Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 192 Give Jin Yong a Chicken Leg, Shocking Revelation Destroys Tang San's Faith!

"They've stopped them!"

"We are saved!"

Within Shrek City, tens of millions of civilians witnessed the deep purple vortex being completely shattered by the immense power of the four Limit Douluos, turning into a shower of tiny specks of light before vanishing without a trace.

When the sky returned to its desolate, dark blue, Shrek City erupted in unparalleled cheers. The joy of surviving a catastrophe brought tears to the eyes of countless people.

The federal governor of Shrek City couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking at the four big shots in the sky, he wished he could kneel down and kowtow to them a few times.

If Shrek City were to fall, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, his political career would be over. Oh no, if the cannonballs weren't intercepted, his life would probably be over too.

Everyone has their own responsibilities, and after the crisis was over, the Chief Executive quickly issued a number of directives.

The well-preserved mech division and the security officers of the guard bureau were all mobilized to maintain order in the city and prevent any thieves from taking advantage of the chaos.

call out.

A fiery aura, accompanied by a rich and alluring fragrance, wafted towards you.

Is there anything unusual about your body?

Leng Yaozhu's wine-red eyes revealed worry as she anxiously questioned Nan Liujing.

The Ghost Emperor is no pushover; he's a top-tier quasi-god who has been famous for many years.

"I'm fine." Nan Liujing's thoughts settled, and his battle armor quickly returned to his body. He smiled and reported his safety to Leng Yaozhu.

Before Leng Yaozhu could say anything, a large hand landed on Nan Liujing's shoulder; it was none other than Qian Gu Die Ting.

A wisp of soul power swirled around, and Nan Liujing remained silent for half a second before choosing to release the defenses within his body.

After Qian Gu Die Ting's soul power had been used for a normal inspection, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement and said, "To be able to withstand the attack of a quasi-god, your strength is truly unfathomable."

"You flatter me, Your Majesty. I was only able to withstand it with the help of the Golden Ancient Tree," Nan Liujing said sincerely.

Nan Liujing wasn't being modest at all. Without the help of the Golden Ancient Tree's energy, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't have been able to withstand an attack from a quasi-god. The Thunderous Hell Vine was indeed strong, but its master's strength still somewhat limited its performance.

"It's good that you're alright." Qian Gu Die Ting was increasingly satisfied as he looked at Nan Liu Jing.

"With Yun Ming dead, the landscape of the continent is likely to undergo a dramatic change," Qian Gu Qing Feng said in a deep voice from the side.

Nan Liujing said solemnly, "Great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, teacher, before the Ghost Emperor made his move, he said that if His Majesty Qingtian did not die, their Holy Spirit Cult's great cause would be difficult to achieve. There must be some extraordinary plan involved. Please inform the Federation Central Committee to be vigilant. Pay special attention to possible terrorist attacks in major cities."

The Holy Spirit Cult obtained very few souls from Shrek City this time, so they will definitely make up for it from other places. If that happens, all cities within the Federation will face potential risks.

"I know that much." Qian Gu Die Ting glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Spirit Tower with an inscrutable expression, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.

"I humbly request Senior Zhan Tian's assistance."

Suddenly, a voice transmission came from above, drawing everyone's attention.

“It’s Ya Li.” Leng Yao’s eyebrows furrowed.

Qian Gu Die Ting regained his usual composure: "Let's go take a look."

The old man rode off first, followed by the eternal breeze.

Leng Yaozhu said with a complicated expression, "Even the teacher can't quite see through you anymore."

First, she was brought back to her divine position, and then she received sudden support from the Golden Ancient Tree. Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but feel panicked. Although they had lived together for many years, she felt as if she had never truly understood this disciple.

Or perhaps, she realized that the boy she once needed to protect had grown into a strong and independent man, which might mean that one day in the future, he would no longer need her protection.

