Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 338 Take Action! (Two Chapters Combined)

After the minor incident with Brigitte, which turned out to be a close call, Su Mo continued to stroll around the streets with Ya Li and the others.

As Su Mo walked, the soul communication device in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

"The Tang Clan has already begun operations and is contacting their online army!"

On the message interface, an account with a blank profile picture and ID sent Su Mo this message.

Just as Su Mo was pondering Shrek Alliance's next move, Ya Li suddenly turned to look at him and said softly, "Su Mo, how about we go for a stroll outside the city?"

Although shopping with Su Mo was nice, the constant stares from those around us were a bit annoying.

"sure!"

When Su Mo heard that Ya Li was going to the outskirts of Shrek City, he quickly nodded.

He was afraid that the Tang Clan would hesitate to attack him because he was staying in Shrek City.

After all, public opinion is very important for arms dealers like the Tang Clan.

If the Tang Clan dares to disregard federal law and stage a public arrest in broad daylight...

The federal government and the Spirit Pagoda would certainly not mind adding fuel to the fire and letting the Tang Sect understand the power of public opinion.

So when Ya Li suggested going to the outskirts of Shrek City, Su Mo was naturally more than willing.

Seeing that Su Mo agreed, Ya Li didn't waste any words. She immediately used her soul power to envelop Su Mo and the others, and then transformed into a green stream of light and flew towards the outside of Shrek City.

The pedestrians on the street seemed completely unfazed by Yali's behavior.

Leng Yaozhu, who was processing documents at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, stopped what she was doing when she saw a green shooting star suddenly flash across the sky. Curious, she went to the French windows.

As Ya Li's mortal enemy, Leng Yaozhu recognized the identity of the green figure at a glance.

What Leng Yaozhu couldn't understand was why Yali was being so flamboyant today.

Mingming Yali used to try to keep a low profile when she went out.

Filled with curiosity, Leng Yaozhu released her mental energy.

Soon, Leng Yaozhu's expression stiffened, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

Su Mo, who is both her brother-in-law and her apprentice, has not greeted her even once since arriving in Shrek City.

Now he's even hanging out with Yali, that wicked woman he doesn't get along with.

Leng Yaozhu absolutely could not accept this.

Leng Yaozhu originally wanted to follow and take Su Mo away, but when she thought of the humiliation she suffered at Ya Li's hands, she decisively gave up the idea.

Everyone says that Ya-li is the embodiment of gentleness, virtue, justice, and kindness.

But only she knew that Yali was an absolute schemer.

However, Ya-li's image in everyone's mind was so good that not only did no one believe her, but they also suspected that she was jealous of Ya-li and was deliberately slandering her.

After thinking for a moment, Leng Yaozhu decided to secretly follow her to see what Yali was up to!

Led by Ya Li, Su Mo and his group arrived outside Shrek City in the blink of an eye.

As soon as it landed, a fresh breeze carrying the natural fragrance of earth and grass rushed towards you, making you feel refreshed and relaxed.

Looking out, towering ancient trees rise from the ground like giant pillars supporting the sky. Their thick trunks are covered with the marks left by time, and vines meander down the tree trunks, swaying gently in the breeze.

Sunlight filters through the layers of tree canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

-

In the distance, the forest undulates like endless green waves, and occasionally the low cries of unknown spirit beasts and the clear calls of birds can be heard echoing through the forest, making the whole forest seem deep and vibrant.

"Sister Ya-li, where is this?"

Looking at the lush, primeval, and vast forest before her, Xu Xiaoyan blushed and looked at Ya Li.

The thrill of flying rapidly high in the sky just now still makes Xu Xiaoyan's heart pound wildly.

"This is Ming Lake!"

"After the Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent, a large number of its people flocked to Shrek City."

"Later, because these people missed their homeland, they specially dug this Ming Lake outside Shrek City, imitating the appearance of Sun and Moon Lake."

As Yali led the way, she explained the origin of Minghu Lake without turning her head.

Xu Xiaoyan chuckled, a little embarrassed, and said, "Sister Yali, your knowledge is truly vast!"

"Of course!"

Ya Li was very pleased with Xu Xiaoyan's flattery.

