100Chapter 100 Tang Clan's Ice and Fire Order
Lu Jun was trying to compress the ultimate ice soul power more finely, and he also needed to use powerful mental power to micro-control the ultimate ice.
This was an advanced course assigned to him by Leng Yaozhu, which taught him to micro-manipulate his mental power and control the ultimate ice, so that his soul power could be shaped into a soul core.
However, Leng Yaozhu was obviously not thinking about this today.
Several times, Lu Jun completed the stage results and looked up, only to find that Leng Yaozhu's eyes were still fixed on the light screen, as if she had completely forgotten his existence.
This abnormal busyness and absent-mindedness made Lu Jun feel a little uneasy.
Something that could distract Leng Yaozhu so much must be something very important.
Just then.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
A rapid and sharp communication alert tone broke the silence in the office.
The soul guide communicator on Leng Yaozhu's wrist, which was of simple shape and inlaid with dark blue crystals, vibrated violently, and a scarlet light spot indicating emergency flashed on the screen.
Leng Yaozhu paused and frowned even tighter.
She raised her hand to answer the call, and an encrypted, slightly distorted voice immediately rang out in the office, speaking very quickly and with a sense of urgency.
Lu Jun immediately collected his mind, stopped practicing, and pretended to close his eyes to rest, but in fact he raised his perception to the extreme, trying to capture the words leaked in the communication.
It's just that Leng Yaozhu's cultivation is too strong.
Just isolate everything.
Therefore, Lu Jun could not hear anything.
In the next second, Leng Yaozhu suddenly slammed the table and stood up: mixed with suppressed anger:
"Is this what you call sincerity? Do you treat people as fools? Leng Yulai can do it, but he absolutely cannot! This is the final bottom line!"
"If you still want to talk..."
Leng Yaozhu seemed to notice that Lu Jun was eavesdropping.
So she raised her hands again, blocking out everything.
The communication did not last long, but it seemed that every second was filled with invisible confrontation and tension.
When Leng Yaozhu finally cut off the communication, the chill emanating from her body almost caused tiny ice crystals to form in the air.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress her surging anger, and turned her gaze to Lu Jun in the corner.
"Mr. Lu."
"Teacher." Lu Jun immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and looked solemn.
Leng Yaozhu rubbed his brows, a trace of fatigue on his face:
"It's about the Tang Sect. We've had some preliminary results from our negotiations with them."
She paused, as if weighing her words, her tone tinged with obvious sarcasm:
"The Tang Sect, perhaps feeling guilty or perhaps not wanting to completely break up the relationship, has proposed a compensation plan. They're willing to give you a Tang Sect Ice and Fire Token in exchange for allowing you to enter a core secret realm they control."
"According to their description, that secret realm contains top-tier natural treasures accumulated by the Tang Clan over generations. They're all at the level of immortal herbs. Absorbing just one would be enough for an ordinary person to ascend to heaven. The Tang Clan's decision to let you choose is considered... an apology for their previous actions against you."
"Ice and Fire Order? Secret realm?" Lu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Instead of feeling happy, he felt alarmed.
A chill instantly ran up from my spine to the top of my head.
Enter the core secret realm controlled by the Tang Sect?
What's the difference between this and a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Who outside can know what happened inside?
No matter how powerful the Spirit Pagoda is, it is impossible for it to reach into the secret realm of the Tang Sect!
If it goes in like this, it would be considered lucky if there is nothing left of it.
Seeing Lu Jun's instantly tense body and the undisguised vigilance in his eyes, Leng Yaozhu's eyes flashed with a hint of approval.
She nodded. "Your reaction is very good. It seems you are very smart. You realized something immediately."
"Yes, this pie is too big and too poisonous."
"We absolutely do not believe that the Tang Sect has any good intentions. Letting you in would be tantamount to committing suicide."
She walked to the huge French window, overlooking the bustling soul lights of Mingdu below, and said in a cold voice:
"So, we rejected it and proposed a compromise plan that we both could accept temporarily."
"The location for compensation will be a neutral city far away from Mingdu and Shrek City, Maple Leaf City."
"We will specify the compensation in terms of several top-level resources they must provide."
"The most important thing is..." Leng Yaozhu turned around and stared at Lu Jun with a sharp gaze, "This time, your senior sister Leng Yulai will represent the Spirit Pagoda and personally receive the handover."
"As for you, you are not allowed to leave Mingdu at all, understand?"
Hearing that he didn't have to go, the huge stone in Lu Jun's heart finally fell to the ground, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Yes, teacher, of course I understand."
As long as he doesn't move, he will undoubtedly be safest in Mingdu, where the power of the Spirit Pagoda is most concentrated.
"Yeah." Leng Yaozhu's expression eased slightly. "Also, we have mobilized a lot of intelligence resources to investigate the mysterious spirit master team that attacked you, but we haven't found any valuable clues so far."
"They just disappeared without a trace, which is very unusual. It shows that the person behind this is extremely cautious and powerful."
"You must remember that the Tang Clan isn't the only force keeping an eye on you. Never let your guard down!"
"ah?"
Even the Spirit Pagoda couldn't find out who that team was?
Lu Jun began to think about the forces in the original work.
Could it be the Holy Spirit Church led by the Demon Emperor?
He still can't find where the Demon Emperor is.
This is also a dangerous goal.
She definitely won't join the Spirit Pagoda.
Leng Yaozhu continued:
"In the next period of time, I will deal with the details of the compensation and subsequent negotiations with the Tang Sect, ensure Leng Yulai's safety, and prevent the Tang Sect from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
"If we're not careful, this superficial compromise could escalate into a full-scale conflict between the two major forces. That would be a disaster for the entire continent, and no one wants to see that happen."
She waved her hand and began to drive Lu Jun away:
"You can't fall behind in your studies at the academy. Go back first and focus on your training. Class 1 has a new homeroom teacher, and he's said to be very strong. You should go get familiar with him."
"Remember, stay alert in the academy, but don't be overly nervous. It's safe there. If you see anything unusual, contact me or your master immediately."
"Yes, teacher, you should be careful too." Lu Jun nodded solemnly and bowed deeply.
He could feel the immense pressure and heavy sense of protection in Leng Yaozhu's words.
It feels good to have someone protecting you.
After leaving Leng Yaozhu's office filled with invisible smoke, Lu Jun did not feel completely relaxed.
The Tang Clan's Ice and Fire Order trap, the mysterious attacker's disappearance, and the risk of Leng Yulai going alone to trade...
All these were like a layer of haze, hanging over his heart.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his complicated thoughts.
Become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger can one truly control his own destiny, rather than becoming a pawn in power games and putting those who care about him in danger.
He took a step forward, his figure blending into the bright soul guide lights of Mingdu, and quickly returned towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