Nan Liujing knew that his teacher suffered from some kind of emotional trauma syndrome because of Leng Yulai's departure, so he boldly opened his arms and pulled Leng Yaozhu into his embrace.

Leng Yaozhu's delicate body trembled, her high breasts heaving with her rapid heartbeat.

Nan Liujing was already taller than her, with a strong and upright figure. When he hugged her, it made her, the world-renowned Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, appear somewhat like a little girl.

Nan Liujing said solemnly, "It's not that you can't see through me, but that the fledgling is too eager to grow up quickly, to protect you with its broad wings, and then to announce in front of everyone that a real man has come to the side of Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu."

Leng Yaozhu's wine-red eyes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously looked up.

Nan Liujing's gaze was fixed on that exquisite and beautiful face. He resisted the urge to bite her and instead chuckled, "Teacher, let's go and take a look at Shrek Academy's inner courtyard too."

"That's right~"

Leng Yaozhu seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly breaking free from Nan Liujing's strong embrace, regaining her usual noble and dignified demeanor, and flew towards the inner courtyard with her back to him, saying, "Hurry up and follow me."

Unseen by Nan Liujing, Leng Yaozhu gently stroked her high, full breasts, feeling her heart pounding, a barely perceptible tenderness appearing on her pretty face.

Nan Liujing's words revealed a crucial signal.

Once he has enough power, he will publicly reveal his identity as a traitorous disciple.

As it turns out, speaking frankly and openly can quickly resolve the fears of a woman who is gripped by panic.

Upon arriving at Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, the situation was far more serious than anticipated.

On the pitch-black grass, where its original appearance was almost unrecognizable, lay a large group of Shrek Academy elders. Their bodies were covered in an extremely strange, sticky, dark light that was frantically eroding them every moment.

The nine-ring cultivation level granted them powerful physiques, but it also doubled the intensity of the pain, making it even more severe.

Yali didn't even have time to care about her lover's body lying at the bottom of the Sea God Lake. She was busy but powerless releasing the power of the angelic spirit, the angelic power that could usually produce miraculous effects, but now it had lost its power.

The wails of the elders rose and fell, never ceasing.

A few Shrek disciples who had hidden in the underground space stood helplessly to the side, including Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng, Wu Changkong, and Shen Yi.

"Senior, what exactly is this dark light?" Ya Li's pretty face was full of confusion and paleness, and her voice was hoarse.

Qian Gu Die Ting attempted to extract a sliver of viscous dark light from one of the elders, but the moment he made contact, a chilling, malevolent aura, as if from an abyss, suddenly tried to cling to him.

An alarm bell rang in his mind.

"Humph."

He snorted coldly, and an overwhelming will to crush everything erupted, forcing the dark light to retreat and no longer daring to attach itself.

Qian Gu Die Ting said in a deep voice, "What an evil thing. It seems to have a strange power of Yin water. But even if it is Yin water, it should be so troublesome. With your ability as a prayer angel, you should be able to completely get rid of it."

"let me try."

Leng Yaozhu, who arrived later, interrupted.

"Please." A glimmer of light appeared in Yali's somewhat listless eyes.

Leng Yaozhu is a fire-attribute Limit Douluo, and her Heavenly Phoenix True Flame is hailed as the strongest flame on the continent.

Leng Yaozhu nodded solemnly, knowing that Ya Li had long since given up hope. If Shrek Academy hadn't needed someone to lead it, she might very well have committed suicide. "Empty—"

With a flick of her slender, pale fingertips, Leng Yaozhu unleashed a burst of crimson-gold flame that struck one of the elders with pinpoint accuracy.

The moment the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire came into contact with the viscous dark light, it blazed fiercely, and a clear phoenix cry faintly echoed in the air.

The flames swirled and rippled, attempting to completely purify the filthy power. However, less than ten seconds later, Leng Yaozhu withdrew the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire with a solemn expression, leaving it dancing on her fingertips like a flame.

