After waiting for three full hours, everyone could no longer keep their composure. Even Tang San opened his eyes.
Ma Hongjun was the first to speak."Master, what's going on here? Catching one person shouldn't take three hours, right?"
Master stood up, his expression grave."Something may have gone wrong."
The others also stood up.
Zhao Wuji said, "That shouldn't be the case. With so many experts, could they really fail to capture one Ao Tian? Don't tell me that Soul Saint from the Zhu family was all show and no substance?"
Master looked at Dai Mubai and asked,"Mubai, during the day I told you to inform them that after capturing Ao Tian, they should hand him over to us for one night first. Did you tell them that?"
Dai Mubai's expression was not very good. He nodded and said,"I did."
"Could something really have happened?" Master muttered.
Dai Mubai said,"Not necessarily. It's possible that after capturing him, they left Heaven Dou City immediately and returned to Star Luo City."
"Why would they do that? Didn't you already agree on it with them?" Ma Hongjun asked.
Dai Mubai's face darkened."They never truly regarded me as a prince. It's normal for them to pay lip service while disobeying behind my back."
Master nodded."If that's the case, then it's indeed possible that after capturing Ao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing, they immediately left Heaven Dou City."
Liu Erlong said,"There's no point guessing here. Why don't we just go to the Ao Residence and take a look? If they really captured Ao Tian but didn't return here, then they must have gone straight back to the Star Luo Empire."
She looked at the young man and said,"You lead the way. We'll go check it out."
Master said,"That works. Let's go have a look."
Flender, Master, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, along with Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the other students, left the academy and headed toward the center of Heaven Dou City.
Late at night, Heaven Dou City was much quieter than it had been a few hours earlier.
In less than an hour, the Shrek group arrived in front of the Ao Residence.
Looking at the huge characters "Ao Residence" on the plaque above the gate, Master and the others' eyes lit up.
Dai Mubai said,"So that guy was hiding here all along."
Tang San frowned and said,"Don't you find this strange? This residence isn't hidden at all. Prince Xue Xing searched for several days, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect searched for several days too—so why couldn't they find Ao Tian?"
Master nodded."It is indeed strange."
"What's so strange about it?" Ma Hongjun said."Heaven Dou City is huge. The prince and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not have come here at all."
Flender said,"There's no point discussing that now. Let's go in and take a look. If Ao Tian really has been taken away, he's probably already left Heaven Dou City by now. If we chase him, we might still catch up."
"Then let's go in and see first."Master walked to the gate of the Ao Residence and knocked hard.
Ma Hongjun said,"Why knock? Why not just jump in directly?"
Master didn't respond and knocked a few more times.
After two minutes passed with no one answering the door, Master said,"Let's climb over the wall."
The eight of them easily vaulted over the wall and entered the Ao Residence.
Inside the Ao Residence, everything was silent, with dim lighting.
"Which way do we go?" Ma Hongjun asked.
Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light as he scanned the surroundings.
Suddenly, his expression froze.
In his field of vision, Ao Tian appeared—standing on a rooftop with four girls, looking in their direction.
While Tang San was still stunned, Flender also discovered Ao Tian and exclaimed in surprise,"Ao Tian is over there. He wasn't captured at all!"
Everyone followed the direction he pointed and immediately saw several figures standing on a distant rooftop.
"Let's go!" Liu Erlong said, about to head over.
"Wait." Master stopped her.
"What is it?" Liu Erlong asked.
Master said solemnly,"Among the Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters, there was a Soul Saint, a Soul Emperor, and so many Soul Kings. Such a powerful team couldn't capture Ao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing—there must be powerful Soul Masters protecting him. The Star Luo team was probably defeated and forced to retreat. But… why didn't they return to Shrek Academy?"
Ma Hongjun said,"Master, what are you worried about? My teacher, Teacher Zhao, and Teacher Erlong are all Soul Saints. If we join forces, we wouldn't even be afraid of a Soul Douluo, right? As for those Star Luo Soul Masters, they probably didn't come back because they were too embarrassed."
Flender glanced at Master and smiled."Even without Zhao here, we aren't afraid of a Soul Douluo."
Tang San frowned and said,"Ao Tian is looking in our direction. He's probably already noticed us. What should we do now?"
Master said,"Let's go over. Everyone stay alert and guard against sneak attacks."
He looked at Oscar and said,"Oscar, make a Flying Mushroom Sausage for each of us."
"Xiao Gang, is it really necessary to be this cautious?" Liu Erlong said."Other than a Titled Douluo, who could possibly threaten our Golden Iron Triangle?"
Master replied,"It's always better to be cautious."
Oscar released his martial soul and quickly produced eight Flying Mushroom Sausages.
"I don't need one," Flender said.
Oscar slapped his forehead."I forgot—the Headmaster's martial soul can fly."
"Alright, let's go." Flender said.
The group began moving toward Ao Tian's position.
The distance between their current location and Ao Tian was over a hundred meters. Aside from Tang San and Flender, who had good night vision, the others could only see the vague silhouettes of Ao Tian and the girls.
As they walked, Master said,"I never expected Ao Tian to have such powerful experts by his side. Even a team as strong as the Star Luo Empire's could only retreat in defeat."
Dai Mubai sneered."So that's what he's relying on, huh? Let's see how he escapes this time."
Master frowned and said,"Mubai, our objective is the immortal herbs he took. As for him taking your fiancée, we can't help you with that. After all, we're not part of the Star Luo royal family."
Dai Mubai's gaze turned gloomy."As long as we get the immortal herbs, that's enough. Once Chen Xiong and Zhu Zaitian return to the Star Luo Empire, they'll definitely bring even stronger Soul Masters with them. Ao Tian and that woman who betrayed me won't be able to escape."
Liu Erlong said,"Xiao Gang, besides demanding the immortal herbs for the kids this time, we also need to seek justice for Xiao San. Ao Tian beat Xiao San into that state—he must give us an explanation."
"Of course," Master said.
As they drew closer, everyone could clearly see Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na along with the other girls standing on the rooftop.
"Rich people really do live in decadence," Ma Hongjun muttered sourly.
Oscar said irritably,"Stop being jealous. With your current looks, even if you were rich, you probably wouldn't be able to find women of this level."
Oscar hit a sore spot, and Ma Hongjun said resentfully,"If it weren't for that Gu Yue Na, how would my evil fire have flared up back then? One day, I'll definitely settle accounts with her!"
Flender frowned."Ma Hongjun, say one more word of nonsense and see if I don't hang you up and beat you when we get back."
Ma Hongjun shrank his thick, short neck and didn't dare say another word.
The eight of them encountered no attacks and smoothly arrived outside the training grounds.
Just as Liu Erlong was about to enter through the gate, Flender grabbed her and said alertly,"Wait. There's a smell of blood inside."
