Chapter 337.3. Purple Golden Butterfly Dragon Transformation
There were three people seated at the farthest table inside the restaurant. They seemed a little strange, as they had conical bamboo hats over their heads and veils draped over their faces. It was difficult to make out their physical appearances, and even their figures were hidden beneath wide, oversized robes.
The person seated at the innermost corner said said, I didnt expect this to happen. She had a bright and crisp voice, but she wasnt loud. Her voice had a limpid and sweet-sounding quality.
Another womans voice rang out to her right. Her charming and enchanting voice was filled withment as she said, Yes! Who wouldve thought that the Tang Sect could defeat the Holy Ghost Sect? Sister Zhang, do you know what ability they used at the end?
The voice that belonged to the leftmost girl had a special feminine quality. She answered, Im not sure, either. However, its true that everyone from the Tang Sect can be considered the most elite and outstanding individuals from the academys younger generation.
The innermost girl said, Given enough time, they will definitely be Shrek Academys mainstays and cornerstones. But I dont understand, why didnt they represent Shrek Academy in this tournament? If they had Wang Qiuer, they wouldve had an easier time iming the championship.
The innermostdy was the Star Luo Empires princess, Xu Jiujiu, while the girl sitting on the right was the Heavenly Soul Empires princess, Wei Na. The girl on the left was Shrek Academys eldest senior sister, Zhang Lexuan.
Who would have expected that these threedies who represented three different powers woulde together in such a small and dpidated restaurant? But it was easier to avoid discovery in a ce like this.
Zhang Lexuan smiled casually and said, They have their own reasons. Our academy isnt a sect after all, and we wont hold them back.
Xu Jiujiu didnt continue harping on the issue, even though she was shaken and dumbfounded when the Tang Sect eradicated the Holy Ghost Sects entire team without losing a single team member of their own. No matter what, Shreks Seven Monsters made up the Tang Sects core, and even though Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na looked up to them, they still werent those top-tier powerful individuals. The two princesses had many more responsibilities than just the tournament.
Xu Jiujiu lowered her voice and said, How are things looking on your side, Sister Zhang?
Zhang Lexuan naturally knew what she was trying to say. She tilted her head and said, Ive discussed it with our elders, and we have decided to participate in your operation.
Both Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na trembled at the same time as they heard this. There was nothing more exciting than this piece of news for either of them.
Alright. Our chances are so much better with your aid. Xu Jiujiu nted her hands on the table excitedly. Even though she deliberately kept her voice down, the other two girls could still hear the exhration in her voice.
Wei Na nodded as well and said, Thats great! We have to unite in the face of a great enemy, and I hope this will serve as a beneficial beginning. The Sun Moon Empire isnt impregnable, no matter how strong they are.
The Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire felt a lot more urgency in dealing with the Sun Moon Empire, at leastpared to Shrek Academy. These two empires would have to take the vanguard if the Sun Moon Empireunched an invasion.
Zhang Lexuan whispered, Alright, lets talk about the details. Time is of the essence, and we will go back to making the necessary arrangements after our discussion. You dont have to hide the details of our operation anymore.
Xu Jiujiu nodded at once. She harbored no suspicions about Zhang Lexuan. Given Shrek Academys status on the Continent, they wouldnt leak details about the operation even if they werent participating. Furthermore, Shrek Academy had already dered that they would participate, and they wouldnt go back on their word. This was the reputation and trust that Shrek Academy had umted and built up over the years. Both empires also knew about Zhang Lexuans entry into the Sea Gods Pavilion. Her presence was enough to represent the entire academy.
The three womens voices faded into silence, and only their mouths shifted up and down behind their veils.

How are things going? Xu Tianran leaned against a soft couch. His eyes were closed into slits, but they were sparkling with emotion as he stared at a manpletely covered in ck kneeling not far from the couch.
Your Highness, the arrangements have been made. Soldiers have been delegated in the north, south, and east. Every single region is anchored by ss 9 soul engineers, and every spot has more than five stationary soul cannon shells. They should know about our setup due to our deliberate leaks.
Xu Tianranughed grimly and said, How about the west? How are preparations going?
The man in ck said, We are prepared in the west as well. Those people from before are still at the western front, and we have given them onest chance.
Xu Tianran nodded and said, Very well done. Continue making preparations, and make sure that everyone is on the highest alert and vignce over the next two days, so that we can be prepared for every possibility. You may leave.
Yes, Your Highness, the man in ck acknowledged respectfully.
He stood up and quickly vanished into the darkness.
A thoughtful look appeared on Xu Tianrans face. I hope they make the right choice, and that they choose the western path. We wont have to expend so much effort and energy that way.
With that, his body suddenly drifted up from the soft couch he was on, and he floated over to his wheelchair without releasing his martial soul. He pushed forward with his hands through his sleeves, and his wheelchair began sliding out.
