Yueguan propped up his chin, pondering, "That's not a bad idea, Lao Gui, what do you think?"
The Gui Mei beside him decisively vetoed, "No, the Aquipeia Forest at night is frequented by soul beasts. You've just obtained your soul ring and still can't fully control your soul skill. If you encounter a powerful soul beast, the situation will be very dangerous!"
"For your safety, let's leave for today and come back tomorrow to hunt!"
After all, there was no rule that required returning to Martial Soul City today!
Xu Sheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he spoke indifferently, "But seniors, it's already this late, let me hunt on my own."
These two fellows weren't falling for it; it seemed escaping using this excuse would be somewhat difficult!
Gui Mei seemed to sense something from his words, warningly said, "Kid… we can watch you hunt soul beasts, but it's best not to play any tricks, or else."
Upon hearing this, Yueguan also seemed to think of something, suspiciously said, "You kid, are you trying to slip away from us, planning to escape the Aquipeia Forest alone?"
From the very first glance, they knew he wasn't honest!
Xu Sheng pursed his lips and waved his hand, "Of course not, without the protection of you two seniors, I'm not even sure I can make it out alive."
Yueguan's gaze was fixed on him, and after tens of seconds, he couldn't see anything unusual…
So he said in a cold voice, "I doubt you'd dare, defying His Holiness's orders could be very dangerous!"
Before leaving, Bi Bidong had warned them, if they truly couldn't bring him back to Martial Soul Hall or make use of him, then they were to dispose of him in secret!
Xu Sheng didn't know what to say at that moment…
But suddenly, he seemed to sense a kind of heart-palpitating presence…
In his heart, he thought, "Wait, this presence… the Titan Ape??"
Perhaps, he could use it to get rid of the two of them!
Similarly, Yueguan naturally noticed that something was off, his face turning serious in an instant, "Lao Gui, did you sense that? That presence just now…"
Gui Mei confirmed, "It's unmistakable, it must be one of the ferocious beasts of the Aquipeia Forest, the Titan Ape!"
"Do not make any movements for now, otherwise, it might very well attract that ferocious beast's attention!"
"Especially you, kid!"
The latter statement was clearly directed at Xu Sheng!
The latter, seeing this, confidently said, "Don't worry, Ghost Douluo senior, I don't plan to die at the hands…"
"Thump!"
Before he could finish speaking, the pebbles underfoot tumbled down below…
Facing the icy stares from the two, Xu Sheng awkwardly explained, "It was just a stone falling, it shouldn't… attract the ferocious beast's attention, right?"
Unbeknownst to them, behind them, a towering figure hundreds of meters tall had quietly emerged…
Those muscular arms, the crimson eyes, it was unmistakably the Titan Ape!!
"Roar!!"
With a furious roar, the entire space erupted with a violent gale…
Even Yueguan and Gui Mei were forced to retreat several steps…
Xu Sheng, on the other hand, was directly blown away by the chaotic current, disappearing from view…
After regaining their composure, Gui Mei, realizing something was amiss, his pupils suddenly contracted, "No, the kid did that on purpose!!"
Yueguan also came to a realization, facing the enormous creature said, "Lao Gui, hold off the Titan Ape, I'll go and catch that kid!!"
But he had made a miscalculation!
The Titan Ape's arms smashed down violently onto the ground, and within a hundred meter radius, the gravity suddenly increased by tens of times…
Making it extremely difficult for the former to even take a step, let alone catch up to Xu Sheng, who had vanished…
Murderous intent flickered in Gui Mei's eyes, "No choice then, we have to deal with the Titan Ape first!"
Afterwards, they would go and catch that kid!
Yueguan said with a worried face, "But our Soul Power has already been depleted by a large margin, I'm afraid we are not its match!"
If they were in their prime condition, even if they were not victorious, escaping would be effortless!
But now, every step is arduous!
One must not let oneself catch that kid; otherwise, one would definitely make him experience what real pain is!!
In contrast, Xu Sheng, who had opened up some distance, wasn't aware of anyone pursuing him from behind...
He then said with a light chuckle, "Thanks to the appearance of the Titan Ape, Yueguan and Gui Mei, whose Soul Power is exhausted, should be unable to catch up in a short period!"
Now, the first thing I need to do is go to two places!
One, the Tiandou Empire!
Two, the border of the Xingluo Empire!
This is where he speculated that the Abyssal Emperor would be very likely to hide based on the abyss!
After pondering for a while, he decided, "Let's head to the Tiandou Empire first..."
Because the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire should have been replaced by his lover, Qian Renxue, at this time!
Of course, the current her, might not be much different in age from him!
...
Spirit Pagoda!
At this moment, Gu Yuena was pondering a very important question...
However, it seemed that she hadn't come up with an answer!
She glanced sideways at the ferocious beasts beside her and asked, "Di Tian, what do you think, if someone went back to the past, would the changes they caused influence the future?"
Di Tian immediately understood who she was referring to, "Master, you must be talking about Xu Sheng, right?"
After all, he was just recently enveloped by the Abyssal Emperor and taken to the past!
Gu Yuena did not deny it and said indifferently, "Hmm, tell me your thoughts?"
Without any hesitation, Di Tian replied, "Master, I think it's unlikely to influence the future, otherwise, the Abyssal Emperor could simply return to the past alone and then rule over the human world of that time!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji concurred, "My opinion is consistent with Di Tian's!"
As for the other ferocious beasts, they only nodded in agreement...
Their brains were not as sharp as Di Tian's and Bi Ji's, so how could they know if it would affect the future!
It was simpler to just keep their mouths shut!
Gu Yuena sighed, "Hmm, I think so too!"
But Di Tian continued to inquire, "Master, you wouldn't be looking to understand the method the Abyssal Emperor used to travel back in time, then go back to the past and bring those soul beasts to the future?"
That was the only possibility he could think of!
She looked at him with a bit of surprise, "Perhaps."
Unexpectedly, due to having followed her for a while, Di Tian had managed to guess her thoughts just from a few brief sentences!
After a slight pause, she changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that Tang Sect is dedicated to building Shrek Academy?"
Bi Ji took over the conversation, "That's right, Master, it must have been completed by now, and it is said to have consumed quite a lot of resources!"
Gu Yuena thoughtfully said, "I see, then it's time for a trip to Tang Sect!"
The other was somewhat puzzled, "Master, for what purpose are you visiting Tang Sect?"
Gu Yuena explained, "Nothing much, just to renounce my status as a Tang Sect disciple!"
As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, she no longer needed that identity!
