It might seem that Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian can't give him much help right now, but a person can't just focus on what's in front of them.
He might not need them now, but what about the future?
They might not be able to help on the front lines, but what about logistics? What about small, trivial matters?
A person can't always be a lone wolf. In the future, with the help of Xiao Xiao, the Fierce Beasts, and others, Lin Yun will definitely have much less to worry about.
It's much easier to give orders than to do everything yourself.
Since he had already decided to leave Shrek Academy, Lin Yun wasn't going to stay any longer. Dropping out of Shrek was incredibly easy during this period, even easier than when Zhou Yi used to expel students.
(Zhou Yi: ?)
Because of Lin Yun, Shrek students could now just pack up and leave. Normally, dropping out wasn't easy; Shrek wouldn't let you go so easily.
If there was a club on Planet Ox-Horse that was a master of contracts, then Shrek was basically a master of brainwashing. You want to leave before you've been successfully brainwashed? Impossible.
So, taking advantage of this moment, Lin Yun quickly grabbed his things and left with Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.
Ning Tian was escorted back by people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so Lin Yun didn't have to worry about her. But Xiao Xiao was different; her family was quite ordinary, and the strongest person in her family was just a Soul Douluo, an old one who had already exhausted their potential. To ensure her safety, Lin Yun flew with her all the way to the Heaven Soul Empire before dropping her off.
"Brother Yun, are you really not going to visit my home?" Xiao Xiao's big eyes blinked, and her tone was a little disappointed.
"Not now. Let's wait until I get back from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Once I've handled things with Little Tian, I'll come back for you," Lin Yun said, smiling as he ruffled Xiao Xiao's hair, gently declining.
Visiting Xiao Xiao's home could wait until he told her his true identity. There was no rush for a couple of weeks. He would first subdue the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; it was all going to happen one after the other anyway.
Xiao Xiao could only nod in agreement, then walked toward the city, looking back every few steps.
Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao's home was quite interesting. It was called Soto City. Yes, that Soto City, the place where Shrek Academy first started and where the Shrek Seven Devils became famous.
After the Heaven Dou Empire split into the Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, most of the cities in the Heaven Soul Empire had changed their names over the past ten thousand years, but Heaven Dou City and Soto City had not.
The former was to commemorate the former Heaven Dou Empire, while the latter was naturally because of Tang San and Shrek Academy.
Lin Yun was a little surprised that Xiao Xiao's family would live in such a place.
After Shrek Academy moved from Soto City to Heaven Dou City to take over Lanba Academy, and then moved again to establish Shrek City on the ruins of Spirit Hall City, Heaven Dou City and Soto City were only prosperous for a century or two before they were gradually forgotten. Heaven Dou City appeared a few times in the original novel, but Soto City never appeared even once throughout the plot of "Unrivaled Tang Sect."
Lin Yun took a deep look at the city, then spread his wings and soared into the sky, heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
During the flight, Empress Bing also climbed out of his collar and perched on Lin Yun's shoulder, while Qing'er obediently stayed inside.
"Your Highness, what's next...?" Empress Bing's voice was a little excited.
"That's right. First, we'll go back and get Di Tian and Empress Xue, then I, your king, will take you to show off!" Lin Yun laughed, confirming Empress Bing's guess.
Empress Bing excitedly waved her small pincers.
Before this, Lin Yun had told her that the upcoming trip to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was the third and most crucial step in the rise of the soul beasts.
The first step was to infiltrate Shrek Academy, the second was to cause trouble with "Shrek's Spring and Autumn," and the third was to begin subduing human forces. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was their first target!
If it were up to Empress Bing, she would never have the idea of subduing human forces. In her words, humans were cunning and hypocritical creatures, and even if she managed to subdue a human force, there was no guarantee they wouldn't stab her in the back.
In simpler terms, Empress Bing felt she wasn't smart enough and couldn't outwit or trust humans.
But if the person planning to subdue human forces was Lin Yun, Empress Bing had no worries at all; in fact, she was a little eager to try. When it came to brains, Empress Bing had absolute confidence in Lin Yun. He had almost single-handedly brought down Shrek Academy. What was a mere Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to him?
In the past, when she met humans, she would just get rid of them directly. This was the first time she would openly flaunt her power in front of a human force!
Wow, wow! As expected, following His Highness means experiencing endless new things!
In Empress Bing's excited anticipation, the Lake of Life was already in sight. The numerous Fierce Beasts, sensing Lin Yun's approach, had gathered around the Lake of Life, awaiting his return.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as Lin Yun's feet touched the ground, the Fierce Beasts, led by Di Tian, knelt on one knee in a respectful salute. Even Empress Bing was no exception.
Although she was now one of the closest people to Lin Yun and the first to become the Dragon King's Consort, this did not mean that Empress Bing would become arrogant because of his favor. In this regard, soul beasts were even more rigid in their hierarchy than humans. They knew their place.
When they were alone, their playful banter was a private matter. In such a formal setting, Empress Bing would never challenge Lin Yun's authority.
Because he was the Co-Lord of the Soul Beasts!
Lin Yun nodded lightly, gesturing for them to stand. His eyes scanned the faces of the Fierce Beasts before him. After a brief thought, he said, "Di Tian, Empress Xue, King of Ten Thousand Beasts, step forward!"
Empress Xue took a step forward with a serene expression.
The King of Ten Thousand Beasts followed closely behind, head held high.
Di Tian, on the other hand, seemed a little excited. It had been a long time since Lin Yun had taken him along for a game, which had made the Emperor of Captivity feel a bit frustrated. But this time, His Highness needed him!
I, the Emperor of Captivity, am loyal!
"The three of you, along with Empress Bing, will come with me to the human world," Lin Yun said with a smile. "If we want to overthrow the human world and completely topple the Divine Realm, we can't do it with only soul beasts. I think we need some other help!"
"As you command, Your Highness!" *4
"Alright, let's go!" Lin Yun said, waving his hand.
Di Tian stepped forward, his right hand transforming into a black dragon claw that he swung down fiercely, tearing open a dark and deep spatial rift. With his hands behind his back, Lin Yun walked in first, and Empress Bing and the others followed.
They had arrived at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
