Chapter 295: Master Xuan Who Has Made Every Possible Effort (Two in One)

"Silence."

Accompanied by a slightly hoarse voice, the pressure that enveloped everyone receded like a tide.

However, this did not make the faces of the participating players show a look of relief. Although the mountain pressing on them disappeared, the psychological pressure suddenly increased, so that when they came to their senses, cold sweat had already seeped out of their backs unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, even if they encountered such unfriendly behavior, everyone's faces did not show too much dissatisfaction. Even the disciples of the sects who were always arrogant sat seriously at this moment, not daring to do anything beyond the limit.

Obviously, they have been completely shocked by the skills shown by the Sun and Moon Empire.

Compared with these small sects and colleges, the big forces from the three empires were the most shocked by this scene. Whether it was their participating players or the teachers leading the team, their faces were full of solemnity that was hard to ignore.

For them, who already have a competitive relationship with the Sun-Moon Empire, and can even be called a sharp contradiction, nothing is more uncomfortable than witnessing the strength of this opponent with their own eyes.

Not only the participating teams, but also in the spectator seats, several old men with restrained auras, who look no different from ordinary people, but with ruddy faces and vigorous spirits, are exchanging glances with each other with solemn expressions.

There is no doubt that being able to suppress the whole audience in an instant is definitely the pressure that only a level 99 Extreme Douluo can have.

As a representative of the pinnacle of personal power, as an Extreme Douluo, she is willing to be driven by the Sun-Moon Royal Family and even help maintain order in the Soul Master Competition. You can imagine how shocked they are at this moment.

The wolfish ambitions of the Sun-Moon Empire are well known to everyone. They don't believe that the other party's incorporation of the Holy Spirit Church is really just to maintain public order.

Although they are only using evil soul masters to eliminate villains now, they are probably planning to use this power to invade the other three empires in private.

The reason for doing all this now is probably just to conceal the truth, take the opportunity to stabilize the domestic situation and lower their vigilance.

If it goes on like this, it will not be long before the civilians of the Sun Moon Empire will gradually accept the existence of the Holy Spirit Church. Once that time comes, it will be time for Xu Tianran to show his fangs to them and launch a war.

"The ungrateful Xingluo Empire"

After looking at the rest area of ​​the contestants from a distance, Mu Xue, who was sitting in the spectator seat, frowned after seeing that Xu Jiujiu's face did not change at all.

She really couldn't understand. Logically speaking, as the one that borders the Sun Moon Empire the most, the Xingluo Empire should be the one that least wants to see the rise of the Holy Spirit Church among the three empires. However, even now, she has not seen the panic on Xu Jiujiu's face.

Even if you want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, at least you have to ensure that you will not get burned, right?

Is there something unknown about the Xingluo Empire that makes them not afraid of the Holy Spirit Church with the Extreme Douluo?

Unable to figure it out, she could only cast her eyes on the old man who clenched his fists. Seeing the old man's gloomy face, Mu Xue pursed her lips and asked hesitantly.

"Old Long, what should we do next?"

The man she called Old Long was none other than Long Xiaoyao, who left the Holy Spirit Church headquarters a year ago after being beaten up by Huo Yuhao.

After leaving the Holy Spirit Church, he originally wanted to hide his identity and enjoy his old age, but he didn't expect that he hadn't even chosen a place to stay, and suddenly learned that the Holy Spirit Church had become the state religion of the Sun and Moon Empire.

And his first thought after receiving the news was - impossible.

Based on his understanding of Xu Tianran, even if Ling Bing really had the ability to make this happen, it couldn't be so fast.

In less than a month, Xu Tianran was willing to establish the Holy Spirit Church as the state religion, and even allow evil soul masters to build their own city?

It was simply a fantasy.

In addition to being a trap for the Holy Spirit Church, Long Xiaoyao couldn't think of any reason that could prompt Xu Tianran to do this.

Obviously, Ye Xishui was deceived!

Xu Tianran probably didn't really want to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Church, but wanted to take this opportunity to push the Holy Spirit Church to the front, so that the Holy Spirit Church and the other three empires' high-end combat forces would both suffer losses, while he could sit back and reap the benefits.

After figuring out everything, Long Xiaoyao thought about returning to the Holy Spirit Church and telling Ye Xishui about his guess, but then he thought, isn't this an opportunity for him to reap the benefits?

