Chapter 1752: Spirit Pagoda’s Response

She could still remember the year that they got acquainted with one another. They were amateurs who had just entered the soul master’s world. At the time, he pledged to become the most powerful person in the world. She was the witness to his undertaking.

She liked him because of his heroic mannerisms. They spent time with each other until they finally began dating. It had been almost a century and she was now visualizing the past times they had together.

It was hard to describe the feeling. It felt as if they were young again at the moment.

“Yeyue, I shall leave first. We shall meet in the north. You won’t risk yourself on your own before we meet. Promise me,” said Xinjie in all apparent seriousness.

Long Yeyue nodded gently. “Alright, let’s meet at the frontline.”

Chen Xinjie inhaled a deep breath. He opened up his arms and hugged her tightly. Then, he leaped up and flew toward the sky.

Long Yeyue took a step forward subconsciously. She said aloud, “Chen Xinjie, if we don’t die this time and you’re still willing to come back and be my Old Chen the sweeper, I will forgive you then.”

The Boundless Sea Douluo’s body stiffened for a moment in the sky. He did not reply but gave a perceptible nod, before he sped up and flew into the distance.

As she watched his departing silhouette, tears streamed down the Light Dark Douluo’s face. However, she was also smiling determinedly at last.

Perhaps, it was going to be their last battle!

In the Spirit Pagoda!

“Lunatics, these lunatics. They’ve truly gone mad. They’ve actually colluded with the abyssal plane. Besides, they’ve colluded in such an extreme manner. They are still a part of mankind after all!” said Qiangu Dongfeng in exasperation.

There were only the three of them in the room.

Qiangu Dieting had a cold expression. He did not show the slightest sign that he had just returned from the brink of death.

Qiangu Qingfeng sneered. “I told you before that working with them is a doomed deal.”

Qiangu Dongfeng suddenly turned around and looked toward Qiangu Qingfeng. “I don’t regret my decision in the matter. If I’m given a choice again, I’ll still drop the two Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunitions on Shrek Academy. When will we ever see daylight if Shrek isn’t blasted to smithereens? Reality has proven that I was right. My only mistake was that I didn’t do a full clean up afterward.”

A cold radiance flashed past Qiangu Qingfeng’s eyes for a moment, but he did not make a remark.

Qiangu Dieting said coldly, “Those scoundrels from the Holy Spirit Cult are no longer human anymore. They only want death and the destructive energy. On the other hand, the abyssal plane wants lifeforce. Every living creature will unleash destructive and death energy upon dying. Consequently, there is no conflict of interest between these two parties. Their action appears crazy. In reality, both sides have their own plans.”

“The abyssal plane wants to devour our entire Douluo plane and use it as a stepping stone to the Divine Realm. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit Cult wants the death and destructive aura emitted, when all the living creatures on our entire Douluo plane die, to help them to achieve the Divine rank. We should have thought of this earlier. Choosing to work with the abyssal creatures is their best choice. Only that, we didn’t think the abyssal plane actually has the ability to open up a tunnel.”

Qiangu Dongfeng stood over there looking dispirited. “What should we do then?”

Cold radiance flashed once in Qiangu Dieting’s eyes. “What do you think? You’re talking nonsense. Apart from cooperating with the others to fight it, what else can we do? Can the Spirit Pagoda exist when the entire plane ceases to exist? With the skin gone, can hair still grow?”

Qiangu Dongfeng said hesitantly, “So, are we really going to work with Shrek Academy then?”

Qiangu Dieting spoke in rage, “Is your brain retarded as well? I allowed you to inherit my position in the past because you have good critical thinking skills. Why do you panic when you’re in a confused situation? So what if you lose an arm? There are still ways with which we can heal. The most important task now is to cross the difficult juncture before us. We’re not only going to fight against the abyss, but, at the same time, we’re going to seize this opportunity to find a way to weaken Shrek and the Tang Sect in the battle. This battle may not necessarily be a bad thing for us.”

Qiangu Dongfeng was stunned for a moment but he soon figured out his father’s intention. He took a deep breath strenuously. “I understand now. I’m going to make the arrangements immediately.”

Qiangu Dongfeng left, leaving only the father Qiangu Dieting and son Qiangu Qingfeng.

“I’m leaving too.” Qiangu Qingfeng stood up and was about to leave too.

Qiangu Dieting took a long glance at him and said, “You should leave, and don’t come back anymore. Take your wife with you.”

Qiangu Qingfeng’s body stiffened for a moment and turned around immediately. “What do you mean?”

Qiangu Dieting said calmly, “I know that you’ve always hated me. However, I’ve made the most appropriate choice. Dongfeng’s failure is not because of his abilities, but because he has encountered a person who is chosen by destiny. I’ll still choose him even if I were to choose over again. If you were in his place, you’re certainly not going to measure up to everything that he has done. He’s firm, determined and merciless. Moreover, he has a certain intelligence to him. You don’t lack intelligence, but you lack determination. Let go when you have to. This is my final advice to you.”

“The Qiangu Clan can’t just end here. None of us know what the future’s like. However, it is crucial for us to protect the continent at all costs. Find a place and take the people of your lineage to live in seclusion. If we manage to defeat the abyssal plane in this war, Shrek and the Tang Sect will never leave us be. Whether we take them down with us or they win, they won’t allow our Qiangu Clan to survive. You can come back if we manage to win by luck, but if we lose, you don’t need to return anymore. Continue the clan’s lineage. Since Dongfeng has shouldered the heavy burden of the clan, you shall hold the responsibility of continuing the clan’s lineage.”

Qiangu Qingfeng was stunned. “So you want me to be a coward then?”

Qiangu Dieting said, “This is not an act of cowardice. There are many instances where surviving is more difficult than death.”

Qiangu Qingfeng frowned and said in a deep voice, “I won’t leave.” He then walked out the room and slammed shut the door.

Qiangu Dieting suddenly appeared much older the moment Qiangu Qingfeng left. He closed his eyes slowly.

The people in the entire Douluo Continent mobilized rapidly within a short period of time. Apparently, the continent appeared normal on the surface.

The Federation was decisive in their actions. They kept a tight lid on the information. The media was kept in the dark regarding the situation in the north.

The Northern Army Corps was the closest to Thule, so they began setting up the defense line at once. The Northsea Army Corps set out at once and quickly channelled all the strategic materials to the north.

There had been records of the abyssal creatures since six thousand years ago. The people were aware of these terrifying creatures. However, the Douluo Continent now was no longer the continent it was six thousand years ago. There were now more weapons which could kill those abyssal creatures following the advancement of soul technology.

Of course, the enemies were not only from the abyss but the Holy Spirit Cult too!

Hence, the Federation issued orders immediately to mobilize the few great organizations including Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda.

As for the Blood God Army, they could not be mobilized because they still needed to guard their region. Otherwise, if the abyssal creatures were to charge out from the original abyssal passage, they would be trapped on both sides.

In Shrek Academy.

The Sea God’s Pavilion meeting was called to order.

Tang Wulin’s eyes were still red. It was not the red from his ferocity, but from his recalcitrance and agitated emotions.

He managed to calm himself with great effort. He was not allowed to seek revenge despite his enemies standing before him. One could only imagine how agonizing it was to him.

Yet, he had no choice but to face the current situation. Revenge was not the most crucial task for Shrek and the Tang Sect now, but how they could work together with the military divisions to protect the continent.
