933: Goddess, you don’t want Mu Yun to know about this, right?

"That's the only way. If Giant Rhino Teacher can't do anything, it's also good for us to help Wen Xiucheng with his final affairs within our capabilities." Du Xingchen spread his hands, not telling the woman more information.

He knew the Demon Hall wouldn't kill Wen Xiucheng directly, and he also understood that under the correction of the plot, Wen Xiucheng would most likely escape from the hands of the Demon Hall's people.

But regarding these things, he had no intention of telling Qing Youyu.

Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, it was also unnecessary.

Keeping the other party tied to the current team, there was no need for extra comfort or persuasion; just blocking her with strength was enough.

"You!" Seeing the A Man's attitude, Qing Youyu was instantly enraged.

As she clenched her fists, what she grasped was a patch of cold sand on the ground.

"Go back. You can't leave until Teacher comes back."

"Of course, you can try to escape a few more times, as long as you can withstand my fists."

Du Xingchen's concluding words left Qing Youyu feeling powerless.

Looking up at the A Man in front of her, she still couldn't believe that she had actually been defeated by him!

And she lost so completely!

This guy's strength was truly hidden too deeply!

After leaving this sentence, Du Xingchen said no more and walked straight past the woman.

After such a training session, she probably understood that she could only return to the team now.

If she was stubborn and ran again, Du Xingchen would just chase her.

Anyway, he had the Treasure Hunting Plate, and as long as she didn't run too far, he could immediately find her location.

After leaving Qing Youyu's side, Du Xingchen headed in another direction in the Desert.

When he came out of the Stronghold at that time, he saw with the Treasure Hunting Plate that besides Qing Youyu, there was another place in the sandy area outside shining with the brilliance of a treasure.

This made him a little curious.

The direction he was heading now was exactly that direction.

"Buzz~"

Not long after he started moving, Du Xingchen noticed some movement in his storage bracelet.

With a thought, a golden token appeared in his hand.

This was the Divine Hall member certification given to him by the Divine Hall Divine Disciple Elder Mu Qianjun back then, representing a remarkable status, and at the same time, this token was also his communication device with the Divine Hall.

Since he had been in the Outer Domain for so long, he hadn't been able to contact anyone from the Divine Hall.

This time, someone from the Divine Hall actually contacted him proactively.

And as he took out the token, a message was also transmitted.

"Come outside the 16th Stronghold. This Prince is waiting for you under a large dead tree five miles away. Be careful not to be discovered."

As the message was transmitted, Du Xingchen's expression slightly darkened.

Amidst the swirling sand, a thoughtful look appeared between his brows.

The moment he heard the message, he immediately knew who had sent it to him.

It must be that Goddess from the Divine Hall!

Taking out the Treasure Hunting Plate and confirming again, he finally understood.

So the seemingly treasure-like light spot was the God Bloodline within the Goddess's body.

Liangcai Sword and Sun Yingying also each had a God Bloodline, and at this moment, there were four bright spots on the Treasure Hunting Plate.

Fortunately, there was only one Treasure Hunting Plate in this world, and it hadn't fallen into the hands of the Demon Hall.

Otherwise, the Demon Hall would probably go crazy with killing.

Putting away the Treasure Hunting Plate, Du Xingchen thought about the situation he would face next while rushing towards the location the Goddess had indicated.

After all, he still needed the Divine Hall's help. Since he needed it, he couldn't ignore that woman.

A moment later.

Du Xingchen arrived at the location.

There were only a few withered branches on the dry old tree. The swirling sand was even embedded in the tree trunk, showing the harsh environment of the place and the ancient years it had endured.

This was the only tree in this area, so it wasn't hard to find.

"You came quite fast. If you had lingered any longer, this Prince would have thought you no longer had this Prince in your eyes." A cold and arrogant female voice came from the side of the dead tree.

Then, a woman dressed simply but with a noble look in her eyes walked out.

"Greetings, Goddess." Du Xingchen didn't say anything, bowing neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Let me ask you, today this Prince wanted you to help Moyun prove his innocence, why did you ignore it?" The woman's first sentence went straight to the point.

The tone of questioning was quite clear.

"Goddess, your subordinate was with his teammates all day yesterday. Those teammates are perfectly clear about what I did. In that situation, how could I casually fabricate non-existent things to clear Moyun's suspicion?"

"If I were to forcefully defend Moyun, I'm afraid your subordinate would be directly Exposed." Du Xingchen began to act pitiful and make up stories.

"Afraid of being Exposed? Exposed that all of this was done by you?!" The Goddess snorted coldly, her tone even more severe: "In Shield City, you spread Wen Xiucheng's real identity information, arranged for people from the Divine Hall to recruit people from the Demon Hall into the caravan, thereby allowing the people from the Demon Hall to attack you in the Relic Ancient City!"

