They got the news that quickly?
Tang Ya's face turned pale.
From Sea God Pavilion's withdrawal to Tang Feng healing Gu Yuena's injuries—
How much time had actually passed?
At most, a single day.
Yet the evil soul masters had already received the information and successfully ambushed them.
If not for Tang Feng suppressing the two Titled Douluo—and Sister Na'er being by their side—
They might not have survived long enough for the Clear Sky Sect to arrive.
Had that happened, both she and Xiao Feng would have fallen into the hands of the evil soul masters.
"Great-aunt, I really don't know!"
"Ever since Yan Shaozhe brought you to Shrek Academy, my brother and I have been lurking nearby."
"The moment we received the Sect Master's order, we immediately found you in the vicinity."
Netherworld Douluo felt utterly set up.
He and Underworld Thunder Douluo were nothing more than supporting actors—
Meant to make either the Clear Sky Sect or the Sea God Pavilion look good.
No matter how one looked at it, they never truly had a chance to capture Tang Ya and report back.
The Sect Master clearly said Sea God Pavilion was too busy to interfere—
So why the hell did the Clear Sky Sect show up instead?
An Ultimate Douluo and a Rank 98 Super Douluo—
How was that any different from Sea God Pavilion deploying in full force?
"Take them back to Star Luo City first. We'll deal with the rest later."
Tang Feng had no intention of lingering.
This place was inconvenient—the Sea God Pavilion could cause trouble at any time.
He suspected Mu En had tacitly allowed Xuan Zi to act because he knew the truth was about to surface.
Once the two Sect Masters of Clear Sky Sect arrived, what happened in Heaven Dou City could no longer be suppressed.
Sooner or later, it would be exposed.
And once Tang Feng learned the evil soul masters had been drawn to the Tang Sect because of Mu En—
He would never heal Mu En's injuries.
"Young Master!"
Three Soul Sages appeared.
They specialized in concealment. One of them had been Tang Feng's "coachman" when he traveled to Shrek Academy.
"Uncle Xu, deliver them to His Majesty."
Tang Feng tossed the two captives over.
Netherworld Douluo and Underworld Thunder Douluo must not die easily.
For that reason, Tang Feng deliberately left a wisp of life essence within their bodies—
Enough to preserve their lives.
Suicide was impossible.
In this lifetime, they could forget about killing themselves.
"Yes, Young Master."
Uncle Xu handed them off to the rear guard.
Since Tang Feng possessed a divine domain, he didn't require protection.
If real danger arose, Tang Feng was better at surviving than any of them.
Their role was mainly logistical support.
"Tang Feng, if you're not returning to Shrek Academy, then neither am I."
"First Father, Second Father—I want to go study in Star Luo City with Tang Feng."
Wang Dong clung to Niu Tian's arm.
He had once thought Mu En was a good person—
Only to discover the old man had secretly done so many things.
Like master, like disciple.
That saying proved painfully accurate.
"We'll do as Xiao Dong wishes."
Niu Tian agreed without hesitation.
According to that person's instructions, Wang Dong must remain by Tang Feng's side.
As for Huo Yuhao, who had joined the Tang Sect—
He could simply follow his destined development.
Huo Yuhao was already part of the Tang Sect.
When he ascended to godhood in the future, he would naturally acknowledge Dai Mubai and the Tang Sect ancestors.
But Tang Feng was different.
He was the successor of the Life Goddess and the God of Destruction faction.
If Tang Feng and Wang Dong were brought together—
Then the Divine Realm would have only one unified voice.
"Big Brother, I'll stay in Star Luo City this time."
"If anyone dares bully our Xiao Dong, I'll twist their head off and use it as a ball."
Titan was extremely uneasy.
Even at Shrek Academy, Wang Dong had been attacked and nearly lost his life.
Elsewhere would likely be even more dangerous.
"Second Father! You can't come with me to school!"
Wang Dong protested immediately.
If his Second Father followed along, what kind of school life would that be?
He was going to Star Luo City because Tang Feng was his life-and-death brother.
"Seniors, please rest assured."
"Even if Xu Jiawei dares bully Wang Dong, I'll smack his head too."
Tang Feng declared arrogantly.
Nearby, Uncle Xu and the other two each looked away in different directions—
As if they hadn't heard anything.
Such remarks were nothing unusual.
In front of Tang Feng, Xu Jiawei truly lacked the bearing of an emperor—
More like an ordinary elder brother.
Compared to Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei felt even more like Tang Feng's sibling—
Without any imperial airs.
"Second Brother, stop causing trouble."
"We'll escort them to Star Luo City."
Niu Tian glared fiercely at Titan.
He was not at ease.
First Sea God Pavilion attacked Tang Feng.
Then, the Holy Spirit Church hunted Tang Ya.
Danger followed Tang Feng like a shadow.
Wang Dong absolutely could not go to Star Luo City alone.
"What about them?"
Titan gestured toward the ninety-eight people trapped under his Gravity Domain.
These were elites among evil soul masters—
Just inferior to the two Titled Douluo.
"I'll transcend them."
Tang Feng activated the Divine Pure Land.
With Absolute First Strike, he moved through the ninety-eight individuals in rapid succession—
Purifying them one by one.
"No wonder you could suppress two Titled Douluo."
"So you possess a technique specialized in countering evil soul masters."
Niu Tian finally understood.
Within Tang Feng's domain—
Even Soul Douluo couldn't last a second.
All ninety-eight evil soul masters turned into black smoke—
And dispersed into the air.
"My soul skill specializes in suppressing evil soul masters."
"For them to meet their ancestor today—guess they forgot to check the almanac before heading out."
Tang Feng sneered.
Now that Netherworld Douluo and Underworld Thunder Douluo had fallen into his hands—
They would confess even the color of underwear they preferred.
Otherwise—
Death would remain a supreme luxury for them.
With matters resolved, the group boarded a carriage back to Star Luo City.
Meanwhile—
At Shrek Academy, inside the Sea God Pavilion.
Pfft—
Mu En spat out a mouthful of blood.
His injuries were far more severe than imagined.
Even with Zhuang Yusen constantly treating him—
He had at most one year left.
"Elder Mu!"
Xian Lin'er and the others were deeply worried.
Mu En was Shrek Academy's stabilizing pillar—
Far more important than any of them.
And the Sea God Pavilion had just suffered an unprecedented blow.
"How are Xuan Zi and Shaozhe?"
Mu En's greatest fear had come true.
Although Tang Feng had taken Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe's soul bones without killing them—
And hadn't strictly followed the rule of losing ten levels per removed soul bone—
The aftereffects were still devastating.
"Elder Xuan and Shaozhe replaced their soul bones in time, but their strength has still plummeted."
"Elder Xuan, aged over a hundred years, instantly. His soul power dropped to Rank 92, and his physical functions declined severely."
"Shaozhe's soul power fell to Rank 91. His condition is slightly better than Elder Xuan's."
Xian Lin'er drew a deep breath.
No one had expected—
Hunting the culprit who injured Ma Xiaotao would result in such catastrophic losses.
Now Mu En and Xuan Zi were both in dire condition.
The Sea God Pavilion itself had become unstable.
If Mu En passed away—
Their strongest remaining expert would only be Rank 97.
How could that withstand the pressure of all major factions?
"Sigh… this is all my fault for being blinded."
"Announce immediately: after my death, Le Xuan will succeed as Pavilion Master of Sea God Pavilion."
"You must all assist her. Listen carefully to Le Xuan's counsel—do not commit foolish acts again."
Mu En seemed utterly drained of vitality.
Life was like a chessboard—
One wrong move, and the entire game was lost.