If he told Ye Xishui about this directly, he could indeed avoid the casualties of the Holy Spirit Church, but what else could he get?

Ye Xishui's bland thanks?

Judging from the relationship between the two sides that had dropped to the freezing point, and Ye Xishui's respect for Ling Bing, whether she would believe what he said was a question of whether she would thank him?

And from the beginning to the end, he only cared about Ye Xishui's safety. As for those evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church, if possible, he didn't mind adding insult to injury and making up for the last push to send them to hell.

Especially the young man named Ling Bing. He has lived for more than two hundred years, and he has never seen anyone with such powerful evil soul master abilities. If such an existence continues to be allowed to continue, not only will it cause devastation to the entire continent, but it will also most likely continue to damage his relationship with Ye Xishui.

On the contrary, if he took advantage of the situation and organized the three empires and Shrek to attack the City of Original Sin together, he could take the opportunity to take a group of strong men to kill Ling Bing, who was highly valued by Ye Xishui, and he could also come forward to protect Ye Xishui at a critical moment and repair the damaged relationship.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

With this in mind, he returned to the Tianhun Empire after a long absence, and changed from the Supreme Worshiper of the Holy Spirit Church to the Supreme Worshiper of the Tianhun Royal Family, and set foot on the land of Mingdu again with the team participating in this competition.

Because Princess Vina of the Tianhun Royal Family needed to participate in the competition on behalf of the Body Sect and could not take care of the overall situation, during the competition, the emergencies in the spectator seats were completely decided by Long Xiaoyao and Du Bu Si.

For the Tianhun Empire, it was also a shocking thing for them that the Dark Holy Dragon, who was famous in the past but suddenly disappeared, was still alive.

Especially when they learned that Long Xiaoyao was willing to become the worshiper of the Heavenly Soul Empire, they felt like they were hit by a pie in the sky, and they were so excited that they held a banquet for several days.

That was the Ultimate Douluo! The pinnacle of human individual power!

Although today's soul guides have developed to the point where they can threaten the Ultimate Douluo, that is only a threat.

Just like the 98th level Super Douluo can also threaten the Ultimate Douluo, having the opportunity to injure the Ultimate Douluo and being sure to kill the Ultimate Douluo are two completely different concepts.

Before the latter becomes a reality, the Ultimate Douluo is still the top combat force that all major forces can't reach. Even if there is only one, it is enough to give the empire a huge deterrent.

Although their Heavenly Soul Royal Family has reached a deep cooperative relationship with the Body Sect and has a national defense sect that is comparable to Shrek, who would dislike having more power?

If they were able to match the Xingluo Empire in comprehensive strength with the help of the Body Sect before Long Xiaoyao joined, then now they are truly far ahead.

Although Long Xiaoyao told everyone that he had joined the Holy Spirit Church a few years ago when he joined, it was nothing.

If this matter were to be spread out, it would indeed put the Heavenly Soul Empire in a passive position, but it hadn't been spread out yet, hadn't it?

As long as they didn't say it, and the Holy Spirit Church didn't say it, who would know?

To take a step back, even if the matter was exposed, didn't Long Xiaoyao do evil when he was in the Holy Spirit Church?

Not only did he not do evil, he even disobeyed the orders in public, secretly destroyed many evil plans of the Holy Spirit Church, and prevented the further rise of this group of evil soul masters.

How could he be a bad person? He was simply a Buddha who entered the game with his body, and even though he was cursed, he still cared about the people!

This can be seen from the fact that after Long Xiaoyao left, the Holy Spirit Church couldn't wait to cooperate deeply with the Sun and Moon Royal Family, revealing its evil ambitions.

If there was no role played by this dark holy dragon in the Holy Spirit Church, I'm afraid the continent would have been devastated by the evil soul masters, right?

In addition, he has now taken the initiative to abandon the dark and join the light, and is willing to contribute his own strength to the strength of the Tianhun Empire. Naturally, they accepted this respected old man without any psychological burden.

Not to mention that he has not done much evil, even if he has done evil, he can turn black into white.

Compared with a little insignificant reputation, the combat power provided by the Extreme Douluo is real, and even a fool knows how to choose.

