No sooner had Nangong Lingyun finished speaking than Flender's expression betrayed a noticeable shock.
But quickly, as he turned his head, the corner of his eye caught sight of the growing crowd of onlookers in the distance, almost forming a dark line.
He silently closed his eyes, saying nothing more, not even attempting to defend himself.
In this situation, no matter who was involved, Shrek's outcome wouldn't be better than today.
He couldn't beat Nangong Lingyun, nor could he beat Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Tang Xiao, Bibi Dong, or Qian Daoliu.
He's not afraid of death?
In front of me, no one can be unafraid of death.
Nangong Lingyun sneered inwardly, the Chaos Holy Spirit quietly taking over, emitting faint, colorless, and invisible light from his eyes.
His three Spirits: the Barren Ancient Holy Body possessed the strongest power, overcoming force with force, breaking all techniques with one strike.
The Beast Taming Space represented change and completeness, using different Beasts and their attributes to break through the Spirit's innate limitations.
And the Chaos Holy Spirit was the most bizarre and unpredictable.
Spirit, darkness, Time, death, and emotions—each of the five attributes was unconventional and wicked.
Nangong Lingyun gently squatted down, bringing his head level with the other's eyes.
He placed a hand on the Shrek Dean's shoulder, speaking earnestly as if advising him:
"Flender, why are you stubbornly resisting like this?
I'm not the emperor of the Two Great Empires, nor an adjudicator from Spirit Hall, I just want to know who is plotting against me."
"I…"
The Four-Eyed Owl-Eagle wanted to defiantly say, 'Kill me or do whatever you want,'
However, as soon as he opened his eyes and met the person's gaze, he suddenly felt his spirit swallowed by an endless darkness.
An indescribable, extreme terror began to spread wildly from the depths of his heart.
Followed by a strong longing for all the good things in his past life, such as those golden coins.
And a sudden, intense desire and regret for certain unfinished matters, such as still being a virgin at over forty years old.
These emotions continued to escalate.
While his original resolve was crumbling and collapsing layer by layer, questioning the meaning of his actions.
In less than two seconds, Flender's body couldn't help but tremble, becoming more and more violent, like shaking chaff.
Something was struggling fiercely within his heart.
Unfortunately, the Chaos Holy Spirit, a Supreme God King Spirit developed through four consecutive 50,000-year special spirit rings, was not something a mere Spirit Saint could break free from.
With this ebb and flow, his psychological defenses completely collapsed in less than ten seconds.
Flender thumped heavily on the ground, his kowtow filled with panic and pleading:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to plot against you.
If I confess, can you spare my life?"
As soon as these words came out, a wave of disbelief erupted around them.
Not only Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun nearby,
But also many onlookers who had come to watch, all became agitated.
Through word of mouth, even those who had just arrived knew the specific reason for the conflict between Nangong Lingyun and Shrek.
They were immediately horrified and furious at the Spirit Master Academy's deliberate plot to kill and stifle their own students.
"Of course, there's no problem, you're just a knife, the real culprit is the one wielding the knife."
Nangong Lingyun smiled faintly.
He originally didn't want to kill Flender, including Zhao Wuji and the other two underground, who were only seriously injured and unconscious.
Although the injuries might be a bit severe, there was still a chance for a food system Spirit Saint to heal them.
As the saying goes, it's better to have a steady stream than to drain the pond.
Besides, if San Zi joined a normal academy because of this and received normal training, wouldn't that be terrible?
Under the intense fear of death and the extreme desire for life,
Flender was overjoyed upon hearing this and kowtowed several more times.
While saying thank you, he began to rack his brains, thinking about what answer the other party wanted to hear?
After a moment, he tentatively said:
"Are the Upper Three Sects all connected?"
Nangong Lingyun smiled.
Regardless of how much truth there was in this answer, his goal had been achieved.
The Purple Vine Thunder Prison Sword instantly disappeared from his hand, and he jumped onto the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's head, signaling Hu Zi to go next to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing and let them come up as well.
Before leaving, he whispered a sentence to the Shrek Dean using sound transmission.
"Since you're so sensible, I'll tell you a secret.
Tang San is the son of Clear Sky Douluo, possesses twin spirits, and Tang Hao has been hiding nearby.
As long as you can fool him, no one in Shrek can be touched."
A little butterfly effect, in this World, Zhao Wuji hasn't experienced the feeling of beating people and being beaten without using his Spirit.
He could only come forward to reveal certain things.
And with San Zi's intelligence, coupled with the information gap, it shouldn't be a problem to be successfully fooled by the unscrupulous merchant.
In the same spot, Flender knelt blankly for a long time before standing up with a dazed expression.
He and Shao Xin, the only one uninjured, began digging up Zhao Wuji and the other two from underground.
Even though the crowd had dispersed and no more discussions could be heard,
Even a fool would know that after this incident, Shrek would probably become famous, and might even be featured in the Kaiyuan Daily.
That would truly be infamous.
A few minutes later, after the injured three were properly settled,
Flender's gaze seemingly unintentionally swept over the spirit tool at Tang San's waist, and he approached from afar, saying:
"Little San, come over here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Tang San wanted to run, but facing a Spirit Saint, he really didn't have the confidence to escape.
He had previously tried to sneak away, but as soon as he turned around, he was noticed and called out.
Hearing Flender's words, his spirit instantly became extremely tense.
Heaven knows what this villain, who specializes in killing commoner geniuses, wanted to do to him?
The two came to a wooden house that hadn't been affected.
Tang San was just about to express some loyalty,
Something like 'I don't believe Dean is that kind of person,' 'Nangong Lingyun is too overbearing,' 'You must have been doing it for self-preservation,' etc., to see if he could get through the current crisis first.
However, before he could speak, Flender suddenly knelt down on the ground.
His words were extremely sincere and excited:
"Flender, an outer disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, greets Master.
Twelve years ago, the Sect unfortunately suffered a great disaster, and this subordinate also lost contact with his superiors.
I could only keep my duty in mind, painstakingly maintaining the academy until now, and I have not dared to slack off in the slightest, even when facing life-threatening dangers several times.
Finally, today, I have waited for Master."
Flender looked at Tang San's stunned and shocked expression, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Now that he had survived, one had to live on, didn't one?
Do you understand the gold content of the number one con man of Douluo?
