Chapter 2369: Agree to Cooperate_1

"Crack" When Tang Wulin pushed open the door and entered the luxurious private room, all the students from Shrek cast curious glances...

"Senior Tang Wulin has arrived, the meeting must have ended!"

"Hmm, though we don't know what happened, Senior Tang Wulin seems to be in a good mood, so it probably wasn't anything serious!"

"Shh, quiet down, Senior Tang Wulin must have something to say!"

Scratching his head, Tang Wulin chuckled, "Well... you guys don't need to look at me with those eyes."

Xie Xie suddenly stood up, extended his arm to drape it around his shoulder, and asked, "Wulin, you're finally back. How did the meeting go, what was discussed?"

The other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters also showed a hint of curiosity...

Tang Wulin said stoically, "The meeting went smoothly, representatives from all the major powers were present, and as for the content, we simply discussed how the major powers could join forces and how to deal with the Abyssal Creature Army!"

However, a trace of loneliness flickered in his eyes as he spoke...

Yuanen Yehui caught that expression well, and puzzledly asked, "Wulin, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

If the meeting went so smoothly, why didn't he seem very happy?

Yue Zhengyu propped up his chin, adding seriously, "Yeah, it feels like you're emitting a sort of indescribable loneliness, Wulin!"

Xu Xiaoyan twirled around Tang Wulin, suspiciously saying, "Wait, let me guess... The representatives from all the major powers came, so that means the representative from the Spirit Pagoda was Gu Yue?"

"But, you're the Sea God Pavilion Master, and she's the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, there must be some estrangement between you two!"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin was baffled, not expecting her intuition to be so accurate!

Seeing his reaction, Ye Xinglan whispered, "Xiao Yan, it seems like you must have guessed right!"

Xu Xiaoyan patted her chest proudly, declaring, "Of course, the only one who can easily sway Wulin's mood is Gu Yue!"

As Tang Wulin's expression grew increasingly troubled, Yuanen Yehui coughed into her hand, "Cough...cough... Let's not interfere, it's Wulin and Gu Yue's private matter after all!"

After a pause, she changed the subject, "By the way, Wulin, where are the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion? Where did they go?"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "I'm not sure, they must have other matters to attend to."

It was indeed odd that they hadn't included him, their Pavilion Master.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Just then, the communicator in his pocket suddenly buzzed...

After connecting, a female voice came through, "Hello, is that Wulin?"

Tang Wulin's pupils constricted as he immediately recognized the voice and asked urgently, "July, it's me, how's the situation with the abyss on your end?"

Jiang Qiyue spoke with immense gravity, "The defensive line established by the Blood God Army has been completely destroyed by the Abyssal Creature Army. Just a while ago, I ordered the remaining Blood God Army members to withdraw!"

"How about your side? Have you set up the defenses? The Abyssal Creature Army won't take long to reach the city!"

Tang Wulin frowned and honestly replied, "The major powers had a discussion at the federation, and the defenses should be formally established by tomorrow!"

Damn, the Abyssal Creature Army is invading faster than imagined!

After contemplating momentarily, Jiang Qiyue continued, "I see, so where are you now? I'll lead the remaining members of the Blood God Army over immediately!"

Tang Wulin explained, "All the students from Shrek and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are at the Federation Headquarters!"

He paused for a moment, puzzledly asking, "Wait, why can't I hear Ling Wuyue and Long Yuxue's voices?"

Jiang Qiyue was silent for a few seconds, "Wuyue sacrificed herself to buy time for the others, and Yuxue has fallen into a coma, showing no signs of awakening yet!"

"Alright, that's it for now, I will head to the Federation Headquarters as soon as possible!"

With that said, he ended the communication...

Seeing Tang Wulin's complexion turn extremely ugly, Ye Xinglan attempted to ask, "Wulin, was that a call from Gu Yue?"

Tang Wulin denied, "No, it was July. She told me that the defensive line set up by the Blood God Army has been breached by the Abyssal Creature Army, and I fear it won't be long before they start attacking the city!"

"Besides, Ling Wuyue has sacrificed herself, and Long Yuxue is also unconscious."

Now, only he and Jiang Qiyue were left in the Blood Dragon Squad!

Yuanen Yehui pressed her lips together, seemingly understanding the former's feelings, and consoled, "So Wuyue has been sacrificed... But don't worry, Wulin, once Jiang Qiyue brings Long Yuxue here, Elder Ya'li will surely be able to cure her."

Tang Wulin forced a smile, "Mm... What I'm worried about now isn't this, but whether all the major powers can complete their defense preparations before the abyssal creatures invade!"

Xu Xiaoyan suggested, "Then Wulin, why don't you go and report this to the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion right now? This matter is of great significance."

Tang Wulin didn't refuse and nodded his head, then swiftly left...

After he had left, Xie Xie finally spoke up, "Do you guys think, Wulin won't be in trouble, right?"

Yue Zhengyu waved his hand, "Don't worry, such a blow is nothing to him. After all, he is the Sea God Pavilion Master, we should believe in him."

Ye Xinglan agreed with this, "Mm, Wulin should be aware of what's at stake. He won't make a foolish move at this critical juncture!"

...

Douling Empire!

The Ghost Emperor's gaze was frosty to the extreme, "How about it? His Majesty the Emperor of the Douling Empire, I believe the Holy Spirit Cult has already proven its capability to help you unify the Continent. It's time to give an answer now!"

If refused, he wouldn't mind slaying the other party right here!

As for that Limit Douluo Level elder, how laughable, he couldn't possibly be a match for the Ghost Emperor himself!

The elder looked at Xue Yuntian, inquiring, "Your Majesty, shall we agree to his terms?"

After speaking, he readied himself for battle...

He didn't believe that, should negotiations fail, the Ghost Emperor would simply leave!

More likely, he'd slay Xue Yuntian on the spot to prop up a puppet emperor!

Xue Yuntian took a deep breath, staring back at the Ghost Emperor, "Fine... I agree to cooperate with your Holy Spirit Cult, but first, I need to see the item!"

The Ghost Emperor snorted coldly, casually tossing out a Soul Guidance Storage Device...

"What you want is inside here!"

Xue Yuntian caught it and eagerly used his Soul Power to probe it. When he confirmed it indeed held what he wanted, he finally allowed a smile to appear...

The Ghost Emperor warned out of the blue, "I hope you won't go back on your word. The wrath of the Holy Spirit Cult is not something the Douling Empire can afford to bear!"

Xue Yuntian was undaunted, "Of course. However, if I find that the Holy Spirit Cult is incapable of helping the Douling Empire rule the Continent, our cooperation will end immediately!"

The eyes beneath the Ghost Emperor's mask looked deeply into his for a long moment without a word more, then the whole figure merged into the dark mist and vanished...
