After confirming the mission target, there was still some time before they showed up to save the situation. The three accounts under the moon, who had nothing to do, looked at each other and started chatting awkwardly tacitly.

There is no way. Although we stand at the same height, we rarely communicate on weekdays. Considering that we may sit in the same office in the future, it is better to build a good relationship in advance to avoid awkwardness when we meet in the future.

It seemed that no one noticed that in the East District where the Spirit Hall had not set foot, in addition to the crowd fleeing frantically, there were also several black shadows shuttling back and forth.

Everyone looked towards the corner where no one dared to approach, and found that there were only a few empty wine bottles left on the table, and the titles had long disappeared.

Xue Qinghe paused for a moment, then continued, "Before the three Your Majesties return, the three teaching committee members from the Tiandou Royal Academy and the deans of the various high-level soul master academies will protect this place. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to gather together, so don't let the trivial matters outside affect your mood."

"play music."

Xue Qinghe signaled to the court musician beside him, who nodded and played the instrument in his hand again.

Soon, the melodious music blew away the gloom. The nobles put aside their uneasiness and continued to discuss the unfinished topic and divide the interests that had not yet been obtained.

Little do they know that they, who claim to be superior, are just the second fish who are seduced by the immediate benefits and are confused by someone's careful design.

The master of the East District was attending the banquet, but the remaining servants were not prepared to sacrifice their lives for the job. In the empty manor, Ma Hongjun, who had transformed into the Phoenix of Destruction again, had just pushed the door open and walked out, just in time to bump into a passing black shadow.

"?"

The shadow's movements paused for a moment. Flanders, who was dressed in black, blinked and asked in surprise, "Red Destruction Phoenix, how did you get out of there?"

If he remembered correctly, this house should not need to be inspected.

"Sorry, old wise wood owl."

The second time he appeared as the Phoenix Destroyer, Ma Hongjun was obviously not used to calling his teammates by their code names.

He calmed himself down, lowered his voice, and said in a hoarse tone similar to Batman's: "When I was looking at the information last night, I always felt that there was something wrong with this house, so I checked it out."

Flanders frowned: "Any questions?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong, but he also didn't think his disciples would do something without a purpose.

Ma Hongjun nodded and said, "Wisdom Lin Xiao, the data shows that this manor once belonged to the former Minister of Finance of the Empire. Nine years ago, he was unable to continue to serve as the Minister of Finance due to physical reasons, and his only son was working outside, so five years ago he sold the manor to a businessman and moved his family out of Tiandou City."

"uh-huh."

Flanders nodded slightly, signaling his disciple to continue.

In his opinion, it was undoubtedly a very sensible choice for the former finance minister to move out of Tiandou City and find a place to enjoy his old age after retirement while his influence was still there after he found out that his son was hopeless.

Putting himself in their shoes, he and Zhao Wuji had the same idea when they chose to establish Shrek Academy in the small village.

"Wise Forest Owl, you didn't notice that the merchant who bought this place is from Soto City, and the former finance minister's son happens to work in Soto City as well."

Ma Hongjun grinned, his eyes shining like an eagle that found its prey: "The East District is the most important district for nobles and wealthy people in Tiandou City, and it is not allowed to be traded at will. Every sale and purchase in the empire will record and review the reasons to ensure that the nobles living in the East District will not have any security risks."

"According to the records, the reason why the Soto City merchant bought the house was that he needed to travel frequently between Tiandou City and Soto City to discuss business. In order to facilitate entertaining guests, he decided to spend 1.2 million gold soul coins to buy a mansion as a facade."

"But I found that in the five years since I bought the manor, the merchant has only come to Tiandou City fifteen times in total, an average of only five times a year. Each time he stayed for less than a week, which can't be described as "frequent" at all."

So-called growth usually begins with learning to imitate.

Someone once vividly demonstrated the importance of the brain. Ma Hongjun, who really wanted to make progress, naturally would not idle his brain.

"I just searched inside and found that the most important master bedroom and second bedroom in the manor had no signs of being occupied. On the contrary, in a guest room, there were cigars and a business document related to Soto City in the drawer."

"That Soto City businessman is a tough guy who smokes ten cigars a day."

“?!”

Ignoring the shockingly horrible price, Flanders swallowed the saliva in his mouth and asked with difficulty: "Are you sure?"

Not living in the master bedroom could perhaps be explained as a strange personal habit, but not even living in the second bedroom and instead living in the guest room is really hard not to think too much about it.

