The Legend of the Dragon King Chapter 1243 - Qiangu Zhangting

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The man capable of blasting the Darkness Bell apart was indeed the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng.

If Tang Wulin had been there, he would certainly have understood why Gu Yuena made him leave so soon.

Grandfather, why did you let her go? She was already severely injured. I can certainly take her out if I were to go after her, said the white-attired youth a little eagerly.

Qiangu Dongfeng frowned. Zhangting, youre a man over thirty years old. Why are you still so short-tempered? Is the Holy Spirit Cult that easy to handle? How can you confirm that there are no other Holy Spirit Cult powerhouses nearby? The Holy Spirit Cults grotesque abilities emerge from an endless stream. You might sink into one if youre not careful. A gentleman never stands under a dangerous wall. Who are you? Could it be that the only thing youre capable of is fighting against these filthy people hiding in the shadows?

Slightly embarrassed, Qiangu Zhangting lowered his head upon listening to Qiangu Dongfengs words. Grandfather is right to teach me this lesson. Fortunately, Na Na recognized those two people from the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, wed still be in the dark.

Qiangu Dongfeng glanced at Gu Yuena. He sounded much gentler with her. Are you injured, Naer?

Gu Yuena shook her head. Her sound wave attack is very powerful and very ghastly. Fortunately, Zhangting was here. I cant fight against her alone.

Qiangu Zhangtings spirit was lifted upon hearing praise from his lover. He could not prevent himself from speaking, Only because she runs fast, humph!

Qiangu Dongfeng said, There must be a reason why the Holy Spirit Cults best suddenly appeared in Heaven Dou City. I think that its best for all of you not to head to Skysea City yet. After revealing yourselves to the Holy Spirit Cults assassins in such a manner, Im afraid that theyll try to harm you. Why dont you head back to headquarters first?

Qiangu Zhangting turned his head to the side and looked at Gu Yuena. He saw that Gu Yuena nodded before he smiled and consented. He wished that he could skip Skysea City so badly. The Spirit Pagodas headquarters was supposed to be his territory and he would have more opportunities by spending time with Gu Yuena every day!

From the first time he met Gu Yuena, he, who spent all his days cultivating since young, had fallen in love with this gorgeous yet somewhat cold maiden. Gu Yuena was not only beautiful, but her natural talents were extraordinary. Even picky Qiangu Dongfeng favored her, and she was also the deputy Pagoda Master, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhus disciple. She was extremely compatible with him, whether it was her abilities, identity or appearance. She was truly the best companion he could have in life.

Gu Yuena seemed to be inadvertently taking a glance in the direction that Tang Wulin had departed before she followed Qiangu Dongfeng and Qiangu Zhangting as they left the train station.

Tang Wulin was so swift, it had only taken a few flaps of his wings before he had already exited the train station.

Ever since the terrorist attack in Heaven Dou City, security was strictly enforced. He dared not slow down even after leaving the train station. The Darkness Bell had her otherworldly means of coming after him, so he would never give the opponent a chance to do so.

Even so, Heaven Dou City was indeed the Tang Sects territory!

Tang Wulin utterly had no need to see with his eyes. It had only taken him just over ten seconds to find one of the Tang Sects secret doors. He quickly entered the elevator and descended underground.

He did not believe that the Darkness Bell was still capable of following his trail when he was deep underground! Moreover, there were elite guards defending Tang Sects underground lair! In fact, if the Darkness Bell entered this place, things would probably work out in their favor.

As Tang Wulin descended in the elevator, he was not thinking about the danger he had faced earlier but about the scene where he saw Gu Yuena.

She was still as beautiful as ever. When he saw the strange expression on Gu Yuenas face, he could already sense what she was about to do.

It felt like their hearts were connected. There was utterly no need for them to converse in words. It was sufficient for them to feel everything that they wished to do.

Gu Yuenas smartest move was that she did not attack the Darkness Bell directly but struck Tang Wulin instead so that Na Nali became confused.

Had Gu Yuena attacked her immediately, Na Nali very possibly might have first tried to restrain Tang Wulin.

Instead, Gu Yuenas choice of attacking resulted in at least one additional thought process in Na Nalis mind. Additionally, the succession of attacks was actually meant to entangle the Darkness Bell, so she could create an opportunity for Tang Wulin to flee.

