Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Soon after, Wen Yu turned his gaze back to Tang Haofei—mainly towards the corpse of Daoless Child at Tang Haofei’s feet.

”That thing, do you have a use for it?”

”You mean this? Here, you can have it!”

Tang Haofei was quite straightforward, directly tossing the corpse of Daoless Child from under his foot to Wen Yu.

Looking at the corpse of Daoless Child by his feet, and then at Tang Haofei not far away, Wen Yu truly couldn’t fathom Tang Haofei’s thoughts at that moment.

Bending down to pick up Daoless Child’s corpse, he received a Spiritual Fluctuation from the Almighty Demon Vine.

”The item is still here!”

Tang Haofei didn’t know what Wen Yu was looking for, but if the item was missing, then something truly strange must have happened.

Nonchalantly stuffing Daoless Child’s corpse into the space ring, Wen Yu waved at Tang Haofei, uttered an indifferent, ”Thanks,” and turned to leave.

Since he had obtained what he needed, Wen Yu felt no need to stay and chat with Tang Haofei—after all, the more one talks, the more mistakes one is likely to make.

However, to outsiders, Wen Yu’s behavior looked exactly like that of someone with a guilty conscience.

Seeing Wen Yu turn to leave so abruptly, tangled lines of frustration appeared on Tang Haofei’s forehead.

Your ’I definitely have other secrets’ act is way too obvious…

Thinking this, Tang Haofei quickly got up and strode after Wen Yu.

The sound of rushing footsteps from behind grew closer. Wen Yu sighed and turned to look back.

But Tang Haofei moved even faster. The moment he saw Wen Yu turn, he stopped abruptly, plopped down on the ground, and struck a pose identical to the one he had earlier.

Wen Yu spread his hands and asked with an exasperated expression, ”Bro, what game are you playing?”

”Nothing, I just came to see you. I didn’t expect you to be so heartless...”

”I was at fault regarding Qin Tian, but surely you can understand my difficult situation.”

Hearing this, Wen Yu fell silent for a moment, then resolutely shook his head.

”I don’t blame you. Let the past be the past. But right now, honestly, I have other things to attend to. Can you please stop causing trouble?”

Tang Haofei nodded quickly, putting on the expression of an obedient child.

Seeing this, Wen Yu turned around once more. This time, however, the instant he turned, he accelerated to his maximum speed, transforming into a streak of Black Light. Drawing upon the power of the Netherworld, he used Teleportation and raced off into the distance at extreme speed.

Yet, the sound of footsteps, like cannon fire, echoed from behind almost simultaneously...

In terms of absolute speed, Wen Yu was no match for Tang Haofei, even if he pushed himself to the limit.

Hearing the sounds behind him, Wen Yu decisively halted and swiftly turned around.

Behind him, Tang Haofei remained seated where he was. The distance between them hadn’t changed at all.

”What in the world are you trying to do?!”

”Nothing...”

”Don’t follow me.”

”Fine!”

Wen Yu turned; Tang Haofei got up and followed, then stopped once more.

Only after they had covered a distance nearly half the length of Cathay did Wen Yu finally relent.

Given Tang Haofei’s strength, once he decided to act shamelessly, even Wen Yu found him incredibly hard to deal with.

He plopped down on the ground. They stared at each other for a long moment before Wen Yu finally spread his hands in resignation.

”Old Tang, just tell me what you want. Stop this.”

”I just missed you...”

Old Tang had struggled for a long while before finally blurting this out, leaving Wen Yu speechless.

He couldn’t fight him, nor could he drive him away. Tang Haofei was as stubbornly persistent as sticky taffy—just because Tang Haofei was bored to tears didn’t mean Wen Yu was equally idle.

”Let’s stop fooling around. Whatever you want, just say it. If I can help, I will...”

”I don’t mean anything...”

”Out with it, quickly!”

Hearing Wen Yu’s almost furious tone, Tang Haofei finally adopted a serious demeanor.

”You’ve got some good stuff on you, right? Let me take a look.”

Sigh...

What was destined to happen couldn’t be avoided. Who knew where this guy got his information from?

Meanwhile, as Wen Yu and Tang Haofei were idly chatting, Wen Yu was rapidly communicating with the Almighty Demon Vine through their soul link.

”How long will it take you to find the item?”

”Not long. And completing the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill won’t take much time either.”

”How long is ’not long’?”

”Five minutes should be enough...”

Five minutes? The opportunity will be long gone by then!

Thinking this, Wen Yu let out a silent sigh.

”Go on, hurry. I’ll hold that guy off!”

With that, Wen Yu directly pulled out Daoless Child’s corpse from the space ring, simultaneously pressing his right hand gently onto Daoless Child’s chest.

The Almighty Demon Vine, very cooperatively, burrowed into Daoless Child’s corpse.

But how could such a slight tremor escape Tang Haofei’s notice?

”Hey, hey, hey, doing this right in front of me? You’ve got some nerve...”

Old Tang grumbled but made no further moves—the unknown element wasn’t significant enough for him to risk offending Wen Yu over it.

”This is the good stuff you wanted to see.”

Wen Yu gestured to Daoless Child’s corpse with his left hand, then slowly retracted his right hand and tossed the corpse towards Tang Haofei.

The Almighty Demon Vine had already retrieved the porcelain shards from within Daoless Child’s corpse.

SMACK.

The mangled corpse of Daoless Child was swatted away by Tang Haofei. His eyes were fixed on Wen Yu’s right hand. He said nothing, merely pouting.

At such close range, given their respective strengths, it was impossible for any subtle movement to go unnoticed.

Seeing this, Wen Yu no longer tried to hide anything. He took out the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill from his space ring and placed it beside the Almighty Demon Vine.

Two vine tendrils quickly connected the porcelain shards to the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill. Right under Tang Haofei’s eyes, Wen Yu began the process of completing the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill.

”What’s that now?”

Wen Yu didn’t speak, merely staring intently at Tang Haofei.

”You really have a lot of good things. An Esoteric Level item... What’s it for?”

Wen Yu still remained silent.

Perhaps sensing Wen Yu’s unyielding attitude, Tang Haofei smacked his lips but made no other moves, merely staring intently at the Almighty Demon Vine.

”It looks like some kind of absorption and transformation process. That vine, that’s the Almighty Demon Vine you obtained during the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, isn’t it?”

”Hey, wait, something’s not right. I remember this thing... it seems to be a treasure from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, and this treasure land too...”

”After you entered the treasure land, you went straight to the area with the most intense energy reaction on the Second Level of Heavenly Palace. There’s definitely something fishy about that!”

”Tsk, tsk. Bro, you’ve struck it rich, haven’t you? Don’t forget about me when you do...”

These few short sentences were enough to show that Tang Haofei had already grasped some clues about the whole situation. For an observant person, spotting the suspicious aspects of Wen Yu’s actions from such minute details was certainly not difficult.

”Wen Yu, if you’ve got something going on, just say it. It’s not good to be so secretive...”
