Chapter 2766: Gu Yuena's Purpose_1

```

Hearing Tang Wulin's earnest words, Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan didn't joke around, and seriously nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Wulin, we understand!"

Although the federation wouldn't dare to do anything openly, we still need to be cautious!

After gesturing briefly, they turned and left...

Seeing Xie Xie still gazing intently at their departing figures, Yue Zhengyu could barely suppress a laugh, "Xie Xie, what kind of expression is that? They're just going to the federation, no need to worry!"

To put it plainly, they might return in just a few hours!

How could Xie Xie admit his concerns? He stiffened up and said, "I... I'm not worried, I'm just curious about what exactly those council members from the federation want to say. Isn't the most important thing right now to be prepared, ready to face the Ghost Emperor's possible counterattack anytime?"

Xu Lizhi blinked his eyes and rarely spoke up, "Maybe, the reason the federation asked all Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to go is to discuss this matter. However, I think what Wulin did was right, the academy's safety is of the utmost importance!"

After all, no one wants to experience the academy's annihilation again!

Given the affirmation from the former, Tang Wulin smiled and generously praised, "Not bad at all, Lizhi, you've also grown a lot!"

Xu Xiaoyan chimed in subconsciously, "Of course, Lizhi is, after all, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Plus, having stayed by Xing Lan's side for so long, he's definitely matured quite a bit!"

After a pause, she looked towards Tang Wulin again, hesitating slightly, "Um, Wulin, can we talk, just the two of us?"

Upon hearing her words, Tang Wulin's gaze turned towards Yue Zhengyu...

Seemingly seeking the latter's opinion?

The latter immediately understood and quickly said, "Wulin, don't mind me, go ahead and talk."

Having been companions for so long, how could he possibly overthink it!

Tang Wulin nodded slightly and then addressed Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, let's go over there then!"

Xu Xiaoyan immediately agreed, "Okay!"

Thus, the two of them left the area...

At this moment, a gleam flashed in Xie Xie's eyes, "Weird, what does Xiao Yan want to talk to Wulin about, that she can't let us know?"

Yue Zhengyu shrugged nonchalantly, "Who knows?"

Xie Xie, with a slightly mischievous tone, said, "Do you need me to eavesdrop for you?"

Yue Zhengyu shot him a look, "No need, besides, with Wulin's spiritual power, you'd be discovered the moment you got close!"

Although he was also very curious, if Xiao Yan didn't want him to know, then so be it!

Xie Xie gave up, crossing his arms and pouting, "Tch, that's no fun!"

He wasn't foolish enough to think there was anything between Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan!

…

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin looked at Xu Xiaoyan before him and inquired, "Xiao Yan, what did you want to talk about?"

Her expression grew more resolute, "Wulin, although no one has asked until now, can you tell us about Gu Yue now?"

Tang Wulin opened his mouth, then broke into a wry smile, "Gu Yue? Her true identity is that of a soul beast, this much you should be clear about!"

True, he'd never thoroughly explained Gu Yuena's true identity to them before!

Xu Xiaoyan nodded, "We all know about that, and we understand that like you, inside her resides the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King!"

```

Tang Wulin, upon hearing this, affirmed, "Yes, all this is true, as for the rest, I also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoyan posed her fatal triplet of questions...

"What is Gu Yue's real purpose for joining the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Why did she abandon us and insist on leaving Shrek Academy in the first place??"

"Recently, a large number of Soul Masters have joined the Spirit Pagoda, and obviously, there's something fishy about it. Do you know something?"

Tang Wulin fell silent...

He hadn't expected Xu Xiaoyan to be able to detect the connections between these events!

After a long moment, he made a decision in his heart...

"Xiaoyan, I will answer your questions one by one, but I still hope you won't tell anyone!"

Xu Xiaoyan's expression turned solemn, "I promise I won't reveal it to anyone!"

Tang Wulin nodded slightly and then began to narrate in a very heavy tone, "Gu Yue left Shrek Academy and joined the Spirit Pagoda primarily to learn the technology of Spirit Soul creation and to try using it to resurrect extinct soul beasts!"

Having heard all of this, Xu Xiaoyan was shocked and incredulous, "This... how is that possible? Soul beasts have been extinct for so long, it's impossible to accomplish that even with the technology to create Spirit Souls!!"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "Xiaoyan, you're underestimating Gu Yue. This kind of thing isn't difficult for her!"

"Moreover, ever since she became the master of the Spirit Pagoda and purged all Council Members to gain absolute power, she must have initiated this plan."

"She might even have succeeded."

Xu Xiaoyan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Why would Gu Yue do such a thing? It doesn't make any sense!"

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "It might seem that way to us, but to Gu Yue, it is extremely important!"

"After all, she is the leader of ferocious beasts like Di Tian, and naturally, she bears the responsibility of revitalizing the Soul Beast Clan!"

Xu Xiaoyan forced herself to calm down and asked again, "Wulin, did Gu Yue tell you these things herself?"

Tang Wulin was taken aback for a moment and then denied, "No, Gu Yue didn't tell me any of this. It's all just my personal conjecture; however, I believe it's very close to the truth!"

Xu Xiaoyan could only accept his explanation, yet she posed one last question...

"I understand, but what about those Soul Masters who joined the Spirit Pagoda? How do you explain that?"

If people knew the purpose of the Spirit Pagoda was to resurrect soul beasts, how could so many join it!

That was just too strange!

Tang Wulin's eyes flickered, slowly saying, "It's simple, most of those Soul Masters who joined the Spirit Pagoda are probably under control!"

"Xiaoyan, do you remember the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded, responding, "Yeah, isn't that a device similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform? I remember it being open to the Soul Masters of Soul Land for free!"

The corners of Tang Wulin's mouth lifted slightly, "That is the crux of the issue, why would the Spirit Pagoda, despite the costs, leave the Ten Thousand Beast Platform open for all Soul Masters on the continent to use for free?"

Xu Xiaoyan felt a cold sweat breaking out on her back, "Wulin, are you suggesting that..."

Tang Wulin confirmed her guess, "Exactly, the Spirit Pagoda has done so in order to subtly gain control of the Soul Masters who enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"

Xu Xiaoyan staggered back a few steps, trembling, "But Wulin, I, no, we too had entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform before, so why weren't we affected!"

"As for that, probably only Gu Yue knows the answer!!"
