"With my current strength, if I intervene in Divine Realm matters, not only will I make mistakes, but I might also endanger Bing'er. It's more important to temporarily focus on enhancing my strength."
In the hall, after the Ice Phoenix returned to his body, Shui Wuya pondered for a while and made a decision.
Currently, he had the Ice God Mirror, which allowed him to monitor the Divine Realm's movements at any time. The only drawback was that the Ice God Mirror was fixed in the hall and couldn't be stored in a storage soul device.
"What should we do now?"
At this moment, the Ice Emperor's voice sounded beside him.
"Go back."
Shui Wuya's eyes lit up. He had already decided to stay in the Tian Shui Sect.
Shortly after, Shui Wuya and the Five Great Spirit Souls left the hall. They then realized that the hall had a name—a simple plaque hung above the hall.
Engraved on the plaque were three ancient characters: Water's Edge Hall!
Shui Hall?
Bing'er, Shui Wuya?
Thinking of this, Shui Wuya smiled faintly, then led the Five Great Spirit Souls back towards the water's surface.
However, this time, as they passed through the barrier of the underwater world, Shui Wuya discovered that this barrier not only concealed the underwater scenery but also completely masked the aura of the underwater world!
Perhaps this was also why Bing'er had left the Ice God Mirror in the Shui Palace.
With this barrier in place, it prevented the Ice God Mirror from being discovered by the Divine Realm.
"Patriarch, you're still alive!"
After a few breaths, Shui Wuya returned to the surface and saw Mo Lihai, who was about to sacrifice himself to enter the Tian Shui Pool. Joy immediately appeared on his face.
However, upon hearing this, Shui Wuya was instantly speechless.
What do you mean, he's still alive?
Did these people on the ground think he died underwater?
"Patriarch, please don't misunderstand. We just couldn't sense your aura earlier and thought there might be danger under the water, so we thought you might have encountered an accident."
Mo Lihai quickly realized that what he had said was wrong and hurriedly explained himself.
Hearing this, Shui Wuya waved his hand. Naturally, he wouldn't pursue the matter.
Just the fact that they thought there might be danger underwater and were willing to risk going under the water showed their loyalty, which satisfied him.
"Master Mo, inform the clan. I'll stay in the Tian Shui Sect for a while."
Finally, Shui Wuya spoke.
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the Tian Shui Sect, led by Mo Lihai, showed extreme joy on their faces!
Although they didn't know what Shui Wuya experienced under the water, Shui Wuya's order for the Tian Shui Sect to inform the clan meant that Shui Wuya had re-embraced the Tian Shui Sect!
"The Tian Shui Sect obeys the Patriarch's orders!"
For a moment, led by Mo Lihai, all the people of the Tian Shui Sect knelt down on one knee, their voices unified and neat.
"Please rise."
Shui Wuya walked past Mo Lihai, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth as he gently patted Mo Lihai's shoulder.
"Mo Lihai, in the future, be more discerning. Not everyone is qualified to inherit the legacy of the Ice God."
Shui Wuya smiled faintly, finally addressing the matter that Mo Lihai had been worried about for some time.
In fact, Shui Wuya had known about the major misunderstanding in the Tian Shui Sect from the moment he left Ice God Island, as Shui Xingtian had informed him. Mo Lihai mistook Huo Yuhao as the inheritor of the Ice God's legacy and promised to provide him with all the resources for cultivation.
However, since arriving at the Tian Shui Sect, he had not mentioned this matter, wanting to see what kind of medicine the Tian Shui Sect was selling in its gourd.
At this moment, the Tian Shui Sect had shown absolute loyalty to the Shui family. Naturally, Shui Wuya would no longer dwell on this matter.
Shortly after, Shui Wuya left the Tian Shui Pool, followed closely by the elders of the Tian Shui Sect.
"Xin yan, remember to serve the Clan Chief well. If you can catch the Clan Chief's eye, it will bring immense prosperity to you and to the sect."
After standing up, Mo Lihai cautiously admonished the Saintess Mo Xinyan beside him.
"Master, Xinyan remembers."
Mo Xinyan nodded respectfully and quickly followed in Water Wuyan's footsteps.
Subsequently, the Tian Shui Sect immediately transmitted the news of Shui Wuya's decision to temporarily reside in the Tian Shui Sect back to the Shui family, and Shui Wuya began to receive various news about events happening outside.
Over the next two days, while concentrating on cultivation, Water Wuyan learned of various dramatic changes happening outside from Shui Xingtian.
During this time, Mo Xinyan had indeed been serving Shui Wuya diligently, as Mo Lihai had instructed.
However, Shui Wuya paid no attention to Mo Xinyan's various hints, which left her in a melancholic mood.
On the other side of the world, in the Mingdu.
With the long-delayed Mingdu Conference about to begin after nearly two years, most of the forces from all over the world had already arrived in Mingdu.
As a result, Mingdu became exceptionally lively. However, the Shrek Academy, which was resisting the Beast Tide, was notably absent.
However, when news of the Beast Tide launching an attack on Shrek City in the Star Dou Forest reached the Sun Moon Empire, it instantly shocked the entire empire!
At the same time, when the Star Luo, Tianhun, and Dou Ling Empires learned of the severity of the Beast Tide, they all sent troops to support Shrek Academy.
In the outskirts of Mingdu City, in the headquarters hall of the Holy Spirit Religion in the underground world.
A tense meeting was currently underway, with a heavy atmosphere pervading the room.
"Is the news confirmed?"
Zhong Liwu listened to the report just made by the Elder, his face as dark as water, exuding a fierce killing intent.
"It's absolutely true. In the Castle of the Dead, the supreme elder Ye Xishui and the chief worshiper Long Xiaoyao have all lost contact and are now missing."
The Grand Elder trembled with fear, afraid of angering Zhong Liwu.
"Dispatch all our scouts. Even if it provokes the empires, we must find the trace of the Supreme Elder!"
Zhong Liwu suppressed his anger. The incident where Shui Wuya challenged the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Religion had not been resolved yet, and now both Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Religion had disappeared.
It could be said that without him, the Ultimate Douluo overseeing the Holy Spirit Religion, there might be riots among the lower ranks!
"What about the Mingdu Conference?" the Grand Elder asked nervously after a moment.
At his words, Zhong Liwu raised an eyebrow.
"Send the Blue Silver Saintess to participate. According to the original plan, we must win the championship of the conference."
After pondering for a moment, Zhong Liwu responded.
...
Several days passed. On the city walls of Shrek City, it had turned into a scene of carnage!
Everywhere, shattered bodies of soul beasts and soul masters were visible. The soul beasts were torn apart, and most of the soul masters were reduced to mere skeletons, blood pooling on the ground.
The air was filled with the nauseating stench of blood.
However, despite this, the Beast Tide launched by the Star Dou Forest had yet to breach the massive city walls.
On the city walls were not only the sacrifices of the Sea God Pavilion and the students and teachers of Shrek Academy, but also reinforcements from the Star Luo, Tianhun, and Dou Ling Empires.
Among them, the reinforcements from the Star Luo Empire were led by none other than the Duke White Tiger, leading a military force!
"Master Xuan, up to this day, except for the Bear King, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the Crimson King, none of the other top-tier beasts have appeared in the Star Dou Forest's Beast Tide, including the Beast God, Emperor Tian..."
On the city walls, Yan Shaozhe reported to Xuan Zi with a grave expression, detailing the appearance of top-tier beasts during the past few days of fighting against the Beast Tide.
