Chapter 3281: Changes
In that instant, the expressions of everyone present changed...
Because of Tang Wulin's statement, the hidden information was somewhat explosive. If it got out, it could turn the Spirit Pagoda into the enemy of the entire population!!
After a long pause, Yue Zhengyu swallowed and forced a smile, "Wulin, you're not joking, right? You can't talk nonsense about such matters. The Spirit Pagoda, no matter what, couldn't possibly employ such methods, right?"
Xu Xiaoyan echoed, "Yeah, if they used this method to increase their members, wouldn't that be no different from an evil Soul Master? I think it's highly unlikely!"
Ye Xinglan took a deep breath, "We all know Gu Yue's character; she couldn't possibly do such a thing. Could it be that you're misunderstanding something, Wulin??"
Xu Lizhi trembled as he said, "I... I don't want to believe it either, but Wulin never jokes about important matters like this, so..."
Yuanen Yehui's eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin as he speculated, "Wulin, could there be some misunderstanding in this? Like all these things were done by the ferocious beasts? And Gu Yue doesn't know about it!"
Those ferocious beasts had also seized some of the Spirit Pagoda's rights, under the noble title of Council Members!!
It's very possible that they did these things without Gu Yuena's knowledge!
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin managed a bitter smile and said, "Ye Hui... I can sense the marks on these Spirit Pagoda members with my spiritual power."
"Gu Yue's spiritual power is even stronger than mine, and she's also the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda. Do you think... she wouldn't be aware of such a thing?"
To say he himself didn't want to believe it, but the facts were right before his eyes!!
Yuanen Yehui fell silent...
The others also closed their mouths...
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie...
Finally, it was Yue Zhengyu who couldn't stand the tense atmosphere any longer and tried to smooth things over, "Ha... haha, let's not get so down, guys. Maybe Gu Yue didn't mean it like that, she was just afraid that those members would defect at a critical moment?"
"After all, we all understand her character. She wouldn't rashly do such a thing!!"
However, the others just glanced at him, the meaning already very clear...
That kind of reasoning was far too far-fetched!!
Even ridiculous!
The corners of Yue Zhengyu's mouth twitched a few times, knowing that his words were too naive!
Still, he continued, "Well then, why don't we wake these guys up first, and then you, Wulin, can erase these marks for them!"
"Maybe we can find something out from what they say!"
This suggestion brought everyone back to their senses...
"Yeah Wulin, let's first see if we can get something out of these Spirit Pagoda members. If they volunteered, then this matter should have nothing to do with Gu Yue!"
"Hmm, Zheng Yu makes sense. Wulin, what you said are just speculations; maybe there's another side to the story!"
"What are we waiting for then? Let's wake these guys up and give them a good interrogation!!"
"Lizhi, it's your time to shine!"
Xu Lizhi instantly understood and immediately released his Martial Soul, using his soul skill to make a few buns...
He then grabbed the jaws of these Spirit Pagoda members and stuffed the buns into their mouths...
As the buns entered their bodies, each person emitted a faint light...
In a few seconds, they gradually woke up from their coma...
They quickly got to their feet, looking around at everything unfamiliar, they said with some confusion, "Where are we? Weren't we patrolling near the Spirit Pagoda?"
However, as soon as they saw Tang Wulin and the others, they became wary...
"Who are you? Sent by the federation??"
Tang Wulin, upon seeing this, hastened to reassure them, "Everyone, there's no need to be anxious; this is Shrek Academy!"
"I am the Sea God Pavilion Master, Tang Wulin, and they are all Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Yuanen Yehui and the others nodded to show their acknowledgement...
Having heard this, they relaxed slightly but didn't forget to ask, "Hall Master Tang, and all the Elders, may we know why we have appeared here?"
Tang Wulin covered his mouth and coughed, naturally not willing to naively explain the reason...
"This... it's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short!"
"Inside your bodies, a certain mark has been planted. Are you aware of this?"
The Spirit Pagoda Members looked a bit dazed, glancing at each other before shaking their heads...
"Hall Master Tang, we don't quite understand what you mean. What is this so-called mark?"
Hearing the response, Yuanen Yehui and the others couldn't help but feel nervous...
After hesitating for a while, Tang Wulin decided to tell the truth...
"These marks can control your thinking, even manipulate your actions!"
The pupils of the Spirit Pagoda Members constricted, and they panicked...
"What... What? Manipulate our actions? What the hell is this mark!"
"That's odd, I don't feel anything amiss!"
"Me neither; I feel no different from any other day!"
"Hmm... Indeed, there's no sensation; Hall Master Tang, could you be mistaken?"
They didn't feel that their bodies or minds were being controlled and couldn't help but doubt his words...
Tang Wulin insisted decisively, "There's no mistake, only Soul Masters with strong spiritual power can detect this mark. The reason you haven't noticed anything is perhaps because the mark does not control you forcefully; rather, it subtly influences your judgment and decisions!"
However, the Spirit Pagoda Members still found it hard to believe...
After pondering for a long time, they decided not to delve further...
"Hall Master Tang, we need to return to the Spirit Pagoda to continue patrolling. May we leave now?"
"As for the mark you mentioned, we really don't feel anything!"
This reply infuriated Yue Zhengyu, who cursed, "Why can't you understand plain speech? We're considering your safety here!"
But Tang Wulin stopped him, "Zheng Yu, calm down. There's nothing abnormal about their bodies at the moment; it's normal for them not to believe!"
Then, he looked back at these people...
With a sigh, he said, "Well then, if you wish to return to the Spirit Pagoda, please feel free to do so!"
"However, if you feel anything is amiss, you are always welcome at Shrek Academy!"
The Spirit Pagoda Members bowed with fists clenched, replying respectfully, "Thank you, Hall Master Tang, and all the Elders. We will take our leave now."
After saying this, they didn't stay any longer and quickly left Shrek square...
Yuanen Yehui frowned and reminded, "Wulin, are you sure about letting them go just like that? What if they expose us..."
Tang Wulin waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, they may be confused, but they are not stupid. They probably won't report this matter!"
