Chapter 2236: For Now, Allies (Please Subscribe)_1

Upon hearing their explanation, Gu Yue's expression eased slightly, "It only appeared for a few seconds?"

Seeing this, the Azure Oxpython seemed to guess something and asked suspiciously, "Gu Yue, it seems you are extremely wary of the arrival of the Sea God!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Yue did not dodge the topic but instead seriously shared her thoughts...

"Indeed, even though Sea God Tang San was once human and has now become a god, he may still retain his former way of thinking. Therefore, I do not believe he would indulge the rise of the Soul Beast Clan!"

Having heard this, the Azure Oxpython immediately understood her worries...

"I see... You fear that we might reveal your plans to the Sea God, and then obstruct you!"

Gu Yue did not speak, but her serious face said it all...

This plan was the culmination of her efforts over more than a decade; it simply could not fail. Otherwise, the Soul Beast Clan would never have another chance to rise!

At that moment, the Titan Ape who had chosen to remain an observer suddenly burst into laughter...

However, this laugh was laced with a chilling coldness...

"Gu Yue, I think you might be misunderstanding something. We bear no goodwill toward humans, only endless hatred. We wouldn't even bat an eye at their extinction!"

He and his older brother had intended to slaughter all the humans in the Lower Realm when they were first resurrected. Unfortunately, he was stopped by the former!

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "As for telling Tang San about this, that's even less likely. As a God, nothing in the Lower Realm can be hidden from him. If he really cared, he would have come down to the Lower Realm at any cost to kill you before your plan even started!"

He was not joking. Although Tang San appeared very gentle, if he determined that someone was a threat to him, he would be more ruthless than anyone!

Gu Yue pursed her tender lips, "So what you're saying is that Tang San bears no hostility towards me, or rather, that the actions I am about to take are still within his control!"

The Titan Ape gave an affirmative answer, "You could say that."

Of course, the biggest possibility was that Tang San himself was currently in a predicament and simply had no time to worry about the Lower Realm!

Only then did Gu Yue add, "If that's the case... then for the time being, our relationship still remains that of allies."

Having said that, she looked toward Di Tian and Bi Ji beside her, "Di Tian, Bi Ji, let's go back."

She had already figured out the attitudes of the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, which was enough!

...

Only after they had left did the Titan Ape say gravely, "Big brother, if Gu Yue's plan succeeds, do you think Tang San would take action to eradicate it?"

The Azure Oxpython shook his head, "How would I know Tang San's thoughts? But according to Gu Yue's plan, she will only eliminate those humans who oppose her! Then, create a world where humans and soul beasts coexist harmoniously."

"That should still be within Tang San's tolerance. Besides..."

The Titan Ape's eyes lit up, "Besides what?"

The Azure Oxpython coughed, "Besides, the kid Tang Wulin has been with Gu Yue for so many years! Their relationship is extremely close; how could he not consider his own child!"

The Titan Ape's eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "That makes sense. Once Gu Yue is dealt with, father and son are very likely to become enemies."

The Azure Oxpython offered rare praise, "Correct, so as to which direction everything will develop, we can only wait and see."

...

As the light of the Sea God's Light faded, Xie Xie immediately stepped back several paces, his face displeased as he said, "Wulin, I've already told you I'm not a fake Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master, yet you still stubbornly don't believe me!"

Tang Wulin awkwardly explained, "Xie Xie, of course, I trust there are no issues with you, but if we turn a blind eye just because it's our own teammate, what would the others think?"

Everyone here was an old teammate, and it only took one look to discern the truth, but official matters are official matters, and we can't mix them up!

Xie Xie obviously didn't buy that, and he scoffed, "Tch, can't be bothered with you!"

Yue Zhengyu saw his chance and sidled up to him, affectionately draping an arm around his shoulder, "Speaking of which, Xie Xie, why are you so averse to the Sea God's Light? I find it very comfortable to be bathed in it!"

Ye Xinglan also chimed in, "Hmm, I even feel like my strength has been enhanced!"

Xu Lizhi raised his right arm, "I also feel like even eating is more energetic now!"

Xu Xiaoyan muttered cautiously, "Maybe Xie Xie is just one of those people who don't fare well in the spotlight? Hahaha... just kidding!"

Yuanen Yehui calmly stated his judgment, "I think, this must be related to Xie Xie's Martial Soul. Even though it's called the Space-Time Dragon, it's also an agile-attack class Soul Master, and he excels at hiding in the shadows!"

Upon hearing that the former was speaking up for him, Xie Xie's eyes lit up...

Immediately he shrugged off Yue Zhengyu, moving over to wrap his arm around him, almost gluing his entire head to him...

"Ye Hui, you really get me. Everyone else is talking nonsense!"

Just then, the Blood Dragon Squad, having received their orders, had also arrived at the scene...

Upon seeing Tang Wulin, they said in unison, "Captain!"

Tang Wulin nodded, his expression becoming solemn, "Everyone, you all know about the incident that just happened, right?"

Aruheng replied, "Yes, the Lieutenant Colonel in charge of the briefing has clarified it!"

Only then did Tang Wulin continue, "The people from the Holy Spirit Cult did not launch an attack, so it's surmised that this explosion was the work of someone inside the Blood God Army!"

"The likely purpose is to sow discord among our ranks, therefore, the Army Commander has given orders to the Blood Dragon Squad to root out the traitor hiding within the army!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Jinchi patted his chest proudly and boasted, "Finding a traitor? That's my specialty, back in the army... wu wu wu..."

Jiang Wuyue covered his mouth, reproaching him, "Say less nonsense, this isn't the time for jokes. We don't know how many pawns the Holy Spirit Cult has planted inside the Blood God Army!"

Long Yuxue concurred, "Yes! Once the war starts, with these pawns working together with the evil Soul Masters, they could cause us unimaginable damage!"

Jiang Qiyue suddenly spoke up, "I say, why not start with the higher-ups? That way, we can minimize the losses!"

Tang Wulin nodded, "Hmm, that makes sense."

But when he saw the face of the person speaking, he was surprised and exclaimed, "July? What are you doing here!"

It was only then that he realized there was an extra member, Jiang Qiyue, in the Blood Dragon Squad!

Jiang Qiyue gave him a look, "What's the matter? Wulin, now that your status is higher, do you not welcome me? Don't forget who went through all the trouble to help you when you first joined the army!"

Long Yuxue raised an eyebrow at that, "Hmm? July, it seems to me I was the one who helped Wulin, right?"

The former seemed a bit sheepish, "Yuxue, why do you have to say that!!"

Jiang Wuyue whispered in reminder, "Wulin, the Army Commander has already approved July's application, and today she was officially transferred to the Blood Dragon Squad."

Tang Wulin then had an epiphany and immediately chose to apologize for his earlier behavior...

"Well, though it's a bit abrupt, as the captain of the Blood Dragon Squad, I welcome Colonel Jiang Qiyue to the team!"
