Guo Xiaoxu's expression turned bitter, and helplessly she took out the Three-Word Battle Armor that Tang Wulin had forged from her storage soul tool…
Zang Xin took it and scrutinized it carefully before saying thoughtfully, "No wonder, Hall Master Guo, you were bought over. This hastily forged Three-Word Battle Armor seems to be of even higher quality than the one you're currently using!"
"I'm even starting to wonder if this Three-Word Battle Armor was really forged by Tang Wulin within two weeks!"
However, Guo Xiaoxu said seriously, "Sect Leader, although I do want this Three-Word Battle Armor, it is indeed personally forged by Tang Wulin, and furthermore… his forging technique is worth learning from by our Tang Sect!"
She certainly wouldn't cover up the truth just for a Three-Word Battle Armor!
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin chuckled lightly and said, "Of course, I trust that Hall Master Guo and Hall Master Liang wouldn't do such a thing. Put it away!"
Guo Xiaoxu was momentarily stunned, "Eh…"
The former glanced at her and said, "What's the matter? If you don't want it, then give it to Hall Master Liang!"
Without another word, Guo Xiaoxu immediately put away the Three-Word Battle Armor, "Want it, of course I want it. That guy just betrayed me, how could I possibly give it to him!"
If she ever trusted him again, she must have had her head smashed in a door…
Taking a deep breath, Zang Xin changed the subject and said, "Contact Hall Master Zhao, and see how the martial contest for marriage is going!"
There were also quite a few disciples from their Tang Sect who participated!
Guo Xiaoxu nodded, then used the communicator to call Zhao Chong…
Soon, a voice came from the other end, "Hall Master Guo, is there a problem?"
Guo Xiaoxu said calmly, "It's the Sect Leader who told me to contact you, how are things on your side!"
Zhao Chong asked in confusion, "Are you referring to the disciples from our Tang Sect or that kid, Tang Wulin?"
Guo Xiaoxu felt somewhat speechless, "Naturally, it's Tang Wulin!"
Although the disciples of Tang Sect are not weak in actual combat, they are still slightly inferior to the Spirit Pagoda and the federation!
The notion of winning the championship of the martial contest for marriage was simply impossible!
Zhao Chong then replied, "Oh… that kid is about to advance to the finals. I took a brief look, and it seems no one can match him!"
"Of course, except for some older folks who also decided to muddy the waters!"
After all, that guy's first opponent was a Titled Douluo over twenty-five years old!!
Guo Xiaoxu pursed her thin lips, "I see. Then, as soon as he wins the championship of the martial contest for marriage, make sure he returns to Tang Sect immediately!"
"Understood! I will!"
...
Sea God's Lake!
Ya Li, who was walking toward him, by chance, saw Xu Sheng, who was gazing at the lake...
Without delay, she walked to his side and said softly, "Elder Xu, how come you're so leisurely now, being alone by Sea God's Lake?"
Xu Sheng came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing much, just thinking about a lot of things from the past!"
If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have released Poseissi; at least he would have someone to talk to!
A hint of curiosity spread across Ya Li's eyes, "About the past, if it's okay, could you tell me a bit about it?"
"Buzz buzz buzz…"
Before her words finished, her Sky-Piercing Spear started resonating...
Ya Li gently stroked the Sky-Piercing Spear, "I understand, I won't pry into Elder Xu's affairs."
Xu Sheng glanced at her, "Elder Ya'li, if possible, could you hand me the Sky-Piercing Spear for a moment?"
Hearing this, Ya Li didn't hesitate, handing over the Sky-Piercing Spear...
Xu Sheng infused it with Life Force, and vaguely a ghostly figure appeared by his side…
It was indeed Yun Ming, who had already fallen!
Upon seeing this, Ya'li cheerfully said, "Yun Ming, you..."
Xu Sheng explained, "Elder Ya'li, this is just a phantom."
Yun Ming then lowered his head to look at his illusory body, and with a complex expression said, "Unworthy as I am, Elder Xu, I just felt a surge of powerful energy enter my body. If I'm not mistaken, it was Life Force, wasn't it?"
Ya'li exclaimed in astonishment, "Life Force? Isn't that the power from Demon Island? Why would Elder Xu possess it?"
The seven Old Demons who should have fallen long ago were only able to continue their existence because of the Life Force from Demon Island!
Before Xu Sheng could answer, Yun Ming glanced sideways and said, "Ya'li, could you leave us for a moment? I have some matters I'd like to discuss alone with Elder Xu."
Despite some confusion in her heart, she agreed, "Well... okay then."
And so, only Yun Ming and Xu Sheng were left.
After quietly staring at the lake for several minutes, Xu Sheng finally said calmly, "Does the Pavilion Master have any questions?"
Yun Ming took a deep breath, "If I'm not mistaken, the seven Old Demons were killed by Elder Xu, weren't they?"
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Why do you ask?"
Yun Ming said earnestly, "Because, the only one who could easily break through the seal of Demon Island without leaving any trace, besides Elder Xu, I don't know who else has such strength!"
"And that includes the use of Life Force just now..."
Even at my peak, to break through the seal of Demon Island, I would have to pay a hefty price!
Xu Sheng's emotions did not fluctuate at all as he casually said, "I did not kill them, I just reclaimed the Life Force and the Destruction Force!"
Yun Ming's pupils narrowed, "Life Force and Destruction Force? Aren't those the powers left behind from the Divine Realm thousands of years ago?"
Afterward, he seemed to understand something...
He sighed, "Indeed, Elder Xu... you are not from the Lower Realm!"
This time, Xu Sheng did not deny it, "Correct, knowing all this, do you plan to tell the other Elders?"
Yun Ming bitterly smiled and shook his head, "No... I'm already a dead man, I have no intention of worrying about these matters anymore."
"Besides, I believe that Elder Xu must have a necessary reason for doing this!"
"Is that so... Then you don't hate the seven Old Demons for dying because of me?" Xu Sheng stared intently into the former's eyes...
Yun Ming shook his head, "No, because for the seven Old Demons, it might also be a kind of release."
"They lived for so long, yet they could never escape from Demon Island, that's more like a curse!!"
At these words, Xu Sheng couldn't help but extend an invitation, "Pavilion Master, if there's a chance, would you like to ascend to the Divine Realm?"
Yun Ming jokingly said, "Can Ya'li ascend to the Divine Realm too?"
Xu Sheng did not speak, but his calm demeanor explained everything!
Yun Ming heartily laughed, "Then forget it, although I long for the Divine Realm, if my beloved is not with me, what difference is there from Hell!"
"Elder Xu might want to keep an eye on Tang Wulin, that kid!"
"He doesn't need worrying over, after all, he's the child of Sea God Tang San..."
Yun Ming initially showed a look of surprise, then calmed down within a few seconds...
He expressed with emotion, "To learn so many secrets today, even if I dissipate now, it's worth it!"
