Chapter 66 Duke White Tiger
After Wang Nan and Gong Yang Mo were ready, they did not stop and flew towards the outer courtyard on the surface of the Sea God Lake.
Arriving at the Sea God Lake in the outer courtyard, many outer courtyard disciples were gathered here and looking at the Sea God Island. The appearance of Wang Nan and the other person attracted a lot of attention. Although the two were not wearing school uniforms, it was not difficult to guess the identity of the people who could come out of the Sea God Island.
"This senior sister is so beautiful."
Wang Nan seemed to hear some discussions vaguely.
In order to facilitate movement, Gong Yang Mo tied his long hair into a ponytail behind his back. He had a delicate appearance to begin with, and his clothes were relatively...neutral, which unsurprisingly caused many disciples to misunderstand him.
Gong Yang Mo didn't mind at all. He turned around to look at the group of outer courtyard disciples and winked at them, which immediately caused another exclamation from the crowd.
"Aren't you afraid that they will be scared after they find out you are a boy?" Wang Nan said helplessly.
"It's good to scare them. The outer courtyard is in the period of hard training. How old are they and they are thinking about looking at pretty girls?"
Wang Nan glanced at Gong Yangmo. It was rare to see him so serious.
"If anyone wants to watch it, it should be people of our age."
Sure enough, Wang Nan thought too much.
To get from Shrek Academy to Tianming City, one needs to go all the way southwest. Even with a flying soul guide, it still takes a day. It was already late when Wang Nan and his companions set out, so it was already the second day when they approached the border of the Xingluo Empire.
As the front line of the Xing Luo Empire's defense against the Sun and Moon Empire, it is naturally heavily guarded. From a distance, you can see many soul guide cannons deployed on the city walls and a large number of soldiers in armor patrolling on the city walls.
Everyone entering the city was strictly checked at the city gate, and Wang Nan and his companions were no exception. When it was their turn, they were stopped by the guards.
"Please stay, show your IDs and explain why you came to Tianming City."
In fact, every time Wang Nan went home, he would pass the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire, but it was far less strict than here. After all, since the emergence of the Sun and Moon Empire, although there were still some barriers between the three empires on the original Douluo Continent, they were generally united in facing the outside world.
"We are disciples of Shrek Academy." Wang Nan took out his ID, and the guard's attitude suddenly changed after seeing it.
“Please wait a moment.” As he said that, he took Wang Nan’s ID and ran to the side. There stood a tall man with a solemn expression, who seemed to be of high status.
After talking to the guard for a few words, the man walked towards Wang Nan. Each of his steps was very big, causing the armor on his body to make continuous noises.
"Excuse me, please follow me. The Marshal has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wang Nan was not surprised. Although Shrek Academy said that the affairs of the Shrek Supervisory Group were confidential, when Dai Hao was in such a position, some things were just not brought to the surface.
Thousands of years ago, Shrek Academy led the three empires to repel the Sun-Moon Empire. The supervisory mission rarely interfered in the internal affairs of the major empires, so they gave Shrek Academy face and sometimes even helped Shrek complete its supervisory mission.
The two followed the man into the city. There were almost no ordinary people on the wide streets. Instead, there were teams of soldiers holding weapons. Judging from the fluctuations of their soul power, it seemed that only the captain was a soul master, and the others were just ordinary people. They came to the City Lord's Mansion, which had become Dai Hao's daily living place. There were two guards standing at the door. Judging from the decorations on their bodies, they should be Dai Hao's own guards, not soldiers of the Xingluo Empire.
"Marshal, the people from Shrek Academy have arrived."
"Please come in quickly." Not long after, the door opened and Dai Hao, dressed in military uniform, appeared at the door. He had the same golden hair as Dai Yueheng, and was wearing a white armor decorated with the same black tiger pattern as his martial soul. There was soul power flowing on it, so it should be a soul guide device.
At this time, there was no full-scale war between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and Dai Hao was not as gloomy as he would be later. After seeing Wang Nan and the others, he even smiled brightly.
"You are here for the matter of the evil soul master, right?" After entering the room, Dai Hao signaled the other guards to leave the room, and then went straight to the point.
Wang Nan did not hide it and nodded.
"Well, I'll be frank." Dai Hao has been in the army for many years, so he speaks directly. After confirming the identities of Wang Nan and the others, he told the whole story. "I was the one who sent someone to Shrek Academy to get the news about the evil spirit master."
Seeing Wang Nan's surprised look, Dai Hao waved his hand, "I know you have doubts in your hearts. With my strength, it is not difficult to deal with those evil soul masters. But I can't leave Tianming City for a long time."
"You have rarely experienced battlefields, so you don't know that the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire seem to be relatively peaceful now, but both sides are on edge. Once one side makes a move, a real war could easily break out. Therefore, my every move is crucial."
Wang Nan nodded slightly as he listened to Dai Hao's words. He was almost a Titled Douluo, but he felt uncomfortable in his actions. It turned out that the adult world was too complicated.
"Your Shrek Supervisory Group is well-known, and I have heard a little about your deeds, so I entrusted the two of you to come here." Dai Hao said with a sigh, "Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many soldiers in Tianming City, but there are actually only a few who can match the strength of you two."
"That group of evil soul masters are all very skilled. Ordinary soldiers are no match for them. Moreover, they are erratic in their actions. If we want to completely defeat them, we can only rely on the two of you."
Although Dai Hao spoke directly, he still praised Wang Nan and the others. It was a different kind of praise for a straightforward person. If Wang Nan had not lived two lives and had a calm mind, he might have been a little flattered at this time.
"You are too kind, Marshal. This is the duty of us Shrek disciples."
"Yes, that's why I sent Yao'er to Shrek Academy." Dai Hao waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will send a team of scouts to help you locate those evil soul masters. But after all, I still have to guard against the Sun-Moon Empire, so the number of people won't be too large, and I can't guarantee how much effect they can have."
"Marshal, how many soul masters are there among your scouts?"
"This..." Dai Hao was a little embarrassed. "To be honest, there are not many scouts with cultivation. They all have important missions to complete, so they can't be easily mobilized."
"Then let's not do it." Wang Nan shook his head. What difference would it make for ordinary people to go there and die? Even if they were just helping to investigate the evil spirit master from a distance, if they were not careful, they would never come back. So let it go.
"Okay, this matter is entirely up to you. If you need anything, you can always come to me. It's getting late today, how about you rest in the city first and leave the city tomorrow?"
Wang Nan nodded and agreed.
