The joy on Elder Ya'li's cheeks ceased abruptly, and she calmed down gradually...
"Ye Hui, if Senior Qian Yu said he cannot descend to the Lower Realm himself, does that not mean he cannot help us??"
If that were the case, then finding this thing that connects to the Divine Realm would have been in vain!!
Yuanen Yehui shook her head, denying, "No, Senior Qian Yu only said that he cannot descend, but he did not refuse to help us; we just need to use other means!!"
Elder Ya'li then breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good to hear; I thought from what you just said that Senior Qian Yu might not be able to help us!"
If that were the case, we would stand no chance against the Ghost Emperor!
After all, not even I can heal the wounds caused by him!
Yuanen Yehui pursed her thin lips, "I apologize, Elder Ya'li. I did not explain clearly just now and caused you to worry!"
Elder Ya'li sighed, "No need to apologize; being able to find something that connects to the Divine Realm is already quite an achievement!"
As she spoke, she felt the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear in her hands start to tremble...
"Hummm!!"
A few strands of confusion spread in Yuanen Yehui's eyes as she said with puzzlement, "What is this...?"
Elder Ya'li did not hide anything and explained, "It seems like Yun Ming has something to say!"
The former's eyes widened in disbelief, "Lord Yun Ming??"
I see, so this is the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear transformed by Lord Yun Ming?
And she had also heard from Wulin that it contained the soul of Lord Yun Ming!
Immediately after, Elder Ya'li reached out to touch the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear and reminded, "Yun Ming, if you manifest once more, I fear your soul may no longer be able to exist. If there's anything you wish to say, let me pass it on to Ye Hui!"
Yun Ming had already expended a considerable amount of his soul power the last time he appeared to talk with Tang Wulin!
The Sky-Piercing Divine Spear in her hand seemed to have heard her words and once again quieted down...
Suddenly, Elder Ya'li's brows slightly furrowed, an indication she was discussing with the soul of Yun Ming...
Not long after, Elder Ya'li took a deep breath, "I understand now!"
Full of curiosity, Yuanen Yehui asked, "Elder Ya'li, what did Lord Yun Ming say??"
Elder Ya'li looked at her and recounted, "He said you all did well to find what Senior Qian Yu left behind with just some hints!"
"However, we must be cautious with the Divine Realm because those supreme beings from the Divine Realm do not permit intentional interference with the Lower Realm!"
"Otherwise, whether it's you or Senior Qian Yu, you will both face punishment!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui couldn't help but gasp...
What Yun Ming had said was basically consistent with what that Senior Qian Yu had mentioned!
Such were the words of a formidable being who could create his own title of Divine King!!
With this in mind, she looked directly at Elder Ya'li, speaking with immense respect, "Elder Ya'li, please convey my thanks to Lord Yun Ming on my behalf. We will be as cautious as possible to prevent catching the attention of the Divine Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ya'li used her spiritual power to communicate with Yun Ming...
One could vaguely see the light emanating from the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear dimming and eventually dispersing...
After storing the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear in her storage soul tool, Elder Ya'li smiled and said, "Yun Ming said he understands and asks you all to be very careful. As long as you live, there are limitless possibilities!!"
Yuanen Yehui nodded to show her understanding, "Yes! We will be careful!"
"Then, Elder Ya'li, since Wulin and the others should be returning to the academy soon, I'll go ahead and meet up with them!"
But Elder Ya'li suddenly interjected, "Wait a moment!"
The former gave her a puzzled look, "Elder Ya'li, is there anything else??"
Elder Ya'li casually reminded, "When Wulin and the others return, we should probably hold a Sea God's Pavilion meeting; why don't we just go to the Sea God's Pavilion to wait?"
Yuanen Yehui thought for a moment and agreed, "Yes, Elder Ya'li, you're right. Let's go!"
Since it had been confirmed that the person she had seen was indeed Elder Qian Yu, it was necessary to inform everyone at the Sea God's Pavilion meeting!!
...
Spirit Pagoda!
When Di Tian received the news, he immediately reported to Gu Yuena, "My lord, I've just received news that Tang Wulin, the Sea God Pavilion Master, and several Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have all gone to the old site of Shrek Academy!"
He used such an address not for any other reason than to remind Gu Yuena that Tang Wulin and his party were not on the same side!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's silver pupils flashed with confusion, and she mused to herself, "The old site of Shrek Academy? What are Wulin and the others doing there?"
Not long ago, they had joined her on a trip to the ruins to obtain Life Force!
Could it be that they had discovered some secret??
Thinking this, she turned to Di Tian and questioned, "Di Tian, have you ascertained the purpose of their visit?"
Di Tian shook his head in denial, "I apologize, my lord, by the time our people arrived, they had already left."
"However..."
He paused suddenly...
Gu Yuena's tone became colder, "However what? You know I don't like it when people speak in such a suspenseful manner!"
Di Tian promptly replied, "However, we discovered a gigantic pit, a kilometer in diameter, at the site of old Shrek, as though it was caused by a man-made attack!"
"And now, it has been filled in!!"
The expression on Gu Yuena's face turned more serious, "A kilometer-wide pit at the old site of Shrek? The only one who could do such a thing with his strength is probably Wulin."
"But what was the purpose of doing such a thing?? To search for treasures left behind?"
No, that seemed unlikely!
The old site of Shrek still housed the bodies of many fallen students, and Wulin, being kind-hearted, wouldn't disturb them just for the sake of the treasures left behind!
It must be that he wanted to find something that would be of help during a battle!
Seeing this, Di Tian suggested, "My lord, the movement of Shrek Academy is highly suspicious; why don't we send members of the Spirit Pagoda to excavate??"
"This way, we will know what they have truly buried!"
Gu Yuena shook her head and did not agree...
"Di Tian, since you said they had already left the old site of Shrek Academy and even filled in the pit,"
"they must have found what they really needed. Even if we send more members of the Spirit Pagoda to excavate, we will not obtain any useful information."
This remark caused Di Tian to become deeply suspicious, and he couldn't help but question, "My lord, you can't still be holding on to your past sentiments for Shrek Academy, can you?"
Gu Yuena picked up on the underlying meaning and her gaze turned icy, "Di Tian?? What do you mean by that?"
"Are you suggesting I would take the future of the Soul Beast Clan as a joke?"
This time, Di Tian did not keep his mouth shut as usual but instead confronted her, "Of course, I don't think so, my lord. But aren't you being a little too lenient towards Shrek Academy?"
"It's not just me; Bi Ji and the others also find it difficult to fully trust you."
The other ferocious beasts showed puzzled expressions upon hearing this...
They had never said such a thing!!
