Chapter 149 Announcement and Departure
The door inside the golden tree opened, and Huo Yuhao, looking tired, walked out.
Everyone gathered around him immediately. Huo Yuhao glanced at them with lifeless eyes and said, "Everyone, Elder Mu wants you to come in. He has something to tell you."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Even Du Bu Si, who was sitting upright, stood up from his chair in shock.
Old Song glanced at Huo Yuhao and said nothing. Instead, he walked in first, followed by the others.
Du Bu Si looked at Huo Yuhao with an inquiring look. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said nothing.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn, and everyone understood Huo Yuhao's subconscious meaning.
Sure enough, a moment later, everyone walked out of the golden tree with red eyes.
Yan Shaozhe subconsciously clenched his fists as soon as he saw Huo Yuhao. Seeing this, Du Bu Si quickly pulled Huo Yuhao behind him.
Old Master Song also stopped Yan Shaozhe in time. He stared at Huo Yuhao and Du Bu Si for a moment, then looked at everyone present and made a declaration with sadness in his tone.
"Everyone, the Sea God Pavilion Master, the current Shrek Academy Dean, and Dragon God Douluo Mu Enmu Lao Yu has just passed away."
Although everyone had this guess in their minds, when the news was officially announced, everyone's reaction was still particularly strong.
Yan Shaozhe was particularly sad and directly revealed his martial spirit. He looked at Huo Yuhao and Du Bu Si with some hatred in his eyes.
"If it weren't for you, my teacher would have lived a little longer. Maybe there would have been a turnaround then. This is all because of you two!"
Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe’s excited expression and secretly complained in his heart, this dean is still too dramatic. Everyone is setting up the stage to perform, but in the end you make yourself the protagonist, right?
In fact, Yan Shaozhe didn’t have many thoughts in his mind. He just finally got a chance to confront Huo Yuhao with a legitimate reason, so Yan Shaozhe naturally had to vent.
After all, he had long disliked this little bastard.
"Boy, today, since Moon's death, I won't bother with you. But if there is a next time, I will let you taste the power of the poison." Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Shaozhe, speaking in a bad tone.
Yan Shaozhe wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qian Duoduo.
Just a few curses will do. You really want to have a good time.
What if this old poisonous creature gets angry and comes to attack you regardless of the consequences?
Yan Shaozhe naturally understood this truth, so he could only pretend to be unwilling and turn around and leave.
Elder Song looked at Du Bu Si and Huo Yuhao and said, “You two, no matter what, you should help. However, given the current situation, please hurry up and leave Shrek Academy.”
Du Bu Si said disdainfully: "Do you really think I like staying here with you?"
Then Du Bu Si grabbed Huo Yuhao and jumped into the air. Without saying a word, he led the strong men of the Body Sect away.
When he was flying in the air, an elder from the Body Sect came up to him and asked if Moon was really dead.
Huo Yuhao said with some sadness: “Old Mu didn’t have much time left to live. I thought I could cure him and prolong his life, but in fact, his physical condition was far worse than we thought. So in the end—”
Huo Yuhao did not continue to say the rest, but the other party already understood what he meant.
Upon hearing the news of Moon's death, the elder of the Body Sect found that he felt more regretful than relieved.
Many of their generation grew up hearing the name of Moon. In the era when they were not yet powerful, Moon could be said to be the most prominent figure in the entire continent.
However, even such a character will eventually die.
This can't help but make people sigh.
During this period, Du Bu Si never expressed any opinions and remained silent from beginning to end.
The group flew for a while, across the entire Tianhun Empire, and finally landed on a mountain shrouded in clouds.
Huo Yuhao looked carefully, but could not see through the clouds in front of him.
"This is the location of the mountain gate of the Body Sect." Du Bu Si waved his hand, and the large cloud in front of him slowly dispersed to both sides, revealing the true appearance of the mountain gate of the Body Sect.
Behind the clouds were endless mountains. There were buildings on each mountain. Huo Yuhao looked closely and could see little people walking between the buildings and on the mountains.
