Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 119: The ticket isn't expensive; it's just three 119-year-old soul bones.

Seeing that Elder Kong was so angry that he even seemed about to take action, Xiao Qiang quickly interrupted his thoughts.

Given Kong Lao's current strength, it's hard to say who would win if he really fought the dying Mu Lao. However, one thing is certain: even if Xue Di doesn't intervene, given Mu En's physical condition, he would definitely not be able to return to Shrek alive if he fought Kong Lao.

With Xue Di's protection, and the attention from Jing Hongchen and Elder Kong, Xiao Qiang was not worried about anything happening to him.

The problem is that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, which is similar to a military exercise. With Mu En, who represents the pinnacle of Soul Masters from the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, dying again, and the current emperor not being as extreme as Xu Tianran, the Sun Moon Empire has the advantage in both the younger and older generations. Even if the current emperor is a stable monarch, a war across the continent will likely begin in the next year or two when the country has such an overall advantage.

The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, who plotted to usurp the throne, desired the title of a great emperor for all time even more than Xu Tianran, only he lacked the courage to take such a gamble.

Therefore, Mu En cannot die yet, at least not at the hands of the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

Otherwise, a war across the entire continent would definitely begin within the next year or two, which would not be good news for Xiao Qiang.

Although Xiao Qiang's current talent prevents him from being pushed to the front lines as cannon fodder, he does not want to see a chaotic situation of war breaking out across the entire continent.

Under these circumstances, it's naturally impossible to let Moon and Kong Deming actually fight.

"Oh? You want me to pay for admission? What a joke! I've been to the emperor's harem of the Star Luo Empire, and I've also injured a nobleman of the Heavenly Soul Empire in his mansion. I even slapped Zhongli Wu in the Holy Spirit Cult. I've been wherever I go and whatever I do all these years. When have I ever paid for admission? You, a junior, just open your mouth and expect me to pay for admission. How laughable."

Just as Master Kong was about to make a move, Xiao Qiang's words interrupted him, and at the same time, Mu En calmed down after hearing Xiao Qiang's voice.

With Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen both present, Mu En knew that taking action now would not benefit him. However, this did not mean that Mu En was backing down. If they asked him, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, to give them a ticket, Mu En could only say that he had never given anyone a ticket in his life.

"It's fine if you don't want to give it to me, but Senior Dragon God, you don't want to die here like this, do you?"

Jing Hongchen broke out in a cold sweat at Xiao Qiang's sudden words. This situation seemed to be one they shouldn't be involved in. How could his disciple remain so composed in the face of such a situation? Wasn't he being a bit too fearless, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger?

"Do you think you can keep this old man here?"

"It's probably impossible to keep you here, but Your Majesty the Dragon God, your body doesn't seem to need us to keep you here. As long as you and your master fight seriously, no matter the outcome, with your current injuries, you probably won't be able to return to Shrek Academy."

"Once you've paid the ticket, you're a guest. You can safely return to Shrek Academy. If you insist on forcing your way in, my Mingde Hall does have a few methods to restrain you. With your current cultivation level, you should be able to sense the danger you'll face if you insist on fighting."

As Mu En pondered whether he could use Xiao Qiang's life to blackmail Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, a feeling of certain death suddenly invaded every pore of Mu En's body.

Although Moon's expression did not change, he was terrified deep down. This was the first time he had ever felt such a sense of certain death, and this feeling could not lie to him. He knew that he would die as soon as he made a move.

Mu En wasn't particularly afraid of death, but he hadn't expected this situation to arise this time. There were many things he hadn't arranged yet. Without him, Shrek Academy would be missing its pillar of strength, not to mention the consequences. If he died, the Sun Moon Empire's confidence would surely soar. With the war starting without any prior arrangements, Mu En could already foresee the fate of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Although he didn't care much about the original situation of Douluo Three Kingdoms, he had to care about Shrek Academy, as he still had to go to the Golden Tree in the future to see the former Pavilion Masters.

Looking at the silent Mu En, Xiao Qiang continued, "It seems you should be aware of the current technology of my Sun Moon Empire. If these technologies were to clash head-on, they might not be able to kill you on the spot, but with your injuries, you cannot return to Shrek Academy alive. And what will happen to Shrek Academy without you, you should know better than I do."

"Boy, aren't you afraid I'll take you with me before I die? Do you really think those two can protect you?"

"It would be best if you could protect me, but if you can't... Senior Dragon God, you should know that our Sun Moon Empire might slaughter the entire Shrek Academy to vent our anger, right?"

"You dare!" Mu En glared at Xiao Qiang, but the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield blocked all his pressure, so Xiao Qiang did not feel any actual harm.

"Senior Dragon God, with my grandmaster and master here, you can't hurt me at all. In the end, Mingde Hall will be destroyed by you, but the reconstruction time will definitely not be too long."

"You only have two choices: pay the entrance fee and leave safely, or if you insist on fighting or leaving immediately, guess how many level-nine Soul Masters will jump out from here?"

"Mingde Hall is very precious. It contains a large amount of rare metals and a large number of scarce high-level soul tools. These would be worth astronomical sums outside. However, compared to the life of a Sea God Pavilion Master, Mingde Hall is insignificant."

"Hmph, if I wanted to leave, do you really think you could stop me?"

"Perhaps you can't stay, but your injuries will allow you to stay. As I said before, you know your injuries better than I do. And the wealth of Mingde Hall can be exchanged for a Limit Douluo, a Limit Douluo who represents the highest combat power of Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy. This will be a great achievement even if it is reported to His Majesty the Emperor in the future."

"After all, if you die here, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent."

Mu En stared at Xiao Qiang, and Xiao Qiang also stared back at Mu En with a calm gaze. After a long while, Mu En sighed.

"Tell me, how much is the ticket?"

Xiao Qiang held up three fingers. "Three 100,000-year-old soul bones."

"Three 100,000-year-old soul bones? Why don't you just steal them!"

"Huh? I'm already asking for three 100,000-year-old soul bones, isn't this just robbery?"

Moon: "..."

Kong Deming: "..."

Jing Hongchen: "..."
