In the dense forest near the Tiandou Empire...
Now, in addition to the Sect Disciples of the Hao Tian Clan, Sea Soul Masters from Sea God's Island had also gathered!
At this moment, the Hao Tian Sect Elders, the Sect Master, and Shrek's Seven Monsters all sat together with grave expressions on their faces!
There was a heavy question in everyone's heart: the Tiandou Empire, now renamed the Martial Soul Empire, had, with the massive support of Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall, succeeded in overthrowing the Xingluo Empire!
Tang Chen, who was reinstated as the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan, spoke first, "The actions of Martial Soul Hall were unexpectedly quick, managing to unite the Continent!"
The Hao Tian Sect Elder next to him nodded, saying with a sullen face, "Yes, with the strength of Martial Soul Hall now, it would be effortless to suppress any Soul Masters and common people who resist the merger."
Another Hao Tian Sect Elder clenched his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that with this, the future situation of the Continent will head down a path that cannot be changed!"
To think that the mighty Hao Tian Clan would one day be forced to take refuge in this primitive forest!
It was a blatant insult!
Shrek's companions glanced at each other, their eyes revealing an unwillingness to accept the situation...
They had no wish to live in a Continent ruled by the Martial Soul Hall!
Ma Hongjun touched the Phoenix Mark on his forehead and couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, "If only we had more time, we could definitely drive Martial Soul Hall back!"
The members of Shrek had all received the inheritance of the Divine Residence, and if they were to grow strong, toppling the rule of Martial Soul Hall wouldn't be a problem at all!
Most important was to kill that cold-blooded bastard who brutally murdered their teacher!!
Dai Mubai also clenched his teeth, throwing a punch at a thick tree next to him, and with a loud "bang," the tree suddenly split apart...
He said in a dark tone, "But now, there simply isn't enough time!"
If the Xingluo Empire has been trampled, then the fate of the royal household within it, Dai Mubai didn't even have to think about it to know they must have been mercilessly slaughtered!
Zhu Zhuqing, who was next to him, also felt uneasy at heart and tried to calm him, "Mubai, calm down a bit!"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's voice, Dai Mubai suppressed the dissatisfaction welling up inside him...
Tang San took a deep breath and slowly said, "All in all, it's because we are too weak right now, even if each of us has received the inheritance from the Divine Residence, we're still too far behind Martial Soul Hall without having grown stronger!"
He added, "But after we truly obtain the power of the Divine Residence, it might take at least a few years, and by that time, whether it be Tiandou Empire or Xingluo Empire, they're likely to be well adapted to the Martial Soul Empire!"
If it really came to that, even if they were to rebel against Martial Soul Hall, and even destroy it...
They might still be regarded by all Soul Masters and common people as outcasts, perhaps even labeled as evil Soul Masters who disturb the peace of the Continent.
Oscar released two fragrant sausages, bit into one ferociously, and while eating mumbled, "So what do we do, just let Martial Soul Hall unify the Continent like this? There's some reluctance in my heart! The grudge against Headmaster Flender cannot go unavenged!"
They were in a fight to the death with Martial Soul Hall, whether it was capturing Grandmaster and Elder Long, or the killing of Headmaster Flender!
Not one of these could allow them to just lay down their hatred!
Tang Chen looked at the divine seals on the foreheads of the six of them and said solemnly, "What you can do now is only to hide. The inheritance of the Divine Residence is the capital for all of you to grow stronger!"
"Only when you are strong enough to resist Martial Soul Hall will there definitely be many Soul Masters and common people who suffered under Martial Soul Hall to support you!"
For now, they must endure...
Biding their time was the right choice!
Six children with the inheritance of the Divine Residence could absolutely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
...
"Tap, tap, tap~"
Within a dark corridor tinged with dusk, the crisp sound of footsteps slowly echoed...
Brock and Liu Erlong, now confined to a cage, had become extremely emaciated, especially the former, whose hair was turning white...
And Liu Erlong, due to the toxins accumulating for too long in her body, had already begun to suffer irreparable damage...
For example, her once smooth skin had now turned into horrifying scars.
Brock said coldly, "What are you here for? To mock us? Get lost!"
He now felt sick to his stomach whenever he saw Bi Bidong!
And even more disgusted with his past self for being so intimate with her!
How could he have been so foolish back then?
The weak Liu Erlong in his arms spoke slowly, "Brock… don't… don't get angry with such people…"
Yu Xiaogang looked at the pitiable state of the woman in his arms, and yet he was completely helpless...
Those blood-red pupils struggled to offer a consoling smile, "It's okay, it's okay, Erlong, I'm not mad at her…"
If only he had been strong enough…
Then Liu Erlong wouldn't have ended up like this…
It was all his fault, he was utterly worthless!
He couldn't even save the woman he loved!
Outside the cage, Bi Bidong looked at the white-haired Yu Xiaogang and then turned to Liu Erlong in his arms, whose condition was enough to make anyone feel nauseous...
She silently lowered her eyes, unexpectedly not uttering a word to interrupt them…
This woman had already ended up in such a sorry state…
Why, then, did Yu Xiaogang still stand by her side unwaveringly?
And why had he… back then?
Yu Xiaogang did not even deign to glance straight at Bi Bidong, focusing only on Liu Erlong in his arms, as if looking at Bi Bidong would sully his eyes...
His voice was icy, "Bi Bidong, just leave. I don't care what you want to do! If you're here to mock us, then consider it a win for you."
After a pause, Bi Bidong finally said, "Yu Xiaogang, I didn't expect you to still be so loyal and devoted. I thought you would abandon her, just like you did back then!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression remained unchanged, "That depends on the person involved!"
Hearing this response, Bi Bidong felt an inexplicable pain in her heart…
She couldn't help frowning and covered her chest…
She no longer loved him and had even slaughtered his entire clan; why then did she feel this way…
Bi Bidong decided not to ponder any more…
Instead, she released a massive aura, and the huge cage shattered apart…
Her gaze was icy as she looked at Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, "Take her and get lost. Martial Soul Hall will not provide for two useless people; it would just be a waste of food!"
Hearing Bi Bidong's words made Yu Xiaogang's pupils constrict sharply as he faced away from her...
He didn't reply to Bi Bidong but simply lifted the Liu Erlong in his arms and carefully placed her on his back, like a precious treasure, for fear of her getting hurt…
Yu Xiaogang, now shouldering Liu Erlong, took each step more laboriously than the last out of the cell. He did not even give Bi Bidong a glance but simply passed by her, slowly heading towards the exit…
Watching the two figures before her, Bi Bidong's eyes flickered again…
Her voice extremely cold, "The entire Continent is now under the control of Martial Soul Hall. If you want to live a crawling existence with her, you'd better leave the Martial Soul Empire!"
At these words, Yu Xiaogang's steps halted for a moment…
A few seconds later, Yu Xiaogang continued to strugglingly carry Liu Erlong into the dim corridor…
After the two had left, Bi Bidong, still standing motionless, lowered her head "..."
It was as if something in her heart had finally been released…
From beginning to end, he had never truly loved her…
Then, she really should become one…
The Empress ruling over two empires!
