The man sitting behind the tetable was quite handsome, and he appeared to be in his thirties. His entire body was emanating an ethereal aura, and an excited expression immediately appeared on the young man's face at the sight of him.

He hurriedly stepped forward before taking a seat on the other side of the table. ”Vice-palace Master!”

The middle-aged man pushed a cup of tea toward him. ”Have a taste.”

The young man faltered slightly before quickly calming himself down. He picked up the teacup and blew on it a few times before downing the contents of the entire cup in one mouthful.

A refres.h.i.+ng fragrance flowed into his stomach along with a stream of warmth, and his entire body was struck by an indescribably warm and comfortable feeling while the aroma of tea wafted through the air around him.

”I was very glad to hear that all of you are still alive. At the very least, the future hopes of Shrek Academy have been preserved, and its heritage hasn't been completely severed.”

A hint of sorrow flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes as he spoke.

The young man lowered his head, and tears welled up in his eyes as he asked in a heavy voice, ”What's the current situation like in our Tang Sect, Vice-palace Master?”

The middle-aged man shook his head in response. ”Very bad. After our headquarters was bombed, all of our Radiant Tang Sect branch companies were oppressed on all levels. The military had been in close contact with us in the past, but they've since completely cut off communications with us. We've been dealt heavy blows from many sides, both out in the open and in the shadows. This was clearly all part of a pre-planned operation. The palace master has decided to temporarily close all of our branches. Our Tang Sect has many emergency plans prepared, and we're currently employing one of them. This is also the course of action that we'll only adopt during the direst of situations.”

The young man asked, ”Who else is there aside from the Holy Spirit Cult?”

The middle-aged man replied in an indifferent voice, ”Have you heard of the saying that everyone will strike a man when he's down? This scheme has most likely been devised over a very long time. Both Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have been targeted, and one generation of people definitely isn't enough to pull this off. The Holy Spirit Cult is only the ent.i.ty at the very forefront; as for just how many powers are involved behind the scenes, I can only tell you that there are enemies everywhere you look.

”The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have held such lofty statuses on this continent for far too long. Truth be told, we predicted a long time ago that the federation will inevitably plot against us one day, but we didn't think that this day would come so soon and that they'd employ such extreme tactics. Regardless of whether it's the elders of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion or the current leaders of the Tang Sect, all of us are to blame for this. ”We've been basked in complacency for far too long, and we've clearly sensed that danger could arise, but we've always just thought that no one would dare to do anything to us. As it turned out, we were wrong. Our enemies are far more vicious than we imagined, and they'd even go as far as to kill over 10,000,000 people just to take us down.”

The young man raised his head, and there was faint golden light s.h.i.+mmering in his eyes as he asked, ”What are our Tang Sect's plans from here onward, Vice-palace Master?”

The middle-aged man replied, ”No one can get away with plotting against our Tang Sect without paying a price. The glory of our Tang Sect definitely won't be crushed so easily, and the same goes for Shrek Academy. Zhen Hua has informed me of your objective for coming here. Even those people aren't fully aware of just how much power our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy has acc.u.mulated. You and your friends are the future. The futures of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are in your hands, and both organizations must be rebuilt. The Tang Sect Ice Fire Seal I gave you last time has already expired, but the secret realm of the Tang Sect, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well will still be open to all of you.

”Our Tang Sect will support you and your friends with all of our power from the shadows. Those people have taken centuries, perhaps even thousands of years to plot against us, and we're willing to do the same. Even if it takes the concerted effort of an entire generation, or even several generations, we'll take back what rightfully belongs to us. Perhaps its exactly because our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have been overly dogmatic in following the rules that those people no longer feared us. All of those lives that were lost during the attack can't be for nothing.”

The air temperature in the entire tea room plummeted as the middle-aged man spoke, and a sharp aura appeared before vanis.h.i.+ng in an instant.

The young man nodded firmly, and said, ”We won't let you down. When can we set off for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Vice-palace Master?”

”Right away,” the middle-aged man rose to his feet, and said, ”I'll go and bring our friends here right now, and all of you can immediately set off after that.”

”Yes.”

The young man was none other than Tang Wulin in disguise, and the young woman accompanying him was naturally Gu Yue, who was still suffering from amnesia.

She had no idea what was going on, and she stood beside Tang Wulin with her eyes wide open, feeling as if she were listening to an alien language.

The middle-aged man was none other than Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, whom Tang Wulin had met once before, and he was the current vice-palace master of the Douluo Palace, as well as the second most powerful being in the entire Tang Sect.

Two ordinary-looking soul cars drove onto the street before stopping in front of the tea house.
