Chapter 896: Hes Still Alive! (1/2)

From the current situation, it could be confirmed that Shrek City had been severely damaged, and both Shrek Academy, as well as the Tang Sect headquarters, had been completely destroyed, culminating in an immeasurable amount of destruction.

There didn't appear to be any news reports about his friends at this point.

Was the Holy Spirit Cult really capable of unleashing such a fearsome terrorist attack on their own? Was the military being paid to do nothing? How had those 12th-grade soul missiles been stolen so easily? There was most definitely more than just an Evil Soul Master organization involved behind all of this.

The existence of Shrek City had always been an anomaly in the federation. It was just that even the federation didn't dare to do anything to Shrek City as it held such a lofty status on the continent.

From this terrorist attack, it was quite apparent that the federation already had the power to wipe out Shrek City with these super weapons, but there was no way that they could do that. Could it be that the federation had used the Holy Spirit Cult to get rid of Shrek City for them? Alternatively, perhaps some high-ranking officials of the federation had worked together with Evil Soul Masters to destroy Shrek City.

The Holy Spirit Cult didn't care about its reputation being further tarnished as they had no reputation to begin with, yet what they had done would undoubtedly be benefitting many powerful figures. Without the influence of Shrek Academy on this continent, it would be much easier for some ambitious figures to accomplish what they wanted to do.

However, Tang Wulin wasn't aware of any of the specific details. After all, he hadn't studied politics in great detail.

The Tang Sect headquarters had also been destroyed during this attack, and it was very clear that they'd been targeted as some of the people in power were quite wary of them, just as they were wary of Shrek Academy. This incident was most definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

What about the Spirit Pagoda?

The Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and the Spirit Pagoda were the three most powerful super organizations on this continent. Why was it that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had been dealt fatal blows, yet the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters had remained completely unscathed, even though it was situated so close to the Shrek City?

From the perspective of the Evil Soul Masters, the Spirit Pagoda clearly posed a more prominent threat than the Tang Sect. At the very least, the Spirit Pagoda was a more powerful organization on paper, and it most definitely had more powerful Soul Masters than the Tang Sect did. However, the second Godslayer missile had struck the Tang Sect headquarters instead of the Spirit Pagoda; was there really no foul play involved?

Tang Wulin wasn't suspecting that the Spirit Pagoda had allied themselves with the Holy Spirit Cult, but at the very least, he couldn't eliminate that possibility.

As such, the current Spirit Pagoda couldn't be trusted, which was why he hadn't revealed his own identity back in the Star Dou Forest. At this point in time, no one was aware of the fact that Shrek’s Seven Monsters were still alive. In this situation, it was definitely much better for him to stay in the shadows than be out in the open.

The Holy Spirit Cult was more powerful than he'd imagined, and on the giant skull that had appeared on that day, there was at least one Evil Soul Master who was not inferior in power to Atlas Douluo Yun Ming by much.

Furthermore, in the aftermath of such a catastrophic terrorist attack, all of the traces and evidence had been destroyed during the explosion, thereby making it very difficult for them to investigate anything. Even if they were to find any leads, they were currently too weak to do anything about this situation.

After thinking through all of these things, Tang Wulin concluded that there was only one thing that they should be doing: biding their time!

He didn't just need to grow more powerful on his own. Instead, he had to build up enough forces to be able to oppose the Evil Soul Masters.

He slowly opened his eyes before making his way over to the window. Even though he'd gotten two rooms, both he and Gu Yue were staying in the same room at the moment.

Gu Yue was curled up in a ball, sound asleep on the bed. There was a blanket dr.a.p.ed over her body, and her long hair spilled down her pillow. Her long eyelashes rested on her cheeks, and she was as beautiful as an oversized doll.

Tang Wulin was immediately instilled with a sense of calmness at the sight of her. He cast his gaze out through the window again before taking out his soul communicator and turning it on, then slowly dialing a number.

He was feeling quite nervous, and his heart was pounding in his chest. Whether this call was answered or not would determine whether he was alone in this world.

”Wulin?' An urgent voice sounded from the other end of the line, and he couldn't help but shudder slightly upon hearing this voice.

He took a deep breath, but his voice still trembled slightly as he said, ”Xinglan, I'm fine.”

The other end of the line suddenly fell silent, and just as Tang Wulin was beginning to grow anxious and perplexed, deafening cheers of elation suddenly rang out.

Tears immediately began to stream down Tang Wulin's face as he heard the voices of all of his friends. He could hear the voices of Ye Xinglan, Xie Xie, Yuanen, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi... Everyone was there. Their voices were cracking slightly from overexcitement, but Tang Wulin could still clearly discern all of their individual voices.