There were both men and women among the villains. Although their appearances could not be seen clearly, it was clear that they were all young and youthful spirit masters.
"The mountain gate here was built during the heyday of the Body Sect. At that time, the name of the Body Sect was known to everyone on this continent. Anyone with a Body Martial Spirit on the continent would come to the Body Sect from afar."
"But things are different now. After that incident, the name of the Body Sect was only circulated among some soul masters. Ordinary people and some new generation soul masters no longer knew about the existence of the Body Sect."
"Because of this, the Body Sect has actually been in a period of transition over the years. The top-level high-end combat power is still abundant, but the number of new generation disciples is pitifully small. To this day, we can't even find a successor."
Du Bu Si looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile and said, "Luckily we found you, Yuhao. The important task of inheriting the sect and passing on the legacy now falls on you."
It was not until now that Huo Yuhao had a sense of reality. He had actually become the heir to the Body Sect?
Become the heir to the Body Sect, one of the three top forces on this continent with thousands of years of history and which has created countless storms in this era?
A strong historical atmosphere blew over him, making Huo Yuhao feel heavy.
Du Bu Si saw Huo Yuhao's condition, smiled, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, "Relax, things in the world are not that difficult."
Huo Yuhao nodded silently.
Then everyone dispersed, and Du Bu Si brought Huo Yuhao to the highest peak, which was covered with brightly colored flowers and plants, and even had a strange fragrance in the air.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat immersed in it for a moment, but the next sentence instantly made Huo Yuhao sober up.
“This is my residence. From now on, you—” Huo Yuhao immediately realized the place where Du Bu Si lives? This big guy is the most powerful spirit master in the contemporary world. His residence is naturally…
Before Huo Yuhao could react, a feeling of dizziness came over him. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and fainted instantly.
When Huo Yuhao woke up again, it was already night.
"You're awake. Take this medicine quickly." Du Bu Si handed a pill to Huo Yuhao in an unnatural manner.
Huo Yuhao looked at him and asked what kind of medicine it was.
"This is the antidote I have. You don't have to worry about being poisoned next time you come here."
Du Bu Si explained that the Body Sect had not had any new members for a long time. Even though there were poisons in his sect's main peak, the Body Sect was already familiar with them and he regarded these poisons as commonplace.
This led to Huo Yuhao being poisoned as soon as he came in.
But after that there were no problems.
After Huo Yuhao took the medicine, Du Bu Si smiled and introduced the current situation of the Body Sect to Huo Yuhao, including how the sect makes a living, the martial spirits and strengths of the elders in the sect, and which forces the Body Sect currently has a good relationship with, etc.
After saying this, the two of them kept talking until midnight.
It was only at this time that Du Bu Si finally told Huo Yuhao about the situation in the Body Sect. Seeing that it was already late, Du Bu Si stood up and was about to leave. But when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile and asked:
"Moon isn't actually dead, right?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, Du Bu Si turned around and left.
It seemed that he just wanted to ask and didn't expect to hear Huo Yuhao's answer at all.
Huo Yuhao stood there in a daze as he looked at Du Bu Si’s leaving back.
What is this? A mutual respect between rivals?
"Are you saying that Sea God Pavilion Master Moon is dead?" In the palace of Xing Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei looked at the Medical Immortal Douluo who had returned from Shrek Academy in surprise, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I was standing next to Senior Moon when he died." Medical Immortal Douluo answered respectfully. She didn't want to deceive her own emperor, but... just like everyone in Shrek said, the palace is really not a place where secrets can be hidden.
Of course, in addition to Shrek's advice, there was also a sentence that Senior Moon said to her with a smile.
"If you leak this matter out, I will have no choice but to go to Xingluo Imperial Capital for a stroll."
Well, although the old man said it with a smile, who doesn’t know what he meant?
In short, if a level 99 Extreme Douluo tells you that he wants to come to your house for a visit, you can only pray that this big guy just means to come for a visit.
So, according to his heart, Medical Immortal Douluo decisively concealed the matter.
Anyway, this incident has no major impact on the Xing Luo Empire, and even if it does, it is only a good one.
