Long Yeyue: Is Tang Sect Trying to Rebel?!

Just as Na'er was about to turn around and return to her seat, the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal in her palm suddenly flew out of her hand without warning.

The blue streak of light was incredibly fast, leaving a clear trail of light in the air as it swept precisely in one direction.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden flash of blue light, and they all looked in the direction of its trajectory.

Then they saw the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal fly towards Tang Wulin's direction and settle firmly in the center of his brow.

In that instant, blue light burst forth from the crystal, spreading out like a miniature ocean across Tang Wulin's forehead.

The light wasn't dazzling; in an instant, the crystal silently disappeared into his body.

There was a moment of silence in the reception room.

All eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin, their expressions varied.

Tang Wulin sat there frozen as if he had been struck by a spell, fully aware of what had just happened.

Old Tang took over his body in that instant. He remained conscious throughout the entire process, witnessing everything that happened, yet he was powerless to change anything.

At this moment, feeling that the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal had completely merged with him, Tang Wulin finally regained control of his body.

He slowly exhaled, raised his eyes, and looked at the gazes cast upon him from all around. He opened his mouth, but found that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

How can this be explained?

To say that all of this was "Old Tang's " doing, that the mysterious being in his mind forcibly controlled his body and stole the crystal?

If I said that, probably no one would believe me.

But if we don't say it that way, then everything that just happened can only be understood as his own doing.

He took the initiative to steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal, and the treasured artifact that Long Yeyue had personally entrusted to Na'er.

Tang Wulin's fist, resting on his lap, slowly clenched and unclenched, then unclenched again.

His lips moved slightly, but ultimately no sound came out.

"Tang Wulin, what have you done?!"

A gasp broke the brief silence in the reception room; the speaker was none other than Long Yeyue.

Her voice was much louder than before, with a sharp quality that seemed to spring from sudden shock.

At this moment, her aged face was wrinkled, her brows were furrowed, and a clear, undisguised anger flashed in her eyes.

She personally entrusted the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal to Na'er, essentially passing on the hopes of the Shrek Academy's millennia-long legacy.

In the blink of an eye, the crystal flew away from Na'er's hand and merged into Tang Wulin's body.

In Long Yeyue's eyes, this was tantamount to someone blatantly taking away the hope she had entrusted to them.

Although Tang Wulin was a student of the Shrek Academy and his talent and strength were quite good among his peers, in Long Yeyue's heart, he naturally did not compare to Na'er.

Na'er is Yun Ming's only Personal Disciple, while Tang Wulin is ultimately just a disciple from the Outer Court.

Faced with Long Yeyue's fiery gaze, Tang Wulin opened his mouth, stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

He didn't even dare to look Long Yeyue in the eye, and could only lower his eyes to look at his fingertips on his knees, looking like he had something to hide.

Seeing this, Long Yeyue's anger intensified.

Her face seemed to contort with rage as she gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal is the academy's most prized treasure. If you dare to forcibly take it, even if I kill you right here, no one can say anything!"

These words carried immense weight; when the word "suppress and kill" was squeezed out from between her teeth, it was clear that she was truly enraged.

Tang Wulin felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Old Tang had helped him a few times before, which made him feel a sense of closeness and trust towards this mysterious figure.

This time, however, Old Tang's actions completely disregarded his wishes and did not even consider the consequences he would face.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense it was about to explode, Zang Xin finally spoke.

"Elder Long, please don't get angry."

"Just now, there was no fluctuation in Wulin's Soul Power, and that crystal seemed to have flown there on its own. Perhaps Wulin is the one recognized by the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal?"

It is a fact that Tang Wulin did not have any Soul Power fluctuations, Long Yeyue, as Limit Douluo, could naturally detect this.

But Tang Wulin's guilty conscience made Long Yeyue feel that there must be something fishy going on.

If it truly has nothing to do with him, why can't he even offer a single explanation?

Zang Xin's silence only made things worse; his earlier defense of Tang Wulin, in the already tense atmosphere, acted like a piece of kindling that stirred up a flame.

After experiencing the destruction of the Shrek Academy, Long Yeyue, who was already emotionally sensitive, became even more abnormal, to the point that one could even say she had some paranoia, always feeling that everyone was going to harm Shrek.

She abruptly turned her head to glance at Zang Xin, her tone low and cold. "Don't think I don't know, Tang Wulin is now your disciple!"

That's right. After leaving Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin stayed in the Tang Sect and has now been officially accepted as a disciple by the Douluo of Emotion Zang Xin.

Long Yeyue snorted coldly again, "What? Is the Tang Sect now going to step in and seize Shrek's territory?"

The moment those words were spoken, Zang Xin's expression changed drastically.

He truly hadn't expected that Long Yeyue would say such a thing.

For tens of thousands of years, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have been closely linked, supporting each other through countless storms. Even now, during Shrek Academy's most difficult period, the Tang Sect has never harbored any covetous intentions.

Zang Xin's expression darkened, and his tone became serious. "Elder Long, that's going too far. Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have always supported each other."

But Long Yeyue remained unmoved, a cold smile appearing on her aged face, "Mutual support? Isn't strength still paramount on the continent? Doesn't it all come down to weighing the pros and cons?"

Her voice rose higher and higher, her emotions pouring out like a burst dam. "When Yun Ming was here, who dared to disrespect Shrek Academy?"

"But what about now? Yun Ming is gone, Shrek Academy is destroyed, and all sorts of monsters and demons have jumped out, each wanting a piece of the pie!"

As she said this, her gaze fell heavily on Zang Xin: "Ten thousand years ago, when the Tang Sect declined, it was only with the support of Shrek that it was able to rebuild."

"Over the years, the Tang Sect has seemingly developed independently, but don't you know how much it actually depends on Shrek? I think the Tang Sect has other ideas now, doesn't it?"

Although her words were sharp, they were not entirely without basis.

Between the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Shrek has indeed always held a more dominant position.

For example, students from the Shrek Academy are also qualified to enter the Tang Sect's secret realm, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Therefore, in Long Yeyue's eyes, the current situation of Shrek's destruction and Tang Sect's survival is like a scale about to be flipped.

She felt that the Tang Sect was trying to take advantage of Shrek's weakness to rise to power and become the leader.
