East Sea F3 Gather, Xu Xiaoyan's Longing

Le Zhengyue did not feel much of anything regarding this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

After all, given his current influence, coupled with the suppressive nature of his Dragon God Martial Soul, entering this place posed no significant challenge to him.

Of course, he did not release his Dragon God Martial Soul immediately upon arrival.

He first used his perception to briefly assess the area, confirming there was no surveillance or any specialized monitoring in place, before finally raising his hand.

As his Martial Soul appeared, a small banner, pure yellow in its entirety, floated in the air, radiating a magnificent and majestic purple aura.

This was indeed the Human Emperor Banner, though it was a version capable of transformation.

According to Le Zhengyue's deductions, his Human Emperor Banner Martial Soul should be able to manifest in two aspects.

The first aspect was the Human Emperor Banner in its solid black form; this stage primarily focused on ghosts and vengeful spirits, providing a terrifying boost to spiritual power and offering a potent enhancement for entities like specters and wraiths.

The second state was this pure yellow Human Emperor Banner, which primarily targeted the physical body, capable of increasing the physical defensive strength of undead creatures.

This amplification might seem ordinary at first glance, but it was quite considerable upon closer inspection.

As Le Zhengyue raised his palm, the magnificent heavenly might condensed upon the Human Emperor Banner, and a terrifying creature roughly ten meters in length appeared.

This creature consisted entirely of bone, with a layer of dark white skeletal structure covering its body, and ghostly blue flames flickered wantonly within its eye sockets.

Looking at this first spirit soul of his, the Bone Dragon, Le Zhengyue's expression remained unchanged.

He took two steps forward, tapped his toes against the ground, and leaped up, landing directly on the Bone Dragon's back.

Although this Bone Dragon was currently only a common hundred-year spirit soul, its body length had already reached about ten meters.

With its wings spread, it looked like a terrifying monster capable of blotting out the sky.

As its massive bony wings flapped lightly, the Bone Dragon's body leaped up with ease, moving forward at an extremely rapid speed.

Looking down from above, Le Zhengyue could see many creatures appearing, all of whom gazed at the Bone Dragon in terror.

Le Zhengyue showed no mercy.

Under his mental command, the Bone Dragon opened its maw, ghostly blue flames condensed within its throat, and were then sprayed outward.

These flames lacked destructive power against physical bodies, but they possessed a devastating effect on souls, or rather, on creatures that possessed intelligence and spirits.

As the ghostly blue flames washed over them, a hundred-year spirit beast was killed instantly, followed by a series of shrill screams.

Listening to the miserable wails of these spirit beasts, Le Zhengyue's expression remained unmoved.

He sat there quietly, allowing the surrounding Soul Power to continuously surge into his body.

Relying on this Bone Dragon, even if Le Zhengyue did not make a single move himself, there was no creature in the entire Primary Spirit Ascension Platform capable of posing a threat to him.

And as each creature was slain, the Soul Power within his body grew steadily.

In the evening, at the Yue Family manor.

Le Zhengyue returned to his room and, just as he sat down, noticed the letters placed on the table.

Looking at these letters, Le Zhengyue paused for a moment, then raised his hand and used his communicator to call Jiang Nannan over.

Looking at Jiang Nannan, who was dressed in white pajamas and wore a bewildered expression, Le Zhengyue stared at her and pointed to the letters.

"Who delivered these letters? And why were you the one to receive them?"

"Do you not know that no matter who sends a letter, they should be made to coordinate with me personally, rather than having you accept them on my behalf?"

Le Zhengyue's gaze fixed on Jiang Nannan; his tone was cold, causing her expression to turn flustered.

She did not seem to understand Le Zhengyue's perspective.

In her mind, they were just letters, and the people who brought them had been very polite to her.

That was why she had accepted them, never expecting it would anger Le Zhengyue.

"These letters were delivered by experts from the family, who said they were for you, from Eastsea City."

Jiang Nannan said, keeping her head low, her face showing a hint of grievance.

After all, in her view, this was nothing, and there was nothing special about these letters.

Furthermore, she hadn't even looked at them, and she didn't understand why Le Zhengyue would be angry.

However, seeing her like this, Le Zhengyue fell silent and did not continue.

He understood that he was being a bit too sensitive, but if Tang Wulin and the others discovered these letters, it might not be a good thing.

As for whether the Angel Guards like Song Wen were truly reliable, Le Zhengyue did not know, or rather, his level of trust in these Angel Guards was not high.

If he hadn't confirmed that every one of these people had consumed those medicinal pills and that their bodies contained his own soul imprint, Le Zhengyue would never have let them leave.

He glanced at Jiang Nannan, said nothing more, and instead sat there, opening the letters on his own.

The message inside was simple: Song Wen and the others had successfully gone undercover, and the identities they chose were clever, keeping them from getting too close to Tang Wulin.

Aside from a few who went to apply as teachers at Eastsea Academy, the others had simply settled down in Aolai City without getting too close to Tang Wulin.

But through their contacts, they had learned one piece of information.

That was that Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan had already made contact, and the three of them had already gone to find Wu Zhangkong.

They did not know exactly what was said, but the three of them had already established contact, and they could even confirm that they shared memories of one another.

Looking at this letter, Le Zhengyue was not surprised that the three had established contact; or rather, in his view, it was inevitable.

It was hard to say for the others, but aside from Gu Yue, the other three members of the Eastsea F4 were all in Eastsea City.

There was nothing surprising about the three of them running into each other or even making contact.

However, what concerned Le Zhengyue was the information that followed: according to what they had overheard, Xu Xiaoyan had the intention of returning to the Yue Family to find Le Zhengyu.

Clearly, although Le Zhengyu had been somewhat reckless or even lecherous in the early stages, he had performed quite well later on, or perhaps Xu Xiaoyan had been deceived, as she held a great deal of affection for him.

Ultimately, however, this plan did not succeed, as it was eventually discouraged by Wu Zhangkong.

After all, they could not be one hundred percent certain that Le Zhengyu was at home, and the location of the Southern Legion was remote enough that the matter was delayed.

But this served as a reminder to Le Zhengyue that he needed to be on guard against these people as well.

He wanted to scheme against Le Zhengyue and prevent him from meeting Tang Wulin, but if this matter continued to drag on, it would not lead to anything good.

Although he could keep things stable for now, in a few years, once they went to Eastsea Academy or as the pace of events accelerated in the future, the day they met would come sooner or later.

Therefore, he had to find a way to nip it in the bud, or at least ensure that Le Zhengyu would not get the idea to go looking for Xu Xiaoyan.

Although Le Zhengyu currently had no desire to find Xu Xiaoyan, if he were to lose his mind one day and make that decision, the danger it would bring if he could not stop it would be immense.
