章 646: Chapter 67 New Arrangements_1

"What's that sound? Is it thunder?"
"My God, the brightness on the horizon is from soul cannons; it's an enemy attack!"
In Xingluo City, numerous citizens were stirred. When they discerned the abnormality in the sky, their faces revealed a look of panic.
"What a ruthless multiple-choice question."
"On one side are the people of Xingluo City, on the other, the students of Shrek Academy. There are thousands and thousands of citizens, but only one student. I really want to see how Shrek, which prides itself on justice and maintaining peace on Soul Land, will choose."
Jing Hongchen sneered inwardly.
Qin Xiao also quietly watched as the situation unfolded.
In Mu En's eyes, the conflict was evident.
However.
When the conflict in Mu En's eyes turned into a look of heartache, Qin Xiao knew what decision he had made.
The next moment, a dragon's roar sounded, and Mu En turned into a beam of golden light that vanished from the spot.
His target wasn't the Feng Ling standing not far from him in confrontation but the soul cannons to the north of Xingluo City.
"Hahaha, truly worthy of Shrek, holding it upon themselves to maintain the peace of Soul Land. I'm impressed."
Seeing this, Feng Ling laughed and left Xingluo City. Immediately after, Xingluo City was enveloped in a series of violent explosions.
Just as Feng Ling said, under Mu En's protection, not a single fixed soul cannonball hit Xingluo City, as Mu En intercepted them all.
"Who dares wreak havoc in Xingluo City!"
At that moment, several powerful Titled Douluos also appeared in the skies above Xingluo City.
In reality, one can't say they arrived late, only that everything happened too fast.
From Ma Xiaotao dashing out of the hotel to the firing of the soul cannons, it was just a matter of seconds.
Had Qin Xiao and Jing Hongchen not been close by, they surely would've missed this spectacle.
Suddenly.
The golden dragon shadow that Mu En had transformed into reappeared not far from Qin Xiao and Jing Hongchen, and Mu En's body became visible once more.
From the outside, neither Qin Xiao nor Jing Hongchen could discern anything unusual about Mu En.
But Qin Xiao sensed a fleeting breath of death from Mu En.
"Mu En has been seriously injured for many years and has been recuperating in the Sea God's Pavilion. He avoids taking action unless necessary, just to hold onto that breath of life and live a few more days."
"Today, he desperately made his move, which seems to have aggravated his old injuries, making his already severe condition even worse. It looks like he won't live much longer."
Qin Xiao had roughly guessed Mu En's condition.
And at this moment.
Mu En also looked over.
Of course, he wasn't mainly looking at Qin Xiao but Jing Hongchen, "Hall Master Hongchen, your Mingde Hall's soul tools sure are widespread. Not only does the Sun-Moon Empire have them, but the Evil Soul Master Organization possesses them too?"
You could tell that Mu En was very angry.
If it hadn't been for so many fixed soul cannons today, how could Feng Ling have managed to take Ma Xiaotao away?
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen, feeling helpless, spread out his hands, "My Mingde Hall's soul tools are not only found in the Sun-Moon Empire but are spread across the entirety of Soul Land; as for this matter, I too am quite helpless."
Mu En, angry as he was, didn't bother to deal with Jing Hongchen and his rogue-like behavior. He snorted and returned to the hotel.
Qin Xiao, under the guidance of Jing Hongchen, also left the place.
The excitement was over.
Of course, it was time to go back to sleep.
...
Elsewhere, after Mu En returned to the hotel, Wang Yan and many students had already been waiting for some time.
Naturally, with such a major disturbance, no one could sleep peacefully.
"Elder, are you ok?"
Beibei hurried over to Mu En, concerned.
Seeing no sign of relief on Mu En's face, Wang Yan and the others' expressions turned grim.
"I'm fine." Mu En said, waving his hand slightly, "Unfortunately, I was unable to prevent Xiao Tao's departure. Those damn evil Soul Masters, to think they would dare to abduct someone so brazenly; things have reached a point I hadn't anticipated."
Xiao Tao... Upon hearing Mu En's words, everyone present was momentarily dazed.
They all felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
The scene just now, which they saw from the hotel, showed that the evil Soul Masters were too dominant. They had forced Elder Mu into a position of helplessness.
"Is everyone here now?" Mu En continued, "We must return to Shrek Academy immediately to devise a plan against the evil Soul Masters."
Wang Yan responded immediately, "Dai Huabin and Wang Dong have not arrived yet."
"Where did they go?" Mu En was taken aback.
"Dai Huabin wanted to go home to check on things before leaving. As for that kid Wang Dong, it was strange. He said there was something very important to him at the Soul Master competition that he must find. I asked him what it was, so we could all help look for it, but he couldn't say."
Wang Yan finished speaking and sighed helplessly.
Who knew what was with this year's Soul Master competition.
Whether it was the students or the experiences they went through, everything was so strange.
Mu En said sternly, "Go find them and bring them back immediately."
"Yes."
Everyone nodded in unison.
However.
Before the group could leave, hotel staff hurriedly approached them.
"What's the matter?" Wang Yan asked with a frown.
"A letter has arrived from Duke White Tiger's Mansion." The staff quickly took out a letter and handed it to Wang Yan before hurrying off.
