Several months later—
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong arrived at Elder Mu's place. As always, Elder Mu still enjoyed acting as the dormitory manager downstairs.
"Hm? What brings you two here?" Elder Mu opened his eyes, sat up, and asked with a smile.
"Teacher, we're going to seek revenge for the Sect Master—Teacher Xiao Ya. After destroying the Ironblood Sect, we'll officially relocate the Tang Sect's headquarters to Shrek City. Once that's done, Wutong and I are planning to visit a special place. There should be a fortunate opportunity there."
Su Yunlin briefly explained their upcoming plans.
"Oh?" Elder Mu nodded. "Understood. Do you need someone to accompany you?"
"We might need someone for the trip to Heaven Dou City. After that, Wutong and I plan to act on our own. That place isn't easy to enter, but for us, it shouldn't be too difficult," Su Yunlin replied honestly.
"I see." Elder Mu nodded. "Go then. Remember—your own safety always comes first."
"Understood."
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong respectfully bowed before turning to leave.
Watching the two departing figures, Elder Mu smiled.
"It looks like I'll have to keep hanging on a little longer."
"Perhaps I'll even live long enough to witness the birth of a new god."
...
"Yunlin, why didn't Teacher ask anything? I prepared an entire speech in my head." Tang Wutong looked troubled.
Su Yunlin chuckled.
"Do you really think Teacher can't see that we're different?"
"You think someone just handed him the title of Ultimate Douluo? Right in front of him, I absorbed a God-bestowed Spirit Ring as my sixth Spirit Ring."
"You don't actually think Teacher is some muddled old man, do you?"
"With his cultivation, he definitely noticed the differences surrounding us. He can see through other people's destinies, yet he can't see through ours. He's already reached the pinnacle of Spirit Masters—beyond that is the realm of gods."
"He has definitely guessed that we have divine favor behind us. Shrek Academy produced gods ten thousand years ago."
"Gods are real."
Su Yunlin smiled faintly.
Elder Mu was simply that kind of person.
He only cared about your cultivation progress.
As for opportunities, inheritances, and hidden secrets, he never asked.
As long as Su Yunlin stood on Shrek Academy's side, that was enough for him.
Tang Wutong puffed out her cheeks.
"You saying it like that makes me sound really dumb."
"But Teacher really is wonderful. When we go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time, we absolutely have to find an immortal herb that can heal him."
Su Yunlin nodded.
"Mhm. Definitely."
...
Shrek Academy, main gate.
The rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters, along with Tang Ya, had already been waiting there for quite some time.
"They're here." Bei Bei was the first to spot Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong.
"Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and Sect Master."
Su Yunlin nodded toward everyone in greeting.
"Little Yunlin, what did Elder Mu say?" Tang Ya asked anxiously.
Su Yunlin smiled.
"Of course he agreed. The elder accompanying us this time will be my father."
"Also, Huo Yuhao sent back information not long ago. The evil Spirit Master organization is called the Holy Ghost Church, and its headquarters is likely within the Sun Moon Empire."
"We still need to be careful on this trip."
"Everyone noticed it during recent Supervisor missions too, right? Sightings of evil Spirit Masters are becoming more frequent."
"Mhm."
Everyone nodded.
During their recent Supervisor missions, traces of evil Spirit Masters had appeared in one form or another.
However, these evil Spirit Masters operated extremely cautiously and remained well hidden. At most, they had only managed to eliminate some disposable pawns who knew nothing.
Su Yunlin looked toward Tang Ya.
"This trip is for your revenge."
"On the path of cultivation, one's heart and thoughts must remain clear. Once you eliminate those truly responsible and avenge your parents, that will be enough."
"Don't create needless slaughter."
"And don't use your talent to scare people."
Tang Ya nodded.
After several years of focused cultivation on Sea God Island, her heart had become extraordinarily resilient.
Now, she was finally able to control her own talent.
"Let's go!"
Su Yunlin and the others immediately set off.
Each of them equipped a flying soul tool and began their journey toward Heaven Dou City.
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong could have flown using their Martial Souls, but there was no need for that. Their Martial Souls were far too eye-catching, so using flying soul tools was the better option.
This trip was accompanied by Su Jinming.
