Wu Changkong immediately called out to Tang Wulin as he followed, "Wulin, wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this voice, Tang Wulin stopped in his tracks, surprised, "Teacher Wu, is there something else?"
Were the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion not going to continue their discussion? Why was Teacher Wu looking for him?
Wu Changkong gave a slight nod, speaking in a very serious tone, "Wulin, last night when I encountered you, why didn't you tell me what was going on?"
He had said that Tang Wulin at that time seemed very urgent, as if talking to him was a waste of time!
It was only today that he knew he had been deceived!
Tang Wulin felt a sense of foreboding, calmly saying, "Teacher Wu, I just didn't want you to worry..."
Damn it, Teacher Wu was so perceptive!
Who knew, Wu Changkong sneered, "Really? I have inquired about it, and last night, many Federation Members heard the dragon's roar. I suppose you must have heard it too."
"Not only that, you also followed the guidance of that dragon roar and left the federation, forcing you into a bitter fight with Di Tian, right?"
"I am just curious, with your personality, you would never do something so reckless. Tell me, what was the reason?"
The last sentence was emphasized subconsciously...
These deductions made Tang Wulin break out in cold sweat on his forehead and back...
For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer...
After a long deliberation, he steeled himself and said, "Teacher Wu, I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you."
Wu Changkong stared straight into Tang Wulin's eyes, enunciating every word, "You don't have to say it for me to guess the outline, it's because of Gu Yue, right?"
Xu Sheng had once casually mentioned that Gu Yue's body possessed a bloodline no less inferior to that of the Golden Dragon King!
Perhaps, that was the reason Tang Wulin took the risk to go there!
Tang Wulin's pupils shrank sharply, never expecting the other could guess it involved Gu Yue...
Capturing this detail, Wu Changkong spoke with a complex expression, "It seems I've guessed correctly!"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, saying in a deep voice, "Teacher Wu, as for this matter, do you plan to tell the other Elders?"
He didn't deny it, because it was simply useless in front of him!
Wu Changkong shook his head, rejecting the idea, "No… I will act as if I don't know."
"I came here only to remind you not to forget your mission, as you are not only one of the Shrek Seven Monsters but also the Sea God Pavilion Master, the spiritual pillar of Shrek Academy. You cannot afford any mishaps!"
"Do you understand that?"
Tang Wulin clenched his fists, and replied, "Teacher Wu, I understand, it won't happen again!"
It was then that Wu Changkong retracted his gaze, "As long as you understand, I won't say more!"
Before leaving, he added another piece of advice, "Oh, and Gu Yue is not the same person as before. If you encounter her in the future, be extremely careful!"
Watching Wu Changkong's somewhat lonely figure, Tang Wulin murmured, "Even Teacher Wu is warning me about Gu Yue?"
Teacher Wu was once Gu Yue's instructor; saying such words must not be easy for him either!
But...
Gu Yue, with all the effort you put into becoming Spirit Pagoda's master and creating the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, what exactly is your true purpose?
...
Spirit Pagoda!
At this moment, the entire Council Hall was filled with a bone-chilling atmosphere...
Gu Yuena's intimidating silver eyes, with their strong oppressive force, looked down upon Di Tian...
She said coldly, "Di Tian, why did you lay a hand on Wulin without my permission!"
Di Tian fearlessly met Gu Yuena's gaze and calmly said, "My lord, haven't you already learned about it from Bi Ji? I have nothing to explain!"
From the moment he decided to make a move against Tang Wulin, he had anticipated this scene!
The only discrepancy was that he hadn't managed to kill him!
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yuena immediately flew into a rage, and a torrential pressure from the Silver Dragon King surged forth...
Relying on the suppression of their bloodlines, it actually forced Di Tian to retreat several steps, while Bi Ji's body started to tremble slightly...
Seeing this, Di Tian spoke again, "My lord, no matter how you decide to deal with me, I will have no complaints!"
"However, given the chance, I will still eliminate Tang Wulin at all costs. He will be the greatest obstacle in the rejuvenation of the Soul Beast Clan!"
Through yesterday's battle, he had realized just how terrifying Tang Wulin's talents were!
More horrifying than those "fellows" from before!
He must be eradicated before he grows any stronger!
Bi Ji, standing beside him, upon seeing Di Tian still infuriating Gu Yuena, immediately scolded, "Di Tian! Stop provoking our lord!"
Murderous intent flooded Gu Yuena's eyes as she said, "Di Tian, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Visibly, her entire form suddenly appeared in front of Di Tian, and her right hand transformed into a Silver Dragon Claw, striking down mercilessly...
Yet Di Tian showed no intention of dodging, standing his ground...
Instead, it was Bi Ji beside him who cried out in alarm, "My lord, no!"
As soon as she had finished speaking, she extended both arms to shield Di Tian...
After the Silver Dragon Claw struck, a force that could shred everything to tatters washed over them, instantly sending Bi Ji flying backward like a cannonball, slamming into the wall and creating a progressively cracking large crater...
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and thought to herself, "Is this the power of our lord now? Even with my cultivation of hundreds of thousands of years, I couldn't withstand that hit!"
Seeing Bi Ji, who had disobeyed her, Gu Yuena said coldly, "Bi Ji, do you want to die too?"
Pity flickered in Di Tian's golden pupils, but he remained impassive and said, "Bi Ji, this is between our lord and me. Do not interfere!"
That strike just now held no restraint; our lord truly wanted to kill me!
And Bi Ji, whose strength was suppressed by transformation into human form, could not possibly have resisted and must have been at least lightly injured!
Bi Ji paid no attention to her wounds but instead pleaded with Gu Yuena, "My lord, Di Tian didn't mean to enrage you. He just doesn't want you to expend the Silver Dragon King's Origin Power because of creating soul beasts."
"Moreover, the fact that Tang Wulin survived at the hands of Di Tian is enough to prove that he will be a threat to all of us Soul Beasts, and even to the Spirit Pagoda, in the future!"
"Everything Di Tian has done was for the good of the Soul Beast Clan!"
After these words were said, Gu Yuena's emotions eased a bit, but she still said coldly, "I am well aware of that, but I have emphasized time and again that without my order, no one is allowed to act against Tang Wulin on their own!"
"Even if he becomes an obstacle to the plan in the future, it will be up to me to take care of him!"
Then, turning her gaze back to Di Tian, with a strong hint of warning, she said, "Di Tian, considering that Wulin is still alive, and Bi Ji has taken a hit for you, let's put this matter to rest."
"Should it happen again, you'd best take your own life."
