章 2179: Chapter 2123: Recovery (Please Subscribe)_1

Gu Yue looked deeply into Leng Yaozhu's eyes and said from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you, Pagoda Master."

Leng Yaozhu reached out to ruffle her hair, "Silly child, what are you thanking me for? But sometimes, I really wish you were my daughter!"

Feeling this "motherly affection," Gu Yue's face showed a touch of panic, clearly at a loss for what to do...

Seeing this reaction, the former thought she minded a lot and added, "Don't worry about it, it was just a joke!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Yue did not use this opportunity to change the subject, but instead responded seriously, "Pagoda Master, I... It's a bit hard for me to accept this all at once, give me some more time."

Leng Yaozhu's delicate body trembled slightly, completely surprised by Gu Yue's response to the matter!

She said excitedly, "Good, good! Then I will wait for that day to come!"

Following that, Gu Yue changed the subject, "By the way, Pagoda Master, I don't seem to feel Di Tian and others' presence. Have they left?"

Leng Yaozhu's expression gradually became serious, and she said coldly, "No, Councilor Di Tian and his colleagues learned that you were attacked by the Dark Bell of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, and they took the initiative to lead the Spirit Pagoda's team to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold. It's evident that they care about you."

If she weren't the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, she would have definitely taken the lead in eradicating the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold herself!

"Your relationship with them must not be so simple, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Gu Yue fell silent, and after a few seconds, she said full of apologies, "Pagoda Master, I am sorry but I can't reveal that yet. The only thing I can tell you is that they and you are the people I trust the most!"

The former probably also guessed that her true identity might be that of a soul beast, but in order to secure her position in the Spirit Pagoda, she must continue to keep it hidden!

Leng Yaozhu silently closed her eyes, thinking to herself, "The people I trust the most, huh? That's enough!"

...

Federation!

At this moment, all the senior officials had gathered together, each with a different expression on their faces.

One of the men clenched his fists in contemplation and said, "The Spirit Pagoda, which usually doesn't meddle in other affairs, actually took the initiative to move against the Holy Spirit Cult before us. This is indeed rare!"

Another woman spoke with displeasure, "But doing so will cause the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult to flee continuously, disrupting our plan to eradicate them in one fell swoop!"

Their net had been secretly cast since the Holy Spirit Cult infiltrated Skysea City, all they were waiting for was an opportunity!

"Hmph, the Spirit Pagoda is not so idle. It is said that one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Dark Bell, attacked their Young Pagoda Master, so they were infuriated and took action against the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Since the plan to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult in one fell swoop has failed, the federation can't ignore it any longer. I propose that the War God Hall's army join hands with the Spirit Pagoda's team for the eradication."

"At this point, that is the only thing we can do. If the federation does nothing, I fear it will draw a lot of criticism!"

After hearing these opinions, the man with the highest authority took a deep breath and said word by word, "If none of you object, then let's do it this way!"

Eradicating the stronghold of the evil Soul Masters soon will also alleviate the panic among Soul Masters and civilians, and enhance the status of the federation!

...

And so, several days passed in a hurry...

Tang Wulin moved his body and said with joy, "Ah, my body is finally healed! And after that high-pressure battle, my soul power rank has successfully broken through by one level!"

His current soul power rank had reached level eighty-seven, just three levels away from one of the goals for the assessment!

Next to him, Long Yuxue smiled and said, "Congratulations, Wulin, you are one step closer to becoming a Titled Douluo!"

Jiang Wuyue pursed her lips and muttered, "Don't celebrate too soon, there are still two assessments awaiting Wulin!"

Not to mention forging a Three-Word Battle Armor within two weeks, it's impossible to breakthrough to a Titled Douluo in just three months!

Aruheng also voiced his indignation, "Exactly, if it weren't for the captain severely injuring a Hyper Douluo, I would even think that the Tang Sect is deliberately making things difficult!"

Sima Jinchi rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't Hall Master Liang say? The assessment for Wulin wasn't that difficult to begin with, but because he's to be the next Sea God Pavilion Master, the difficulty doubled!"

"If you ask me, we shouldn't put up with this indignation. Just give up on the assessment!"

Tang Wulin shook his head and sighed, "No way, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion also hope that I can inherit the position of Sect Leader of the Tang Sect!"

When one holds two identities at the same time, it enables the unity of two forces in the truest sense!

"Let's go, everyone follow me to the Tang Sect's practice field first. My weapon should still be stuck there after that battle!"

...

When Tang Wulin and his companions arrived at the practice field, they found it crowded with Tang Sect disciples, each gazing with curiosity and excitement at the dazzling Sea God's Trident!

One of the Tang Sect disciples swallowed nervously, "Is this the legendary Divine Artifact? I can already feel a terrifying aura without even getting close!"

Another disciple nodded, "Indeed, I wonder who the owner of this Divine Artifact is, could it be the Sect Leader's?"

"It's possible, but unlikely. If the Sect Leader was the owner of this Divine Artifact, why would he leave it in full view of everyone!"

"Hehe, maybe he wants to see who is fated to it, imagining that whoever can pull it out could be the next Tang Sect Leader!"

This remark immediately stirred excitement among many Tang Sect disciples...

A Tang Sect disciple with a soul power rank of Soul Sage stepped forward, volunteering proudly, "Since no one dares, let me try it. Perhaps this Divine Artifact is meant for me!"

Seeing this, Sima Jinchi frowned and was about to shout in reprimand, but he was stopped by a look from Tang Wulin!

The former said displeased, "Wulin, they're planning to snatch your Divine Artifact..."

However, Tang Wulin just smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. If it could be easily picked up by anyone, it wouldn't be called a Divine Artifact!"

The Tang Sect disciple approached the Sea God's Trident with confidence, releasing his Martial Soul...

Behind him, a huge bear shadow emerged, undoubtedly, an assault-type Soul Master!

He then bent down, took hold of the Sea God's Trident, and bellowed, "Lift!"

Unfortunately, there was no response!

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he tried again, "I don't believe this! Just a Divine Artifact, and it's trying to stop me? Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

The shadow behind him surged, his aura rising several times over...

But as soon as his hands touched the Sea God's Trident, he felt an irresistible force surge forth...

With a "pfft," the Soul Sage level Tang Sect disciple spat out blood and was sent flying, crashing to the ground and fainting on the spot!

At this moment, the entire practice field fell into an eerie silence...

...
