Chapter 1252 (2/2)

This was a clear indication that the Dou Spirit Empire was still very much fond of the traditions of the Douluo Continent, and many of the buildings here were of the same style as buildings on the Douluo Continent in ancient times.

Spirit Wave City was a small city without any particularly tall buildings, and most of the structures were less than six stories tall. The streets were very clean and spa.r.s.ely frequented, striking Tang Wulin with the feeling that he had returned to the distant past on the Douluo Continent.

What a beautiful little city! How could he allow a city like this to be ravaged by war?

Father, Mother, are you here?

Tang Wulin turned to Li Yun, whom he had barely spoken to at all during this trip, and asked, ”Hall Master Li, would you be able to organize lodging for us near the Spirit PaG.o.da? I have some matters that I need to take care of.”

”You want to stay near the Spirit PaG.o.da?” Li Yun's brows furrowed upon hearing this.

He was already very displeased with Tang Wulin's decision to visit Spirit Wave City first. After all, he had already arranged a meeting with the royal family of the Dou Spirit Empire, and now that Tang Wulin was asking to stay near the Spirit PaG.o.da, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

”Sect Master, I'm sure you're aware of our delicate relations.h.i.+p with the Spirit PaG.o.da. Is this really appropriate?” His expression had darkened significantly as he spoke.

Tang Wulin replied, ”We'll be sure to disguise ourselves properly. I'll leave it to you, Hall Master Li.”

Li Yun was silent for a moment before nodding in response. As the supervisor for the Dou Spirit Empire branches of the Tang Sect, he had the courtesy and self-restraint to not argue any further with Tang Wulin.

However, Li Yun's self-restraint wasn't shared by all of his subordinates, and one of the men accompanying him immediately flared up with rage. ”Sect Master, are you aware that the Spirit PaG.o.da is most likely partially responsible for the Shrek City bombing? The Spirit PaG.o.da is our enemy!”

Tang Wulin turned to the man, and replied, ”Of course I'm aware of that.”

The middle-aged man continued, ”And yet you still insist on staying near the Spirit PaG.o.da? The Spirit PaG.o.da is very powerful, and Spirit Wave City is the center of their sphere of influence on this continent. Are you aware of how heavily our plan would be impacted if your covers are blown by them? Shrek Academy was destroyed, as was our Tang Sect headquarters on the Douluo Continent, yet you're still approaching the Spirit PaG.o.da despite this; are you going to cooperate with them? Even if we set aside the mission, we won't even be able to face all of those who perished alongside Shrek Academy!”

”Oh? Are you from Shrek Academy?” Tang Wulin asked.

”That's right. I graduated from the inner court of the Shrek Academy before joining the Tang Sect here on the Dou Spirit Continent,” the middle-aged man replied in a proud manner, displaying a lot of pride for his connection to Shrek Academy.

”In that case, do you know who you're speaking to?” Xie Xie suddenly asked.

The middle-aged man turned toward him. ”What do you mean, kid?”

Xie Xie sighed, ”It's a shame to see that the alumni of the academy no longer follow the academy's rules.”

”What did you say?” the middle-aged man immediately exclaimed, ”How dare you slander me?”

Xie Xie rose to his feet before leaning against Tang Wulin's seat as he appraised the man with an indifferent expression. ”How is this slander? I also come from Shrek Academy, but unlike you, I'm a member of the current Shrek's Seven Monsters, and I'm also an elder of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion. Are you not disrespecting your superiors here?”

The middle-aged man was a Soul Douluo, and he stared at Xie Xie in an incredulous manner. ”You're an elder of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion? The academy really has fallen...” He didn't make this abundantly clear, but it was quite obvious what he was implying.

Xie Xie immediately flared up with rage. ”What are you trying to say? These people no longer have any respect for the academy, Boss! How can we gather all of the academy alumni under our banner when even someone like him is disrespecting you? It's truly going to be an arduous task to revive the academy!”
