Shrek Academy, Sea God Island
"Princess Jiujiu, Princess Vina, Jing Hongchen has been stripped of his position as master of Bright Virtue Hall by Xu Tianran. The plan can proceed."
Jiang Ming sat in the open space outside the lakeside cottage, gazing at the shimmering Sea God Lake before him as he spoke softly.
Princess Jiujiu and Princess Vina were not beside him. They were merely communicating through a Voice Transmission Soul Tool.
"Jing Hongchen is no longer the master of Bright Virtue Hall?"
Xu Jiu Jiu was somewhat surprised. Though they had anticipated this outcome, it had happened far too quickly.
It had only been a few days.
"I haven't received any news on my end yet. Jiang Ming, you..."
As the head of Star Luo Empire's intelligence department, Xu Jiu Jiu was exceptionally sensitive to the speed at which information traveled.
She had not heard a single thing, yet Jiang Ming already had confirmed news. The gap in the speed of their intelligence networks was simply too great!
"Rest assured, the source is absolutely reliable. I also learned that after Jing Hongchen stepped down as master of Bright Virtue Hall, he vanished. My guess is that Xu Tianran transferred him to some secret department."
Jiang Ming spoke softly as he cast his fishing rod into Sea God Lake.
"A secret department?"
Vina was puzzled.
Jiang Ming continued, "Jing Hongchen is, after all, one of the Sun Moon Empire's top five Rank 9 Soul Masters—perhaps even top three. Even if Xu Tianran removed him from his position as master of Bright Virtue Hall, he definitely wouldn't let him sit idle. Rank 9 Soul Masters... If I'm not mistaken, he should be making Rank 9 Fixed Soul Cannonballs with a group of Rank 9 Soul Masters from the Sun Moon
