Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 382 Aftermath! (4.5k) (ask for monthly pass!)

The phoenix landed on the branch of the paulownia tree, its cry was melodious and moving, evoking endless reverie.

The towering phoenix tree reaches straight into the phoenix's nest, full of vitality and intoxicating. Its branches and leaves are warm, attracting the phoenix to lie down and rest, its soul trembling.

While in deep sleep, Jing Shaoyu felt the warmth and softness entwining around him, and beautiful thoughts flashed through his mind. Although he had doubts, they did not affect the overall situation. He was at a critical juncture of awakening his divine blood and could not be distracted.

The sun rises, and the sunlight shines on the broken ruins. The rich loneliness and desolation hits everyone who sees this scene.

Yun Ming, Yali, Guan Yue, as well as the late-coming Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, and even the Spiritual Douluo Qiangu Dongfeng.

Whatever the reason, they all looked unhappy.

Poseidon Island, Poseidon Lake, and the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy all disappeared in the explosion. There was only an extremely huge cemetery here, the deepest of which was over a thousand meters deep. Groundwater was gushing out from the bottom of the cemetery and was slowly rising. Perhaps within a day, Shrek Academy would be able to gain a new lake that was several times larger than Poseidon Lake.

However, to Yun Ming, this was nothing but sarcasm.

Dozens of inner court disciples were searching for something in the pit.

"Yun Ming, I'm so sad!" Chen Xinjie said with a serious expression and an apologetic voice, "The students are still alive. Some economic losses are not a big deal. I will propose to the Federal Parliament to help Shrek Academy rebuild."

Chen Xinjie was naturally sincere, because he had absolute responsibility for the attack. After all, the two level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells were kept by their War God Temple, and as the master of the War God Temple, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

At this moment, besides anger, he also felt a little relief and ease in his heart. He certainly did not want to see the destruction of Shrek Academy, but the destruction of the golden tree reduced his pressure sharply. At least there would not be a real magic gun hanging over his head.

“We at the Spirit Pagoda will also assist in the reconstruction of your academy.” Qiangu Dongfeng also expressed his opinion, in a serious tone with sadness in his eyes. One might have thought that he was feeling sad for Shrek Academy.

In fact, he was worried and afraid for Leng Yaozhu. Everything he did was caused by Leng Yaozhu. Now Leng Yaozhu's life or death was unknown. Even if Shrek Academy suffered a severe blow and suffered heavy losses, how could he feel happy?

“Thank you for your kindness.” Yun Ming refused with a blank expression and a calm tone, “Although Shrek Academy suffered heavy losses in this disaster, it is still capable of reconstruction. There is no need for outsiders to interfere.”

"That's right!" Long Yeyue looked at Chen Xinjie angrily and shouted, "Instead of using money to atone for the sin, it is better to punish the criminal directly! Chen Xinjie, Shrek Academy needs a reasonable explanation and a satisfactory account from your War God Temple and the Federation!"

"What Elder Long said is absolutely right!" Zang Xin immediately gave his support, saying, "The Holy Spirit Church was able to steal two Soul-killing missiles from the core of the Federation and the Temple of War. Does this mean that someone in the Federation and the Temple of War is colluding with the evil soul masters? In my opinion, the people who are colluding with the evil soul masters must be high-level people, and it is very likely a group of people!"

"This..." Chen Xinjie's heart sank when he heard what Long Yeyue and Zang Xin said. He thought to himself that what was supposed to happen had finally happened. He couldn't help but curse those insects in his heart. They were more likely to cause trouble than to help. He knew very well that it was impossible for anyone in the War God Temple to collude with the Holy Spirit Church, but he could draw up a list of the top leaders of the Federation.

These people are all powerful enough to influence the federal political situation and stability. If they really want to clear them all out, the federation will probably fall apart immediately, because these people are absolute power holders, and the strength and power behind them are not easy to deal with. Some of them even come from Shrek Academy, so Chen Xinjie remained silent.

Seeing Chen Xinjie remained silent, Long Yeyue was furious. She pointed at Chen Xinjie's nose and cursed, "Chen Xinjie, you coward, are you planning to back down again? Have you forgotten what you promised me on the way here?"

“Yeyue, I…” Chen Xinjie, as a quasi-god, was scolded by the old lady Long Yeyue and dared not talk back. He looked very cowardly, but his attitude did not change. He said, “Of course I will not condone the scum who colluded with the evil soul master, but this matter cannot be rushed!”

As he spoke, he winked at Guan Yue, hoping that he would say something.

"So, the Palace Master also agrees to launch a search of the Federation and Mingdu?" Guan Yue said, but Chen Xinjie was stunned by what she said, "Then let me take charge of this matter, how about it?"

"I support it." Zang Xin said immediately, "Yue Tian is the deputy hall master of the War God Temple and a member of the parliament. It is most appropriate for him to be responsible for investigating the scum within the federation."

"I have no objection." Yun Ming said.

Chen Xinjie immediately understood that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were forcing him to take a stand. Either let Guan Yue take action, or let the two families take action on their own. He had no choice. If Guan Yue took action, he would abide by the rules. If Shrek Academy and Tang Sect took action, then they would really be out of control.

