Dilemma

As Tang Wulin pondered how to deal with the situation, Dai Yun'er browsed the news on her phone and frowned. "Shrek Academy has publicly accused the Tang Sect of treason and declared that they want to sever all ties with us. Which side should we support?"

Dai Yun'er clearly didn't understand the relationship between the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy in the Federation, so she asked such a question. After all, she had been in the Federation for a long time, but she had spent most of her time training and studying. It was normal for her to have such doubts.

Ye Xinglan, who was closest to Dai Yun'er, explained. "This is just a superficial statement. It's different from the cooperative relationship between the Tang Sect and Monster Academy in the Star Luo Empire. Although the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy in the Federation seem to have a similar relationship to the Star Luo Empire, they are actually one and the same."

"If you look into it carefully, you'll find that most of the teachers and senior staff in Shrek Academy are members of the Tang Sect. The main reason why Shrek Academy does this is to protect its 20,000-year reputation. You have to know that both the academy and the sect need a lot of fresh blood for their development."

Hearing Ye Xinglan's words, Dai Yun'er felt relieved. She was really worried that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were truly at odds with each other.

At that moment, Tang Wulin, who had been thinking for a long time, said. "I'm also a bit undecided, so I might as well ask Vast Sea Douluo for his opinion."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin dialed Chen Xinjie's number, but no one answered the call until it hung up automatically. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in a while. After a brief silence, Tang Wulin tried to call Chen Xinjie again, but still no one picked up.

Tang Wulin realized that something must have happened to Chen Xinjie. He was either busy with something or in trouble. Normally, Tang Wulin wouldn't think too much about it.

He knew that Chen Xinjie was an Limit Douluo, and one of the top ones at that. But this was not a normal situation. The person sent by Miracle City was Di Tian, a god-level being.

After a moment of deliberation, Tang Wulin made up his mind and said. "Something may have happened to Vast Sea Douluo. I think we should leave this place as soon as possible before Miracle City takes action against us."

Hearing Tang Wulin say that something might have happened to Chen Xinjie, the others were shocked. Then, Dai Yun'er asked. "What did Lord Poseidon say?"

When Dai Yun'er mentioned Poseidon, the others also looked at Tang Wulin with hope. They knew that Poseidon Tang San's consciousness was in Tang Wulin, which was not a secret to them.

Tang Wulin gave a bitter smile and said. "Dad's consciousness stayed at Shrek Academy for training this time and didn't come with me."

What Tang Wulin didn't say was that even if Tang San's divine consciousness was with him, he probably wouldn't get any answers. He knew that the reason why Tang San's consciousness didn't follow him was because of what happened last time.

That was his last connection to the divine realm. He didn't want to vanish mysteriously like the divine consciousness in Ice and Fire eyes. Anping and Gu Yuena didn't attack him the first time, but he couldn't be sure that they wouldn't do it again.

When the others heard that Tang San's divine consciousness had not followed them, they realized one thing: Shrek Academy's public accusation of the Tang Sect's treason and their declaration of cutting ties with them must have been instructed by Tang San's divine consciousness.

Without Tang San's guidance, they had no choice but to follow Tang Wulin's plan and quietly leave the City of Miracles before it attacked them.

But as soon as they packed up and walked out of the house, they saw Le Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Sun Qingyi, and Lan Fuzi waiting for them at the door.

They knew they were no match for the four powerful soul masters. Tang Wulin stepped forward, smiled at Xu Xiaoyan, and said, "What's going on? We didn't break any rules, did we?"

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head slightly, amused by Tang Wulin's act. "Of course not. You're not in trouble with us, but with the Federation. Come with us, they're waiting for you outside."

Tang Wulin and the others didn't resist and followed them out of the Academy. But they couldn't help wondering why the Federation was after them, and whether they were really working for the City of Miracles.

On the way, Tang Wulin asked, "How is Vast Sea Douluo doing? He's our teacher, after all."

That was his biggest concern. Chen Xinjie had been their mentor and protector.

Xu Xiaoyan, Sun Qingyi, and Lan Fuzi all shook their heads. They had no idea what had happened to Chen Xinjie. Xu Xiaoyan and Sun Qingyi were busy with their jobs in the education department and the Academy, respectively. Lan Fuzi was just here by chance. She had heard that Xu Xiaoyan and Sun Qingyi were dating and wanted to confirm it, but she stumbled upon this situation instead.

Only Le Zhengyu said, "I heard that Chen Xinjie was seriously injured when he resisted arrest. I don't know the details, but you'll see him soon enough."

Tang Wulin and the others felt a surge of anger and helplessness when they heard that Chen Xinjie was hurt. The last person who had suffered from Di Tian's attack was Mu ye, and they feared that Chen Xinjie might end up like him.

They were quickly brought to the gate of the Miracle City Soul Master Academy. To their surprise, the leader of the Federation team was someone they knew. It was Pan Wen, the Federation Secretary-General who had taken them to the Star Luo Empire.

They felt a chill when they saw Le Zhengyu and Pan Wen exchange friendly words. They had never expected that the Federation was infiltrated by the City of Miracles. But then again, considering the various products that Miracle City produced, it made sense.

After the handover was done, Tang Wulin and the others were fitted with soul guides that suppressed their soul power. They didn't try to fight back, knowing that it was futile.

But they were not worried about their safety. They knew that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were the strongest forces in the Federation. Even though the Tang Sect was branded as traitors, they were still Shrek Academy students.

And with Tang Wulin's identity as Poseidon's son, Shrek Academy would never abandon them. They believed that this arrest was only temporary.
