Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 313 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
At this time, Yuwen Tuo also returned to the Body Sect, completely unaware of what had happened on Xingluo's side.

Because all his attention is now focused on the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy.

Upon returning to the sect, he took Du Busi and Jin Peng, the two strongest Title Douluos, out again and asked Qiu'er for help.

The other titles require guarding the sect, but bringing Qiu'er is equivalent to bringing the Crimson King.

Yuwentuo's spiritual sea has recovered considerably, and summoning the Ice Emperor is no longer a problem. The Snow Emperor will probably take another two or three months, so it's safer to bring more powerful individuals along.

His travel-worn appearance left everyone bewildered, wondering what he was up to.

Xiao Xiao actually wanted to go too, but Yuwen Tuo refused this time. Firstly, the battlefield was extremely dangerous, and it was better for her, a mere Soul Emperor, not to get involved.

Furthermore, since she had no grudge against Shrek Academy, Yuwen Tuo did not want her to be involved in hatred.

The group arrived at Maple Leaf City, a major city in the border region, located at the border between the western frontier of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. Maple Leaf City itself is an important supply city for the western frontier army of the Heavenly Soul Empire, as well as an important trading city on the border.

The place where Shrek Academy and the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire exchanged students was Maple Leaf Square in this city.

If they want to switch back, this is the place, of course.

Yuwentuo only knew that Huo Yuhao's exchange period was about two and a half years, but he didn't know the exact date. So he decided to wait here two months in advance, and he didn't believe he could miss it.

It was a pity that he didn't get to see Long Xiaoyao in the Sun Moon Empire before, but this time, following the plot, he should be able to see him.

This is called "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

It just so happens that Du Busi also wanted to avenge the three-on-one attack he suffered that day. If it weren't for Di Tian's help, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed. He heard from Yuwen Tuo that he saw Long Xiaoyao appear in the River of Time and that he could ambush him here. Being someone who always seeks revenge, he agreed to come without Yuwen Tuo's request.

Inside a five-star luxury hotel, Du Bu Si opened the window, which faced Maple Leaf Square. He seemed a little impatient.

"Tuo'er, you haven't got the time wrong, have you? I've been waiting for two months already, why haven't the Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire people arrived yet?" Poisonous Undying said dejectedly.

He was already itching to take it all down. He had defeated Dragon God Douluo before, and if he could take down Dragon Emperor Douluo this time, that would be amazing.

The thought of both the Black and White Holy Dragons dying at his hands filled him with immense pleasure.

Yuwen Tuo sat at the dining table, carefully picking out the fish bones, and put the fish meat that even a child could eat into Qiu'er's bowl. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sect Master. I reckon it'll be in the next day or two."

"Qiu'er, I added a little honey to the fish today. How does it taste?"

Qiu'er picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and her eyes lit up. "Delicious! The sweetness is just right, and it seems to have a slightly fragrant taste in it."

"I'm glad you like it, but I think you've been eating too much oily food lately. How about I make you something steamed tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Qiu'er nodded coolly. Anyway, she liked whatever Tuo made, given his cooking skills.

"At such a young age, you're not learning anything good!" Poisonous Undying shook his head in exasperation. What's the point of spending your prime years not cultivating but just lounging around all day?

"Sect Master, look!" Just then, Jin Peng suddenly pointed at the square and shouted, "They're here! They're from Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire." Du Busi immediately looked down excitedly, and sure enough, two familiar groups of people were gathered together.

One side was led by Yan Shaozhe, and the other side was led by Jing Hongchen.

Both sides exchanged their students: the Hongchen siblings from Sun Moon Academy, and Huo Yuhao and He Caitou from Shrek Academy.

Before leaving, Jing Hongchen gave Huo Yuhao something and whispered something in his ear.

Yuwen Tuo knew that it was a star sapphire ring, and that it was filled with treasures.

Jing Hongchen used this as a bargaining chip to obtain some of Huo Yuhao's ingenious creations that combined Tang Sect hidden weapons with soul tools, but he could not allow Huo Yuhao to actually bring so many treasures back to Shrek Academy.

He didn't even intend to let Huo Yuhao return to Shrek Academy. With his considerable talent and the profound knowledge of soul tools he had learned from their Mingde Hall, wouldn't letting him go back to strengthen Shrek Academy be tantamount to aiding the enemy?

Therefore, he had secretly contacted evil spirit masters to help him, and they ambushed and killed Huo Yuhao halfway.

Huo Yuhao had actually anticipated this, so he suggested that he, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er leave alone instead of going with the main group, so as not to implicate others.

"They're leaving, follow them immediately!" Poison Undying said.

Yuwen Tuo said calmly, "Sect Master, there's no need to be in such a hurry. In order to distance themselves from the vanguard, they won't fly at first, but will leave on foot. We can wait half an hour before setting off. Come, Qiu'er, try this again!"

Watching Yuwen Tuo calmly feeding his little sister, Du Busi couldn't understand whether he was the elder or Yuwen Tuo was the elder.
Why is it that every time I act with Yuwentuo, I always feel like Yuwentuo is the mastermind behind everything, while this old man is more like a passionate young man?
Helpless, the group had no choice but to wait another half an hour.

Only after Qiu'er and Chi Wang had completely devoured the food on the table, and adhering to the "Clean Plate Campaign" to avoid wasting food, did Yuwen Tuo stand up. "That's about enough. Let's go after them. I reckon they'll be fighting soon by now."

"Let's go!" Poison Undying couldn't wait any longer. The five of them transformed into five shooting stars and quickly flew out of Maple Forest City.

Just as Yuwentuo predicted.

At this very moment, Shrek Academy is confronting a suddenly appearing evil spirit master.

"Yan Shaozhe, do you still remember me?" In the sky, a black cloud gradually condensed and took shape, transforming into a huge tiger's head. A deep voice, like rolling thunder, resounded from within the cloud.

Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes slightly. "You are Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo? You're still alive. What, you've appeared before me today to make me take you in?"

"Yan Shaozhe, you are truly arrogant. Today I want to see who is the one who takes over!" Zhang Peng roared, his Scorpion Tiger Martial Soul fully revealed, a large black tiger with a scorpion's sharp stinger on its tail.

This is the Scorpion Tiger, one of the top-tier beast martial souls. It possesses both the ferocity and power of the tiger martial soul and the unpredictability of the scorpion martial soul.

"Hmph, enough nonsense, come on if you want to fight!" Xian Lin'er's temper was much more volatile than Yan Shaozhe's.

Without saying much, he revealed nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—and, clad in a set of cyan armor and wielding a long spear, charged towards Zhang Peng.

"You're Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er? How come you're hanging out with that hypocrite Yan Shaozhe?" Scorpion Tiger Douluo asked in surprise, his words clearly showing his disdain for Yan Shaozhe.
