After arriving at Heaven Dou City, the main mission of the Blood Dragon Squad was to collect all types of information and familiarize themselves with everything in Heaven Dou City.
They had lived their entire lives in the Blood G.o.d Legion, so they weren't familiar with the outside world at all. Heaven Dou City and Bright City, the latter of which they had just visited, were both large cities with vastly contrasting styles, so familiarizing themselves with those two cities would make it a lot easier for them to integrate themselves into society.
Before Tang Wulin had even met A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi, he b.u.mped into his vice-captain first.
”I barely even see you nowadays; what have you been up to?” Long Yuxue asked in a befuddled manner.
Ever since Tang Wulin had entered the Sea G.o.d's Lake with that woman with the black cat martial soul true body, he had become very mysterious, and even his emotional fluctuations had become very violent. Long Yuxue very rarely even saw him anymore, and now that they had b.u.mped into one another, she was naturally going to inquire about the reasons behind this.
Tang Wulin replied, ”I've been juggling quite a few things recently. I've formulated a plan for how to proceed, and I was going to find you to discuss these plans anyway. I've already contacted the Tang Sect, and I might be traveling to the Star Luo Continent and Dou Spirit Continent with people from the Tang Sect in three months. I'll be going there to a.s.sess the situation and also keep tabs on the imminent war.”
”You're going to the Star Luo Empire? Why?” Long Yuxue was stunned. ”The war is going to start in a year at most; if you get caught traveling on the other two continents at that time, you're very likely going to be branded as a traitor to the federation! Besides, it's not safe, either. You've seen how powerful the federation's soul weapons are; what if you get caught up in the war there?”
Tang Wulin replied, ”I'm going there for the specific purpose of preventing this war from happening! If a war were to erupt, how many people would die? Regardless of which continent they live on, they're all humans.”
Long Yuxue shook her head in a stern manner. ”I won't agree to this. It's too dangerous. What are you going to do when you get there anyway? Do you think you can sway the situation on your own? Even the Tang Sect won't be able to accomplish this.”
Tang Wulin fell silent for a moment before deciding against telling her the entire truth. ”I recently received news that my missing parents could be on the Dou Spirit Continent, so I have to go.”
Long Yuxue shuddered slightly upon hearing this, and she looked into Tang Wulin's determined eyes as she took a deep breath, then insisted, ”If you have to go, then take me with you!”
Tang Wulin asked, ”You're a federal soldier; aren't you afraid that you'll encounter the problems you just outlined to me?”
”I'm not afraid of anything! I'll go wherever you go. Our Blood Dragon Squad was a.s.sembled to protect you in the first place, and don't forget that you're carrying the burden of opposing the entire abyssal plane. If something were to happen to you, what will we do when the next abyssal tide strikes?” The reasons Long Yuxue provided were very valid, and Tang Wulin was having a hard time trying to rebut them.
”Alright, but there's still some time left, so it's too early to be discussing such things. I'll only be leaving in three months anyway.”
Long Yuxue insisted, ”In any case, if you're going, then you have to take the Blood Dragon Squad with you. You'll always have a need for some extra hands.”
Tang Wulin nodded in response. Long Yuxue was right. The situation on the other two continents was completely unknown to him, and even though he had the Tang Sect to back him up, which should theoretically result in a smooth trip, he did need some people who could perform various duties for him. In particular, the more people he had to help rescue his parents, the better.
”Alright, I'll notify you if there are any changes to the plan.”
……
”What? You failed?” There was a middle-aged man with a head of black hair appraising Bear Lord with a dark expression on his face. This middle-aged man had a golden streak down the middle of his black hair, and he had his hands clasped behind his back as he paced back and forth in an agitated manner.
”AND you revealed your ident.i.ty to them? Are you an idiot?” a young man standing off to the side sneered.
”Shut up!” Bear Lord glowered at the young man before explaining, ”I didn't know I was going to fail. I had thought that I was going to be killing those people anyway, so what did it matter if I told them my name? How could I have known that human technology has already developed to this extent? I don't know what that weapon is, but it's able to pierce through my outward defenses and detonate within my body. I was caught off guard and wounded by those weapons. Otherwise, I would've been able to kill them for sure.”
”That's enough!” the middle-aged man snapped in a cold manner, ”Who would've thought that Tang Wulin would develop this quickly? As expected of a man with the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King. We can't wait any longer; we have to get rid of him right away. Our Lord still refuses to kill him on her own, so we'll have to do so in her stead. On top of that, we have to kill him before she finds out what we're doing. Only after he dies can our Lord focus her entire attention on controlling and enslaving the entire human race to provide us with enough resources.
