Afterwards, the four of them discussed some recent events, including some feats of Tang Wulin and his companions after they arrived in the City of Miracles.
Anping became more convinced that the true purpose of Tang Wulin and his friends was not academic exchange, especially after hearing about the incident that Qiangu Dongfeng had mentioned before: the break-in at the Spirit Pagoda.
But this was something they had anticipated. As long as Tang Wulin and his friends did not cause any major trouble in the City of Miracles, they were free to do as they pleased.
Time passed by, and Tang Wulin and his friends could not settle down at all in the Soul Master Academy. Every day, during the mandatory class time, they only entertained guests, made friends, and requested discussions.
Their goal was obvious: to find out from these people whether there was any special cultivation method in the City of Miracles. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried to get close to others, they could not obtain any useful information from their classmates.
Since befriending them did not work, they resorted to a more extreme approach: using Dai Yun'er's soul skills to spy on those who were practicing.
The result was clear. Apart from discovering that those people had higher energy absorption and conversion efficiency than them, they gained no useful information.
However, it was not a complete waste of time. After various inquiries, they learned that the City of Miracles had indeed developed a new meditation method. For this reason, the City of Miracles had also established a new department dedicated to teaching this kind of meditation technique.
At the same time, they also learned that this new meditation method was a complete system. From basic to advanced, each level had different requirements for mental power.
To acquire this meditation method, one had to be a resident recognized by the City of Miracles. As for what constituted recognition by the City of Miracles, it was said to be extremely mysterious.
They also thought of ways to tempt them, but unfortunately no one was willing to betray the City of Miracles. And they also learned the news that anyone who had acquired the meditation method could not leak it to anyone who was unrelated to the City of Miracles.
Naturally, they did not believe such mysterious news. In a desperate move, the Tang Sect sent a titled Douluo who was skilled in spiritual power and kidnapped several people outside the City of Miracles.
Not only did he fail to get the meditation method from them, but he was also confronted by Yun Ming and Le Zhengen. The Tang Sect was reluctant to admit the kidnapping of the residents of the City of Miracles. After all, this was not a good reputation.
The people in the Tang Sect area repeatedly denied that they had done such a thing and claimed that they were open to searches. The reason why the Tang Sect dared to say this was mainly because they had secretly sent those kidnapped people to the Heaven Dou City branch and handed them over to researchers for study.
As for why they did not send them to the Shrek City Headquarters, it was mainly because the Shrek City Headquarters was supposed to be the Tang Sect Headquarters. However, due to the complex personnel structure of Shrek City, the Tang Sect's various researches were mainly conducted at the Heaven Dou City branch.
They thought they had nothing to worry about, since no one was in that branch. But they were also puzzled. They had searched those people thoroughly, and found nothing that could be used to call for help. How did the news reach the City of Miracles?
They didn't know that those people were users of the Miracle System. After leaving the City of Miracles, they couldn't access many functions such as detection and dream world, but they could still send and receive messages and locate each other.
And that's what those people did. They contacted the City of Miracles through the Miracle System and reported their kidnapping by the Tang Sect. When Yun Ming and Le Zhengen heard about it, they were furious.
They couldn't understand why the Tang Sect would provoke the City of Miracles, when they had such a powerful advantage. Instead of causing trouble for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, the people from the Tang Sect came to them.
They knew that no one was in that branch. They showed up there with a lot of noise, just to make a big deal out of it. They expected Di Tian, who was stronger than them, to come and rescue them.
Yun Ming and Le Zhengen didn't bother to search the place. They just demanded that they hand over the hostages. The head of the Tang Sect branch thought they had no solid evidence, and they were just guessing that they had taken them.
He was happy to see them waste their time there. After all, Yun Ming and Le Zhengen were the top leaders of the City of Miracles, and Le Zhengen was the current manager. Keeping them there would slow down the development of the City of Miracles and annoy them.
He knew that the City of Miracles had been hurting their business since they opened to the outside world. They had launched various products that competed with theirs.
The cities under the control of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were not too affected. But in places where they didn't have much influence, some of their companies had to close down.
He knew that the Tang Sect was known as the largest arms dealer on Douluo Planet, but that was only a small part of their income. Most of it came from the civilian products made by their various technology companies. After all, there were not many places on Douluo Planet that needed arms. Ordinary people were the majority.
He was calculating how long he could keep Yun Ming and Le Zhengen there, when something unexpected happened. They left the next day with their people. They didn't say much, except for "take care of yourself".
He thought they had given up on the case, because they had more important things to do. He didn't take it seriously.
He thought Le Zhengen's words of "take care of yourself" were just a parting shot. He didn't pay attention to them. The only thing he regretted was that he didn't hold them for a few more days, as he was instructed.
Soon after they left, news broke out that shocked the whole federation. According to the news, the Tang Sect had kidnapped the staff of the City of Miracles, and they were discovered by Di Tian in Heaven Dou City.
In anger, Di Tian led his men to clear out all the members of the Tang Clan branch of Heaven Dou City. If this alone wasn't enough to shock the federation, what shocked the entire federation was that when Di Tian was cleaning up the members of the Tang Sect, he discovered the Tang Sect's arsenal in Heaven Dou City.
