—------------------—
On the main road of Mingdu City, the Silver Moon Wolf King walked under the moon, emitting the pressure of a powerful soul beast.
The bright moon soul guide was suspended in the air, and the celestial phenomena changed the yin and yang. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Silver Wolf walked forward with his head held high, Xu Tianxi wore a sword on his waist, and his body was as straight as a javelin.
Yan Shaozhe stared at Xu Tianxi, his brows tightly furrowed, the gleam in his eyes revealing the thoughts of memories.
His intuition told him that he might have seen this person before.
Xian Lin'er told him that this person claimed that he had a grudge against her and had killed Xiaotao, Meir, but Yan Shaozhe really couldn't remember who this person was.
When did he become enemies with the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire?
Suddenly, Yan Shaozhe noticed that Xian Lin'er's breathing next to him became extremely heavy. He caught a glimpse of her eyes flashing with fire, and hurriedly reached out to hold her down.
"Calm down! This is the Sun-Moon Empire, we can't get revenge here!"
Xian Lin'er's surging soul power fluctuations slowly dissipated under Yan Shaozhe's suppression, and her voice was filled with heart-wrenching pain.
"It was this ruthless little beast who wouldn't give in. He even tried desperately to kill Xiaotao after she was captured by the evil spirit master!"
"In order to kill Xiaotao, he simply did everything he could. Yan Shaozhe, when did you provoke such a great enemy?"
Yan Shaozhe frowned and said in confusion: "I am wondering too, it looks a little familiar, but I really can't remember where it is."
Thanks to the fact that the soul power in Douluo Continent is roughly equivalent to the effect of growth hormone, more than seven years later, when Yan Shaozhe saw Xu Tianxi again, the latter had changed a lot and no trace of his childhood appearance could be seen at all.
Yan Shaozhe also had no way of connecting the child who ran away from home in the Xuanming Sect back then with the rising star of the Sun and Moon Empire today. The two were completely different.
He leaned his head forward and watched the Silver Moon Wolf King cross the main road under the tall building, then gradually walk away.
The man never cast a glance in their direction.
Nor did they, the Shrek people, provoke them again as they had imagined.
It seemed as if everything was calm and he just came here to receive the title today, and they met by chance.
Han Ruoruo, an inner court disciple behind the two men, said, "Deans, this person is not the main point. The main point is to rescue Le Xuan and the others."
Wu Ming, the Golden Crow Saint, echoed, "Yes, Dean, these people are not worth mentioning. What's important is the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire."
Yan Shaozhe nodded and was about to say something to comfort the troops.
At this moment, a young white-haired boy in the awarding team below turned around, gave a bright smile to Yan Shaozhe and others, and waved his hands vigorously.
The atmosphere suddenly fell to its lowest point. Xian Lin'er's eyes almost turned red again, and Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance on his calm face.
This guy must be here to provoke Shrek, he is so arrogant! "Haha, don't be angry, my grandson is a little arrogant, just get used to it, don't bother with him, a kid."
When everyone was angry, Jing Hongchen's voice rang out immediately, as if he was afraid that the fire was not strong enough, so he poured some oil on it.
Yan Shaozhe and others immediately glared at Jing Hongchen, but Jing Hongchen shrugged his shoulders, looking completely indifferent.
Their faces were torn to the point where they couldn't be torn any further. They were already very dissatisfied with Shrek bringing the power of the three empires to threaten the Sun-Moon Empire.
Otherwise, Xu Tianxi and others would not have been conferred titles on this day.
If we weren't afraid of the hidden sects in your three empires, you might not even be able to enter Mingdu, Jing Hongchen said secretly.
Mu Xue whispered to Vina: "Vina, it seems that the Sun Moon Empire does not welcome us."
Vina's reply was filled with a smile: "Isn't this something we have guessed a long time ago? We can't count on Shrek. The Body Sect and other hidden sects are the forces we can rely on the most."
"If it weren't for the face given to those Title Douluo from Shrek, I wouldn't want to come here for nothing. I might as well go to the Star Dou Great Forest or the Far North to hunt for spirit rings to advance."
"Then... after this time, shall we go to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Mu Xue suggested.
