970: Goodbye Mu Qianjun, back to the Shield City

It's not easy to find two teammates who are good in all aspects and meet the requirements to become teammates in such a short time, when everyone of the same age group already has their own team, and in a vast sea of people.

Although it's not easy, it's not impossible to find candidates.

Having read the entire book, Du Xingchen still had a clear memory of some talented people in the book who were not part of the protagonist group.

Compared to the members of the protagonist group, those candidates were probably only lacking in Luck.

"I'll handle this matter. However, Qing Youyu, Liangcai Sword, and Sun Yingying, you three need to work harder on your Cultivation. The exotic beasts for your Fifth Soul Cards are already prepared. Now, it's just a matter of fusing them for you."

Du Xingchen did not leave the trouble of finding new teammates to these teammates.

After all, they couldn't help, and it was better to bury themselves in Cultivation instead.

"The exotic beasts for the Fifth Soul Card are all prepared? Mine is also prepared?" Liangcai Sword asked in confusion.

"The exotic beasts that will provide you with Soul Cards will be here in a moment." Du Xingchen recalled the message from the Grand Sage Master in the Jiaomang Mountain Range earlier, and the time was about right.

After the Cultivation progress of these three teammates' Fourth Soul Tokens improves, their overall strength will increase again.

...

Returning to his residence, Du Xingchen began to ponder some current difficulties.

There wasn't much time left until the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, and finding teammates was something that needed to be put on the agenda.

Moyun had probably returned to the School by this time and started using huan ling grass to help Ning Bing wake up.

And the Dean must have learned about his and the Giant Rhino's situation from Moyun. That Grand Sage Master Peak guy wouldn't stay put.

Also, the Goddess, after leaving the protagonist's side, definitely returned to the Divine Hall.

And the Goddess in the Divine Hall, the power she could use was extraordinary.

Only by staying in Jiangshan City, with Lord Jiangshan, the Supreme, by his side, was he relatively safe.

If he and the protagonist group left Lord Jiangshan's side, they might be hunted down by people sent by that woman, the Goddess!

He just didn't know if Mu Qianjun, the first high-level member of the Divine Hall he had contacted, could be reached.

Logically speaking, the Secret Realm that the God's Temple First Team geniuses entered at this time should have been completely closed, and those people were in the process of digesting their gains.

And Mu Qianjun, this guy, didn't need to accompany the Divine Hall geniuses. When he had nothing to do, he should come looking for him.

After all, whether it was his current connection with Jiangshan or his position in the protagonist group, it was worth him coming.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Suddenly, a polite knock appeared at the door.

Looking up, Du Xingchen's eyes narrowed, and he held his breath.

Just thinking about something makes it appear, speak of the devil!

This guy was none other than Mu Qianjun, who had initially agreed to become a Divine Hall spy, one of the five Divine Disciple Elders of the Divine Hall!

"After some time apart, little friend, whether it's your strength, influence, or status, earth-shattering changes have occurred. This is truly beyond my expectation." Mu Qianjun spoke slowly, breaking the silence between the two.

"Greetings, Senior!" Du Xingchen did not neglect him and quickly stood up to bow: "Without Senior's guidance, this Junior would not have reached this point."

"Hehe." Mu Qianjun smiled without a smile, showing no change from the disdain he had shown when they first met.

Even at this moment, with Jiangshan, the Supreme, as his backer, in Mu Qianjun's eyes, he was still not worth mentioning and could not attract his slightest attention.

"Recently, I heard information about you from the Goddess in the Divine Hall. To be honest, after learning about your background and experiences, I was also very surprised." Mu Qianjun sighed.

Then, getting straight to the point, he said: "You should know that the one who killed your Father was someone from the Divine Hall, right?"

"Joining my Divine Hall with this hatred, how can I trust you? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Mu Qianjun spoke each word clearly, but his expression didn't show much coldness. More than that, after stating this information, he observed Du Xingchen's facial expression.