Na'er, standing to the side, felt a pang of resentment as she watched Xu Xiaoyan chatting animatedly with Ya Li.

Mingming Yali is her teacher's wife, can Xu Xiaoyan please stay away from her!

Just as Su Mo was about to tease Na'er, who was looking jealous, his soul-guided communicator vibrated again.

Su Mo took out his soul-guided communicator and looked at it; his expression immediately turned strange.

The six bright red characters "Yun Guicheng Big Explosion" firmly occupied the top spot on the mainland's trending search list.

The entries below it are discussions that arose after the explosion in Yun Gui City, with the most popular discussion being about the damage to Cemetery No. 6 at the explosion's epicenter.

"Looks like he's not so stupid after all!"

Upon seeing the words "Cemetery No. 6," Su Mo immediately understood the Tang Clan's intention.

They wanted to use this method to lure Yali away from them.

Ya Li, who was chatting enthusiastically with Xu Xiaoyan, suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Mo out of the corner of her eye and saw that Su Mo was standing still and had not followed.

She immediately stopped and asked in a gentle tone, "Su Mo, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Faced with Ya Li's concern, Su Mo gave her a strange look and said in a deep voice, "Sister Ya Li, I'm fine, but you might be in trouble!"

"???"

Ya Li didn't understand what Su Mo meant.

What could a dignified Holy Spirit Douluo possibly have to do?

Before Ya Li could ask anything, Su Mo raised his soul communication device and handed it to her.

"Sister Yali, it seems there's been a huge explosion in your hometown, Yun Gui City!"

"What?"

Upon hearing that a massive explosion had occurred in her hometown, Ya Li didn't hesitate and snatched Su Mo's soul-guided communicator to browse it carefully.

When Yali saw that the explosion's epicenter was in Cemetery No. 6, she was completely distraught. Her rosy complexion turned deathly pale, and she staggered.

"Sister Yali, are you alright?"

"Master's wife, are you alright?"

Xu Xiaoyan and Na'er both expressed their concern at the same time.

"I'm fine!"

Yali took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm.

But anyone with eyes could see that Yali was putting on a brave face.

"Su Mo, I have urgent business to attend to. After you've finished exploring Ming Lake, please return to Shrek Academy on your own!"

After saying that, Yali flew off towards the northwest at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, Yali's figure swept across Shrek City and disappeared completely into the horizon.

"Yali has left, prepare to make your move!"

In Shrek City, Long Yeyue watched Ya Li's departing figure and immediately notified Zang Xin.

"Su Mo, what's wrong with Sister Ya Li?"

Watching Ya Li leave in a hurry, Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo curiously surrounded Su Mo.

Although Na'er didn't come closer, she subconsciously pricked up her ears.

They were very curious about what Su Mo had shown Ya Li that made Ya Li appear so flustered.

"Didn't you guys see the trending topics? A huge explosion happened in Yun Gui City, Ya Li's hometown!"

Su Mo spoke calmly.

"what!"

Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo exclaimed in surprise.

After hearing Su Mo's explanation, Na'er was filled with doubt.

She couldn't understand why the explosion in Yun Gui City would cause Ya Li such concern.

She remembered clearly that Yali's parents and family members had all passed away long ago, and Yun Guicheng had not been back for countless years.

Moreover, judging from Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo's expressions, they actually understood Yali's behavior quite well.

Is it really necessary to be so attached to a hometown that has long since lost all connection with us and is only nominally our hometown?

This confusion inexplicably arose in Na'er's mind and began to bother her.

Looking at Na'er's furrowed brows, Su Mo was a little puzzled. What was wrong with this little ingrate now?

"Na'er, what's wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Mo decided to ask.

Na'er raised her head, looked at Su Mo and the others, and slowly said, "Don't you think my master's wife is a little too nervous?"

As soon as Na'er said this, Su Mo and the others looked at her with strange expressions.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, Na'er was a little puzzled.

Before Su Mo could speak, Xu Xiaoyan eagerly leaned in, her face full of disbelief, and said, "No! Na'er, that's Ya Li's hometown! It's where she grew up!"

Na'er nodded. "Of course I know, but my master's wife has long since lost contact with them."

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Na'er, annoyed. "Don't you understand what 'returning to one's roots' means?"

