Initially, Qiangu Dongfeng was not concerned by Tang Wulin, but he gradually took notice of him. He eventually realized that Tang Wulin was getting out of control and he attempted to bring a stop to him. At this point, the young man, less than twenty years old, was already on par with Qiangu Dongfeng himself. In fact, Tang Wulin’s abilities had even surpassed his.

All these changes seemed to happen within a very short period of time, but Qiangu Dongfeng found that he was having difficulty coming to terms with it.

If he was given another chance, he would certainly kill this young man regardless of the sacrifice he had to make.

A group without a leader was doomed to fail. Even Shrek Academy could not possibly have risen again in such a short time!

Tang Wulin returned to their station next to the Life Subtree. Their barracks was extremely simple and unsophisticated. The rooms, including Tang Wulin’s, were simple metallic structures. His room was only a little more spacious than the others with a slightly larger table for meetings and discussions.

At the time, all the high-ranking personnel from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were gathered there.

“Then Spirit Pagoda is still trying to cause trouble. We should have finished them off when we had the chance. Had it not been for Old Chen’s appearance at the time, the Spirit Pagoda would not have had the audacity to do so without the Qiangu Clan,” said the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi with a cold, stern voice.

Tang Wulin said, “At the time, we couldn’t fight against the Spirit Pagoda because we had to put the interest of the whole population above everything else. We do need to stay vigilant now to prevent any disruptions from them during the operation. As the troop is split into two squads, we must be cautious of their lack of reinforcement the most. After all, both sides are attacking from different directions, so it should be fine judging by the current situation. Moreover, whether it’s the Spirit Pagoda, the Western Army Corps or the Northwest Army Corps, they don’t have the courage to do anything blatant when such a formidable enemy is before us.”

Yali nodded. “We are correct in making adequate preparations now. Anyhow, our Tang Sect’s mission is to protect Tang Wulin, right? We just need to do this well. We can see the whole picture by then. If everything is stable, we shall remain by Tang Wulin’s side. In the face of such absolute power, they can do nothing even if they want to.”

Meanwhile, a pleasant voice that sounded very familiar to Tang Wulin came from outside.

“Sir!”

Tang Wulin said, “Please come in.”

The door opened and a female soldier with a heroic bearing came walking into the room from outside. Was that Long Yuxue whom he had not seen for a long time?

In the past, Tang Wulin parted ways with Long Yuxue and Jiang Wuyue upon their return to the Blood God Army. Tang Wulin did not expect that she would actually come here this time.

Long Yuxue stood to attention and delivered a military salutation.

“Good evening, general. The Blood Dragon Unit is reporting for duty. We have received the order from the regimental commander. We are here for your orders.” She reported in an extremely formal manner, yet her beautiful pair of eyes stared at Tang Wulin’s face the whole time. Her eyes were filled with emotions that were hard to conceal.

Tang Wulin was overjoyed upon seeing her. He remembered that he had headed to the Blood God Army during his bleakest moments. He elevated himself constantly under the companionship of these people, before he eventually left them and rebuilt Shrek.

The sense of intimacy had a profound effect on him. As a result, how could he not feel delighted upon seeing her?

“Yuxue, please take a seat. Are the rest of the unit here as well, including Wuyue?” Tang Wulin asked with a smile.

Long Yuxue nodded. “Yes, every single person from the Blood Dragon Unit is here. Everyone has reported to duty.”

Tang Wulin smiled and said, “That’s awesome. You came just in time. Come, join our war council.”

Long Yuxue sat down on the last chair, but her lovely eyes remained fixed on Tang Wulin’s face. The presence of numerous Limit Douluos did not manage to draw her attention.

Tang Wulin said, “In the general offensive tomorrow, the numerous Excellencies from Shrek Academy will be protecting me. Your Excellencies, the Amorous and Heartless Douluos, please lead our Tang Sect Douluo Hall’s combat brigade. We shall cope with shifting events by maintaining the line. Follow the strategy and maintain communication at all times.”

Cao Dezhi nodded.

