121 Plan (2)

Just like Anping had said, the main reason why the Spirit Pagoda did not take action against the Star Dou Forest was because of the presence of ferocious beasts like Di Tian and others, who had no weaknesses at all and would seek revenge if provoked.

After hearing this, Gu Yuena realized that although the soul beasts were much weaker than humans now, weakness also had its advantages. Humans were more afraid of driving beasts like Di Tian and others into a corner and facing their wrath.

With this in mind, Gu Yuena nodded and said, "In that case, We'll take DiTian and the others with us when When we meet Yun Ming and Yali tomorrow. I hope there won't be any trouble."

At the same time, Gu Yuena felt fortunate that she had chosen to keep Anping by her side instead of pushing him to the human side. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Anping stood against her, and whether the soul beasts would have a chance to survive in the future.

After confirming the meeting with Yun Ming and Yali for the next day, Gu Yuena changed the topic and asked, "I almost forgot to ask, didn't you say that you were working on the problem of not having a martial soul during this period? How did it go?"

Anping did not answer directly, but showed her the results of his research. A book that looked exactly like the one before appeared in front of him, along with black soul rings.

Seeing Gu Yuena's astonished eyes, Anping smiled proudly and said, "How is it? Can you spot any flaws?"

Gu Yuena examined it carefully. She couldn't find any problems with the soul power fluctuations or the soul power levels. She said, "I don't see any flaws. How did you do it?"

Anping explained, "Do you still remember my soul? Even though I lost my previous martial soul, the connection between my soul and me was not severed. The soul rings and soul power levels you sense are actually from my soul."

As Anping made his martial soul return to its soul form, the book floating in front of him flashed with white light and transformed into a white phoenix. It flew around Anping and Gu Yuena and landed on the floor.

The white phoenix was extremely beautiful. Gu Yuena reached out her hand curiously and tried to touch it. Sensing that Gu Yuena's aura was very similar to Anping's, it approached her willingly and pecked the back of her hand, then rubbed its head gently against her palm.

Feeling the touch on her hand, Gu Yuena exclaimed in surprise, "I remember you said it was a hundred-year soul, but now it is so solid."

Anping explained, "It's partly because of the spiritual power I absorbed at the Spirit Ascension Platform, and partly because as I practice, it also benefits from the energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, when I broke through before, all my soul power and soul rings became its."

Gu Yuena nodded and said, "No wonder my soul power is slowly transferring to the Silver Dragon Spear. It seems that it's because the magic power is much higher than the soul power level, but because of their different natures, they can't be assimilated and can only be repelled."

"That should be the case." Anping agreed with Gu Yuena's opinion.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then started their own cultivation.

Early the next morning, before Xu Xiaoyan woke up from meditation, Gu Yuena took Anping and left the hotel. They didn't go far, though. According to the plan they had agreed on, they rented a private room in a teahouse near the hotel. They declined the teahouse owner's service and waited for Di Tian to arrive.

While they waited, Anping played with the tea sets on the table and skillfully brewed some tea. Before he finished, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Yuena, who was watching Anping make tea out of habit, said casually, "Please come in."

The teahouse owner walked in with a smile and said, "Two guests, there are some people downstairs who say they are looking for you. Do you want them to come up?"

Gu Yuena knew it was Di Tian and his companions, and said calmly, "Let them come up."

The teahouse owner left, and soon after, Di Tian entered the room, followed by two women and a burly man.

"We greet the Lord." They bowed to Gu Yuena respectfully.

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Gu Yuena waved her hand, then ignored them and quietly waited for Anping to finish the tea.

Even though they were all great beasts with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, they felt a bit intimidated by Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena didn't say anything, and they just sat there in silence. The burly man tried to speak impatiently several times, but Di Tian shot him a glare.

They didn't have to wait too long, though. After Anping prepared the tea, he poured a cup for each of them and placed it on the table in front of them.

"Di Tian, you have already met them. These three are Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Mr. Xiong ." Gu Yuena pointed her index finger in the air and introduced their names to Anping.

Then she said, "Di Tian, the reason why I called you here this time is because we are going to meet with Yun Ming later. I'm worried that there might be a conflict. I hope you can come with us."

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Di Tian frowned slightly and couldn't understand why Anping and Gu Yuena would want to meet with Yun Ming if they knew there was a risk of a clash.

He thought for a moment, but he couldn't figure out what Anping and Gu Yuena were planning. He asked, "Do we have to meet Yun Ming at this time?"

Seeing Gu Yuena staring at her tea cup without speaking, Anping realized that she had left this question to him. He began to explain to Di Tian and the others why this meeting was necessary.

When Anping told them that this was not the first time they had avoided Yun Ming, and that this time they had no choice but to face him, Mr. Xiong said angrily, "Hmph, he's just Yun Ming. We have so many great beasts to make sure he doesn't come back alive."

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Xiong, I believe that with our strength, killing Yun Ming is not a problem. But now is not the time for a fight. If we kill Yun Ming now, it will only trigger a war between humans and soul beasts sooner than we want."

"The most important thing for us now is to find out what Yun Ming is thinking. It's better not to act rashly. We don't know the full extent of Shrek Academy's power. Even if we don't do anything, Yun Ming probably won't live for much longer."

"My idea is that we invite them to meet here, and you hide in the shadows. If they don't make a move, we'll act as if nothing happened. If they do, we'll kill them with one strike."

After hearing Anping's plan, Di Tian frowned and said, "I have watched Yun Ming from afar. He is the strongest person below the god level. Although we don't fear him, it's not easy to conceal ourselves from him."

"I know that. But I've prepared some props in advance, just in case." He took out a few bracelets from his storage device and handed them to Di Tian. "I should have given these to you a long time ago, but they were delayed because of the materials."

He then explained the function of the bracelets to them. They were mainly used to hide their aura. This included their soul beast aura, energy fluctuations, mental fluctuations, soul fluctuations, and so on.

They had a similar function to the necklace around Anping's neck. As long as they didn't show themselves to others or release a large amount of energy, they wouldn't be detected.

However, Anping's necklace was more focused on shielding him from the will of the plane, not on hiding his energy. After all, at his current age, if others couldn't sense any energy fluctuations in his body, it would raise more suspicion.
