Inside the pavilion, Tang Yuehua, who had been invited there, was filled with worry.

The Clear Sky Sect had suffered heavy losses and was forced to seal itself off from the world. Tang Xiao, the Sect Master, was also in a difficult position within the Clear Sky Sect because he had personally executed two elders.

No evidence whatsoever had been found within the Clear Sky Sect regarding the Great Elder and the Sixth Elder defecting to Martial Soul Hall. There was only Tang Xiao's word, so the other elders unanimously believed that this was Tang Xiao's way of weakening the elders' faction to protect Tang Hao.

Some even suspected that Tang Xiao had colluded with Martial Soul Hall, sacrificing the two elders in exchange for Tang Hao's safety.

For the sake of the Clear Sky Sect's stability, Tang Xiao had no choice but to comply with the opinions of the elders and expel Tang Hao from the sect.

And now, due to the threat from Martial Soul Hall, the previous connection between the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect had also been severed. Although the relationship between the two would likely recover once the storm passed, with Martial Soul Hall watching like a tiger eyeing its prey, Star Luo would likely gradually distance itself from the Clear Sky Sect.

Therefore, in order to ensure the Clear Sky Sect would not be completely disconnected from the outside world during its period of seclusion, the elders had discussed the matter and decided that she would be responsible for maintaining the link between the Clear Sky Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family on the Heaven Dou Empire side.

As for how to maintain it...

"Meow?"

A beautiful, golden kitten suddenly jumped onto the table, giving Tang Yuehua, who was lost in thought, a start.

The kitten's gaze landed on the pastries in front of Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua was stunned. "You want some?"

Nan Feng nodded.

After unlocking the Horse and Dog forms, he no longer needed to eat.

Even if he never cultivated again and remained in his current state as a pathetic Level 40 Soul Ancestor, his lifespan would be virtually infinite.

However, the desire for food had nothing to do with hunger.

Tang Yuehua scanned her surroundings and, finding no one following her, hesitated for a moment before picking up a pastry from the table and feeding it to him.

Nan Feng did not stand on ceremony; he leaped up and landed in Tang Yuehua's arms.

What kind of bad intentions could a little kitten have?

He just liked soft places.

How is this cat so familiar with strangers?

Tang Yuehua was caught between laughter and tears, but she did not chase the cat away. As she fed him, even her previously troubled mood improved significantly.

"Oh, young Tang Yuehua, you..."

"Ah!"

Hearing the sound coming from the kitten, Tang Yuehua was startled and immediately tossed the cat away.

Nan Feng stabilized his body in mid-air and landed with ease.

"You... you're talking?" Tang Yuehua looked bewildered.

Cats can talk?

"Is there some rule that says cats can't talk?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

We're already in a world of metaphysics, so why make such a big fuss about this?

"Are... are you a Spirit Master?" Tang Yuehua asked, suspicious.

Although she had never heard of such a Spirit Master, the Martial Spirits on the Douluo Continent were strange and varied; no one knew if some inexplicable thing might suddenly pop up.

"Yes, and no." A flash of light swept over Nan Feng, and he returned to his original form before walking back.

A Spirit Master refers to someone who cultivates Spirit Power and has absorbed a Spirit Ring.

He hadn't absorbed a Spirit Ring, nor did he have any Spirit Skills; he merely possessed Spirit Power, so naturally, he didn't count as a true Spirit Master.

"Who are you?" Tang Yuehua's face showed wariness.

This was the back garden of Xue Ye, and apart from Xue Ye, there were no other men here.

Even princes were forbidden from setting foot in this place!

"Just a passing Messenger of Injustice." Nan Feng sat down on a stone stool.

"You look like you need help."

"I don't." Tang Yuehua's attitude was slightly cold.

Nan Feng frowned. "Are you questioning my judgment?"

"How bold!"

Nan Feng grabbed Tang Yuehua's hand. A flash of light flickered, and Tang Yuehua vanished, transformed into a small white rabbit, sitting dazed on the table.

