It didn't take Tang Wulin and the others to begin setting off. The mothership that they were on was moving forward in front of all of the battleships.
The formation was a triangular one, with the mother ship at the point and the others behind it.
One of the benefits of this was because of Tang Wulin who was at the forefront would be able to help defend them from attacks.
Precisely if the incoming battle will involve the use of God-Killer weapons. It will take them about a day if they continue going at the same speed.
This was the date they obtained from the signal of the solar sonar that they had installed into the mothership. A soul technology that allows them to detect any threats in advance.
This was done through them relaying the information via sound waves under the sea. Of course, such technology becomes useless with Tang Wulin onboard as his sense of the sea was terrifying.
From what he told Chen Xinjie, he could expand his spiritual sense over hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Because of this, he was able to tell the exact location of the Dou Spirit Empire battleships and motherships.
From what he could tell, they were moving unexpectedly faster than before, as if they were in a rush.
This was different from what the soul solar told them before, making Chen Xinjie wonder if the signal was disrupted.
As the Dou Spirit Empire should know about them spying on them from how they killed the spies with a cannon.
So, it isn't a surprise that they made sure to include a way to disrupt the signals and why they were speeding up so much.
Or could there be something else?
Chen Xinjie and his other generals were racking their heads on anything they missed.
While they were doing that, Tang Wulin was standing on the deck of the ship, looking on ahead.
No one was able to tell what he was thinking as he got lost in thought. Yet there is a strange gleam in his eyes as he stares ahead.

"So this is the place." Muttered Er Ming as his feet landed on the shores of Ishgar.
He stared ahead, seeing the immense city down from him, and with a single step, he reached the entrance.
As he entered the city, he saw them; he saw them all.
Soul Beasts in their true form, walking around in the streets of Tenrou City alongside some humans.
He saw some of them were inside shops carry out jobs like being a waiter or a sign holder.
Some of them were helping out with the construction work; he found out after spreading his spiritual sense.
While he could see and note the various looks on the soul beast as well as the way the humans treated them.
Ultimately, all Er Ming could think was.
'Amazing... They are actually walking, moving, and living in a city with humans.'
One has to understand this has never happened before. Anytime a soul beast was found in a human city, it would either be hunted or pushed out by the people around.
This became even more apparent through the creation of soul technology, which made it hard for any soul beast to enter a city.
As they had an automatic defense set up that would fire at any soul beast that tried to come close.
It was because of this that the action of entering let alone going near a city for a soul beast was all but suicide.
'But therein here... And they are also doing manual labor jobs as well walking around.' Thought Er Ming with a strange expression as he never thought or ever foresaw soul beast would be doing that.
Soul Beasts being waiters? Soul Beasts wiping the windows clean? Soul beast helping to bring the logs to the city?
All of this boggled Er Ming, with him questioning if he was dreaming or not.
'Still... I can see the hatred and disdain in both of their eyes. Just what do you plan to do, Wulin?' Thought Er Ming with his brows furrowed as he headed to the Pavilion.
As he was making his way past the fountains that were sprinkling water, he felt his spiritual sense fluctuate.
As three-figure appeared in front of him causing him to arch a brow.
"Are you Er Ming? The principal of the Tenrou Academy told me you would be coming. Our Body Sect Leader wants to meet you." Said one of the burly men.
'Right, he had made a call before I went and told me to meet with the person in charge.'
While he didn't like getting involved with the affairs of mankind, this affair involved his people.
And so he nodded.
"Follow us."
He saw the shadow dashing forward, with him following behind, moving so fast and stealthy.
That none of the soul beasts or humans notice their movement.

A dazzling light shined in the city of Mingdu that was recently rebuilt a month ago. An extremely gorgeous woman was revealed as the light faded away before with a step.
She moved towards the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, moving past all of the buildings and people in the city.
Before reaching the entrance in a flash.
The women step through the automated door, moving to the stairs to ascend to the top floors.
But her appearance caused a stir in the building as everyone who saw her, got lost in a daze.
As they saw an attractive woman with unrivaled beauty blessed by the heavens. They could all feel their heart speeding up and their hands getting sweaty.
It was because of this that none of them tried or was able to stop her as she ascended up the steps.
Her silver dress swayed with specs of silver light as she moved from the first floor to the second floor.
