Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Moon's thoughts gradually slipped
"Le Xuan, come here."After completing the mission, Zhang Lexuan heard an old and gentle voice ringing in her ears as soon as she entered the gate of Shrek Academy.
"Yes, Mr. Mu!" Zhang Lexuan bowed slightly, took the ashes left by the strange middle-aged man who self-immolated and disappeared from Han Ruoruo, and headed towards the freshman dormitory building.
After a while, Zhang Lexuan arrived downstairs of the dormitory and stood in front of the old man.
The sunlight fell on Moon's face. He opened his eyes slightly. His dim eyes only showed a little luster in the sunlight, but it could not conceal the fire of life that could be extinguished at any time.
"How's the investigation going?" Moon En asked in a gentle tone as he looked at Zhang Lexuan, who was standing in front of him.
"No clue at all." Zhang Lexuan shook her head slightly and handed the collected ashes to Moon. "With the guidance of a large number of clues, we found a person who sold books, but we didn't get any useful information from him."
"After we surrounded him, he said some very strange things, and finally his whole body turned into ashes in the box."
"Very strange words?" Moon murmured softly, and slowly opened the box in his hand. Looking at the ashes in the box, his eyes became much brighter, and a sharp look quietly flashed across his eyes.
The first time he saw Zhang Lexuan, Moon En noticed the strange aura on her. After opening the box, he found the source of the aura.
"Yes, he said, 'The plan to destroy Shrek was customized by that adult.' He also said that our Shrek is another Spirit Hall and will eventually be destroyed. A new order will be established on the ruins of Shrek to guide people to believe in the true gods." Although Zhang Lexuan was very disdainful of the mysterious middle-aged man's words, she still repeated it to Moon verbatim.
How Moon judges is his business. What Zhang Lexuan needs to do is to tell Moon everything that happened in detail so that he will not be misled.
"A new order, a true god..." Moon stretched out his hand, picked up some ashes with his index finger and thumb, his eyes flickering.
"That sir... ? It seems that things are far from as simple as we imagined. You should go back to the inner courtyard first, and leave the rest to us old bones." Moon said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, Master Mu, I'll take my leave." Zhang Lexuan bowed slightly, turned around and left.
After Zhang Lexuan left, Moon looked at the box full of ashes in his hand, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
The method of puppet clones, and the ability to remotely control the clones to self-immolate. The ashes after self-immolation carry strong mental fluctuations and a hint of weird breath.
Evil soul masters...?
Moon, who had been dealing with evil soul masters all his life, immediately locked his target on them, and the figure of an old friend also emerged in his mind.
"Could it be you?" Moon murmured in a low voice.
With limited information, it's no wonder that Moon would have wrong ideas. Intrigues have always existed among humans, and only humans would spare no effort in civil war.
Unification...division...civil war...and then unification again.
Over and over again.
Don't forget what the true form of the Ten Thousand Demon King is. The four words "Demon Eye Demon Tree" have perfectly described his essential ability. Although the Ten Thousand Demon King disdains to cultivate by devouring a lot like the so-called evil soul masters and evil soul beasts, he has done a lot of such things in his hundreds of thousands of years of life. In addition, because his true form is the Demon Eye Demon Tree, his aura will naturally make Moon, who has the attribute of light, feel hostile.
No different from an evil soul master.
Moon En was not like Xuan Zi. He had come into close contact with evil soul masters and even almost married the leader of the evil soul masters. He naturally understood that the evil soul masters had become powerful after thousands or tens of thousands of years of hunting by Shrek and definitely had their own organization.
And the meaning of the charlatan in Zhang Lexuan's words is needless to say. Apart from those evil soul masters who crave blood and souls every day, who else would be mentally ill, thinking about the new order and the real gods that are so far away?
Apart from the Shrek Seven Devils, what other gods are there in Douluo Continent? (from Moon's perspective)
The most important thing is that the evil soul masters and their Shrek Academy have an irreconcilable feud. They have every reason to attack Shrek Academy!
Ye Xishui:?
Long Xiaoyao:?
Zhongli Wu:?
"They are in the dark and we are in the light. We must not lose our composure when we don't know what the other party wants to do." Moon silently tapped the armrest of the recliner with his fingers. The originally rhythmic tapping sound gradually became rapid under his chaotic thoughts.
For the first time, the pillar of Shrek felt caught in a dilemma.
It is definitely not okay to allow those books to spread freely in Douluo Continent, but it is also inappropriate to ban those books with great fanfare.
The former didn't know what other means they would use to discredit them, nor how much dirty water they would throw at Shrek. The latter would make those smart-minded people who didn't know the reason, who had some brains but not much, think that Shrek was trying to cover up the truth and the more they explained, the worse it was.
"Evil soul master... I have been too kind to you in the past. As a result, you dare to act so recklessly before I am even dead." Moon's thoughts were gradually slipping, and murderous intent was gradually spreading in his heart.
"And that little girl from the outer courtyard..."
Originally, Moon had no intention of arguing with Zhou Yi. In his opinion, Zhou Yi was just a little girl. Although her actions were a bit extreme, she had a sense of responsibility towards Shrek. As long as he guided her well, she would become an excellent teacher who could cultivate good talents.
The reason why Moon En was able to tolerate Zhou Yi before was because Zhou Yi was also a direct descendant of Shrek with a clean background. After graduation, she stayed in Shrek Academy to teach.
But it's no longer possible now. The entire Douluo Continent knows what Zhou Yi has done and will not give Moon En any chance to correct her.
At the beginning, Zhou Yi didn't even pass the entrance exam to the inner courtyard. After graduating from the outer courtyard with the cultivation level of a four-ring soul master, she stayed in school as an assistant teacher of the outer courtyard. It was not until ten years ago that she officially started teaching after breaking through to the soul emperor level.
But in just over ten years, she expelled more students than some other teachers had taught.
Moon...is ready to operate on her.
In the eyes of this far-sighted old man, Shrek today has already become corrupt. From the elders of Poseidon Pavilion to the students of Shrek, all have been blinded by the so-called ten thousand years of glory.
Serious illnesses require strong medicines, and only by cutting the Gordian knot can Shrek continue.
Moon disappeared quietly along with the recliner.
