Chapter 104 The Old Man, Poison Not Dead_1

```

"Then we must find every possible way to suppress Xuan Zi."

Mu En responded in a heavy voice.

Xuan Zi was a level 98 Titled Douluo powerhouse, and if he became uncontrollable, it would be a disaster for the entire Soul Land.

"Teacher, I understand. I will go find Elder Song and Elder Zhuang right now."

Yan Shao Zhe finished speaking and hurriedly left.

After a long while, Mu En sighed softly, "Let's hope things take a turn for the better, that there's still time ..."

...

Several days later.

Heavenly Soul Empire.

In an unnamed mountain range, the sounds of battle filled the air.

Hundreds of soldiers clad in battle armor raised their weapons and launched an attack simultaneously.

Their target was an old man who looked rather disheveled from the outside.

"Kill!"

"We must not let this evil Soul Master who causes chaos everywhere get away."

"My wife and son, along with the people in my village, were all killed by him. I will exact revenge for them even if it costs me my life."

However.

Even though these soldiers were fearless in the face of death, they were simply no match for the evil Soul Master, whose sins were legion.

After all, he was Xuan Zi, a level 98 Titled Douluo powerhouse that was extremely rare in Soul Land. How could these low-level Soul Masters, or even those not worthy of being called Soul Masters, compare with him?

"Hahaha, good, bring it on!"

After taking a big swig from the wine gourd on his waist, Xuan Zi laughed uproariously and then, astonishingly, he charged into the crowd and began a bloody massacre.

Soon, the forest echoed with chilling screams of agony, which were bone-chilling.

About ten minutes later, Xuan Zi stood on a high platform made of the bodies of hundreds of soldiers. He was holding a blood-soaked warrior in his hand and sneered, "Hehe, do you see? This is what comes of overestimating yourselves. Now, if you beg me, grovel like a dog, I might consider sparing you... or else, you can stay and be my dog."

At this moment, Xuan Zi's eyes were filled with madness. The bloodshed he caused didn't make him feel any fear; on the contrary, it excited him even more.

He also enjoyed this feeling of supreme power, this disdain for life.

"I..."

"Pah!"

The dying soldier mustered all his strength and spat a mouthful of blood-flecked saliva onto Xuan Zi's face.

Xuan Zi was momentarily stunned, then his rage erupted like a volcano, "You're courting death!"

As he spoke, he was about to squeeze the life out of the dying soldier in his grasp.

However, a thunderous shout reached Xuan Zi's ears.

"Elder Xuan, stop!"

Xuan Zi paused.

Elder Xuan?

This title seemed so distant to him...

Just then, a giant azure eagle swooped down from the sky.

Glancing up reflexively, Xuan Zi saw an elder in a green robe on the eagle's back, none other than Elder Zhuang from Shrek Academy.

Upon arriving at the scene, the giant eagle transformed into Elder Song.

Xuan Zi frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Elder Song replied with a complex expression, "Elder Xuan, news of your deeds has spread across Soul Land. Please, stop."

In just a few short days, the situation had escalated severely. The news of Xuan Zi's murderous rampage had swept through half the continent.

Countless civilians were plunged into panic because of Xuan Zi.

Now, who didn't know that Shrek Academy had produced an evil Soul Master who killed countless people with brutal methods?

Even many Shrek Academy graduates or current students contacted Shrek Academy, hoping the academy would provide an explanation, under enormous pressure.

"Even the academy knows about it?" Xuan Zi's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

He had gradually lost himself under the guidance of an evil Soul Master in this period, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late. Tens of thousands of innocent people had died by his hand, how could he possibly turn back now?

Moreover, he found that even after regaining his senses, he couldn't forget the feeling of unrestrained, rampant behavior.

A voice kept telling him in his mind: Xuan Zi, you were never meant to be shackled.

So, he never once considered returning to the academy.

"Elder Xuan, please put down the man in your hand and come back to the academy with us. There's still a chance for everything," Elder Zhuang implored, being as gentle as possible with his wording for fear of provoking Xuan Zi.

Unfortunately, Xuan Zi had become deeply fixated and was beyond persuasion.

"Shut up!"

He bellowed angrily, cutting off Elder Zhuang's words, "There's no need for you to persuade me, I can no longer return to Shrek Academy."

His voice was filled with resolve.

"Why not?"

This time it was Elder Song who asked.

"Why?" Xuan Zi's demeanor turned cold, "Shrek Academy is a place filled with annoying rules, constantly dictating 'as a member of Shrek you cannot do this, you cannot do that', and it's suffocating. Moreover, with the trouble I've caused this time, if I go back to Shrek, I will have to explain myself to everyone."

"What do you think, how should I explain? Should I destroy my cultivation level? Or should I pay with my life?"

"This..."

Facing Xuan Zi's retort, Elder Zhuang and Elder Song opened their mouths but didn't know what to say.

What price should Elder Xuan pay?

They really had not thought about it because this situation was no longer something they could consider.

But Elder Song knew that Xuan Zi was in an extreme state and that they must find a way to appease him.
