Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Qian Duoduo was pleasantly surprised to hear this, never expecting Xuanzi to be so generous. However, he quickly came to his senses. He realized that it was really inappropriate to be thinking about killing Zhongli Wu and dividing his soul bones before even seeing him.

He was about to continue questioning Elder Xuan about which scout had obtained the information that Zhongli Wu would definitely attack Xingluo City when suddenly, several small black dots appeared in the azure sky outside. As time passed, these black dots grew larger and larger, gradually transforming into several people using flying soul tools.

The old man leading the group, his face filled with sorrow, used his soul power to shout at the top of his lungs, "White Tiger City has been attacked, suffering heavy casualties. We request the support of the Empire's powerful warriors to annihilate the evil soul masters led by Zhongli Wu!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's expression changed drastically, and Shattered Star Douluo also showed a look of worry. Then, the two of them focused their gaze on Xuanzi, after all, Xuanzi had been confidently saying that Zhongli Wu would attack Xingluo City.

Xuanzi, standing to the side, frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "This is spreading rumors! How could Zhongli Wu possibly appear in White Tiger City! This must be a conspiracy by evil soul masters to test the situation inside Star Luo City and create favorable conditions for their actions. We must not fall for it!"

Qian Duoduo hesitated and said, "This... Elder Xuan, should I go out and arrest these people for questioning? If Zhongli Wu really attacked White Tiger City, then Shao Zhe and Mei'er will be in danger."

He knew, of course, that Yan Shaozhe possessed the power of phoenix rebirth, but that did not diminish his concern for Yan Shaozhe. Although there were some conflicts between the two, with the evil soul masters as the formidable enemy, they should naturally unite against them.

Xuanzi shook his head and said confidently, "Zhongliwu would never attack Baihu City. These people are definitely sent by him to test whether we are in Xingluo City."

Hmph, such a low-level trick can't fool me at all!

"Duoduo, don't arrest them. After all, if you do, it will expose the fact that we're still in Xingluo City. Leave these matters to the Xingluo City Imperial Guards. I believe they will definitely crack down hard on these people who spread rumors!"

Chapter 552 The Angry Moon

As expected, the Star Luo City Imperial Guards quickly used their flying soul tools to take to the sky and arrest these people. At first, they tried to resist, but their resistance was shattered by three blows. They could only shout, "Commander, I am a Star Luo citizen!" to beg for mercy from the Imperial Guards.

Soon, the Star Luo Imperial Guards took these people back one by one for interrogation, and after some time, the results of the interrogation came out.

As one of the Star Luo Empire's retainers, Shattered Star Douluo held a high position and wielded great power within the empire, so he naturally received the interrogation results from the Imperial Guard immediately.

He then took a deep breath and stared at Xuanzi with a grim expression: "Elder Xuan! White Tiger City was indeed attacked, and the casualties were indeed heavy. As for the person who did such a heinous thing, it was naturally Zhongli Wu and his men. If we had followed the original plan and gone to White Tiger City to ambush them, I estimate that Zhongli Wu and all those evil soul masters under his command would have been killed by us."

Your plan to ambush Zhongli Wu in Xingluo City is now put on hold. I need to go to the palace to inform His Majesty of this."

After saying that, Shattered Star Douluo left the restaurant without looking back and flew towards the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Xuanzi stared at the disappearing figure of Shattered Star Douluo, somewhat incredulous, his mind churning: "How is this possible! Zhongli Wu could never have attacked White Tiger City, he should have attacked Star Luo City! How could my plan have failed... unless... Yan Shaozhe didn't even pass on my plan from the Sea God Pavilion meeting to Zhongli Wu, but that doesn't make sense either!"

Qian Duoduo's face was gloomy. He realized that Elder Xuan's plan had failed once again. How many times had Elder Xuan made a mistake?

A level 98 Super Douluo, and the next head of the Sea God Pavilion in name only, has made repeated mistakes. This even gave him the feeling that Elder Xuan was deliberately helping the enemy to attack Shrek Academy.

However, the only piece of good news that could offer some comfort was that Elder Xuan mentioned at the meeting that he had arranged for the families of those Shrek students to be under strict protection in Star Luo City. So, at least the students' families were safe.

Even if the plan fails, the turmoil at the college should still be relatively easy to manage.

Xuanzi was still somewhat skeptical. He said, "Duoduo, I don't think the results of the interrogation are necessarily true. What if the results are false? Wouldn't we have been deceived?"

If White Tiger City is truly attacked, wouldn't that mean the families of students with weaker backgrounds have already been killed? How much turmoil would that cause within Shrek Academy?

