Back at Shrek Academy!
Above Sea God's Lake!
The entire ground had become pockmarked under the attack of the Elders from Sea God's Pavilion, as if it had been plowed by a herd of oxen…
Finally, Xie Xie stopped his actions and complained to Tang Wulin not far away, "No, Wulin, we have dug so deep, yet we haven't found anything. Could it be that Elder Qian Yu misremembered the location?"
"Or could it be that someone from Shrek Academy took it away in the past?"
Tang Wulin hesitated upon hearing this, "That seems unlikely, Elder Qian Yu is a God, he shouldn't make a mistake over such a trifling matter!"
"As for it being taken by someone else beforehand, that's not likely!"
Of course, he indeed couldn't guarantee it was this place in his heart!
He simply felt that Qian Yu wouldn't lie!
At this point, the other Elders from Sea God's Pavilion also stopped their attacks…
Xu Xiaoyan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Wulin, we don't mean to say Elder Qian Yu made a mistake, but... could it be that after leaving the Lower Realm for so long, there's some discrepancy between reality and his memory, like... it's not at Sea God's Lake, but some other place?"
Yuanen Yehui strongly agreed, "Mmm... So much time has passed since Elder Qian Yu's era, maybe everything has changed, and deviations are possible!"
Yue Zhengyu sighed, "If it doesn't work out, Wulin, why don't you ask Elder Qian Yu again? If we continue like this, we might destroy the entire Sea God's Lake!"
Xu Lizhi quickly nodded in agreement, "Yeah... If Elder Cai finds out we made such a big fuss and found nothing, things probably won't end well!"
Tang Wulin's brows furrowed deeply, "This..."
He glanced over the entire Sea God's Lake and noticed it had indeed been half-ruined…
If this continued, he wouldn't be able to explain to Elder Cai!
Not to mention, they were keeping this matter a secret from him!
Thinking of this, he made a decision…
"Everyone's right, maybe after so many years, the location where the soul weapons are buried really has some discrepancies. Let's suspend the operation in Sea God's Lake for now!"
It seemed necessary for him to make another trip to the secret chamber and tell his brother-in-law about this!
At this moment, the always silent Xie Xie suddenly spoke up, "Umm... has everyone forgotten something?"
In his mind, a frightening thought arose!
It could overturn everyone's current thoughts!
Everyone turned their puzzled gazes upon hearing this…
Tang Wulin was also surprised, "Xie Xie, whatever you have to say, just say it. We're all so familiar with each other; there's no need to beat around the bush!"
Xie Xie took a deep breath, "Actually, while we were excavating this place, I already had a thought that struck me as significant,"
"Even though it's been a while since then!"
Upon seeing this, Yue Zhengyu couldn't help urging, "Xie Xie, stop beating around the bush, what is it exactly?"
Speaking so hesitantly didn't seem like him!
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, "Yeah, Xie Xie, just get to the point. After all, Sea God's Lake is already in this state; we still need to figure out how to explain it to Elder Cai!"
Xie Xie didn't waste any more words, "Everyone should know, our current Shrek Academy was built by Tang Sect based on the Shrek Academy that was destroyed by the evil Soul Masters!"
"That is to say, this isn't the place Elder Qian Yu mentioned!"
"The true site where the soul weapons are buried is probably the ruins of the destroyed Shrek Academy!"
As those words slipped out, the atmosphere in the entire space fell silent...
The faces of everyone present became exceedingly stiff...
Noticing this, Xie Xie swallowed and said, "Uh... Did I say something wrong? If it's useless, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
It took quite a while before people gradually started to move again...
"It's all over, everything's over, the current Shrek Academy is too realistic. We've all forgotten that it's just a replica of the Shrek Academy of the past!"
"Who would have thought we could make such a low-level mistake, even forgetting the tragedy of those years. It seems we've had it too easy these past few years!"
"How on earth are we going to explain this to Elder Cai? Now that Sea God's Lake has become like this, we only just realized that the real burial site is not here!"
"Otherwise, shall we come clean to Elder Cai? This time, it was our lack of consideration—we even forgot about this matter. If it weren't for Xie Xie's timely reminder, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
"What I think is, Xie Xie, why didn't you speak up earlier? That way, we wouldn't have had to do all this futile work!"
Xie Xie scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed as he said, "I didn't really think that it was actually like this either!"
Indeed, had he brought it up earlier, Sea God's Lake might still be intact!
Tang Wulin shook his head, coming back to his senses and said, "This is not Xie Xie's fault; it's mine for not thinking things through. I'll personally tell Elder Cai about the Sea God's Lake."
Then, he looked at Xie Xie with gratitude, "Xie Xie, we owe you one this time. Otherwise, we still wouldn't know how much time we'd be wasting here!"
As the Sea God Pavilion Master, to think that he had forgotten that the present Shrek Academy was not the real Shrek Academy!
It really was quite ironic!
If Lord Yun Ming in heaven could see this, he would wonder if he'd blame me!
Xie Xie waved his hand, "Hey, no need to thank me, I'm also responsible for not reminding you sooner!"
"But, to avoid a wasted trip for everyone, I'll go ahead and check out the remains of the old Shrek Academy!"
So much time had passed, that area had become who knows what!
If it's still a vacant lot, it would be fine, but if someone built something there, acquiring those soul weapons would probably require some negotiation!
Tang Wulin didn't refuse, "Mm, then we'll leave it to you to make the trip, Xie Xie!"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
"Then everyone, I'll take my leave now!"
After a brief exchange, Xie Xie disappeared...
Only then did Tang Wulin look at the others, "Everyone, let's head back to the Sea God's Pavilion for now!"
Yuanen Yehui, however, interrupted him, saying in a grave tone, "Wulin, before that, shouldn't we deal with the few people who are secretly watching us?"
"It's likely that figures from other powers have disguised themselves as students and entered!"
She had sensed several gazes fixed on this place right from the start...
Initially, she thought they were inner court students who hadn't left yet, but later it felt more and more off...
Tang Wulin shook his head, dismissing the suggestion, "There's no need. In their eyes, we are just destroying Sea God's Lake, and it won't reveal anything!"
