Xie An flew straight toward the red Mecha.
The red Mecha noticed him at the same time and came to a steady stop a hundred meters away.
The cockpit opened, and Zhen Hua and Mu Ye stepped out.
"Little Red, thanks for your hard work. You can go back now."
Mu Ye patted the red Mecha and spoke gently.
"Yes, Master."
A gentle female voice came from inside the Mecha.
The red Mecha disappeared. Mu Ye nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze passed over Xie An and landed, seemingly casually, on Eastsea Academy.
He seemed to have sensed something, but seeing Zhen Hua beside him, he ultimately stayed put.
Xie An saw all of this. A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Zhen Hua, what brings you here? And won't you introduce me to your companion and this red Mecha?"
Zhen Hua glanced at Mu Ye. After seeing him nod in agreement, he came forward as well.
"I had no choice but to come. The War God Temple Master has made such a big move, and I wanted to see it for myself."
"As for this gentleman, he's my personal chef, Mu Ye."
Xie An smiled but didn't call Zhen Hua out.
"There's no point standing around out here. Let's head inside the academy and talk."
The three of them entered the Eastsea Academy conference room together.
Neither Mu Ye nor Zhen Hua noticed the Blood-Colored Small Sword quietly slipping into Eastsea Academy behind them.
After the Blood-Colored Small Sword entered, a person emerged from the shadows.
"Hmph. What a joke—the War God Temple Master is nothing special."
"He didn't even notice my concealment technique. This so-called Limit Douluo is a complete pushover."
The Evil Soul Master, who was using the alias Ning Fengzhi, muttered from the shadows.
For a moment, he even considered going straight to assassinate Zhen Hua.
If he succeeded, he would surely make a name for himself.
He might even be able to stand alongside his master, Dark Hummingbird, and become the fourth Dark Heavenly King.
But after a few minutes of getting carried away with the idea, he decided to put it aside.
There was no helping it. Dark Hummingbird had ordered him to gather intelligence and find out what the War God Temple Master was up to.
Besides, he wasn't a hundred percent certain he could escape after attempting an assassination right beside a Limit Douluo.
"Hmm? What's that smell? It's so good."
Ning Fengzhi suddenly picked up a powerful bloodline aura. Following it, he searched step by step for its source.
Inside the conference room, every move the Evil Soul Master made was clearly visible to Xie An's Spiritual Power.
The moment the Evil Soul Master showed even the slightest intent to harm a student or teacher, Xie An would strike like lightning and kill him.
The Evil Soul Master had only just broken through to the Super Douluo level.
To Xie An, he was simply fast. There was nothing else remarkable about him.
But when he saw that the Evil Soul Master seemed drawn to Tang Wulin's bloodline aura, he relaxed.
Perhaps he could use this Evil Soul Master to squeeze a good deal out of Mu Ye, the Body Sect Master.
That would give his students a better chance of winning.
Xie An split his attention between watching the Evil Soul Master and speaking with the two men seated before him.
"All right, Brother Zhen Hua. There were too many people around outside. You can tell me the truth now, can't you?"
"The Tang Sect put out the word, but none of the people who should have come showed up."
"You, who shouldn't have come, were the first to visit me. I can't believe you have no ulterior motive."
"And if I'm not mistaken, you have a Level 94 Titled Douluo with a red Mecha working as your chef."
"Brother Zhen Hua, you really went all out!"
Xie An showered Zhen Hua with a string of compliments.
Zhen Hua glanced at Mu Ye beside him. Seeing that he had nothing to say, Zhen Hua had no choice but to speak for himself.
"Actually, I came here for a student."
"Oh? Which student?"
Xie An asked, feigning ignorance.
"Why pretend, Temple Master? I mean the young man who was fortunate enough to receive your cultivation method."
Zhen Hua didn't beat around the bush. He got straight to the point.
"Also, based on what I observed earlier, that young man named Tang Wulin has an abundance of vitality."
"My friend here happens to have conducted extensive research on the human body."
"Perhaps he could offer the boy, Tang Wulin, an opportunity as well."
Xie An understood why the two had come and was about to reply with a smile.
Suddenly, his expression changed. An incredibly powerful surge of Soul Power burst from within him, pinning the two men in their seats.
The World-Breaking Spear crossed through the void and shot into the distance.
The two men, held fast by his Soul Power, looked alarmed, but quickly regained their composure.
Several minutes earlier.
The Evil Soul Master wielding a Blood-Colored Longsword had already reached Tang Wulin's room.
Looking at Tang Wulin meditating, greed flickered in the Evil Soul Master's eyes.
He could sense an incredibly powerful bloodline in the young man.
If he devoured him, his strength might even rise another level.
With that thought, the Evil Soul Master didn't hesitate. The Blood-Colored Longsword flew straight toward Tang Wulin.
Just as the Blood-Colored Longsword was about to touch Tang Wulin, a Golden Trident suddenly appeared on his forehead, and an invisible barrier blocked the sword.
"Impossible!"
The Evil Soul Master was horrified. How could an ordinary Soul Master who hadn't even reached Soul Elder stop his attack?
The Evil Soul Master tried to escape, only to discover that his body had been immobilized.
When he looked at the young man again, Tang Wulin's eyes had turned purple without him noticing.
A noble, oceanic purple energy enveloped Tang Wulin.
A translucent Golden Trident appeared in his hand.
Golden rings appeared one after another along the trident.
They immediately encircled the Evil Soul Master.
"You have already earned your death."
The boy spoke in a steady voice that didn't belong to someone his age.
The Evil Soul Master was horrified. He tried to break free and escape, but found that he couldn't move at all.
He couldn't even use his Three-Word Battle Armor.
A sense of impending death slowly enveloped him.
The consciousness occupying Tang Wulin's body had intended to kill the Evil Soul Master with the Golden Trident, but his hand stopped just as it was about to rise.
The World-Breaking Spear came tearing through the void from the sky and pierced straight through the Evil Soul Master's head.
The purple vanished from Tang Wulin's eyes, and his gaze cleared.
The last thing Tang Wulin saw before passing out was the Evil Soul Master who had tried to attack him, pierced through and killed.
The next moment, the War God Temple Master appeared beside him.
When Tang Wulin saw the War God Temple Master, his strength suddenly gave out. A wave of heavy fatigue washed over him, and he fainted in Xie An's arms.
Xie An's expression darkened. First, he sent away the others who had heard the commotion and come running.
Then, with a pull of Soul Power, he brought Zhen Hua and Mu Ye to his side out of thin air.
"I hope the two of you can give me an explanation."
"God Craftsman Zhen Hua, and Mu Ye, the current Body Sect Master."
Holding the unconscious Tang Wulin, Xie An pointed at the Evil Soul Master lying dead on the ground and spoke in a cold voice.
Zhen Hua had already understood what had happened. His face was just as pale.
"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
