Next Step

Qiangu Dongfeng continued without waiting for anyone else's opinion: "You don't have to worry about the Tang Sect moving to the Dou Ling Empire. The current Dou Ling Empire has a cooperation agreement with us. Unless they want to give up the soul rings and soul bones we provide them, they won't accept the Tang Sect."

"And even if the Tang Sect does move to the Dou Ling Empire, I guarantee they won't get far. The only thing we should worry about is Tang San's spiritual consciousness. If he suddenly comes out to support the Tang Sect, that would be troublesome."

Qiangu Dongfeng spoke with confidence. He had personally visited the Dou Ling Empire several times because of their problems. He knew that the soul masters of that country would not improve unless they thought about the future. They would not welcome the Tang Sect.

And now, the Tang Sect branch in the Douluo Empire had lost the favor of the Dou Ling Empire royal family. They would not get any benefits from them. The military business that the Tang Sect used to provide was also taken over by the City of Miracles under Qiangu Dongfeng's leadership.

But they did it in the name of the Spirit Pagoda, and the City of Miracles did not directly intervene. Even so, the royal family of the Dou Ling Empire was not fooled. They knew that the Spirit Pagoda mainly focused on souls, not military technology. They realized that the Spirit Pagoda had gotten the products from the City of Miracles.

Now that the Spirit Pagoda had allied with the City of Miracles and was protecting them openly and secretly, the choice for the Dou Ling Empire was clear.

Their Dou Ling Empire was the weakest of the three empires on Douluo Star. Relying on the City of Miracles was a good deal for them. But it also had a downside: they had to worry about being devoured and left with nothing.

Anping, who was drinking tea leisurely, put down his cup and said, "Don't worry about Tang San's spiritual consciousness. There's no way he can cause trouble for us now that the divine world is missing."

Anping was not worried at all about Tang San's spiritual consciousness. He had tested him several times and had learned a lot about him. Tang San was very cautious and he would not show up without absolute certainty.

He knew that the abyss had been there for a long time. It was there before the God Realm disappeared. He had planned for the abyss for thousands of years. He would not abandon his plan now.

Besides, the current federation was called the Sun and Moon Federation, and Tang San had once stopped the unification of the continent. Although this incident had been mostly forgotten over time, it was still recorded in the history of the Federation.

And no miracle had happened on Douluo Planet for ten thousand years, so the only people who truly believed in him were the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. He might cause some trouble for Tang Wulin, but he would not have much impact by standing up.

Anping said that with a godlike being like Di Tian in the City of Miracles, Tang San's mere consciousness was nothing compared to him. After all, he wouldn't sacrifice his divine consciousness for the sake of the Tang Sect, especially when Tang Hao and A Yin couldn't act.

Le Zhengen asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"

Anping nodded slightly and explained: "First of all, the Tang Sect is the force he founded 20,000 years ago. No matter how close they were back then, things have changed a lot since then. Besides, the people of the Tang Sect are only mortals, but he is a god king. You must know that when the Tang Sect was almost wiped out thousands of years ago, he never intervened."

"Secondly, there is Tang Wulin. If he shows up, someone will surely figure out his identity. As the son of a god, he will attract the attention of many secret forces, who will try to capture him or use him for their own purposes."

"Lastly, he doesn't want to disappear. Nana and I once destroyed a fragment of his consciousness that he left in the ice and fire eyes. He must have felt it. He needs to keep the connection with his main body, so he can monitor the situation on Douluo Star. He won't risk his life by coming out."

Everyone was a bit surprised by Anping's explanation. They didn't know much about Anping and Gu Yuena's encounter with Tang San's consciousness.

Leng Yu then asked: "Since you and Nana can destroy his consciousness, why don't you just get rid of it completely? If I remember correctly, it's on Tang Wulin, right?"

Anping shook his head slightly and said: "Now is not the time. After all, Douluo Star still has his parents'. Although Tang San's consciousness is easy to destroy, it might trigger Tang Hao and Ah Yin's death. That would be a disaster."

They understood what he meant. Tang San's consciousness was the medium they used to communicate with the divine world. If they cut off that medium, Tang Hao and Ah Yin might do something drastic.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and his friends from the City of Miracles Soul Master Academy also learned the news from the internet. When they saw it, their first thought was that it was impossible.

They were the key trainees of the Tang Sect, and they knew how well the Tang Sect defended itself. How could it be breached so easily, let alone its most important underground arsenal?

But when they saw that the leader was Di Tian, they had to admit that the Tang Sect had no defense against a god-level being.

They faced the scornful looks of the people around them, and they wanted to take action. But they knew in their hearts that they couldn't cause any trouble under these circumstances, or else Shrek Academy might not be able to protect them.

They gave up on the classes they had been attending and went back to their residence.

After they got back, Xie Xie said angrily: "The people in the City of Miracles are too much. We didn't do anything to them, but they attacked our Tang Sect first. Wulin, what should we do now?"

Tang Wulin, as the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters, had to make a decision in this situation. He felt torn and confused. They had come here with a goal, but they had not achieved it. And now they faced a dilemma.

He wondered if he should leave quietly now. But wouldn't that mean he had wasted all his time and effort in training? He had gained nothing from this trip.

But if he stayed here, he didn't expect any mercy from the people of Miracle City. They had attacked his Tang Sect, and they would not spare him or his friends. And even if they didn't harm them, he hated being looked down upon and ridiculed every day.
