Liang Xiaoyu seemed to have realized something and said thoughtfully, "I see, since you're going to Shrek Academy, Sect Leader, tell Ye Xinglan when she has some free time to remember to come and help me manage the Tang Sect!"
Zang Xin saw through his intentions at a glance and replied somewhat annoyed, "If you want her help, I don't think it's likely. After all, you've said before that Ye Xinglan values Shrek Academy more. How could she possibly have time to come to the Tang Sect!"
Liang Xiaoyu, however, spoke with a tone that brooked no argument, "Sect Leader, you worry too much. Just pass these words on to Ye Xinglan, I believe that she is kind at heart and won't fail to visit at least once."
Zang Xin waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, I'll let Xing Lan know about this, but whether she'll come to help you, I can't say."
It's just managing the Tang Sect, how big of a deal can it be!
Just when he was about to leave, Liang Xiaoyu stopped him again, "Wait, Sect Leader, I have more to say!"
Zang Xin's gaze turned sharp in an instant, "What else is there? Hall Master Liang, don't push your luck!"
This guy used to be so hardworking and tenacious, why is he always looking for ways to slack off now!
This isn't a good sign at all!
The gaze that seemed like it could kill made Liang Xiaoyu step back, and he touched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "No... nothing, you should head to Shrek Academy, Sect Leader. I'll take care of the Tang Sect these next few days."
If he said anything more, he might provoke the other's displeasure!
After getting an answer, Zang Xin huffed coldly once and slowly turned to leave...
Even in his heart, he couldn't help but scoff silently, "Kid, you're still too green to compete with me!"
Watching the departing figure, Liang Xiaoyu's face showed an expression of utter desolation...
But a second later, he heard a calling voice by his ear...
"Hall Master Liang, there's been another incident at Battle Soul Hall, Hall Master Guo asked me to inform you!"
All he could do was sigh, then quickly adjusted his emotions and responded, "I know, I'll be there right away!"
Inside, however, he cursed ruthlessly...
Guo Xiaoxu, that bastard, didn't he promise to help Ye Xinglan manage Battle Soul Hall? In the end, everything has fallen on me alone!
If I had known it would be like this, I would have done anything to prevent the Sect Leader from removing his position as Hall Master!

Spirit Pagoda!
After a few days of rest, Gu Yuena had adjusted her condition to the best and immediately ordered Di Tian to convene all the ferocious beasts!
At this moment, they all sat in their places, looking to the main seat...
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and was the first to speak, "Because of my sudden absence these past few days, which worried you all, I want to apologize to everyone here!"
The ferocious beasts in the audience were somewhat stunned by her words of apology, "Your Majesty, you needn't apologize to us. Your silent departure must have been for something important!"
"That's right, although we're not sure what exactly, we can be certain of one thing—with your character, you definitely wouldn't vanish without reason!"
"Everything you do is to revive the Soul Beast Clan, how could we possibly deserve your apology!"
Di Tian nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Your Majesty, although I'm also unclear about what you've been doing, I imagine you must have encountered some trouble along the way, which is why there's been such a delay!"
"You needn't apologize to anyone!"
Gu Yuena showed a relieved expression, "I'm glad you all think this way!"
```
After a pause, he said again, "However, my departure this time is indeed for a very important affair!"
Bi Ji's beautiful eyes flickered, as she unexpectedly asked, "Your Excellency, may you elaborate on that matter?"
Where the former had gone during the time away was something every ferocious beast present was eager to know!
Di Tian frowned and reminded, "Bi Ji!"
Bi Ji's just now, was obviously a bit too presumptuous!
However, Gu Yuena waved her hand dismissively and explained, "It's alright, I have no intention to conceal this from you all."
"During my absence these few days, I actually went to the ruins left behind from the battle between Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor!"
The pupils of all the soul beasts constricted...
They, of course, knew very well that the Teacher Xu referred to by the former must be the god from the Upper Realm!
Di Tian then said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, that Xu Sheng should have been sucked into the black hole along with the Abyssal Emperor. Could it be that something was left behind in those ruins?"
For Your Excellency to personally go to the ruins, the matter was likely not so simple!
Although Bi Ji did not speak, her expression clearly indicated she felt the same way!
Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian in surprise and then continued to explain, "Yes, although Teacher Xu was sucked into the black hole along with the Abyssal Emperor due to the battle, a unique energy was unintentionally left behind!"
Di Tian suddenly realized, "A unique energy left behind? Could it be Divine Power?"
The only energy he could think of was Divine Power!
Gu Yuena shook her head to deny it, "No... you are mistaken, the power left behind by Teacher Xu is not Divine Power, but Life Force and destructive power!"
Most of the ferocious beasts were taken aback and showed confused expressions...
Bi Ji's gaze became sharper as she turned to Di Tian, "Di Tian, don't you think the names of these two forces sound somewhat familiar?"
Di Tian pursed his lips, "Hmm, it does seem like I have heard them somewhere before, but I can't remember at the moment!"
Gu Yuena was not surprised by this, "It's normal that you can't remember because only Teacher Xu can use these two types of powers!"
Either of them is far stronger than Divine Power!
The perplexed Di Tian did not continue to ponder, instead, he followed up with, "So, Your Excellency, are you saying that you went to the ruins to collect these two powers?"
The former affirmed and then added with a tinge of regret, "Exactly! However, I only succeeded in collecting the Life Force, as for the destructive power, I was unable to sense it!"
Although her original goal was the destructive power, since she could not detect it, she had to settle for the next best thing!
Bi Ji weighed her thoughts and still with a skeptical attitude said, "But Your Excellency, even if this Life Force is what Xu Sheng left behind, it shouldn't be of much use, should it?"
Gu Yuena looked at her earnestly and responded, "No, Bi Ji, even if it's just the residual Life Force, it can still bring tremendous help!"
"Especially in the future confrontation against the Ghost Emperor who has broken through to godhood, it might have an unprecedented effect!!!"
Only those who have witnessed the Life Force with their own eyes can understand just how astounding it is!