There was no doubt that white-attired youth was supposed to be one of the Spirit Pagodas most powerful. Gu Yuena could not reveal her relationship with Tang Wulin to him yet. Under so many constantly changing circumstances, Gu Yuenas had already achieved meticulous control over the entire situation.

She had managed to avoid being suspected by the white-attired youth while also helping Tang Wulin get out from that difficult situation.

Despite this, Tang Wulins heart felt uneasy seeing her with the white-attired youth and that young man appeared to be quite obviously pursuing her.

Just as the Darkness Bell had mentioned, he was confronting his rival in love!!

Love rival. Tang Wulin could not help feeling jealous and bitter upon thinking about these two words. Gu Yue, why arent you explaining things to me? What actually happened to you and Naer?!

Ding! The elevator arrived. Soon after the door opened, Tang Wulin felt relieved because he knew that he was already safe.

It was fortunate that he changed upon Gu Yuena. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to break free from the fight at the time.

He raised his hand subconsciously and touched the silver dragon scale pendant hanging around his neck. Tang Wulin suddenly thought of how strange it was for her to go Skysea City on this day. Could it be that she sensed his presence there? Otherwise, this felt a little too coincidental, right? Also, could it be that it was a coincidence for him to meet her at the train station?

Tang Wulin grabbed the pendant. It had warmed from his body heat. The temperature radiated into his palm as he felt a peculiar sensation.

All of a sudden, something dawned on him.

Every time he was in danger, she would always appear before him. Why was that? Was that just a coincidence? It was apparent that this was not the case. She managed to come to his aid at just the right time all the time, so she must have been able to sense when he was in danger, right?

He remembered. Back when Shrek Academy was bombarded by Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition, Gu Yuena came at just the right moment to shield him from the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition. Without her, he would have probably died.

On the other hand, when he was up against the abyssal Sage Kings final blow in the abyssal passage, it was she that transmitted herself to him in a split second and performed the Dragon God Transformation to defeat the Sage King.

The latest encounter felt like the least dangerous scenario when compared to the previous ones.

In the first incident, she even ended up with amnesia after enduring the blast. She had then faced danger beyond imagination in that second situation.

Then, there was this days occurrence to add to the list.

Tang Wulin suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a ferocious slap, making a crisp clap upon impact.

She had done so many things for him and she had been willing to risk her life to protect him all along. How dare he come up with an excuse to doubt her? How dare he overthink the situation?

Why should I care about the so-called love rival? Her heart belongs to me. Whether she acknowledges that or not, whether she and I end up together or not, her actions are proof! On the other hand, Im still making blind conjectures here foolishly. Im simply too dumb to be cured.

His Golden Dragon Kings body gave him a strong physique, but slapping himself earlier was still rather painful. Tang Wulin could not keep from laughing. Why did I have to slap so hard? Thats my face after all! But I guess I really deserved it.

It was as if his mood was suddenly illuminated by the bright sun and he felt more at ease.

Wulin, why have you returned? What are you doing here? It was an icy cold voice, sounding a little out of sorts.

Tang Wulin raised his head. Was that not Wu Zhangkong standing before him?

Wu Zhangkong was attired in his usual white garments as always. Tang Wulin immediately called out in surprise, Teacher Wu, youre back.

Hmm. Wu Zhangkong nodded before he asked in a strange manner, Arent you supposed to be in Skysea City?

Tang Wulin replied, Ive come back to attend to something. Are Wu Siduo and the rest of the students doing alright on the Demon Island?

Wu Zhangkongs expression suddenly turned odd upon hearing the mention of Wu Siduo. Huh? They should be fine, I suppose.

Tang Wulin could not help feeling odd when he heard the words should be fine. The actual experience he had during the special training on the Demon Island had almost made him doubt his entire life. He thought about how his state of mind was still quite steady. He was worried that Wu Siduo and the rest...

The seniors learned about the situation in Shrek Academy and expressed their wish to take in even more students for special training there. Ill be bringing over a batch of students in another two days.

Tang Wulin asked in surprise, The seniors... are the seniors doing fine?

Wu Zhangkongs eyes dimmed. Had they been capable of leaving the Demon Island so easily, they would have returned here with me. The academys situation fills them with pain. Its apparently not a good thing for them. They sacrificed themselves, living lonely lives on the Demon Island, for the academy. What happened to them is actually quite pitiful. They were filled with a deep hatred and resentment upon learning about the academys destruction. Then...

At this point, Wu Zhangkong raised his head and glanced at Tang Wulin.

Then what? asked Tang Wulin curiously.
