Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

Xuan Zi, whose mentality had already collapsed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed like crazy, saying in a hoarse voice: "I didn't recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me..."

Di Tian snorted coldly before taking the Emperor's auspicious beast back to the core area of ​​the stars, leaving Xuan Zi alone to wail and cry in the jungle.

Huo Yuhao, standing in the void on the Sky Shuttle, felt much better when he saw Xuanzi so miserable.

Unfortunately, he had just fought with Xian Lin'er for too long, which resulted in a lot of mental energy being consumed. Now he could not threaten Xuanzi at all, who was seriously injured but was still a level 98 Super Douluo. After watching Xuanzi crying over Xian Lin'er's corpse for a while, Huo Yuhao went to find Meng Hongchen and others.

In the valley, everyone who had witnessed through Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection the whole process of Xuan Zi being beaten by Di Tian and Huo Yuhao killing Xian Lin'er was already stunned, feeling that everything they had just seen was too dreamy.

Xuan Zi, who acted tyrannically in Douluo Three Kingdoms, was beaten and abused beyond recognition by the Star Dou beast, and the Shrek titled strongman was killed by Huo Yuhao mentioned by Meng Hongchen and the others, and his six soul bones were taken away!

Soul bones have always been rare and precious, and six nearly matching soul bones from the Titled Douluo level are truly rare in the world!

Because many forces will not sell such precious soul bones on the market, but will take them out after the person dies and pass them on to their descendants who will then absorb and integrate them to ensure that the family power is passed down from generation to generation.

Shrek Academy had a ten-thousand-year-old foundation, and was once the only academy on the continent to have won the highest-level competition for ten thousand consecutive years. The number of soul bones it received as a championship prize was already astonishing, not to mention the precious soul bones that Shrek's soul masters would obtain by hunting a hundred-thousand-year-old beast and attaching soul rings to it...

Just as everyone was amazed, Huo Yuhao had already appeared above the valley. After taking off his mask and black windbreaker, everyone in the United Soul Master Academy, including seven exchange students like Meng Hongchen, was instantly stunned, because the "predecessor" who had just fought and killed the Shrek titled strongman was none other than Huo Yuhao, the continent's number one prodigy who had shown his brilliance at the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition in Xingluo City a year ago!

In just over a year, this young man has grown to the point where he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the titled strongmen!

Even Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen and others who were familiar with Huo Yuhao were stunned. At first they were still a little confused and suspicious, but they did not expect that the "senior" who saved them from danger was actually Huo Yuhao!

Everyone gasped and looked up at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, their minds swirling with thoughts.

Huo Yuhao threw one of the soul guide recorders to the two Titled Douluo. "This is the soul guide recorder that recorded Xuan Zi provoking the Star Dou beast and intending to use the tiger to devour the wolf and kill him. You can take it as evidence. Tomorrow, I will lead you to hunt soul rings, and then we will return to Maple Leaf City as soon as possible."

This move was purely for the safety of Meng Hongchen and the other seven exchange students. He was worried that Xuanzi would go crazy and violently kill everyone to vent his hatred. With him around, it would obviously be much safer.

Even if Xuan Zi really made a move, he would be able to discover it in advance and lead everyone straight to Maple Leaf City. With Xuan Zi's speed, even the Soul King-level Death Messenger could not catch up, let alone catch up with him, a junior God of War.

The teachers and students of the United Soul Master Academy expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Huo Yuhao and promised to give him generous gifts when they returned. Only then did they tactfully not disturb Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen from reminiscing about the past.

"Yuhao, how did you suddenly become so powerful? We've all been left far behind by you. Also, how did you suddenly appear here?"

Meng Hongchen, who was thinking about Huo Yuhao day and night at the United Soul Master Academy, ignored the gazes of Xiao Hongchen, Ma Rulong and others, and leaned her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. Her long silver hair cascaded to her waist. She pulled Huo Yuhao's arm and asked two questions in a row.

"My spiritual power has made a breakthrough. When I control objects, I can generate extremely strong power, so I can be on par with ordinary Titled Douluo."

