Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

In the end, Mo Yan took out the red pill and placed it on the table in front of Ma Xiaotao. "This pill can help you break the curse of the Evil Fire Phoenix and enter the realm of ultimate fire."

"However, the process will be very painful. Do you need me to protect you now?"

"Or do you want to take the breakthrough pill after you go back?"

Just as Ma Xiaotao was about to say that she would go back and take it, Mu En's voice suddenly rang in her ear: "Xiaotao, take it here."

"Mo Yan possesses extreme fire power; he can help you with this."

Upon hearing her master's words, Ma Xiaotao immediately replied obediently, "Then I'll leave it to Boss Mo Yan."

In fact, from the moment Mo Yan took out the pills, Ma Xiaotao completely accepted the man in front of her as her boss.

It is a genuine following, not forced submission.

"Let's begin." Mo Yan nodded, indicating that Ma Xiaotao could take the pill and start absorbing it.

Ma Xiaotao immediately put the fiery red pill into her mouth and quickly entered a refining state.

Upon seeing this, Mu En outside immediately released a barrier, then turned around and left with the unconscious Yan Shaozhe.

As for whether there are any concerns about unexpected events?

In his view, although Mo Yan had a bad temper, he was always reliable when it came to matters concerning the safety of others and would not cause any trouble.

Mo Yan noticed that Mu En had left with the unconscious Yan Shaozhe, but didn't take it to heart.

She had no intention of deliberately hiding her abilities today, and displayed them openly and generously throughout.

She just hadn't expected that Yan Shaozhe, who was eavesdropping, would actually faint from anger at his own disciple. His ability to handle such a situation was far too weak.

Dugu Luo sat quietly to observe, quite interested in what changes would occur after Ma Xiaotao took the pill.

Meanwhile, in the border city of the Star Luo Empire...

Black and White Feather arrived quickly. As soon as they entered the city, several malicious eyes were fixed on them.

"Hey bro, a few guys are watching us." Bai Yu said cheerfully, completely ignoring the eyes of those spying on him and his sister from the shadows.

Upon hearing this, Hei casually glanced around and said indifferently, "Let's go. There's no need to waste time on these nobodies."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu withdrew his itching hand with some regret and quickly followed Hei's steps.

But the two hadn't gone far when those who had been watching them suddenly vanished without a trace, as if wiped out by some terrifying force, and no one noticed anything amiss.

In the city lord's palace...

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger was staring grimly at Bai Li's corpse.

He never expected that he would die in the city lord's mansion so soon after sending a message to this subordinate, and that the news would quickly reach the ears of Emperor Xu Jiawei.

That "good brother" seemed to know something, and directly sent a message to him to investigate the matter, while also intimidating the Sun Moon Empire.

That's what the letter said, but the underlying meaning was more like a warning to him.

"Could it be that Bai Li's death is related to this good brother, the emperor?" Dai Hao couldn't help but cast a suspicious glance at Emperor Xu Jiawei.

Just then, a subordinate came in to report, interrupting his thoughts: "General."

"What is it?" Dai Hao asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Two young men broke into the city."

"Huh?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Dai Hao's eyes as he questioned, "Didn't I emphasize that the city is under lockdown? Why are you letting people in?"

"General, all the soldiers responsible for guarding the city have been knocked to the ground," the subordinate hurriedly explained. Dai Hao fell silent.

He remembered that the person in charge of sealing the city was one of his most trusted subordinates. The other party not only had the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, but also brought more than a dozen Soul Venerables, Soul Sect Masters, and several Soul Kings with him—such a lineup, yet they were all defeated?

"They've all collapsed?" he asked again to confirm.

"Yes!"

"Is the other party a demonic spirit master?"

"No, judging from their clothes, they seem to be students from the academy."

"And judging from their style of doing things, they're most likely from Shrek Academy," the subordinate guessed.

In his view, Shrek Academy students were not only powerful, but also unconventional in their actions, so it was natural for him to be suspicious.

"Take me there," Dai Hao said in a deep voice, but his heart was filled with joy.

Isn't this just finding a scapegoat and a substitute?
The team that Shrek Academy formed was specifically designed to handle these kinds of things.

Once the matter of the Grim Reaper is revealed, everything will be easy to handle.

He released the Grim Reaper in the first place so that his "big brother" would send more men to annihilate the evil spirit masters, giving him the opportunity to bewitch more people.

Unexpectedly, he was now being reprimanded. Since that was the case, he would take the opportunity to dump all the trouble on these two students who were suspected to be from Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, Hei and Baiyu casually found an inn to sit down, rest, drink tea, and inquire about some news.

"Boss lady, has something happened in the city recently? Why are there so many soldiers on the streets?" Bai Yu asked.

The proprietress, who was serving tea and water to the two, looked at the brother and sister with some surprise after hearing this: "How did you two get in? I remember the city was sealed off by General White Tiger a long time ago."

“We naturally have ways to get in,” Hei said, taking out a few gold soul coins from his pocket and placing them on the table. “We hope the proprietress can tell us the truth.”

The proprietress's eyes flashed with greed when she saw the gold soul coins on the table, and she quickly put them away.

As for how the brother and sister got into the city, she didn't bother to ask. Instead, she started telling them about the strange things that had happened at an inn a few days ago, as well as the news of the city lord Bai Li's death.

After listening, Hei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss lady, was this done by the evil soul master, the Grim Reaper?"

"I don't know about that, the authorities haven't given any information yet. But in my opinion, it's most likely the work of an evil spirit master." The proprietress said, getting up to say, "I'll go get you two some more tea."

Watching the proprietress's departing figure, Bai Yu finally spoke up, "Brother, I think this might have been done by that new colleague."

"How are you sure?" Hei turned his head and looked curiously at Bai Yu beside him.

“I just glanced at the inn the landlady mentioned, and there’s a power inside that’s even more evil than I am.”

"In this world, the only beings more evil than me, besides the one who created us, are the new colleague that Jin Tianming mentioned."

Bai Yu shared his guess.

After hearing this, Hei couldn't help but nod in agreement: "That new colleague is indeed a bit eccentric. Not only did he block his own memory sharing, but he also severed the connection between himself and all his clones except for his main body."

"So we can start by guessing what might happen to him."

“But now…” Black’s gaze fell on the inn’s door, “a Hakimi has come knocking on our door.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu pursed his lips, his face still showing no sign of concern.

What she cares about most now is whether or not the new colleague did it.
