Some time before the Shrek people were tricked by the Supreme Elder, Xiao Qiang, who was heading to the Xing Luo Empire, approached Jing Hongchen.

"Teacher, forgive me for being blunt, but you think too highly of Shrek and the others."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Jing Hongchen asked slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"We have a great chance of winning against Shrek this time. If we win, teacher, do you think Shrek will let us go, or do you think the Xing Luo Empire will let us go easily?"

"As long as we win this time, or even if we don't win, Shrek or the Xingluo Empire will probably not let us go easily. After all, you are the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun-Moon Empire, and your only two grandchildren are participating in this competition. Add me as your disciple, and if the Emperor of Xingluo gets impulsive, or if Shrek suddenly becomes unreasonable, judging from the people currently sent out to protect us, I am afraid that I, my nephew, and Senior Sister Meng will all be in danger."

"No, it can't be said that the situation is very bad. The people responsible for protecting us this time are too weak. As long as Xingluo Empire or Shrek want to harm us, we will be dead with the few people we have sent out now. Moreover, we may not even be able to retrieve our bodies. It is even possible that Xingluo or Shrek will take out our bodies and ask for Mingde Hall's ninth-level soul guide to exchange them for it."

"Well, and there's a high probability that it's a corpse that has been damaged." Xiao Qiang did not forget to add at the end, making Jing Hongchen really afraid of what might happen.

Although Xiao Qiang has Snow Emperor on his side, that is only his last trump card after all. Once Snow Emperor appears, it is still questionable whether Jing Hongchen can still stand completely on Xiao Qiang's side. Therefore, it is better not to take action on Snow Emperor's side if possible. If he really has to take action, he can only do it cleanly.

In the original novel, Shrek's Xuan Lao used Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to threaten Mingdetang to keep the eighth-level soul guide weapon, the Sword of Judgment.

Xu Tianran's idiotic preparations after the Continental Advanced Soul Instructor Competition in Mingdu were most likely inspired by Shrek Xuan Lao.

It's just that Shrek is a positive character created by Tang Jia San Shao, so what he did was right and he didn't suffer any loss. But when it came to Xu Tianran, it became a completely stupid move, which had no real benefits, but offended a bunch of people, and pushed those soul masters who could have waited for the unification of the continent to the opposite side, forcibly adding a layer of hatred to them.

Jing Hongchen was silent for a while and then nodded. "You're right, I was right too. How could I not have thought of this? With your talents and future possibilities, I never thought that the other party would be desperate."

"Well, you go back first, I will find a few more ninth-level soul masters in the worship hall to go with me."

"Teacher, a few level nine soul masters may not be enough. After all, we are fighting away from home. Once they attack us in groups, even if there are several level nine soul masters, we will be easily defeated. So I have a suggestion. Why don't we do this..."

…………

After discussing with Jing Hongchen, Xiao Qiang and his party set out for Xingluo City, the capital of Xingluo Empire.

Compared with the situation at Shrek, the road at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is really too smooth.

Not to mention that no one died on the road, the soul guide not only ensured the speed of travel, but also ensured that the quality of life along the way was not reduced compared to before. Ma Rulong, the senior with the highest cultivation level, even relied on the advantage of soul power to rush into the sky when he was bored and made an ice cream with the milk he brought.

"It feels a little inferior to Mingdu Hotel." Xiao Qiang, who had booked a year-round stay in the top VIP suite at Mingdu Hotel after plundering the Hongchen family's treasure trove, complained silently.

"It's not good enough, but it's not bad. You guys discuss the tactics against Shrek on your own. We old guys won't take care of the specifics. But you can rest assured. Just kill the Shrek people. We old guys are here to keep the peace for you. As long as it's on the field, it doesn't matter how many people are killed. But you also have to be careful not to be killed by Shrek's people. Life and death are determined by fate on the field. If you die on the field, we old guys can't get you any face. After all, that is the rule that everyone tacitly agrees on."

An old man with fiery red hair said that judging from his aura, he might not even be much worse than Jing Hongchen. Obviously, he was one of the strong men from the Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall that Jing Hongchen had found.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Tianhuo and all the other Your Majesties." Ma Rulong led everyone to pay their respects to the red-haired old man. Then everyone turned on the soul guide to prevent eavesdropping and began to study ways to deal with the Shrek people in the room.

Among them, Ma Rulong and Lin Xi had already participated in the previous Continental Advanced Soul Instructor Competition, but they were only substitutes at that time. However, because of this, they are familiar with this year's opponents.

Soon, the photos of this year's Shrek Seven Devils were thrown on the table.

"Everyone, there are two people we need to pay attention to in this competition. The first one is Dai Yuheng. Five years ago, his soul power reached level 45. It can be said that he is a soul emperor. But the one we should pay the most attention to is not others, but this person."

Ma Rulong pointed to Gong Yangmo's photo. "He was also a Soul Sect member five years ago. Although he may not have reached the Soul Emperor level now, he is the most dangerous one. As long as he is around..."

"Brother Ma, wait a moment." Xiao Qiang raised his hand. He really couldn't bear to hear what tactics Ma Rulong was talking about. The enemy they were facing was wrong from the beginning. As for Ma Rulong's tactics, he looked down on the holy name of Supreme Elder Xuanzi.

"What's wrong?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Actually, you're overthinking it. We don't need to go through so much trouble. This time, our opponent isn't very strong, so there's no need for too many tactics. If you don't understand what I'm saying now, you'll understand once their team officially arrives."

"What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. There are some things I tell you now that you may not believe, but you will know when they get here."

"But it's not good for us to face Shrek without any preparation."

"I am prepared." Xiao Qiang said as he took out a Tang sword. "This is something I prepared specially for this competition. It has a very domineering name, Mirror Flower and Water Moon."

Ma Rulong: "..." Is there something wrong with my understanding? What is so domineering about the four words "Mirror Flower, Water Moon"? (End of this chapter)
