Sea God Pavilion Meeting Convened on Short Notice

The towering pillar of light on Sea God Island vanished, and the dazzling golden light, like receding tide, slowly dissipated into the sky.

The Golden Tree, which had been trembling, returned to calm. Its golden leaves stopped rustling, and the entire Golden Tree fell silent again, like a giant that had fallen asleep once more.

At the edge of Sea God Island, the last few strands of golden light merged into Huo Yuhao's chest, and everything around him seemed to have returned to normal.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Gu Yue's concerned gaze.

He smiled first, indicating that there was no need to worry.

He then instantly noticed the changes in his surroundings.

He didn't even need to look up; the powerful auras in the surrounding sky naturally couldn't escape his perception.

Although his consciousness had been immersed in the world constructed by the Golden Tree, he was almost completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.

However, he could also guess that the unusual activity of the Golden Tree must have caused quite a stir, otherwise these powerful figures from the Shrek Academy wouldn't be "circling" around him.

Yun Ming, as the Sea God Pavilion Master, was the first to speak.

"Yuhao, do you know what just happened?"

Although Huo Yuhao is only thirteen years old, under Leng Yaozhu's tutelage, he is no longer a student with clear eyes and naivety.

His mind raced as he considered how to answer the question.

A moment later, he raised his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his Spirit Eyes.

"I'm not quite sure what happened either."

Although the Divine Realm has disappeared ten thousand years later, Tang San should be unable to contact Shrek Academy.

However, Huo Yuhao has not yet revealed Elder Jin's existence, since Shrek Academy was unaware of his existence.

He must keep this secret.

Yun Ming's expression was serious, and his handsome face was expressionless.

A thoughtful look flashed in his deep eyes, then he said, "Come back to the Sea God Pavilion with me. I have some questions for you."

His tone left no room for negotiation, only an unwavering firmness that brooked no refusal.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao felt his body rise into the air uncontrollably, as if being lifted up by an invisible hand.

He didn't struggle; he could only let that force carry him, following behind Yun Ming, towards the center of Sea God Island.

The other Elder followed closely behind, their aged eyes gleaming with different lights.

Clearly, everyone knows this matter won't end so easily.

The unusual activity of the Golden Tree was unprecedented in ten thousand years; they had to find out what was happening.

In the blink of an eye, only Gu Yue, Na'er, and Xu Xiaoyan remained on the edge of Sea God Island.

A hint of nervousness flashed across Xu Xiaoyan's face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.

She looked at Na'er, her voice trembling slightly. "Na'er, will something have happened to Yuhao?"

The scene just now really frightened her. In all her life, this was the first time she had ever seen so many Titled Douluo.

Na'er's stunningly beautiful face turned unusually serious at this moment.

Those silver eyes no longer held their usual playful laughter; only a serene light remained.

"Shrek Academy is reasonable; they probably just want to understand what happened. Yuhao won't be in danger."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan felt relieved.

She let out a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the tension on her face gradually faded.

Gu Yue remained silent, a resolute glint flashing in her purple eyes.

Then, a streak of azure light instantly enveloped her.

She controlled the wind element and flew towards the Sea God Lake.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan quickly asked, "Gu Yue, where are you going?"

Gu Yue didn't turn her head; the voice came from the wind. "Return to the Spirit Pagoda!"

She didn't have that much trust in the Shrek Academy.

We should inform teacher Leng Yaozhu about this matter.

Sea God Pavilion, the core of the Shrek Academy, where countless important decisions of the academy have been made over the past 20,000 years.

Normally, anyone below the rank of Titled Douluo cannot enter the Sea God Pavilion.

That's the rule, and it's tradition.

But today, Huo Yuhao, the Soul Emperor, has entered.

On the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, a long table is placed in the simple and elegant hall.

The long table was carved from a single piece of Golden Wood, with clear grain and a warm luster.

The gentle afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing half of the space Sea God Pavilion in a golden hue.

At this moment, the long table was almost full of people, each of whom was Elder of the Shrek Academy and a powerful expert at the Titled Douluo level.

Some had white hair and beards, others had resolute faces, some had kind eyes and gentle features, and others were as cold as frost.

Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming sat at the head of the long table, and opposite him, at the far end of the long table near the door, sat Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, all the Elder in the Sea God Pavilion focused their attention on Huo Yuhao.

Those gazes held scrutiny, curiosity, suspicion, and a complex mix of emotions that were hard to define.

They were all sizing up the boy who had caused the Golden Tree to tremble.

Despite the gazes of so many powerful figures, Huo Yuhao remained calm, his handsome face showing no sign of panic.

His voice was calm and clear as he recounted what had happened.

He concealed the existence of Elder Jin, only saying that he had come to a golden space and that he felt completely comfortable, without knowing anything else.

Although many of the Elder were unsure whether he was telling the truth, Huo Yuhao's composure had already earned him a higher regard from many.

To remain so composed in such a setting, facing so many powerful figures, this young man is no ordinary person.

"Yuhao, you go outside first, but don't go far. We need to discuss this."

Yun Ming's voice rang out, and Huo Yuhao nodded, then stood up and turned to walk out of the Sea God Pavilion.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, he didn't go far, just stood at the entrance.

He was also very curious about the matters that the Elder would be discussing next.

What judgment will they make regarding the unusual activity of the Golden Tree?

How will they treat themselves?

After Huo Yuhao left, Yun Ming glanced at everyone.

He then said, "Everyone, please share your thoughts."

After Yun Ming asked this question, the Elder naturally began to speak freely.

The sounds rose and fell, surging in like a tide.

"The Golden Tree has never shown such unusual behavior before; I feel this matter is not simple."

"That's right. The Golden Tree is one of the foundations and core strengths of the academy, and it absolutely cannot be lost. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

"The child doesn't seem to be lying; perhaps he really doesn't know anything."

"Whether he knows it or not, I think we should thoroughly examine the Golden Tree, and this Huo Yuhao as well!"

The Elder spoke one after another, some supporting the investigation, some advocating leniency, some doubting Huo Yuhao, and some believing in him.

Various opinions intertwined, like a complex web.

Yun Ming remained silent throughout, simply sitting there quietly and listening to everyone's remarks.

He could tell that the vast majority of people supported a thorough investigation.

Exploring the Golden Tree is relatively straightforward, but Huo Yuhao, this young man, is a real challenge.

Even teachers shouldn't pry into a student's secrets, let alone Huo Yuhao, who is a member of the Spirit Pagoda.

After the noise subsided, Long Yeyue, who was sitting to Yun Ming's left, spoke up.
