"Eh?"
The burly middle-aged man arrived in an instant.
Gu Yuena naturally stepped in front of Tang Feng and Tang Ya, shielding them behind her.
Although the man before them possessed Soul Power as high as Rank 98 and even carried the aura of a god,
Gu Yuena did not take him seriously at all. He was still just a minor nobody she could suppress with a wave of her hand.
"Kid, did you beat these two?"
Tai Tan could clearly see that Netherworld Douluo and Nether Thunder Douluo were both terrified of Tang Feng.
They were Titled Douluo, yet they were huddled together for warmth like injured children.
"So what if I did? So what if I didn't?"
Tang Feng frowned slightly.
Based on Gu Yuena's description of his strength and the man's appearance, he roughly guessed that this was Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape.
But had Gu Yuena failed to notice that this man was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest Ten Thousand Years Ago?
Or had the Titan Giant Ape washed away all traces of its mortal aura after becoming a divine beast?
"You're quite the thorny one, kid!"
"No wonder Xiao Dong said the Sea God Pavilion was hunting you down and asked us to come save you."
Rather than getting angry, Tai Tan found Tang Feng rather distinctive.
Tang Feng had drawn the pursuit of the Sea God Pavilion, yet remained safe and sound, while casually suppressing two Titled Douluo-level Evil Spirit Masters along the way.
No matter how one looked at it, Tang Feng truly was the person they had been told to keep a close eye on.
"So you're a senior from the Clear Sky Sect!"
Tang Feng cupped his hands in greeting.
Since the other man had mentioned Wang Dong, Tang Feng simply revealed his identity as well.
Other than Wang Dong,
only Tang San and Xiao Wu in the heavens could likely command Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
"Tang Feng, are you all right?!"
Before Tai Tan could reply,
Niu Tian arrived with Wang Dong.
The anxious look on Wang Dong's face showed that he was genuinely worried.
"I'm fine. Why are you here?"
Tang Feng nodded.
As he studied Niu Tian and Tai Tan, the two of them were also studying him.
Moreover, they were deeply wary of Gu Yuena. This woman seemed to have merged with heaven and earth.
If they could not see her with their eyes, they would not have sensed Gu Yuena's presence at all.
Tai Tan had rushed over so urgently earlier precisely because he had not sensed Gu Yuena. He had only discovered Tang Feng and Tang Ya "fleeing."
"I heard at Shrek Academy that a group from the Sea God Pavilion was hunting you down."
"Big Dad and Second Dad happened to be arriving, so I asked them to come save you."
Wang Dong carefully looked Tang Feng over from head to toe.
Only after confirming that Tang Feng was unharmed did he finally let out a breath of relief. Thankfully, Tang Feng was blessed with good fortune.
"Thanks, Wang Dong!"
Tang Feng patted Wang Dong on the shoulder.
This guy had called Niu Tian and Tai Tan to save him. At least he had a bit of a conscience.
As for Niu Tian and Tai Tan,
whether they had acted on Wang Dong's orders or Tang San's, Tang Feng had no way of knowing.
After all, this hundred-man group of Evil Spirit Masters had appeared far too strangely.
It was not impossible that Shrek had deliberately let them come so the Clear Sky Sect could rescue him.
Though the whole life-saving favor routine was clichéd, it worked remarkably well.
"Big Dad has already found out the information you asked me to write and inquire about. The day Dean Yan saved your sister, Heaven Dou City was incredibly lively."
Wang Dong had not forgotten.
This concerned Tang Feng's great vengeance, and he had always kept it in mind.
After Niu Tian and Tai Tan reached Shrek City, Wang Dong learned the answer immediately. He had simply not expected so many people to have been there that day.
"Other than this bastard and the Evil Phoenix Douluo, there were others?"
Tang Feng was stunned.
He viciously kicked Netherworld Douluo, making him howl on the ground.
"Who is he?"
Wang Dong blinked.
Two people were still kneeling in front of Tang Feng, both looking utterly miserable.
They looked as though they had been tortured for days and nights, without a shred of strength left in their bodies.
"Who else could they be? Netherworld Douluo and Nether Thunder Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult. They both came to capture my sister."
Tang Feng waved his right hand.
The two were tightly bound by vines formed from Blue Silver Grass.
From time to time, Purple Lightning flashed across the vines and crackled down onto their bodies, making them convulse.
Even though Nether Thunder Douluo possessed the lightning attribute, what he faced was lightning of Ultimate Destruction. He was still electrocuted until his flesh split open.
"You captured them?"
"As expected of you, Tang Feng. You're amazing."
Seeing the fear on their faces,
Wang Dong could guess that these two Titled Douluo had likely been captured by Tang Feng.
He simply did not know how Tang Feng had done it. This guy was shrouded in mystery.
Even the many Elders of the Sea God Pavilion had failed to capture him and bring him back to Shrek Academy.
"Xiao Dong, tell him about Heaven Dou City first."
Niu Tian reminded him.
He did not speak himself because Tang Feng might not necessarily believe Tai Tan or him.
What Tang Feng trusted was Wang Dong's answer.
Given how much they doted on Wang Dong, they certainly would not deceive him over something like this.
"Besides Netherworld Douluo and Dean Yan, several other peak experts were there that day."
"Big Dad said there were the Sea God Pavilion Master, the Body Sect Leader, two Limit Douluo, and a Rank 97 female Super Douluo."
Wang Dong found it unbelievable.
It was said that the strongest person in the Tang Sect at the time had only been a Soul King, yet it had drawn so many peak experts from various factions.
The Heaven Dou Empire had been so frightened that it did not dare show itself.
"Mu En, Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, Du Busi, and Feng Ling... They were all there."
Tang Feng's expression turned grave.
How could those three Limit Douluo have appeared in Heaven Dou City together?
And why had Yan Shaozhe been so secretive about their presence?
Yan Shaozhe's surprise at having met Feng Ling did not seem feigned, nor did Xuan Zi's.
"Little brother, I was there that day as well."
"According to the Dragon Emperor Douluo, the Death God Douluo noticed that the Dragon God Douluo had repeatedly gone to Heaven Dou City, so they followed him there."
"Then they discovered that your sister possessed the Dark Attribute and wanted to take her away."
Niu Tian had been at the scene that day.
The others simply had not discovered him. Niu Tian had seen everything.
"Di Tian said Mu En went to Heaven Dou City to see me when my martial soul awakened."
"So over the past few years, he may have visited the Tang Sect's residence many times."
Tang Feng's face darkened.
Even if this had no direct connection to Mu En, the Evil Spirit Masters must have deliberately investigated the Tang Sect because of him.
So had Mu En done it deliberately, or by accident?
"Xiao Feng, what exactly is going on?"
Tang Ya was utterly confused.
Originally, the fact that Netherworld Douluo had killed their parents had seemed quite clear.
But after investigating, they discovered that Dean Yan, who had saved her, and the Sea God Pavilion Master seemed far from innocent as well.
"I suspect Mu En may have deliberately led the Evil Spirit Masters to the Tang Sect, then specifically arranged for someone to save my sister."
"Tell me, how did you find us?"
Tang Feng stepped on Netherworld Douluo's hand.
A miniature Divine Realm rested in his palm, ready to envelop Netherworld Douluo at any moment.
"My brother and I both received the Cult Leader's orders to capture the little girl."
"He said the Sea God Pavilion was too busy dealing with its own troubles to bother with us for the time being."
Netherworld Douluo felt truly wronged. From beginning to end, he had merely been following orders.
Whether it was the operation in Heaven Dou City or this one, he had obeyed the commands from above.