On a battlefield of this scale, they had to adapt to changes and respond appropriately at all times.

The combat brigade was the Tang Sect’s secret combat task force, though it did not consist of a large number of fighters. There were only two thousand members, but they were definitely the elite troops of the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect’s headquarters had suffered great loss after it was destroyed in the catastrophe. However, this combat brigade had been constantly training in secret externally. It could be said that the brigade was the Tang Sect’s core force. It was mobilized here to fight against the abyssal plane, so one could imagine how important this war was to the Tang Sect.

“Yuxue, please take charge of the communications. We will need to stay in contact with the Central Army Corps at all times.”

“Yes, sir.” Long Yuxue stood up once again and responded respectfully.

Tang Wulin smiled and said, “Please take a seat. We are not in the army here. There’s no need for the etiquette.”

Long Yuxue smiled and took a seat once again. Her beautiful eyes were splendidly sparkling.

Once upon a time, he had been a soldier under her command! She remembered thinking about how good-looking he was the first time she met him. It had only been a few years since and he was already standing the at pinnacle of the soul masters’ world. Long Yuxue was beside herself with excitement when she watched Tang Wulin severely injure Qiangu Dongfeng in the video recording.

As a soldier, her military education and upbringing made her worship one’s capability the most. Tang Wulin was the perfect candidate in her heart. As a result, though Jia Wuyue was outstanding, she could never let him into her heart when she compared him to Tang Wulin.

She was well aware that the disparity between herself and Tang Wulin was actually growing wider and wider thanks to his constant elevation, but she would never look back regardless. It was an ineffable sentiment.

Tang Wulin continued to discuss some details with the numerous powerhouses from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy before he ended the meeting.

The group returned to their rooms to rest. Tang Wulin considered for a moment before he called out to Long Yeyue at last.

“Elder Long, I shall invite Elder Chen to come over and live with us. The Life Subtree has absorbed adequate energy by now. The thick life source here is beneficial for him,” said Tang Wulin to Long Yeyue softly.

Long Yeyue hesitated for a moment. She took a glance at Tang Wulin and nodded gently. “Don’t say that it was my idea.”

“Alright.” Tang Wulin could not help laughing in his heart, but his expression was entirely serious.

Long Yeyue left in a rush. Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head. He hoped that Elder Long and Elder Chen could reconcile during this great war with the abyssal plane.

Only Long Yuxue that remained in the room. “General, are there any other orders for me?”

Tang Wulin chuckled and said, “You can address me by my name. There’s no need to call me general. In reality, I haven’t been a general for a long time.”

Long Yuxue chuckled as well. “You look like you’ve lost some weight.”

Tang Wulin lowered his head to look at himself. “Not really. Your mind is playing tricks on you.”

Long Yuxue took a deep glance at him. “Maybe. How are you?”

Tang Wulin said, “I had been doing rather well before the abyssal creatures appeared. The situation this time is different from the abyssal tide in the past. Frankly, I feel that our army is being a little too optimistic about this war. This is the best opportunity for both the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane. It’s a chance that they can’t miss. Under such circumstances, they are going to spare no effort in this. We still don’t know how powerful the abyssal plane’s overall capability is at this point.”

Long Yuxue suddenly said, “You are carrying way too many responsibilities. When are you going to let yourself take a break?”

Tang Wulin said smilingly, “Not really! I don’t feel tired. Perhaps, this is my sense of achievement. I’m doing rather well. Don’t worry.”

Long Yuxue heaved a sigh. “No, you’re not okay. How can I not recognize when you’re unwell after being acquainted with you for so long? Everytime you’re not doing anything, your eyes turn grim, like an empty void. It’s as if you’ve already sealed your heart so you don’t feel pain anymore, but is that really good for you? Do you even know what happiness is anymore? Perhaps, if you open up a a little, the world will give you a window in return.”

Tang Wulin’s body shook. He had never expected that Long Yuxue’s observation of him was so meticulous. Yes, it was true that he had already sealed his heart for a long time.
