And so, Flender led Ma Hongjun and the students to search the vicinity for a whole day but couldn't find any trace of Yu Xiaogang; it was as if he had vanished into thin air.
Damn it!
Flender seemed very agitated. "Where did Xiao Gang go? Why did he disappear without a word?"
"Dean, my students and I have searched the entire neighborhood, but we haven't found anything," Ma Hongjun said, running up breathlessly.
Sigh~
Flender sighed. "Let everyone go back. I'll think of something else on my own."
"Yes."
Ma Hongjun nodded, turned and left.
"What should we do?"
Flender rubbed his hair in frustration. "How am I going to explain this to Erlong?"
"Boss Fu, what are you doing?"
Just then, Liu Erlong followed the sound and found Flender: "Boss Fu, have you seen Xiao Gang? I've searched everywhere in the academy but haven't found him."
"This..."
Flender hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to tell her the truth, "Erlong, don't get agitated when I tell you."
"Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang, he's gone."
Upon hearing Flender's words, Liu Erlong's smile froze instantly, "Boss Fu, you can't joke like that. Is Xiao Gang hiding again because he doesn't want to see me?"
"Erlong, you, you calm down."
Flender immediately noticed that something was wrong with Liu Erlong and quickly tried to dissuade her. "It's not your fault. This morning, Hongjun told me that Xiao Gang is missing."
I led the students to search the surrounding area, but we found no trace of them.
"Could it be that Xiao Gang has been kidnapped?"
Liu Erlong immediately thought of this terrifying hypothesis.
"No, it shouldn't be."
Flender shook his head. "At first I thought about it too, but there was no trace of it in the academy, the beds and bedding were all there perfectly fine."
"I ask you, which kidnapper would bother to make their bedding? If they linger here too long, they risk being discovered."
"Does Boss Fu mean that Xiao Gang left voluntarily?"
"Very likely."
Flender frowned. "I wonder if someone invited him out because of something important."
Who can ask him out?
After thinking for a moment, the two exclaimed in unison, "Tang San!"
At this moment, in the hidden forest, Tang Hao was carrying Yu Xiaogang in one hand, weaving through the trees towards Tang San's hiding place.
"Your His Excellency Haotian, have we not arrived yet?"
Looking at the scenery flashing by, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but ask.
"What's the rush? We're Cheng Gang halfway there; it'll be a long time before we reach our destination."
Tang Hao's tone was low and somewhat impatient. "I hope you can actually be of some use to us, otherwise I don't mind dealing with you!"
After all, it would be quite difficult to infiltrate the Northern Underworld Continent with someone like you as a burden.
"Rest assured, Your His Excellency Haotian!"
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly assured him, "With my knowledge, I'm sure I can be of use to you. Besides, Xiao San also needs my help!"
I hope so.
Since the creation of the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang's theories have been thoroughly refuted, and Tang Hao has stopped believing in him.
However, Tang San still treated him with great respect, so Tang Hao let him be, since he was just a teacher who imparted theoretical knowledge after all.
In the Soul Master World, power is everything, and the events of the Northern Underworld Empire further prove this point.
Without power, one can only be trampled underfoot by the strong.
A few days later, at the sea border of the Star Luo Empire.
"I say, why do we have to go around to the outskirts of the Star Luo Empire?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at the taxi driver on duty not far away. "Wouldn't it be more convenient to go to Heaven Dou?"
"Teacher, the sea border of Heaven Dou has been completely sealed off because the people of Northern Underworld have occupied the border. Not only the Heaven Dou Empire, but also the Spirit Hall and experts from various sects are there."
Although my father is Titled Douluo, it's impossible for him to leave quietly in front of so many people.
"I see."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, understanding their actions.
Tang Hao glanced at the other person, then stepped forward. "Let's finish this quickly and go."
"Yes, Father, let me go."
Tang San reached to his waist and pulled out several golden, rice-grain-sized objects from his hand.
With the infusion of Soul Power, the golden grains of rice instantly transformed into countless fine golden needles.
"Go to hell."
Tang San's eyes narrowed, and several Dragon Whisker Needle instantly pierced through the soldiers' armor, hitting several vital points.
The next moment, the soldiers collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound.
"Little San, your control over Soul Power is becoming increasingly proficient."
Yu Xiaogang smiled and praised, "To be able to drive Hidden Weapon with Soul Power so silently, you must have practiced for a long time."
"It's nothing."
Tang San smiled. In his previous life, he used internal energy; in this life, he used Soul Power. The paths were different, but the result was the same. He didn't have to put in much effort.
"Alright, let's go."
Tang Hao immediately stepped forward. "Taking advantage of the Star Luo Empire's current lax defenses along the coast, let's set off immediately towards the Northern Underworld Continent."
"Um."
The three immediately went to the beach, Tang Hao took out a ship-shaped Soul Tool that he had prepared in advance, which he had borrowed from somewhere.
After all, as Titled Douluo, no one would refuse to lend him something if he asked.
At this time, on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Ning Fengzhi deliberately took some time to reach the border in order to avoid an immediate conflict.
"How did things go?"
Ning Fengzhi arrived at the allied forces jointly formed by the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou.
Under pressure from the Northern Underworld Empire, even the Spirit Hall had no choice but to unite with the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Empire's forces are still on their way; currently, only the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire are present.
"Not very optimistic."
Leading the group was a general from the Heaven Dou Empire, Soul Douluo- level powerhouse, who was currently standing around the sand table with a furrowed brow.
"After the people of the Northern Underworld Empire occupied the fortress, they activated the defensive Soul Tool; we can't break through it."
"A defensive Soul Tool?"
Upon hearing that even Soul Douluo couldn't break through the defense, Ning Fengzhi immediately became interested.
What their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacks is precisely this: they can lack combat power, but they cannot lack defensive power.
"The good news is, however, that they haven't made any moves since they got hold of the fortress, as if they're waiting for something."
"I see."
Ning Fengzhi gazed at the distant fortress, seemingly deep in thought.
"This battle has truly boosted the morale of our Northern Underworld Empire's taxi service!"
Zhou Tan said happily to Bei Ming Feng, "As expected of a descendant of our ancestor, you are truly amazing."
You flatter me.
Bei Ming Feng took out the Windchaser Bird: "This is all thanks to the Progenitor's kindness; otherwise, I might have been a useless member of the family for the rest of my life."
"No, no, no, I've heard about your deeds; this is the result of your perseverance."
