Chapter 72 of the First Person
Seeing that Zhang Huanyun had misunderstood her meaning, Long Yeyue could only repeat what she had just said. Rather than letting resources be wasted in the Blood God Legion, it would be better to give them to Shrek Academy, so that they could shine in the great work of protecting the continent.
After learning from a legion commander surnamed Chen that the Blood God Legion was receiving support from various powerful forces, Long Yeyue immediately set her sights on this opportunity.
She believed that Zhang Huanyun, as the commander of the Blood God Legion, was definitely a sensible person. To give Yun Ming and the others a surprise, she didn't tell anyone and set off alone to the Blood God Legion to collect their share of resources from Shrek Academy.
But the situation was different from what she had imagined. Zhang Huanyun didn't respectfully offer up the resources as she had expected. There was only a deathly silence.
"Old Cao! I can't hold back anymore, just tell me! Are you going to help me or stand by and do nothing for Shrek's sake?" Zhang Huanyun looked at Cao Dezhi with a serious expression.
Cao Dezhi shook his head calmly: "No! Elder Long has to experience the pain before she'll behave. I'll join you this time. Everyone else, don't move. Third Sister, Fifth Brother, if you find it difficult, go back and guard the Abyss Passage immediately. This is just Long Yeyue's personal action; we won't blame you."
Zhang Huanyun nodded: "Blood Three, Blood Five. I have seen your contributions to the Blood God Legion over the years. This is just Long Yeyue's personal behavior, and I will not implicate you. After today, everything will be the same as before, and we will still be good comrades who share life and death."
Blood Three and Blood Five hadn't expected things to develop this way. Blood Five looked at Blood Three helplessly and said, "Third Sister! What do you say? Should we intervene, or should we do as Big Brother said and guard the Abyss Passage, pretending we didn't see this?"
After listening to Blood Fifth's words, Blood Third pondered for a moment. He lowered his head in shame: "Big Brother, Legion Commander. We both have some connection with Long Yeyue. It's really not appropriate for us to take action! I'm sorry, we can only be deserters this time."
"It's alright! One of you is Yun Ming's cousin, and the other is Yun Ming's student. It would be difficult for you to stay here!" Xue Er reassured the two, telling them not to take it to heart.
After Xue San nodded, he and Xue Wu transformed into two streaks of light and flew downwards.
After Xue San and Xue Wu left, Zhang Huanyun had no more worries. He solemnly looked at the others: "Everyone! If the battle in a little while is about to affect Xiaomian, I hope you will lend a hand to defend against it."
"Easy to say!"
"Definitely!"
"Rest assured, Your Excellency Mingjing!"
.......................................
The others readily agreed to Zhang Huanyun's request. Seeing that everything was arranged, Zhang Huanyun felt a long-lost surge of excitement welling up inside him.
"Old Cao, Old Xu, let's go!" With that, Zhang Huanyun charged forward first. Behind him, Cao Dezhi looked at Xu Xuandou with a strange expression: "Old Xu! I feel like Old Zhang's words are weird. It's like he's treating us like dogs."
"Don't worry about it! Let's focus on the battle ahead!" Xu Xuandou said, then attacked Long Yeyue. Long Yeyue had angered everyone this time; it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to use some force!
"I get the feeling you're settling a personal score!" Cao Dezhi, speechless, followed after the excited Xu Xuandou. Long Yeyue had really gone too far this time. She needed to be taught a lesson.
Nine spirit rings—four black and five red—appeared behind Xu Xuandou. The seventh, third, fourth, and fifth spirit rings flashed simultaneously.
A hundred-foot-tall golden Xuanwu, its entire body golden and its back covered with intricately patterned seashells, appeared in the sky, bathing the entire Blood God Legion camp in a golden light.
The golden Xuanwu roared to the sky, golden, water-like energy enveloping its body. Its already powerful aura intensified even further.
Long Yeyue stared in disbelief at the three people attacking her. How dare they? She was currently Shrek Academy's most virtuous and accomplished senior.
Has Cao Dezhi disregarded the friendship between the two major powers? Isn't Zhang Huanyun afraid that Shrek Academy will stop recommending students to the Blood God Legion in the future? Isn't Xu Xuandou afraid that Shrek Academy will hold their Xuanming Sect accountable afterward? How dare they?
