Zhang Lexuan just smiled contemptuously. She had completely seen through this group of people.
Compared to returning to the academy to continue being the respected Eldest Senior Sister who could not get what she loved, she would rather be the woman behind the Demon King.
It was true that the Demon King Huo Yuhao was a philanderer, but he had indeed given a deeply affectionate response to every girl who truly liked him and had given their all for him.
If not for this, they would not have come here to rescue the Phoenix Holy Maiden, Ma Xiaotao.
"Ruoruo, Ming'er, Yaoyao, if you still recognize me as your Eldest Senior Sister, then listen to my advice: leave Shrek, go to the outside world, and from the mouths of all kinds of people, learn about the other side of the academy that you don't know."
Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment, but still said seriously to Han Ruoruo and the others.
Unexpectedly, the first to respond to her was Wu Ming, who was known as the Sun Holy Maiden. She just shook her head, "I choose to follow Eldest Senior Sister directly. The academy wants this old lady to sacrifice her own happiness to win over those crooked melons and split dates from the outside sects. They've got their priorities mixed up. I'm just a student."
Wu Feng had not expected this senior sister to see things so clearly. She then thought of something and asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Wu Ming, you haven't really fallen for that fatty, have you?"
Wu Ming's pretty face turned red. With her personality, she unexpectedly did not refute, "When I chose Xie Huanyue during the blind date, it was actually at Elder Mu's instruction. However, I feel that in this world, only that guy is worthy of this old lady. Someone like Huo Yuhao is too much of a scumbag."
After speaking, she took the initiative to stand by Zhang Lexuan's side, condensing her soul power to open a soul power protection for her.
Han Ruoruo took a deep breath. As the oldest student in the former inner court, she couldn't bring herself to stand on the opposite side of the academy, no matter what. But it was undeniable that the academy, under the instigation of Gou Luanshi and the cooperation of Mu En, had held this blind date event that had deeply hurt the inner court disciples.
"I won't help anyone. I came here this time to confirm everyone's thoughts, and then to say goodbye."
Just as Han Ruoruo had not chosen anyone at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention, she did not plan to help anyone now either.
"Alright." Zhang Lexuan looked at this senior sister, who was a few years older than her, with surprise. She hadn't expected there to be such a person in the academy who could distinguish right from wrong so clearly.
"I'll follow Sister Ruoruo. That Tuohai guy just now was too disgusting. He had just held hands with me and left, and he was already trying to 'drive the car'." Hua Yao giggled, held Han Ruoruo's arm, and said.
"'Drive the car'?" The Lan sisters looked at each other. The two of them were still young and didn't quite understand the meaning of this term.
Xixi, however, looked at Ling Luochen with a complicated expression, then turned and walked in the direction of the academy.
She had been with Chen Zifeng for three years. Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword had originally been judged as an evil martial soul by the empire of his birth, and it was the academy that had taken him in. As the saying goes, a wife follows her husband. Xixi couldn't be as free and easy as Ling Luochen. In the end, she chose the camp where her lover was.
The arrival and successive departures of these few people were just a small interlude. Even with the addition of Wu Ming, the situation did not necessarily improve much. After all, apart from Mu En and Ye Xishui, there was still the threat from the two great soul engineer legions. In addition, Huo Yuhao's whereabouts were unknown. If they wanted to leave safely, it probably wouldn't be that easy.
At such a critical juncture, they couldn't always count on Huo Yuhao to turn the tide. If they couldn't even help with this, then there was no need for them to have come here.
The defenses that the Sun Moon Empire had set up in Rising Sun City were too strong. In addition, the enemy was numerous while they were few. If not for the Holy Spirit Cult on the periphery helping to tie down some of the enemy's forces, they would probably have been trapped and killed here.
Even someone as strong as Zhongli Yu, whose martial soul had undergone an ultimate awakening, was at this time entangled by several Class 9 soul engineers and a large group of Class 8 soul engineers. Her own situation was also quite critical. The evil soul master sisters, Wu Yun and Wu Yu, were guarding Zhongli Yu's side. The two of them were already covered in blood, but the life-and-death struggle was also making them stronger and stronger.
"I wonder how that fatty is doing now..." Cui Yajie blasted a turret of the soul engineer legion to pieces with a soul beast cannon, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
She and Xie Huanyue, as the other two members of Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Overload combination, were the strongest among all of Huo Yuhao's companions. Even so, the time given to them to grow was still too short. There was still a considerable gap from a peerless existence like the Dragon God Douluo Mu En.
Of course, they had also not expected that the old man, who had been full of twilight qi back then, would, after obtaining the essence of the Golden Ancient Tree, turn into a big man with such a powerful physical body.
Xie Huanyue's output just now was as fierce as a tiger, but to Mu En, it was just scratching an itch, completely unable to break his defense.
Ji Juechen and Zimu, who had gone to the rescue, were now blocked by Kong Deming. In front of this father of soul tools, the two's decline was fully revealed. Especially Zimu. As a Class 6 soul engineer, he was just a joke in front of Kong Deming.
"Support Ji Juechen and the others first." Ju Zi made a prompt decision. If they couldn't gather their side's existing combat power in one place, there was no way to break this dangerous situation.
"Alright, we'll listen to Ju Zi!" Zhang Lexuan did not hesitate. She had been in the Xie Long army for two and a half years and could be considered to have performed as a combat staff officer should. However, in front of a military strategy genius like Ju Zi, she still seemed a bit lackluster.
"Hm? You plan to use this old man as a breakthrough point?" Seeing the other party's group heading towards him, Kong Deming immediately put away his thoughts of playing with Ji Juechen and Zimu.
"Old thing, eat my cannon!" Wu Feng shouldered a Class 6 soul tool cannon and loaded a stationary soul cannon shell.
"How dare the glow of a firefly compete with the bright moon?" Kong Deming snorted coldly and directly opened a protective shield, sending Ji Juechen and the other flying.
"Nine Treasures, the third is called Soul, the fourth is called Defend!" Ning Tian instantly completed her support for Wu Feng.
Boom!
A cannon shot was fired. Wu Feng's entire body trembled from the huge recoil, and she almost fell to the ground.
Kong Deming was dismissive, "A stationary soul cannon shell? Just a low-level child's toy. Even a Class 8, this old man can block... Ahhhhhh!"
A huge mushroom cloud instantly spread throughout the field. What Wu Feng had just fired was not just an ordinary Class 6 or 7 stationary soul cannon shell. One had to know that not long ago, she had followed Huo Yuhao and completed the disassembly and collection of a pile of level-nine stationary soul cannon shells under the moat.
Thus, Kong Deming, this father of soul tools, staged a comedy of a person face-tanking a level-nine stationary soul cannon shell.
"Is this the power of a level-nine stationary soul cannon shell?" Zhang Lexuan and the other companions immediately dropped to the ground, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at this exaggerated destructive power. No wonder the Sun Moon Empire had never taken the other major empires seriously. If this kind of cannonball were to land in an army formation, how many lives would be taken at once...
At this time, both Bi Ji and Zi Ji, facing Ye Xishui and Mu En, who were far stronger than before, were gradually beginning to fall into a disadvantage. What's more, Bi Ji was not good at fighting in the first place.
