Chapter 1751: We’re Leaving!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Wulin’s fists were tightly clenched when he said that. It was truly difficult for him to utter those words! His grandteacher, the Atlas Douluo and his teacher, the Blazing Dragon Douluo had both died in the great catastrophe.
Which one was more important, a family grudge or the country’s revenge?
Undoubtedly, he made the right choice. Yet, it was agonizing for Shrek and the Tang Sect to accept the right thing to do at present.
Cao Dezhi slapped Tang Wulin on the shoulder before giving it a tight squeeze. It felt as if he was trying to convince Tang Wulin and affirm his decision.
Tang Wulin turned his head to the side and looked toward the Heartless Douluo. His eyes glistened with tears. He shouted aloud, “We’re leaving!” Upon saying that, he took the lead to leap up and flew toward Shrek City.
He did not have the courage to stay anymore. He was afraid that he would not be able to refrain himself from seeking revenge if he stayed much longer.
Nevertheless, he had decided for the thousands of people on the continent at the moment!
Gu Yuena remained standing by the absentminded Qiangu Zhangting, yet her gaze remained fixed upon Tang Wulin all this while. Her eyes were filled with splendour currently.
The man with black hair from the Spirit Pagoda who was hiding in the crowd earlier had prepared to launch an attack. He was frowning ever so slightly and was especially worried when he saw Gu Yuena’s gaze.
As he watched the departure of the numerous powerhouses from Shrek and the Tang Sect, Chen Xinjie heaved a sigh and turned toward Qiangu Dieting. “Brother Qiangu, I’ve already returned the favor that I owed you previously. However, you should state your stand too.”
Qiangu Dieting knew Chen Xinjie’s intention naturally. He spoke in a deep voice, “I shall remember your kindness for saving the lives of my clan, Brother Chen. Yes, we are contending for the number one organization on the continent and we were antagonistic toward Shrek in the past. However, the Spirit Pagoda is still a part of the continent. Don’t worry, I’ll immediately support the frontline with the mobile resources from the Dongfeng Organization. We shall join the operation of the Western Army Corps and the Northwest Army Corps. I’ll take action immediately.”
“Great! The outcome of the personal grudge will depend on your action this time.” Upon saying that, he took a serious glance at Qiangu Dieting before he leaped up with the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun and flew toward Shrek Academy.
Qiangu Dongfeng was ghastly pale. It appeared that he was in such a condition due to his injury earlier. In reality, only he knew in his heart what was happening.
He finally understood what the Ghost Emperor meant in the soul communication. The group of lunatics, the group of b*st*rds had actually opened up a path which led to the abyssal plane in Thule and lured the abyssal creatures to the continent!
“Father.” Qiangu Dongfeng could not refrain himself from calling out to Qiangu Dieting.
“We shall discuss further when we’re home.” Qiangu Dieting shouted before he turned around and left.
The numerous Spirit Pagoda’s powerhouses were relieved at the moment. They followed closely behind the Qiangu Clan and headed back to the Spirit Pagoda’s headquarters.
A devastating revenge had ended under such circumstances.
In Shrek Academy.
By the time the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie returned to the academy, Long Yeyue was already standing there waiting for him on the sports field.
Chen Xinjie floated down and landed by Long Yeyue’s side. In the distance, the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi waved toward the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun.
“Yeyue, I…” said Chen Xinjie bitterly upon approaching Long Yeyue from behind.
Long Yeyue turned around slowly and looked at him with a perplexed gaze.
Chen Xinjie was stunned for a moment upon meeting her gaze which was no longer icy cold.
“Yeyue, what’s going on with you? Are you angry at me for stopping your revenge? Yet, I…” Chen Xinjie wanted to explain himself.
Long Yeyue raised her hand and covered his mouth.
Her rather intimate action made Chen Xinjie’s entire body shake immediately. He was over a hundred years old, yet, he felt his heart beating wildly as if he was meeting his first love.
“I don’t blame you for this. I’ll make the same choice if it were me. There’s nothing more important than protecting the continent. One of Shrek’s objectives is to protect the continent’s safety. It’s something that generations of Shrek are working toward. The person who has the utmost difficulty in making the choice is Tang Wulin. He has sacrificed way too much for today’s revenge. Frankly, we are gratified that he’s able to make such a selfless decision. He has finally matured. There’s no need for us to help him anymore at last.”
