Yu Xiaogang is struggling due to Jun Tianlin, and Flanders is knocked unconscious by Bibi Dong once again.
The group of small monsters trailing behind are all blocked by the Dragon Lord. Suddenly, Shrek's high-end combat power is reduced to just Liu Erlong.
However, her so-called "high-end combat power" is merely that of a slightly larger ant in front of the two Titled Douluo, Ghost and Chrysanthemum.
Not long after, she is knocked unconscious by a hand knife, delivered by Yu Yuanzhen. After all, she is his niece, and he cannot let her die in vain.
"Humph, Chief Yu, your niece should be taken back and disciplined" Bibi Dong said coldly when she saw this. Among these people, Liu Erlong was the one she disliked the most.
"Thank you, Your Holiness, for your forgiveness." Yu Yuanzhen bowed and took the unconscious Liu Erlong back to Ning Fengzhi.
At this moment, Tang San and Xiao Wu find themselves without protection and become easy targets. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately rush toward them.
Tang San, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, tries to protect Xiao Wu and prepares for a hard fight.
"A chrysanthemum, a little ghost. You dare to harm my son? Get out of here!" At this moment, a deep voice suddenly booms, like an explosion in the air. The sound is not loud, but the overwhelming aura it carries causes everyone's body to tremble.
Upon hearing this voice, Tang San looks up in surprise, his eyes wide. On the other side, Pope Bibi Dong's face grows serious as she looks up into the sky.
With a loud boom, the bodies of the two Titled Douluos, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Guimei, are sent flying backward as if hit by a cannonball. Both of their faces shift with surprise. How could they not recognize this voice?
In the air, a figure stands, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, surrounded by nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
"Tang Hao!" Bibi Dong shouts, her eyes burning with hatred as she glares at Tang Hao in the air.
"Good acting!" Jun Tianlin quietly praises in his heart. As expected, women are born actors.
Bibi Dong surely wants to kill Tang Hao, but that's because he is destined to be an enemy of the Spirit Hall. It is not necessarily that she personally hates Tang Hao. Without him, avenging her great hatred would not be so easy.
However, to the outside world, the Pope died at Tang Hao's hands. If Bibi Dong were to show anger toward the man who killed her master, wouldn't the Pope's adopted persona collapse?
Tang Hao raises the Clear Sky Hammer. "Xiao San, look carefully. This is the real Clear Sky Hammer. Our Clear Sky Hammer is the strongest weapon spirit in the world, and it can't be easily destroyed by a sword."
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Chen Xin secretly furrows his brows. It seems Tang Hao has been hiding here for days. He even witnessed the battle between Jun Tianlin and Tang San from a few days ago and is upset that his own spirit body was so easily broken by Jun Tianlin.
"Hmph, you don't even dare admit defeat. You, Tang Hao, appear domineering, but that's all," Chen Xin says disdainfully.
As before, Tang Hao uses the attack on the Pope's Palace as a distraction to force Bibi Dong and the others to retreat, allowing him to take Tang San and Xiao Wu away.
A great battle is avoided in the process.
However, Tang Hao's arrogant behavior today has undoubtedly made Spirit Hall lose face.
"Your Highness, I deeply regret that the 100,000-year soul beast was stolen. Today's business is finished, and I believe we should bid farewell and leave," Ning Fengzhi steps forward with a smile.
The course of events unfolds exactly to his liking. Spirit Hall does not get the 100,000-year spirit beast, and Tang Hao finally makes his appearance, striking a major blow to Spirit Hall right from the start.
Ning Fengzhi's smile is full of regret, but Bibi Dong can detect a hint of mockery. She angrily waves her hand. "Master Ning, please do as you wish. Spirit Hall has many important matters to attend to recently. I'm afraid I cannot accommodate you further. Please leave the Spirit City as soon as possible."
"Goodbye!" Ning Fengzhi says, and departs with Shrek, the Emperor Team, and all other colleges from the Tiandou Empire.
At this moment, Bibi Dong looks back at Jun Tianlin's figure. If it were possible, she would force him to stay, but this is not the right time. She must not act within Spirit City. It would be shameful to start a war. She needs to wait until the secret plans laid by Spirit Hall in the two empires, as well as the major kingdoms and principalities, are complete. Only then can she act. If she strikes too early, she will find herself surrounded by enemies.
As for sending people to assassinate him, it's out of the question. Not only is Jun Tianlin difficult to deal with, but he is now surrounded by Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and Thunder Douluo. Unless someone in the Worship Hall is willing to take action, what kind of lineup could Spirit Hall possibly send to kill Jun Tianlin?
After leaving Wuhun City, Jun Tianlin releases his control over Yu Xiaogang, and Flanders is revived by Ning Fengzhi.
Once the control is released, Yu Xiaogang glares at Jun Tianlin coldly "Jun Tianlin, you controlled me just now, didn't you? If Xiao San's father hadn't appeared and saved Xiao San, if Xiao San had died because of you, I would've held you accountable for it."
He doesn't shout or lose control. He has been discriminated against since childhood and is very adept at restraining his emotions.
But when he speaks, he doesn't hold back, and the hot-tempered individual beside him can't stand it.
"Have you had enough of causing trouble?" Yu Xiaogang is suddenly slapped to the ground by Yu Yuanzhen "You rashly offended Spirit Hall. Do you think you can save Tang San? If it weren't for nephew Tianlin who saved you just now, you would've died from Chrysanthemum and at the hands of the old ghost."
"You're ungrateful and dare to threaten nephew Tianlin? How can you carry the surname of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Father?" Yu Xiaogang looks at his furious father, covering his face and not daring to speak.
"Forget it, Your Highness Thunder, the one I truly wanted to save is someone else, and I don't need his thanks." Jun Tianlin shakes his head, speaking indifferently.
"I know it's me you wanted to save, right? It's because of Xiao Qin." Flanders looks at Qin Ming seriously "Xiao Qin, you've already helped me enough. No matter how much favor Shrek has done for you before, you've repaid it now. From here on out, you must live for yourself."
"Teacher, I..."
Qin Ming wants to speak but is interrupted by Flanders. "Don't say more. I'm tired. From now on, I'll find a place in Tiandou City to live out my old age. You, Oscar, and Hongjun were always my most valued disciples. Now that you've all joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, I can rest easy. Haha."
Flanders smiles sadly. From what he says, it's clear he doesn't intend to continue running Shrek. He has noticed that ever since Yu Xiaogang came, all of his future plans for the children have been altered to focus on Tang San, most notably Oscar. Originally, Oscar was meant to focus on supplying resources, but now his role has shifted to one of amplification. Thankfully, the intervention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has stopped him from achieving this goal. Although Shrek Academy still ostensibly belongs to Flanders, it was originally Blue Tyrant Academy, and most of the students and teachers still recognize Liu Erlong. With her full support, Shrek has become almost entirely controlled by Yu Xiaogang.
He is tired now. At this point, he is only concerned about the children he truly cares for, and they have found their place in life. He just wants to spend his remaining years with old friends like Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin, sharing drinks and stories.
