Chapter 2748: The Battle Ends_1

Xie Xie noticed Tang Wulin's guilt and patted his shoulder, saying, "Yeah, Wulin, don't feel burdened. If it wasn't for you and Gu Yue fending off the Ghost Emperor, we might not even be alive!"

Yue Zhengyu also chimed in, "Right, since we weren't able to finish it off this time, next time, we'll come up with a more thorough plan!"

Xu Xiaoyan revealed a smile, "As long as we're all alive, we will definitely find a way to deal with the Ghost Emperor!"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Thanks, everyone..."

With such a group of companions, he was determined to fight even harder in the next battle against the Ghost Emperor!

Ye Xinglan then looked towards Gu Yuena and inquired, "Gu Yue, you're not hurt, are you?"

She was startled for a moment and replied with a slight calmness, "I'm fine. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about Wulin. He was the one fighting the Ghost Emperor up close all this time!"

She wasn't being modest; during the battle with the Ghost Emperor, she was almost always at the back, using her spiritual power and elements to interfere...

Relieved, Ye Xinglan chuckled, "That's good. But we all saw how well you and Wulin worked together—that synergy is still there!"

Yuanen Yehui affirmed this, "Yes, you two were almost completely suppressing the Ghost Emperor the entire battle. It's truly a pity he got away."

Gu Yuena pursed her lips, then changed the subject, "Now that the Ghost Emperor has left, this battle is also over. Di Tian..."

Upon saying this, Di Tian and Bi Ji, who had been hovering in the sky watching from above, seemed to understand immediately and transformed into human forms...

Then, they, along with the other ferocious beasts, gathered beside Gu Yuena...

Together they said, "My lord!"

Gu Yuena looked at the ferocious beasts and asked coldly, "Di Tian, Bi Ji, why didn't you take action during the previous battle?"

Although she hadn't been paying particular attention, she could sense through her spiritual power that Di Tian and Bi Ji had been above in the sky the whole time...

And they hadn't contributed to the battle...

Guo Xiaoxu and the others also looked their way, clearly dissatisfied with the actions of the ferocious beasts...

While they were fighting hard, these creatures were merely onlookers from not far away!

Di Tian appeared to have anticipated this and respectfully said, "My lord, it wasn't their fault. It was my personal decision."

Gu Yuena's Beautiful Eyes flickered, wanting to say something, but she held back...

In front of everyone, to reprimand Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts would be to reprimand herself...

She immediately turned around and said, "This matter can be discussed after we return to the Spirit Pagoda."

Naturally, Di Tian and the ferocious beasts had no objections, "Yes, my lord."

Tang Wulin seemed to realize something and called out, "Gu..."

But before he could finish, Gu Yuena had already vanished from sight along with the ferocious beasts...

Seeing this, Xie Xie nudged him with his elbow and said quietly, "Wulin, it seems there's still some distance between Gu Yue and you."

Yue Zhengyu crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "I think it's fine. After all, Gu Yue is now the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, and it's only natural that she can't be with us like before."

Xu Xiaoyan yawned comfortably, "That's right. However, through this battle, we've learned that although her status has changed, she is still the same Gu Yue, and that hasn't changed."

Tang Wulin shook his head and then suggested, "Well, it's time to go back to the academy. I'm sure Elder Cai and the others are worried about us."

Just then, Yuanen Yehui suddenly spoke up, "Wait, aren't we forgetting someone?"

Everyone looked at each other, and a name came to mind in all their hearts!

Lan Muzi!

They had all forgotten about him!

Because he was seriously injured, he was still at the previous location, recovering from his wounds!!

...

Spirit Pagoda!

As Gu Yuena and others returned, all the Spirit Pagoda Members became extremely excited...

"Everyone, look quick, it's the Pagoda Master, the Pagoda Master has returned!!"

"This is... this is great, I thought something had happened to the Pagoda Master. It's good that they have returned safely. The federation won't be able to act so arrogantly for long!"

"That's right, the federation wanted to secretly use a God-slaying Level soul-guided missile against our Spirit Pagoda, which is simply insane. Luckily, Lord of the Cold Tower kept a cool head and decisively sent someone to destroy it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena halted in her steps, and with a cold voice turned to look at the member of the Spirit Pagoda and said, "Did you just say, the federation was going to use a God-slaying Level soul-guided missile against our Spirit Pagoda?"

The latter was stunned for a moment, then replied with a face full of outrage, "No... no mistake, Pagoda Master. Those people in the federation are blatantly bullying us. If we hadn't received the information in advance, our entire Spirit Pagoda might have been destroyed in one fell swoop."

In an instant, Gu Yuena's whole body erupted with a chilling murderous intent...

She had never imagined that in the few days when she and Di Tian and other ferocious beasts had been away, the federation had made such a big move!

The Spirit Pagoda was the hope for the rebirth of the Soul Beast Clan. If it were truly to fall, then all their efforts thus far would have been in vain!

Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts could also feel this towering rage...

Immediately, they pressed for answers, "Where is Leng Yaozhu? Where is she?"

The Spirit Pagoda member replied truthfully, "Lord of the Cold Tower is in the resting room on the top floor!"

Gu Yuena suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Di Tian, you all assess the situation. I will go up."

Understanding her intent, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts then began to gather information from the other Spirit Pagoda members...

Only then did Gu Yuena step into the elevator and arrive at the top floor...

When she pushed open the door to the resting room, she saw Leng Yaozhu resting with her eyes closed...

Feeling the arrival of the other, Leng Yaozhu slowly opened her eyes and said, "Gu Yuena, you're here."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, "Mm."

Leng Yaozhu continued, "Then, you must also know about the federation's plan to use a God-slaying Level soul cannonball against the Spirit Pagoda, right?"

Gu Yuena affirmed, "I just heard it from a Spirit Pagoda member. But it seems that the federation's plan didn't succeed."

The federation would not stop its use of the God-slaying Level soul cannonball simply out of sympathy for the Spirit Pagoda. The only possibility was that Leng Yaozhu had taken some action!

Taking a deep breath, Leng Yaozhu elaborated, "That's right, the moment we received the news, I had all our members who were undercover in the federation take action!"

"Luckily, before its release, we managed to destroy the God-slaying Level soul cannonball. However, we can't let this matter rest as it is!"

"Gu Yuena, you think the same, don't you?"

She knew the former's character well; Gu Yuena would undoubtedly launch an even stronger retaliation against the federation!

Gu Yuena didn't deny it, but instead said in a cold tone, "Since the federation has made such a move while I was away from the Spirit Pagoda, they naturally cannot just get away with it!"

However, since they had not managed to kill the Ghost Emperor, they couldn't retaliate immediately!