Vina pondered for a moment and replied, "Well... the Far North is closer. Let's go to the Far North. The ice-attributed soul beasts there are of higher quality."
"Although I really don't want to go to that freezing snowy place, compared to improving my strength, enduring the cold is nothing."
"Well, it just so happens that there are masters from the Body Sect and the Protector of the Nation Douluo here."
…
"Junior brother, why do you have such a stern face? Smile happily. Look how unbridled Xiao Hongchen is in his laughter."
Ye Yulin followed the Silver Moon Wolf King in casual clothes, with a faint smile on his face: "You are a meritorious official going to be conferred an award, not a criminal going to the execution ground."
"I'm not very good at laughing in such a big occasion."
There was helplessness in Xu Tianxi's voice transmission. He tried so hard to smile that his facial muscles became very stiff. He couldn't do it as freely as he did when he smiled at Hongchen.
He is a nerdy engineer and an expert in exorcism, not a professional speaker; he is not used to this kind of situation.
After saying that, Xu Tianxi did a beautiful backflip and landed on the back of the Silver Moon Wolf King. He wiped the sweat on his hands on the Silver Moon Wolf King's fur.
Ye Yulin took in all of Xu Tianxi's subtle movements, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
As expected, geniuses are not good at everything. My junior brother is very devoted to practice and research, so he lacks experience in such situations.
He joked, "Junior brother, you have to work hard to adapt. Sooner or later, you will have to face bigger occasions. Things like this are like the first time is new, the second time is familiar, and the third time is easy."
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Brother is right, this kind of thing needs to be adapted to."
Catching Xiao Hongchen's smile out of the corner of his eye, Xu Tianxi began to try to smile more friendly and relaxed.
Ye Yulin was right. When one is promoted to duke, prince, or even a higher rank in the future, one will inevitably have friendly exchanges with the people.
"When I get back, I need to think about how to develop a national broadcasting station. That way, it will be easier."
While adapting, Xu Tianxi was thinking about the application of the technology tree.
…
The formal ceremony of conferring the title was not complicated. The old emperor gave a passionate speech in public, with a lot of self-praise in his words, and then he went forward to greet the students one by one, and conferred the title robes and crowns.
The general meaning of the speech was that ever since the previous emperor's entire family died violently and he was ordered to take over the throne, he had not dared to slack off for many years, and had worked diligently to encourage the development of the academy. Finally, with the joint efforts of the emperor and his subjects, the empire welcomed its first championship in history...
After the speech, the noisy royal dance troupe took the stage to perform, the open-air banquet began, the old emperor toasted with everyone, and occasionally came down to comfort Xu Tianxi and others. Even the Shrek rescue team, led by Jing Hongchen, entered the special Three Kingdoms VIP viewing area, where they were served delicious food and wine.
Xiao Hongchen smacked his lips and whispered to Xu Tianxi, "The old emperor is so excited, why does it seem like he is the one playing this game?"
Xu Tianxi said calmly: "He is about to die, and what he pursues must be a posthumous reputation. Our success this time will greatly benefit his reputation."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen glanced at the gloomy old emperor's face and couldn't help but complain:
"I remember that his sons and daughters all have high cultivation talents. It would be no problem for them to become Titled Douluo. Why does he look like he's about to die?"
Xu Tianxi shrugged lightly: "I don't know, maybe he was injured in his early years."
In the Three Kingdoms VIP area, everyone looked at the old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire and Xu Tianran who was beside the old emperor, with different gleams in their eyes.
In the corner, two burly men in bold clothes were whispering to each other. They were wearing the iconic clothing of the Haotian Sect - coarse linen clothes with the Haotian Hammer embroidered on them.
"Fourth brother, look, that old man who is only breathing his last breath is the old emperor. I don't think he will live for more than ten years even if we don't do anything."
"That's right. The higher-ups didn't ask us to pay attention to this old man. What we need to focus on is the wheelchair prince Xu Tianran. He is the key person we are here to observe."
"As we walk along the way, where do you think is a good place to stake out an assassination?"
"Well... I think we need to observe..."