"The Divine Hall killed my Father?" Hearing this, Du Xingchen had a clear understanding in his heart, while a smile appeared on his face as he shook his head: "Senior, have you investigated this Junior's background? If so, then you should also know that it wasn't the Divine Hall that killed my Father, but Eboer, who was disguised as a Divine Hall follower, right?"

Eboer was the Dean of their protagonist group's School!

Du Xingchen knew the original work and naturally understood this point.

However, the original owner in the original work, because of the scene he saw under the bed as a child, the clothes of the Divine Hall members he saw, developed extreme hatred towards the Divine Hall.

Later, when destroying the Divine Hall, he spared no effort!

If Mu Qianjun were asking the original owner at this moment, the original owner would have already exposed his hatred towards the Divine Hall by now.

In that situation of misunderstanding, the Divine Hall would not explain, but would only eliminate Du Xingchen, this hidden danger.

After all, it was something people had believed for more than ten years. As the true culprit in their eyes, explaining was too weak and pale. It was better to kill him and eliminate the hidden danger once and for all.

Now, when Du Xingchen himself revealed the truth of this matter, the situation was completely different.

He himself knew the truth and the real situation!

Then there was no barrier between him and the Divine Hall to speak of.

After hearing Du Xingchen's words, the indifference on Mu Qianjun's face lessened, replaced by a hint of relief: "You know about this?"

"If I didn't know, I would definitely hate the Divine Hall now, so how could I risk approaching you and suggesting becoming a spy?" Du Xingchen used these words to respond to the other party's thoughts upon coming.

"Hahaha, I said my judgment wasn't wrong. You are very suitable to become a member of my Divine Hall." Saying this, Mu Qianjun clasped his hands behind his back: "Do you need me to help you get rid of your Dean?"

"I want to avenge this myself."

"Good, it's best to avenge such a patricide yourself." Mu Qianjun nodded slightly, his attitude much better than before: "You don't need to worry about the Goddess. With me here, she can't harm you in the slightest."

Mu Qianjun's words were not empty boasts.

Among the many Elders in the Divine Hall, although his seniority was very low, the mere identity of a Divine Disciple Elder directly elevated his status to the topmost circle of the Divine Hall!

Du Xingchen nodded with a look of gratitude.

In reality, he understood that this was all because the value of him as a spy had doubled, which was why Mu Qianjun was so easy to talk to and cared about him.

Du Xingchen wasn't displeased by this. Everyone in the world was like this, which was normal.

"Also, the Divine Hall deacon you imprisoned in Jiangshan City, I have already taken him away. You can just tell the outside world that the Divine Hall has taken him away." Mu Qianjun had two purposes for coming. One was to inspect Du Xingchen's situation, and the other was to rescue the Divine Hall Grand Sage Master who was captured by Lord Jiangshan while trying to join the fun.

And since he had arrived here without a sound, he had naturally also taken that Grand Sage Master away without a sound.

As for the ransom, that was impossible.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior." Du Xingchen appropriately flattered him.

In Mu Qianjun's view, his words meant that the situation forced them to arrest the Divine Hall deacon as well.

If they had publicly released the Divine Hall deacon outside, everyone would speculate whether Jiangshan had some kind of connection with the Divine Hall.

Mu Qianjun's actions at this moment were giving him a way out.

Furthermore, the fact that the Divine Hall did not pursue the matter was the best situation.

"Ten days from now, I will come to see you again. At that time, I will bring you the Divine Disciple Inheritance. Then, no one will question your loyalty to the Divine Hall anymore." Having obtained the information he wanted, Mu Qianjun left this announcement and disappeared.

Du Xingchen's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.

However, a sense of urgency welled up in his heart.

The Divine Disciple Inheritance had finally arrived!

To put it simply, this inheritance was a contract used by the God to purchase a person's Soul and body!

Once the inheritance was activated, he would be a servant of the God forever!