Just as Long Yeyue was caught off guard and lost in thought, a golden light suddenly appeared around her.
She quickly used her soul power to break free of the restraints, but the golden Xuanwu true form had already appeared before her eyes. After roaring to the sky, it charged towards Long Yeyue with unstoppable force.
Chapter 136, Article 131: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind.
Nine spirit rings—seven black and two red—appeared behind Long Yeyue, with the seventh ring emitting a dazzling light. The Radiant Holy Dragon True Form, gleaming with blinding white light, met the Golden Armored Xuanwu True Form with unstoppable momentum.
Bang! A deafening roar echoed as the two colossal figures collided. Long Yeyue's eyes darkened; the Xuanming Sect was still as troublesome as ever.
Because the battlefield was high in the sky, other Soul Masters couldn't see it. But Long Yeyue could clearly see the small, rotating vortexes on the surface of Xu Xuandou's Golden Armor Xuanwu True Form.
Feeling the loss of soul power within her body, Long Yeyue angrily controlled her Light Holy Dragon True Body and slapped the Golden Armored Black Tortoise True Body with a claw, interrupting the other's absorption of soul power from her body.
Xu Xuandou calmly raised his hand again, and his sixth soul ring lit up. A golden body of water appeared out of thin air, enveloping the space where the Holy Light Dragon's true form and his own true form were located.
Roar! The golden-armored Xuanwu roared excitedly and charged once again toward the true form of the Holy Light Dragon, whose movements were hindered in the golden waters.
The fifth soul skill, Turtle God Strike, strikes the opponent and simultaneously creates a powerful vortex on the body's surface, continuously consuming the opponent's soul power during the absorption process.
The sixth soul skill, Xuanwu Domain, amplifies all of a soul master's abilities by 100%, while the pressure of the water exerts both mental and physical pressure on the opponent within it.
Sensing the Holy Dragon's current state, Long Yeyue's expression darkened further. Three against one, she had no chance of winning. But even if she wanted to run, Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun, who were always nearby, were no pushovers.
These three were determined to teach her a lesson today. And Yun Lan and her companion were there too. Traitors! They were a disgrace to Shrek Academy! Long Yeyue had come to collect resources for Shrek Academy's benefit, but instead of helping, they chose to turn a blind eye.
Once today's events are over, she'll make sure Yun Ming fires them both. Shrek Academy doesn't have traitors like that.
Although Long Yeyue was secretly anxious, she knew that the most important thing today was to get through this hurdle first. She glared angrily at Cao Dezhi beside her, intending to start by getting through to him and awaken his rationality.
He must have stayed here too long, making him forget the glory of Shrek Academy. But Long Yeyue was confident that, after she awakened him, he would remember what the glory of Shrek Academy was.
“Cao Dezhi! We Shrek Academy and your Tang Sect have been comrades-in-arms for ten thousand years. You were once the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, and my husband, Tianjuan Douluo, also mentored you. According to seniority, it is not inappropriate for you to call me Master’s Wife.”
At this point, Long Yeyue seemed to be standing on the moral high ground. She said with a heavy expression, "Now that I, your teacher's wife, am being humiliated, shouldn't you, as my student, stand on the same side as me?"
But look at you! Not only did you not help me, you joined them in their evil deeds. If my husband were still alive, do you think he would be at peace?
Cao Dezhi frowned. This Long Yeyue was starting to use her brain now. She knew to bring up his past relationship with Shrek Academy to get his help.
"Elder Long! I am not only a student of Shrek Academy, but also the Blood God Legion's Blood One! The Blood God Legion has always been stationed on the front line of the war between Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane, so I cannot let the soldiers of our Blood God Legion feel disheartened because of our past relationship."
Hearing Cao Dezhi's words, Zhang Huanyun nodded with emotion. He had always witnessed Cao Dezhi's contributions over the years, and Cao Dezhi had carefully maintained the Blood God Legion as his second home.
"Good brother! You're so loyal!" Zhang Huanyun flew to Cao Dezhi and patted him on the shoulder.