Of course, although for the Tianhun royal family, Long Xiaoyao's joining is a good thing that makes them laugh in their dreams, but for the Body Sect, which is still in the honeymoon period with them, everything seems not so wonderful.

They were still listening to the royal family's love words of "I only love you for my whole life", and then this guy ignored them because of the goddess's embrace. It is conceivable how dissatisfied Du Bu Si was in his heart.

But even if he was dissatisfied, he actually knew very well that once the Sun and Moon Empire started a war, it would be difficult for their Body Sect alone to resist the Sun and Moon Empire with the help of the Holy Spirit Church.

Originally, they thought that the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun and Moon Royal Family were in a cooperative relationship and would not necessarily obey orders completely, but now that Ye Xishui has shown up to help and support the situation, the situation may be more serious than they imagined.

Under this premise, it is self-evident how important it is to have an Extreme Douluo who can compete with it.

In summary, the situation forced him to accept it.

Just as Long Xiaoyao was about to respond, scattered low calls suddenly sounded around.

"Look, the emperor is here!"

The people who heard the voice subconsciously looked around and immediately locked onto a group of figures that were slowly moving towards the rostrum not far away. "Is this Xu Tianran?" Looking at the young man who was leading the way with big strides and looked like a disabled person a year ago, Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although he had never seen the Sun and Moon Emperor in a wheelchair, he saw that a rumored cripple had actually grown legs again, and he more or less understood why Xu Tianran supported the Holy Spirit Church so much.

For a disabled person, nothing is more tempting than regaining health.

What surprised him most was that Xu Tianran didn't even have a decent guard around him.

Apart from the stunning woman who was walking side by side with him, and judging from her clothes, she was clearly the empress of the empire, there were only two figures following closely behind him.

The middle-aged man with a round figure was known to many people present. He was Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, and the other was a woman covered in blood robes.

Although her face could not be seen, judging from the exposed white palms, she should be a beautiful woman with exquisite appearance. Following these two people were a group of officials from the Sun and Moon Empire.

Death Douluo, Ye Xishui.

When he felt the blood-evil aura on the blood-robed woman that was exactly the same as the pressure just now, the name emerged in Du Bushu's mind. At the same time, Long Xiaoyao's subconsciously tense body on the side also told him that he guessed Right.

On the other side of the rest area, there were also two old figures staring at the figure in the blood robe.

"With such a strong blood evil aura, it seems that the one who suppressed the whole crowd just now was her, the legendary Death God Douluo Ye Xishui."

I saw Mr. Xuan taking a big bite of the greasy chicken drumstick in his hand, ignoring the disgusted looks of passers-by, and shouted vaguely angrily.

"I never expected that the Sun and Moon Empire would be so lawless and choose to collude with the evil soul master! If you act like this without a bottom line, you will be punished by God one day!"

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe, who was sitting on the seat to his left, calmly moved his buttocks in the other direction to make sure that the grease on the chicken legs would not splash on him due to the other party's tearing movements. He asked hesitantly, expressing the confusion in his heart.

"Mr. Xuan, I remember you said that Ye Xishui belongs to Mr. Mu."

"Yes, you remember correctly." Mr. Xuan nodded slightly, then grabbed the wine gourd and rewarded himself with a big sip of strong wine.

Gulu——Gulu——

After drinking for a while, he was finally satisfied, and then he wiped his mouth with his greasy sleeves and sighed softly.

"I didn't expect that the two people who were at the same time as Mr. Mu are actually still alive. I'm afraid it was because of the old relationship that Mr. Mu banned Shrek from responding to this matter, right?"

Although he no longer serves as the deputy leader of the Shrek Inspection Team, he still knows a little bit about the Holy Spirit Cult becoming the state religion of the Sun and Moon Empire, including the meeting that brought together almost all the major forces of the three empires.

For this reason, he even approached Zhang Lexuan and Mr. Mu, trying to persuade them to cooperate with the three empires to jointly defeat the Holy Spirit Cult. Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory, and both parties rejected his proposal without exception.

Yan Shaozhe didn't have any special feelings. Perhaps it was because he once had a girlfriend with an evil soul master. He didn't have much hatred for this group, and his mission to kill the evil soul master was more to complete the mission.

Not forgetting the purpose of coming to the competition this time, Yan Shaozhe directly ignored Xu Tianran's speech on the stage and subconsciously glanced at the rest area where the participating team members were.

