Chapter 856: Instruction From the Pavilion Master (1/2)
However, none of this could change the fact that he was still an exceptional agent. The campaign against evil Soul Masters was bound to be a long and arduous one, and witnessing Tang Wulin's performance had dealt him a heavy blow, but as long as he was still alive he would continue to improve himself as an agent.
Yellow One, Yellow Two, and Yellow Four also made their way over to Tang Wulin before expressing their gratitude.
No one knew what the situation in the industrial area was like, so they couldn't bring themselves to rest. As such, they merely stood together in silence. The two black agents only returned when daybreak had almost arrived.
They informed everyone that all of the evil Soul Masters in the industrial area had left, and that Tang Wulin was correct in his judgment that the evil Soul Masters had used the vengeful spirits in the factories. At the same time, they discovered a sacrificial altar buried deep under the ground beneath the factories. From the condition of the sacrificial altar, they deduced that not only had all of the vengeful spirits in the factories been refined, many of the souls of the people who had perished in the recent terrorist attack had also been funneled over to this place to be refined by the altar.
This piece of information left a bad taste in everyone's mouths, but at the same time, the two black agents announced that they'd completed their mission.
Seeing as Tang Wulin had displayed an outstanding performance during the mission, he was going to receive half of the reward while the remaining four members of the team shared the other half.
Purple One and the others were all more than willing to accept this arrangement.
This mission was worth double points in the first place, and Tang Wulin had taken half of the entire reward, so this was a very bountiful haul for him. However, this mission had also left him feeling that there was a lot more that still had to be done as he felt the insolence of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Even with the federation's immense power, they were still unable to weed out the Holy Spirit Cult, and these terrorist attacks were only taking place with increased regularity. They hadn't even found the masterminds behind this terrorist attack, and they'd finally found some leads, only for the evil Soul Masters to make an easy retreat. There had to be someone helping them on the inside, and their backers had to be extremely fearsome.
Purple One drove the Tang Sect battle vehicle back to Shrek City, and everyone received their rewards, following which their temporary team disbanded.
Tang Wulin didn't accept any other missions. Instead, he returned to the academy so he could recover all of his belongings first. After that, he was going to head to Heaven Dou City to visit his uncle-teacher.
Following the completion of his mission, he'd been informed that the blacksmith association of Heaven Dou City hadn't been affected by the terrorist attack. That was one of the only silver linings on this dark cloud.
Everything was still the same in Shrek Academy. Tang Wulin returned to the inner court and the first place he went to was the Sea God's Island to report his return.
Before he had even made it onto the Sea God's Island, he was surprised to find that there was someone standing on the shore.
This man wore a set of white robes and had his hands clasped behind his back. He wore a slightly cold expression on his handsome face, and he wasn't surprised in the slightest by the sight of Tang Wulin's arrival. He waved his hand toward Tang Wulin, and the latter skipped over the water before landing on the shore and extending a respectful salute. ”Elder Yun.”
That's right, the man standing on the shore was none other than the current master of the Sea God's Pavilion, Atlas Douluo Yun Ming.
Yun Ming nodded slightly in a show of acknowledgment, and said, ”Come with me.”
He then turned and strode deeper into the Sea God's Island, and Tang Wulin hurriedly followed along.
Yun Ming didn't seem to be walking very quickly, but Tang Wulin had to run as fast as he could just to keep up.
The Sea God's Island wasn't very large, and it only took a short while before the two of them arrived at the Sea God's Pavilion.
After entering the Sea God's Pavilion, Yun Ming didn't stop in the hall. Instead, he made his way up the stairs. Tang Wulin trailed along behind him and appraised their surroundings with a curious look in his eyes.
He wasn't very familiar with the Sea God's Pavilion at all, so he was very curious about this place. This was a wooden cabin constructed on the Golden Tree, and it wasn't very large, but it was one of the most powerful and influential places on the entire Douluo Continent!
Yun Ming led Tang Wulin all the way to the third level of the Sea God's Pavilion before making his way into an empty room.
There were no ornaments or furniture in the room aside from a pair of futons on the ground.
Yun Ming sat down on one of the futons before pointing at the futon across from him. ”Take a seat.”
Tang Wulin sat down as he was told, and he was quite surprised, as well as curious. Could it be that Yun Ming had been waiting for him?