Xu Xuandou, who was in the middle of a fierce battle between the Golden Armored Black Tortoise True Body and the Bright Holy Dragon True Body, looked at the three who had started arguing again with a strange expression!
"Let's fight! Why waste so much time talking!" Just as Xu Xuandou's eighth soul ring was about to flash and deliver a powerful blow to Long Yeyue, a soul power transmission sounded in his ear.
Xuan Dou, stop! The situation is a bit complicated now; there are still people lurking here! You continue to hold off Long Yeyue's Martial Soul True Body, and I'll handle the rest.
Father! There's someone else? Who is it?! Although Xu Xuandou's expression remained unchanged, his heart was in turmoil. The only person who could hide so deeply under the noses of the three Limit Douluos present could only be a Quasi-God level expert.
What's going on?! The Blood God Legion has already gathered five Limit Douluos. Is it going to be this lively today?!
Xu Xuandou then slowed his attack and began to hold back the true form of the Holy Light Dragon to prevent her from reuniting with Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue sensed that Xu Xuandou's offensive had weakened and concluded that her words had made him hesitant. She became even more confident in her next plan.
"Dezhi! Come! Stand beside me! I'll assume you were bewitched by those Blood God Legion demons. As long as you stand on my side, our two forces will remain close allies. How can the mere Blood God Legion compare to the importance of our two forces in the Douluo Continent?"
"We are the true guardians of the continent, the defenders of justice. The Douluo Continent can do without any other force, but it absolutely cannot do without us!" Long Yeyue looked at Cao Dezhi with full confidence. She believed that after her earnest persuasion, Cao Dezhi would know what to do.
"Say what you just said again!" Cao Dezhi walked step by step through the void toward Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue said excitedly, "Good child! You've finally figured it out! Our two major powers are the cornerstone of the continent. We are the ones who..."
"You son of a bitch! Old Bei must have been blind to have fallen for a slut like you!" Cao Dezhi swung his sword before Long Yeyue could finish speaking.
The crimson sword energy, carrying Cao Dezhi's pent-up rage, attacked Long Yeyue! Long Yue's fifth soul ring flashed, and a deafening dragon roar erupted from her mouth.
"Our Blood God Legion has contributed so much to the Douluo Continent! How dare you Shrek Academy members humiliate us like this!" Zhang Huanyun, already furious after hearing those words, also attacked.
A mirror nearly a hundred meters tall stood high in the sky, emitting a beam of light carrying Zhang Huanyun's anger as it aimed at Long Yeyue below.
Boom! Because she was held back by Cao Dezhi's merciless sword, Long Yeyue could only endure Zhang Huanyun's attack.
Fourth Soul Skill: Holy Dragon Barrier
Fifth Soul Skill: Holy Dragon Transformation
The beam of light struck Long Yeyue and emitted a dazzling light.
As the light faded, Long Yeyue, though unharmed, was covered in soot. At that moment, Xu Xuandou, who was already prepared, swiftly struck Long Yeyue with his shield.
The Blood God Legion below was filled with excitement. Although they didn't know who the other party was, since she dared to cause trouble for their Blood God Legion, they should fight her regardless of which faction she belonged to.
In the dark space rift
Chen Xinjie felt a pang of heartache as he watched Long Yeyue being beaten by three unsportsmanlike individuals.
After that phone call with Long Yeyue, he felt uneasy. To prevent Long Yeyue from being bullied, he deliberately infiltrated Shrek Academy and followed her to the Blood God Legion after she came out.
Seeing Long Yeyue being pushed back by the three men's attacks, Chen Xinjie knew that taking action now would only make things more chaotic, but he couldn't ignore his only love.
The Vast Ocean Douluo, Chen Xinjie, is finally about to make his move.
Chapter 137 The Red-Warm Cloud Underworld
Whoosh! Endless seawater appeared out of thin air, condensing into a winding, swirling waterspout, layer upon layer, churning endlessly. It enveloped Long Yeyue, and the three attacked her.
Sensing that familiar presence, Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. In contrast, Xu Xuandou suddenly realized. "So it was him!"
