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

Chapter 670 Xuanzi's Escape

His pupils contracted slightly, and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

Xuanzi's body was trembling uncontrollably, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He smelled the pungent stench of blood in the air, and the images of the Shrek students and Haotian Sect disciples he had just met flashed through his mind.

They were just living, breathing lives, and now they've been killed. I clearly promised to protect them, but in the end, I didn't fulfill that promise. Perhaps they believed I would protect them until their very last moment.

Xuanzi's eyes were red and filled with tears. He clenched his teeth, and the muscles on his face were contorted in pain.

He struggled to suppress his anger, refusing to return for revenge, and instead continued flying without looking back, attempting to leave the area.

His reason for doing this was simple: it wasn't because he was afraid of dying, but because he was afraid that his death would be utterly meaningless.

Only by surviving can he avenge the dead. If he dies on the battlefield now, it means that no one will be able to avenge these dead.

Escaping is the most important thing right now; after all, as long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback.

Once I return to Shrek Academy, I will resign and atone for my sins. I have made another grave mistake and am no longer worthy to serve as an elder of the Sea God Pavilion.

He made up his mind that even if Elder Mu tried to persuade him to stay again, he would not accept it.

Xuanzi's mind raced: "That kind of attack must have been Kong Deming's doing! That damned Kong Deming, one day I will avenge those who died because of you!"

"Elder Kong, should we continue pursuing Xuanzi?" Xu Tianyuan turned around and transmitted his voice to Kong Deming high in the sky behind him.

Kong Deming replied with a helpless expression, "No need. Just let Xuanzi retreat safely. His existence is of great benefit to the Sun Moon Empire."

In a sense, given the achievements he has made for the Sun Moon Empire, he is worthy of a personal audience with His Majesty and a substantial reward.

Xu Tianyuan's face showed a strange expression, but he agreed with Kong Deming's words. In a sense, Xuanzi was indeed a good helper for the Sun Moon Empire.

He nodded and replied, "Yes, Elder Kong!"

"Oh, and remember to arrange for people to spread the word that Xuanzi secretly seized power and made a series of blunders," Kong Deming instructed.

Now that the war is over, this news must be released in order to widen the gap between Shrek Academy, the two great empires, and other forces.

"Yes, Elder Kong, I will arrange for people to do this immediately!"

The Sun and Moon Army is outside the encirclement.

The group is flying rapidly through the air.

"Thank you all from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for your help. Otherwise, I would have had to die to prove my innocence in order to avoid becoming a prisoner."

"I will never forget your life-saving grace. In order to repay your kindness, please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help in the future!" Manyi looked at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples beside her with gratitude.

Not long ago, taking advantage of Xuanzi drawing the enemy's attention, she chose to break through from another location with Xu Jiujiu. However, during the breakout, they encountered an ambush by the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps. The combat power of this Beast King-level Soul Master Corps was extremely terrifying. In just one exchange, their personal guards were blasted into dust by the Soul Guidance Cannon.

As a titled Douluo, Man Yi naturally lacked the ability to fight against the entire Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, and she soon found herself in grave danger and trapped in a desperate situation.

However, the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps was extremely cautious in their attacks on Xu Jiujiu, fearing that they might go too far and kill her.

This approach is quite normal. You have to understand that Xu Jiujiu is the Marshal of the Allied Forces and the sister of the Star Luo Emperor. The value of capturing such a person alive is far greater than the value of killing him.

Xu Jiujiu understood this at the time, and she even considered suicide. After all, she believed that if she fell into the hands of the Sun and Moon Army, she would become a bargaining chip and affect her brother's decision.

Fortunately, members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School happened to pass by and, seeing the two in dire straits, immediately intervened. After a fierce battle, they finally rescued Manyi and Xu Jiujiu from the clutches of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

"It's only right to lend a helping hand, but let's forget about repaying the favor, Elder Xing, don't you agree?" Ning Xiujie said with a smile.

Although that wasn't what he really thought, Ning Xiujie naturally had to say some polite things at this time, and couldn't reveal his true thoughts.

Elder Xing nodded in agreement: "That's right. You're not in a good situation right now, so there's no need to worry about repaying our kindness. We saved you, not so that you would repay us."

Man Yi shook her head helplessly: "How can this be? No matter what, we must repay the life-saving grace."

Xu Jiujiu, who was standing to the side, chimed in, "Grandma Manyi is right, Sect Leader Ning, Elder Xing. Grandma Manyi and I are indeed in a very bad situation right now, and we are unable to repay your kindness at present."

However, I promise you here that once I return to Star Luo City, I will meet with my elder brother and inform him of your efforts in leading some members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to rescue us.”

"My brother is a grateful person and will definitely repay you properly."

Ning Xiujie was delighted, but a helpless expression appeared on his face: "Princess Jiujiu, you really don't need to do this. Elder Xing and I really don't care about this kind of thing."

“No, it’s absolutely necessary!” Xu Jiu sighed for a long time, then looked at Ning Xiujie with a serious gaze and pleaded, “Sect Master Ning, please continue to stand with the Star Luo Empire. The allied forces have suffered another major defeat, which not only means that more Star Luo territory has fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire, but also means that it will be even more difficult to organize a counterattack.”

After all, the allied forces suffered heavy losses this time, so we will need your assistance along with the people of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future!

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiujie's expression turned solemn: "Rest assured, Princess Jiujiu, even if you hadn't said anything, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would have stood firmly on the side of the Star Luo Empire without hesitation and would have provided strong support to the allied forces. After all, the Sun Moon Empire is an evil empire, while the Star Luo Empire represents justice."

Moreover, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has suffered heavy losses in this war; even my daughter perished. If I cannot avenge the evil Sun Moon Empire, how can I possibly continue to serve as the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?

As he spoke, his eyes reddened, tears welled up, and a look of sadness appeared on his face. Old Xing, standing to the side, remained silent, only inwardly praising Xiu Jie's acting skills as quite good.

"Sect Leader Ning, please accept my condolences. You will have a chance for revenge in the future," Xu Jiujiu comforted her.

Star Luo City.

Star Luo Palace.

Xu Jiawei looked at the urgent report in his hand with a gloomy expression.