Will those students still trust themselves and the college?

How will outsiders view Shrek Academy? Will the reputation of the original Seven Devils be affected by Shrek Academy's current situation?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could I have made such a grave mistake again?

My plan absolutely cannot fail! If Yan Shaozhe, that traitor, had any brains, he would have revealed the plan to Zhongliwu, thus leading Zhongliwu to choose to attack Xingluo City!

Those people must have been sent by Zhongliwu to spread false information in various ways. This is all Zhongliwu's conspiracy!

In situations like these, it is essential to remain calm and composed, and never let the other party's tricks throw you into disarray.

Qian Duoduo asked somewhat helplessly, "So, Elder Xuan, what do you mean?"

"Wait! How can we be sure that White Tiger City has really been attacked based solely on the results of those interrogations? I still maintain my previous view that these people are very likely sent by Zhongli Wu to probe the situation inside Star Luo City."

"Unless sufficient evidence can be presented, I cannot believe that White Tiger City was attacked. Zhongli Wu might launch an attack on Star Luo City soon! Hmph, that old fool Sui Xing will regret leaving here soon!" Xuan Zi said decisively.

......

Shrek Academy.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe knelt on the ground, his face filled with sorrow, his eyes red as he looked at Mu En sitting in the chair, and Cai Meier beside him did the same.

At this moment, Moon had just finished listening to the two men recount the events at White Tiger City. His breathing was rapid, and his aged face was now filled with barely suppressed anger.

"Xuanzi, you have made another grave mistake!" Mu En said through gritted teeth, his tone so harsh that it seemed he wished he could devour Xuanzi alive. Veins bulged on his face like snakes.

Even the hands gripping the chair armrests unconsciously tightened their grip, and with a cracking sound, the chair armrests shattered into pieces of varying sizes, falling to the ground with a clattering sound.

He didn't understand why Xuanzi had confidently said at the Sea God Pavilion meeting that he had arranged for all the students and their families with weak backgrounds to go to Xingluo City, but in reality, those people were all in Baihu City. If those people weren't in Baihu City, would they not have died?

Furthermore, why didn't Xuanzi send reinforcements to White Tiger City? If he had led troops to support White Tiger City, how could things have turned out this way?

Although he didn't understand why Xuanzi would do this, judging from Xuanzi's various actions, it was more accurate to say that Xuanzi was a spy of the Holy Spirit Cult than an elder of the Sea God Pavilion.

Shrek Academy is currently in an extremely dangerous situation due to Xuanzi's actions.

Those students who lost their family members will undoubtedly be utterly disappointed with the academy, and Douluo Three Kingdoms will also question Shrek Academy's overall planning and coordination capabilities.

This would severely damage Shrek Academy's reputation, and even he wouldn't be able to salvage it.

Will the academy be able to recruit enough outstanding students in the future? Can it maintain its status as the number one soul master academy on the continent? Is Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation really going to be destroyed in an instant?

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and looked at Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, saying, "Shaozhe, Meier, you two rest in the academy for now and treat your injuries. I will have Gong Changlong notify all the Sea God Pavilion members who are away to return! I want to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting to discuss the White Tiger City matter!"

Of course, he also planned to announce at the meeting the change of successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Having gone through all that had happened before, he had long since decided against giving the position of Sea God Pavilion Master to Xuanzi, and instead intended to hand it over to Yan Shaozhe. However, he had never mentioned this matter to the outside world before.

This time, he prepared his cards outright, leaving Xuanzi no room for illusion.

Regardless of the other party's reasons in the White Tiger City incident, their various mistakes now prove that I must quickly appoint a slightly more reliable person as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion.

Shao Zhe's strength is indeed relatively weak, but I have a way to improve Shao Zhe's strength.

Xuanzi is indeed quite strong, but he has no way to change the other party's personality.

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier both nodded in agreement.

......

Shrek Academy's Colosseum.

A tall, ruddy-faced, red-haired old man was watching the spirit beasts in the arena. His name was Gong Changlong. He had an extremely deep understanding of spirit beasts and was considered a spirit beast research expert at Shrek Academy. In addition, he was also known as the Beast King because of his great strength.

As a titled Douluo, he holds a remarkable position even within Shrek Academy.

Suddenly, Mu En's voice echoed in his mind: "Xiao Gong, you must go to the Star Luo Empire immediately and call back all the elders except Shao Zhe and Mei'er. I need to convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion."

Chapter 553 Putting aside the facts, is Yan Shaozhe completely without fault?

