Listen to Mu En's words, Xuanxi couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Mu'en to make such a vow. For a powerhouse whose cultivation has reached the limit of the Douluo Continent, their words and actions are connected to the laws of heaven and earth. A solemn oath like this is bound to be fulfilled!
"Mu Lao, you..."
There was a change in the expression on Du Bushi's face. At this moment, Mu'en was using his sense of patriotism and righteousness to morally coerce him, and Du Bushi could see that.
But Mu'en's words were also correct. Although the Body Sect acts both righteously and wickedly and does not follow common sense, it still places great importance on the inheritance of the three countries of the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, the Tianhun Empire has always supported the Body Sect, and Du Bushi cannot just stand by and watch as the Sun-Moon Empire crosses the Ming Dou Mountain Range and swallows the three countries of the Douluo Continent.
"Three years, alright, three years!" Du Bushi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Mu'en, don't think I'm a fool. I can see what kind of game your Shrek Academy is playing. You want to use this child to unravel the secrets of the Body Martial Soul? Then I can only say that you will be wasting your efforts."
"If the secret of the Body Martial Soul were so easily researched, our Body Sect would have lost its foothold long ago. However, what you said does make sense to some extent. I cannot let the Body Sect and Shrek Academy fight to the death and end up benefiting the Sun-Moon Empire. But if you want Yuhao to stay at Shrek Academy for study, I have three conditions that you must agree to." Poison Undying said.
Mu'en nodded, "Go ahead."
"First, Shrek Academy is not allowed to treat Huo Yuhao as a core disciple for these three years. We will naturally arrange all the cultivation resources for him. Don't come to us before leaving, claiming that Huo Yuhao owes Shrek Academy and demanding this and that from him. Your roundabout ways won't deceive me."
"Second, Shrek Academy is not allowed to reveal Huo Yuhao's identity as the inheritor of the Body Sect to anyone else or any other forces. Don't resort to using someone else's hand to kill, forcing the Body Sect and Shrek Academy to fight to the death!"
"Third, I will leave a guardian in Shrek City to be responsible for protecting Huo Yuhao's safety, and Shrek Academy is not allowed to interfere in this matter. After all, I've heard about your brainwashing methods of instilling the idea of upholding the honor and interests of the Academy. There must be someone here to watch over the inheritor of our Body Sect, so you don't lay eggs with borrowed chickens."
"How about it, Dragon God Douluo, can you agree to these three conditions?"
Upon hearing Du Bushi's words, Mu'en pondered for a moment and then nodded.
"I agree."
"Good, that old Xuan is unreliable, even if he makes a promise, our Sect Master won't believe it. But you, Dragon God Douluo Mu'en, are trustworthy. My brother also has a soft spot for you, hoping you will keep your promise." Du Bushi said. "I'll take Huo Yuhao away first. Three days later, he will be brought back to Shrek City by that guardian."
After saying this, a dark green light suddenly ignited on Du Bushi's body, fiercely burning a hole in the golden light of the Sea God, and as he flew out, he waved his hand in the air.
"Belonging to the Body Sect, retreat!"
More than twenty figures swiftly retreated into the distance in the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The golden light in the sky gradually receded, returning to the Sea God Pavilion.
At this moment, not only was there a stir within Shrek Academy, but the entire Shrek City was abuzz with discussion due to the miraculous events that had just occurred.
Xuanzi floated down in front of the Sea God Pavilion, joined by the four deans of the Martial Soul and Soul Guidance departments. Fan Yu, on the other hand, followed behind Qian Duoduo, with a dark bruise visible around his right eye, indicating he had taken a heavy blow.
"All members of the Sea God Pavilion, prepare for a meeting," Mu'en's gentle voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, as well as the deputy deans of the Martial Soul department, such as Cai Meier, all entered the Sea God Pavilion. The Shrek Academy elders who had released their powerful aura earlier also entered the Sea God Pavilion.
Xian Linger glanced at the silent Fan Yu behind her, snorted coldly, and turned to walk towards the Sea God Pavilion. Qian Duoduo's face was grim, following behind Xian Linger into the Sea God Pavilion.
The Sea God Pavilion had a total of six floors, each more than ten meters high, grand and majestic. However, due to the perennial mist surrounding Sea God Island, it was difficult to see clearly from the outer court of Shrek Academy.
The Sea God Pavilion was also the most important place in Shrek Academy. The academy's hall of worship was located here, as well as the confidential library, and some unknown secrets were hidden within the Sea God Pavilion, including some treasures.
Whenever Shrek Academy had major events, meetings would be held in the Sea God Pavilion, making it the highest-level meeting place. Only the deans and deputy deans of the Martial Soul and Soul Guidance departments, as well as the elders of the hall of worship, were qualified to attend, and important decisions were made by a show of hands.
It could be said that for the most high-level meetings, the simplest methods were often used for voting.
At this moment, the great hall of the Sea God Pavilion was quiet. Around the oval-shaped long table sat ten people, and at the main seat at the innermost part of the table lay a reclining chair. The area where the reclining chair was located was dimly lit, with only a faint outline of the figure of Dragon God Douluo Mu'en visible.
Xian Linger and Qian Duoduo sat at the right end of the long table, while Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier sat at the left end. Apart from the four of them, the six elders sitting in front all had gray hair and varied appearances.
Xuanzi's position was relatively closer to the front, sitting in the first position on the left side of the main seat. At this moment, his expression was very serious, with a hint of paleness, obviously having been seriously injured by Poison Undying's blow just now.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Xuan, you chair the meeting," Mu'en said.
"Me?" Xuanzi was slightly startled but still stood up.
"Alright, let me speak then. You all have vaguely seen the situation just now. The Body Sect has reappeared in the soul master world and even came to our Shrek Academy to take away a student. Shaozhe, Linger, and Duoduo, you three should have some impression of that student."
"Yes, his name is Huo Yuhao, a member of the champion team in the freshman assessment."
Yan Shaozhe had received information from Du Weilun and recounted all the events that had occurred at the freshman assessment awards ceremony in front of the elders.
"Thirty years on the east, thirty years on the west. Arrogance is good, but such overt display of strength is not advisable," an elder sitting on the left side shook his head and said.
"Hehe, the champion of the freshman assessment was abandoned by both the Soul Guidance and Martial Soul departments. Shouldn't we let the kid vent his anger and complain a little?" an elderly lady sitting in the main seat on the right side frowned slightly. "Linger, Duoduo, what's going on?"
Xian Linger snorted, while Qian Duoduo sweated on his forehead, stood up, and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, Elder Lin, it's my fault in arranging things. Linger and I have been conducting research on Soul Guidance recently, so we entrusted Fan Yu with the task of appointing Huo Yuhao as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance department. But Huo Yuhao humiliated Fan Yu's wife, Zhou Yi, in front of everyone before, which led to Fan Yu's..."
"Nonsense!" Elder Lin said angrily. "With such a temperament, how can he serve as a teacher at Shrek Academy?!"
"Fan Yu's teacher status and treatment are reduced to that of a mid-level teacher, and he is not allowed to manage any affairs of the Soul Guidance department anymore!" Xian Linger said decisively in a cold voice. "As for Zhou Yi, Shaozhe, what do you have to say?"
"Zhou Yi's teacher status and treatment are reduced to that of a low-level teacher, and she will not serve as the class teacher of any class in the outer court in the future," Yan Shaozhe also said indifferently.
