Tang Wulin carefully set down the body of the evil Soul Master and breathed a sigh of relief...
At the same time, Yuanen Yehui's cry of alarm sounded from inside, "Wulin, hurry over here! There are many people being imprisoned; come quickly and see if your parents are among them!"
The former instantly snapped to attention and rushed to Yuanen Yehui's location, scrutinizing every imprisoned person!
But he did not see his parents as he remembered them!
He immediately shook his head and said, "Ye Hui, my parents aren't here!"
Upon hearing their conversation, those who were imprisoned also came to realize their situation, and their cheeks lit up with elation...
"You're not evil Soul Masters, right? Hurry and save us, we are all innocent!"
"Yes, those evil Soul Masters and people from the Spirit Pagoda brought us here, we've been imprisoned for a full ten years!!"
"Please, you must save us!!"
"As long as you save me, I can give you ten million federation coins, I have plenty of money!!"
Watching the noisy atmosphere, Tang Wulin reassured, "Everyone, please calm down. We are from Shrek Academy. After finding my parents, we will rescue everyone at once!"
He was human, naturally, he had his own priorities; he hadn't even found his own parents yet, how could he have time to care about others!
Besides, once they let them go, if people from the Spirit Pagoda discovered them, the plan would be ruined!
"That's great, Shrek Academy has finally noticed that the Spirit Pagoda has been taken over by evil Soul Masters and has sent someone to rescue us!"
"As long as we can be saved, let alone waiting a little while, even a day, a week, a month would do!"
"Finally... finally, there's a chance to escape this evil place!"
"Half an hour should be enough, right? If you don't rescue me by then, don't blame me for snitching to the Spirit Pagoda folks!"
Yuanen Yehui's face turned cold, "This guy might disrupt our plan, Wulin, maybe we should take care of him..."
This brief sentence was actually filled with the intention to kill!
They were clearly here to help, yet it was being used as a condition for threats!
But Tang Wulin stopped her, taking a deep look at the man who'd just spoken, "Let's go, let's check the upper levels!"
He didn't want to waste time on this kind of person!
Yuanen Yehui let out a cold "hmpf," suppressing her urge to kill...
After that, they searched several more levels upwards, still not finding Tang Wulin's parents!
...
As time passed by the minutes and seconds, Xie Xie and Gu Yue arrived at the sixth floor!
After killing the Spirit Pagoda members and evil Soul Masters guarding the place, they successfully located the imprisonment area!
Xie Xie glanced over the people in the cells and said, "Is there anyone here who recognizes Tang Wulin?"
Upon hearing this, the people's faces showed signs of fear, and they began to shake their heads in denial...
"No... we don't know, who is Tang Wulin?"
"We don't know, we don't know, we've never heard of this person!"
"I haven't heard of Tang Wulin or any other Lin, stop causing us trouble!"
In their eyes, those wearing black robes were naturally evil Soul Masters!
Acknowledging any connection could mean being implicated and experiencing inhuman torture!
Xie Xie sighed, "It seems Wulin's parents aren't here, let's leave."
Gu Yue softly responded with a "Mhm!"
Just as they were preparing to leave, a somewhat hoarse voice called out from behind...
"Wait, are you by any chance Wulin's companions?"
Gu Yue immediately turned around and saw the man who had just spoken!
His body was wrapped in a layer of thick bandages, it was clear that he had recently suffered a severe beating!
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked, "Could you possibly be Tang Ziran, Tang Wulin's father?"
Tang Ziran, with a look of joy, said, "Yes, that's me!"
Xie Xie immediately called out, "Understood!"
Wielding the Light and Dark Dragon Dagger, his first soul ring lit up beneath his feet, and he slashed towards the door imprisoning Tang Ziran...
With a loud "Bang!" the entire door instantly shattered into pieces...
The two of them rushed in immediately, chopped off the chains on Tang Ziran, and successfully rescued him...
Tang Ziran, having regained his freedom, immediately said, "There's also Wulin's mother, she is being held in a place guarded by a Hyper Douluo!"
Gu Yue's brows furrowed, "It seems we need to hurry."
Xie Xie bent down, "Uncle, let me carry you."
Tang Ziran did not refuse, "That would be much appreciated!"
He was very clear about his own condition, as his Achilles tendons had been severed, even walking was difficult!
As Xie Xie lifted him on his back, Gu Yue also took out a communicator to dial Tang Wulin, then handed it to Tang Ziran...
"Wulin!"
On the other side, Tang Wulin said excitedly, "Dad... Dad, is that you? Dad!"
Gu Yue took the communicator back and said, "Wulin, calm down, your dad has been rescued by us, but your mother is currently imprisoned in..."
Before she could finish, Yuanen Yehui's voice came through, "Gu Yue, meet at the top level, we've been exposed! Sszzz..."
With that, the communication was forcibly cut off...
Tang Ziran voiced his concern, "Wulin won't be in danger, right?"
Xie Xie tried to maintain a forced smile, "Don't worry, Uncle, Wulin is now a Soul Douluo level strongman, he can even hold his own against a Titled Douluo!"
Gu Yue said in a stern voice, "Yes, but now, Uncle, please lead the way for us!"
Tang Ziran was all business, "Now, head to the left..."
...
Clutching the communicator in his hand, Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! The call was cut off, these damn evil Soul Masters!"
Yuanen Yehui glanced back at the pursuing evil Soul Masters and Spirit Pagoda members, stating gravely, "Wulin, there are too many of them chasing us, I'll hold them off, you go to the top floor and meet up with Gu Yue and the others, rescue your aunt!"
Tang Wulin was tempted, but he still said with determination, "No, if we're going, we go together!"
His parents were important, but leaving his companions behind was absolutely not an option!
Seeing this, Yuanen Yehui shouted angrily, "Wulin, now is not the time for loyalty, Gu Yue and the others are with your uncle, they'll definitely have trouble fighting the evil Soul Masters!"
"Do you want us all to die in the Spirit Pagoda??"
Tang Wulin was jolted, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally said guiltily, "Yehui... you must be careful!"
With that, he immediately burst forth at his fastest speed towards the front...
This was the time Yuanen Yehui was buying for him at the risk of his own life; he couldn't let it be in vain!
As he watched Tang Wulin disappear from his view, Yuanen Yehui's cold gaze then turned towards the many Spirit Pagoda members in front...
After releasing his Fallen Angel Martial Spirit, his first soul skill lit up at his feet...
"Alright, now it's your turn, you scum!"