Huo Yuhao continued in a gentle tone, "Yesterday, when Gu Yi and the others and I were having a picnic outside Mingdu, we were attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult. Luckily, my spiritual power has reached the highest level, otherwise I would have fallen into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult. Fortunately, Elder Kong and the dean arrived in time, and we were able to escape."

"After returning, the dean gave a lecture focusing on analyzing the impact of Shrek Academy's establishment of the Holy Soul Sect on the continental situation. I had a premonition at the time, so I traveled from Mingdu across nearly half the empire to the United Soul Master Academy overnight, and just happened to discover Xuanzi and the others..."

After Huo Yuhao recounted the reasons and events for his sudden visit to the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Hongchen, Ma Rulong and the others couldn't help but look sideways, secretly thinking that he was indeed the son of destiny, as he could actually rely on telepathy to save them!

The eight students from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy chatted for a long time before they went to rest.

The next day.

Huo Yuhao used his spiritual detection and shared soul skills to help the students of the United Soul Master Academy who needed to hunt soul rings to quickly hunt their respective soul rings, and then he returned to Maple Leaf City with the group from the United Soul Master Academy.

Since Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were mainly training as soul masters at the United Soul Master Academy, the soul power of these seven exchange students increased rapidly. Especially since they had refined a lot of immortal herbs and their talents were further developed, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen made rapid progress.

Perhaps Xuan Zi suffered a major blow, or perhaps he was disheartened, but they did not encounter any ambushes during their hunt for soul rings in Xingdou and their return to Maple Leaf City.

……

"You...what did you say?!"

In the Poseidon Pavilion, the elders sat around the conference table with gloomy expressions, staring at the miserable Xuan Zi and wishing they could cut him into pieces.

Moon slapped Xuan Zi hard, sending him flying, his chest heaving with anger.

"Why did Lin'er end up like this?!" Moon said angrily.

Xuan Zi's face flushed red as he knelt on the ground, hesitating, "She was killed by Huo Yuhao of the Sun Moon Empire. At the time, I was entangled by Di Tian and couldn't escape..."

"Waste!" Moon was extremely disappointed. He stood up and kicked Xuanzi out of the Poseidon Pavilion.

Moon trembled as he looked at Xuan Zi who was kneeling under the golden tree. It took him a long time to catch his breath.

He had wanted to take this opportunity to let Xuanzi return to the Sea God Pavilion, and let Xuanzi support Shrek after his death, but he never expected that such a sure-fire plan would be messed up by Xuanzi.

Even if Xuan Zi failed to carry out the set goal, even if he was discovered by Douluo Three Kingdoms, he would accept it. However, this useless thing insisted on being smart and borrowing the knife of the Star Beast to carry out the mission. As a result, not only did he fail to complete the task, he was also taught a lesson by Di Tian. The most important thing was that he let Xian Lin'er die in the Star Beast!

A waste that fails to succeed but fails to succeed!

If Xuan Zi hadn't been of some value, he really wanted to kill him to appease the public anger!

The incredible "records" that Xuan Zi had created appeared in Moon's eyes again and again. He stared at the miserable Xuan Zi under the golden tree with angry eyes, and after a long time he let out a heavy sigh.

Now, his life span is coming to an end, and Xuan Zi is no longer of great use. Two of the nine core fighters of the academy have been directly or indirectly destroyed by Xuan Zi. Those who can support Shrek and lead it to continue on its path are either not strong enough or have not yet grown up...

“If the academy declines in my generation, I will become Shrek’s sinner…”

Moon pondered for a moment and sighed, "Do you really want to do that?"

The other elders, frightened by Moon's actions just now, swallowed hard and watched Moon sit back in the wheelchair.

The atmosphere in Poseidon's Pavilion became increasingly solemn. Moon, who had been in deep thought for a long time, raised his head and looked at the elders, thus breaking the solemn atmosphere in Poseidon's Pavilion.

"Xuan Zi is unfit for the job. The deaths of two elders were due to his incompetence. Many geniuses in the academy also died tragically because of him. Today, according to the rules of the Sea God Pavilion, he will be expelled from the Sea God Pavilion and expelled from Shrek. He will no longer serve as the Protector Elder of the Holy Soul Sect, and will have no connection with Shrek from now on!"

