Chapter 3015: Stepping Down_1

Ao Rui also realized that what he had said was too presumptuous...

He quietly lowered his head and said, "I see, then indeed I did not consider it well enough..."

However, soon he voiced his hope again, "Hall Master Tang, since you understand the Ghost Emperor so well, isn't there really no way to sanction him?"

Tang Wulin was somewhat taken aback but then replied, "I don't have an absolute method to sanction the Ghost Emperor, but I do have some thoughts on how to deal with him, if you all don't mind, we could discuss them."

…

Outside Shrek Academy!

Seeing that Gu Yuena had been inside the academy for quite some time, Bi Ji couldn't help feeling anxious...

She couldn't help but say, "Di Tian, it's been so long, why hasn't the lord come out yet? Could it be that something has happened??"

After sensing the entire academy with his spiritual power, Di Tian shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. If there were a fight, with the lord's strength, the Shrek Academy couldn't possibly be this calm!"

Bi Ji still couldn't feel at ease and said, "But... I can't sense the lord's presence at all inside. These despicable humans are not to be trusted!"

Xie Xie glanced at her and explained, "That's because Shrek Academy has soul tools that block sensing, so naturally, you can't detect Gu Yue's situation!"

Of course, this was also because after Shrek Academy was destroyed by evil Soul Masters, it was specially arranged to prevent outsiders from spying!

After a pause, he added, "Besides, I've said it before, with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion present, as long as Gu Yue doesn't provoke trouble, nothing should happen!!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji sharply retorted, "Humans, I know that the people of Shrek Academy have a deep relationship with the lord, but that doesn't mean the Battle God Hall's hall master and the Xingluo Empire's State Preceptor!!"

"They have always seen the Spirit Pagoda as a thorn in their side, how could they not seize this opportunity!"

"How about this, let us go in..."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Xie Xie immediately rejected without hesitation, "Impossible!"

Bi Ji, growing more dissatisfied, rebuked, "Human, you..."

However, Di Tian placed his hand on her shoulder and restrained her, "Bi Ji, be calm!"

Bi Ji, still somewhat agitated, said, "But..."

Di Tian interrupted again, "There are no buts, we should trust the lord, she would not act without a plan!"

Even if a confrontation really arose, she could use her Spatial Ability to escape; no one present would likely be able to stop her!

And most importantly, that Tang Wulin from the Sea God Pavilion is her partner!

If the hall master of the War God Hall and the State Preceptor of the Xingluo Empire really wanted to act against her, he would definitely be the first to disagree!

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji finally calmed down, but her gaze towards Xie Xie was still very unfriendly...

Xie Xie, of course, noticed this but expressed, without minding, "Actually, there's no need for you to be so hostile towards me."

"Because I... no, I should say we, the Shrek Seven Monsters, do not dislike soul beasts, and we even hope that this race can revive!"

Di Tian became cautious and questioned, "What's your purpose for deliberately saying this in front of us?"

He certainly didn't believe that the other party was just speaking offhand!

Xie Xie chuckled lightly and explained, "Don't be nervous, I just want to convey a message to you, Shrek Academy doesn't want to be enemies with the Soul Beast Clan, and is even willing to offer help!"

"But if in the process of reviving the Soul Beast Clan, you endanger the civilians and Soul Masters of the Soul Land, then I'm sorry, we can only become enemies!"

Di Tian was somewhat unable to discern whether what the other party said was true or false and responded emotionlessly, "These words, you shouldn't speak to us, but to the lord!"

Xie Xie scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed and said, "Well, I did want to tell Gu Yue, but she's unlikely to give me the opportunity!"

Bi Ji stared intently at the former for dozens of seconds before she spoke in a low voice, "Di Tian, this human doesn't seem to be lying. Could it be that Shrek Academy is actually in favor of the Sea God's revival of the Soul Beast Clan?"

"In that case, should we also change some of our views?"

Di Tian, using a voice that only the two of them could hear, said, "Bi Ji, don't be swayed by a few words. Whether Shrek Academy can be trusted is still for the Sea God to decide!"

"She has lived in the human world for so long, she understands better than us!"

Bi Ji did not contradict him, but in her heart, she felt a slight increase in her goodwill towards Xie Xie…

At least at that moment, she believed that not all humans were beyond redemption!

...

Tang Sect, Battle Soul Hall!

Before the eyes of Guo Xiaoxu and the Douluo Hall disciples, Liang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and announced loudly, "According to the order issued by the Sect Leader, effective immediately, the position of Guo Xiaoxu as the Battle Soul Hall Master is revoked!"

In an instant, the disciples present all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief…

Once they recovered, they started discussing in an excited tone…

"What… What? Hall Master Guo has been stripped of his position?"

"That's impossible, I don't believe it, I refuse to believe it!!"

"What exactly is the Sect Leader trying to do by stripping Hall Master Guo of his position, it's just too much!"

"Exactly, even if he is to be removed, a reasonable explanation should be given. Hall Master Guo has been so loyal to the Tang Sect!!"

Even Guo Xiaoxu himself, after hearing this sentence, seemed somewhat dazed…

After swallowing, he inquired, "Hall Master Liang, the words you just spoke, you're not joking, right? Did the Sect Leader really…"

Liang Xiaoyu nodded heavily, "Yes, the Sect Leader indeed issued the order to revoke your Battle Soul Hall Master position!"

"I tried to persuade him too, but…"

Guo Xiaoxu couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, "Understood. Since it is the decision of the Sect Leader, I naturally have no objections!"

Noticing that the other's emotions were a bit off, Liang Xiaoyu hurriedly added, "Hall Master Guo, the reason why the Sect Leader relieved you of your position as the Hall Master was because..."

Guo Xiaoxu stopped Liang Xiaoyu from continuing to speak, "Hall Master Liang, there's no need to say more, I know what the Sect Leader means. It's just that I didn't expect… Eh, let it be!"

Then, he turned to look at these Douluo Hall disciples…

"Everyone has heard what Hall Master Liang just said. From today onwards, I am no longer the Battle Soul Hall Master. I hope you all remember this!"

"Soon, someone else will take over as the Battle Soul Hall Master!"

However, this was met with strong opposition from all the disciples…

"No, only Hall Master Guo is recognized as the Battle Soul Hall Master, only you are qualified for this position!"

"That's right, nobody else is eligible. At least I absolutely disagree!!"

"I also disagree, why should Hall Master Guo be stripped of his position when he has done nothing wrong!"
