Chapter 64 Who Did This?

"How is this possible!"

After being defeated by the black-haired boy, Gu Yue felt an overwhelming shock in her heart.

She could not understand how a nine-year-old human soul master could possibly be powerful enough to effortlessly defeat her, the Sovereign of Soul Beasts.

This defeat even shook Gu Yue's confidence in the revival of the soul beast clan.

"I actually lost. Are humans truly this powerful? If so, can I still lead Di Tian and the others to victory against humans?"

Just as Gu Yue's mind was wavering, Wu Zhangkong happened to reveal the information about the opponents that the three members of Class Zero had encountered during their assessment.

Because Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had both guessed their opponents, only Gu Yue wore a bewildered expression. Therefore, Wu Zhangkong only stated the opponent Gu Yue had encountered:

"The one who defeated Gu Yue is the founder of the Pagoda, the Pagoda Master, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao..."

Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao!

Gu Yue lowered her head slightly as the seven-colored elemental force raged wildly within her black eyes, its intensity even surpassing a volcanic eruption.

The black-haired boy who had defeated her so effortlessly was actually Huo Yuhao!

She, the majestic Sovereign of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King!

Had actually lost to a good-for-nothing who had to exhaust all his strength just to execute a counterkill on a ten-year Wind Baboon?

Moreover, that was Huo Yuhao at age eleven; a nine-year-old Huo Yuhao was even inferior to a ten-year Wind Baboon!

"You... you are simply bullying dragons too much!"

Gu Yue had never imagined that there would come a day when her self-esteem would be so deeply humiliated. Furthermore, this had even shaken her conviction to revive the soul beast clan. Had she not learned the true history of Huo Yuhao from Bi Ji, she would have been completely kept in the dark!

"Diverting my state of mind—Tang Sect, there is no longer any need for you to exist!"

A monstrous killing intent filled Gu Yue's heart, and her disguised black eyes almost reverted to their true purple hue.

This terrifying killing intent was so intense that even Na'er, far away at Shrek Academy, was frightened into dropping the Silver Dragon Spear from her hand.

"What is the main body doing? Why is she suddenly going crazy?"

Na'er lost all mood to practice her spear techniques. She calmed her mind and perceived the situation on the main body's side through the connection between them.

"So that's what happened..."

After learning what had occurred, Na'er hardly knew what to say. As the secondary personality of the main body, she knew all too well what kind of temperament the main body possessed.

"Tang Sect..."

"Forget it, Big Brother has already joined the Spirit Pagoda anyway and will no longer join the Tang Sect."

"Since that is the case, what does the life or death of the Tang Sect have to do with me? Let her do as she pleases."

...

One day later.

Citizens of the Federation saw the following news broadcast on the Soul Guidance television:

Following a solemn piece of music, a neatly dressed male and female anchor appeared on the Soul Guidance screen:

"Good afternoon, dear viewers. Today is Thursday, January 15th. Welcome to the midday news broadcast..."

Halfway through the news, the situation changed.

The background music suddenly turned somber, and the anchors wore solemn expressions:

"Our station is now interrupting with a breaking major announcement!"

"We have just received the latest bulletin from Donghai City of the Federation:

The 'Xuan Shi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd.', located within the Donghai Soul Guidance Technology Park, has suffered an attack by unidentified terrorists.

Initial site confirmation indicates that the entire enterprise building has been razed to the ground, all personnel of the company have tragically perished, and property losses are extremely severe.

Currently, federal and local law enforcement departments have initiated emergency responses and launched a comprehensive investigation."

"We express our strongest condemnation of this vicious act of terrorism!

Terrorist acts are a blatant challenge to human civilization. We extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the victims and their families.

At the same time, we urge the general public to remain calm and vigilant. If you discover any suspicious clues, please immediately call the official hotline to report them.

The relevant government departments are sparing no effort to track down the perpetrators and maintain social security and stability.

We will continue to follow up on this matter and release the latest developments in a timely manner..."

...

In front of the Soul Guidance television, Xu Zhao, who was eating his lunch, heard the words "Xuan Shi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd." in the news broadcast. Only then did he raise his head from his meal and look at the television screen.

"Xuan Shi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd.? Isn't this a subsidiary under the Tang Sect?"

Xu Zhao had found it familiar when he first heard it, and combining it with the news broadcast stating that the company was located in the Donghai Soul Guidance Technology Park of Donghai City, he immediately remembered.

He did not originally have the habit of watching the midday news, or rather, the habit of watching live news broadcasts. But for a wealthy and powerful family, official news was far more important than any romantic scandals or gossip.

Thus, Xu Zhao had passively developed this habit; otherwise, he truly would have missed this blockbuster news.

"I remember there was no such plot in the original work, right?"

"Just who has such great audacity and courage to dare attack a subsidiary of the Tang Sect in broad daylight?"

"Could it be the Holy Ghost Church?"

Xu Zhao thought this because he felt it might be the butterfly effect triggered by him snatching Tang Ziran and his wife away from the Holy Ghost Church.

"However, to pull off such a major stunt and yet only attack the Tang Sect while sparing the surrounding enterprises, that doesn't seem like the Holy Ghost Church's style of operation, does it?"

"Things are truly getting more and more interesting!"

...

Shrek City.

At the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng also saw this breaking news broadcast.

"What are those fellows from the Holy Ghost Church up to? Didn't we agree to keep a low profile these past few years?"

Seeing this breaking news, he was so angry that he wanted to find the Ghost Emperor on the spot to have it out with him.

Attacking the Tang Sect at a time like this—if it made the Tang Sect and Shrek vigilant, wouldn't that ruin his plan to destroy Shrek and the Tang Sect?

As a result, just as Qiangu Dongfeng wanted to move to an undisturbed, confidential location, he was blocked right in his path by Leng Ruorui.

"Qiangu Dongfeng!" Leng Ruorui blocked the hallway, aggressively demanding:

"Speak, was this your doing!"

"Ruorui, don't make false accusations!" Qiangu Dongfeng roared with a fiery temper.

If he had really done it, he would instead be able to face Leng Ruorui's questioning calmly. But since he really hadn't done it, Leng Ruorui rushing up to question him like this wronged him to the extreme.

Moreover, no matter what happened, as long as there was even the slightest connection to Yun Ming, Leng Ruorui would fly into a rage and rush over to demand whether he was the one behind it.

This made Qiangu Dongfeng, the Pagoda Master, extremely, extremely, extremely displeased!

On what grounds?

Just because you rely on the fact that I like you? Do you dare to ride roughshod over my face and output like this?

His liking for Leng Ruorui did not mean he was lovesick; his career was his ultimate pursuit, and he wouldn't remain unmarried for a woman for the rest of his life, especially now that his grandson had already grown up.

"Step aside!"

"If you block me again, don't blame me for being discourteous to your precious disciple!"

"You..." Leng Ruorui's imposing aura shrank.

Actually, the moment she saw Qiangu Dongfeng's reaction, she knew that he was most likely not the one who did it.

However, just because I was wrong didn't mean I would admit I was wrong.

Yun Ming had never shouted at her, yet Qiangu Dongfeng, since you like me, how dare you shout at me like this! And even threaten me!

Leng Ruorui stepped aside and finally shouted at Qiangu Dongfeng's retreating back:

"Qiangu Dongfeng, you jerk!"
