"Qiangu Dongfeng, what have you done to Sister Yue these past three years?"
Entering the Spirit Pagoda, Yun Ming's Face was ashen, showing a hint of worry.
"Nothing but sealing her spirit power and keeping her confined to prevent trouble. What else could we do?"
Qiangu Dongfeng retorted, "I should remind His Majesty Qingtian to go back and keep a close watch on his subordinates, lest they cause more trouble."
"No need to trouble yourself," Yun Ming said indifferently, though the corner of his eye twitched almost imperceptibly.
The two arrived at the Spirit Pagoda's private floor. Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand to open the door. "Please."
Yun Ming nodded and walked in, finding Cai Yue'er sitting on a futon Cultivating. Aside from a complete lack of spirit power fluctuations, there was nothing unusual about her.
"Pavilion Master, you—you've come to see me?"
Cai Yue'er woke up, a look of overwhelming joy on her Face.
"Sister Yue and I are here to take you back. This was Sister Yue's idea," Yun Ming said.
"Oh, oh—" Cai Yue'er seemed momentarily dazed, then showed an expression of deep longing.
"Can I finally return to the Academy? That's wonderful! I've been thinking about it day and night. Pavilion Master, you don't know what I've been through here."
Qiangu Dongfeng outside the door couldn't listen anymore and spoke coldly, "Cai, don't slander us. We only restricted your movements."
While Qiangu Dongfeng was overjoyed to capture an Outer Academy Dean after Yun Ming's supposed death, he wasn't so deranged as to harm Cai Yue'er's life.
He also didn't involve the Holy Spirit Cult, fearing any potential flaws would be disastrous for him; after all, everything would eventually be destroyed.
Cai Yue'er angrily refuted, pointing at Qiangu Dongfeng's nose and scolding, "Your Spirit Pagoda has been mocking us to the extreme these past few years, using me to repeatedly insult Shrek's image! Utterly shameless!"
Qiangu Dongfeng sneered, "That's the truth! The truth about your Shrek Academy and you, Cai Yue'er, being overbearing! We merely exposed what you've done!"
"Sixty years ago, you caused a bloody storm in the Spirit Master's world. Do I need to remind you what you did back then?"
"You!" Cai Yue'er was furious. Her spirit power, just unsealed by Yun Ming, surged like a tide, and a crescent moon faintly appeared behind her head, emanating a chilling aura that caused the temperature to drop sharply.
Qiangu Dongfeng glanced at her in surprise, then looked at Yun Ming.
"Can you control your subordinates? Or do you want to start a war with my Spirit Pagoda?"
A Super Douluo daring to reveal her Spirit to him? Did she think she was above the law just because Yun Ming backed her? Or did she believe this Pagoda Master couldn't crush her with a single blow?
"You confined Sister Yue for three years; some resentment is normal."
Yun Ming spoke coolly, subtly pressing down on Cai Yue'er, and said:
"I'm taking her. The Spirit Pagoda had best reconsider its position from now on, lest it regret it too late! After all, Spirit Ice Douluo also came from Shrek."
"No need to trouble yourself. Please leave," Qiangu Dongfeng coldly issued the eviction order, his eyes glinting with cold light.
Long Yeyue insulted my father, the Tang Sect blew up my branch, and now you tell me to think clearly about my position and not engage in infighting?
Unless this Pagoda Master's brain is waterlogged, I should blow you all up! You aren't holding onto old sentiments; you're afraid of the Federation's suppression!
Today, you forced your way in and made me lose Face. I've noted this debt; when you fall, I will surely offer incense at your grave.
Yun Ming frowned, said nothing more, and disappeared with Cai Yue'er as if they had never been there.
The two met up with Long Yeyue. Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er cast hateful glances at the Spirit Pagoda Academy next to the Spirit Pagoda, then departed under the cold stares of the Spirit Pagoda's experts.
"Pagoda Master, they are too dismissive of us!" Demoness Douluo Li Mengjie spoke indignantly, voicing everyone's thoughts.
"There will be a day when they pay for it. Shrek still has its foundations."
Qiangu Dongfeng said coldly. Unconsciously, he was somewhat grateful to Yun Ming; otherwise, the Spirit Pagoda's experts wouldn't be so firmly supportive of the Qiangu Family as they were now.
"Continue to plan our Spirit Pagoda Academy. For the first enrollment, we must make it spectacular."
"Hmph hmph, Shrek has gathered Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er, two scourges. How can their endeavor fail? They will help us surpass Shrek."
In the War God Hall's station in Spirit Dou City, a gentle female voice and a warm male voice sounded one after another.
"I'll watch over the Academy matters. You rest well."
"I trust you to handle things, but I only fought a tough battle. Why do I feel like I can't get up?"
"You burned your lifespan; shouldn't you be recuperating? You're the one who loves to show off the most." Yu Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at Feng Zaixing.
"Sacrificing divine skills is the true meaning of the Angel lineage. The atmosphere was right there; it wouldn't have been appropriate for me not to risk my life."
"Hmph—"
Yu Xin snorted softly, her clear and ethereal Face showing a hint of displeasure.