To countless people, this was the great grace of God, a blessing, a fortune cultivated for eight lifetimes!

But in Du Xingchen's opinion, even selling himself to the System was a thousand times better than selling himself to the so-called God!

When he first met Mu Qianjun, Du Xingchen dared to say that he would let the other party directly bind himself with the Divine Disciple Inheritance to prove his loyalty, because he knew that Mu Qianjun could not have had a Divine Disciple Inheritance quota at that time.

After so many days, this Divine Disciple Inheritance was still coming.

There were only ten days.

In the original work, there was almost no passage describing how to calmly deal with and overcome this kind of situation.

Unless he completely broke ties with the Divine Hall and didn't accept the Divine Disciple Inheritance... this was the worst option.

There was no way in the book...

Thinking of this, Du Xingchen's gaze fell on the System panel in front of him: "System, I can only rely on you to resolve this crisis."

Only through the System, something that did not belong to the original work, could he find a way to calmly break the situation.

This was Du Xingchen's only thought and the only help he could get to break the situation.

Of course, he also understood.

To get a way to break the situation from the System, he couldn't delay earning lottery chances.

The wool comes from the sheep, and he still had to go find the protagonist to fleece.

...

The next day.

Outside Jiangshan City.

Du Xingchen and a few teammates arrived in front of a prepared convoy.

"Xingchen, actually, I think there are still places to train in the Outer Domain. Is it a bit too early to go back now?" Wen Xiucheng and a few teammates stood beside the carriage and looked at Du Xingchen.

Du Xingchen looked at the distant land that was all yellow sand extending to the horizon and said slowly: "It's not early. It's time to go back to School as soon as possible and adjust ourselves."

In fact, he understood that the reason Wen Xiucheng hesitated to speak was because the Giant Rhino had hit him too hard.

The Teacher he had been with day and night was an accomplice in the ruin of his Family.

Thinking of that School, Wen Xiucheng didn't even want to face it.

"Boss Wen, although we all know that it was the Demon Hall that destroyed your Family, we also need to understand the real source and the real truth of the matter. The Dean might know more information." Liangcai Sword advised from the side.

"What if the Dean is also one of the culprits?" Wen Xiucheng suddenly blurted out this sentence.

The appearance of these words made Liangcai Sword, Qing Youyu, and Sun Yingying hold their breath.

For some unknown reason, the words 'Be careful of the Dean' that the Giant Rhino said before dying a few days ago still seemed to echo in everyone's ears.

"If that's the case, then blood for blood!" Du Xingchen's voice appeared in everyone's ears.

This simple and direct sentence calmed their emotions a little.

"Yes, Brother Wen, this time Lord Jiangshan has even sent two Grand Sage Masters to accompany us. If we really find out later that the Dean is the culprit who ruined your Family, just let the two Grand Sage Masters take action!" It was Sun Yingying who said this. After she finished speaking, she continued: "Besides, when we get to Shield City, I can also contact my Gaopeng Family and ask Grandpa Huipao to come over. We don't need to be afraid of the Dean at all!"

Wen Xiucheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This wasn't fear, but reluctance to face it.

He was brought to the School by the Dean as a child and escaped the pursuit of the Demon Hall. He also grew up under the Dean's education and guidance. In his heart, the Dean was like his Father.

If the Dean was really the culprit who ruined his Family, he didn't know what to do.

He exhaled a breath of Turbid air, looked at Du Xingchen, and then still stepped onto the carriage.

Under Du Xingchen's leadership, everyone finally embarked on the journey back.

The exotic beasts that provided the Fifth Soul Cards for Liangcai Sword and the two women were still kept in Jiangshan City for them.

Jiangshan had to stay in Jiangshan City to collect the money for ransoming people and couldn't leave at the moment.

With Mu Qianjun's guarantee, Du Xingchen didn't have to worry about the Goddess sending people to hunt him down, so there was no need to trouble Jiangshan to follow and protect him.

"
