Chapter 126: Elder Mu Issues an Emergency

"You can try and see, because I also don't know what this Necromancer will do to your soul, but your flesh and blood is likely good material for refining undead puppets."

Su Yu extended a finger and tapped the tabletop lightly, looking at the terrified Evil Soul Master opposite him. Humans always harbor fear toward the unknown, and Evil Soul Masters are no exception; abilities like this, which can manipulate the undead, are even more terrifying among Evil Soul Masters.

"I won't force you if you don't want to talk. After all, I know you people of the Holy Spirit Cult have your own moral code. See you tomorrow; I'll come find you again when you've thought it through."

Su Yu left the place, lacking interest, leaving the Necromancer behind alone. Not long after Su Yu walked out, the Evil Soul Master's screams, even more miserable than before, came from behind him.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! I'll say everything, ah..."

Su Yu felt his skin crawl hearing these screams. He had originally estimated it would take some time, but he hadn't expected the other party to cave in so quickly.

Who would have thought, the moment Su Yu saw the Necromancer, he couldn't help but sigh. It must be said, humans are still afraid of their souls being devoured.

Because the Necromancer had no intention of keeping this Evil Soul Master named Xue Ya alive, he had started devouring his soul directly. Now, Xue Ya's soul power had been mostly crippled by Elder Chen, and in the hands of this fourth-rank Necromancer, he was completely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Speak. Once you're done, I'll give you a quick end."

Recalling the Necromancer, Su Yu also called Tang Ya in. Su Yu knew the reason, but he couldn't say it; what needed to be done now was to send Tang Ya back to Shrek Academy.

"Speak. State your purpose in front of the Tang Sect Sect Master."

Looking at Xue Ya, who had already fallen into a state of extreme weakness before him, Su Yu waited quietly.

"In this girl's body lies a powerful talent identical to us Evil Soul Masters. We came to Heaven Dou City precisely because we discovered her existence. If you hadn't come to meddle, she would have become one of us, perhaps even the Saintess of our Holy Spirit Cult!"

"I've said everything I should say. Let me die, I beg you to give me a quick end, I don't want to, I don't want to be..."

Before the words were finished, his head was severed by a blade from Elder Chen, who had been lurking in the shadows, and fresh blood gushed out along the mirror-smooth cut.

"Ah!"

A sharp, high-pitched female scream pierced Su Yu's eardrums. With Tang Ya so close, Su Yu personally experienced what it meant to have "orioles singing in the valley, cuckoos crying blood"...

"Teacher Xiao Ya, you didn't have such a big reaction when you wiped out the Iron-Blooded Sect last time, did you?"

Looking at the Soul Douluo Xue Ya, who was now nothing more than a twisted corpse with his head still rolling on the ground, Su Yu casually used a Soul Guidance Device to burn it all to ashes, leaving not a trace behind.

"Teacher Xiao Ya, I think we should properly discuss Tang Sect matters now. This affair not only concerns you, but also the future of the Tang Sect, because..."

Su Yu turned slowly, looking into Tang Ya's crystal-clear eyes. In Tang Ya's eyes, Su Yu saw her fear.

"I, I, Su Yu, I..."

A trace of fear appeared on Tang Ya's face, and her body was trembling slightly. Clearly, Xue Ya had revealed her secret; once this matter spread, the Tang Sect would also be implicated.

The Tang Sect Sect Master is actually an Evil Soul Master!

The severity of the situation far exceeded Tang Ya's imagination, but fortunately, only two people knew about this: Su Yu and Elder Chen.

Watching Tang Ya's rich, movie-like facial expressions, Su Yu couldn't hold it together either and smiled helplessly: "Teacher Xiao Ya, let's think of a way first, otherwise your martial soul problem really won't be solvable. After all, you aren't an Evil Soul Master, it's just that there's a problem with your martial soul. So, for now, let's think about how to solve it."

Stabilizing Tang Ya was the most important thing. If she lost hope or the Evil Soul Master power went out of control, she would truly become a Lanyin Shengnyu; if that happened, it would be truly absurd.

"Mm..." At this moment, Tang Ya had long since fallen into a daze. For her, that characteristic within her body had always been her own secret, but who could have expected it to be exposed by an Evil Soul Master now, and furthermore, known by Su Yu, who had helped her rebuild the Tang Sect.

