Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 299 Tang Ziran and his wife! The Sea God Legion!

"Aunt... Aunt?"

Tang Wuling stared wide-eyed at Jialin in disbelief.

They must have mistaken me for someone else, right?
She was filled with despair, wishing she could go deaf, but her remaining rationality constantly reminded her of her own limitations.

This child knows his own name. Whose child is he?
Flax butterfly, could it be...?

"Yes! Dad has a younger sister, isn't that my aunt?"

Little Jialin blinked innocently and nibbled on her fingers.

"Could Jialin have mistaken me for someone else? The photo looks almost exactly like the one Xiaoyan's mother showed me."

The little girl's soul-searching question struck Tang Wuling's head like a heavy hammer.

Xiaoyan...Mom?
Tang Wuling felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and with a thud, she collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected and utterly hopeless.

"Hey—! What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jialin rushed forward, but Tang Wuling seemed not to hear her, only looking up at the ceiling with a look of existential doubt.

Am I really a loser?
What on earth happened in those three years?!

……

Half an hour later.

"So, Jialin was just adopted by her brother..."

Tang Wuling leaned back on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, and looked at Xu Xiaoyan next to her with a suspicious expression.

Adoption is one thing, but what's with Xiaoyan's mother?

Xiaoyan, I consider you my best friend, and you actually want to be my sister-in-law! And you did it while I wasn't around.

"Yes, that's right!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly, but under Tang Wuling's gaze, she felt inexplicably a little guilty.

I'm just trying to help you...

We sisters are of one mind; what's yours is mine, and I'd even be willing to share my husband with you! Wu Ling!

"Just come back!"

Another relieved voice rang out. Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wuling, and a smile finally appeared on his tired face.

Tang Wuling has returned safely!
This is ultimately good news for Shrek Academy, which has undergone tremendous changes, and it can boost morale.

"Teacher Wu! Teacher Shen!"

Tang Wuling nodded slightly to the two of them.

Fortunately, apart from His Holy Spirit and my brother, all my familiar teachers and classmates were safe and sound.

"Ok!"

Wu Changkong nodded with a smile.

These past few days have been filled with great changes at Shrek Academy. He and his students have been busy with various tasks to finally settle down here.

Of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, all except Zhuoshi, who was previously sent to the Tang Sect, have either perished or disappeared.

It's fair to say that Shrek Academy now only has a handful of members left, a far cry from its former glory.

"It's just that Xie Xie and the others left a few days ago, otherwise you might have been able to see them..."

Shen Yi sighed, looking somewhat haggard.

The Tang Clan was willing to provide them with a place to stay, but ultimately they were living under someone else's roof.

At Zang Xin's suggestion, Shrek decided to go into hiding for the time being, allowing the children to grow up before rebuilding Shrek.

Xie Xie and the others have already gone out to train, only Xu Xiaoyan and the other support soul masters are still here.

"No news from your brother, Ms. Shen?"

Tang Wuling looked at Shen Yi and asked softly.

More than half a month has passed since the attack. If my brother hadn't been captured by the Holy Spirit Cult, he would definitely have contacted the Tang Cult.

"Not yet! However, Sect Master Zang is already searching with all his might."

Shen Yi shook his head, his face full of complicated emotions.

In particular, Jiang Yi's kiss before parting kept her awake at night, unable to distinguish whether it was regret or something else.

What does it mean?
Junior brother, don't make me guess for the rest of my life!
"He'll be alright!"

Xu Xiaoyan gently held Tang Wuling's hand and softly comforted her.

The Tang Clan has already proven that Jiang Yi is still alive, so with his abilities, he will definitely reappear in the future.

Even if Wu Ling could return safely after being missing for three years, Jiang Yi can certainly do it too.

"Okay! Thank you, Xiaoyan." Tang Wuling forced a smile and nodded to Xu Xiaoyan.

She is no longer the little girl who could only cry. No matter what, she will find her brother.

If my brother is gone, then I will create a world where my brother exists!

She clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with unwavering resolve.

Just then, Guo Xiaoxu reappeared.

"Miss Wu Ling, the sect leader has returned."

……

After saying goodbye to Xu Xiaoyan and the others, Tang Wuling left with Guo Xiaoxu.

Deep within the Tang Sect, in the Douluo Hall.

"Great! You've grown into a young woman!"

Zang Xin sat at the head of the table, looking Tang Wuling over with great satisfaction.

In the past three years, my little apprentice has changed a lot, not only in appearance, but especially in his calm demeanor.

This little girl has learned to grow up independently since leaving Jiang Yi.

"teacher!"

Tang Wuling said respectfully.

From the moment she became his apprentice, Zang Xin treated the siblings like her own children, and they, in turn, deeply respected Zang Xin.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, Jiang Yi will be fine."

Zang Xin smiled, his face full of confidence.

“Even the Holy Spirit Cult wouldn’t be willing to kill an eighteen-year-old four-word battle armor master.”

In the subsequent investigation by the Tang Sect, they discovered that among the evil spirit masters who attacked at the time, the leaders were two familiar faces.

One is Ghost King Douluo, and the other is Hades Douluo.

The two committed countless evil deeds, but they were not the kind of pure evil soul masters who enjoyed killing; they were driven by self-interest.

The two Ghost Emperors were also pursuing the path to godhood, only their pursuit was far more extreme than that of the others.

Given Jiang Yi's talent, keeping him alive is more worthwhile than killing him. The Tang Clan has experience with this; there have been Tang Clan ancestors who were captured by the Holy Spirit Cult before.

That's right, it's you, Tang Ya!
"So, you are the key to bringing Jiang Yi back."

Zang Xin looked at Tang Wuling and said meaningfully.

If one day Jiang Yi really falls into evil ways, only his younger sister Tang Wuling can pull him back.

"Teacher, I understand."

Tang Wuling nodded.

"Ok!"

Zang Xin nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment, looked at Tang Wuling, and handed her a piece of information.

"Wu Ling, we have news about your parents."

There are too many suspicious points surrounding Shrek's attack this time, especially those two god-killing missiles.

Clearly, the Holy Spirit Cult is merely the executor pushed to the forefront; the real mastermind is someone else entirely.

Zang Xin's first suspect was the Spirit Pagoda, after all, of the three Shrek City brothers, only the Spirit Pagoda was unharmed.

Moreover, Qian Gu Dong Feng and Yun Ming had a long-standing grudge, and the Spirit Pagoda happened to have the power to orchestrate all of this.

Following this line of thought, while searching for traces of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Tang Sect was also investigating the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Unexpectedly, they discovered the whereabouts of Tang Ziran and his wife, whose disappearance was clearly related to the Spirit Pagoda.

"Mom and Dad!!!"

Tang Wuling immediately perked up and quickly took the document.

After all these years, I finally have news of my parents.

……

Meanwhile, at the base of the Poseidon Legion.

A pavilion sits atop a reef, half of it suspended above the sea, where the sea breeze occasionally blows.

"Yue'er..."

By the window, a middle-aged man with a resolute face stood, gazing longingly at the distant sea.

A series of imposing warships floated on the sea; that was the strongest fleet in the entire Federation.

But so what... I still can't protect you!
