At that moment, Yue Zhengyu and the others also emerged from the shadows...
Xie Xie took the lead and said, "Wulin, by saying that, you're not really considering us as life-or-death comrades, are you?"
Xu Xiaoyan chimed in, "Exactly, it's better for all of us to go together rather than you alone! What's there to fear on Douling Land, we are the Shrek Seven Monsters after all!"
Yue Zhengyu gave a thumbs up, "That's right, your parents are our parents too, how can we stand by and do nothing!"
Ye Xinglan said earnestly, "We've all gotten through so many difficult times together, so what's a trip to Douling Land in comparison, how hard can it be?"
Waves of warmth surged in Tang Wulin's heart, and he hesitated, "But... We still don't know whether the fact that my parents are locked up in the Spirit Pagoda is related to the Holy Spirit Cult!"
If they encountered them, a fierce battle would be inevitable, especially in the unfamiliar territory of Douling Empire!
Yuanen Yehui contemplated for a while before suggesting, "That's simple, we'll send a message back to the academy now and ask an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion to accompany us! As long as we don't run into the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult or the Twin Emperors, there shouldn't be any danger!"
Gu Yue agreed, "Yehui is right, with an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion with us, Wulin, you'll have a better chance of rescuing your parents. Of course, it would be best if it was the Saint Soul Douluo Elder Ya'li!"
"If we are attacked while on the rescue mission, she could protect their lives!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Alright, but first, I need to contact some people!"
With that, he activated his communicator...
Soon, a female voice came from the other side, "Wulin?"
Wulin said urgently, "Yes, Yuxue, are the members of the Blood Dragon Squad still with the Blood God Army?"
Long Yuxue on the other side was clearly taken aback before replying, "Didn't Commander Zhang tell you? The members of the Blood Dragon Squad left the Blood God Army a while ago and are on their way to Shrek City as we speak!"
Tang Wulin's face lit up with joy, "That's great, Yuxue, don't go to Shrek City for now. Bring the Blood Dragon Squad to Skysea City to meet up with me immediately, I have a favor to ask of everyone!"
"Alright! Once we arrive, we'll send you a message!"
Without further questions, Long Yuxue ended the communication...
Ye Xinglan asked curiously, "Wulin, who were you talking to just now?"
Tang Wulin explained, "They are members of the Blood Dragon Squad, and I am their captain. They will be joining us on our trip to Douling Land!"
This trip to Douling Land was about the safety of his parents, so it was essential to have completely trustworthy companions!
Without a doubt, the Blood Dragon Squad and the Shrek Seven Monsters were the best choices!
...
Sea God's Pavilion!
Elder Ya'li, having received the message from Tang Wulin, said with a solemn expression, "Huh? This kid Tang Wulin is actually planning to go to Douling Land!"
The other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion all showed puzzled looks...
Long Yeyue was the first to speak, "Ya'li, what happened? What is that child going to do in Douling Land?"
Elder Turbid World frowned, "Douling Land is not like Soul Land, going there recklessly could be very dangerous!"
Feng Wu Yu reminded, "That kid just had a confrontation with the Dark Bell and other evil Soul Masters not long ago, how can he be thinking of going to Douling Land now!"
Elder Ya'li immediately explained, "I don't know where Tang Wulin got his information, but his parents are currently detained in a Spirit Pagoda on Douling Land!"
"So he wants me to accompany him to rescue his parents!"
```
Cai Yue'er rested her chin on her hands and pondered, "Tang Wulin's parents are imprisoned in Douling Continent, and it's related to the Spirit Pagoda, huh... In that case, we could negotiate with Leng Yaozhu!"
Tang Yinmeng shook her head, "No... Elder Cai, it's not that simple. Don't forget that the backbone of the Spirit Pagoda on Douling Continent was sent by the previous Pagoda Master, Qiangugu Dongfeng. There might still be remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Lan Muzi agreed, "Yinmeng is right. Directly negotiating with that Lord of the Cold Tower might not be effective. To rescue Tang Wulin's parents, we'll have to personally go to Douling Continent!"
Long Yeyue contemplated for a moment and proposed, "Ya'li, you stay at Sea God's Pavilion. I will accompany that child Tang Wulin there!"
Ya'li declined, "No! Elder Long, you need to stay in charge of Shrek Academy. Moreover, Tang Wulin asked for me, probably because he's worried his parents might get hurt during the rescue!"
"As an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, it's my responsibility to protect the students of Shrek Academy!"
Long Yeyue pursed her thin lips, "But you, even though you are an Ultimate Douluo, are not a Battle Soul Master. If you encounter one of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings or an evil Soul Master above the level of Hyper Douluo..."
Yun Ming had already sacrificed his life, and she didn't want to see anything happen to Ya'li!
Just then, Yuanen Zhentian said in a deep voice, "How about this; let me accompany Elder Ya'li. That way, at least there would be someone to look out for each other on the way. As for the Yuanen Clan, please temporarily entrust them to the other Elders."
Having become an Elder of Sea God's Pavilion, he had not yet made any notable contributions. Now was a good opportunity!
Turbid World nodded, "Elder Long, I think Elder Yuanen's proposal is a good one! With him there, at least we can ensure the safety of Elder Ya'li and the children!"
Feng Wu Yu also affirmed this proposal, "Indeed, if two Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion go together, there shouldn't be too much danger!"
Long Yeyue followed up, "Ya'li, what do you think?"
Beautiful Eyes Ya'li glanced at Yuanen Zhentian beside her and gratefully said, "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yuan'en!"
"Alone, I indeed wouldn't be able to ensure the children's safety!"
With Yuanen Zhentian coming along, there would be no need to worry as much!
...
Federation!
Inside the laboratory, numerous researchers were looking at the man tied to the machine, who was in a coma...
One of them spoke up, "No good; he has perfectly integrated the Life Force and Destruction Force into his body. We can't extract it at all!"
Another one said rather irritably, "Hmph, in that case, we can only proceed with the second plan—to nurture him as a secret weapon, right?"
"But... this guy's strength is increasing too quickly. He might escape the federation's control in the future!"
"That's simple. I've already arranged for his parents to be brought to the federation. We can threaten him with their lives!"
"Isn't that a bit too despicable?"
"Despicable? We haven't even settled the score with this guy for stealing the Life Force and Destruction Force! Moreover, it's just a means of threat. As long as he behaves, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
The leading man said coldly and abruptly, "Enough... quiet down! He's awake!"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the man tied to the machine suddenly opened his eyes, speaking with an icy tone that was dripping with sarcasm, "Heh... I didn't expect the federation to plan on using my parents as a threat. That really is your consistent style, isn't it?"
