Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 288 Demanding an Explanation

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Huo Yuhao got up and went outside the quiet room.

"Yuhao, you've emerged from seclusion?"

"Dean Yan." Huo Yuhao responded, then looked around but couldn't find Xuanzi.

"Elder Xuan has temporarily left the academy due to some business, and entrusted me to look after you here before he left."

"Dean Yan, what happened?" Although Xuanzi seemed unreliable, Huo Yuhao didn't think that Xuanzi would break his promise to protect him while he was in seclusion and do something else. It was more likely that something more important had happened.

"It's about the Holy Spirit Cult." Yan Shaozhe glanced at Huo Yuhao and didn't hide anything.

Just as the two were talking, Xuanzi had already returned to the front of the Sea God Pavilion and soon noticed that Huo Yuhao had come out of seclusion.

"Elder Xuan, you're back."

"Hmm." Xuanzi nodded, looking at Yan Shaozhe beside him.

After a moment of silence, he ultimately said nothing more.

Although Yan Shaozhe is a descendant of Ye Xishui, he now has no connection with her whatsoever. Besides, Ye Xishui is now dead, so let the matter of Yan Shaozhe's background disappear along with her passing.

"Elder Xuan, is there something wrong with the matters at Jialing Pass?"

Seeing the change in Xuanzi's expression, Yan Shaozhe asked.

"No, the matter at Jialing Pass has been resolved. Ye Xishui and Senior Dragon Emperor have already passed away."

After all, Mu En was a good friend from his youth, so Xuanzi thought for a moment and used a more tactful way of putting it: "Without the two Limit Douluos, the Holy Spirit Cult is now just a name in name only."

With a sigh, Xuanzi continued, "I will be going into seclusion for a long time, and during this time, the affairs of the academy will depend on you."

"Yes." Yan Shaozhe nodded, but quickly realized, "Elder Xuan, are you about to break through your limit?"

"Yes. After failing to break through last time, coupled with Elder Mu's passing, I have indeed lost the courage to break through my limits. I'm afraid that if something happens to me, I won't be able to protect the academy. Now that I think about it, I guess I've really forgotten the time when I first started cultivating."

Xuanzi looked up, a glint of light flashing in her deep yellow eyes beneath her slightly disheveled hair. "Now, I want to try."

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan, we will take care of the affairs of the academy."

"Alright." Xuanzi responded, then turned to look at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, you must have gained quite a bit from your seclusion this time, right?"

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Huo Yuhao paused, "The matter of the Conferred God Platform has been resolved."

Xuanzi's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this. "Good, it's good that you've gained something."

He was unaware that the creature inside the Conferred God Platform was not a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but the Snow Empress with 700,000 years of cultivation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm after hearing such news.

"Elder Xuan, what's the difference between breaking through to the Limit Douluo level and breaking through to the ordinary Title Douluo level?"

Looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes, Xuanzi smiled and said, "With your current cultivation level, it is indeed time for you to start thinking about these things. Since you asked about it today, I'll take this opportunity to explain it to you in detail."

In the realm of the gods, a guest arrived at the Sea God's residence; he was a tall, blond man.

"Xiao Wu, where's Tang San?"

The blond man looked around but didn't see the Sea God. He then asked the man in front of him, "Third Brother is in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, the blond man's tiger-like eyes widened slightly, his pupils clearly visible. "So those rumors are true? Tang San really stopped managing the God Realm and punished himself for ten years?"

"Mmm." Xiao Wu nodded gently.

"What about Douluo Continent?"

"Third Brother said that there is something related to the Forbidden Land of Gods on Douluo Continent, so we can only temporarily sever the connection with the God Realm."

"Is there no solution?"

Xiao Wu shook her head slightly.

"No, I have to go to the Divine Realm Committee and get to the bottom of this." The blond man said, turning to leave.

"Boss Dai!"

The blond man was none other than Dai Mubai, who had become the God of War. Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, he stopped and turned around.

"This is the decision of the Divine Realm Council."

"Hmph, so what if they're the Divine Realm Committee? Does that mean they can do whatever they want just because they're in charge of the Divine Realm? The gods on the Divine Realm Committee manage the Divine Realm to make it better, not to satisfy their own selfish desires and act recklessly."

"Tang San did what he did to protect the safety of the God Realm. How can the others punish him for this? Even if I am only a second-level god, I will still go to the God Realm Committee to ask for clarification."

Before Xiao Wu could speak again, Dai Mubai's figure had already disappeared into the distance.

On the other side, dark clouds gathered above the pitch-black Castle of Destruction, with purple lightning churning incessantly in the air. As the residence of the God of Destruction, this place was perpetually shrouded in clouds and lightning, but today, the lightning here was exceptionally active.

"Just because Tang San said those things, you agreed?"

"In the end, the Sea God's actions were not too wrong, and he also made concessions by handing over the central hub of the divine realm, which is enough."

"Is that enough?" Upon hearing the God of Life's words, the God of Destruction's voice rose several decibels. "Those two, Evil and Good, are utterly indecisive, following Tang San around all day. What difference is there between letting them control the central authority of the God Realm and leaving them in Tang San's hands?"

"The Sea God has already stated that the God Realm will soon face a calamity. At this time, it's not necessarily a bad thing to let the evil god take control of the God Realm. I know you are doing this for the sake of the God Realm, but why not wait until this period has passed and the God Realm has overcome the crisis? Then I will definitely help you."

The God of Life and the God of Destruction were, after all, husband and wife. Although the God of Destruction could not quell his anger, he could not vent his anger on the God of Life in the face of his wife's kind words of advice. He could only snort coldly and sit alone on the throne in the Castle of Destruction.

Suppressing his anger, the God of Destruction thought of something else. Tang San's unauthorized severing of a mortal plane was undoubtedly because he was wary of a power within that plane.

Perhaps he feared that power would affect his divine position, or perhaps he feared the power's immense strength; but without a doubt, it was a power powerful enough to attract the attention of the Sea God, and that power was related to the Forbidden Land of Gods…

Just as the God of Destruction was pondering this, a guest suddenly arrived outside the castle.

"My lord, the God of War requests an audience."

"The God of War?" the God of Destruction repeated. "What's he doing here?"

"It might be related to the sea god," the God of Life said from the side. "If you don't want to see him..."

I'll go out and see him.

"No." The God of Destruction suddenly raised his hand. "If I remember correctly, the God of War and Tang San come from the same plane, right?"

"Please let him in—"