Although his Spirit Power was only Rank 95, people often forgot that he was also a Class 9 Soul Engineer. He possessed a Class 9 natal soul tool and a three-word battle armor.
His overall strength was no weaker than Elder Xuan's.
More importantly—Father Su was reliable.
Su Yunlin had specifically chosen his father for this mission. His mother still needed to take care of little Yun Tong, while his grandfather, Su Tianxuan, had to remain at the Sea God's Pavilion.
Only his father happened to have some free time.
At present, among the Shrek Seven Monsters, aside from Huo Yuhao who was studying away from the academy, everyone else had undergone a complete transformation compared to the Spirit Master Tournament three and a half years ago.
Su Yunlin — Rank 70, quasi-Spirit Sage.
Tang Wutong — Rank 60, quasi-Spirit Emperor.
Bei Bei — Rank 58 Assault-System Battle Spirit King.
Xu Sanshi — Rank 58 Defense-System Battle Spirit King.
Jiang Nannan — Rank 55 Agility-System Battle Spirit King.
Tang Ya — Rank 54 Control-System Battle Spirit King.
Xiao Xiao — Rank 51 Support-Control System Battle Spirit King.
Perhaps because Su Yunlin cultivated like a madman, everyone else had been forced to keep up.
Even Xiao Xiao, that little lazy puppy, didn't want to remain at the bottom and had started cultivating seriously.
Aside from Xiao Xiao, everyone else had a chance to reach the Spirit Emperor level within another year and a half.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi would most likely become mid-rank Spirit Emperors.
...
Heaven Dou City, Ironblood Sect.
Today, a group of powerful individuals had descended upon the Ironblood Sect.
They swept through the sect from top to bottom and killed Sect Master Tie Li on the spot.
Tang Ya stared at Tie Li's lifeless body before raising her head toward the sky.
Tears silently streamed down her face.
At that moment, heavy rain suddenly began to fall from the heavens.
"Father... Mother... Xiao Ya finally avenged you! Wuu..."
Perhaps because of the rain, Tang Ya completely let herself go and cried loudly.
At long last...
She had avenged her parents.
Su Yunlin looked at Tang Ya, understanding her emotions all too well.
He slowly raised his hand and watched raindrops land against his palm.
"That day... it seemed to be weather like this too..."
Tang Wutong looked over.
"Yunlin, what are you talking about?"
Su Yunlin shook his head.
"Nothing."
Tang Wutong frowned slightly.
She knew Su Yunlin carried a secret deep within his heart—something related to his family.
Several times while sleeping, he had spoken in his sleep and had even shed tears.
She had only heard fragmented bits and pieces, but piecing together those scattered words, she had reached one conclusion—
Someone had once hurt Su Yunlin's parents and caused him immense pain.
Yet his parents were still alive and well.
Tang Wutong had even secretly gone to ask Su Yunlin's mother whether Su Yunlin had been adopted.
Xu Yunyue had immediately smacked her on the forehead.
Su Yunlin was absolutely her biological son.
She had carried him for ten full months and given birth to a healthy, chubby baby boy.
Tang Wutong looked at Su Yunlin and silently thought:
Yunlin... what exactly have you gone through?
What kind of pain are you hiding inside your heart?
Tang Wutong reached over and gently held Su Yunlin's hand.
Feeling the soft warmth of her palm, Su Yunlin turned to look at her.
Tang Wutong wore a gentle smile.
"I'm here."
"I'll always be here."
"I'll stay with you forever."
Su Yunlin's heart trembled violently.
Then he firmly nodded.
"Mhm."
...
Bei Bei held Tang Ya in his arms, using his warmth to tell her that she was no longer alone.
Tang Ya sniffled for quite a while before finally calming down.
"I made everyone laugh at me." She forced out a smile. "This Sect Master embarrassed herself a little."
"Let's head back."
Jiang Nannan looked at her.
"Xiao Ya, aren't you going to look around for anything else?"
Tang Ya shook her head and once again revealed her playful smile.
"No need."
"Let's leave the Tang Sect of Heaven Dou City in the past."
"I've already found my Tang Sect."
She looked toward everyone present.
"You all are the most precious treasure of the rest of my life."
