Return and Peril, Di Tian Makes a Move

This trip to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters had been enormously rewarding. Besides obtaining some basic Soul Tool data, he had also purchased several Soul Tools.

There were offensive ones, defensive ones, and functional ones. He bought one of several different types of Soul Tools.

Most were relatively basic models. After all, with his current finances, he could not afford overly advanced Soul Tools.

Mecha Soul Tools were the most expensive, directly costing him over three million. As a result, he had to be more frugal when purchasing the other Soul Tools.

Even with his status as the Pagoda Master's disciple, he could not simply obtain everything for free within the Spirit Pagoda.

He still had to pay, though he could enjoy a fifty percent discount and had access to a relatively wider selection of items.

He wanted them all, but after careful consideration, he could only choose some to purchase and take away.

They had to suit both his financial means and his current strength, so there was a lot to consider.

His gains in terms of Soul Tools and other technological fields had made the trip worthwhile. The only regret was that he had failed to find a Soul Spirit suitable for himself.

Over the past few days, he had learned that the Spirit Pagoda did have some Soul Spirits with the Space Attribute.

However, when he asked for one, he was told that he could only claim one after reaching level thirty.

In other words, once he reached level thirty, they would give him a Space Attribute Soul Spirit for free. Before then, he could not have one even if he wanted it.

Shiyu could not appear too eager, either. After all, he was still some distance from level thirty. Insisting on a Soul Spirit now would easily arouse suspicion.

He could only leave reluctantly. He still had to worry about his Third Soul Ring.

The Soul Tool Car sped along the highway without incident.

Shiyu suddenly sensed something and hurriedly told the Spirit Saint to stop.

"What is it?" The Spirit Saint looked at Shiyu in the back seat with confusion.

"My parents are here to pick me up." Shiyu replied with a smile, opened the door, and got out. He gave the car one last lingering look.

If possible, he even wanted to take this car with him. It was truly a good thing.

Back in the Peerless Tang Sect Period, it would have been a cutting-edge Soul Tool. If he found a way to mass-produce it, becoming the richest man in the world would be easy.

What a pity. Shiyu sighed inwardly. He could not possibly rob this Spirit Saint.

"Where are your parents?" The Spirit Saint got out and looked around, but saw no one nearby.

"They don't wish to show themselves. They'll use Space Means to take me away. Goodbye, Senior." Shiyu walked a little farther away and waved goodbye to the Spirit Saint.

His parents were naturally fake. He had only said that because he sensed that he was about to return.

Whether he could come back or not, he would first borrow a tiger's hide to make a banner. If he could return, then his sudden disappearance today alone would be enough to make them believe that he truly had powerful parents.

The Spirit Saint's gaze sharpened as he saw a Spatial Vortex appear and envelop Shiyu, preparing to draw him in.

The Spirit Saint heightened his senses to their limit, yet he still could not detect anyone nearby.

Boom! Suddenly, a powerful Power of Space descended, seeking to imprison this entire area of space.

Shiyu's expression changed drastically. The powerful Power of Space made him feel as though he could not breathe. What level of powerhouse had made a move?

He could not help panicking. Before this power, he was as weak as an ant. If the other party wished, they could easily erase him.

Moreover, if his return was disrupted, would he be trapped in this world forever?

Though he did not have much attachment to the world of the Peerless Tang Sect Period, he did not want to be forced to remain in this world.

Who exactly is making a move? Shiyu panicked inwardly. At this moment, he could not even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The person who had acted was too powerful. The gap between their levels might have been far greater than the gap between him and an ordinary person.

The Spirit Saint also felt that suffocating power. His body remained completely motionless, not because he did not want to move, but because he simply could not.

Boom! The Spatial Power intensified, intending to shatter the Spatial Vortex that was taking Shiyu away. It even sought to trace its source and drag out the person who had created the vortex.

Boom! A fierce collision erupted. The Spatial Vortex burst forth with extraordinary power, completely destroying the incoming Spatial Power. It remained unscathed, and Shiyu was unharmed as well, protected by the Spatial Vortex.

Shiyu's body sank into the Spatial Vortex. The world spun around him as he continued spiraling through the Space-Time Tunnel.

To Shiyu, that sensation actually felt wonderful. The situation just now had been truly perilous. He had practically stepped through the Gates of Hell.

Fortunately, the Space-Time Vortex was powerful enough to protect him and allow him to escape death.

The Space-Time Vortex on this side shrank and closed, and space returned to normal.

A black-clad powerhouse appeared from the void. His body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of Fresh Blood.

"What a formidable powerhouse." The Black-Clad Middle-Aged Man wore a pained expression, his heart filled with deep apprehension.

He had never expected such a powerhouse to stand behind Shiyu. Not only had the man easily dissolved his Spatial Power, but he had also severely injured him.

The crucial point was that despite such an intense clash, he had not even seen the other party.

A powerhouse of that level was likely even stronger than himself.

"Just what is his background?" Di Tian was utterly bewildered. He should have already figured out all the human powerhouses of this era, yet he had never had the slightest impression of this one.

Without question, the other party was a Quasi-God powerhouse highly proficient in the path of space, perhaps even somewhat beyond the scope of a Quasi-God.

I hope he won't suspect my lord and me. Di Tian worried inwardly.

He had acted because this had been a good opportunity to kill Shiyu and uncover the person behind him, then kill them together.

He had acted with the intent to kill and shown no mercy. Who would have thought that the other party's strength would be so terrifying, far beyond what he could contend with?

There had been a flaw in the plan. If they learned that this was connected to his lord and himself, would their secret not be exposed to the public?

Di Tian silently left the area. From beginning to end, the Spirit Saint never knew that Di Tian had appeared.

He only knew that an ultimate powerhouse had attacked Shiyu, and that Shiyu's life or death was now unknown.

The Spirit Saint hurriedly contacted Qian Gu Dongfeng.

"What?" Qian Gu Dongfeng, who had been reading documents in his office, suddenly stood up and quickly led people to the scene.

By the time he arrived, more than an hour had passed. The location was several hundred kilometers from the Spirit Pagoda.

"What a formidable powerhouse." Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression darkened as he sensed the lingering aura at the scene.

Those energy fluctuations indicated that at least a powerhouse at the Limit Douluo Level had acted. Their strength was undeniably formidable.

"Could the two Tang Sect Masters have made a move?" Qian Gu Dongfeng could not help considering the possibility.

Yet he felt it was unlikely. Given the status and standing of those two Sect Masters, they would not personally attack a junior like Shiyu. That would be far too beneath them.

"But if it wasn't them, who could it be?" Qian Gu Dongfeng had no answer for the moment.

He only knew that Shiyu had formed a grudge with Wu Changkong at the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

Wu Changkong was not only from Shrek Academy, but also from the Tang Sect. That meant Shiyu had effectively offended both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

It was understandable for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to retaliate.

Of the two forces, the Tang Sect was more likely. According to his information, Wu Changkong still had unresolved conflicts with Shrek Academy, so it was unlikely that Shrek Academy had stepped forward for him.

"We finally discovered such a genius. He'd better not die so easily." Qian Gu Dongfeng murmured.

After searching for most of the day without finding any clues, they could only return.

"Useless." Elsewhere, Gu Yue answered Di Tian's call in the restroom of a Soul Train. Upon learning that he had failed, she angrily reprimanded him.

Di Tian could only lower his head as he was scolded. He was a Quasi-God, and without Battle Armor, he could even be considered the Number One Under Heaven.

Yet when facing Gu Yue, his lord, he still did not dare show even the slightest disrespect.