Feng Zaixing quickly tried to mend things, "I was very pleasantly surprised that you came out of seclusion to see me; however, I'm still in a medicinal bath, so it's a bit inconvenient. Sister, aren't you—"
"I need to Cultivate, and it's quiet here."
Yu Xin took out the god sealing list and unfurled it. Milky white light points immediately filled the medicinal pool and the air in the room. Her red lips curved into a beautiful arc:
"This Divine Artifact can nourish the Spirit. It won't bother your eyes, will it, Lu Qi?"
"I couldn't ask for more," Feng Zaixing said sincerely. Yu Xin was always rich and generous, often a little proud, which was a rare and lovely quality.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I don't deserve to be called the seventy-second expert on the continent. The Spirit Pagoda is just creating a gimmick."
"There are countless experts in the world; the strong are certainly not limited to the hundred people on the continental storm ranking list."
"There are many people stronger than you, but truly few with greater contributions."
Yu Xin put down the god sealing list, took out the printed volume of the "continental storm ranking list," turned to Feng Zaixing's page, and read with interest:
"Ranking 72 on the continental storm ranking list, the Eternal genius Feng Zaixing, the youngest Two-Word Battle Armor Master in the continent's history, the youngest person ever to make this list. A legend since childhood. Three years ago, he defeated Shrek Inner Academy's Senior Brother Lan Muzi with combined efforts in Tianhai City. Two years ago, he won the title of the number one Academy in the world. One year ago, he led the charge and participated in the Heaven Dou City defense battle.
Recently, he killed dozens of Evil Soul Masters and captured a Three-Word Battle Armor Master, becoming a god in one battle; considering his potential and combat power, the seventy-second rank is well-deserved—hmm, this humble woman thinks so too."
The Spirit Pagoda's ranking compilers gave Feng Zaixing very high praise, sparing no compliments.
Feng Zaixing listened with a headache, covering his Face, "Grand Master Uncle Han is responsible for the list. Instead of writing himself in, he's putting me on the spot. How about we ask him to include you too?"
"Forget it, I don't have such strong battle achievements. Writing me in would draw too much attention. You, on the other hand, it wouldn't be right not to write you in." Yu Xin smiled radiantly, her dimples shallow, revealing a hint of schadenfreude.
"Alright, alright, stop laughing at me. Tell me about that guy. Did he confess?"
Feng Zaixing asked about Gui Mei Soul Douluo, who was immediately tortured upon capture.
"He confessed, but not much." Yu Xin's expression became solemn:
"He said the Holy Spirit Cult placed a Restriction in his head. If he reveals certain things, he'll explode."
"He confessed to some small Holy Spirit Cult strongholds. The War God Hall has already gone to encircle and suppress them, but the harvest isn't great."
"As expected," Feng Zaixing frowned and nodded, a steady demeanor appearing on his Face. "Anything else?"
"The Green Skull organization on the Star Luo Continent is a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult," Yu Xin said with a heavy expression.
"Whoa!" Zaixing suddenly turned, his eyes fixed. "The strongest anti-government organization on the Star Luo Continent, the Green Skull?"
"Yes."
"That's not surprising then. I was wondering where they got so many resources from. As expected, they opened a branch company."
Feng Zaixing murmured softly. The Holy Spirit Cult's Soul Douluo had Three-Word Battle Armor, and the Underworld Emperor's Twelve Death Knights also had Three-Word Battle Armor, making them incredibly wealthy; however, the Sun Moon Federation's crackdown never stopped, so it was impossible to obtain enough resources from there.
The Star Luo Continent was different, with only two Limit Douluo, one cherishing his life, the other with a collapsed mental state; the Holy Spirit Cult could send out one Limit Douluo and turn everything upside down, supplying the main company with resources.
"Yes, but this intelligence is useless. Our power can't extend there. The Star Luo Continent would never agree to us going over to kill them, C"
Yu Xin sighed. A large military force from one country entering another country could only mean two things: conquest or surrender. The Star Luo Emperor wouldn't agree unless his brain was waterlogged.
"There will be an opportunity in the future. We will eradicate these evil things sooner or later!"
Feng Zaixing's tone gradually turned cold. Then he yawned and closed his eyes to rest.
Yu Xin gazed at Feng Zaixing for a while, a slight curve on her lips, her reluctant gaze falling upon the god sealing list.
Time was peaceful.
What Yu Xin didn't know was that after Feng Zaixing rested, his spiritual consciousness surged into the deepest part of his spiritual sea, bringing the Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger before the heavenly saint splitting abyss halberd and taking an item.
"Swish!"
A deep light flew out from the Halberd, landing before the two. It was a deep black bead, originating from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger of over twenty thousand years ago.
"Roar!"
The Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger eagerly swallowed it in one gulp, showing an extremely satisfied expression. Its body shrunk, turning into a small kitten with a wagging tail, and it tilted its head and fell asleep.
"This King will sleep for a year and a half. Upon awakening, I will give you a great surprise," the kitten transmitted to Feng Zaixing, its tail wagging like a windmill.
Feng Zaixing cupped his hands towards the heavenly saint splitting abyss halberd, about to take the kitten back.
Just then.
Ji Juechen's emotionless voice sounded from behind him.
"The Plane Master asked me to tell you that before you Breakthrough to Rank 60, it's best to go to the sea."