"Yes, Elder Mu," Gong Changlong replied respectfully to Mu En.

He knew that Elder Mu's health had never been very good, and even if he summoned the other elders who were away to return to the academy and hold a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion, he would not be able to personally attend.

Old Master Mu entrusted this task to me, which shows his trust in me. I must do my best to complete this task.

Therefore, Gong Changlong immediately arranged for people to take care of the Beast Fighting Area, and then quickly set off from Shrek Academy to the Star Luo Empire to search for the whereabouts of the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

a few days later.

Gong Changlong led the other elders back to Shrek Academy.

The group flew through the sky.

Xuanzi, the strongest among them, was now hanging at the very back of the group, his face ashen, his eyes red-rimmed, and his aged face still bearing traces of tears.

In the past few days, he has obtained a great deal of other evidence, which confirms that his plan has failed and that Zhongli Wu really attacked White Tiger City.

Therefore, the families of those students who didn't have strong backgrounds but trusted the academy have now all been killed by Zhong Liwu and his group, which makes him feel guilty and uneasy.

为什么事情会变成这样呢：

For the first time, there was a possibility of killing Zhongliwu, and an opportunity to protect the students' families. These two happy things combined should have made me even happier.

But now Zhongliwu has attacked White Tiger City, making both things a mess. The joy that was originally expected to be gained has now turned into pain.

Gradually, his flight speed slowed down until he stopped, gazing blankly at the Sea God Pavilion not far away.

Qian Duoduo noticed that Xuanzi had stopped. He turned to look at Xuanzi and said through gritted teeth, "Elder Xuan, Elder Mu said he wants to hold a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion. You're not going to run away at the last minute, are you?"

Because Xuanzi has made repeated mistakes, and now he has committed an unprecedentedly serious error, Qian Duoduo is now harboring resentment towards Xuanzi, and his attitude towards Xuanzi is naturally not as respectful as before.

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Xuanzi.

Xuanzi's gaze swept over everyone, his face bitter: "How could I, the biggest sinner, possibly desert my post? I should be punished for my mistakes. You all go to the Sea God Pavilion first. I want to be alone for a while. I will go to the Sea God Pavilion on my own later."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances before flying into the Sea God Pavilion.

As for Gong Changlong, since he was not an elder, he left the Sea God Pavilion after reporting back to Mu En.

Xuanzi continued to gaze at the Sea God Pavilion, his eyes gradually becoming red and swollen, tears streaming down his face. He took out a pot of wine and began to drink slowly. At this moment, he was not enjoying the wine, but rather drowning his sorrows in it.

Suddenly, a voice struggling to suppress anger rang in his mind: "Xuanzi, stop drinking and come in for the meeting immediately!"

"It's Elder Mu's voice!" Xuanzi put away the wine pot, wiped the tears from his face with his dirty sleeve, and then quickly flew into the Sea God Pavilion. As soon as he entered the Sea God Pavilion, he found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He quickly found his seat, lowered his head, dared not look Moon in the eye, and silently awaited the impending storm of judgment.

Mu En gave Xuan Zi a disappointed look, then said, "I will be presiding over this Sea God Pavilion meeting. The academy suffered huge losses in the White Tiger City incident."

The elders present all wore expressions of sorrow, with Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er even having red eyes, as did Zhang Lexuan, a member of the Sea God Pavilion.

“Xuanzi, raise your head and look at me. So many people died in the White Tiger City incident, and you are to blame.” Mu En shouted sternly.

Xuanzi slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and choked out, "Elder Mu, you are right. I am to blame for the White Tiger City incident. I am a sinner. Therefore, Elder Mu, I hope to resign from the Sea God Pavilion. After all, I am no longer qualified to serve as an elder. I only wish to be a free man at Shrek Academy."

As he spoke, he stood up, making a gesture as if to leave.

The other elders' expressions changed drastically.

Zhang Lexuan was also stunned. She wondered why Elder Xuan had chosen to resign.

Am I supposed to kneel in front of the Sea God Pavilion again, begging them not to resign?

Thinking about this, Zhang Lexuan felt a slight discomfort in her knees.

However, if things really develop to this point, she will definitely choose to kneel and beg the other party to stay. After all, Elder Xuan is a level 98 Super Douluo and an indispensable powerhouse for Shrek Academy.

Mu En snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "Why does Xuanzi always choose to resign after making a big mistake?"

Does Xuanzi really think that resigning will erase all the mistakes he has made?

Or is the other party choosing this tactic as a strategic retreat? After all, no matter what, I can't possibly get the other party to resign from the Sea God Pavilion.