Under the almost desperate gazes of the remaining Shrek members, she shook her head and said in a deep voice:

“This Yin Water power is truly bizarre and extraordinary. Yin Water itself is not a concern, but another obscure and inexplicable energy perfectly withstood the burns of the true fire… No, that’s not right,” Leng Yaozhu pondered, sensing a certain fluctuation that was faintly visible in the flames, and seemed to have a feeling, “Rather than some kind of extremely evil energy, it is more like a will that is similar to a curse. And the owner of this will is no weaker than a quasi-god in terms of cultivation. To erase it, I’m afraid only a quasi-god level of purification power can do it.”

“Quasi-god…” Ya Li’s steps faltered and she almost fell down. Shen Yi and Tang Yinmeng, the two core disciples of the inner court, quickly stepped forward to support her.

"We can ask Mr. Jin for help."

At the crucial moment, it was Lan Muzi, the top disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court, who played a key role.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

Oh right, how could we forget the Golden Tree?

"Om~"

Before Yali could ask a question, a soft, golden light gathered and coalesced into the figure of Elder Jin.

"Junior Ya Li greets Elder Jin. I beg Elder Jin to lend a helping hand." Ya Li released the two women's support and knelt down without hesitation, her words extremely earnest.

If Yun Ming dies, and all the elders also die, Shrek Academy will have virtually no chance of revival and will inevitably degenerate into a top-tier but not outstanding force.

"Please help me, Mr. Jin."

Led by Lan Muzi, the remaining less than thirty Shrek Academy students all knelt down.

Since the outer academy has been separated, most of the disciples in Shrek's inner academy now come from families of different elders, and they don't want their ancestors to die like this.

Qian Gu Die Ting narrowed his eyes; it was the first time he had ever seen the human form of the Golden Ancient Tree.

With his cultivation level, he couldn't see through the other party at all; truly worthy of being a legendary being comparable to a god. Even ordinary geniuses, nourished by the life energy of the Golden Ancient Tree, can achieve cultivation speeds comparable to the top tier of geniuses. Shrek Academy is guaranteed to produce demigods in every generation; the Golden Ancient Tree likely plays a crucial role in this.

"If these people are not saved within three days, their cultivation will be completely destroyed, and they will fall to a level that is not even as good as a Soul Saint. Of course, it is not a problem to save their lives."

Old Jin stroked his beard and spoke calmly.

These words struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in the ears of the Shrek students.

These twenty-odd elders are all ninth-ring level experts, and some of them are even Super Douluo level cultivators. If their cultivation were all destroyed, the scene would be unimaginable.

“Please…” Yali hurriedly tried to ask for help again.

Old Jin suddenly became indifferent: "If these people weren't from Shrek Academy, I would help them. But they are part of Shrek Academy. How can I help them?"

These words stunned everyone.

The guardian deity of Shrek Academy actually said he wouldn't help the people of Shrek Academy?

Standing beside Leng Yaozhu, Nan Liujing suddenly heard a voice transmission in his mind: "Young friend, you suppressed the Blue Silver Emperor, and I owe you a favor. I will repay you with the end of Shrek Academy and control of this group of people, how about it?"

A ripple quietly appeared in Nan Liujing's pupils.

Old Jin smiled inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Do you know why I say that?"

Ya Li looked bewildered: "I don't know, please enlighten me, Mr. Jin."

Old Jin snorted coldly: "That's right, I was indeed moved here by Tang San, but that scoundrel Tang San actually secretly hid a wisp of his mother's divine soul within my body. For ten thousand years, with the help of the Sea God's power, this wisp of divine soul has been continuously devouring my life essence to strengthen itself, and it has also imprisoned my freedom. Do you know that I am the life core of this planet, and my life essence comes entirely from this planet itself? Once it is greatly damaged, external enemies can completely ignore the planet's own restrictions and directly break in."

