Chapter 2090: The Truth About the Old Sect Leader (Subscription Request)_1
Guo Xiaoxu took a deep breath, steadying herself. "You are free to come and go as you please within the Tang Sect. I am going to report this matter to the Sect Leader now!"
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Okay, Hall Master Guo."
And with that, the former hurriedly left…
At this moment, the remaining members of the Shrek Seven Monsters expressed their confusion. "Wulin, what did you just tell Hall Master Guo? His expression changed so drastically."
"Yes, and he seemed so anxious, as if it were something very important!"
"Wulin, don't keep us in suspense, out with it!"
Tang Wulin chuckled lightly, "It's nothing much. I just told Hall Master Guo something— that the former Sect Leader of the Tang Sect didn't actually die under the God-killing soul-guided missile but joined the Blood God Army, and became Blood One!"
"Even though he sacrificed his own life to maintain the seal on the abyss!"
Gu Yue understood, "I see. No wonder he was so agitated!"
Tang Wulin didn't dwell on the issue, "Well, since Hall Master Guo elevated us to Black Level Fighters, let's not let his good intentions go to waste. Let's learn all the remaining Tang Sect Secret Techniques!"
Having come to the Tang Sect, how could they leave empty-handed?
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu lamented, "Wulin, while you all go learn the Tang Sect Secret Techniques, what about me?"
He wasn't even a Tang Sect Member yet!
Tang Wulin was momentarily startled, then propping his chin in thought he said, "Well, Zheng Yu, you go sign up to join the Tang Sect first. Then I'll tell Hall Master Guo to arrange for your Black Level Fighter examination. Pass it, and you'll be a Black Level Fighter just like us!"
Yue Zhengyu's face turned bitter, "Ah? I have to take an exam?"
Tang Wulin gave him a look of trust, "Don't worry, with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Besides, this is a good chance to show our strength to the senior members of the Tang Sect!"
Yue Zhengyu sighed helplessly, then tried to look nonchalant as he swept back his hair, "Alright, to prove that the Shrek Seven Monsters didn't just get in through the back door, I suppose I'll agree to it!"
...
Zang Xin, who was dealing with new Tang Sect disciples' affairs, was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside…
"Sect Leader, Hall Master Guo has something urgent to report to you!"
After stopping what he was doing, he said, "Let him in."
Before long, Guo Xiaoxu walked in hurriedly…
Seeing his state, Zang Xin asked in surprise, "Hall Master Guo, you seem very urgent. Is there something important you need to discuss with me?"
The former was usually calm, so it was rare to see him like this!
Guo Xiaoxu nodded seriously, "Yes, Sect Leader, I have just learned some very important information, about the former Sect Leader!"
Zang Xin narrowed his eyes, "The former Sect Leader? Didn't he perish along with the old Tang Sect under the God-killing soul-guided missile many years ago?"
"No, that's not it. The former Sect Leader didn't die; instead, he assumed a new identity and secretly joined the Blood God Army! He became Blood One," Guo Xiaoxu declared with gravity!
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin lost his composure, "What! How is that possible! Even the former Sect Leader couldn't have survived a God-killing soul-guided missile!"
And why, if the former Sect Leader wasn't dead, had he not returned to the Tang Sect?
But he soon calmed down, gazing intently at Guo Xiaoxu, "Hall Master Guo, where did you get this information from?"
Guo Xiaoxu did not hide the truth, "It was Tang Wulin from the Shrek Seven Monsters who told me! I don't believe the kid would lie."
Zang Xin pursed his lips, "Let's keep this matter between you and me, no need to tell the other Hall Masters!"
Former Sect Leader, if you really are not dead and have joined the Blood God Army!
Could it be that you intended for me to take over as Sect Leader from the very beginning?
You really trust me that much…
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
...
Federation!
After Xu Sheng was detained, the higher-ups ordered a comprehensive investigation into the matter…
But the result surprised them all…
"Report, according to our investigation, the theft of the Life Force and Destruction Force is not related to this Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion!"
"Neither the guards on surveillance duty nor the monitoring equipment captured his image!"
One of the high-ranking officials frowned, "Could it really be that we were mistaken?"
Another high-ranking official snorted coldly, "It's too soon to say, who knows what this Elder of the Sea God Pavilion's Martial Soul is, or if he has soul skills capable of invisibility and teleporting!"
But his words were promptly rejected…
"Impossible, even if an invisibility-type soul skill were used, the soul power fluctuations emitted would definitely not escape our sensors!"
"That's right, in our Federation, no soul skill can perfectly bypass both monitoring equipment and sensors!"
"It seems, then, that this incident has nothing to do with that Elder of the Sea God Pavilion. Instead, the intruder must have infiltrated the Federation interior a long time ago, waiting for an opportunity!"
An elder with a somewhat weathered appearance interjected, "Enough of this, in a few days I will personally apologize to Elder Xu and offer some compensation as a conciliatory gesture before sending him on his way! As for the lost Life Force and Destruction Force, chances are we won't be able to recover them!"
Finding something without any traces to go on is difficult enough as it is!
Even the vast Federation is not omnipotent!
The man leading them closed his eyes, "For now, it seems that is our only option. Let's just hope the individual who took the two forces is not an evil Soul Master, or else…"
...
A few days later, the elder took the initiative to find Xu Sheng!
With an apologetic demeanor, he said, "Your Highness, our Federation has thoroughly investigated the matter and it indeed has no connection to you!"
"However, as a gesture of our apology, these are several black-grade mechas recently developed by the Federation. Please accept them with our compliments!"
Xu Sheng received the storage soul tool and expressed his surprise, "Oh? Black-grade mechas? If I'm not mistaken, even the Federation shouldn't have many of these, should they?"
The elder nodded, "Indeed, that's the case. The entire Federation has, at most, just over a hundred black-grade mechas!"
As for the even more powerful red mechas, only Sect Master Mu Ye of the Body Sect possessed them!
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Alright then, I'll accept them!"
This allowed the elder to breathe a sigh of relief, for if the other party accepted the compensation, it signified forgiveness for the Federation's earlier mistake…
"If you don't mind, would you consider staying a few more days in the Federation, Elder Xu?"
Xu Sheng waved his hand dismissively, "No need, I must return to Shrek Academy. I'll visit again when the opportunity arises."
The elder didn't insist further, stroking his beard, "I see, then I won't detain you any longer."
As long as it didn't affect the relationship between the Federation and Shrek Academy, a few black-grade mechas were trivial!
