Chapter 3379: A Fight to the Death

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaoxu didn't even entertain the idea of fighting back and hastened her escape...

And her intention was naturally seen through by the Thousand Demon King, who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years. "Human, you think you can come and go as you please? You're underestimating me!"

With a mere thought, countless tough-as-iron vines burst forth from beneath where Guo Xiaoxu stood, weaving together to form a massive web that sealed off all the exits...

She gritted her teeth and a soul ring lit up beneath her feet...

She mercilessly launched an attack on the vines blocking her path...

However, her attack only left faint marks that were hard to distinguish unless looked at closely...

Guo Xiaoxu's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? My attack had no effect?"

Although she hadn't unleashed her full strength, she should not have been thwarted by some plants!

This Thousand Demon King with a cultivation level breaking through the 540,000-year mark was indeed difficult to deal with!

If she was not careful, she might truly lose her life here today!

Seeing this, the Thousand Demon King also let out a mocking laugh, "Human, don't fantasize about leaving. With your strength, even if you could break through, how would it matter? I can reinforce it in an instant!"

"If you're still a man, then fight me. At least you can leave a whole corpse!!"

With no hope of escape, Guo Xiaoxu turned around, fixing her gaze steadfastly on the Thousand Demon King...

"Thousand Demon King, we have no grievances or grudges, do we really have to go this far?"

"Even if your cultivation has reached 540,000 years, if I fight with all my might, it's not certain that I will be unscathed!"

The attitude of the Thousand Demon King remained unchanged, "Human, I've already said it, anyone who enters this area, no matter who, must die!"

"That is the command of the master!"

Guo Xiaoxu pursed her lips, "Master? Are you referring to Gu Yuena? It seems she anticipated that someone would sneak into the soul beast forest!"

"Not only that, once the secrets of the soul beast forest are known to outsiders, it would likely... have a tremendous impact on the Spirit Pagoda!!"

Thinking of this, she shook her head vigorously...

Now, it was pointless to consider these things, she should focus on how to stay alive and leave!

Since the other party was under Gu Yuena's command, there was probably no chance of mercy!

If that was the case...

"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

If she kept hiding her skills, there would be no chance at all!

Upon releasing her Martial Soul True Body, her strength soared several times over!

The Thousand Demon King, unfazed, continued to sneer, "Oh? You're using your Martial Soul True Body. It seems you know that without showing your full strength, there's no way to survive under my hands!"

"Of course, the end result won't change, because after all, I am second only to those few."

Guo Xiaoxu's eyes became sharp, "Enough talk. Today, even if I die, I'll make sure you get a taste of trouble!"

"Take this!"

...

Shrek Academy!

Sea God's Pavilion!

Cai Yue'er looked at Tang Wulin, whose spirits had somewhat recovered, and asked with concern, "Pavilion Master, you seem to be a bit better. I suppose you have calmed down, haven't you?"

The latter chuckled lightly, "Elder Cai, I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."

"Of course, I also appreciate everyone else's thoughts!"

After a whole day of contemplation, he had come to terms with everything!

Even if Gu Yuena had rejected him, as long as he could confirm she bore no hostility towards humanity, that was enough!

```

The rest, I leave to her husband to handle!

Xu Xiaoyan blinked, "Wulin, let's not talk about things like that anymore, it's good enough that you're unharmed!"

Xie Xie nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, I thought you would be skinnier for a few days, but I didn't expect you would have recovered your vitality so quickly, not bad at all!"

Yuanen Yehui commented indifferently, "Hmm, if such a minor setback were to cause you to sink into despondency, it would be unworthy of the title of the Sea God Pavilion Master!"

Yue Zhengyu widened his eyes and coughed, "Uh... Yehui, that's not something you should be saying, right?"

Xu Lizhi muttered quietly, "Well, uh... this is the Sea God Pavilion after all, everyone should be cautious here!"

"Ma... although I have gotten used to it!"

The Sea God Pavilion now, compared to before, doesn't have as much strife. It could even be described as a gathering!

Thus, there aren't so many complicated protocols.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin immediately interjected, "Everyone, let's leave my matters at that, it has been a long time since the last Sea God Pavilion meeting!"

It's best not to discuss my personal affairs here at the Sea God Pavilion.

Seeing this, the rest also resumed a serious demeanor…

Tang Wulin then looked at Cai Yue'er, "Elder Cai, please share with us the recent events."

During this time, he, apart from striving to reach the God Rank, had hardly managed Shrek Academy!

So, he wasn't too familiar with the recent happenings!

The latter gladly accepted and then recounted, "In this period, there hasn't been much on the continent that warrants attention."

"Only the Spirit Pagoda's recent actions are a bit strange."

Tang Wulin was taken aback for a moment, "The Spirit Pagoda again, did Gu Yue do something behind my back during this time?"

Of course, that was just a thought in his mind…

Xie Xie took the initiative to ask, "Elder Cai, what's going on with the Spirit Pagoda?"

The others also showed a curious expression…

Cai Yue'er didn't keep them in suspense and answered directly, "The Spirit Pagoda deployed a large number of Soul Masters, completely sealing off the entire soul beast forest, barring entry to anyone, regardless of their power!"

"Even us at Shrek Academy were prevented from investigating!"

Xie Xie's mouth twitched, "Completely sealed? It's just like Gu Yue, truly domineering!"

Yue Zhengyu commented offhandedly, "I find it normal, the Spirit Pagoda is now huge, and not many forces would dare to offend. She knows this, and I guess that's why she did it."

Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "Something so important must have happened that Gu Yue wouldn't hesitate to deploy so many Soul Masters to seal off the soul beast forest!"

"But not even letting us from Shrek Academy in, isn't that a bit too heartless!"

Xu Lizhi took a deep breath, "Gu Yue is now the master of the Spirit Pagoda, naturally, she has to think for the Spirit Pagoda, I can understand that!"

"However, I am still very curious about what happened in the soul beast forest!"

After pondering for a moment, Yuanen Yehui suggested, "Why don't I go check out the soul beast forest?"

With my strength, as long as I don't encounter several ferocious beasts at the same time, there shouldn't be any problem!

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin hastily stopped him, "Yehui, let's not, don't make things difficult for Gu Yue over such matters!"

If Gu Yue gets angry, she won't consider much!

After all, her plan to revive the Soul Beast Clan is the most important thing, all else can be abandoned after weighing the pros and cons!
