Chapter 184 Split into Two Groups
Qin Mu did this not simply because he had an overflowing saintly heart and wanted to save the soul masters who died in the Soul Hunting Operation.
More importantly, Qin Mu must prevent Bibi Dong's operation from succeeding.
In the original novel, after Bibi Dong's Soul Hunting Operation, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suffered devastating blows. Two of the three upper sects were destroyed and one went into seclusion, allowing Bibi Dong to take the opportunity to re-establish the seven major sects and control the Soul Master world.
This action also firmly established Bibi Dong's foothold in the Soul Master world and solidified her great reputation in Spirit Hall.
If Bibi Dong's actions are to succeed, her plan to take over Spirit Hall will face extreme difficulties.
Even with Qian Daoliu's support behind her, the success of the Soul Hunting Operation will only increase the calls for support for Bibi Dong.
Reaching into his Ruyi Treasure Pouch, Qin Mu took out the Angel Token and the Spirit Hall Elder Token, and handed both tokens to Yue Guan.
"Please make a trip to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. You must get there as quickly as possible."
"It will probably take about three days for Bibi Dong to send people to wipe out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"At that time, you will reveal your identity and, on the orders of the Elder of the Hall of Offerings, you must stop this operation!"
"Remember! It's better to fail the mission than for anything to go wrong!"
Qin Mu reached out and tightly grasped Yue Guan's hand, the worry in his eyes was clearly visible to Yue Guan.
Since joining Spirit Hall, when has he ever been treated like this?
In an instant, a feeling of "a scholar would die for a friend" welled up in Yue Guan's heart.
"Don't worry! I will do my best!"
Yue Guan respectfully bowed to Qin Mu, then immediately set off, flying off in another direction.
Watching Yue Guan's departing figure, Ling Yuan felt a little uneasy and asked somewhat resentfully.
"Little Qin Mu, why won't you let me go?"
"Heh, keeping you by my side naturally means I have a more important task than him!"
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Ling Yuan's previously depressed mood immediately eased, and even a happy expression appeared on her face.
Seeing Ling Yuan like this, Qin Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
This mission is of utmost importance; a single misstep could even be life-threatening.
If Ling Yuan were to go, there's no guarantee that some friction might arise. Not only would she fail to resolve the crisis with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but she might also get herself involved.
But Qin Mu would feel much more at ease if he entrusted the task to Yue Guan.
After all, Qin Mu greatly admired Yue Guan's methods and tact.
Even if things ultimately become irreconcilable, Yue Guan will most likely be able to escape using his own abilities.
As for the spirit kite...
Is there a high probability that she will choose to confront them head-on?
After handing the instructions to Yue Guan, Qin Mu and Ling Yuan immediately followed Ning Rongrong, who was strolling around Heaven Dou City.
Ning Rongrong was unaware that two such powerful individuals were following behind her.
She looked extremely annoyed.
Four years have passed since the All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament.
Since Shrek Academy did not win the final championship, although they made it to the finals with an average age of around fifteen, it was still something to boast about.
However, after the competition, Yu Xiaogang's nonsensical remarks caused Shrek Academy's reputation to plummet.
For a time, the nickname "theft team" overshadowed their ultimate achievements.
Within Heaven Dou City, if you encounter a student with poor manners, the first thing everyone says is:
"Are you from Shrek Academy?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu were rescued by Tang Hao, and there has been no news of them for four years. Yu Xiaogang is half-mad, making it impossible to verify such matters.
The rumors circulating outside gradually made them doubt themselves, and Zhu Zhuqing even questioned Flander and the others on the spot about the truth of the matter.
Flander naturally told Zhu Zhuqing to let everyone choose to believe Yu Xiaogang.
Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, once a seed of doubt is planted, it will only take root and sprout unless there is strong and irrefutable evidence.
Not long after, Ning Rongrong was taken away by Ning Fengzhi and protected in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The others, naturally, also chose to leave Shrek Academy because of this incident, and because they had all met the graduation requirements.
Four years have passed, and they still haven't heard from each other at all.
Ning Rongrong sighed slightly, looking around before entering a fairly large teahouse.
Ning Rongrong arrived at the most luxurious room in the teahouse with ease. As soon as she sat down, a waiter greeted her with a smile.
"Tell me a story from the previous Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament!"
Ning Rongrong pulled out a small purse from somewhere, and with her slender fingers, she took out a handful of gold soul coins from the purse and put them into the waiter's hand.
"Alright! Miss, please wait a moment!"
The waiter was overjoyed when he saw the dozen or so gold soul coins that Ning Rongrong had placed in his hand. He nodded and bowed repeatedly in response.
A moment later, the storyteller's eloquent voice abruptly stopped, and after a pause of about a minute or two, the storyteller's voice returned.
"Speaking of elite talents, where can one find them? These top-tier candidates naturally come from the Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Competition..."
The All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament, held every five years, always features exhilarating battle scenes.
Although four years have passed since the last grand final, the sheer scale of the previous final far surpassed that of the previous ones, resulting in storytellers being asked to retell the stories every two or three days.
The audience was very supportive; even though they had heard it more than ten times, they still couldn't help but clap and cheer when they heard the exciting parts again.
Ning Rongrong was no exception.
At first, when she heard the storyteller belittle Shrek Academy as villains, she couldn't help but get angry and had a big argument with the storyteller. She even almost went home to call a powerful person to cause trouble.
Now, when Ning Rongrong hears the exact same scene again, she can only show a bitter smile.
"Could it be that, as the outside world says, the masters and the others are all deceiving us...?"
Ning Rongrong gripped the teacup tightly in her hand. As she gradually increased the pressure with her fingers, a short while later, a cracking sound was heard, and the teacup was crushed to pieces.
"Why are you so unhappy about listening to a storyteller?"
The sudden voice from behind made Ning Rongrong's hair stand on end.
Suddenly jumping up from her seat, Ning Rongrong turned around and looked behind her, her bright eyes instantly filled with shock.
Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared behind her.
