"Don't offer me a toast, only to drink a penalty drink!"
With a cold snort, Da Weisi released his martial soul, and his body immediately expanded, breaking the two-meter mark. His muscles tore through his clothes, producing the sound of fabric ripping.
Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Davis, hesitated for a moment, and also released her martial soul.
Shui Yue'er was shocked and cried out, "Are you all crazy? You can't casually release martial souls in Tiandou City!"
"The laws of the Tiandou Empire have no say over me!" He sneered, his eyes bloodshot, filled with a wild, brutal intent.
Zhu Zhuyun urgently said, "Zhuqing, come with us now. Something major has happened in the Star Luo Empire, and you no longer have a choice!"
Zhu Zhuqing calmly looked at the two, but did not speak.
Her eyes quickly glanced at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng saw this and helplessly shook his head. He pointed towards the direction of the Blue Tyrant Academy, then turned and left.
He decided to leave this matter to Zhu Zhuqing to handle herself.
There was only one Star Luo royal expert nearby, secretly protecting Dai Weisi.
He left to avoid influencing Zhu Zhuqing's actions.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood Dan Heng's meaning. She nodded to Shui Yue'er, "Yue'er, you should leave. This has nothing to do with you."
"I don't..." Shui Yue'er, full of loyalty, wanted to stay and fight alongside Zhu Zhuqing.
"It's fine. If you stay, you'll just be a hindrance," Zhu Zhuqing said frankly.
Shui Yue'er paused, feeling a bit awkward, and reluctantly said, "Alright, I'll leave for now. But Zhu Qing, these two aren't weak..."
As she spoke, Shui Yue'er left with the crowd.
The nearby pedestrians all retreated, keeping a distance of over thirty meters, but they didn't fully flee. It seemed more like they were watching a spectacle.
After all, both sides in the conflict were handsome men and beautiful women.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're planning to resist us? Don't do anything unnecessary!" Zhu Zhuyun cried anxiously.
Dai Weisi sneered, "You're as foolish as your traitor father!"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Zhuqing froze. She hadn't yet heard about the events in the Star Luo Empire.
Hearing Dai Weisi insult her father like this, her eyes turned cold.
She had originally planned to flee, thinking the two wouldn't be able to catch up, but now that Dai Weisi had insulted her father...
In the next moment, Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly generated a black shadow.
Her speed was so fast that a shadow afterimage appeared.
Zhu Zhuyun immediately blocked in front of Dai Weisi, and two soul rings glowed, releasing an attack called "Ghostly Claws of the Underworld."
Hundreds of sharp tendrils appeared to intercept Zhu Zhuqing.
But the black shadow of Zhu Zhuqing bypassed these attacks.
In terms of speed and agility, Zhu Zhuqing completely overwhelmed Zhu Zhuyun. The latter couldn't even find Zhu Zhuqing's shadow.
The "Zhu Zhuqing" she had thought was merely an afterimage!
"How is this possible?"
Zhu Zhuyun's pupils contracted.
She had only encountered such a speed difference from a soul king-level family soul master.
But now, with a soul power not stronger than her own, Zhu Zhuqing had outpaced her?
What kind of progress had Zhu Zhuqing made?
Was she really just self-destructive all this time?
While Zhu Zhuyun was lost in thought, a loud shout came from behind, followed by an angry roar.
"Damn it! Zhu Zhuqing! You've angered me!"
Zhu Zhuyun quickly turned around.
She saw Dai Weisi, originally standing, suddenly knocked to the ground by a black shadow. At the same time, the hundreds of attacks all landed on him.
His muscular body showed numerous wounds, bleeding profusely.
His left cheek was also swollen.
Zhu Zhuqing had actually slapped him down with a single strike!
"Idiot!" Zhu Zhuyun cursed, rushing to assist him.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't engage with her. Instead, she nimbly jumped onto a nearby rooftop, bouncing a few times before quickly disappearing.
Zhu Zhuyun watched as she failed to catch up, a look of melancholy flashing across her face.
She... couldn't catch up!
Meanwhile, in the shadows, a Star Luo royal soul sage saw this scene and was about to take action. But the moment he moved, a powerful aura locked onto him.
In an instant, his mind went blank. He didn't even know who he was anymore.
Let alone helping Dai Weisi to resolve the issue.
Thus, Zhu Zhuqing floated away unimpeded, without a single threat in her path.
Clap clap clap...!!
The residents of Tiandou City clapped and cheered.
