"Elder Mu, I..."
Before Xuan Zi could finish, Mu En raised a hand and cut him off.
"Say no more."
Mu En's voice sounded somewhat weary. "Convene a Sea God's Pavilion meeting."
For the people of Shrek, a Sea God's Pavilion meeting was only convened in an emergency, when they faced a life-or-death crisis.
It had only been a few years since Yan Shaozhe convened the last meeting, yet another Sea God's Pavilion meeting was being called.
After hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi immediately convened the Sea God's Pavilion meeting.
This time, Xuan Zi was no longer the last to arrive. He and Mu En were the first to enter.
Elder Song, Elder Lin, and Elder Zhuang arrived at Sea God's Pavilion almost simultaneously.
Before Elder Song had even entered, she asked,
"What happened? Why was a Sea God's Pavilion meeting convened?"
However, the moment they entered, they noticed Xuan Zi's tattered clothing and the embarrassed look on his face.
An overwhelming sense of unease instantly rose from the depths of their hearts.
Because they discovered that all four people who had gone to the Extreme North were absent from their seats.
Combined with Xuan Zi's appearance and the desolate expression on Mu En's face,
they seemed to understand everything.
Yet before hearing it with their own ears, they were still unwilling to believe it.
How could four perfectly fine people encounter trouble after merely making a trip to the Extreme North?
Elder Zhuang asked gravely, "Elder Mu, what happened to Shaozhe and the others?"
Mu En, seated in the main chair, said nothing, because he truly found it difficult to speak.
Among all the Pavilion Masters throughout history, there had never been one like him, Mu En, who had suffered such severe casualties during his tenure.
