Muen's words immediately caused an uproar among those present.
No one had anticipated that Muen would not only fail to distance himself from Ma Xiaotao, the Evil Soul Master, but would also want to arrest Huo Yuhao and the others?
He claimed they were going to Shrek Academy to cooperate with the investigation, but once they were inside, wouldn't everything be decided by their people?
Was Muen crazy?
Of course not!
It was just that in the current situation, there was no better solution.
Xu Jiawei's expression changed, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to play along.
"Old Muen, this is the Soul Master Tournament. Your actions will give rise to gossip and make things difficult for us, the hosts, the Star Luo Empire."
Muen took a deep look at Xu Jiawei, knowing that this guy wanted to shirk responsibility, and immediately said in a deep voice.
"Shrek Academy will take full responsibility for the consequences of this matter."
Xu Jiawei didn't say anything more, deciding to remain a bystander.
If Muen really took Huo Yuhao and those beautiful girls away, the Sun Moon Empire would absolutely not tolerate it. There was even a high probability that it could lead to war with Shrek Academy.
At that time, the Star Luo Empire could just sit back and reap the benefits.
The more fiercely Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire fought, the weaker they would both become. This was the best situation for the Star Luo Empire.
Jing Hongchen looked up at Muen, his expression uncertain.
"Muen! Are you sure you want to go against the world and do something that will ruin Shrek's reputation at the Soul Master Tournament?!"
Muen ignored Jing Hongchen and walked directly towards Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao.
Instead, after losing the suppression of those Title Douluo from the Star Luo Empire, Xuanzi climbed up from the ground and gave Jing Hongchen a cruel smile.
"Old toad, I just said, I'll make you pay for this!"
Jing Hongchen glanced at Xuanzi with disdain and unhesitatingly took out a signal flare he had prepared from his storage soul tool, instantly launching it.
Seeing the signal flare explode in the air, Muen's heart sank, and his expression became somewhat solemn.
In the next second, Kong Deming directly appeared on the severely damaged competition field, standing in front of Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan.
Kong Deming looked at Muen in front of him, his gaze gradually becoming grim.
"You Shrek, or rather, you Muen, are really shameless!"
Muen's expression changed, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you?"
Muen could sense the person in front of him was a Super Douluo, but he had never seen him before. The only thing he knew was that Kong Deming was most likely from the Sun Moon Empire, and perhaps the Sun Moon Empire had been prepared for his appearance for a while. That's why, besides Jing Hongchen, they had secretly arranged for another person to follow!
Thinking of that possibility, Muen's mood became increasingly heavy.
Kong Deming stared fixedly at Muen, his tone icy.
"I am Zhang Lexuan's great-great-grandfather! Huo Yuhao's teacher! The Sun Moon Empire's Great Offering! What? Do you want to try to kill me and capture those geniuses from our Sun Moon Empire for your Shrek Academy?"
Whoosh!
Following Kong Deming's words, both Muen and the Title Douluos from the Star Luo Empire stared wide-eyed, looking at Kong Deming as if facing a great enemy.
Kong Deming, the Great Offering of the Sun Moon Empire, they had heard of this name and knew he was the strongest person in the Sun Moon Empire.
Even Kong Deming had come to prevent any accidents?
Did the people from the Sun Moon Empire value the contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy so much?
Muen's eyes were clouded. Compared to the actions of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy, their Shrek was simply pathetic!
Even with Xuanzi, a ninety-eight ranked Super Douluo, accompanying them, the contestants were nearly wiped out. Furthermore, even Dai Yueheng and He Caitou could have been killed right in front of Xuanzi.
How could Xuanzi be so useless? He knew something was wrong, so why didn't the fool just admit defeat? Had he forgotten what he'd said before, that losing this Soul Master Tournament wouldn't be a big deal?
The difference was clear!
Muen shook his head, denying it to Kong Deming.
"It's not about taking them away; it's about having them cooperate with me in investigating the situation."
Kong Deming sneered upon hearing this, not giving any face, and exposed the truth.
"Isn't the situation already obvious? Your Shrek Academy has produced a ruthless Evil Soul Master who doesn't hesitate to kill, whether it's her classmates or innocent spectators. She shows no mercy."
"Why haven't you taken action to eliminate her? Shrek, you've always prided yourselves on being the bane of Evil Soul Masters, constantly saying you wouldn't let any Evil Soul Master run rampant on the continent."
Kong Deming's words left Muen speechless, but to prevent the attention of those around them from continuing to focus on Ma Xiaotao, which could lead to an unmanageable situation, Muen shook his head and changed the subject.
"If you're worried about the safety of these children, there's no need. This old man wouldn't stoop to harming a group of children. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to Shrek Academy and stay with them the whole time."
Kong Deming was so enraged he laughed. He truly underestimated Muen's shamelessness.
He even had the gall to act all righteous and ask him to accompany them?
Did he think everyone was as foolish as Xuanzi?
"Wouldn't harm the children? How was the Zhang family wiped out by you? No need for any more nonsense, with me here, you won't be taking them away! Let's go, let's fight outside the city!"
"Although I'd love to kill you right now, I'm not like you people from Shrek, disregarding the safety of others and starting fights whenever you feel like it! Completely disregarding whether the surrounding people will die because of it!"
Kong Deming had wanted to go to Shrek Academy to fight Xuanzi a long time ago, but he had endured for the sake of the bigger picture. Now that he finally had this opportunity, and he had also become a Super Douluo with the help of that Life Gold, he certainly couldn't miss it.
Muen was at a loss for words, and the thought of slapping Xuanzi to death became even stronger in his heart.
Ma Xiaotao killing those innocent ordinary people could still be explained by being consumed by her evil fire, but how dare Xuanzi fight Jing Hongchen and Crushing Star Douluo in front of tens of thousands of people?
Even an idiot should have a limit, right?
Muen felt the fear and resentment of the people around him, but couldn't say a word. He followed Kong Deming and flew out of the city.
Xuanzi, seemingly emboldened by his newfound support, grinned at Jing Hongchen.
"Old toad, you got the guts to fight me again?"
Jing Hongchen didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed.
Seeing Jing Hongchen nod, Xuanzi stomped his foot, his body shooting towards the city's outskirts, shouting all the while.
"Old toad! I'll be waiting for you outside! If you're late, you can help Kong Deming pick up his corpse!"
Jing Hongchen didn't take Xuanzi's threat seriously. These guys had no idea how terrifying a Super Douluo-level, Rank 9 Soul Tool Master could be.
Before leaving, Jing Hongchen went to the city wall to find Xu Jiawei. Looking at the Crushing Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo blocking his path, Jing Hongchen said nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, we must trouble you to look after the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy for a while. Also, a few Soul Tool Master corps from our Sun Moon Empire are currently conducting military exercises in the Bright Fight Mountain Range. They're testing the effects and power of the attack-type Soul Tools jointly developed by Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen, which can be used without soul power, so there might be a bit of a commotion."
"But don't worry too much. Those corps will be very disciplined and definitely won't cross the border into the Star Luo Empire. Please don't be concerned; after all, it's just an exercise."