Xu Jiawei sighed. He still had great faith in this Medical Immortal Douluo.
This is of course nonsense. He has been a citizen of the Star Luo Empire since birth and has dedicated his entire life to the Star Luo Empire. Who can not trust such a person?
"According to etiquette, we will send appropriate burial objects to Shrek Academy and publicly express our regret for Senior Moon's passing."
Xu Jiawei gave an order and his men immediately went to do it.
Medical Immortal Douluo looked at Xu Jiawei and silently left the palace.
·····
"Moon is dead."
In an ordinary farmyard in the Sun-Moon Empire, a pale-haired old woman calmly put down the letter in her hand.
The old man who was watering the vegetables in the yard put down the bucket and said calmly, "Almost. He was seriously injured in his early years. It's a great blessing for him to be alive now."
"The intelligence also said that Moon's death was related to the Body Sect, and the relationship between the two parties seems to have deteriorated further."
"Shrek and the Body Sect?" The old man shook his head and said, "The relationship between them has been bad for a long time, not even this little bit."
"Xiaoyao, I feel a little uneasy." The old woman, Ye Xishui, the supreme elder of the Holy Spirit Church, said with a worried look on her face.
Long Xiaoyao came to Ye Xishui and comforted her, "What's wrong? Are you worried that Moon's death was fake?"
"That's right. Although there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about Moon's death this time, I just have a hunch." Ye Xishui looked at Long Xiaoyao seriously and said, "Moon will definitely not die so easily."
"Then I'll go, as a final farewell to this old friend." Long Xiaoyao made the decision quickly.
"Thank you for your help." A hint of tenderness flashed in Ye Xishui's eyes.
It is hard to imagine that these two seemingly kind-looking people are the biggest backers of the Holy Spirit Church, which has caused countless deaths on the continent.
All I can say is that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
He went as soon as he said he would. Long Xiaoyao put down his things, stood where he was, waved his hand, and flew away.
With his speed, he quickly arrived at Shrek Academy.
At this time, Shrek Academy was holding a grand funeral.
It is said that before his death, Moon did not allow his disciples to hold a grand funeral for him, but it is obvious that these disciples did not listen to Moon's last words and still held a rather grand funeral for Moon.
The entire Shrek City was hung with white cloth to worship Moon.
Long Xiaoyao did not walk in openly. With his current identity, walking in openly would only cause trouble and would easily turn this funeral into a farce.
So Long Xiaoyao hid his figure, walked through the crowd, and came to the crystal coffin where Moon was buried.
After just one glance, Long Xiaoyao could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart.
Because he could tell at a glance that his childhood best friend Moon was probably really dead.
Even though they are now on opposite sides, and even though they had different disputes in the past, their friendship is real.
When he just heard the news of his friend's passing, Long Xiaoyao was calm, but when he actually saw his friend's body, Long Xiaoyao's emotions completely collapsed.
He was almost on the verge of tears.
But in the end I endured it.
"Moon, have a safe journey." Long Xiaoyao looked at Moon deeply, as if he was engraving Moon's figure in his mind.
Then he turned and left.
No one in the whole city saw it.
But when he left Shrek Academy, Long Xiaoyao turned around and saw Yan Shaozhe who was handling funeral affairs. He smiled and said, "Moon, you have a good disciple."
What Long Xiaoyao didn't see was that after he left, a human face floated out from the golden tree, and from a distance it looked like a tree demon that had become a spirit.
"The next time we meet, it will be between life and death."
Things in this world are unpredictable, and everyone makes their own choices, which is understandable.
The funeral held by Shrek Academy for Moon was exceptionally grand. Not only did the three major empires send gifts, but even some hidden sects sent people to deliver burial objects.
It can be said that almost all forces sent people to express their condolences, except for one sect, the Benti Sect.
The Benti Sect seemed to be unaware of this matter and did not make any statement on it.
It was also through this opportunity that Shrek Academy spread a whole set of rumors it had fabricated to the entire continent through these people.
For a moment, there was a storm on the continent.