Zhu Zhuqing's move was flawless. She was fast, graceful, bypassing Zhu Zhuyun's interception and taking down Dai weisi in an instant!
Davis' face turned red. Apart from the swelling on his left cheek, both sides of his face had turned colorless!
"Damn it! The Zhu family scum! I'm going to kill her! She deserves to die with her traitor father!"
Dai Weisi screamed, completely enraged.
Zhu Zhuyun stood by silently, not daring to speak, even though Dai Weisi was cursing her sister and father.
At the same time, she couldn't help but think to herself.
In less than a year, how had Zhu Zhuqing made such incredible progress?
Facing Zhu Zhuqing, she had no hope of winning!
"Ahhh!!"
He screamed in frustration, his eyes bloodshot as he looked around at the other residents, about to explode in anger.
But a team of Tiandou City soldiers rushed over, surrounding him.
"Now, immediately disperse your martial soul! Otherwise, we'll take violent measures!"
Several soul masters stepped forward, keeping a vigilant eye on Dai Weisi.
"..."
Dai Weisi gritted his teeth and dispelled his martial soul.
Then, he showed his identification badge to them.
At Blue Tyrant Academy, Library.
Shui Yue'er and Zhu Zhuqing had returned together.
While Zhu Zhuqing was dealing with Dai Weisi, Shui Yue'er had entered the crowd and didn't leave. She had witnessed Zhu Zhuqing easily suppress both of them.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're amazing! Your speed and attacking power are unbeatable! I bet you could even defeat a Soul Sovereign, right?"
"Did Dan Heng teach you all that? Dan Heng, you really know how to teach! Do you think I'm suited for this?"
Shui Yue'er playfully draped her arm over Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, unable to resist promoting herself.
Dan Heng shook his head slightly, reminding her, "Keep your voice down. This is the library."
Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue, knocked her head, and stopped talking.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dan Heng and hesitated, "Teacher, they might come after us. Should I..."
"No need to worry about it." Dan Heng shook his head.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, feeling a sense of relief.
At first, she was worried that Dan Heng might not want her to go home because of the trouble, but now, with Dan Heng by her side, she smiled more.
"Now, let's try using the soul guide. I'll teach you both how..."
Dan Heng said.
He then began teaching the two women about the knowledge of engraving soul guides.
Both had done their homework before and were quite intelligent.
They immediately understood how to operate it.
They began engraving the core magic array at the service desk.
Shui Yue'er had been a bit restless at first, occasionally sneaking peeks at Dan Heng.
But when she saw how focused Zhu Zhuqing was and how fast and well she worked, Shui Yue'er became serious and fully immersed in the task.
Dan Heng observed for a while and saw that they both had great talent and made no mistakes. He then instructed them to leave the service desk and move to another area to continue engraving.
"...Teacher Dan Heng, you're so heartless..." Shui Yue'er said with a playful, wistful tone.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the door, quickly moving towards the service desk.
Dan Heng and Zhu Zhuqing both looked at the figure, which was a handsome man with golden hair—none other than... Dai Mubai!
Dai Mubai approached the three and flashed a proud smile on his handsome face.
He locked eyes with Zhu Zhuqing and softly said:
"Zhu Zhuqing, the Star Luo royal family is sending people here! And they'll be in Tiandou City very soon. I'll explain our situation then. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better stop resisting me..."
Zhu Zhuqing calmly looked at the other party and coldly said, "Not interested. If there's nothing else, leave here and don't disturb us."
Dai Mubai's expression changed, but he did not flare up. Tilting his head proudly, he said, "Zhu Zhuqing, fine, I won't argue with you about this for now. But when you see the Star Luo Imperial Family and come begging me, remember your current arrogance! I will make you kneel down and beg me!"
After speaking, Dai Mubai couldn't help but laugh, striding out with a sense of pride.
Shui Yue'er muttered, "That psycho, anyone who falls for him would have bad luck for eight lifetimes! He's only got a pretty face!"
Zhu Zhuqing helplessly glanced at Shui Yue'er. Well, this one really is a fangirl; her main focus is Dai Mubai's face!
"Teacher…" Zhu Zhuqing then asked Dan Heng.
Dan Heng shook his head slightly, not taking it to heart.
Zhu Zhuqing was reassured, and with Water Yue'er, they left.
Shui Yue'er was extremely unwilling, wanting to stay closer to Dan Heng.
At the same time, Gu Yue Na was actually not teaching. She had received a report from the fierce beast spirit.
