Chapter 1652: Joining the Sea God's Pavilion! (Please Subscribe)_1

The middle-aged man glanced at him coldly, "Do you even believe that statement yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the elder could only bow his head, at a loss for words...

Indeed, even he could not convince himself, so how could he make the Sect Leader believe?

Seeing this, the middle-aged man took another deep breath, "Since our Tang Sect Branch has become the headquarters, many Soul Masters within the Xingluo Empire are willing to join. You are to take charge of this matter."

"If necessary, we can lower the difficulty of entering the Tang Sect!"

If they wanted to keep the title of Tang Sect's headquarters, it wasn't going to be that simple!

The elder hesitated for a moment but still spoke up carefully, "But Sect Leader, about the matter with Dragon Valley..."

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently, "I have my own judgement for Dragon Valley; go on!"

His mood was extremely irritable now, and he did not wish to discuss it further...

The elder was tongue-tied, "Yes, Sect Leader!"

After he left, a shadow slowly emerged in a corner, revealing a figure clad in a black robe. The unmistakable aura of bloodlust revealed his identity as one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult: the Dark Blood Devil!

Soon after, he fixed his crimson eyes on the middle-aged man and sneered, "Don't bother thinking about it. Your 'Elder Wu' and 'Hei Yi' have most likely been killed by our people from the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Hearing this sudden voice, the Tang Sect Master immediately turned his head to look, and upon recognizing the figure, he identified him at once...

Narrowing his eyes, he roared angrily, "Dark Blood Devil... It was indeed you, the Holy Spirit Cult, who made the move!!!"

Yet a chill seeped into his heart. He had already ordered to strengthen Tang Sect's defenses, yet still someone from the Holy Spirit Cult managed to infiltrate!

If the Holy Spirit Cult wanted to attack Tang Sect, wouldn't they be able to penetrate every defense?

The Dark Blood Devil seemingly saw through his thoughts, "Don't be surprised. Your Tang Sect is indeed well-fortified. If I had not used a Shielding Type Soul Guidance Device, I wouldn't have been able to sneak in."

The Tang Sect Master's expression turned cold, "Hmph, Dark Blood Devil, since your Holy Spirit Cult has taken the initiative to harm our people, there's nothing more to say!"

The next second, he released his Martial Soul, and nine soul rings began to levitate beneath his feet...

Disdainful of this, the Dark Blood Devil spoke coldly, "I am not here to kill you today, but to offer your Tang Sect Branch an opportunity!"

His words caused the former to frown, "What do you mean?"

The Dark Blood Devil licked his thin lips, his eyes flashed with a sinister gleam, "As long as you Tang Sect agree to assist the Holy Spirit Cult, your overall strength can surge in a short period of time, surpassing the Tang Sect's headquarters on the Douluo Continent!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he faced a flat denial from the Tang Sect Master, "Impossible!!"

The Dark Blood Devil's expression turned unpleasant, "Why impossible? You should know that the former Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda also rose with the help of our Holy Spirit Cult..."

Before he could finish, the Tang Sect Master's fifth soul ring lit up and he shot straight toward the Dark Blood Devil to attack...

"Enough, while I indeed wish to strengthen Tang Sect, we certainly don't need the help of filthy vermin like you!"

The Dark Blood Devil swiftly retreated, narrowly dodging the strike, and spoke with a cold voice, "I've given you your chance. Since you're unwilling, then wait for the downfall of this Tang Sect!"

Then, he merged into the shadows and disappeared from the space...

Only after confirming that the Dark Blood Devil's presence had vanished did the Tang Sect Master call out, "Someone!!"

A Tang Sect Disciple ran in from the outside, respectfully saying, "Sect Leader, what are your orders?"

"Notify all levels of the Tang Sect to further strengthen our patrols. No corner is to be overlooked!"

After all, no one knew whether a powerhouse like the Dark Blood Devil would infiltrate the Tang Sect again!

...

Shrek Academy, in a first-year classroom!

Xie Xie said despondently, "The semester is almost over, so why haven't we been approved to enter the Inner Court yet?"

Tang Wulin shook his head, guessing, "I don't know. Maybe there's a limit on the number of spots. After all, in the past, only a fraction of a percent of students could enter the Inner Court!"

Xu Lizhi muttered, "Could it be that... not a single one among us has met the criteria?"

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head in disagreement, "That shouldn't be the case. I remember Teacher Shen saying that we all had a chance to get in, it's just that Gu Yue and Wu Siduo's chances were a bit higher!"

Wu Siduo said noncommittally, "Being approved to enter would naturally be good, but if not, it doesn't matter. After all, there are only a dozen or so people in the Inner Court now!"

Gu Yue said in surprise, "Wu Siduo, you really are open-minded, but there are indeed many more benefits to entering the Inner Court than staying in the Outer Court!"

For example, getting Soul Rings and such are reimbursed by the Academy!

Wu Siduo pursed her thin lips, "Yuanen Yehui's strength has already completely surpassed me. Entering the Inner Court would just add to the blow."

Just then, a sudden announcement came through the broadcast, "All Shrek Outer Court students, quickly assemble in the square!"

Hearing this, Xie Xie said irritably, "Huh? Why are they notifying us now? The day's classes have already ended!"

Xu Xiaoyan said annoyed, "Stop complaining and get to the square quickly, if we're late, who knows what might happen!"

Ye Xinglan also agreed, "That's right, calling for assembly at this time, it must be something very important!"

Tang Wulin stood up from his seat, "Let's go, everyone!"

…

When Tang Wulin and the others arrived at Shrek Square, they found that the students from the third grade and below had almost all gathered as well…

The elders of the Sea God's Pavilion were also standing at the front, each of their faces stern…

"All the elders from the Sea God's Pavilion are here, so what kind of important matter are they going to announce?"

"I don't know. Our Shrek Academy has been very stable lately!"

"Do you think it could have something to do with the Yuanen Clan?"

"It's possible, after all, they've moved their entire clan to Shrek Academy, they must make a grand announcement!"

"Shush, don't talk, just open your eyes wide and watch!"

Yun Ming, standing at the very front, surveyed the crowd below and then began, "Since all the students have gathered, I will announce one matter here!"

"Effective today, the Yuan En Clan will officially join Shrek Academy, and Clan Leader Yuan En Zhentian, after several discussions, has decided to join the Sea God's Pavilion and take up the position of an elder!"

Feng Wu Yu glanced sideways at Cai Yue'er and said, "Elder Ya'li, isn't this a bit too exaggerated? We didn't make such a fuss when we joined the Sea God's Pavilion, did we?"

Turbid World also nodded, "Mm, and announcing it in front of all Outer Court students, isn't that a bit too much?"

Tang Yinmeng frowned, "According to the tradition of the Sea God's Pavilion, the appointment of each elder has never been so high-profile!"

Elder Ya'li shook her head, "I'm also not sure. This was decided personally by Yun Ming, he must have his reasons."

On this matter, Yun Ming vetoed her and Cai Yue'er's suggestions…
