Chapter 5 The Imperial Carriage Departs! Its Lingering Power Remains
Peace has returned to the world!
At this moment, only Zhao Gao and his group, along with the Shrek Academy members, remained in the forest.
Ying Zheng watched Wei Zhuang leave, then lowered his head again and picked up a memorial.
Let's go!
A calm voice came from Ying Zheng's mouth.
Upon hearing this, the four sword slaves lifted the dragon chariot again and headed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Your Highness, that girl?"
Zhao Gao said in a low voice.
Ying Zheng slowly said, "A 100,000-year-old soul beast has taken human form."
"Your Highness truly has discerning eyes. A 100,000-year-old soul beast has actually appeared in the human world and is living among humans. How interesting!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled and said.
Every choice comes with its price!
Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Zheng paused for a moment, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
When a soul beast chooses to transform into human form and appears among humans, the outcome seems predetermined.
Zhao Gao glanced at Ying Zheng, who was reviewing memorials, and seemed to be thinking about something before nodding slightly.
Zhao Gao did not continue to ask whether they should capture this 100,000-year-old soul beast.
If Your Highness needs it, you will naturally ask!
The Shrek Seven Devils, watching the dragon chariot disappear into the distance, relaxed their solemn expressions.
"Oh my god! That scared me to death. I felt like I died several times just now."
Ma Hongjun suddenly sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and the others remained silent.
Their situation wasn't much better than Ma Hongjun's. Who knew that going out to hunt a thousand-year-old soul beast would lead to so many troubles?
First, there was this group carrying the dragon chariot deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, then came the 100,000-year-old soul beast Titan Giant Ape, and then suddenly appeared a mysterious Title Douluo powerhouse who saved them.
This series of events, one after another, has probably been more exciting than many people's entire lives.
"Teacher Zhao, who were that Title Douluo wielding a sword and that guy riding the dragon chariot?"
The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also spoke with a pale face.
That was so close!
If it weren't for that titled Douluo powerhouse who wielded a sword taking action!
It seems that all of them will be killed by the Titan Ape.
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others also turned their gazes to Zhao Wuji, their faces filled with anticipation.
"Judging from his figure and his domineering aura, that titled Douluo who just used a sword must be Wei Zhuang, the leader of the Quicksand organization."
Zhao Wuji also regained his composure and pondered the scene that had just occurred.
Wei Zhuang!
Aside from Tang San and Xiao Wu, who both looked puzzled, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others all changed their expressions.
"quicksand!!!"
"That infamous organization that takes on murder for hire?!"
"That person was actually the leader of the Quicksand!"
Dai Mubai looked utterly shocked.
As a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, he had naturally heard of this organization, and its members even killed members of the Star Luo royal family without exception.
"Why would someone like him save us for no reason?"
After his initial shock, Tang San asked with some confusion.
Upon hearing this, the rest of the Shrek members also looked puzzled.
"Let's burn some incense!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji gave a wry smile: "Do you think Wei Zhuang only intervened to save us?"
These words only confused Tang San and the others even more.
"Don't be naive! Why would someone like him easily lend a hand to save us?"
Seeing the bewildered expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Wuji slowly spoke, "He wasn't saving us; he was demonstrating his sword, his strength. He wanted to show the people in that dragon carriage his power!"
Everyone present was shocked to hear this!
Was the leader of this assassin organization deliberately making a move just to demonstrate his strength to the person inside the dragon carriage?!
This……
Instantly, the Shrek members present exchanged glances, all somewhat speechless.
It seems... this is the only possibility!
Otherwise, what other explanation could there be for Wei Zhuang, the leader of the assassins, to have taken pity on them and save them?
It's absurd to even think about!
"Who exactly is that person inside the imperial carriage?"
"The fact that Wei Zhuang from the Quicksand organization would specifically take action is just to show him their strength."
A hint of confusion appeared on Ma Hongjun's chubby face.
"I might know a little about that guy."
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Ning Rongrong's delicate face showed a hint of seriousness: "Dad said that in the Heaven Dou Empire, only one person can travel by dragon carriage."
"Who is it?!"
Even Zhu Zhuqing's unchanging expression revealed a hint of anticipation.
Although the imperial carriage was covered by curtains, obscuring the face of the person inside, judging from their figure and voice, the person was not very old, and was very likely around the same age as them.
"His Highness Ying Zheng, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!"
Ning Rongrong said with a somewhat serious expression.
The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Ying Zheng!
Upon hearing this, the Shrek members were so shocked that they were speechless.
That Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire who began overseeing the country at the age of ten?!
It was him!
"Rongrong is right, that person is indeed His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Ying Zheng."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji slowly spoke up.
"Little ones, not to mention you, this experience is probably the most exciting moment of my life."
Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Titan Giant Ape, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and leader of the Quicksand Organization.
Good guy!
Who would dare to imagine that?
"Is he very strong?"
Tang San pondered for a moment before asking the question.
Tang San had just noticed that the Titan Giant Ape's retreat seemed to be not because of Wei Zhuang, but because of Ying Zheng.
"You can't say it's strong!"
"My father said that some people are born to be emperors, not because of their power, but because their souls are heavier than anyone else's."
Ning Rongrong spoke again.
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
"Alright, kids, these are people we can't get close to."
Zhao Wuji looked at the silent crowd, then said to Oscar, "Oscar, quickly absorb that spirit ring, or it will really die."
Upon hearing this, Oscar snapped out of his shock and immediately killed the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, beginning to absorb its spirit ring.
The Shrek members all protected him and prevented him from being in danger.
Xiao Wu, however, was somewhat uneasy and came to Zhao Wuji's side.
"Teacher Zhao, that effeminate man beside His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be quite powerful?"
Xiao Wu asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Although somewhat puzzled as to why Xiao Wu asked this, Zhao Wuji still said with a slightly solemn expression, "If I'm not mistaken, that person is Zhao Gao."
"Ying Zheng's personal eunuch is definitely a titled Douluo powerhouse, and his strength is probably no less than that of Wei Zhuang."
Titled Douluo?!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's already pale face turned even paler.
"He definitely figured it out..."