Even though Shrek Academy suffered heavy losses from two bombardments of soul-killing missiles, no one died, whether they should or shouldn't die! Their strength was still unfathomable, so it was impossible for Chen Xinjie to turn against them for a group of insignificant people.

"Okay, Guan Yue, when you return, you will be responsible for forming a review team and will be fully responsible for this matter." Chen Xinjie said.

"I understand." Guan Yue nodded.

"The last 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shell can no longer be kept by Mingdu." Yun Ming looked at Chen Xinjie with a stern look and said, "I am worried."

"Indeed." Zang Xin nodded immediately and said, "The third Soul-killing Missile must be handed over to us for safekeeping. Otherwise, if it is also stolen, who among us would dare to leave? This is also what Xue Yi meant!"

"That's right, the twelfth-level fixed-type soul guide shells can no longer stay in Mingdu." Qiangu Dongfeng rarely agreed with Yun Ming's idea and said with a serious face.

He was also afraid. If the third Soul-Killing Missile really fell on the Soul-Pagoda Headquarters, then the Soul-Pagoda Headquarters might not be as lucky as Shrek Academy. The Soul-Pagoda did not have the golden tree, and he did not have a divine position to dissolve. So he agreed with Yun Ming's words and wanted to hold the Soul-Killing Missile in his own hands.

"Why not ship it to Shrek City and have the three of us keep it together?" He said, and gave a suggestion that seemed very pertinent, but if you think about it carefully, you can see his true intention.

The core area of ​​Shrek Academy was destroyed and it is impossible to recover in a short time. The Tang Sect’s headquarters in Shrek City is just an empty shell. The real essence is in Tiandou City, which is naturally not suitable for safekeeping. Then the only place among the three suitable for keeping the Soul-killing Missiles is their Soul Transmission Tower. This suggestion is very smart.

However, since Yun Ming and Zang Xin came up with this idea, how could they not have a back-up plan?
"That's not good." Yun Ming rejected it directly. "How about sending this third Soul-killing Missile to the Blood God Mountain Range and letting the Blood God Camp keep it?"

Zang Xin immediately agreed, "I think it's okay. Xue Yi has been complaining to me that the pressure on the front line is getting greater and greater. Sending this last level 12 fixed-type soul guide shell over will not only ease the pressure on the front line, but also prevent what happened yesterday from happening again."

Qiangu Dongfeng's face froze, and he secretly hated her in his heart, but he could not refute it, because strengthening the defense of the Blood God Mountains was an impeccable reason, so he had to nod.

Seeing this, what else could Chen Xinjie say? The fact that the Soul-Killing Missile was stolen in Mingdu was an indisputable fact. It was normal for the three forces to have such thoughts in order to prevent similar disasters from happening again. Moreover, they did not think of holding it in their own hands and sending it to the front line, which made him very satisfied.

At least, there is no need to worry about Yun Ming causing trouble in Mingdu again, nor is there any need to worry about the Soul-killing missile exploding over Mingdu.

"In that case, please ask Palace Master Zang and the Master of the Eternal Tower to go back to Mingdu with me, and then go to the Blood God Mountains together." Chen Xinjie said.

"That's exactly what I meant." Zang Xin said with satisfaction.

"This..." Qiangu Dongfeng showed a hesitant expression, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the cenote below, the meaning was self-evident. "Qiangu Tower Master, you don't have to worry about Tianfeng, she must be fine." Yali said softly, her tone was very firm. She was talking about Tianfeng, but wasn't she also talking about Jing Shaoyu?
Since the aftermath of the explosion completely dissipated after five in the morning, she rushed into the center of the explosion to look for Jing Shaoyu's trace. She searched the tiankeng back and forth five or six times but did not find any trace. Yali was so anxious that her blood rushed to her heart. If Yun Ming had not calmly comforted her, she would probably not be able to stand here now.

What she said to Qiangu Dongfeng were the exact words that Yun Ming used to persuade her. Yun Ming also did not find Jing Shaoyu or Leng Yaozhu at the bottom of the tiankeng, but as a quasi-god, he clearly felt that there was a huge amount of energy contained at the bottom of the pit. Judging from the aura, it was very similar to the golden beam of light that rushed out during the explosion.

Considering that Jing Shaoyu was valued by the two gods, Yun Ming asserted that nothing would happen to Jing Shaoyu. It was not a problem for those favored by the gods to be resurrected from the dead, let alone an explosion?

Of course, speculation is speculation, the more important basis is that Yun Ming can sense the energy, but cannot lock its specific location. It seems to be at the bottom of the pit, but it seems to be in another space. Such ability, at least now the weak Yun Ming cannot do it.

"...Okay." Qiangu Dongfeng could only nod and agree helplessly.

Seeing that Qiangu Dongfeng also agreed, Chen Xinjie said, "Let's set off now without further delay."

"Okay!" Zang Xin and Qiangu Dongfeng said.

