Passing the Buck! This Was the Clear Sky Sect's Ten-Thousand-Year Tradition
Tai Tan showed Mu En no respect whatsoever, and immediately launched into a tirade against the messenger.
They had heard from the Shrek Academy that the guy Mu En sent out to try and reach an agreement with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy was thoroughly humiliated by the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, who said they would never associate with the Shrek Academy under any circumstances.
This means that Mu En's so-called plan has completely failed, and they can no longer expect Mu En to bring Wang Dong'er from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy to the Clear Sky Sect.
That's why Niu Tian and Tai Tan naturally wouldn't give the Shrek Academy students a friendly look.
However, Tai Tan's words were somewhat unexpected by the guy who was responsible for relaying the message.
He truly hadn't expected that there would be someone in the Clear Sky Sect who could be compared to Xuan Zi.
After these words were spoken, the image of the Clear Sky Sect in the minds of people across the entire continent was completely set!
Even if the mainland Destruction by those Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, it has nothing to do with their Clear Sky Sect.
'No, we must go back immediately and relay these words to Mu En!'
With this in mind, he didn't waste any more time at the Clear Sky Sect. He bid farewell to Niu Tian and Tai Tan and started returning to the Shrek Academy as quickly as possible.
This trip to the Clear Sky Sect has yielded even greater results than expected.
Watching the Shrek Academy student's departing figure, Niu Tian frowned, feeling that something was amiss. He wanted to warn the guy not to spread Tai Tan's words, so he stood up, turned around, and scolded Tai Tan.
"Why did you say those things? Don't you know that would have a negative impact on the Clear Sky Sect?"
Tai Tan remained nonchalant, waving his hand dismissively.
"What impact could it have? Isn't that how the Clear Sky Sect is? No matter what turmoil occurs on the continent, it has nothing to do with them. They just want to hide away and live their own lives. They don't even care when their own forces suffer. Hasn't it been like this for ten thousand years?"
"Besides, do you really consider the Clear Sky Sect your home? Although we are nominally the Sect Master Second Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, what do the affairs of the Clear Sky Sect have to do with us? Do you think they would actually go if we asked them to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Niu Tian had nothing to say.
Ten thousand years have passed, and the continent has long forgotten what the Clear Sky Sect did back then. But those who know the truth are well aware that the Clear Sky Sect has never taken any responsibility. As long as it doesn't affect them, the lives of outsiders are completely irrelevant to them.
Just as Tai Tan said, even though they are now the Sect Master and Second Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, if it were to ask the Clear Sky Sect to risk their lives to deal with those Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, the people of the Clear Sky Sect might not necessarily take action.
Realizing this, Niu Tian gave up the idea of warning that guy and sat down directly, no longer worrying about whether the trouble the Holy Spirit Cult had caused in the Dou Ling Empire would affect the Clear Sky Sect.
Shortly after Mu En returned to the Shrek Academy with Xu Sanshi and Xue Lingxun, the guy who was in charge of asking Clear Sky Sect for help returned and reported Tai Tan's attitude to Mu En.
Upon hearing this guy's description, Mu En's expression immediately became somewhat strange, and the other members of the Sea God Pavilion also involuntarily turned their gazes to Xuan Zi.
I always felt that the Second Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect was the Xuan Zi of the Clear Sky Sect.
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Xuanzi, who had just laughed and wanted to mock Tai Tan, suddenly lost interest in the Xuan Zi. He glared angrily at the members of the Sea God Pavilion except for Mu En and said indignantly.
"What are you guys looking at me for? What do you mean by this?"
Xuan Zi was furious.
What does "damn it" mean?
These guys are trying to say that Tai Tan are just as stupid as they are, right?
Zhuang Lao coughed twice to reassure him.
"Xuan Zi, why are you so sensitive? People only glanced at you because they were thinking about your battle with Tai Tan last time."
It would have been better if Zhuang Lao hadn't brought this up; the moment he did, Xuan Zi's face darkened even more.
Is that what you call a fight? It was clearly him getting completely thrashed by that guy Tai Tan!
Seeing that these guys had unknowingly gone off-topic again, Mu En frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table to draw everyone's attention to himself, and said in a deep voice.
"Alright, let's leave it at that."
"From now on, we will spread the word that anyone who is worried about their safety, regardless of whether they are from the Dou Ling Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, or the Star Luo Empire, can move to Shrek City. Shrek Academy will do everything in its power to protect them and prevent them from being harmed by the Holy Spirit Cult."
"At the same time, news has spread that after learning about what happened in the Dou Ling Empire, Shrek Academy was determined to expel the Holy Spirit Cult from the Dou Ling Empire at all costs. However, due to the refusal of the Clear Sky Sect, we can only do so much. This matter must be spread secretly, and absolutely not by anyone from the Shrek Academy! Do you understand?"
Mu En felt that if he hadn't added that last sentence, these guys with only a little bit of brains would likely have openly shirked responsibility and pinned the blame on the Clear Sky Sect.
It wasn't that he looked down on Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion; on the contrary, he overestimated them, which led to the current situation!
We can't give them another chance to sabotage Shrek Academy.
After everyone nodded in agreement, Mu En looked at Xuan Zi and spoke.
"Xuan Zi, what you need to do next is to lead people to search for traces of the Immortal Herb throughout the continent. Do everything you can to find Immortal Herb! Only in this way will Shrek Academy truly have a chance to overcome this crisis and rise to prominence!"
Mu En was not as optimistic as he appeared.
He knew just how terrifyingly talented those kids from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy were in this Soul Master Competition. Unlike others, Mu En didn't comfort himself by saying that Huo Yuhao and the others had only reached that level by consuming a lot of magic Immortal Herb that squeezed out their potential because they wanted to win the championship so badly.
Their talent far exceeded Mu En's expectations.
If things continue like this, once Huo Yuhao and those girls have fully grown up, Shrek Academy will have no chance to turn the tide.
Only by finding the Immortal Herb and transforming the talents of Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin, and others can Shrek Academy have a chance to become great again!
Upon hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi nodded in agreement without the Sisi hesitation.
"Don't worry, Mu En, if I can't find the Immortal Herb, I won't have the face to go back to the academy!"
For a moment, the Sea God Pavilion Elder present all looked at each other with strange expressions.
Why does it feel like Xuan Zi said that on purpose?
Take this opportunity to leave Shrek, which is gradually changing, and get away from Mu En, who is putting him under increasing pressure, so that he can have a good time outside.
Although thinking this way might make them seem a bit cynical and unfair to Xuan Zi.
But the more I think about it, the more reasonable this guess seems, and it's very much in line with Xuan Zi's consistent style of doing things!
