Tang Hao spoke simply, but he clearly explained his own experience—he had merely seen something he shouldn’t have, and as a result, he was promptly detained by Bai.
As for why Bai didn’t kill Tang Hao... well, that was a point of doubt.
Wen Yu thought for a moment but didn’t delve deeper into the issue. Instead, he turned to Tang Hao and asked, “Can you draw that formation now?”
Tang Hao simply shook his head. “I forgot…”
It wasn’t that his memory was poor, but rather that the seal deeply embedded in his soul had erased that memory.
However, this wasn’t a big problem.
Based on Wen Yu's experience, as long as a formation was larger, its effects would be more pronounced, yet the resources consumed would also be higher, diminishing its mobility—in other words, if that large formation was very important, it was highly likely to be a fixed formation that couldn’t be moved!
Thus, to find out what that large formation was for, Wen Yu just needed to take a look, and he would have a clear understanding—whether this formation would be dismantled by Bai… well, that possibility existed, but taking a look wouldn’t waste too much time.
With that in mind, Wen Yu immediately stood up and said to Tang Hao, “I’ll give you ten minutes to take a shower, change your clothes, and then take me to that place to have a look.”
Tang Hao nodded immediately.
…
Ten minutes later, a clean and tidy Tang Hao appeared before Wen Yu.
At this moment, Fran was still asleep—sleeping might be a natural instinct for someone like Fran, whose end was approaching; Wen Yu didn’t intervene too much. He simply placed a defensive Barrier around Fran and then left the office with Tang Hao.
On the way, the two met Li Quan'an again. Li Quan'an wanted to inquire about Wen Yu’s destination, but Wen Yu assigned him a new task.
“Disaster relief, rebuild Beijing, restore the management system of Beijing, and inform the high-ranking military officials stationed at the border to return to see me as soon as possible.”
Wen Yu dumped all the miscellaneous tasks he could think of onto Li Quan'an, who happily departed to get to work.
Only after leaving the command center did Wen Yu and Tang Hao both float up into the air. Accompanied by flickering black and golden lights, the two instantly vanished from Beijing.

The Pacific Ocean...
The stronghold of the Sea King clan.
As the second largest clan on Earth, the Sea King clan, even after taking the wrong side in the celestial god turmoil, still remained a force that could not be ignored in this world.
The entire ocean was their territory, and their influence among mutated creatures was almost on par with that of humans.
However, not long ago, a major event occurred in the Sea King clan.
The second generation Sea King was killed in the Layered Battlefield...
That’s right, it was during the “rescue operation” initiated by Tang Hao that the Sea King fell in the Layered Battlefield. This was undoubtedly a loss for the entire Sea King clan, but they had a solid foundation. If the first generation Sea King—the will entity of the Sea King clan—held an irreplaceable position, the second generation Sea King simply benefited from their powerful strength.
There were a few Sea King clan members slightly weaker than the second generation Sea King, perhaps three to five in number. There’s a saying that a snake cannot function without a head; after the second generation Sea King died, the Sea King clan immediately elected the third generation Sea King, who currently holds power over the clan.
Tang Hao had also attended this succession ceremony.
At this moment, the third generation Sea King was at home, feeling his eyelids twitch uncontrollably, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart, as if something significant was about to happen.
Wen Yu didn’t make him wait too long.
With two beams of light streaking across from above, Wen Yu and Tang Hao appeared beside the Sea King without even going through the Royal Court's guard report.