Chen Xinjie heaved a soft sigh and said, “How very true! Your Shrek has always been capable of producing such outstanding people. Frankly, I’m a little jealous. No other organization is capable of measuring up to Shrek.”
Long Yeyue said, “You’re about to go to the frontline again. Are you still going to be the commander-in-chief?”
Chen Xinjie frowned. “I don’t know, but I’ll try my best to regain the post. I won’t be at ease knowing that someone else is giving the command.”
“Hmm, you should go then.” Long Yeyue nodded.
Chen Xinjie looked at her in a daze. He could obviously sense that Long Yeyue was different today. Compared to her icy cold temperament before, he felt uneasy that the woman before him was gentler today for some unknown reason.
“Have you forgiven me?” Chen Xinjie asked in an exploratory manner. It was the crucial information which he had to find out before he left.
Long Yeyue heaved a sigh softly. “It has already been such a long time. What else is there for me not to forgive? I shouldn’t be that obstinate either. Yes, I’ve forgiven you.”
Chen Xinjie took a step forward anxiously and grabbed her arm. “Yeyue, what’s going on with you? Don’t scare me! This is not you. What’s going on actually?”
Long Yeyue did not resist letting him hold her arm. She chuckled softly. “How old are you? You’re still acting impulsively like a young man. Let go of me. Don’t let others see this.”
Chen Xinjie’s heart was beating even more violently now. “Yeyue, what’s going on with you actually?”
Long Yeyue heaved a sigh softly. “During the great catastrophe in the past, Yun Ming and the numerous teachers in the academy sacrificed their lives in order to protect the academy. On the other hand, I fled away at a critical juncture during that time. I was recalcitrant because I still wanted to take vengeance on you at the time. So, I left after being persuaded by Yun Ming.”
“I’ve finally been relieved, and I feel at ease after seeing this generation grow up to be fine, young adults. The academy won’t deviate from its path under Wulin’s leadership. It’ll thrive and prosper even more. You know about the situation at the abyssal plane. Six thousand years ago, our ancestors paid a tremendous price to seal the abyssal plane. I’m over a hundred years old and I won’t live for long. It’s time I make use of what’s left of me now.”
Chen Xinjie finally realized why Long Yeyue was magnanimous all of a sudden. She had already let go of everything at present. She had conceived and accepted her death. She would certainly spare no effort to protect the people from Shrek in the upcoming battle with the abyssal army.
His eyes were filled with tears instantly. In the next moment, Chen Xinjie held Long Yeyue in his arms without a care in the world. “No, I want you to live. I want you to be fine. You must be fine.”
Long Yeyue did not struggle. Instead, she hugged his waist and leaned her head on his broad shoulders. She muttered to herself, “It has been such a long time since I last felt this way. I can still remember vividly the last time you hugged me. After that time, you were gone, and you didn’t return anymore.”
Chen Xinjie’s body stiffened. He loosened her hug. “I was wrong. Yeyue, I’ve learned from my mistakes.” At this very moment, tears streamed down the quasi god’s face, as he lost control of his emotions.
Long Yeyue raised her hand gently and wiped away the tears on his face. “Silly man. Still bawling like a baby at your age. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Stop crying, that’s not the Chen Xinjie I love. I love the Chen Xinjie who commands a battlefield calmly, the commander-in-chief of all armies. I love the Chen Xinjie who is a War God of his time and stands proudly at the pinnacle among his comrades. You are a man of my past regardless. Go now. Go back to your military headquarters. You’ll be the man of my heart only when you’re there. This is perhaps the last time we’ll work together as a team.”
Chen Xinjie took a deep breath. At this instant, he was already in a special place.
He felt his body become mighty once again. The Boundless Sea Douluo who looked upon the world with haughtiness had returned at this very moment.
“Great! Yeyue, since that is the case, let’s get wild together. It’s nothing but a tiny buffoon of an abyssal plane, right? Let’s show them that we may be old, but we can still display our brilliance. I’ll certainly protect you and be by your side on the battlefield as long as I live. This time, I won’t leave you anymore. I’ll be with you till the end even when I die.”
Long Yeyue’s gaze turned into a daze upon seeing Chen Xinjie regain his prior heroic mannerisms.
