In Xiao Xiao's mory, Wang Dong had always vehently rejected soul tools.
Aside from Tang San's replicas, Wang Dong had never been able to use other soul tools.
"Was Wang Dong lying to this whole ti?" Xiao Xiao felt a mont of doubt.
However, she quickly dismissed the thought. She trusted Wang Dong there was no reason for her to lie.
But if even soone like Wang Dong, who despised soul tools, was willing to use a flying soul tool, then whatever was happening must be incredibly urgent.
"For Wang Dong to leave in such a rush, even using a flying soul tool… she must be dealing with sothing serious.
"No, I have to find soone to help her.
"She told before that she's the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
"What could be so urgent that even soone of her status is acting like this?"
With that thought, Xiao Xiao imdiately decided to seek help.
Because of her remarkable talent, Xiao Xiao had beco Yan Shaozhe's personal disciple.
Originally, in the canon tiline, she was ntored by Xuan Zi, but due to the butterfly effect with the Death God ssenger proving far more capable than before Mu En felt that Xuan Zi wasn't suited to teaching students.
So, he arranged for Yan Shaozhe to take Xiao Xiao as his apprentice instead.
Sea God Lake
Yan Shaozhe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing over the tranquil waters, letting the cool breeze ease his troubled mind.
As Ma Xiaotao's teacher, he had been deeply distressed lately.
Her Evil Fire problem was worsening.
Frankly, Yan Shaozhe hated seeing Ma Xiaotao suffer, but there was nothing he could do.
Even Ling Luochen was unable to help suppress the Evil Fire.
To Yan Shaozhe, the best solution would be to find soone with an Ultimate Ice martial soul to help her keep it under control.
Truthfully, if relations between soul beasts and soul masters weren't so tense, he might have gone to the Extre North to request help from the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
After all, they all possessed Ultimate Ice, which was the perfect counter to Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire.
"Sigh… Why does everyone's martial soul have issues?
"Xuan Lao constantly has to eat because of his martial soul… and now Xiaotao is tornted by this Evil Fire."
Yan Shaozhe sighed in frustration.
Suddenly, he noticed Xiao Xiao approaching flying toward him with a soul tool.
The mont Xiao Xiao saw him, she imdiately landed at his side and quickly explained Wang Dong's strange behavior.
Yan Shaozhe's face darkened. "Xiao Xiao, you did well to tell this imdiately.
"We need to track Wang Dong down and find out what's going on.
"Do you know where she was headed?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head. "Teacher, she didn't tell ."
Yan Shaozhe sighed. **"Then we'll just have to track her down ourselves.
"With her strength, she couldn't have gotten too far yet.
"If she's in trouble, as an Academy Dean, it's my responsibility to help her."**
Wang Dong was the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
If sothing happened to her while she was at Shrek Academy, it would be a huge issue.
If the Clear Sky Sect ca demanding answers, even Shrek Academy would have trouble handling the situation.
Although the sect had been in seclusion for years, it was still the number one clan with a Tool Spirit martial soul.
Even Shrek had to show them respect, given their shared history through Tang San.
With that, Yan Shaozhe took Xiao Xiao and imdiately set off to pursue Wang Dong.
Star Dou Forest
Di Qiu'er led Huo Yuhao in search of the Golden Tortoise.
For soone like Di Qiu'er, finding it was no challenge at all.
However, the first few they encountered didn't et Huo Yuhao's requirents.
So, they continued searching.
After so ti, the two arrived at a secluded pond.
Di Qiu'er sensed a soul beast deep within the water, one with a strong presence of fortune.
It was hiding.
"Hmm… This soul beast has exceptionally strong fortune… and it's camouflaging itself.
"If I hadn't been watching closely, I might have missed it.
"Strange… I never noticed this beast before.
"With this level of fortune, it should be under Di Tian's protection."
She turned to Huo Yuhao and pointed at the pond.
"There's a highly fortunate Golden Tortoise hiding at the bottom.
"But I can't make it co out, so it's up to you to figure out a way."
Since they were deep in Star Dou Forest, she refused to use her power over fate unless absolutely necessary.
If she did, Di Tian and the others would notice imdiately.
That would an her little "escapade" would be exposed.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "That's easy."
He imdiately emitted the aura of the Ice Empress, concentrating it above the pond.
Of course, he could have expanded it further, but that wasn't necessary.
His only goal was to flush out the Golden Tortoise and make it relinquish its Life Gold.
Monts later, a shadow shot up from the water, sending waves splashing outward.
Now, the creature finally ca into view.
A brilliantly golden tortoise with its head retracted into its shell.
It looked visibly terrified.
When it saw Huo Yuhao, still radiating the Ice Empress's aura, it finally spoke with difficulty.
"Mighty Beast Lord… What do you require of ?"
For the Golden Tortoise, its first thought was: I'm dood.
Many years ago, it had secretly sneaked into the Lake of Life while Di Tian was unaware.
There, it had stolen a small bite of Life Gold.
Then, before Di Tian could catch it, it ran for its life.
For years, it had lived in fear, always dreading the day it would be discovered.
Now, its worst fear had co true.
"So… I couldn't hide it forever after all."
The Golden Tortoise felt despair sinking in.
Huo Yuhao waved it over.
"Golden Tortoise, co here. I have so business with you."
The creature hesitated.
Then, gritting its taphorical teeth, it flew forward.
Even though it was actually a 100,000 year old soul beast, there was no way it could resist a 'Beast Lord'.
At least, it was certain that it wouldn't be killed.
After all, it still had so asure of fate's protection.