Ma Hongjun said confidently: "Time is tight, so I didn't check too carefully. But considering all the clues, I have reason to believe that there must be something shady in the transaction between the former Minister of Finance and the merchants in Soto City."

"Maybe it's another Qi Xiaofeng."

Recalling everything that happened in Haibin City, a fierce light flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes, and his breath became violent.

Flanders was silent for a moment, then patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder with relief.

"Well done, you didn't embarrass Shrek."

He not only praised Ma Hongjun for his courage and carefulness, but also praised him for being able to control his emotions when excited and not wanting to kill people.

Flanders is childless, has fallen out with his former best friend, and his secret crush is missing. Today, he is at the lowest point in his life.

His personal disciple Ma Hongjun and the Shrek Academy he founded himself are the things he cares about in the end.

Fortunately, Ma Hongjun's mind remained clear after his martial soul fell, otherwise, after clearing the door, Flanders might choose to let the world feel pain in his collapse.

In order to provide his disciples with a safe place to stay, he discussed with Zhao Wuji and others and decided to accept the proposal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and lead Shrek to join the new department which has not yet been named.

There is only one mission, and that is to eliminate the parasites that are parasitic within the empire.

I will take care of those the law dare not take care of, and I will judge matters the law dare not judge. In a word, I will take care of what the empire can take care of, and I will take care of what the empire cannot take care of even more.

Nobles? What nobility?

Execute first and report later, the prince has special permission!

In addition to Flanders and Ma Hongjun, the other black shadows that were moving around were Lu Qibin, Li Yusong and Oscar, who were also from Shrek.

The five men were like dung beetles, collecting as much historical materials as possible from the nobles hidden in their homes while they were trapped at the Crown Prince's banquet.

Especially for nobles who have been suspected of being involved in human trafficking, corruption, and collusion with corrupt people but whose cases have been left unsolved, every corner needs to be searched carefully.

After confirming that his disciple was fine, Flanders did not waste any more time and set out to search the next manor.

The moon was high in the sky, and it was still a long time before sunrise. Considering that the aristocracy was deeply rooted in the empire, they might have committed too many crimes to count in order to maintain their status.

After taking a look at the three Titled Douluo chatting on the roof, Ma Hongjun simply adjusted his helmet and ran to the next manor.

Once upon a time, his dream was the same as other soul masters, to become the most honorable Titled Douluo on the continent.

Because he believed that as long as he successfully promoted the title, Shrek Academy would become famous and the teachers would no longer have to worry about money.

Now that his dream is shattered and he has no way of turning back, Ma Hongjun can only hope to take as much evil as possible to hell before he is completely swallowed by darkness.

On the rooftop, Dugu Bo silently withdrew his cold gaze.

Snakes are known to be good at weighing the pros and cons when hunting.

Dugu Bo, who holds the pinnacle of snake spirits and was promoted to a higher title in pain, will do anything for his friends, but he also has a cold-blooded side that "eradicates enemies and hidden dangers".

Gu You believes that Ma Hongjun can resist the corrosion of evil attributes, but Dugu Bo disagrees. Once he finds that Ma Hongjun is at risk of losing control, he would rather be blamed by Gu You than take action to eliminate the hidden danger.

".Wait a moment."

Unable to bear it any longer, She Long gestured for pause.

“?!”

Dugu Bo appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually shocked.

Could it be that Gu You and Xue Qinghe did not inform the Spirit Hall of their plans in advance?

Before Dugu Bo could think of an excuse, She Long didn't care about the privacy of the nobles at all. Instead, he asked in confusion: "Don't you think it's strange? The third soul ring of the girl holding the bow is black no matter how you look at it!"

He kept waiting, waiting for the topic to turn to the third soul ring of ten thousand years. But after three minutes of chatting about daily life, no one mentioned this matter.

If you don't ask proactively, it might be too late.

Facing his future colleague who was ignorant of everything, Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, and his thousands of words converged into one sentence: "That girl is Gu You's sister."

Gu You is a freak, can his sister be a normal person?

With the Star Tear Mark on his back and light golden lines all over his body, Ranta swung his fists, and the gathered moonlight suddenly burst out, piercing through the blood mist and hitting the Red Disaster Star's chest.

He stepped back with a bang, and Red Disaster Star spread his bat wings to steady his body, pressing his fist on his chest, unable to hide his shock.

After more than a dozen rounds, not only did he fail to hit the target once, but he was also badly injured by Ranta's counterattack.

If it weren't for the amazing defense of his fifth soul skill, the Blood Armor, and its rare automatic repair function, he would have been beaten to the ground and begged for mercy by Ranta.

