Chapter 2527: Escaping_1

Having done all this, the Ultimate Douluo turned his gaze to Xue Yuntian, reminding him, "Your Majesty, you must not let the Ghost Emperor sway your emotions. Right now, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the Douling Empire!"

With the disappearance of the Ghost Emperor's phantom, the latter gradually calmed down from his anger...

"Huff... You're right, I can't be led by the nose by the Ghost Emperor! Otherwise, I might fall for their tricks once again!"

The Ultimate Douluo nodded slightly, "If Your Majesty can think this way, that is good. However, returning to the previous topic, those conditions proposed by the federation..."

He personally believed that as long as the federation kept their promise and did not launch another attack...

Even if they suffered some more losses, it wouldn't matter!

Xue Yuntian sat back on the throne, his expression darkly contemplative, "These conditions are simply too excessive, and they threaten the fundamental interests of the empire. We must discuss them with the federation once more!"

"At most, we can only give one third of our total resources!"

Hearing this, the Ultimate Douluo hesitated, "But the federation might not agree to this..."

He didn't believe that the federation would let go of this opportunity!

Xue Yuntian sighed, "If they don't agree, then we will have to continue the war. Although the Douling Empire is not as strong, we cannot be led by the nose!"

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario!

The former did not retort, "I understand, Your Majesty. However, this time, let me go to the federation."

Now that the imperial palace was guarded by many powerful individuals, there was no need to worry about Xue Yuntian being assassinated after his own departure.

Xue Yuntian nodded, "That's good, after all, you are the person I trust the most!"

He certainly didn't want to send those good-for-nothings again!

...

After arriving inside the New Shrek Academy, the Shrek Seven Monsters and the others were so shocked they didn't know what to say...

Because everything around them was built to match the original Shrek Academy exactly, and if one didn't pay close attention to every single detail, it was impossible to spot any flaws...

"My goodness, they have replicated not just the exterior, but the interior is exactly like Shrek Academy too!"

"The Tang Sect has definitely put a lot of effort into this aspect, but how did they get all this information?"

"Right, the interior information of Shrek Academy shouldn't have been leaked!"

Even the Tang Sect couldn't possibly know such detailed information!

Zhao Chong explained, "Well, regarding the construction of the interior of Shrek Academy, it was actually overseen personally by Elder Cai of the Sea God's Pavilion, which is why it can achieve such an effect!"

After saying this, he pointed not far away to Cai Yue'er, who was organizing the Tang Sect disciples in their construction tasks...

She seemed to sense something, turned her head, and immediately spotted the group. She walked over after stopping what she was doing...

After nodding towards Zhao Chong to acknowledge him, she said to Tang Wulin and the others, "Children, you've arrived, eh? How does it feel?"

Yue Zhengyu generously expressed his admiration, "I can only say that it is truly worthy of being Elder Cai's masterpiece; this is exactly like the original Shrek Academy..."

Cai Yue'er responded with slight amazement, "Exactly alike, is it? That's good..."

It seemed her efforts over the past few days had paid off!

She paused for a moment, then inquired, "By the way, that kid Xie Xie..."

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads...

Understanding the answer from their reaction, she sighed, "I see."

"I know everyone must be feeling awful, but we can't stop moving forward just because of Xie Xie's demise. As the new Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, you have the responsibility to rebuild the glory of Shrek!"

Xu Xiaoyan was the first to speak up and reassure her, "Don't worry, Elder Cai, as long as we are alive, Shrek Academy won't collapse!"

Ye Xinglan echoed, "Yes, Xie Xie may have left us, but... we will shoulder his part as well!"

Xu Lizhi exclaimed excitedly, "Right, right, the current desolation is only for the splendor that is yet to come!"

He who was once looked down upon by everyone had now become an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion!

Cai Yue'er smiled contentedly, "I believe in you! This day will surely come!"

With these children before her eyes, Shrek Academy wouldn't just sink into oblivion!

…

Meanwhile!

Xu Sheng was leisurely instructing Ghost Charm and Yue Guan...

"Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, I want that soul beast, please do me this favor!"

Having just hunted several ten-thousand-year soul beasts, the two exhausted individuals, upon hearing these words, finally let the suppressed anger in their hearts burst forth...

Yueguan shouted angrily, "Boy, do you take us for your thugs?"

Gui Mei also rebuked, "We're here working ourselves to death, and you're just sitting there resting; it's a bit too much!"

Xu Sheng appeared indifferent to this, responding softly, "Elders, there's no need to be so agitated. As the saying goes, 'the capable should labor more,' that's what it means!"

Yueguan narrowed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "This kid, he's really slick-tongued!"

Gui Mei agreed with this but still remarked, "However, this kid's talent is truly terrifying; he can even absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as his first soul ring!"

"If he is cultivated properly, his future is boundless; he might even reach the legendary realm!"

Yueguan took a deep breath, "Enough, let's just consider it working for Martial Soul Hall's future. A bit of hardship is worth it."

He said irritably, "Brat, are you ready to absorb the soul ring of that soul beast?"

Xu Sheng pointed to a soul beast at the very front with a cultivation level of sixty thousand years...

"That one, it matches my Martial Soul perfectly!"

Yueguan cast his gaze over, and said coldly, "Lao Gui, let's go!"

Gui Mei replied coldly, "Hmm!"

The two immediately charged towards the sixty-thousand-year soul beast, unleashing their soul skills to attack...

About fifteen minutes later, they finally took its life...

A profound black soul ring emerged from its corpse...

Seeing this, Gui Mei then said, "Kid, hurry up and absorb this soul ring and then leave Aquipeia Forest!"

Night was approaching, and both his and Yueguan's Soul Power was almost exhausted. If they continued to stay, even as Titled Douluo, they might face life-threatening dangers!

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, then approached the corpse of the soul beast...

Yet, he didn't sit down cross-legged to absorb it...

Yueguan, quite annoyed, said, "Boy, what are you dallying for? Hurry up!"

Xu Sheng scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh, "Uh... sorry, Elders, I think I might have made a mistake earlier; this soul beast doesn't seem to suit me!"

Yueguan and Ghost Charm should have not much Soul Power left, due to hunting soul beasts, now was the time for him to slip away!

Yueguan and Ghost Charm's eyes widened, exclaiming, "What???"

"Are you toying with us??"

They had expended so much effort, and now he was saying he made a mistake!!

How could they tolerate this!

After some thought, Xu Sheng suggested, "How about this, Elders? I'll hunt the last two soul rings myself while you rest here!"

"How about that?"