The Monkey Talisman could turn others into small animals. For inanimate objects, the consumption was minimal, and he could play with it almost at will.

But for living beings, the stronger the opponent, the greater the consumption on his end.

Moreover, the Monkey Talisman required maintenance once activated. He had previously had Bibi Dong and Hu Liena help him test it.

The experimental results showed that for those with a Soul Power Level below his, the consumption wasn't too high; for someone like Hu Liena, a minor Spirit Master, maintaining it for an entire day was no problem.

But for those with a Soul Power Level above his, like Bibi Dong, a level 94 Title Douluo, she could drain his Spirit Power dry in just a few seconds.

Furthermore, after the transformation, Bibi Dong's strength remained completely unchanged. She could still use all of her power; aside from her body being uncoordinated, there was basically no impact.

So, this was just an entertainment ability.

It was passable as a support skill, but thinking you could use this thing to deal with anyone was pure fantasy.

Every move requires energy to maintain, and talismans are essentially just different types of magic. Shendu's Twelve Talismans were based on his own power, which is why he could use them freely. His talismans were based on his own Soul Power, so naturally, he couldn't play around with them like that.

Even the Monkey Talisman had such limitations. As for the power-type talismans—the Pig, Dragon, and Ox—one could only imagine the power of those things.

The potency of the talismans was entirely based on his own strength.

As for the Rat Talisman, he shouldn't even think about it. Even if that thing didn't have restrictions, he wouldn't dare to use it.

Things weaker than him were useless to create.

And why would things stronger than him listen to him?

If he really created something incredibly powerful, it would probably be the first to wipe him out.

"You actually dare to question me?" Nan Feng scooped up the bewildered little rabbit, Tang Yuehua.

"Remember, I said you need help, so you need help!"

"..."

Tang Yuehua, held in his arms, suddenly snapped back to reality and began to struggle violently. Unfortunately, her two rabbit legs were completely uncoordinated; she didn't even know how to kick someone.

Nan Feng held Tang Yuehua up in front of his eyes. "Little Rabbit, if you keep squirming, I won't be polite anymore."

As he spoke, Nan Feng patted the little rabbit's bottom.

Tang Yuehua froze, the entire rabbit stiffening.

"That's better." Nan Feng held Tang Yuehua and turned to walk toward Yue Guan, who was guarding the corner of the garden.

Tang Yuehua wasn't even a Spirit Master. In this little rabbit form, no matter how much she resisted subjectively, she would have to wait until his Soul Power was exhausted before she could change back.

And with his current Level 40 Soul Power, he had enough to play for three days!

"Where is Tang Yuehua?" Yue Guan asked, puzzled.

He hadn't been peeking just now.

"Right here." Nan Feng shook the little white rabbit in his arms.

Yue Guan's eye twitched violently. "Didn't the Pope tell you not to mess around with this Spirit Skill while you're outside?"

Nan Feng could not only transform himself but could also turn others into strange little animals. However, for those whose Soul Power Level far exceeded his own, as long as they had a strong will to resist and consumed their own Soul Power to counteract the effect, they could quickly return to their original form.

This ability, while it might sound useless—or even like a mere party trick—is, in the heat of battle, a nearly invincible support skill!

Even if the duration is short, as long as it is coordinated well, even a single second is enough to kill the opponent!

"Am I messing around?" Nan Feng asked, radiating righteousness.

"I am doing this to save a lost young lady!"

"Look at this: Tang Yuehua is a young woman of marriageable age, yet she went all by herself into Xue Ye's inner palace. Why?"

"Could it possibly be for some damn love? With that pathetic look on Xue Ye's face, what kind of love could he possibly have? Who would ever fall for him?"

"It's clearly that old emperor seeing the Clear Sky Sect in decline and wanting to kick them while they're down, forcing a good woman into a bad situation!"

"As the Messenger of Injustice, I must thoroughly eradicate this crooked and evil wind!"
