Not long after!
Tang Sect!
While Zang Xin, with his eyes closed, was contemplating how to develop the Tang Sect, he was suddenly startled awake by an urgent voice…
"Report… Report to the Sect Master, the Spirit Pagoda's master seeks an audience!!"
The person speaking was a disciple of the Tang Sect, with a face full of urgent expression…
It was known that the Spirit Pagoda essentially had no cooperative relationship with the Tang Sect, so this visit was likely not to bring any good news!
Zang Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Oh? The Spirit Pagoda's master has come?"
Not long ago, he had discussed with the other hall masters whether to remove Gu Yuena's status as a Tang Sect disciple. Unexpectedly, today she had arrived!
Could it be for this reason?
The Tang Sect disciple spoke again, "Not only has the Spirit Pagoda's master come, but there are also several council members!"
"Each one of them is at least of the Titled Douluo level of strength!"
Zang Xin then took the matter seriously, speculating, "These council members, if not mistaken, are likely the ferocious beasts that survived from the Aquipeia Forest!"
Right after Gu Yuena became the master of the tower, the Tang Sect learned that she immediately cleared out most of the council members, leaving only her confidants...
From this point, it was easy to infer their identity...
The Tang Sect disciple swallowed hard and asked, "Sect Master, shall we receive them?"
Zang Xin glanced at him and said, "Of course, if we refuse to meet the Spirit Pagoda's master, it would not reflect well on the Tang Sect's manners when word gets out!"
The Tang Sect disciple stood up, respectfully saying, "Yes, Sect Master. I will go and inform them right away!"
But before he could take a step, he was interrupted by Zang Xin, "Wait, let them go to that place!"
The purpose of Gu Yuena leading several soul beasts here was still unclear, so it was best to make preparations in advance!
The former immediately understood, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave…
…
Soon after, the Tang Sect disciple led Gu Yuena and others to the reception area…
No sooner had they set foot inside than Di Tian felt something was amiss, and whispered to Gu Yuena in a voice only she could clearly hear, "My lord, this place seems to have some kind of device that restricts Soul Masters, even affecting my power!"
Upon hearing this, the latter's eyebrows raised slightly, but she did not say much...
The rest of the ferocious beasts were cautiously observing their surroundings, constantly probing with spiritual power...
Fearing that the Tang Sect had prepared some kind of trap...
They had no trust in humans whatsoever!
Soon, Zang Xin appeared in front of them, accompanied by Guo Xiao and Liang Xiaoyu...
The former maintained a composed expression, "Spirit Pagoda's master, and all council members, welcome to the Tang Sect!"
Gu Yuena glanced at them and said coolly, "Sect Master Zang is too kind!"
She paused and then said, "However… this place seems to be equipped with some kind of device that limits Soul Power, isn't it? Am I to understand that this is the Tang Sect's manner of hospitality?"
Her words were ripe with aggression…
Zang Xin was not annoyed, but cleverly defused the situation with his words, "Ancient Tower Master, please do not take offense. This is to avoid unnecessary trouble, after all, the identities of the several council members behind you are not that simple!"
This statement caused Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes to grow colder...
Did Zang Xin's remark indicate that he had seen through the identities of Di Tian and the others as ferocious beasts?
No, he had completely confirmed their identities!
With this in mind, she took a deep breath and said, "Is that so? It seems I have misunderstood the Tang Sect!"
Zang Xin pointed at the courtyard ahead and said, "Ancient Tower Master, please!"
Gu Yuena pursed her thin lips and stepped forward to walk ahead…
Di Tian reminded, "Pagoda Master, be careful..."
The former indifferently replied, "Don't worry, Di Tian, a sect as grand as the Tang Sect would never stoop to such despicable means!"
Zang Xin echoed, "Of course, the Tang Sect has always welcomed guests!"
With that, he gave Guo Xiaoxu and the others a meaningful look, and then entered with Gu Yuena…
…
Once both parties were seated, Zang Xin was the first to speak, "So, to cut to the chase, Ancient Tower Master, what brings you to our Tang Sect this time?"
This was exactly what Gu Yuena had in mind as she said immediately, "I have come to ask for a favor from Sect Master Zang."
Zang Xin feigned surprise, "Oh? Ancient Tower Master, now in control of the entire Spirit Pagoda, what could possibly require my assistance?"
Gu Yuena looked straight at him, "Sect Master Zang flatters me. I am only temporarily assuming the position of Pagoda Master, how could I have obtained full control in such a short time!"
"As for the help I need, it is quite simple, that is to remove the identity of the Tang Sect Disciple I bear!"
"I presume this would be a simple matter for Sect Master Zang with just a word!"
Zang Xin stroked his beard, musing to himself, "Remove your identity as a Tang Sect Disciple, eh? Indeed, this is not a difficult matter."
Gu Yuena pressed, "So, does this mean Sect Master Zang agrees?"
Unexpectedly, he was quite forthcoming!
But to her surprise, Zang Xin suddenly changed his tone, apologizing, "However, I am sorry to say that I have discussed this matter with the other Hall Masters before, and they believe that the Ancient Tower Master is extremely talented. There is absolutely no need to erase the fact that you were once a Tang Sect Disciple!"
Intentionally coming to the Tang Sect to erase the identity of a disciple, Gu Yuena and the ferocious beasts' mysterious plan must be about to start…
Therefore, I cannot easily agree!
Gu Yuena, sensing the implied meaning, released her aura quietly, "Does this mean you're unwilling, Sect Master Zang?"
Zang Xin chuckled lightly, "Why? Would the Ancient Tower Master be planning to take action within the Tang Sect? Don't forget, there are devices here that limit Soul Power!"
Gu Yuena suddenly realized something and restrained her aura…
"It was just a joke. I'm sure Sect Master Zang won't mind,"
Damn it, I almost forgot about the machines that restrict Soul Power on this place!
Only Soul Masters would be affected!
If I act rashly, it could very well confirm the identity of a soul beast!
Realizing that she had underestimated the opposition, Gu Yuena slowly stood up, "Since Sect Master Zang is unwilling to help with this small matter, let it be."
Zang Xin suddenly interjected, "Hold on... Ancient Tower Master, I've heard that the Spirit Pagoda has been conducting secret research all this time. Could you enlighten me a bit?"
Gu Yuena showed displeasure, "That is a secret of the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect shouldn't have the right to inquire, should it?"
Zang Xin explained, "That may be so, but if there is anything the Tang Sect can help with, we certainly won't refuse!"
Gu Yuena decisively refused…
"No need, isn't the Tang Sect busy helping Shrek Academy with rebuilding? I'm afraid you don't have the energy to care about other matters!"
"Di Tian, let's go!"
With that, she left with Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts…
Watching their retreating figures, Zang Xin's expression gradually grew solemn, "Such frightening cunning, no wonder she could become the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda at such a young age!"
From her, he had not managed to get any useful information!
Moreover, the faint power she emitted made him have to take her seriously!