------
The epic fight between the Tang Sect and the Holy Ghost Sect made the citys atmosphere a lot warmer and more enthusiastic. Everything settled down overnight, and Radiant City seemed exceptionally calm and quiet when dawn broke the next day. It felt as if the entire city was still in a deep slumber, and it wasnt about to wake up for a long time.
Huo Yuhao was up early in the morning. He had astonishing regenerative abilities, and he also had the Haodong Power that he shared with Wang Donger. He felt as if he had been revived after the previous nights rest. He was full of energy and vitality this morning.
Wang Donger pushed his wheelchair into Bei Beis room after they had breakfast.
Wang Donger knocked twice on the door, with no response. She was just about to use the room key that Bei Bei had given Huo Yuhao, the door opened from the inside.
Zhang Lexuan was the one who opened the door. Her eyes seemed red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.
Uh hello, eldest senior sister. Why dont wee backter? Huo Yuhao looked a little awkwardly at Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan frowned and said, Come in. Ive just finished delivering breakfast to Bei Bei and tending to his wounds. She stepped aside and let them in.
Wang Dongers gaze was a little strange as she pushed Huo Yuhao into Bei Beis room.
There was a thick medicinal smell in the room; nobody trusted the Sun Moon Empire to send someone to heal Bei Beis wounds. Instead, Shrek Academy sent a healing-type soul master toplete this task.
Bei Beis face was very pale as hey in bed. This was the second time he had sustained severe injuries sinceing to Radiant City.
He had suffered internal injuriesst time, and he was recovering from heavy external injuries this time. However, Bei Beis eyes seemed as bright as ever; his wounds were severe, but his condition had stabilized after treatment. Powerful soul masters had bodies far stronger and tougher than normal people, and external wounds healed far quicker than internal ones.
Im going to go back. We will follow the n. Zhang Lexuan seemed to revert to the majestic and dignified eldest senior sister. She nodded at Bei Bei, then at Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger, before she turned to leave. She even closed the door behind her.
Wang Donger pushed Huo Yuhao over to Bei Beis bedside. Huo Yuhao asked concernedly, How are you feeling, eldest senior brother?
Bei Bei smiled faintly and said, Dont worry, Im fine. My injuries are lighter than you think; Xiao Yas Bluesilver Grass didnt shatter my bones, and it passed between my ribs. I managed to deliberately dislocate four of my ribs in the nick of time to avoid direct contact, and I also deliberately shifted my organs aside. My injuries seem bad, but they are simple external injuries. I feel a lot better after treatment, and my ribs and organs have returned to their original positions.
Huo Yuhaos eyes lit up as he listened to Bei Beis words. My eldest senior brother is such a great strategist.
I wonder how teacher Xiao Ya is doing, Huo Yuhaomented.
Bei Bei replied, I carefully felt her spiritual undtions when we were together. I could feel that her spirit was obscured behind ayer of filth, and her personal consciousness had beenpletely silenced and locked away. Fortunately, her memories havent been removed. The evil soul masters sealed her memories so that they could maintain her fighting will. They used their sinister abilities to gradually shift and change her personality, so that her memories from the past would slowly fade away. They didnt directly remove her memories, as doing so would affect her cultivation. Her circumstances could be much worse.
I sustained injuries as a price so that I could trigger some kind of reaction from Xiao Ya. What happened afterwards proved that I was quite sessful, and I think Ive managed to break through a crack to Xiao Yas silenced inner heart. Even though the evil soul masters sealed it up again right away, how can it be so easy to seal her away entirely?
A confident smile broke out across Bei Beis face. Compared to before, he seemed as if he possessed extraordinary intelligence, and the resolve to face anything that came his way.
Huo Yuhao felt a little fearful as he said exasperatedly, Eldest senior brother, are you saying all this just to console us?
Ahem, Bei Bei cleared his throat twice and said, Why would I do that? Im saying all this so that I can strengthen your confidence. Yesterday was so close! Who can match you in terms of secrets, depth, and hiding abilities? You really caught everyones attention and gained everyones respect after yesterdays match. However, you have been ced at the heart of the struggle, where the wind and the waves are the fiercest. The Holy Ghost Church probably hates you to the core.
Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, Let them hate me, its not like I can control their emotions anyway. Eldest senior brother, did you arrange everything with eldest senior sister when she came by?
Bei Bei nodded and said, Everything has been arranged. What an exciting and busy night we shall have! I wonder what will be of Radiant City tomorrow morning, when the finals are about to begin.
Huo Yuhao said, Since youve already enjoyed eldest senior sisters breakfast filled with love, we dont have to give you the food that weve brought for you. You should have a good rest; Donger and I will take our leave.
