278: Chapter 278 Xuanzi on a Dog Leash, and the Domineering Bibi Dong
"The woman who looks similar to Zi Ji wanted to let that 100,000-year Spirit Beast go. At that moment, Elder Xuan appeared; he wanted to avenge us."
"But Elder Xuan was far from being a match for them; his arm was easily crippled, and his Soul Power Rank dropped significantly. In the end, those three ordered me to return to Shrek Academy and find you, Elder Mu, to ransom Elder Xuan back."
As Zhang Lexuan's voice fell, the scene fell silent.
Mu En was silent, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.
Eventually, he let out a long sigh.
"What troubled times."
"Can Shrek Academy continue its Legacy amidst the changes of this era?"
Mu En was extremely worried.
From afar, the Sun Moon Empire watched like a tiger eyeing its prey, and nearby, the danger of the Star Dou Great Forest existed.
The most urgent matter was that his days were numbered; he only had a few years left to live.
Once he died, Shrek Academy would lose a trump card capable of intimidating the world.
The only one who could serve as a deterrent was the Rank 98 Peak Douluo, Xuan Zi.
Now that Xuan Zi had been captured, Mu En had to ransom Xuan Zi back no matter what.
"Lexuan, I am already aware of this matter. Go back to the Inner Court and rest well; I will ransom Xuan Zi back."
After comforting Zhang Lexuan, Mu En arrived at Yan Shaozhe's office.
"Shaozhe, take ten percent of our Shrek resources, put them into a storage spirit tool, and then rush to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Mu En instructed Yan Shaozhe.
"Teacher, has something happened?"
Seeing Mu En's serious expression, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel curious.
"Xuan Zi has been captured, and the other side wants us to bring resources to ransom Xuan Zi."
Mu En replied.
Upon hearing this, anger rose in Yan Shaozhe's heart.
"They are bullying us too much! Teacher, are we just going to accept this defeat? Besides, that is ten percent of the resources Shrek has accumulated over ten thousand years; even ransoming Elder Xuan shouldn't require so much."
But to this, Mu En only looked at Yan Shaozhe coldly.
"Shaozhe, this is me taking the minimum amount. On the other side, there is at least one powerhouse at the same level as me, and they might even have connections with the Star Dou Great Forest."
"No need to say more; get the resources ready and set off with Teacher."
Knowing Teacher Mu En's intention, Yan Shaozhe had no choice.
"Teacher, this Disciple understands."
After saying this, Yan Shaozhe began to prepare the resources.
As time passed.
Star Dou Great Forest, the ransom location.
Bibi Dong released Xuan Zi from the space Divine Artifact, and after waking Xuan Zi up, she put a dog leash on him and tied him to a tree.
Being humiliated like this, Xuan Zi could not endure it immediately.
"How dare you humiliate this old man like this! A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! If you have the ability, kill this old man!"
Xuan Zi shouted loudly, venting his anger.
Seeing this scene, Qian Renxue snorted coldly and said:
"Old thing, don't think we don't dare to kill you. We are sparing your life to exchange for Shrek's resources."
Hearing this, Xuan Zi's shouting became even louder, attempting to provoke the three women, including Bibi Dong.
He could die, but he could not become a sinner of Shrek.
Not long after.
Mu En and Yan Shaozhe finally arrived at this place.
Seeing Xuan Zi tied to the tree with a dog leash below, neither of them felt good.
Even Mu En, who was usually very deep and calm in the face of trouble, felt anger surging into his heart.
"Three of you, to humiliate our Shrek like this, your actions are too much!"
Yan Shaozhe was even more furious and stepped forward directly.
"Shrek cannot be humiliated!"
"Our Shrek is protected by a Divinity..."
Before he could finish, Yan Shaozhe's right cheek was slapped hard, and he flew backward for hundreds of meters.
"Noisy!"
Bibi Dong said in an icy tone.
He was merely a Rank 95 Super Douluo; he didn't even have the qualifications to make her look at him properly.
At the same time, this slap from Bibi Dong was also a deterrent.
When Mu En saw Yan Shaozhe being knocked away, while he himself had no ability to react beforehand.
He knew that there was big trouble today.
Counting the Zi Ji that Zhang Lexuan described to him, and the domineering Bibi Dong, who was like an Empress before him.
He had to face two Limit Douluos of the same level.
Moreover, the strength of these two Limit Douluos was stronger than his.
"Mu En, control the mouth of your subordinate. Small characters have no right to interrupt our discussion."
Bibi Dong looked at Mu En, her words full of dominance.
By this time, although Mu En was extremely angry inside, he could only silently endure it.
"Shaozhe, come back and stand behind me; speak less."
Mu En said to Yan Shaozhe in the distance.
Yan Shaozhe, whose right cheek was swollen like a pig's face, although resentful in his heart, still honestly returned to Mu En's side and stood there.
"According to your requirements, I have brought ten percent of Shrek Academy's resources to ransom Xuan Zi."
Speaking of this, Mu En glanced at Xuan Zi's severed arm.
"Return Xuan Zi's arm to us as well."
If he didn't get back the arm Xuan Zi had lost, then ransoming Xuan Zi would have been for nothing.
In Mu En's eyes, a Xuan Zi without even Titled Douluo cultivation was completely a consumable.
"Ten percent? Mu En, how much do you underestimate our appetite?"
"I'll give you a number: thirty percent."
Bibi Dong held up three fingers and said to Mu En.
Upon hearing this, Mu En's heart went cold once again.
If thirty percent of Shrek's resources were given away, Shrek would definitely suffer a severe blow to its Origin Qi.
Just as he was thinking about a strategy in his heart.
Yan Shaozhe spoke again, having learned absolutely nothing from the lesson just now.
"Thirty percent is absolutely impossible! Ten percent is already a lot; that is our Shrek's ten thousand years of foundation..."
Again, before he could finish his sentence, Yan Shaozhe's left cheek was slapped hard, and he flew backward for hundreds of meters.
This time, Yan Shaozhe, who had been slapped on both the left and right cheeks, had effectively become a large pig's head.
However, the one who slapped him this time was not Bibi Dong, but Zi Ji.
"Truly noisy. You Shrek people are truly self-righteous and never learn your lessons."
Zi Ji said with a face full of disgust.
"We, Shrek, agree."
Mu En raised his hand and agreed to Bibi Dong's request.
At this moment, Mu En instantly aged several years.
Xuan Zi, tied to the tree with a dog leash, saw this scene and burst into loud wailing, his snot and tears falling to the ground.
"Elder Mu, just let me die."
"I am a sinner of Shrek; we, Shrek, cannot hand over thirty percent of our resources."
But Xuan Zi's wailing did not make Mu En think any higher of him; instead, he felt even more helpless inside.
"Xuan Zi, if you die and get it over with, what will happen to Shrek?"
"This era is confusing and treacherous, and the Sun Moon Empire is watching like a tiger eyeing its prey. Only by living can you lead our Shrek to continue its Legacy."
"If resources are gone, we can earn them back, but if the Academy is gone, it is truly gone!"
Mu En felt disappointed that he couldn't make him live up to expectations.
If Shrek had a successor, he wouldn't be so passive today.
After ransoming Xuan Zi, Mu En had already made a decision: to cultivate Young Master Wu at all costs.
But Mu En did not know that the Young Master Wu he placed high hopes on was actually an undercover agent.
