Chapter 2154: Bi Ji's Question (Seeking Subscriptions) _1

"I will handle this matter, but before that, can you tell me how you managed to break through four levels in just a few days?"

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment and then answered, "Sect Master Zang, actually I absorbed the Immortal Herb that was the reward for the martial arts contest, and that's how I achieved the rank of Titled Douluo!"

Zang Xin mused, "So it was the Immortal Herb?"

Following this, he walked up to Tang Wulin, placed his hand on his shoulder, and channeled his Soul Power inward to investigate…

When his Soul Power spread throughout Tang Wulin's limbs and meridians, he nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad. Although you relied on the Immortal Herb to break through, your foundation is not weak or hollow!"

But in the next second, he directed his Soul Power toward Tang Wulin's brain…

Seeing this, Tang Wulin exclaimed, "Sect Master Zang, stop quickly!!"

In his own mind rested the Sea God Tang San's divine sense, something not just anyone could investigate!

Sure enough, a burst of light emerged from Tang Wulin's forehead as the Sea God's pattern spread out…

Immediately after, Zang Xin felt an oppressive force from the divine, and at the same time, a cold voice echoed in his ears…

"Presumptuous!!"

Visible to the naked eye, Zang Xin "Pfft!" spit out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward several steps…

The other three Hall Masters exclaimed, "Sect Master!!"

But he stopped them with a wave of his hand and shook his head, "I'm fine!"

But in reality, he was seriously injured by that sudden emergence of an oppressive force!

After all, that was a genuine divine pressure emitted by a God!!

Zhao Chong's angry gaze turned to Tang Wulin, questioning, "Wulin, what did you do to Sect Master Zang?"

To avoid any conflict, Liang Xiaoyu interrupted, "Hall Master Zhao, there might be some misunderstanding here!"

Guo Xiaoxu furrowed her brows, "Wulin, what exactly happened? Why has the Sect Master been so seriously injured?"

Tang Wulin also revealed a bitter smile, "I'm not quite sure myself!"

How could Zhao Chong possibly believe that and he pressed on, "How can you not be clear?"

Zang Xin steadied his injury and glanced at Zhao Chong, then said, "Hall Master Zhao, it was I who presumptuously attempted to probe into the boy's sea of knowledge. It has nothing to do with him!"

Subsequently, he stared gravely at Tang Wulin, word by word, "Young man, I must warn you, there is an extremely powerful divine sense within your sea of knowledge. I barely probed before I was seriously injured!"

There was only one explanation for this situation: Tang Wulin had caught the attention of a God from the Upper Realm!

Tang Wulin naturally could not reveal that the Sea God Tang San was his biological father, "Sect Master Zang, I think... it might be due to the Sea God's Trident that I have established some kind of connection with the Sea God!"

Zang Xin nodded slightly, "Hmm, indeed that is a possibility!"

Being able to use the Sea God's Trident, perhaps, meant he had already obtained the Sea God's approval!

He might even have a chance to attain godhood in the future!

Thinking this, he took a deep breath, "The following matters will be handed over to you three Hall Masters, I need to go into seclusion for a while."

The three Hall Masters responded in unison, "Yes, Sect Master!"

Once the former had left, Zhao Chong said with an apologetic tone, "Uh, Wulin, I didn't mean to suspect you just now, it's just…"

Tang Wulin chuckled lightly, "No need to explain, Hall Master Zhao. I understand how you felt just now!"

This magnanimous act immediately won Zhao Chong's favor, "Good lad, I was right about you. If anyone in the Tang Sect disagrees with you taking over as the next Sect Leader, I'll be the first to object!"

Guo Xiaoxu reminded, "Hall Master Zhao, let's go, we should now report the matter of Tang Wulin becoming the next Sect Leader!"

Liang Xiaoyu agreed, "Indeed, we should prepare the Tang Sect disciples in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts when the time comes!"

At once, he nodded to Tang Wulin and his party, "Wulin, and the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters, please feel free to do as you wish."

With those words, Guo Xiaoxu and her two companions also turned and left...

Tang Wulin turned around, only then did he realize that Xie Xie and the others were gazing at him with doubtful eyes...

"Why are you all staring at me like that? It's kind of creepy!"

Yue Zhengyu narrowed his eyes, "Wulin, tell us the truth, do you have any kind of relationship with that Sea God?"

Tang Wulin scratched his head, feigning ignorance, "Ah? How could I possibly have a relationship with the Sea God?"

Xu Xiaoyan objected, "Impossible, I vaguely heard someone saying 'how audacious', that terrifying pressure made my legs tremble!"

Xie Xie agreed, "Mhm, I heard it too!"

Ye Xinglan exclaimed in surprise, "So everyone felt it too? I thought I was the only one! That was definitely not the aura of a Soul Master!"

Yuanen Yehui stated emphatically, "I'm certain, that was the Sea God!"

Xu Lizhi, afraid that Tang Wulin might misunderstand, explained, "Wulin, we're just concerned that this power might harm you, please don't overthink it!"

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Don't worry, everyone, since this power stopped Sect Master Zang from probing my sea of consciousness, I believe it definitely means no harm!"

...

At that moment, in her own room, Gu Yue was looking at her stunning reflection in the mirror and murmured, "The matter with Wulin should be resolved by now."

I must also hurry to succeed as the Spirit Pagoda's Master!

Just then, a knocking at the door suddenly broke the silence, "My lord, it's me, Bi Ji!"

Gu Yue expressed her surprise, "Bi Ji? Come in!"

Usually, He Ditian and the others would not disturb her!

Bi Ji, upon hearing the invitation, then pushed the door open and stepped into the room...

After seeing Gu Yue, she greeted respectfully, "My lord!"

Gu Yue responded softly with a "Hmm," "Bi Ji, did He Ditian send you to find me?"

Bi Ji shook her head, "No, I came because there is something I wish to discuss with you alone!"

Gu Yue became somewhat interested, "Oh? Let's hear it!"

Bi Ji didn't beat around the bush but asked very directly, "I wish to know, how long do you plan to serve as the Spirit Pagoda's Master?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue kept her composure, "This matter cannot be rushed; otherwise, it will only backfire."

If she insisted on becoming the Spirit Pagoda's Master, she could actually make Leng Yaozhu step down right now!

But by doing so, she might lose the latter's support!

Bi Ji nodded, "I naturally trust your judgment, my lord, but can you tell me, what exactly is your view of humans?"

Gu Yue immediately sensed the implication in the words, and her beautiful eyes instantly turned cold, "Bi Ji, what is the meaning of this? Are you doubting me?"

Bi Ji hurriedly bowed her head, "No, it's not that I doubt you, but it's just that both I and He Ditian feel that your relationship with humans is too close, as if, you have forgotten your original intention!"

Although it might anger her lord, she had to speak her mind!
