Chapter 26 Stick to your heart
The flames burned, and the three of them sat around the fire.

Although they stopped to rest during the journey, the fatigue brought by a whole day's journey made the young man Zhang Jian breathe heavily while eating dry food.

Although Wang Lin next to him was also a little tired, he was in much better spirits than Zhang Jian.

Zhang Peng showed no signs of fatigue at all, and one could only say that he was worthy of being called a Super Douluo.

After finishing the dry food, Zhang Jian fell asleep, while Wang Lin sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.

call out!
The breeze blew by, seemingly without noticing that the red maple forest seemed to have grown a little darker.

Crack!

The red firelight shone on Zhang Peng's dark face, which was not handsome, creating a unique sense of weirdness.

Zhang Peng stared at the fire with his deep purple eyes, and from time to time he looked at Zhang Jian who was asleep beside him. He didn't know if he had the same admiration for talent as Long Xiaoyao.

Suddenly, an old voice came from the woods opposite Zhang Peng.

"Why, the vicious scorpion tiger also has a heart for talent?"

Then a tall figure walked out of the dense forest, with a look of deep fatigue on his rosy face like a baby.

"Master Long, how can someone like me accept a disciple?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Peng withdrew his gaze from Zhang Jian and looked up at Long Xiaoyao who had walked to the opposite side of the campfire and sat down. Naturally, he noticed the fatigue on Long Xiaoyao's face.

"Is the situation very difficult, Mr. Long?"

"I got it. If the poison doesn't kill this kid, if he's given another twenty years, he won't be weaker than his brother."

As he spoke, a rare look of nostalgia appeared on Long Xiaoyao's face, but it soon disappeared. He looked up at Zhang Peng and noticed the worry on Zhang Peng's face.

"Why, are you afraid that your new disciple will suffer the same fate as you?"

"Yeah." Zhang Peng nodded.

“Actually, don’t worry. If you accept a disciple, you still have this kid. He has the ability to purify.” Long Xiaoyao said, pointing at Wang Lin who was meditating to recover his soul power.

"That's true, but even if he doesn't have that purification ability, as long as Zhang Jian doesn't go astray, Wang Lin will guarantee Zhang Jian's safety."

Zhang Peng spoke up, and then directly told Long Xiaoyao the conversation between him and Wang Lin.

"He has a good character, and he has the demeanor of an old man when he was young."

Long Xiaoyao smiled as he listened.

"Then what are you afraid of? Just accept a disciple. As for your problem, don't worry too much. It's all about that old guy Moon."

"Mr. Long, if Mr. Mu hadn't been willing to let me go, I might not have survived."

Zhang Peng was interrupted by Long Xiaoyao halfway through his words.

"Bullshit, Zhang Peng, you can tell this to the people of Shrek Academy, but if it weren't for that old guy Moon, how could you end up hanging out with me now!?"

"Mr. Long." Zhang Peng obviously didn't want to discuss this issue too much.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Long Xiaoyao looked helpless, snorted coldly, and said no more.

Soul masters like Zhang Peng have actually always been in the gray area between soul masters and evil soul masters.

Simply put, there is a problem with the martial soul, but there is nothing wrong with the behavior.

So, in Long Xiaoyao's opinion, Zhang Peng's situation was Moon's fault.

Zhang Peng himself is a soul master in this gray area. As long as he has not harmed anyone, even if someone has opinions about him, it will not affect Zhang Peng's legitimacy in the soul master world.

But Moon beat Zhang Peng without hesitation, and then realized that he had hit the wrong person. It was actually okay not to apologize, after all, Moon's fist was bigger. If it was Long Xiaoyao who beat Zhang Peng, he would not apologize either. Zhang Peng could only blame himself for being unlucky. As the saying goes, Long Xiaoyao's fist was bigger.

But Moon should never have labeled Zhang Peng, as this would have caused big problems.

What is Moon En’s identity? He is the white dragon, one of the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons - Dragon God Douluo. The name of the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons was earned by Long Xiaoyao and Moon En when they were young, by killing one evil soul master after another.

As soon as Dragon God Douluo said this, he nominally said that Zhang Peng had never harmed anyone and spared Zhang Peng's life.

But the sentence "Zhang Peng is no longer allowed to be born, otherwise he will be killed" directly turned Zhang Peng, a soul master originally in the gray area, into an evil soul master that everyone wanted to kill overnight.

Poor Zhang Peng was not yet a real evil soul master, but he was beaten up for no reason and became an evil soul master overnight.

When Long Xiaoyao found Zhang Peng, he discovered that he had not fallen into an evil soul master. You know, it is very easy for a soul master like Zhang Peng to fall into an evil soul master.

If Long Xiaoyao had experienced all of this himself, he would not be able to guarantee that he would still be able to stick to his original intention.

It can be seen that Zhang Peng has a strong character, but in the end he was still dragged into the Holy Spirit Church's worship hall and became one of the twelve worshippers of the evil soul master.

If Moon had been willing to bring Zhang Peng into the Poseidon Pavilion and protect Zhang Peng.

Now Zhang Peng might become a capable general of the Shrek Supervisory Group, and at the same time he can serve as a role model for those soul masters who are in the gray area.

If this were the case, the Holy Spirit Church's worship hall would never be established.

Most of the soul masters in the worship hall are in the gray area who have problems with their martial souls but are unwilling to become evil soul masters.

If they had a place to go, these people would naturally choose to join the Holy Spirit Church's worship hall.

But with nowhere to go, the Dragon Emperor Douluo, who became famous for killing evil soul masters, became the chief priest of the Holy Spirit Church, setting a "good" example for these powerful people.

Then the Holy Spirit Church's worship hall naturally became the best place for these powerful people.

If it weren't for him, Long Xiaoyao, most of them would still be hiding in some dark corner, away from the world.

Instead of becoming an accomplice of the Holy Spirit Church in aiding and abetting its atrocities.

So rather than saying that Long Xiaoyao was blaming Moon En, he was actually blaming himself. He knew that Moon En was wrong, but his mistake was even bigger and could not be forgiven.

"Don't pretend now that you're awake, kid." Long Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Wang Lin, who was still meditating with his eyes closed.

"Haha, hello, Master!"

Wang Lin opened his eyes, scratched his head, and laughed.

"Boy, let me ask you a question. If your martial spirit needs to absorb blood and souls and kill lives in order to practice, what would you do?"

Long Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

"Uh, after killing someone, will my martial spirit affect me?" Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"Of course not. Evil soul masters are basically those whose martial souls mutate due to stimulation before their martial souls awaken. Few are affected by their martial souls because martial souls are just martial souls."

Long Xiaoyao began to explain.

"Of course it's killing people to practice."

As soon as Wang Lin said this, Long Xiaoyao and Zhang Peng's faces instantly turned cold.

"It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but it's not easy to find a two-legged bad guy! Four empires, a whole continent, bad guys are endless. Power is innocent, the key is to look at the person who holds the power, and stick to your original intention."

Not caring about the changes in Long Xiaoyao and Zhang Peng's expressions, Wang Lin just spoke to himself.

“Power is innocent. The key is the people who hold the power and stick to their original intentions.” Zhang Peng couldn’t help but be dazed when he heard this.
