Zhang Lexuan arrived beside the dying Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor, her face complex, her eyes flashing with hatred, killing intent, and sorrow.
Looking at this silver flood dragon, which still appeared mysterious and elegant even when on the verge of death, she couldn’t help but recall her junior brothers and sisters who had been cruelly murdered by this flood dragon.
She could no longer hold back.
A silver light flashed in her hand, and the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor’s head fell, a red spirit ring slowly emerging.
She gave the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor a quick end and did not torment it to vent her hatred, as she did not have a preference for torturing enemies.
Looking at the red spirit ring before her, Zhang Lexuan glanced back at Ji Lin, then sat cross-legged, slowly guiding the spirit ring with her spirit power, and began to absorb it.
Just as Zhang Lexuan was absorbing the spirit ring, Xuan Old Man, who was leading three Inner Courtyard disciples, had already arrived at Shrek City.
The 98-level Super Douluo had rushed at full speed, finally making it back to the Academy before the three severely injured disciples’ conditions worsened.
He handed the three heavily injured Inner Courtyard disciples over to the healing-type Spirit Masters, and a relieved Xuan Old Man sat on the steps, looking utterly disheartened.
Several hours later, Elder Xuan, with disheveled hair, sat on the steps, pouring wine into his mouth.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and an old man in white robes walked over.
“How are they doing?” The white-robed old man stood respectfully behind Elder Xuan and said, “Their condition has stabilized.
You brought them back in time.
Their lives are no longer in danger.” Elder Xuan exhaled a breath of wine and sighed, “That’s good.” Just then, a person walked in from outside the courtyard.
It was none other than Yan Shaozhe, the Head of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy.
“Elder Xuan, the Sea God Pavilion meeting you proposed has been prepared.
You…” When Xuan Old Man handed the three Inner Courtyard disciples over to the healing-type Spirit Masters for treatment, he also used his mental force to inform Yan Shaozhe, asking him to notify the other Sea God Pavilion members to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting.
“Let’s go.” Elder Xuan stood up and walked out, his figure clearly a bit desolate.
Yan Shaozhe followed behind Elder Xuan, sighing inwardly.
This unexpected incident seemed to have dealt a great blow to Elder Xuan, but he didn’t know how to comfort him.
After all, he was also heartbroken; they had lost a total of 8 Inner Courtyard disciples!
Those were part of Shrek Academy’s future foundation!
“Elder Xuan, this incident cannot be entirely blamed on you.
Don’t blame yourself too much,” Yan Shaozhe could only advise in a low voice.
Elder Xuan did not speak, only shook his head dejectedly.
Sea God Pavilion.
There was no difference from a normal Sea God Pavilion meeting, but the atmosphere was even more solemn.
Elder Mu, sitting in the main seat, still lay in his reclining chair, his appearance unclear.
On either side, below him, were Elder Lin and Elder Xuan.
The four heads and vice-heads of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance System still sat at the very end.
Elder Mu’s gentle voice sounded, “Speak, Xuan Old Man, why did you propose to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting?” Elder Xuan nodded, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice, “Everyone already knows about this matter.
Out of 12 Inner Courtyard disciples, 8 died, and three were severely injured and unconscious.
Only the girl Le Xuan escaped harm.
If it weren’t for Red Kite Douluo of the Star Luo Empire Imperial Worship Hall happening to be taking her disciple to the Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone to hunt for spirit rings, and coincidentally encountering them and timely saving the girl Le Xuan, I’m afraid even she…” Elder Xuan paused, then continued, “As the leader of the team, I am duty-bound.
Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as Vice-Head of the Shrek Monitoring Group and withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion, becoming just an idle person in the Academy.” As soon as Elder Xuan said this, everyone was shocked.
One must know that his status in the Academy was second only to Elder Mu, who was lying in the reclining chair.
He was also an absolute elder of the Academy, and his cultivation was almost on par with Elder Mu.
If Elder Mu were to pass away, then he would be the first in line to inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master.
Only then would it be Elder Lin’s turn, who was on the opposite side.
The Head of the Shrek Monitoring Group was Elder Mu, and there was only one Vice-Head, which was Elder Xuan.
For nearly fifty years, all the most outstanding Inner Courtyard disciples who represented the Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament were led by Elder Xuan.
His sudden proposal to resign from all his positions, how could it not shock the Sea God Pavilion meeting?
Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in shock, “Elder Xuan, how can this be?
No one can guarantee against mistakes, and besides, the responsibility for this is not entirely yours.
No one expected Le Xuan and the others to encounter a 100,000-year Spirit Beast in the mixed zone.
If it weren’t for a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, with Le Xuan and their strength, they could have retreated safely.
Elder Xuan, you are one of the pillars of the Academy; the Academy cannot be without you!” Elder Xuan sighed and said, “Shao Zhe, don’t say anymore.
If I had always stayed by their side, how could such a thing have happened?
My Spirit determines that I am not suitable for the position of Vice-Head of the Shrek Monitoring Group.
I have already made up my mind.
The deaths of 8 Inner Courtyard disciples truly pain me deeply.
I must give an explanation to the deceased disciples, to their families, and to the Academy.
This responsibility can only be borne by me.” Dean Xian Liner, the Head of the Soul Guidance System, also spoke, “Elder Xuan, please stay.
Although your Spirit, Gluttonous Divine Ox, requires you to eat for long periods, this does not affect your abilities!
Your contributions to the Academy over these years are obvious to all.
We are all saddened by the casualties among the Inner Courtyard disciples, but we cannot give up for fear of a slight risk.
If you leave, that would be the greatest loss to the Academy.” Elder Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, “If it weren’t for good luck this time, the girl Le Xuan might have died at the hands of that 100,000-year Spirit Beast.
She was already in a desperate situation at the time.
If Red Kite Douluo hadn’t acted in time to save the girl Le Xuan, I’m afraid even the Academy’s next Sea God Pavilion Master candidate would have been lost in my hands.
Such a major mistake makes me feel no face to continue staying in the Sea God Pavilion.
You don’t need to persuade me anymore; my mind is made up.
The families of the 8 Inner Courtyard disciples all have considerable influence.
I still need to visit each of their families and try my best to alleviate their sorrow.
Everyone, farewell for now.” Saying that, he stood up and turned to walk out.
“Come back.” A flat but invisibly authoritative voice sounded.
The two words were spoken calmly, but Elder Xuan, who had already started to move, stopped dead in his tracks.
“Elder Mu.
I really have no face to stay any longer.” Elder Xuan had his back to everyone, his body trembling slightly.
Only he himself knew how much pain he was enduring in his heart.
“I told you to come back, didn’t you hear me?” Elder Mu’s tone deepened a few points.
Elder Xuan’s body trembled slightly.
How many years had it been since he heard any emotional fluctuation in Elder Mu’s tone?
Eighty years or a hundred years?
Although he was extremely unwilling, he still turned back and sat down in his seat again.
Even the others, feeling the anger in Elder Mu’s tone, unconsciously straightened their bodies.
Each of them was silent, not daring to make a sound.
Among those present, among the elders, the most respected in terms of seniority were Elder Xuan and Elder Lin.
But even they, in terms of seniority, were a generation younger than Elder Mu.
Elder Mu was the last disciple of Elder Xuan’s grandmaster.
He was also the youngest disciple.
This meant that Elder Mu was actually Elder Xuan’s junior grand-uncle.
In terms of age, Elder Mu was only a dozen years older than Elder Xuan.
But his contributions to the Academy and his strength made him truly the number one person in Shrek Academy.
