Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

Chapter 157 Big News

The beast tide continued in this spectacular manner for a full quarter of an hour.

The Starry Sky Forest seemed to have returned to peace.

The group landed back on the ground.

Looking around, there was no sign of Huo Yuhao or Wang Qiu'er. The ground was covered with traces of soul beasts trampling and fallen trees.

"What do we do now? Should we go look for Huo Yuhao?" Ye Guyi whispered in Zhang Mo's ear.

Dean Cai slowly descended from the sky, her face full of worry. There were no traces or clues of Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er on the ground, and it would be difficult for her to explain to Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan when she returned.

"No, our operation must be suspended. Huo Yuhao is not a hothouse flower; he is the core of the academy's Extreme Individual Soldier Program, and there is also Wang Qiu'er. I believe in both of them."

"The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest have been mobilized, leading a horde of soul beasts. We must find out what has happened."

"Moreover, if we want to find Huo Yuhao, we must return to the academy and send someone else. Otherwise, it will take us forever to find him with just the few of us."

After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan and Cai Meier nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let's go back to the academy first." Dean Cai looked into Zhang Mo's eyes and nodded.

The group then headed towards the outer area, heading towards Shrek City.

After leaving the Starry Sky Forest, we passed through several small villages, all of which had been ravaged by spirit beasts. The ground was littered with corpses, some of spirit beasts and some of humans.

Looking at the white, yellow, and purple spirit rings scattered all over the ground, Zhang Mo frowned.

What exactly happened to make Di Tian make such a decision? What was the purpose of the soul beasts sacrificing themselves so recklessly?

This scene confirms that Zhang Mo's decision was correct. He must first return to the academy to find out what the soul beasts did after rushing out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Why did they take action without regard for the truce between humans and soul beasts? Aren't they afraid of starting another great war?

The group sped up, eager to get back to the academy as quickly as possible and figure out what was going on.

Shrek City.

Outside Shrek City, the soul beasts emerging from the Star Dou Great Forest still had bloodshot eyes and were attacking the city walls of Shrek City.

On the city wall, some disciples of the Tang Sect and the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy were operating the Tang Sect Zhuge Cannon, which had been improved by Huo Yuhao, to attack the soul beasts below the city wall.

Occasionally, some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would attack the city, at which point some faculty and staff members of Shrek Academy with the cultivation of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint would step in to stop them.

In the sky, the Crimson Demon Hound, with its three heads and shimmering golden-red fur, stood in mid-air, overseeing the attack of the soul beasts.

"Red King, retreat now, and we can treat this as a small misunderstanding. Otherwise, I will capture you and take your head to Emperor Tian for a proper interrogation."

Elder Xuan's deep voice traveled from above Shrek City to the Red King's ears.

The Crimson King remained motionless in mid-air, observing coldly as the soul beasts below carried out their so-called suicide attacks.

Elder Xuan had tried to talk to the Crimson King many times, but the Crimson King never answered him. His unusual aloofness left Elder Xuan unable to figure out the Crimson King's temperament.

Elder Xuan turned to look in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. His real worry wasn't the beast tide, but rather Zhang Mo and his group who were heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings. After all, Huo Yuhao was among them; he was the future of the academy.

Just as Elder Xuan was worrying, several swift figures streaked across the horizon.

That's—Cai Meier? And behind her are Zhang Mo and the others?

Zhang Mo and his group had just spotted Elder Xuan and the Crimson King confronting each other in the air from afar, and those with the ability to fly immediately went to Elder Xuan's side.

Zhang Mo's gaze swept towards the outside of the city.

"what?"

A voice filled with doubt rang out subconsciously.

Why is the Crimson King delaying its attack in the air? And why are the number of soul beasts in this beast tide so small? With this level of attack, when will it ever be able to break into the city?

Are they really planning to attack the city?

At this moment, Elder Xuan looked behind the group and even down to the ground, only to see Wang Dong'er's figure, but he did not see Huo Yuhao's figure for a long time.

An ominous premonition arose in Elder Xuan's heart. He asked tremblingly, "Yu, where is Yuhao? Did something happen to him?"

Upon hearing this, both Cai Meier and Zhang Lexuan lowered their heads in shame, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Zhang Mo helplessly pinched his brow and told Elder Xuan about Huo Yuhao's terrible luck.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan's clothes fluttered without wind, and a powerful surge of soul energy erupted forth.

"Emperor Heaven————"

Seeing that Elder Xuan's muscles were starting to swell, Zhang Mo quickly placed his hand on Elder Xuan's shoulder and said rapidly, "Calm down, Elder Xuan. This matter needs to be discussed carefully."

"Wang Qiu'er is my niece. Her martial soul is the Golden Dragon. She doesn't have any other advantages, except that she's sturdy and can take a beating. With her around, Huo Yuhao will definitely be safe and sound."

"Besides, don't you think this beast horde siege is very strange?"

Zhang Mo's words calmed the hot-tempered Elder Xuan, and the powerful aura gradually dissipated.

Elder Xuan let out a long breath, observed the scene on the ground again, and squinted, saying, "There is indeed something unusual."

"Although this is a beast tide, the number of soul beasts is not large, and their quality is not high. Most of them are hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts attacking the city. If my Shrek City is captured by these soul beasts, then the name of Shrek can be used to flush the toilet."

"This Red King—"

"The Crimson King has been hovering in the sky for a long time without attacking, right? Besides, if the truce agreement with Shrek Academy had really been broken, they wouldn't have sent just one Crimson King." Zhang Mo chimed in at the right moment.

Elder Xuan nodded and asked, "Then—in your opinion, what is the meaning behind this action?"

Zhang Mo recounted everything that happened to his group in the Star Dou Great Forest to Elder Xuan, including the three evil soul master brothers and the entire beast tide they encountered. Apart from the Crimson King, two other ferocious beasts led a group of soul beasts away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

After hearing this, Elder Xuan glanced at the Crimson King again, who remained standing motionless in mid-air.

"Let's go back to the Sea God Pavilion first."

With a wave of his sleeve, Elder Xuan enveloped everyone with his soul power, and within a few breaths, he brought them back to the Sea God Pavilion.

As soon as Elder Xuan landed, he summoned a few people and gave them some instructions, after which they quickly departed. He then approached Zhang Mo and asked, "I've already sent people to inquire about Zi Ji and Xiong Jun's whereabouts. What are you going to do next?"

Zhang Mo pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "I've decided to absorb that soul bone first to enhance my strength, and then go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er."
