to make a strategic retreat.

Of course, Xuanzi did not forget Elder Song and the other students who were still in the Sun Moon Empire. During the strategic retreat, he arranged for people to convey to Elder Song the request to abandon the mission and retreat as soon as possible.

Sun and Moon Palace.

Xu Tianran looked angry because he had just received news that Shrek Academy had sent elders to attack the border between the Sun and Moon.

"Shrek, what a Shrek! They actually did something as shameless as attacking the border between the Sun and Moon. If it weren't for Elder Kong receiving intelligence in advance and making arrangements, the Soul Master Corps at the Sun and Moon border would have suffered heavy casualties."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Shrek Elders' group is fleeing in panic like stray dogs because they lost two elders. This is actually good news for us. After all, we only lost soul tools and some tents, while the enemy lost two powerful elders. This is undoubtedly a worthwhile deal," Orange comforted her from the side.

Xu Tianran took a deep breath, his anger subsiding slightly: "Indeed, in a sense, this is good news. However, since Shrek Academy has launched an attack, I cannot remain indifferent; I must retaliate."