Chen Xinjie's figure slowly appeared. He looked at Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun, whose faces were grim, and said:
"Dezhi, Huanyun. Stop fighting! Yue'er said a few wrong things, but it's not worth a fight. You are all key players in the fight against the Abyss. I hope this can be resolved peacefully. Let's talk things out!"
Long Yeyue looked at Chen Xinjie as he walked slowly towards her, her expression complicated: "You shouldn't have come."
"But for you, it's all worth it!" Chen Xinjie felt a warmth in his heart when he heard the concern in Long Yeyue's words. He knew that Yue'er still cared about him.
Even if he is the top figure in the Federal military, he won't escape unscathed if he shows up now! Below him are not only people from their Temple of War, but also representatives from the Central Legion, the Southern Legion, and the Western Legion.
Once he shows himself, they will definitely report today's events to their superiors. Neither Shrek nor he will fare well then. Thinking of this, Chen Xinjie felt a headache coming on.
He wasn't paying attention, and Yue'er said something so thoughtless! The Blood God Legion has many soldiers who have been guarding this place for generations. If the outside world finds out what Yue'er said today, the Federation, which is already dissatisfied with Shrek Academy, will have an excuse to cause trouble for Shrek Academy.
"Old Chen! You are the number one person in our Federation military. You also heard what Long Ye'er said just now! Our Blood God Legion has guarded this place for thousands of years, and many officers have been guarding this place for generations with their entire families. Even if they have no merit, they have certainly worked hard."
At this point, Zhang Huanyun angrily pointed at Long Yeyue: "How dare she! With just one sentence, she erased all the sacrifices we've made over hundreds and thousands of years. What does she mean by saying we can do without any other faction, but we can't do without Shrek Academy? How dare she say such a thing? I..."
The more Zhang Huanyun spoke, the angrier he became, and by the end, his words were filled with profanity. Cao Dezhi stared at his old friend in disbelief. In all his years in the Blood God Legion, this was the first time he had ever seen Old Zhang so angry.
Hearing Zhang Huanyun's increasingly vulgar words, Long Yeyue's face darkened considerably. How dare Zhang Huanyun insult her like this! She angrily wanted to step forward, but Chen Xinjie shook his head.
Xu Xuandou watched this scene with excitement. It was just that he couldn't take out his soul communication device right now, otherwise he would have recorded it and shown it to his sister and brother-in-law later.
Pointing his finger at Long Yeyue and cursing her is a rare sight indeed.
"Alright, Huanyun! What kind of behavior is this?" Chen Xinjie frowned, having been scolding Zhang Huanyun for so long. Instead of stopping, Zhang Huanyun's scolding grew increasingly agitated, escalating from insults directed at her mother to her ancestors.
"This time, Yue'er was in the wrong! I'll have her apologize to your Blood God Legion. Given the Blood God Legion's secrecy, you know it's impossible for them to issue a public apology! I'll personally go to the Sea God Pavilion and have them send someone to apologize to your Blood God Legion. Let's leave it at that for today!"
Sensing Chen Xinjie's blatant favoritism, Long Yeyue looked at the man's back with a complicated expression. Although it was unbelievable, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. He still cared about her.
Zhang Huanyun stared wide-eyed at Chen Xinjie, who remained calm on the other side. He couldn't understand how the top leader of the Federal military could utter such shameless words.
Long Yeyue only needed to apologize and then she could leave. The losses would all be attributed to Shrek Academy, and Long Yeyue would still be unscathed. Cao Dezhi glared angrily at Chen Xinjie. Why did Chen Xinjie have to drag the entire Shrek Academy into this when a few blows to Long Yeyue would have been enough?
He dragged Shrek Academy into this; will the Tang Sect side with them or not? He still has a score to settle with Long Yeyue regarding the Tang Sect!
The resources that their Tang Clan was supposed to donate were embezzled by Long Yeyue, causing him to lose face in the Blood God Legion and even arguing with Zang Xin about it. He hadn't even gotten revenge yet, and Long Yeyue was already packing her bags and leaving? What a joke!
Xu Xuandou raised an eyebrow. It's true what they say, good people don't live long, but bad people live on forever! Even that crazy old woman, Long Yeyue, has people protecting her! Chen Xinjie must be blind; why is he still protecting Long Yeyue now?!
