Chapter 3313

The major saw their compliance and said in a soft voice, "You've made the right choice. Causing trouble within the Northern Sea Base is grounds for execution on the spot according to the rules!"

The major who made this statement had not a trace of jest on his face!

This also meant that if Tang Wulin and the others dared to resist, he had every reason to order the soldiers around him to attack!

Xie Xie, already feeling aggrieved, gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, I heard that the higher-ups of the Northsea Legion were mostly former students of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy. Now it seems to be true!"

Xu Xiaoyan revealed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder they're targeting us. With the relationship between Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy and Shrek Academy, that would make sense."

Ye Xinglan frowned and said, "I really don't understand why the academy would report our movements to the Northern Sea Base. Isn't this harming us?"

Yue Zhengyu spoke with a grave tone, "Given what this major intends, he wants to detain us at the Northern Sea Base for fifteen days. If we really have to stay for that long, I'm afraid our mission to the island will fail!"

Tang Wulin whispered, "Don't worry, everyone. We'll find a way to leave later!"

The major glanced at them, his deep eyes clearly seeing through everything...

"If you are thinking about how to escape later, I believe it's pointless, because the current soul technology is not only capable of suppressing Soul Power but even the mind!!"

He clapped his hands and said, "To prevent our friends from Shrek Academy from causing any trouble in the days to come, put them all in a Spiritual Confinement Helmet. Even though they won't be able to eat while wearing it, since they are Soul Masters, starving for over ten days shouldn't kill them."

With those words, the other soldiers of the Northern Sea Base all looked towards Tang Wulin and the rest with pity in their eyes!

The other Daijin's expressions changed dramatically, unable to believe that the Spirit Pagoda would actually make such a decisive move to stop the supply of Artificial Spirit Souls!

One of the Daijin's bellowed, "The Spirit Pagoda dares to tear its face with the Douling Empire! Do they think we are soft persimmons?"

Another Daijin, seemingly unwilling to lose face, chimed in, "Exactly! The Spirit Pagoda must be under the control of the evil Soul Masters by now. Otherwise, how could they make such a move that would hurt themselves as much as the enemy!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since the Spirit Pagoda is limiting Artificial Spirit Souls from entering our Douling Empire, it no longer serves any purpose. Perhaps we should just cut our losses and directly..."

At this point, Xue Yuntian could no longer contain his rage and shouted coldly, "Enough!! All of you, leave!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Daijin's bowed their heads and quickly turned to leave, afraid of being caught in unwarranted disaster!

Once everyone had left, Xue Yuntian took a deep breath to regain a semblance of composure from his anger...

That was when a pale-faced elderly man slowly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, it seems that this matter deeply puzzles you."

Seeing him, Xue Yuntian's eyes showed a trace of respect, "State Preceptor, could you enlighten us? Is there any way to salvage this situation?"

The elderly man was a Super Douluo Level expert who had always served and protected each emperor!

The old man stroked his snow-white beard, his voice exuding an icy chill, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it's time to cleanse the internal affairs of the Douling Empire. If things continue like this, the only thing awaiting the Douling Empire is destruction."

Those fools had messed with the wrong entity: the Spirit Pagoda, the power that controls the lifeline of Soul Masters!

Even the mighty Xingluo Land and Soul Land would have to give way to them!

Xue Yuntian's pupils shrank, "State Preceptor, are you suggesting..."

He hadn't expected that the State Preceptor, who had always protected him from the shadows, could be so ruthless on such matters!

The elder spoke without a change in his expression, "That's right, I've watched with my own eyes as the Douling Empire grew from weakness to what it is today, so we absolutely can't allow those guys to destroy it!"

"If Your Majesty finds it troublesome, you can leave it all to this old minister! No clues will be left behind,"

Xue Yuntian began to think rapidly...

Eventually, for the future of the Douling Empire, he nodded gravely, "Then I'll entrust this matter to you, State Preceptor!"

Perhaps this could also be an excuse to get the Spirit Pagoda to resume sending Artificial Spirit Souls to the Douling Empire!

A strong sense of murderous intent flickered in the elder's eyes, "Within one week, I will make those guys disappear without a trace. By then, Your Majesty, you should know what to do!"

Tang Wulin, who had been rejected, looked visibly disheartened...

But still somewhat unwilling to give up, he asked, "Then, Teacher Mang Tian, can you tell me what level my strength must reach before I'm qualified to know the whereabouts of my parents?"

Seeing this, Mang Tian showed a troubled expression and did not provide a concrete answer...

Mu Chen, standing beside him, spoke up to comfort him, "Little Wulin, if Mang Tian isn't telling you, it must be for your own good!"

Although unclear about the specifics, the reasons behind the disappearance of Tang Wulin's parents must be complicated!

Wulin's eyes reddened slightly as he spoke through clenched teeth, "I understand... It's just that, after so long without any news of them, I..."

Mu Xi beside him showed a look of sympathy, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said softly, "Don't worry, Wulin, your parents will definitely be alright."

After a pause, she added, "Besides, we've finally gathered today after such a long time, so let's not make it so melancholic!"

Mu Chen nodded, "Mu Xi is right. Let's eat, I think Wulin's friends are also waiting for him!"

Mang Tian also comforted him, "Wulin, although I can't tell you their whereabouts, I can assure you that there is no danger to their lives!"

It was then that Tang Wulin came out of his sorrow, wiped the corners of his eyes, and forced a smile, "Okay!"

Even though the answer was vague, just the assurance that his parents were safe was enough!

...

Afterward, after a simple meal, Tang Wulin rushed to the auction and found the spot where Gu Yue and others were sitting...

After sitting down, he couldn't help but express apologize with a tinge of guilt, "Sorry, everyone, I talked over some things with my teachers and came a bit too late!"

Ye Xinglan smiled, "It's okay, there's still plenty of time before dark! Plenty of time to have fun!"

Xu Xiaoyan grumbled, "Yeah, although watching the auction became somewhat visually exhausting!"

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, "Wulin, did you come prepared? Gu Yue spent six hundred thousand on auction items! Be careful; she might drain your finances."
