As expected, when Tang Wulin and his companions arrived at the Sea God's Pavilion, Cai Yue'er and the others had already been seated, waiting for them!
Elder Ya'li was the first to speak, "Wulin, you're back!"
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Yes, Elder Ya'li, we are back."
Upon hearing this, she asked again with concern, "Did you encounter any danger on this mission?"
Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Well, although it wasn't dangerous, there were indeed some unpleasant events!"
"We ran into a group of Soul Masters attacking us in the ruins, but fortunately, no one was injured."
The moment Elder Ya'li heard this, her expression turned cold, "What?? Someone dared to break into the ruins unauthorized? That area is strictly off-limits by Shrek Academy's orders!"
Those Soul Masters were really too brazen in disregarding Shrek Academy!
Tang Wulin quickly explained, "Elder Ya'li, rest assured, those Soul Masters have paid with their lives for their actions."
Cai Yue'er appeared somewhat surprised, "You killed them?"
She knew that the Shrek Seven Monsters were not cruel-hearted people!
Before Tang Wulin could speak, Yuanen Yehui said with an icy tone, "Elder Cai, I was the one who killed those Soul Masters. They attacked us with high-grade soul tools, clearly intending to kill, so it was merely an act of self-defense!"
After hearing his response, Cai Yue'er looked at him with admiration, "Well done. Since those Soul Masters harbored the intent to kill you, there was of course no reason to show mercy. Yehui, you did very well!"
Yuanen Yehui was taken aback for a moment before responding, "Thank you for the praise, Elder Cai!"
He had thought he would be reprimanded, but it seemed that was not the case!
Yuanen Zhengtian, seeing this, couldn't help but cough slightly to change the subject, "Those vile people got what they deserved. What about Xie Xie? Why isn't he here? Could it be he is still in the ruins?"
Xie Xie was, after all, his future son-in-law, and naturally, he was concerned about him!
Yuanen Yehui did not hide anything, "Grandfather, Xie Xie went to visit the injured students from the previous confrontation. He will be here soon!"
Yuanen Zhengtian stroked his beard, pondering, "I see. I didn't expect the lad to have such a caring heart. I never noticed it before, but that's exactly what my granddaughter deserves."
Yuanen Yehui's ears reddened, but he did not deny it...
Indeed, Xie Xie now was a good match for her in both strength and appearance.
Tang Yinmeng, who had been silent, spoke up to interrupt the conversation, "Wulin, don't just stand there, please sit down so we can begin the meeting!"
As the Sea God Pavilion Master, Tang Wulin's status was naturally the most revered!
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin understood her meaning and immediately said to the others, "Everyone, please take your seats. The Sea God Pavilion meeting is now officially starting!"
Having said that, he first took the seat of honor...
The previously jovial Yue Zhengyu and others, once they realized what was happening, instantly became serious and returned to their places...
"So, the Sea God Pavilion meeting is officially underway!"
...
Tang Sect!
Liang Xiaoyu looked at Zang Xin before him and said, "Sect Leader, the federation's people have left, and those who are now in charge of guarding are all our disciples from the Tang Sect."
In his view, the federation had enough self-awareness. After ousting the members of the Spirit Pagoda, they had voluntarily withdrawn all their personnel from the inner defense lines!
To avoid excessive interference and causing dissatisfaction within the Tang Sect!
Zang Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Oh? The federation had retreated so timely? It seems they must have expelled all the members of the Spirit Pagoda from the defense line!"
He had thought that this defensive line would always be managed by the federation's people!
But he had not expected them to actively withdraw!!
Liang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's what I think too, but a greater possibility might be that the federation had already successfully completed the God-Slaying soul-guided missiles!"
Zang Xin sighed, "Yes, with the God-Slaying soul-guided missiles, it only takes an instant to reduce the Spirit Pagoda to ashes!"
"But the use of it would affect the surrounding areas as well!!"
He did not sympathize with the Spirit Pagoda, but he did feel for the civilians and Soul Masters who could potentially die at any moment from the God-Slaying soul-guided missiles!
The former pursed his lips, "Sect Leader, there's no helping it. If we evacuate in advance, it would be tantamount to telling the Spirit Pagoda that a launch is imminent!"
"They certainly won't sit still and wait for death!"
Zang Xin waved his hand dismissively, "Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. How has the Tang Sect been doing recently?"
Liang Xiaoyu immediately became serious, "To tell you the truth, ever since Hall Master Guo was relieved of his position, the disciples' morale has been very low!"
Zang Xin was silent for a few seconds before inquiring further, "But wasn't Hall Master Guo's position taken over by Ye Xinglan? Why is this still happening!"
Liang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, "Sect Leader, you can't blame the disciples. Although Ye Xinglan is the Hall Master, she's hardly ever seen once a month, and her presence is quite low!"
On hearing this, Zang Xin could only sigh, "That's true... after all, Ye Xinglan cares more about Shrek Academy on that side!"
"Liang Hall Master, from now on, you'll have to bear with it!"
Liang Xiaoyu's face immediately turned bitter, "Sect Leader, please don't make things difficult for me. Managing the entire Sect alone is truly exhausting!"
As the Sect Leader himself, most of the matters were handed over to him, without anyone to share the load, the pressure was enormous!!
Zang Xin retorted righteously, "How can you say you're managing it alone? I, the Sect Leader, am still here!"
The former rolled his eyes instantly, "Come on, Sect Leader, when have you ever personally managed the Tang Sect's affairs, big or small??"
Somewhat guilty, Zang Xin decided to use love to influence him, "Cough cough, Hall Master Liang, how can you think like that? Isn't this to train you? If anything were to happen to me, you would be the one to support Wulin, that child!"
"Besides, the Tang Sect disciples' acceptance of you far exceeds mine!"
Liang Xiaoyu didn't want to continue with this nonsense, sighing, "Sect Leader, if you were a bit more honest, you wouldn't be so disagreeable!"
Auxiliary to Tang Wulin? His companions were far more outstanding than himself!!
After a pause, he shook his head, putting these thoughts aside, "Well, if it's exhausting, it's exhausting. Who told me I agreed with the decision to relieve Hall Master Guo of his position back then?"
Zang Xin stood up, walked over to him, and patted him on the shoulder, "Hall Master Liang, that's the right attitude. Since Hall Master Guo couldn't fulfill his duties, it has to be taught to you!"
"I have great confidence in you!!"
Liang Xiaoyu overlooked these words and asked back, "Sect Leader, are you going out?"
Zang Xin took a deep breath, "Yes, I need to make a trip to Shrek Academy for some matters I have to discuss with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"