Moon's indifferent voice came from the Poseidon Pavilion. Xuanzi, who had been kneeling under the golden tree for a long time, kowtowed on the ground as if he had lost his parents. After kowtowed three times, he secretly exhaled, and his depressed mood was relieved.

The elders of Poseidon Pavilion remained silent. They knew very well that Moon's punishment was not painful at all for Xuanzi. Instead, it freed Xuanzi from his shackles and allowed him to be free from then on.

Many elders sighed secretly. Although they had some complaints about Moon, given Moon's status and strength in Shrek, they were reluctant to speak out. Most of the time, they could only agree, just like now.

They could understand that Moon wanted to avoid losing his reputation in his later years, and they could also understand that he wanted Xuan Zi to support Shrek. However, he had reused Xuan Zi several times when he repeatedly made serious mistakes, and the punishments were always light. Especially this time, he just expelled Xuan Zi from Shrek, which was too easy for this old beast.

Moon took in the expressions of the elders. He pondered, "Expelling Xuanzi from Shrek is only a temporary measure, a show for the Douluo Three Kingdoms. After all, the time is not yet ripe for implementing the second strategic plan. Now is the time for Xuanzi to join the game and contribute to Shrek."

The elders looked at each other, then looked at Moon in confusion, all of them somewhat bewildered.

Moon said in a deep voice, "This mission will be kept secret for now, but I can tell you that Xuanzi, who made several serious mistakes in Shrek, is the most suitable person to carry out this mission. With his character and way of doing things, completing the mission should not be a problem."

"Even if he fails to complete the mission, Shrek won't be implicated. Instead, Shrek will reap the benefits!"

Moon's words were firm and decisive. Although all the elders wanted to know what plan Moon would give to Xuan Zi next, since Moon had said that he would keep it secret, they would not ask any more questions.

After resolving the Xuanzi issue, the Poseidon Pavilion meeting continued. After the elders discussed Shrek's short-term strategic plan, the Poseidon Pavilion meeting officially ended.

Just as the elders were about to leave, Moon solemnly informed them, "The news of Xuanzi's expulsion from Shrek must be spread as quickly as possible. Inform the Douluo Three Kingdoms that it was Xuanzi who wanted to attack the Douluo Three Kingdoms. It was he who deceived Shrek and caused the loss of two elders in succession."

"He joined the evil soul master organization, the Holy Spirit Cult, several years ago and has repeatedly harmed Shrek Academy students. Now that we have discovered the truth, we are hunting him down across the continent..."

The elders who were about to leave all looked sideways, shocked by Moon's words.

In order to make Xuanzi appear to have nothing to do with Shrek on the surface, they actually said that Xuanzi joined the Holy Spirit Church and used this to take the blame for this matter?

The elders looked at each other, stood in silence for a moment, and then nodded. They were naturally happy to see Xuanzi taking the blame. After all, what Xuanzi had done in Shrek in the past was indeed comparable to that of a "Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Religion."

Even if Douluo Three Kingdoms suspected that Shrek did it on purpose and conducted a thorough investigation, the evidence obtained would probably be indisputable. After all, the big mistake Xuanzi had made was too consistent with the actions of Shrek, a high-ranking undercover agent of the Holy Spirit Church.

The gloom on the faces of the elders gradually faded: "Mr. Mu, we will handle this matter ourselves!"

Moon nodded before letting the elders leave Poseidon Pavilion.

It was not until late at night that Moon allowed Xuan Zi, who was under the golden tree, to enter the Sea God Pavilion to take on the mission.

"Mr. Mu, please tell me whatever you want. Even if I have to go through fire and water this time, I will do my best to complete it!" Xuan Zi knelt in front of the door and said in a loud voice.

Moon sat in a wheelchair, feeling mixed emotions as he looked at Xuan Zi, whose miserable condition was comparable to that of a prisoner. He had originally trained Xuan Zi as his successor, but he had not expected that the reality would be the opposite of what he thought, forcing him to implement his second plan against Xuan Zi.

Since it is impossible to succeed him as the head of the Sea God Pavilion and support Shrek, then let's take the second path steadily.

Moon sighed heavily and said in a deep voice, "Xuan Zi, I don't have much time left."