"Returning to one's roots?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Na'er's face.

She understood the meaning of "fallen leaves return to their roots," of course.

But she couldn't understand those feelings and thoughts at all.

Moreover, seeing Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo's nonchalant expressions, Na'er began to doubt herself.

Having spent so long in the human world, Na'er once believed that she was no different from humans in terms of spirit and could understand all human emotions.

But Xu Xiaoyan's words suddenly jolted her awake, and she realized that she seemed to have never truly integrated into the human world.

She only believed that she was closer to humanity in a spiritual sense because of Tang Wulin.

Whether it was joining Shrek Academy to become Gao Ming's apprentice or making a bet with Gu Kou, her starting point was always for Tang Wulin.

For a moment, Na'er began to doubt the meaning of her existence.

Su Mo looked at Na'er, who suddenly seemed confused, completely bewildered.

However, Su Mo had no time to waste on Na'er, and instead looked around.

Ya Li has been gone for a while now, it's about time the Tang Clan made their move!

Just as Su Mo was wondering why the Tang Clan hadn't made a move, a terrifying, almost suffocating pressure suddenly crashed down from the sky without warning.

Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan, and Wu Siduo felt a tightness in their chests, and their breathing became incredibly difficult.

His body felt as if it were being pressed to the ground by an invisible hand, and even the flow of his soul power became sluggish. His face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

However, in the next instant, a soft and gentle green light slowly bloomed from the sachet that Su Mo wore at his waist.

The light, like a gentle spring breeze and rain, enveloped Su Mo and the other three.

The oppressive force, which was originally as heavy as a mountain, dissipated as quickly as ice and snow melting the moment it touched the green light barrier, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

"Is this... Yari's power?"

High in the air, Zang Xin recognized the origin of the protective shield with just one glance.

He didn't expect that Ya Li would leave Su Mo a protective charm.

But it doesn't matter; in front of these level-one powerhouses, these things are useless.

"Vice Sect Leader Zang Xin, what is the meaning of your order?"

Before Su Mo and the others could even begin to speak, Na'er raised her head and angrily questioned Zang Xin.

Fortunately, Su Mo's soul-guided shield deployed quickly enough, otherwise her dignified half of the Silver Dragon King would almost have knelt before a human.

When Zang Xin saw Na'er, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

He originally planned to intimidate Su Mo and the others with his power, and then take Su Mo away with lightning speed.

But he didn't expect that Na'er would also be in Lingli.

However, Zang Xin didn't have time to worry about that right now.

Breaking the soul-guided shield left by Ya Li and taking Su Mo away is of paramount importance.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the people of the Spirit Pagoda sensed what happened in the talisman.

Without saying a word, Zang Xin struck the soul-guiding shield with his palm.

The terrifying palm strike, carrying an earth-shattering aura, descended upon the location of Su Mo and the others.

"Su Mo!"

Seeing the earth-shattering aura, Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo gripped Su Mo's sleeves tightly on either side.

This was the first time, among all the adults, that they had ever seen a Limit Douluo make a move at such close range.

With a deafening roar, the ground trembled violently, and the earth instantly crumbled apart, emitting a painful groan.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the ground where Su Mo and the others were standing was completely intact, but the rest of the ground was in ruins.

Although Su Mo and the others were unharmed, the protective shield around them had become extremely dim.

"make----"

Staring at the bottomless abyss before them, Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they couldn't utter a single word.

Zang Xin stared intently at Su Mo, then unleashed another palm strike.

"We're doomed!"

Seeing the giant hand fall again, Xu Xiaoyan closed her eyes in fright.

However, the moment the palm touched the protective barrier, a fire phoenix flew in from afar and shattered the palm print.

"!!!"

The moment Zang Xin saw the fire phoenix, his expression changed drastically. He then turned to look into the distance and said coldly, "Leng Yaozhu, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?"

"What else do you mean?"

Leng Yaozhu glared at Zang Xin, "What are you trying to do by attacking my disciple's son-in-law?"

Then Leng Yaozhu flew down in front of Su Mo and protected Su Mo behind her.

Zang Xin stared at Leng Yaozhu and said righteously, "Su Mo stole something from my Tang Clan, so as the deputy sect leader, I naturally have to arrest him and bring him back!"
