After Xu Sheng left, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong also arrived outside the room...
"Qinghe, have you woken up?"
After using the soul bone ability again, Xue Qinghe calmly said, "Teacher, Uncle Bone, please come in!"
Only then did they push the door open and enter...
Upon entering, Ning Fengzhi exclaimed with surprise, "Such a familiar Soul Power aura, it should be Xu Sheng, right? Qinghe, did he just come to see you?"
Xue Qinghe nodded to affirm, "Yes, I haven't seen Xu Sheng for some time, so he came to catch up."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, not thinking much of it, "I see."
However, Gu Rong said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, Crown Prince, why did you behave so unusually at the Pope Hall Academy yesterday?"
Judging by what Fengzhi said, Xue Qinghe and Xu Sheng are supposed to be very good friends, but their meeting yesterday didn't seem like that at all!
Of course, Xue Qinghe couldn't reveal the real reason, giving an ambiguous response, "It's nothing, just some minor disagreements, which we've already clarified."
Gu Rong did not press further, "I see, but no matter what, Xu Sheng is the Saint Heir of the Martial Soul Hall. If the Crown Prince has any conflicts with him, it might affect cooperation!"
Ning Fengzhi chimed in, "Don't worry, Uncle Bone, Qinghe knows the importance, and since it's been clarified, this kind of thing shouldn't happen again!"
Xue Qinghe coughed lightly, "I was indeed a bit reckless before, this won't happen again!"
Seeing Hulena directly hug Xu Sheng, at that moment she even wanted to rebuke the former!
Although she held back, it was unspeakably painful in her heart!
Ning Fengzhi noticing the situation, also changed the topic, "Qinghe, prepare yourself, we will go visit Bi Bidong soon, she should have received the response from the Worship Hall by now."
Xue Qinghe furrowed his brows, "Teacher, isn't it a bit too early to go now?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Though I don't claim to understand Bi Bidong well, based on her past manner of doing things, the people she sent to the Worship Hall should already be back!"
"The sooner we negotiate the cooperation, the sooner we can have peace of mind!"
Xue Qinghe recalled what Xu Sheng said before and suddenly reminded, "Teacher, the formidable strength of the abyssal creatures might not be something that simple cooperation can resolve."
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged, responding, "But Qinghe, without cooperation, it will never be solved. At least before the abyssal creatures make a move, we need to take the initiative!"
Originally, humans were already at a disadvantage in battles with abyssal creatures, and now is the time to be prepared before the official conflict begins!
...
Inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
The originally desolate Core Zone, due to the presence of these soul beasts, was revitalized with some vigor!
The Azure Oxpython gazed at them freely, sighing, "Until now, the Spirit Pagoda has gradually sent over hundreds of revived soul beasts, this kind of efficiency is quite decent!"
Even though the days here are tedious, their company makes it tolerable!
The Titan Ape nodded but frowned, "But big brother, to revitalize the Soul Beast Clan, merely a few hundred isn't enough, at least ten thousand or even hundreds of thousands are needed!"
The Azure Oxpython glanced at him, chuckling lightly, "Take it slow, right now the Spirit Pagoda hasn't put its full effort into reviving soul beasts so as not to attract attention from other forces!"
"Moreover... if there are too many, the plane we've established can't accommodate so many soul beasts!"
The Titan Ape was startled for a moment and then showed a relieved expression, "Hmm... what you say makes sense, but with too many, we'll need to find these little guys a place not influenced by humans!"
"The only places I can think of are the far northern lands and the ocean, but... these revived soul beasts are so weak that they might freeze, starve, or even cannibalize before growing mature!"
The Azure Oxpython patted him on the shoulder, "Don't overthink, when the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a road! Perhaps, Gu Yue was born to revitalize the Soul Beast Clan."
Otherwise, how would she possess the legendary bloodline of the Silver Dragon King!
However, the next second, as if realizing something else, he frowned, "By the way, second brother, did you hear anything about the abyss after leaving the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"
Though they hadn't seen the abyss firsthand, they had heard about abyssal creatures and knew they were the fourth type of creatures, aside from humans, Spirit Souls, and soul beasts!
Upon hearing this, the Titan Ape's face turned grave, "Hmm, apparently, many soul masters, including Peak Douluo, have died from the human army stationed there!"
"Moreover, Tang Wulin... that child of Tang San's, seems to be a member of the Blood God Army and has proactively requested reinforcements from the Spirit Pagoda..."
The Azure Oxpython's interest was piqued, prompting him to ask, "And what happened then?"
The Titan Ape pressed his lips together, "Rejected by Gu Yuena!"
The former was surprised, "Isn't Gu Yuena in love with that child? Yet she chose to refuse?"
The Titan Ape supported his chin with his hand, "I think it might be due to the revival of soul beasts, so Gu Yuena wants to preserve the overall strength of the Spirit Pagoda, as in the future, the enemy might be the humans of the entire Continent!"
The Azure Oxpython agreed with this line of reasoning, "Hmm... Makes sense, however, it seems necessary for us to have a thorough discussion with Tang Wulin, or else, should they meet again in the future, they might become enemies!"
At present, Tang Wulin is the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion!
He will surely need to govern the broader situation in the future, which implies he cannot let personal feelings guide his actions towards Gu Yuena!
The Titan Ape realized, "You indeed think comprehensively, big brother, I should go to the Blood God Army... uh, seems I can't go that far, otherwise, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform can't be sustained!!"
After saying that, he scratched his head awkwardly...
Even though he has lived among humans for so long, he still finds it difficult to entirely give up the soul beast nature...
The Azure Oxpython sighed, "It's simple, use spiritual power to control a few humans, or tempt them with money, and they would willingly go deliver the message!"
When will the second brother be able to fully integrate into human society like I have!
"Understood, big brother!"
...
Tang Sect!
Zang Xin, with his hands behind his back, lamented, "Who would have thought that the outbreak of abyssal creatures this time would result in the complete demise of the Blood Gods of the Blood God Army, which is indeed a huge blow!"
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have sought reinforcements from other forces!"
If I remember correctly, the Sect Leader, who is the former Blood One, also sacrificed himself to protect the Abyssal Seal!
Next to him, Guo Xiaoxu nodded slightly, "Hmm, but Sect Leader, shouldn't we consider? Sending Tang Sect disciples to support the Blood God Army now might lead to a high chance of not returning..."
If several major forces were all providing support, there would be no objection, but now only Tang Sect expresses willingness, inevitably causing some dissatisfaction in the heart...