Lang Ya of the Body Sect had a strong spiritual power. He noticed that the two seemed to have some ideas. He smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Fourth and Fifth Elders of Haotian Sect, if you two have any ideas, perhaps you can cooperate with our Body Sect."
The fourth elder of Haotian Sect laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, okay, we will discuss these matters slowly. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The fifth elder of Haotian Sect nodded and said, "Yes, these things need to be considered carefully and not be reckless."
The fact that the Haotian Sect is now wild does not mean that they want to die.
The lesson of Shrek's previous experience is still fresh in our minds. The city of Mingdu must have been set up with a tight net long ago. Who knows how many masters are watching them in secret.
Even if they joined forces to launch an attack and kill the old Emperor Sun and Moon and the Crown Prince, they would most likely have to stay here.
It is not worth it to sacrifice their lives for a useless prince of Sun Moon Continent. The two sect masters have said long ago that their Haotian Sect will not die themselves, but will only provide intelligence to possible allies in the future to ensure that Xu Tianran will definitely die.
In short, it is impossible to charge into battle and sacrifice oneself in vain. All the Haotian Sect wants is to bide their time and live a good life. This is how they have been living for countless years.
Lang Ya naturally didn't know that the famous Haotian Sect was planning to use them as cannon fodder to die. He just thought that there were still people with lofty ideals in the original Three Kingdoms who were willing to fight against the sun and the moon together. He turned around happily and shared the good news with Vina, Huo Yuhao and others.
It turns out that the Haotian Sect is responsible!
Upon hearing this, Vina said thoughtfully: "This is great news. There is great hope for our Tianhun Empire."
With the support of the two hidden sects, the Body and the Haotian, the borders of the Tianhun Empire must be as solid as a rock!
"Um."
Langya nodded, his eyes falling on the people of the Sun and Moon Empire with a scorching gaze.
You are great for defeating Shrek, but our Body Sect and Haotian Sect have also dealt with Shrek before, and the Sect Master has already gone to Hanhai City to discuss important matters with Xuanming Sect...
Wait, Xuanming Sect? Why did the frivolous boy sitting next to the young Yue Hou and the white-haired boy from the Sun Moon Empire, chatting and laughing with them, look a bit like Xu Sanshi, the young leader of Xuanming Sect in the intelligence records?
Lang Ya glanced around casually, but his eyelids twitched when he saw that an important figure from the Three Kingdoms appeared in the opposing camp. He wiped his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken.
What the hell, what's going on? Shouldn't he still be at home recovering from his injuries?
Pressing his forehead, Lang Ya called Huo Yuhao over and instructed him, "Yuhao, you've been to Shrek before. Have you seen that person? Is he Xu Sanshi from Xuanming Sect?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, staring at Xu Sanshi for a while, and nodded slowly: "Yes, it's him, I have met him before."
"That's a big deal!"
An inexplicable sense of crisis surged into Langya's heart. He immediately sent a message to Prince Xueyu in front of him, and also informed Vina and Muxue who were chatting about everything under the sun of the world about the situation.
"Things are not good. Xu Sanshi from Xuanming Sect has appeared in the Sun and Moon Empire."
"ah?"
"Teacher, are you seeing right?"
The two girls, who were still in a good mood, felt a huge wave in their hearts, and a hint of confusion flashed across their beautiful eyes.
Their Tianhun had the help of Haotian Sect, and the other side also had the help of Xuanming Sect? This can't be so outrageous!
Is the matching mechanism arranged like this?
"It's impossible that I'm wrong. Yuhao can testify to it." Lang Ya said with a serious expression.
"That..."
The two girls hesitated for a while, and Vina immediately showed a capable look on her face and said, "Teacher, how about we go and say hello to those people?"
Lang Ya was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Be careful."
"Teacher, don't worry."
…
One minute later.
Xu Tianxi, who was drinking tea and chatting with Xiao Hongchen and Xu Sanshi, was surprised to find two figures with good looks and temperament approaching him. Vina, who was more beautiful, had a gentle smile on her face and said in a friendly tone:
"I am Vina from the Tianhun Empire. I have heard of the name of Yue Hou for a long time, and today I finally meet him. I am a little confused, may I ask for your advice?"
