"I figure it's a long one." Said Mu Xi as she glances between both of the boys before moving to sit down.
Everyone else followed her example, as they all sat down and waited for Yue Zhengyu to start recounting the story. Yue Zhengyu glance at Tang Wulin before staring the story, with them reaching the endless mountain.
In the next few minutes, everyone's expression except for Tang Wulin went through various changes as they listen to the story. From the existence of the abyssal creatures to the plane invasion to the existence known as the Sage King and Surtr.
With each part of the story being more shocking than the last. After Yue Zhengyu was done, everyone was silent as they began taking in what they heard.
"So... You're saying there are these abyssal creatures from another plane? That wants to invade our world and take over?"Questioned Xu Lizhi after a bit with his expression being grim.
"Yes." Said Yue Zhengyu.
"This has been going on for six thousand years?" Questioned Wu Siduo as she furrowed her brows.
"That's what Zang Xin and Yun Ming said." Said Yu Zhengyu causing her expression to turn grimmer.
"And before Tang Wulin went there, they had no way of winning this war? It was at a standstill?"Questioned Dai Yun'er as she trembled in shock and slight fear.
"That was the best state, that they could be in. As the abyssal creature immortality was something too great to overcome."Said Yue Zhengyu causing them all to nod their head.
"And they have a god-level figure at the top?" Questioned Gue Yue with a small frown.
"Yes." Said Tang Wulin with a faint smile as his excitement was showing faintly.
Gu Yue glared at Tang Wulin, as she already knew and understand why he was smiling. As when it came to a fight, depending on the opponent, his care for how the fight affects others will be dismissed.
"So not only do we have to deal with the Calamities but also the abyssal plane." Said Mu Xi with a sigh as she started rubbing her head.
"And only Wulin can fully kill them?" Questioned Xu Xiaoyan causing Tang Wulin and Yue Zhengyu to nod their head.
"The Golden Dragon Spear can absorb them and refine their essence." Said Tang Wulin causing all of their lips to twitch.
Yue Zhengyu already mentioned how Zang Xin believed that Wulin would be able to push himself to the Limit Douluo stage with ease. As the abyssal plane was no better than a big cultivation place for him.
Such a thing made all of them sigh in slight jealousy and amazement. They all understand how hard it was trying to reach the next rank, let alone Limit Douluo level.
With the abyssal creatures, Tang Wulin didn't need to worry about needing any energy to increase her cultivation.
Still, they understand how valuable his ability is to the Blood God Army, as not even they could permanently kill the creatures.
"I wonder, Na'er can your spear absorb them too?" Questioned Tang Wulin causing everyone to shift their gaze to her.
"Since your spear can, then I should be able to. As both of our spears has the power of absorption instilled in it."Said Na'er causing everyone's eyes to widen.
'I thought as much.' Thought Tang Wulin as he knew his spear was made from a bone of the Golden Dragon King.
While her spear came from the Silver Dragon King, he wasn't sure if it was also made from its bone but he knew it didn't matter. As both weapons should have some similarities with each other, considering they are opposite to each other.
"Wait, Na'er can also absorb the abyssal creatures? This isn't a bad thing, at least this will make it easier on you."Said Yue Zhengyu causing everyone to nod their head.
"You should tell your teacher, I'm sure he will be happy about this discovery." Said Xu Lizhi causing Na'er to giggle before she nodded her head.
"Still to think you and Surtr would work together to push back the Sage King." Said Xie Xie with a grin causing Tang Wulin lips to twitch.
Well, it wasn't like they wanted their fight to be disturbed. Even if they didn't work together, it wasn't hard to push back the Sage King back into his realm, while the plane was suppressing him.
"Now what? Do we deal with the abyssal plane until they locate Jormungandr?"Questioned Liu Yuxin.
They all fell silent before glancing at Tang Wulin, as he was the main one that had a chance of doing anything significant for them.
"There may be a way to locate them." Said Tang Wulin after a bit, as he slightly narrowed his eyes in thought.
