Immediately, Tang Wulin and the others handed over unrelated items from their storage soul tools to Yun Ming...
Yun Ming gave them a deep look, "Well then, good luck to you all!"
He then left with the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion...
Leaving the group standing around, staring at each other, unsure of what to do...
Xie Xie couldn't help but complain, "They're even taking away the federation coins? That's too strict."
Wherever you go, money is very important. Without it, you might starve halfway!
Ye Xinglan pursed her thin lips, whispering, "Yes, but it also shows that this army's location doesn't seem too far from us!"
Tang Wulin nodded, "I think so too, but thankfully, the Pavilion Master left everyone with battle armor and forging materials!"
As long as these things are here, there's no need to worry about financial issues!
After all, he is a level 6 blacksmith! Selling one finished product casually could earn a substantial income!
Yue Zhengyu stretched lazily, leisurely saying, "What should we do now? Should we head directly towards the location of the Gold Path on the map?"
Next to him, Xu Xiaoyan sighed helplessly, "It seems we have no other choice, but who knows what terrifying things await us over there."
Even now, Feng Wu Yu's earlier attitude still leaves her unsettled!
Yuanen Yehui glanced at them expressionlessly and said flatly, "Instead of discussing this, it'd be better if we set off quickly. We still don't know if there's a time limit to reaching the destination!"
At this moment, Gu Yue couldn't hold back and said, "Um, everyone, I'm sorry, but I can't go with you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned...
Xie Xie displeasingly said, "Gu Yue, what do you mean by this? Are you leaving again?"
Xu Xiaoyan reminded, "Gu Yue, this military service can significantly improve your strength. If you don't go, you'll regret it!"
Yue Zhengyu echoed, "Yeah, the Pavilion Master said earlier that if you escape, you'd be deemed a deserter and expelled from Shrek Academy. Don't you worry?"
Yuanen Yehui coldly interjected, "Unless there's something urgent, I suggest participating together!"
Gu Yue showed an apologetic expression, "I've already spoken to the Pavilion Master in advance, and he has approved it!"
Tang Wulin bit his lip and stared into her beautiful eyes, "Gu Yue, can't you reconsider? This time, everyone is going, and without you, it won't be complete!"
Gu Yue pressed her lips together without speaking...
But he knew she's already made up her mind; no amount of persuasion would work!
He could only use a tone of reluctance, "Since you aren't willing, then wait for me to return!!"
Gu Yue smiled, "Alright, you must also be careful over there, and the same goes for everyone!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, glancing at the others, "It's getting late, let's set off, everyone!"
Though he was reluctant to leave Gu Yue behind, he couldn't delay everyone because of himself!
After nodding, everyone quickly left Shrek's inner court...
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind her, "Why didn't you go with Tang Wulin and the others?"
Gu Yue was startled, "Teacher Xu, you're still here..."
Earlier, she hadn't sensed his presence!
Xu Sheng calmly said, "Yes, if there's something troubling you, feel free to tell me..."
Gu Yue instinctively wanted to deny it, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she still spoke, "Teacher Xu, actually, a few months ago, Spirit Pagoda sent someone to negotiate with me."
Xu Sheng was surprised, "Oh? What was the purpose?"
Gu Yue's expression grew more solemn, "They seem to plan to train me as the next Spirit Pagoda's master!"
...
Only to see this lieutenant speak softly, "You've made the correct choice, because causing trouble within the Northern Sea Base, according to rules, even executing you here would be normal!"
When the lieutenant said this, there was no hint of joking on his face!
This also means that if Tang Wulin and the others dare to resist, he has all sorts of reasons to command the surrounding soldiers to attack!
This made Xie Xie, already unwilling, grit his teeth and say, "Hmph, I heard that most of the high-level officers in the Northsea Legion are former students of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy. Now it seems true!"
Xu Xiaoyan showed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder they're targeting us; with the relationship between Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy and Shrek Academy, that makes sense."
Ye Xinglan frowned, "I really don't understand why the Academy would report our whereabouts to the Northern Sea Base; isn't this harming us?"
Yue Zhengyu said seriously, "According to this lieutenant, they're planning to detain us in the Northern Sea Base for fifteen days. If we really stay that long, the mission to the island will likely fail!"
Tang Wulin whispered, "Everyone, don't worry; we'll figure out a way to leave later!"
This lieutenant glanced at them, his deep eyes clearly seeing through everything...
"If you're thinking about how to escape afterward, I think it's meaningless, because today's soul technology can do more than just suppress Soul Power—it can even suppress the spirit!!"
Then, he clapped his hands, "Come, to prevent Shrek Academy's people from causing trouble in the coming days, put a spiritual confinement helmet on them. Though wearing it means they can't even eat, since they're soul masters, starving for ten days or so shouldn't kill them."
These words made the other Northern Sea Base soldiers look at Tang Wulin and the others with eyes full of pity!
With soul suppressing handcuffs and spiritual confinement helmets, they're giving Shrek Academy no chance at all!
Then, they took out helmets and walked towards Tang Wulin and the others...
Tang Wulin's face finally changed, "This is illegal! Does being inside the Northern Sea Base allow you to act recklessly against people?"
Xu Lizhi clenched his fists, "That's right. If you really do this, once we leave, we'll definitely report the Northern Sea Base!"
Xie Xie shouted angrily, "You're not real soldiers, actually doing something this despicable!"
These soul suppressing handcuffs prevent them from using any Soul Power. The spiritual confinement helmets probably won't feel good either!
This lieutenant just sneered, "Sorry, you're not guests of the Northern Sea Base now, but external intruders! Put them on!!"
In the next second, these soldiers unhesitatingly placed the helmets on everyone's heads...
An extreme numbness spread from the top of their heads, directly paralyzing the brain's central nervous system, causing everyone to have their vision go black and collapse onto the ground...
At this point, the lieutenant instructed again, "Lock them all in the solitary confinement room, and conduct a search of the Northern Sea Base. If there are accomplices, be sure to root them out!"
"And double the number of soldiers responsible for guarding them. We absolutely cannot let them leave the solitary confinement room!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers replied in unison, "Yes, Lieutenant!"
