Everyone Fought Their Own Battle, the Formation in Shambles
To be honest, when Shen Yichen saw Du Busi's name in the group chat, he felt a little ashamed.
It was like...
Talking about someone behind their back and getting caught red-handed.
But...
After Du Busi sent a message full of choice words, things took a different turn.
I can feel ashamed on my own, but nobody else gets to curse me for it!
That little bit of shame vanished in an instant...
"Little one, don't use dirty words." Zhang Lexuan gently pinched Shen Yichen's cheeks.
Shen Yichen mumbled, "I knaw..."
Not using dirty words didn't mean he couldn't attack.
I've got plenty of ways to curse someone without using a single dirty word!
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Body Sect Master, doesn't your Body Sect preach that everyone with a Body Martial Soul is one big family?]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Doesn't Huo Yuhao have a Body Martial Soul? Or is that principle your Body Sect preaches just a load of crap?]
Shen Yichen knew without even thinking that Du Busi had to be furious right now.
But his attack wasn't over yet.
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Oh, Huo Yun'er, did you see that? Your sect master doesn't want you anymore~]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Only a sect master is good in this world; a child without a sect master is like a blade of grass~]
Body Sect
In Huo Yun'er's room, Huo Yun'er didn't dare say a single word.
What could she say? How could she say it?
She hadn't expected that, only a few days after she arrived at the Body Sect, the sect master would obtain a Diary Copy!
In her plans, Yuhao would first build a good relationship with the sect master over the next few years. Ideally, Yuhao would become the sect master's disciple.
Once they were close, she would take the initiative to tell the sect master the truth.
Then, not only would she have earned the sect master's favor, but Yuhao would also have the Body Sect's support, making his path of resistance against the Sea God a little easier.
Now look what had happened. Everything was a tangled mess.
She didn't dare speak now, and she really was afraid that Du Busi would fly into a rage and throw her and Yuhao out of the sect.
[Du Busi: Shut up! Would I be afraid of a mere Sea God Tang San?!]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Exactly! At worst, you can set yourself off like a firework, spray his face with blood, and disgust him to death!]
[Du Busi: Hmph! If Tang San had the ability to interfere in the lower realm, he wouldn't be plotting everywhere like a sinister little man.]
Was Du Busi really not afraid?
Naturally, he was scared to death.
But things had come to this, and being afraid wouldn't solve anything.
Whether he liked it or not, he had taken a stand against Tang San. He was even on the front line of the path of resistance against Tang San!
[Du Busi: I'll take Yuhao in. I'd like to see whether Tang San dares to make a move against the Body Sect!]
He had to put on a tough front.
As soon as he was done talking tough, he arranged for several disciples to take copies of the Body Secret Art, conceal their identities, and flee in different directions.
[Soul Engineer: Nobody has it easy, nobody has it easy. Your Majesty, please try to understand the Great Sage too.]
Grass—a kind of plant! He was talking about him, not you, wasn't he?!
Du Busi had said he would attack Shrek, but in truth, he had only been probing.
Judging by the few remarks in the Comment Section earlier, he could be fairly certain that Little Noble most likely came from Shrek.
Soul Engineer was definitely from the Sun Moon Empire.
Huo Yun'er had been completely exposed.
That left only Great Sage Equal to Heaven. He seemed more like someone from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, but which kingdom was he from?
With that, their positions were clear.
Though Great Sage Equal to Heaven was no decent person, a rational analysis showed that he was actually the most suitable ally.
Soul Engineer was definitely an enemy. Tang San was no good, and the people of the Sun Moon Empire couldn't be much better.
As for Little Noble...
Du Busi was so angry his teeth ached. Shrek was like a hedgehog: as long as Little Noble refused to state his position, he remained as immovable as a mountain, and no one could be sure which side he was on.
He could even... switch sides at any moment.
"Shrek produces nothing but sinister schemers!"
After cursing under his breath, a sense of urgency followed him like a shadow. The death omen star was hanging over his head; who wouldn't panic?
[Du Busi: You should all understand that Sea God Tang San is a disgrace to mankind. An Otherworldly Demon is trying to destroy our world. We should join forces and resist the Sea God!]
[Huo Yun'er: The sect master is right!]
Huo Yun'er no longer concealed her identity. Anyone with a working brain could see who she was, so there was no point hiding it.
All you know how to say is right! Right! Right!
Du Busi cursed and grumbled. If not for this woman, the Body Sect wouldn't be facing such a great calamity!
Of course, he only cursed and grumbled in his heart.
Huo Yuhao was only a six-year-old child. What did he know? Huo Yun'er was only a mother seeking a way for her child to survive...
What could he say?
He could only stew in his own anger...
[Black Dragon: This Sea God really is no decent person!]
Beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian chimed in too.
But Di Tian wouldn't use his real name online like Du Busi.
It was just that... Di Tian was evidently not as clever as a human, and had picked a nickname that gave him away.
As soon as the nickname Black Dragon appeared, only two people came to Shen Yichen's mind. One was Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Saint Dragon, who was as famous as his own master. The other was Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
To tell them apart, he only had to see whether the man cared about Soul Beasts.
Or even... he didn't need to see whether the man cared about Soul Beasts at all.
Since he had spoken up to say the Sea God was no decent person, he definitely wasn't Long Xiaoyao!
Di Tian still didn't know that his identity had been exposed after just one message, and was still feeling pleased with his own cleverness...
[Little Noble: Regarding the Sea God, my assessment is... those who know, know, and those who understand, understand. That's just how things are...]
Following Shen Yichen's instructions, Zhang Lexuan talked around the subject, making sure nothing stuck to her.
[Little Nobody: Leaving the clash between the Sea God and the Plane Consciousness aside for now, I want to know: can you really get rewards for posting comments?]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Yes! My physical condition improved this time!]
The others hurried to take a look at the Current Affairs Review section.
A single comment sat there all alone.
(PS: To distinguish group chat messages from comments in the Comment Section, "[]" will be used for group chat messages from now on, and "{}" for comments in the Comment Section.)
{Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Soul Engineers really are trash. Soul Tools should just serve as toys for amusement...}
[Soul Engineer: Great Sage, I think your comment is somewhat biased...]
{Soul Engineer: I think Soul Engineers are still very useful.}
Soon, the others checked in and posted comments one after another.
{Little Nobody: 111}
{Huo Yun'er: I don't understand Soul Engineers.}
{Black Dragon: Aren't Soul Tools just toys?}
{Little Noble: Checking in.}
{Du Busi: Well said. Spending the prime of one's life studying Soul Tools is putting the cart before the horse!}
Although everyone had posted, the discussion in the Comment Section was no longer as lively as before.
The old readers had all thought it over: comments in the Comment Section couldn't be deleted. They could say whatever they wanted in the group chat, but they had better hold back in the Comment Section.
[Du Busi: If I comment in an earlier Comment Section, can I still be issued a reward for it?]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Give it a try. I don't think so. If it really worked, wouldn't those of us who got there first have no advantage at all?]