It also goes against the rules of soul masters. Compared with a ranged attacker with amazing close combat skills, a third soul ring of ten thousand years level is easier to accept.

“Hoo-hoo-hoo-”

After repelling the Red Disaster Star once again, Ranta quickly adjusted his breathing, clenched his teeth, clenched his fists in front of him, and took a defensive posture to delay time.

With the Purple Demon Pupil combined with the Ghost Shadow, the speed and explosive power that the Red Disaster Star was proud of were full of flaws in Lanta's eyes.

If the Soul Guide Arrow was not strong enough to hurt a Soul Sage, she would have let Red Disaster Star have a taste of what it felt like to be shot in the head with one arrow.

But it's not a big problem.

Since they haven't used any large-scale long-range attacks so far, I guess Red Disaster Star doesn't have the corresponding soul skills. In a close combat, with Gu You, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, three excellent instructors with different styles, Lanta is confident that he can handle it.

It is worth mentioning that she discovered during the battle that the third soul skill "Aesthetics of Hunting" seemed to have a sacred attribute that could restrain the Fallen. Although it was not as good as the six-winged angel of the Spirit Hall, it was enough to give the Fallen a hard time.

She could fight like this for a whole day before her soul power was exhausted.

Oh, the third brother is back. The exhaustion of soul power is a false proposition.

On another battlefield separated by blue silver grass, Xiao Wu's situation was far less struggling than Lanta's.

The ten thousand year soul ring shone with black light, and the gray Clear Sky Hammer smashed down on her head. Facing such a simple and direct attack, Xiao Wu didn't even bother to pretend, and barely dodged it by leaning sideways, and then rushed forward, and a Rasengan went straight to Tang Gui's face.

"Haotian protects the body!"

The fourth soul skill was activated, and Tang Gui suddenly exerted force with the hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer. A huge shock force was released, forcing Xiao Wu, who was only one foot away, to retreat.

Seeing that the attack failed, Xiao Wu immediately withdrew and wandered around the limit of Tang Gui's attack range.

His left arm trembled slightly, and the pain that penetrated deep into his bone marrow made Tang Gui furious.

Because of his carelessness, he was caught by Xiao Wu in the first round and was accidentally hit by a Rasengan on his left shoulder.

The injury was not serious. The Haotian Sect, which attached great importance to physical fitness, would never allow its direct disciples to be as delicate as the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

However, due to the injury on his arm, Tang Gui could only use his right hand to exert force. The already heavy and slow Clear Sky Hammer's attack speed was greatly reduced, so that he now became Xiao Wu's favorite type of enemy.

A wooden stake that doesn't fight back when beaten.

Faced with such a situation, Gu You would not hesitate to give up the Clear Sky Hammer that had become a burden, choose to trust in his strong body, reduce his soul power consumption and wait for the opportunity to defeat his opponent.

But Tang Gui is a native Douluo. In his impression, martial spirit is the foundation of a soul master and it is something that cannot be abandoned under any circumstances.

Therefore, even though the facts were in front of him, Tang Gui still couldn't put down the Clear Sky Hammer. He was willing to be played around by Xiao Wu, and he also wishfully believed that the invincible Clear Sky Hammer would win in the end.

In the center of the layers of blue silver grass, Meng Yiran's eyes opened and closed, snakes danced wildly around her, and two thousand-year soul rings shone brightly.

Relying on the fact that he didn't have the ability to read minds during the Dou Yi period, Meng Yiran complained to the Skull Mime in his heart while performing the illusion: "Damn it, where are those Titled Douluo people? Xiao You is not playing tricks on us, is he?!"

'Stop complaining.'

The skull puzzle said helplessly: "Come on, the Red Disaster Star's mental fluctuations show signs of avoiding battle, continue to deepen the induction."

'knew.'

Meng Yiran concentrated his mind, and the indigo halo on the snake staff became so strong that it was almost materialized. Red Disaster Star, who had wanted to exchange opponents with Sangchui, suddenly gave up the idea of ​​changing people for some reason, and gambled on the dignity of the Soul Saint and vowed to kill Ranta with his own hands.

'Good, keep it up.'

The skull puzzle encouraged: "Keep your mental power output stable, continue to eliminate the sense of disharmony, and don't let them notice that something is wrong."

'The evil attribute will weaken the user's mental resistance, making them more susceptible to illusions. It is rare to have two suitable touchstones, just in time to experiment with the strongest illusion envisioned by the Book of Illusions.'

'Mirror image.'
