At the same time.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy.

Another meeting centered around Leng Hanyuan was underway.

"He has arrived."

"That Mystic Phoenix Douluo has come to Shrek City."

Yun Ming slowly opened his eyes.

When the four words "Mystic Phoenix Douluo" were mentioned, the calm and indifferent expression on his face had completely vanished, replaced by a touch of gravity.

That mysterious quasi-god from the Phoenix Family had forced them to treat him with the utmost seriousness.

Leng Hanyuan had never intended to conceal his tracks.

Therefore, the moment he stepped into Shrek City, Yun Ming had sensed his aura.

Mentioning the Mystic Phoenix Douluo made the other members of the Sea God Pavilion feel uneasy.

After all, he was the only person in so many years who had managed to make them suffer such a significant loss.

"What is that guy here for?"

Long Yeyue frowned.

"Unclear."

Yun Ming shook his head.

"However, he has no intention of hiding his tracks, so he shouldn't be coming for us."

He analyzed.

"I have already sent people to keep an eye on his whereabouts."

As soon as Yun Ming finished speaking, the Communication Soul Device placed on the table suddenly vibrated twice with a hum.

Yun Ming picked up the Communication Soul Device and took a look.

The next moment, his expression shifted.

"What is it? Has a message come through?"

Long Yeyue asked aloud.

"Yes."

Yun Ming nodded slightly.

"He went to the Nightfall Tavern."

"Hmm?"

Long Yeyue and the other Sea God Pavilion elders all let out a surprised sound upon hearing this.

Feng Wuyu was even more puzzled as he asked:

"What does that mean?"

"After coming to Shrek City, why did the Mystic Phoenix Douluo go to a tavern?"

"Did he travel thousands of miles just to have a drink?"

He scratched his hair, unable to fathom the reason.

"I am afraid not."

Yun Ming shook his head.

"Yuanen Yehui of the Titan Family is working at the Nightfall Tavern, and that Mystic Phoenix Douluo went there to find her."

"That little girl from the Titan Family?"

Long Yeyue murmured, then seemed to recall something.

"Is she the successor of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul?"

Back then, Shrek Academy had helped the Titan Family resolve the threat of the Gate of Hell.

As one of the highest-ranking members of Shrek Academy, Long Yeyue was naturally aware of this matter.

Therefore, she also knew that Yuanen Yehui was a possessor of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

"Correct."

Yun Ming confirmed her thought.

"Yuanen Yehui's identity is special, and the Fallen Angel Martial Soul is inherently a massive hidden danger."

"However, given that she also possesses the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, it is possible that she can restrain the influence of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, so I originally intended to observe her for a period of time before making a decision."

"I just didn't expect that the Mystic Phoenix Douluo would somehow learn of Yuanen Yehui's information and take the initiative to seek her out."

Yun Ming's plan for Yuanen Yehui was simple.

Originally, according to the characteristics of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul and the style of their Shrek Academy, they would certainly have nipped it in the bud.

However, they were hindered by the formidable strength of the Titan Family.

Furthermore, Yuanen Yehui herself possessed exceptional talent.

She was the wielder of twin top-tier Martial Souls.

If she could suppress the influence of her Fallen Angel Martial Soul, she would undoubtedly grow into another peerless powerhouse.

Once she joined Shrek Academy, she would surely be of great assistance to the academy in the future.

That was why Yun Ming and the others had never intended to take action against Yuanen Yehui.

Instead, they planned to continue observing her; unless her development spiraled beyond their control, they preferred to win Yuanen Yehui over to Shrek Academy's side.

After all, doing so would not only secure a future top-tier powerhouse.

It might even allow them to bring the entire Titan Family into their fold.

One had to remember that although the Titan Family was a reclusive clan, their strength could not be underestimated.

A single demigod-level powerhouse was enough to stir up significant turmoil across the continent.

Yet, Yun Ming had not expected that Leng Hanyuan would somehow learn of Yuanen Yehui's information.

He did not believe that Leng Hanyuan seeking out Yuanen Yehui was merely a coincidence.

It was highly probable that he had discovered the special nature of her condition.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to travel thousands of miles to Shrek City to find her.

However, the events of the past were known only to the Titan Family and the high-level officials of Shrek Academy who had participated in that battle.

Why would Leng Hanyuan have learned of this matter?

Yun Ming's gaze swept imperceptibly over the Sea God Pavilion elders present.

The matter had been known only to the Titan Family and their own Shrek Academy leadership.

The Titan Family lived in seclusion year-round, uninvolved in worldly affairs, and the Phoenix Family had no room to insert a mole.

Thus, Yun Ming had begun to suspect whether a mole from the Spirit Transmission Pagoda had appeared within the Sea God Pavilion.

However, Yun Ming hid his thoughts well.

They did not show on his face.

Long Yeyue was unaware of what Yun Ming was thinking at that moment.

Her attention was entirely focused on the fact that Leng Hanyuan had sought out Yuanen Yehui.

Because of the defeat in the battle between Yun Ming and Leng Hanyuan that had been broadcast live across the entire continent, Shrek Academy had been in a state of chaos during this period.

Consequently, Long Yeyue naturally held no goodwill toward Leng Hanyuan.

She had already formed a preconceived notion that his intentions were surely malicious.

"What does that Mystic Phoenix Douluo want?"

"It is unclear."

"But we cannot ignore it."

A dark light flickered in Yun Ming's eyes.

"The Fallen Angel Martial Soul is far too special."

"It is a key from another plane."

"The matter is of great importance; we must probe his purpose."

"I will go."

Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

She volunteered herself.

"Sister Yali, let us go instead!"

Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu said.

Leng Hanyuan was too dangerous, and they were not at ease letting Ya Li make contact.

"Ya Li, this..."

Yun Ming was also somewhat hesitant.

However...

"There is no need to say more, Brother Ming. I am the most suitable person to make contact with that Mystic Phoenix Douluo."

Ya Li smiled gently.

She naturally had her own considerations.

It was not appropriate for Yun Ming to meet with Leng Hanyuan.

The impact of that sparring match had not yet faded.

If those with ulterior motives discovered that the two of them were meeting, they might use it to stir up more trouble.

In that case, all the effort Shrek Academy had put into suppressing public opinion over these past few days would go to waste.

Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu simply lacked the necessary status.

Strictly speaking, they were not qualified to engage in dialogue with Leng Hanyuan.

Although they were Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and seen as high-ranking figures in the eyes of outsiders, they were truly not qualified enough for someone of Leng Hanyuan's level.

In terms of status, Long Yeyue was qualified.

However, given her personality, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't cause some unpleasant incident if she were sent to deal with Leng Hanyuan.

Therefore, the most suitable person was none other than the Holy Spirit Douluo, Ya Li.

Whether in terms of temperament or status, she was undoubtedly the one who best met the requirements.

Yun Ming opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he held his tongue.

He nodded in agreement.

"Then I will have to trouble you to make this trip, Ya Li."