However, he searched for a long time and still couldn't find the team suspected of being from the Haotian Sect.

"It shouldn't be." Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly and murmured in confusion: "Did the Haotian Sect not come to participate in the competition?"

Just when he was disappointed and ready to give up completely, he suddenly noticed the figure sitting at the end of the rest area from the corner of his eye.

"Tang San!?"

"Huh? Are you really here? Where are you?"

Old Xuan was shocked, and subconsciously followed Yan Shaozhe's gaze, and soon noticed the gloomy-looking young man sitting on the bench with only half of his buttocks.

"No, does this kid represent the Haotian Sect?" Mr. Xuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After making sure that he had seen correctly, he couldn't help but compare his expression with Shrek who was sitting in the pergola.

"Why was it arranged in such a remote location? And this seat was really made for someone!? It couldn't be that it was picked up from a garbage station to make up for it, right?"

Not only is the location the most remote, even the small bench under them can be said to be the only one in existence. They admire the way the leader of the team sits on the lame bench with a red face, and the few people next to him. Everyone in the sect was holding back their laughter, looking like they could hardly hold back any longer.

"The Haotian Sect has been hidden in the world for many years, and even the soul masters of the three empires are not well-known to everyone. Maybe the person in charge of registration for the competition regarded them as a little-known sect?"

Speaking of this, Yan Shaozhe seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head to look at Mr. Xuan with bright eyes.

"Mr. Xuan, isn't the purpose of our trip to win over Tang San again? Do you want to take this opportunity to help them in the name of Shrek?"

However, Mr. Xuan just shook his head and refused without hesitation: "I won't help."

"Ah?" Yan Shaozhe was obviously a little stunned: "Why?"

"Alas, it seems that Shao Zheyou still has a long way to go!"

It seemed that because he saw Tang San, he felt that he was already winning. The depression caused by the evil soul master in Old Xuan's heart was swept away. He saw the old god taking a sip of wine on the ground, smacking his lips, and asked: "Think about it, we were so kind to Tang San before, but why did he choose to return to the Haotian Sect in the end?"

Before Yan Shaozhe could speak, he gave the answer straightforwardly.

"Isn't it because everything we did for him was messed up?"

"..."

It seems like you, this old guy, are still a little self-aware.

What's up with your attitude of not being ashamed, but being proud of it?

And why do I feel like you, this old guy, are so proud?

After complaining in his heart, Yan Shaozhe was humble on the surface and said respectfully: "Master Xuan, I don't understand, what does this have to do with us not helping him now."

Master Xuan didn't mean to keep the secret, and raised his hand to point to the competition venue below: "First of all, this is the Sun Moon Empire, not the Three Kingdoms of Douluo. You put on the airs of Shrek in front of them, and they won't cause trouble for you. You still want to get convenience by relying on the name of Shrek? It's impossible."

"Our relationship with Tang San is already in jeopardy. If you help him at this time, if you succeed, everyone will be happy, but what if you fail? If you mess up again, how will Tang San look at us?"

Seeing Yan Shaozhe's thoughtful look, Master Xuan took another sip of wine and continued to add.

"If you don't have to, don't take the initiative to do something you are not sure of."

"And even if we do nothing about this, the effect will not be small. Just imagine, when Tang San sat on that small bench for a long time, he turned around and found that our Shrek team was sitting on the sofa in the pergola. What would he think? Would he regret not being able to represent Shrek in the competition and enjoy the honor of being the center of attention?"

Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person seemed to come alive, and his tone was excited: "I understand, Master Xuan!"

Xuan Lao smiled faintly and shook the chicken leg in his hand, looking like a hermit who has hidden his merits and fame.

"What you said just now is actually very good. The fact that the Haotian Sect is not valued is a good opportunity for us to recruit Tang San again, but we must learn to adapt to everything."

"We don't need to be too attentive. As long as Tang San realizes the gap between the Haotian Sect and Shrek, he will naturally want to come back because of the huge gap."

Listening to Master Xuan's explanation, Yan Shaozhe seemed to have foreseen the scene where Tang San burst into tears in front of him and took the initiative to express his hope to return to Shrek. His eyes suddenly burst into an indescribable joy.

"Yes, Master Xuan!"