Similar reactions happened on each floor as the women ignored them all, moving towards the Vice-Master office.
Some guards who were Title Douluo were able to snap out of their gaze, moving to her to stop her.
But they all froze in fright as she glanced at them, they all felt a terrifying and horrible pressure descending down.
As if the captivating woman in front of them was one of those old monsters.
It didn't take the women long to reach the Vice-Pagoda master office, open it up, and go inside.
"... Gu Yue? Is that you?" Questioned Leng Yaozhu in surprise as she stared at the extremely beautiful woman in front of her.
The woman looked familiar to Gu Yuena, although she was even more beautiful, developed, and looked mature.
"Yes, it's me, teacher. And my name is presently Gu Yuena, the one I was using was a fake because of my clan."Said Gu Yuena, causing Leng Yaozhu to blink her eyes.
"It was a fake? Is it because your clan feared you would be targeted?"
"Yes, we had some enemies in hiding, but we were able to take care of them." Said Gu Yuena, causing Leng Yaozhu to nod her head slowly.
"Gu Yue- I mean Gu Yuena..."
Leng Yaozhu slightly blushed when she messed up while Gu Yuena smiled, not realizing how much she missed her teacher.
"It's fine master. You can keep calling me Gu Yue until you get used to my new name. Now then, where is the Spirit Pagoda Master, I heard he needs me?"
"Hmm, yeah, he does. I was planning to go meet him in his office anyway, we can go together."Said Leng Yaozhu with a smile.
Gu Yuena only nodded her head with a faint smile as she followed behind her master to the next floor.
As they were walking, Leng Yaozhu questioned Gu Yuena on her appearance changing again.
Gu Yuena used the same excuse again, her bloodline had undergone a third awakening.
And this time, she was able to achieve its full potential which caused her body and looks to change even more.
Leng Yaozhu felt something was off with Gu Yuena's explanation but in the end, she accepted it.
As they have many examples of those who underwent many awakenings that changed their appearance.
It only took them a minute to reach the Spirit Pagoda Master office and them entering inside.
"Yaozhu? And... Gu Yue?" Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng as he glanced at them walking in.
While he was on the soul communicator relaying orders to those who were on there a way to Shrek.
As well as those who were already there.
"Yes it's her but now her name is Gu Yuena." Said Leng Yaozhu.
As she went on to give Qiangu Dongfeng a summarized version of what she and Gu Yuena talked about.
"Alright, that's fine. Did you send the orders and reports I asked you to?" Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng to Leng Yaozhu who nodded her head.
She already made sure to have the Title Douluos that were inside of the Spirit Pagoda station around the city.
This way, even if the Holy Spirit Cult or Dou Spirit Empire tried to attack them, they would know beforehand.
They were also using soul technology, like the radars which utilize the air elements and earth elements to help formulate a map.
Meaning if there was any movement through the sky or land and underground, they would know.
This was because Yun Ming and the others for safety measures believed they should be alert for the other fraction as well.
While the two main choices were either the Demon Continent or Shrek, that didn't mean the others were safe.
As these evil soul masters were crazy and stupid, it wouldn't be a surprise if they attacked the Federation or Pagoda.
Just to incite even more danger and panic in the Douluo Continent.
This was something Qiangu Dongfeng and the others couldn't allow, as not only would that destroy the reputation of the Spirit Pagoda.
But it would weaken the forces of the Douluo Continent even more.
"Is there something going on?" Questioned Gu Yuena as she carefully noted the strangeness of the conversation.
"Hm, oh right. You were doing the Sea God Trials for the previous months, so you don't know. Actually is everyone in your group done with the trials?" Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng.
"No, it was only me and Na'er who were able to finish. Now, what is it that I don't know?"
"Gu Yuena... The Dou Spirit Empire and Holy Spirit Cult are collaborating with each other, they're planning to start a war. They have already sent a navy army towards us." Said Leng Yaozhi, causing Gu Yuena's eyes to widen.
"Are they stupid?"
"That's what we all said and have been wondering." Mutter Qiangu Dongfeng with a shake of his head.
"Anyway, I heard you needed me for something?" Questioned Gu Yuena.
"Right... Tell me something Gu Yuena." Said Qiangu Dongfeng as he narrowed his eyes at Gu Yuena.
"What do you think about becoming the Spirit Pagoda Master?"