This, this...

What should I do? Am I, am I really destined to be unable to rebuild the Tang Sect in my hands...

Who can tell me, what on earth, should I do...

When Su Yu and Tang Ya walked out of the secret chamber, Elder Chen also tactfully disappeared from the Tang Sect. In the place where Tang Ya had been in seclusion, Su Yu looked at the complex-looking Tang Ya opposite him and coughed slightly.

"Ah, what's wrong? I, I..."

Tang Ya, who had been lost in a daze, was startled by Su Yu's cough and became somewhat incoherent. Only after reacting did she lower her head in shame.

"Teacher Xiao Ya, no matter how you think about the Tang Sect, you must return to Shrek Academy now. Because Xue Ya said that the power within you is extremely powerful even among Evil Soul Masters; with your own strength, it is impossible to suppress it."

Su Yu tapped the table lightly, having already formulated a strategy in his heart. The original purpose of this trip was to send Tang Ya back to Shrek Academy, and now, with the assistance of the Evil Soul Master, it was smooth sailing!

If one really had to say it, Su Yu even had to thank the Evil Soul Master Xue Ya for coming.

Looking at Su Yu, who was still deep in thought opposite her, Tang Ya had completely lost hope. Was she really going to become an Evil Soul Master?

"Su Yu, is there, is there really no other way? I don't want to, I don't want to become..."

Holding onto her last shred of hope, Tang Ya looked at Su Yu. Perhaps only this person, who had single-handedly established the Tang Sect for her and operated it completely, perfectly fulfilling the promise made when she first entered, could help her.

"Go to Shrek. Senior Sister Xiao Tao also has the Evil Fire characteristic; she was also attacked by an Evil Soul Master. Only by staying at Shrek will you be safest. As for your martial soul problem, I believe that with Shrek's foundation, it's impossible for there to be no solution. You must trust Shrek, and even more, trust my judgment!"

"Mm, I know. I believe Shrek Academy will definitely have a way to solve it. I don't want to be an Evil Soul Master; the Tang Sect Sect Master cannot be an Evil Soul Master!"

At this moment, under the tireless brainwashing of a certain Su, Tang Ya finally realized the severity of the situation.

Although you would indeed develop very quickly if you went to the Evil Soul Master side, for the sake of my subsequent plans, you had better stay safely at Shrek.

Although I knew about this long ago, I couldn't possibly tell you. Now, stop being stubborn and go back to the academy to study properly.

That's right, this was the true thought of a certain Su. With Tang Ya's strength, going out into the world now would be like serving herself up to the Evil Soul Masters on a platter, and a full-course banquet at that.

The current situation still required her to be sent to Bei Bei's side. After all, although that guy looks unreliable, he is actually quite reliable. After all, one can tell from the affair between Xu Sanshi and a certain Bei.

To sacrifice one's life for a brother, and to sacrifice a brother for a woman.

This is the unchanging life motto of this pair of best friends, and they have been carrying it out from beginning to end.

Su Yu didn't need to arrange the subsequent matters; Tang Ya naturally understood. With her intense obsession with the sect, she would never choose to become an Evil Soul Master even if she died.

There were two paths before her now. The first: awaken the power within her, become a powerful Evil Soul Master, then be hunted by everyone, eventually becoming completely disconnected from the world in the light, and becoming one of the evil forces in the shadows.

The second path: abandon the Evil Soul Master power and enter Shrek to seek help.

For the current Tang Ya, this was a question that didn't even need choosing, because she could never let the Tang Sect, which had been rebuilt with such difficulty, be destroyed again!

…………

Shrek City, Shrek Academy main gate.

Gazing at this academy that carried the will of countless Shrek predecessors over ten thousand years, perhaps this consciousness did not align with what Su Yu was pursuing.

Shrek, I, Su Yu, have returned...

Walking slowly into the classroom, this surprised even Wang Yan, who was still teaching, because he clearly remembered that Su Yu had been forcibly recalled by his family and had applied for a leave of absence for at least two years.

Only a year or so had passed, and Su Yu had returned; this undoubtedly surprised even Wang Yan.

In this year, Wang Dong had become the class number one, Dai Huabin was firmly pressed into second place by Wang Dong, the Control System Class Monitor had been sent to the Body Sect, so Wang Dong took over as the Control System monitor, while Dai Huabin took over as Wang Dong's Assault System Class Monitor.