Xuan Zi was struck by lightning and said in disbelief, "Master Mu, how could you...?"

"I'm old, I can only hold on for another year or two..."

Moon looked out the window, his expression gloomy as he said, "I originally trained you as my successor, and after I left, you would lead Shrek forward. However, I never imagined that you would fail in your missions time and time again, causing Shrek to suffer heavy losses..."

"Mr. Mu..." Xuanzi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife at this moment. He stared at the floor and fell into endless regret and annoyance.

Moon looked at Xuan Zi and said earnestly, "Now I'm giving you one last task. I hope you can live up to Shrek's cultivation of you."

"Mr. Mu, you said..." Xuanzi said with a gloomy expression.

"Because you failed to complete this mission, Shrek suffered serious losses and deepened the conflict between Shrek and the Douluo Three Kingdoms. At this time, you need to take action and assume the responsibilities that you should bear."

Moon paused and threw out the second plan he had tailored for Xuan Zi: "I plan to have you join the Holy Spirit Church, go undercover in the Holy Spirit Church to eliminate the forces and soul masters that threaten Shrek, and ensure that Shrek stands at the top. How do you think?"

Hearing the words asking him to join the Holy Spirit Church, Xuan Zi was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Mu, the Holy Spirit Church is an organization of evil soul masters. I join the Holy Spirit Church...?!"

Chapter 173 Moon takes action

"That's right. We want you to join the Holy Spirit Church, go undercover in the Holy Spirit Church, and use the Holy Spirit Church to do things for Shrek. Your actions in Shrek completely meet the Holy Spirit Church's criteria for membership."

Shrek can no longer withstand Xuan Zi's attack. It might not be a bad idea to let Xuan Zi go to the Holy Spirit Church to make some contributions to Shrek...

Moon took a deep breath and continued, "Xuan Zi, whether Shrek can continue to develop depends on you. The Holy Spirit Church is very suitable for you."

Xuan Zi struggled for a long time before he stood up and said, "Mr. Mu, I only know that the Holy Spirit Cult exists. If I hadn't learned about it during the Continental High-Level Spirit Master Competition, I probably wouldn't even know about it now..."

"Holy Spirit Cult..."

Moon murmured softly, the memories of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui gradually flooded into his mind, even this powerful Dragon God Douluo fell into deep memories and emotions.

"The Holy Spirit Cult has a long history, with members spread across the continent. Its overall combat power far exceeds that of any other faction on the continent. There are two Ultimate Douluo alone, and over five Super Douluo. There are also the chief and deputy chiefs, twelve elders, eight great priests, and tens of thousands of followers..."

Moon's narration stunned Xuanzi, who knew nothing about the Holy Spirit Church, because he found that Moon, who rarely left Shrek, actually had a deep understanding of the Holy Spirit Church!

He even knows the organizational structure of the Holy Spirit Church clearly...

"You must be wondering why I know so much about the Holy Spirit Church."

Moon looked at Xuan Zi with a burning gaze. After Xuan Zi nodded earnestly, Moon continued, "When I was young, I traveled the continent with two companions. During this time, many unspeakable things happened between us..."

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would think back to the days when he, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao were traveling together on the mainland. He would also think of the time when Ye Xishui was in love with him but was pregnant with Long Xiaoyao's child...

No matter how heartbroken he was, it was of no use. He could only seek comfort in certain aspects, such as bringing Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao's grandson Yan Shaozhe back to the academy to raise him and take over his position.

If he hadn't been secretly manipulating things, how could Yan Shaozhe, the grandson of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, appear in Shrek instead of in the Holy Spirit Church?

And why does Yan Shaozhe have the same surname as Ye Xishui before he joined the Holy Spirit Church? Both of them have the surname Yan?

He even wants to accept Yan Shaozhe as his disciple and let Yan Shaozhe take his place?

These were just the results of his subsequent secret operations.

After all, as Moon's disciple and the next head of Poseidon, it's impossible for him not to know Yan Shaozhe's background...

This might be his revenge for the loss of his grandson to Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, or perhaps he was seeking some kind of spiritual comfort. After all, Long Xiaoyao was once his best brother, and Ye Xishui was the woman he loved most...