"You have away?" Questioned Na'er in surprise, as she didn't think one could locate a God-level being if those beings didn't want to be found.
"Maybe, but it will require us to go somewhere." Said Tang Wulin causing Mu Xi to speak up.
"Where?"
"Star Luo Empire." Said Tang Wulin causing Dai Yun'er to flinch and Yue Zhengyu to slightly narrow his eyes.
"...It does make sense, as that was the last place it was sighted."Said Gu Yue.
With Wulin's connection with nature and plane, it may be possible for him to find clues about where Jormungandr went. Even if they can't exactly pinpoint its location, at least they should be able to find something close to it.
"But what about Yun'er?" Questioned Xu Xiaoyan causing Gu Yue to glance at her before moving her gaze at Dai Yun'er.
"Do you think you're ok to go back home?" Questioned Gu Yue causing Dai Yun'er to slightly trembled as she gazed at the floor.
Yue Zhengyu didn't say anything as he knew this was her decision and couldn't say anything to interfere with it. It wasn't him but everyone, as they knew how much of an impact the events months ago, had on her.
"If we do go back, are we only going there to find clues? Nothing else?"Questioned Dai Yun'er causing Tang Wulin to tilt his head at her.
"Is there something else you want to do?"
"I was wondering if we could -" Dai Yun'er began talking but then she began trailing off as if the thing she wanted was something drastic.
She clenches her fist while biting her lips as she began thinking. Everyone was gazing at her, already knowing or perceiving what she was going to ask.
"Is there something else you want to do?" Questioned Tang Wulin once again causing everyone to be surprised.
They all knew Wulin should have been able to understand what she was going to ask, but he was still insisting.
This caused them to be both surprised and suspicious, as they tried to grasp his motive.
Dai Yun'er was able to perceive this too, as she moved her gaze towards Tang Wulin who was still staring at her. His gaze held no emotion; it was as blank as an empty canvas, nothing could be read as his gaze matched hers.
'Screw it.' Thought Dai Yun'er as she opened up her mouth.
"Can you all help me with the Star Luo Empire?" Questioned Dai Yun'er, knowing her request was both selfish and unfair to the people in front of her.
This was the same empire that was gunning for their defeat, the same empire that wanted to trash them, and the ones who cursed out Wulin.
Her request was no different than asking them to risk their lives to help fix the empire problem.
As it was no secret that there is an inner war going on in the Star Luo Empire, with various factions involved. Not only that but she is also asking Wulin to pause his pursuit of the Calamity to help out with her problem.
And yet, the words that came out of Wulin surprise not only her but the others around her too.
"Okay." Said Tang Wulin.
"You will help me?" Questioned Dai Yun'er wide eye, as she never thought he would stop his hunt for her selfish request.
"Why not? It would be a good mini-event before I get on to fighting a god. Besides, I'm interested in Star Luo Empire's top fighters."Said Tang Wulin with a yawn causing all of them to blink their eyes.
"That's the reason!" Shouted Mu Xi in exasperation while Tang Wulin rolled his eyes.
"Of course, why else would I pause my pursuit for this?" Questioned Tang Wulin with a raised brow.
"She is our friend?" Questioned Xie Xie with a chuckle causing Tang Wulin to chuckle.
"Why do you think you guys are here? Even if I didn't go, you guys can handle it."Said Tang Wulin, easily dismissing their concern.
"That's not answering the question, boss!"
"Anyway, since that's the plan, get ready. We are leaving in a week."Said Tang Wulin as he ignored Xie Xie.
They all nodded their head, while Dai Yun'er kept on saying thank you. But Tang Wulin told her to shut up, there isn't much to be thankful for.
"Honestly, It might be better if I just go there in that form."Mutter Tang Wulin causes everyone but Xie Xie to be confused.
"No!" Shouted Xie Xie causing everyone to jump in surprise, while Tang Wulin raises a brow.
"Wulin you might destroy the capital." Said Xie Xie causing Tang Wulin's lips to twitch.