When everyone saw Su Yu walk into the classroom, they all cheered in surprise.

"It seems my time as Class Monitor should come to an end. Sigh, that freak is back again. Looking across the entire outer courtyard, there probably isn't a single guy left who can beat him..."

Looking at Su Yu, Dai Huabin also gave a helpless, bitter smile. Not to mention himself, even his older brother Dai Yaoheng held Su Yu in high regard, and he himself had been ruthlessly crushed by Su Yu time and time again.

"Teacher Wang Yan, long time no see."

After greeting Wang Yan, Su Yu walked straight toward where Wang Dong was. Xiao Xiao, who was sitting beside Wang Dong, also very tactfully moved away, and those sitting around Wang Dong subconsciously created a vacuum zone around him.

In this vacuum zone, there were only Su Yu and Wang Dong.

"Wang Dong, I'm back..."

…………

After class, everyone was urgently summoned to the Sea God Pavilion.

Shrek Academy, Sea God Island, Sea God Pavilion!

Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong, the seven of them stood quietly in a row.

Only Su Yu, like the captain of the seven, stood not far in front of Mu Lao.

Mu Lao lay quietly on a recliner. More than a year had passed, and Mu Lao's hair had all fallen out. His own life force seemed to have reached its end, and he rarely even opened his eyes.

Standing behind Su Yu, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei were already sobbing uncontrollably. Looking at Mu En, whose life was beginning to reach its end, Su Yu also felt some sorrow in his heart.

Whether in the original story or now, Mu En had always been an elder and senior worthy of respect.

To ensure his own safety, he did not hesitate to go to the Star Dou Great Forest in person to negotiate with Di Tian. Not to mention anything else, this one act alone was worthy of Su Yu's respect!

Xuan Lao stood quietly by Mu Lao's side. Xuan Lao's expression was also incomparably solemn at this moment, but he was powerless; he could only watch helplessly as Mu En walked step by step toward extinction.

Standing with him were all the Sea God Pavilion elders, including Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei'er, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo.

It was not yet Mu Lao's final hour, but Mu Lao still chose to summon everyone from the outer courtyard. Looking at the gathered crowd from the outer courtyard, Mu Lao spoke slowly to the many Sea God Pavilion elders: "You all should disperse first; I haven't reached that point yet."

"Yu Hao, Su Yu, help me up."

After the many Sea God Pavilion elders dispersed, Mu Lao spoke slowly.

The current Mu Lao had completely lost his former brilliance; he was like a withered tree, with only decay remaining.

"Teacher..." Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but call out.

Su Yu did not speak, but gently helped Mu Lao up along with Huo Yuhao.

"Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Hao, you are the one I value the most, and also my closing disciple. No matter if Teacher is by your side or not, you must remember, no matter what happens, never forget that you are a student of Shrek, and you are a disciple of my, Mu En!"

Mu Lao did not look at Huo Yuhao's tear-stained face again, but shifted his gaze to Su Yu.

"To be honest, Su Yu, actually, back when you returned victorious, I had considered taking you as my closing disciple, but later I discovered that I couldn't quite see through you. Whether it was you entering Shrek to study or winning the championship for Shrek, I couldn't see through you. Perhaps becoming my disciple might not be your best destination; this is the reason why I didn't take you as my disciple."

Supporting Mu Lao, Su Yu and Huo Yuhao's steps were very slow, because they both knew Mu Lao's physical condition.

This man who once shook the continent, stirred up the winds and clouds, and was known as the White Dragon of the Black and White Twin Dragons, had now reached his final moments.

The current him was no longer the former Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, the Dragon God Douluo.

Mu En was leaving. As a mortal, he could not escape birth, aging, sickness, and death. Perhaps, in Shrek Academy, paving the way for those who came after, inheriting the will of Shrek, and bathing in the light was his best destination...

"In the blink of an eye, it's been over three hundred years. For ordinary people, a few decades is a lifetime. Having lived to my age, what else is there for me to regret? My fellow disciples have also left, and now it is my turn..."

With every step taken, Mu En's body would tremble slightly; now, even moving was somewhat difficult for him.

Mu Lao, after all, was going to leave...