"If I hadn't just gone to investigate, I really wouldn't have known that you, this seemingly harmless guy, were the mastermind behind everything!"

"Du Xingchen, what exactly do you want to do?!"

The woman had not a trace of gentle attitude. Under her scolding voice, she even wanted to hit and curse.

"Everything your subordinate has done is for the Divine Hall." Du Xingchen replied calmly, then added an explanation: "The Divine Hall noticed this team from Yunyong Academy early on, wasn't it because the forces behind these people were powerful, and they were worried that if they united, their future growth would cause a series of troubles? Your subordinate has now disbanded it, which is exactly what the Divine Hall hopes to see."

"Then why did you put this blame on Moyun because of your plan?!" The Goddess couldn't find any loopholes in Du Xingchen's explanation, but it didn't prevent her from questioning him because of Moyun.

Without waiting for Du Xingchen to speak, the Goddess directly issued an order: "In short, within two days, you must help Moyun clear his suspicion and make Moyun return to your team!"

"Otherwise, I can only act on behalf of the Divine Hall and tell Moyun and your teammates everything you did in secret, sacrificing you in exchange for Moyun's return to the team."

As the woman finished speaking, Du Xingchen sighed, saying somewhat helplessly: "If Goddess really does that, your subordinate can only let Moyun also know the Goddess's true identity."

"Haha, this Prince's identity is not something that can't be revealed. What if Moyun knows? On the contrary, after this Prince helps him clear his suspicion, he will definitely be grateful to me." The Goddess didn't feel any threat in Du Xingchen's words.

"Is that so?" Du Xingchen put his hands behind his back, without a trace of respect: "Does Goddess not know that it was the Divine Hall that killed Moyun's parents?"

"If Moyun were to know that Goddess is the daughter of his parents' killer..."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Du Xingchen looked at the Goddess whose pretty face had sunk, and said casually: "Actually, it wouldn't be much. Goddess is powerful, and Moyun definitely couldn't pose any threat to you. At most, he would just declare a break with Goddess and become an enemy."

"But in my opinion, you, Goddess, don't want Moyun to know about this now, right?"

"You're threatening me?!" At this moment, the woman finally realized how powerful Du Xingchen's move of revealing her identity was. She had gone to so much effort to get close to Moyun, how could she possibly allow him to break ties with her!

While somewhat surprised that Du Xingchen knew these secrets she didn't even know, her tone also carried intense anger.

"I wouldn't dare. Your subordinate just hopes that Goddess will not forget the Divine Hall for the sake of A Man."

"Your subordinate is working for the Divine Hall. If Goddess obstructs, I can only separate you, Goddess, and Moyun."

While Du Xingchen pulled out the big banner of the Divine Hall, he also deeply planted the threat.

Perhaps this approach was a bit too bold, but in order to keep the woman in check and prevent her from doing things like a useless teammate, this was the only way.

"Bastard!" Cursing angrily, the Goddess clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "You are forcing this Prince to kill you now!"

"Alright." An old voice suddenly appeared from the void.

The next moment, in a daze, Du Xingchen saw a hunched Old man wearing simple linen clothes appear not far from him and the Goddess.

The moment he saw the other party, Du Xingchen knew their identity.

Divine Hall Elder, Hemp Robe Supreme!

All the Supreme Experts in the world were restricted to their respective strongholds and couldn't act, but this restriction was useless to the Divine Hall, which made the rules.

Under circumstances that were not open and aboveboard, such a Supreme Expert had actually been sent to the Outer Domain!

Of course, the Divine Hall sending a Supreme Expert over was more for the safety of the Goddess.

This was also why Du Xingchen didn't go too far when he spoke earlier.

The lines also revealed the reason for his respect towards the Divine Hall.

He knew the temperament of this old Divine Hall antique, Hemp Robe Supreme.

You can disrespect the Goddess, but you must respect the Divine Hall!

As long as you maintain this point, there won't be any big problems.

"Goddess, you've made enough fuss. Don't make things difficult for this Child anymore; he is also working for the Divine Hall." Hemp Robe Supreme spoke to persuade.

Hearing this, the Goddess, whose aura was surging, suppressed it in annoyance and turned to look at Du Xingchen hatefully: "If you tell Moyun that I am the Divine Hall Goddess, you are dead for sure!"

"If Goddess does not expose your subordinate's identity, your subordinate naturally wouldn't dare to let Moyun know your identity."

"When this matter is over, this Prince will make you regret it!" Leaving behind the last angry words, the Goddess glanced at Hemp Robe Supreme who had appeared beside her at this time, and walked away without a good expression.

On the sand under the dead tree, Hemp Robe Supreme looked at Du Xingchen: "Young man, your methods are good."

"I hope to see you in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination as well."