'Well, he isn't wrong.' Thought Tang Wulin with a sigh.
Whenever he tapped into his dragon form, his predatory instincts have more control than his rational mind.
Making him more destructive towards the area around him and ruthless to everything.
It wasn't wrong to say if he wasn't careful. He might just obliterate Star Luo Empire if they attacked him in fright or rage.
He wouldn't mind this as much if he wasn't also going there to save the empire, not fully destroy it. There was also the chance his attack on the place might affect the Sea Beast in the water.
As he plans to go there and ask them if they know the whereabouts of the Earth Shaker.
"So we need a way to get inside Star Luo, without anyone noticing?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu.
"You think the Sea God Pavilion Master has some way?" Questioned Ye Xinglan causing Na'er to shrug her shoulder.
"I can ask master, as long as we tell him why." Said Na'er.
"Either that, or I guess we take a boat to the border of the Star Luo. Before reaching the place by diving." Said Tang Wulin causing everyone's lips to twitch.
But it wasn't like they had a better plan, as they might get attacked if they sailed with a ship straight onto the shore.
Plus they weren't sure if flying above Star Luo would be safe, considering how paranoid and locked down the empire was at the moment.
"So I guess, all that is left to do is get ready." Said Xu Lizhi causing everyone to nod their head.
"If you guys have time. Do you guys want to come with me to meet my mother?" Asked Wu Siduo causing everyone to blink their eyes.
"Are you inviting us, out to meet your mother?" Questioned Xie Xie.
"Is there a problem?" Questioned Wu Siduo with slight redness on her cheek.
Her mother wanted her to bring all of her friends, the next time she visited. As she wanted to see the people that she spent most of her time with.
Wu Siduo didn't find anything particularly wrong with this, as she did value them greatly. But she was unsure if they would have time to come with her.
"Of course not, this is great." Said Xie Xie with a big grin.
"Of course, we will come. How could we miss this?"Questioned Mu Xi with a smile.
It wasn't just her and Xie Xie but everyone else, even Gu Yue nodded her head. As she didn't have anything pressing to do and knew she had to look after the battle lust idiot.
"Thank you." Said Wu Siduo with a blush on her face, to the shock of everyone.
"So even you can get embarrassed." Said Xie Xie with a chuckle causing everyone else to laugh.
While Wu Siduo glared at him, she wanted to punch him in the face but she knew it wouldn't stop this embarrassment.
After they all finished laughing, they agreed to visit her in two days, and then they all started to leave.
Some of them went towards their master for help, while others went to a secluded place to cultivate. The only one left in the room was Gu Yue, Na'er, and Tang Wulin.
"I'm not surprised the plane can't help you." Said Gu Yue with a sigh, as she knew how amazing one divine sense is.
Unless one had a divine sense, locating and perceiving a god is near impossible. A god could be right in front of you, and you wouldn't even notice because of their divine sense.
"Either way, hopefully, you can find some clues." Mutter Gu Yue.
Tang Wulin didn't respond to her, as he too was wondering if the Sea beasts would be helpful. It wasn't like he knew how much they would help him, even with his Sea God bloodline.
It was then he felt something soft encircle his arm, glancing to the side, he saw Na'er with a smile on her face holding him.
"Let's go." Said Na'er causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.
"Where are you guys going?" Questioned Gu Yue but Na'er only giggle with a hand over her mouth.
"Secret." Said Na'er causing Gu Yue to lips to twitch.
Gu Yue sighed as she knew she didn't have time to deal with Na'er antics, as she had to go back to her master.
Saying goodbye to both of them, she left the worker doom.
"Where are you trying to take me?" Questioned Tang Wulin causing Na'er to smile.
"Mom and Dad, wanted us to have dinner together." Said Na'er.
'That is true, we haven't eaten together in years.' Thought Tang Wulin with a sigh before nodding his head.
In a matter of minutes, he and Na'er left the worker dorm, heading toward the area where their parents were.