"You know the extent of the damage that the Abyss Plane caused to this planet thousands of years ago. But if I hadn't been trapped, how could the mere Abyss have broken free of its confinement and forced its way in?"

"Do you know that I prayed countless times back then, but the Blue Silver Emperor completely ignored me, single-mindedly absorbing the life essence, driven by his greed to become a first-level god in the God Realm? In the end, he used the lives of you human powerhouses and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fill the gap left by the broken seal. Since then, I have resigned myself to my fate. Until today, when that cannonball came down, the Blue Silver Emperor was worried about the destruction of my body, so he released a trace of the sealing power. I seized the opportunity to protect this city and, incidentally, suppressed the Blue Silver Emperor in reverse. Now I have gained freedom, but I have lost a great deal of my life essence, not even one or two tenths of what it was at its peak."

"In your eyes, Tang San is a lofty god and a great and illustrious ancestor, but to me, he is an enemy."

As the words "enemy" were uttered with almost gritted teeth, the entire area around Poseidon Lake fell into utter silence.

Yali and the students all stared wide-eyed, their pupils trembling, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

The father and son, Leng Yaozhu, and Zang Xin from the Tang Clan, who were watching from the sidelines, were also stunned.

Who would have thought that the Golden Tree would have this story?

"Elder Jin, could there be some misunderstanding?" Zang Xin couldn't believe that Tang San, the ancestor worshipped by the Tang Clan for ten thousand years, was the same person Elder Jin described.

"Heh." Elder Jin glanced at Zang Xin. "You're the person in charge of the sect that Tang San inherited, aren't you?"

Zang Xin sensed something was wrong: "Yes, senior."

Elder Jin said indifferently, "For ten thousand years, many people from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect have chosen to store their souls in the Golden Ancient Tree when they pass away, attempting to use the power of the ancient tree to maintain their souls for a hundred years so that they can lend a helping hand when Shrek Academy encounters a crisis. You think that after storing your soul in the Golden Ancient Tree, the end result is that you become its nourishment, and in the end, you nourish the ancient tree to repay it for a hundred years of maintenance. But the truth is that the Golden Ancient Tree is the core of life, representing goodness and justice. The souls that reside there will eventually dissipate into the world after a hundred years and enter the cycle of reincarnation, rather than becoming nourishment for the Golden Ancient Tree and losing the opportunity for reincarnation."

“These souls were supposed to be reincarnated, but they all disappeared completely in the end because they were all devoured by the Blue Silver Emperor, including Bei Yang and Cen Zhiyuan.”

"what?"

Ya Li and Zang Xin exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Bei Yang is Yun Ming's mentor and the former head of the Sea God Pavilion.

Cen Zhiyuan was the former leader of the Tang Clan.

"You didn't expect that, did you?" Old Jin said coldly, "The great and righteous Tang San that you all thought he was actually committed countless evil deeds in secret so that his mother could devour and seize the life core of Douluo Star."

"I'll say it again: you want me to save people? Fine, but these people absolutely cannot be from Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect!"

Mr. Jin's words were sharp and left no room for compromise.

Yali's eyes turned completely dark, and the other Shrek Academy students stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

As for Zang Xin, his faith was shaken, and he seemed to have lost his soul, with no other emotion showing on his face except for a blank expression.

Having witnessed a truly spectacular show, the father and son have certainly had their fill of gossip.

Leng Yaozhu's expression was extremely strange. Yun Ming had publicly praised Tang San's greatness many times, but it turned out that he himself was the clown.

Nan Liujing's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected Jin Lao to make such a big revelation.

It's important to understand that Jin Yong saved tens of millions of civilians in Shrek City. He was a veritable benevolent tree, and his words were practically irrefutable. This move was a devastating blow to Shrek's already crumbling influence after Yun Ming's death, and it also dealt a final blow to the Tang Sect.

Zang Xin, the true head of the Tang Clan, must have had his brain completely muddled.
