Chapter 313: Convening

"Wulin, may I come in?"

Engrossed in meditation and once again attempting a breakthrough to God Rank, Tang Wulin was jolted by this voice...

Regaining consciousness, he opened his eyes and said, "It's Ye Hui, come in!"

Yuanen Yehui didn't stand on ceremony and immediately pushed the door open...

Seeing him, Tang Wulin asked curiously, "Ye Hui, did you come to see me because something happened at the academy?"

He had instructed that he should not be disturbed unless it was something important!

Because he needed to concentrate on cultivation during this time to prepare for the breakthrough to God Rank!

Yuanen Yehui, upon hearing this, handed the letter over very straightforwardly, "Wulin, this is from someone at the Spirit Pagoda for you!"

"It's highly likely that Gu Yue had something she couldn't say in public, so she wrote it in the letter. Of course, Xie Xie and the others wanted to pry it open, but I stopped them!"

Tang Wulin expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Ye Hui!"

Yuanen Yehui nodded to acknowledge and then turned around, "In that case, I'll head back first!"

But Tang Wulin stopped him, "Wait, Ye Hui, since it's a letter from Gu Yue, there's no harm in you seeing it, too!"

Yuanen Yehui froze, uncertainly saying, "Are... are you sure? Gu Yue probably didn't want us to see it, that's why she specifically sent the letter to you, right?"

Tang Wulin immediately declared, "It's fine, we're companions who have been through life and death together, we wouldn't mind such things!"

It's just a letter after all, it doesn't matter who sees it!

After some hesitation, Yuanen Yehui was conquered by his curiosity, "I understand, then Wulin, hurry up and open it to see what Gu Yue actually wrote!"

Tang Wulin focused his gaze and carefully opened the envelope...

Inside, several lines of beautiful handwriting appeared, undoubtedly written by Gu Yuena!

As for what it specifically said...

He immediately tucked it away, somewhat embarrassedly looking towards Yuanen Yehui...

His cheeks flushed, he said, "Ye Hui, so, well... although it feels a bit embarrassing to say, but... the content of this letter..."

Even though he was already the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, he still felt this way!!

Could it be because it had been too long since he had seen Gu Yue?

Yuanen Yehui was first confused, then came to a sudden realization...

Perhaps Gu Yue's letter to him contained some unspeakable secrets!

With a smile on her lips, she said, "I understand, Wulin!"

"Then I won't disturb you any longer!"

Having said that, she left the room without the slightest pause...

Only after her presence had completely faded did Tang Wulin let out a huge sigh of relief...

He reopened the letter and perused its contents...

But with each passing second, his cheeks grew even more flushed...

"Gu Yue, really, if you want to say these kinds of things, you should say them in person!"

However, soon Tang Wulin noticed a very conspicuous line at the bottom of the letter...

"Huh?? Gu Yue wants me to visit the Spirit Pagoda tomorrow??"

"Although I don't know exactly why, this is the first time Gu Yue has invited me in many years, so it definitely warrants attention!"

Thinking this, he became even more anticipatory about the next day...

Maybe, he could take this opportunity to convince Gu Yue to give up her original plan!!

…

The following day!!

The Spirit Pagoda!!

Leading the group, Gu Yuena watched over the representatives of the various factions with an indifferent expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen who have traveled from afar, please forgive the inadequate hospitality!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than several sect leaders from smaller sects promptly joined the conversation, lavishly complimenting without stint...

"Ancient Tower Master jests, all of us present here can see the importance the Spirit Pagoda attaches to this conference!"

"Indeed, indeed, receiving a personal invitation from the Ancient Tower Master is an honor for us!!"

"Since the Ancient Tower Master is taking this so seriously, I believe today's discussion topic must be extremely significant!!"

However, Tang Wulin, the Sea God Pavilion Master, was the only one whose expression looked somewhat ashen...

He had thought Gu Yue only invited him, but after arriving at the Spirit Pagoda, he discovered that she had invited almost all the factions!!

He couldn't help feeling some dissatisfaction.

Zang Xin, who stood beside him, also noticed and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Wulin, what's wrong? You seem to look a bit off, could it be because of the backlash from your recent breakthrough to God Rank??"

Tang Wulin quickly regained his composure and replied with a light chuckle, "I'm fine, you worry too much, Sect Master Zang!"

Zang Xin persisted with a doubtful tone, "Is it really so?? If there's anything amiss, feel free to speak up!"

"After all, you are the Young Sect Master of our Tang Sect, you can't afford to be unwell!"

Tang Wulin once again waved his hand in response, "Sect Master Zang, I really am fine!"

In the meantime, Guan Yue, who had been quietly observing, couldn't help but interject a reminder, "Sect Master Zang, there's no need to keep questioning Hall Master Tang, his energy seems very stable, not at all like someone suffering backlash!!"

Tang Wulin cast a grateful glance at her, "Yes, just as Hall Master Guan has said, I have no discomfort at all!"

Zang Xin nodded slightly, "I see, then I'll ask no further!"

It seemed Wulin did not wish to elaborate, so it was best to be tactful!

While they were conversing, someone had already posed a question...

"Ancient Tower Master, while I'm somewhat startled to be part of this conference, I still want to inquire, why have you invited the leaders of all these factions here? What is it for exactly!?"

Gu Yuena knew that if she didn't clarify the situation soon, it could cause discontent...

She then spoke up to explain, "Actually, the reason for inviting everyone here is to discuss a strategy to exterminate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master!!"

"If we continue to ignore it, it might become a great menace that could even affect the world's structure!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except those already in the know, widened their eyes in disbelief and voiced their astonishment...

"What?? This conference is actually to exterminate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master?"

"Hiss... But the Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult has broken through to God Rank; dealing with them definitely won't be easy!!"

"Yes, below a god-level expert, even a Titled Douluo is but an ant, how could they possibly win!!"

"Maybe we should just forget it, considering the situation in the Douling Empire, where all Soul Masters have turned into evil Soul Masters. With that number, even if we could annihilate them, the casualties would be heavy!!"

Having anticipated objections to this proposal, Gu Yuena took a deep breath and her gaze turned frosty...

"Indeed, the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult has broken through to God Rank, and ordinary Soul Master elites certainly cannot stand against him!"

"But what if... I have already found a way to defeat him??"