So, Chen Xinjie, Zang Xin, Qiangu Dongfeng and Guan Yue all flew towards Mingdu. Only Yun Ming, Yali and Long Yeyue were left above the tiankeng, and Long Yeyue's eyes were always looking towards the west.

“Sister Yue, let’s go to the Blood God Mountains together on behalf of the academy.” Yun Ming looked at Long Yeyue’s expression and said thoughtfully.

"There's no need for an old woman like me to go with Guan Yue." However, Long Yeyue shook her head and refused, "The academy is in need of people right now, how can I leave so easily?"

Yun Ming and Yali both showed surprised expressions and looked at Long Yeyue in disbelief.

Long Yeyue noticed the expressions of the two people, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "It seems that the image of an old woman in your hearts was indeed not very good in the past, hehe."

Neither Yali nor Yun Ming said anything, but their expressions said it all.

"Sister Yue, I'll leave this place to you first. Yali and I need to meditate and restore our soul power." Yun Ming restrained his expression and said solemnly.

"Just leave it to me, an old woman." Long Yeyue waved his hand, nodded and replied.

So Yun Ming and Yali flew directly to the bottom of the tiankeng and sat cross-legged on the water. The vitality of heaven and earth here was extremely rich, which was very suitable for practicing and restoring soul power. From last night until now, their soul power and physical strength had been in an overloaded state, so as soon as they relaxed, they entered into deep meditation, and the vitality containing negative factors at the bottom of the pit poured into their bodies.

As Extreme Douluo, the radiation from the twelfth-level fixed-type soul guide shells has no effect on them at all. On the contrary, for them, these radiations can stimulate them to better absorb the vitality of heaven and earth.

At the same time, outside the courtyard.

The damage in the outer courtyard was not great. Except for a circle of buildings near the inner courtyard that were destroyed, other areas were basically intact. After the teachers and students had calmed down, they were led by the elders and divided into two teams. One team went to the city to rescue the residents, and the other team stayed in the college to organize the temporary residence in the inner courtyard.

The students who had left earlier returned to Shrek City one after another and joined in the reconstruction work.

"Na'er, how are Xiaoyan and the others? Haven't they woken up yet?" Tang Yinmeng came to the place where the Shrek Seven Devils were recuperating. Looking at Na'er's haggard face, she always felt something strange, but she didn't care. She just thought that the changes were caused by Na'er being too sad, so she asked.

“No.” Na’er said in a low voice, “Godmother stabilized their injuries. They woke up once during the process, but after hearing that their brother was missing, they became anxious and fell into a coma again, until now.”

"Is that so?" Tang Yinmeng showed a relieved expression, patted Na'er's shoulder, and said, "Relax, didn't the Pavilion Master say that your brother will be fine. Your brother has harmed so many girls, how could he get into trouble? As the saying goes, harm will last for a thousand years, right?"

"Haha!" Na'er laughed dryly and said, "Big Sister, you are really good at talking."

"Oh!" Tang Yinmeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm going to get busy. If Xiaoyan and the others wake up, remember to notify me."

Tang Yinmeng left. Na'er raised her eyes and looked at the sky. Her purple eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. Tang Yinmeng's feeling was not wrong. Na'er, no, to be precise, she was Gu Yue. She had indeed changed.

Gu Yue looked back at the women in the room, then turned and walked towards the inner courtyard. When she came to an inconspicuous corner beside the tiankeng, she slowly raised her hand, and a heart as pure as emerald appeared from her palm. The green heart flickered with soft light, illuminating Gu Yue's cold face, which was very warm.

"Heart of Eternity..." She whispered softly, and her other hand gently waved in the air. Suddenly, a door of light flashing silver light appeared silently, and inside the door of light was a green and gold space.

The light of the Eternal Heart shines brighter and brighter.

Gu Yue stepped through the light gate and entered this mysterious space, and the light gate immediately closed.

The green-gold space was unusually warm, and the rich breath of life made Gu Yue look intoxicated. However, she did not forget the purpose of her visit. She waved her hand and walked slowly forward.

"Boom-"

The Heart of Eternity fell from Gu Yue's hands, and she was stunned.

The phoenix does not have gorgeous feathers, and lies cleanly on the paulownia tree. The phoenix nest and the paulownia branch are tightly connected like mortise and tenon joints, which looks very harmonious and peaceful.

"Haha!" Gu Yue chuckled with an ambiguous meaning, leaned over to pick up the Heart of Eternity, and looked at Jing Shaoyu with his jade arms around his neck, with a flash of anger and jealousy in his eyes, "Go, this is your good brother!"

The Heart of Eternity emitted a light of ambiguous meaning, flew out directly, passed through Leng Yaozhu, and merged into Jing Shaoyu's chest.

"Hmph!" Gu Yue snorted coldly, stomped his feet lightly, and then turned into a ray of silver light and disappeared from the mysterious space.

Time was still passing, the sun that rose in the east set in the west in a blink of an eye, and the puddle in the sinkhole formed a real lake, which sparkled in the moonlight. In the center of the lake, Yun Ming and Yali were still sitting on it.

until--

"Ha-"

The phoenix sings loudly.
