688 – Tang Sect’s Headquarters
TL : GoldenLung
“You guys established a Sky Fighter team?” Deng Bo was stunned.
“That’s right! It’s called the 33 Sky Wings. They’re all my classmates from the Star War Experiment Class. I’m also the class leader and the team captain,” Lan Xuanyu said.
Deng Bo was silent for a moment before saying, “Wait for me, I’ll go ask.” With that, he hung up.
Lan Xuanyu rubbed his nose. “He seems to be holding a grudge!”
Bai Xiuxiu stood beside him. “How could he not hold a grudge? Have you forgotten how you treated him?”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Do you think the Tang Sect will help us? I’m afraid we won’t be able to accept this team mission if we don’t have the help of a major power. The main reason is that we don’t have enough resources. We can only participate in individual missions, but there are too few individual missions like the one on Proto Dragon Planet. A mission like Proto Dragon Planet will not be open to us after completing it once.”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “I think the Tang Sect will agree. After all, the Tang Sect has a good relationship with our Shrek Academy and they should know about our potential.”
Not long after, Deng Bo’s communication came back.
“Captain, how is it ?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Deng Bo said, “Our leader wants to see you. Come to the Tang Sect.”
Lan Xuanyu: “Alright, now?”
Deng Bo said, “Right now, the leader is here. Do you know how to get to the Tang Sect?”
“I know. I’ll contact you when I get there.”
Lan Xuanyu turned to look at Bai Xiuxiu and said, “The Tang Sect wants me to make a trip there. There should be a chance, but I think they will make some requests.”
“I’ll go with you,” Bai Xiuxiu said.
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go together.”
He returned to his classmates who were still thinking about which wing they would be. “Alright, stop arguing. Go back and rest first. I will inform everyone once the mission is confirmed. Keep your communication device on.”
“I’m Eighth Wing!”
“It’s me who will be the Eighth Wing. Get lost!”
“Me!”
“Me!”
Ding Zhuohan and Bing Tianliang were still fighting over there, and Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but pat his forehead. ‘How childish is that! Is it that important which wing? En, I am the First Wing anyway.’
“Why don’t the two of you fight and whoever wins will be the Eighth Wing.”
“Alright!” Bing Tianliang replied.
“No.” Ding Zhuohan.
Ding Zhuohan was definitely not Bing Tianliang’s opponent. He was a control-type soul master and was at a disadvantage against Bing Tianliang’s assault and agility attacks. But in terms of overall strength, he was not weaker than Bing Tianliang.
After leaving the mission center, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu drove straight to the Tang Sect.
Other than Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect headquarters was the largest building by the Sea God Lake. They had been in the academy for so many years and naturally knew each other. It was just that they had never really been to the Tang Sect.
From afar, the Tang Sect’s grand entrance was already in sight. The car was stopped at the main entrance. Lan Xuanyu contacted Deng Bo and very soon, Deng Bo walked out. After confirming their identities, he drove the car into the Tang Sect.
Upon entering the Tang Sect, the first thing that came into view was a gigantic statue.
It was a stone sculpture of a handsome young man wielding a golden trident and his long hair draped behind him.
The statue was over 20 meters tall and the Tang Sect building behind it was semi-circle shaped as if it was his background.
Lan Xuanyu, who was familiar with the history of the Tang Sect, naturally knew that this statue was the founder of the Tang Sect 30,000 years ago, Tang San, who later became the Sea God. It was a legendary almighty.
The Tang Sect secret arts were all created by him. In his era, whether it was the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy, they were all legends that he had left behind.
There was also a legend that said that the Shrek Seven Monsters of that generation had all become gods. It was also the period with the highest number of gods in history.
But the only thing that could be verified was that Tang San had indeed become a god. There were many different opinions as to whether his companions had become gods.
But no matter what, in the history of the Tang Sect, there was no one that could compare to him.
Under Deng Bo’s guidance, the car stopped at the side of the parking lot. Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu got out of the car and followed Deng Bo into the Tang Sect headquarters.
Deng Bo looked at him from time to time. Deng Bo hadn’t changed much in the past few years, but Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had changed quite a bit. They had grown up, Lan Xuanyu was more handsome and taller, and Bai Xiuxiu was even more beautiful. Although they still had the childishness of youth, their eyes were more determined.
There was no doubt that these two were proud sons and daughters of the heavens. Deng Bo also knew that students like Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu would definitely enter Shrek Academy’s Inner Court in the future. And which Inner Court disciple of Shrek wouldn’t become a big shot in the future?
Hence, although he still bore a grudge for what happened back then, he no longer viewed them as enemies.
“Captain, can you reveal the Tang Sect’s attitude?” Lan Xuanyu probed.
Deng Bo glanced at him and said, “You can discuss this with the leader. I feel that the leader is quite interested. Our Tang Sect has invested quite a bit in your Shrek’s Sky Fighter battle team. Actually, their bias for you is no different from your academy’s investment. It’s just another way of expressing it. Shrek and the Tang Sect are one and the same.”
“I understand.” Lan Xuanyu immediately calmed down. Although Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were both academies and sects, they were very close to one another.
In fact, it was impossible for the academy to keep students forever unless they stayed in school to teach. Then, where did Shrek Academy’s graduates go? Especially the Inner Court graduates.
Other than those who stayed in school, it seemed like most of them had entered the Tang Sect and not the other factions. There were also a few who chose to join the military or other factions, but there were very few.
Just like the elites groomed by the Spirit Academy, all of them would join the Spirit Pagoda.
It was also because of this that Lan Xuanyu thought of seeking help from the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect headquarters building was simple and unadorned, and it was basically made of stone. This was completely different from the modern buildings that were mostly made of metal. Inside the sturdy building, there were carvings on the stone walls everywhere. These were all real antiques with at least a few thousand years of history. The Tang Sect had done a great job protecting these.
On the huge dome of the headquarters, there were many colorful pictures. With just a glance, Lan Xuanyu knew what kind of story these drawings were about.
10,000 years ago, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult. The Shrek Seven Monsters of that generation rebuilt the academy and revitalized the Tang Sect. This period of history was very famous in the modern world. The Sea God Lake of that time was blown up. The current Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were also rebuilt at that time.
In that era, the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion Master was the same person. It was the Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin that was commemorated by the sculpture in Shrek Square.
Deng Bo didn’t give them time to admire these ancient relics. He led them to a passage in the hall and up the stairs.
There was no elevator here, only the most traditional stairs. They went up two flights of stairs and arrived at a guest room.
The floor was covered with a simple and unadorned carpet. The guest room wasn’t big and only had six single-seater sofas that formed an arc. There was a small table between the sofas.
Deng Bo said, “You guys seat first, I will report to the leader.” With that, he left.
Lan Xuanyu looked around and silently sensed the energy fluctuations and auras here. Those stone walls seemed to naturally block everything and his spiritual power was unable to sense too far away.
From this headquarters building, one could feel the deep foundation of the Tang Sect. There was no doubt that this was only a small part of the Tang Sect on the surface. One had to know that the Tang Sect was the head of the Federation’s soul technology. All the simple and unadorned designs here were just to commemorate history.
Not long after, the door opened and Deng Bo walked in with someone.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu quickly stood up, and when they saw who it was, they were shocked.