The spirit respectfully said, "My lord, as per your instructions, we've supported Prince Zhu and have already conquered half of the Star Luo Empire..."
Gu Yue Na nodded slightly, pacing back and forth in the forest.
Once the Star Luo Empire is completely replaced by the Fengdan (Fontain) Empire, they will be able to establish an empire that is friendly to soul beasts.
This way, it can also benefit the soul beasts.
As for the plan to drag Dan Heng down and push toward the road of ambition and power...
She now found herself somewhat unwilling.
"The current husband already makes me love him so much that I can't let go. Do I really need to change him for my own ambitions?"
"Knowing that he doesn't like it, should I still involve him in this?"
Gu Yue Na frowned slightly as she thought.
"!!!"
The spirit immediately lowered its head, feeling uneasy.
The lord was frowning—was she dissatisfied with their achievements?
After a long silence, Gu Yue Na let out a deep breath.
"I can't bear to disrupt Dan Heng's peaceful life."
"Forget it, my recovery speed is quite fast, and I estimate I'll fully recover in about a hundred years. By then, I can accomplish everything on my own... Or maybe I should have children with my husband as soon as possible. This way, the next generation can help me, and I won't have to trouble him."
Gu Yue Na's eyes quickly brightened, and her determination became firm.
"That's what I'll do! Have a child!"
"Then train them to surpass myself."
"First, I'll practice with the Fengdan Empire. Once my strength improves, I'll deal with those gods!"
"I need to come up with a plan to cultivate the Dragon Son!"
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall, although Bibi Dong had lost the title of Pope, no one dared to ignore her in the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.
As soon as news came, it was reported to Bibi Dong.
For example, the situation in the Star Luo Empire was one of the first to be reported to her.
Bibi Dong had been resting because the impact of that memory was so great that it was hard for her to completely remain unaffected.
Moreover, she had been confined by the Rakshasa God!
The Rakshasa God had ordered her not to interfere with Dan Heng, nor engage in any unnecessary matters, until she clarified Dan Heng's identity.
After all, Dan Heng's voice had directly shaken her true body in the God Realm. It had terrified the gods!
Bibi Dong looked at the battle report, and her head began to ache from what was written.
"The situation is getting worse!"
"The Spirit Hall is splitting apart, and with the Star Luo Empire in turmoil, it's almost impossible to get those soul master families to return."
Bibi Dong was almost depressed, feeling like she was cursed with bad luck.
The soul master families that had previously rebelled in the Star Luo Empire could still be salvaged, as their power, although strong, was scattered. Moreover, neither of the two empires could afford to put too much pressure on the Spirit Hall.
But now, with two forces in the Star Luo Empire, both of them would want to gain the support of the soul master families to increase their power. They definitely wouldn't easily let the Spirit Hall take them back!
At this point, Hu Liena came in and saw Bibi Dong's troubled face.
She hesitated and asked, "Teacher, are you still troubled by Mr. Dan Heng?"
"Huh?" Bibi Dong was stunned.
Hu Liena stood at the door with a complicated expression. "These past few days, I often hear you calling Mr. Dan Heng's name in your dreams..."
Bibi Dong's face immediately turned red. "You... You heard wrong! How could I... I could never be interested in a married man! Now, leave! Nana, teacher has important matters to attend to!"
Bibi Dong turned around, her delicate body trembling.
Calling Dan Heng's name... It wasn't something she had done in her dreams...
She didn't know how much Hu Liena had seen.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Tang Xiao had come here and told Ning Fengzhi about Dan Heng and Bibi Dong's meeting. He laughed loudly and said:
"I told you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Sect Master Ning, are you going to trust that useless guy?"
Ning Fengzhi fell silent and stared at Tang Xiao, deep in thought.
If it were before, he would have insisted on following Dan Heng's plan, even if it meant that Dan Heng had contact with Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall.
But now... he had learned about the situation in the Star Luo Empire.
"Sect Master, I think we should cooperate with the Clear Sky Sect! The opportunity is fleeting! If we miss it, we won't get another chance!"
"Exactly! Although I don't know who suggested this, it clearly isn't right! What kind of thing has no risk? If there's absolutely no risk, how can there be any gain?"
"Yes, sect master!"
"…"
Almost all the elders were urging Ning Fengzhi to respond to the Clear Sky Sect.
Ning Fengzhi thought about Dan Heng's advice, closed his eyes, and slowly said, "Alright..."
