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

Chapter 675 Moon's Countermeasures
Tang Niu sighed, turned his head away, and dared not look Mu En in the eye: "Elder Mu, actually I don't want to break my promise and return to the Haotian Sect. After all, I haven't avenged so many of my disciples yet, how can I go back now?"
However, a representative from the Haotian Sect's affiliated forces came to convey the orders of the Grand Sect Master and the Second Sect Master, demanding that we return to the sect immediately. Although I am the Grand Elder, I must still obey the orders of the Grand Sect Master and the Second Sect Master.

He actually wanted to stay and seek revenge, after all, it was only right to avenge his fellow disciples.

If one does not seek revenge, one's mind will not be at peace.

However, the two sect leaders had long held considerable power, and even he dared not disobey their will.

Mu En took a deep breath, still wanting to try again: "Elder Tang Niu, is there really no room for maneuver? The allied forces cannot do without the support of your Haotian Sect."

"No." Tang Niu shook his head helplessly and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder Mu, I will take the disciples of Haotian Sect back now. As for the young sect leader, she is a special case and will remain here with you."

After saying that, he turned his head and walked away. After taking a few steps, he stopped, still feeling a little guilty: "Elder Mu, no matter what, it is wrong to break a promise. But after I return to the mountain gate, I am afraid I will never have the chance to leave the mountain gate again in this life to kill Xuanzi and other Sun and Moon experts."

Therefore, before I leave, I'd like to remind you that you could easily lure the Sun-Moon Realm experts and Xuanzi towards the location of the Haotian Sect's mountain gate. I can assure you that anyone who dares to invade the Haotian Sect's mountain gate will be met with a thunderous strike!

He had great confidence in the First and Second Sect Masters. After all, in his impression, both the First and Second Sect Masters were powerhouses far surpassing Limit Douluo.

The only drawback might be that the Grand Master and the Second Master cannot leave the sect without permission, but if someone attacks the Haotian Sect's mountain gate, then the Grand Master and the Second Master will have a reason to take action.

Mu En's eyes lit up: "Where is your Haotian Sect's mountain gate located?"

The Haotian Sect has been hidden from the world for ten thousand years and has always been very mysterious. Even Shrek Academy does not know the location of the Haotian Sect's mountain gate.

Tang Niu said in a deep voice, "The Haotian Sect's mountain gate is located within the Tianhun Empire. As for its exact location within the Tianhun Empire, I will not tell you for now. Once the war situation deteriorates to a certain extent, I will send someone to inform you of the Haotian Sect's location."

Then, we can work together to create the illusion that a powerful expert from the Sun and Moon realm accidentally discovered the Haotian Sect's mountain gate. As for the young sect leader, I hope you won't inquire about him. After all, using the young sect leader in this way will not only put him in a difficult position but will also displease the Grand Sect Leader and the Second Sect Leader.

Moon smiled bitterly, thinking that with his extremely poor physical condition, he might not even live to see that day.

So he said in a deep voice, "Tang Niu, Shao Zhe is my successor. If I die, I hope you can send someone to inform him of the location of the Haotian Sect's mountain gate."

"Okay." Tang Niu agreed, and then walked away from the Sea God Pavilion.

As Mu En watched the other person's figure gradually disappear from sight, he couldn't help but sigh, his mind churning: "Tang Niu's promises can't be entirely trusted. After all, he already broke his promise by leading the Haotian Sect members back to the mountain gate. Who knows if he will break his promise in the future?"

"Therefore, unless we are truly at our wits' end, there is no need to take Tang Niu's words seriously. Now, how should we lead everyone to defeat the Sun Moon Empire?"
Even the formidable Body Sect has chosen to aid the Sun Moon Empire. Could it be that fate is truly against Shrek Academy?

His face was filled with sorrow as he pondered a way to break the deadlock. Having served as the Sea God Pavilion Master for many years, he naturally wanted to protect Shrek Academy and prevent it from being destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire.

"The most crucial point for breaking this deadlock lies with a Limit Douluo, or a powerful individual capable of contending with a Limit Douluo. My physical condition is too poor, and I cannot act rashly in order to protect the academy. Now, all hope rests on Xuanzi and Shaozhe. Of course, Xuanzi has been a level 98 Super Douluo for so many years, yet there is still no sign of him becoming a Limit Douluo, which shows that the hope is slim. We must buy as much time as possible for Shaozhe; everything else is secondary."

Thinking of this, he began to transmit his voice: "Changlong, Lexuan, you, you come over here right now!"

Unfortunately, with the elders of Shrek Academy falling one after another, the number of capable individuals in the academy has drastically decreased. Even Shao Zhe has chosen to enter seclusion to further improve his strength and will not be able to emerge for some time.
A moment later, Gong Changlong and Zhang Lexuan entered the Sea God Pavilion and came before Mu En. The two respectfully greeted him, "Elder Mu!"

Mu En said, "Changlong, Lexuan, I have bad news for you. The disciples of Haotian Sect have been recalled by their Grand Master and Second Grand Master. Therefore, the current strength to resist the Sun Moon Empire will be greatly weakened."

Upon hearing this, both of them looked astonished.

"How could the people of Haotian Sect be so untrustworthy? They can go back on their word after making a promise?" Gong Changlong said indignantly.

"Elder Mu, what should we do?" Zhang Lexuan asked, looking at Mu En.

"Naturally, the goal is to prevent the regrouped allied forces from thinking about reclaiming lost territory. Instead, they should retreat, strengthen their defenses, and protect their existing territory, thus buying Shao Zhe more time to wait for him to become a Limit Douluo."

"This..." Gong Changlong's face showed a bitter smile. "Elder Mu, it's not that I'm trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing our own, but even if Shao Zhe becomes a Limit Douluo, in theory, he shouldn't be able to contend with Kong Deming. If we can't deal with Kong Deming, we can't reverse the situation."

He knew that Mu En's health was poor. By the time Shao Zhe became a Limit Douluo, Mu En would probably have already passed away, making it impossible to form a two-on-one situation. At that time, Shao Zhe would be unable to fight alone.

“You don’t need to worry about that. As long as Shao Zhe becomes a Limit Douluo, I will naturally have a way to make him turn the tide. Now, you two go to the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire respectively and tell the Star Luo Emperor and the Dou Ling Emperor my ideas,” Mu En said in a deep voice.

Judging from Kong Deming's strength and past achievements, even if Yan Shaozhe becomes a Limit Douluo, he will not be able to contend with Kong Deming. This is an indisputable fact.

But Mu En already has a plan, which can help Yan Shaozhe kill Kong Deming. However, he cannot tell Gong Changlong about this plan yet, nor can he tell Shaozhe himself immediately.

However, this strategy requires the Golden Tree and his own soul. Although he didn't want his soul to enter the Golden Tree after death because of some things that happened before, he now had no way out. For the sake of Shrek Academy, he had to take a gamble.

Upon hearing this, Gong Changlong's expression brightened, wondering if Shrek Academy might have some unknown secrets. Elder Mu was indeed unfathomable!
Since Elder Mu was vague, he did not press for details. Instead, he and Zhang Lexuan bowed and said, "Alright, Elder Mu, let's set off now."

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Spirit Pagoda Pavilion.
