Family Members: You're Really Ruthless!

"From now on, other than leaving behind descendants, don't do anything else. The things you've done have made you look like a clown in the eyes of every major sect and royal family."

Mu En was finally speaking his true feelings to his martial nephew.

With the things Xuan Zi had done, a rank-98 Title Douluo had failed to protect students against Soul Emperors, Soul Saints, or even ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Could someone like that really be called the next successor of Sea God Pavilion?!

Even Evil Soul Masters found Xuan Zi's actions utterly absurd.

They were simply absurd beyond all reason.

Any country that had someone like Xuan Zi would consider itself terribly unlucky.

After all, a rank-98 Super Douluo, only one step away from becoming an Ultimate Douluo, could not even protect a few students. Whoever had such a person under their command would feel cursed by bad luck.

Killing him felt like a waste, but using him would bring endless trouble.

His only use was as breeding stock for outstanding Soul Master bloodlines, producing a batch of powerful Soul Masters.

"Elder Xuan."

Lin Huiqun stepped forward and spoke.

"Let me be honest. I find you quite disgusting. With all the things you've done, you'd better admit your mistakes immediately. Sea God Pavilion will do its best to pacify the victims and compensate them and their families for their losses. As for you, just obediently focus on having children and serving as breeding stock. Produce a batch of excellent Taotie Bloodlines and add a group of powerful fighters to Shrek's future. That way, Shrek can continue to endure. Otherwise, after everything you've done, we truly don't want to keep cleaning up your mess."

After hearing this, Xuan Zi understood what everyone meant. They wanted him to become breeding stock, obediently have children, and produce a group of outstanding children with the Taotie Bloodline for Shrek.

At that moment, Xuan Zi also realized that he was nearly unable to keep his place.

"I'll take you to apologize to those people. Apologize properly. Don't think about dodging responsibility. Otherwise, there's nothing we can do to help you. If they hit you or throw things at you, don't fight back. This is the responsibility you must bear."

"No matter what, you have to give the families of those children an explanation. Just accept it."

"Understood."

"We'll all accompany you. We must give the victims' families a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. This matter concerns Shrek's very foundation."

Qian Duoduo said.

Soon afterward, all the members of Sea God Pavilion arrived at the gates of Shrek Academy and saw the families of the victims.

"Hand Xuan Zi over! That man is a spy planted by the evil soul masters! Our children died facing ten-thousand-year soul beasts, Soul Emperors, and Soul Saint-level Evil Soul Masters, yet no one has given us a satisfactory explanation or compensation! Just a few hundred Gold Soul Coins! Are our children worth only a few hundred Gold Soul Coins?!"

"That's right! We want Xuan Zi to accompany our dead children in death!"

The victims' families were consumed by hatred. At this moment, they insisted that Xuan Zi had to die.

"You..."

"Xuan Zi." Mu En glanced at Xuan Zi. Seeing the look in his elder's eyes, Xuan Zi understood. He should obediently kneel and behave himself.

"Could everyone let me say a few words?"

Mu En stepped forward and spoke.

"You're Mu En, the master of Sea God Pavilion, aren't you? Xuan Zi is your martial nephew, but during missions, he never properly protected our students. Every time, many students died. Have you ever considered how the families of the victims felt? Even now, you haven't punished him. He hasn't received even the slightest punishment. Every time, all you offer us is Gold Soul Coins. Are our children's vibrant lives worth nothing but Gold Soul Coins?!!!!"

"That's right! And you keep saying it's for Shrek's glory. Does Shrek's glory mean our children have to die?!!!"

The victims' families were filled with boundless hatred. Their children had to die for Shrek's so-called glory—no family could possibly accept that. They had also invested so much in their children, only for those investments to go down the drain. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept it.

By both emotion and reason, the victims' families would never easily let Xuan Zi off. Unless Xuan Zi lost an arm or a leg, they would not let him off lightly.

"Everyone, I know my martial nephew has caused you much trouble, and the deaths of your family members have caused us deep sorrow as well. You may think that we let your students die for Shrek's glory. I know you may see it that way, but that is not how I see it. Many people may think so, because the more outstanding the students are, the more they prove Shrek's excellence. Xuan Zi certainly did not deliberately want the students to die, because the more outstanding students there are, the more they prove Shrek's capabilities."

"But to all the families here, Shrek will certainly give a satisfactory answer for your children's deaths, and the compensation will certainly be sufficient. Here and now, I announce that Xuan Zi's position as an elder of Sea God Pavilion is completely abolished. Someone else will replace him in the future. At the same time, I will compensate every family for the children you have lost and give you a satisfactory explanation. State whatever you need without hesitation. We will absolutely not lay a hand on you. If even a single family member among you suffers any harm, I, Mu En, will cut off my own head and let you kick it around!"

"!!!" x n

Upon hearing those words, the families stared at the master of Sea God Pavilion in shock. An Ultimate Douluo had already begun to connect with certain laws of heaven and earth. Having made such a grave declaration, if any of their family members truly came to harm, his head really would be cut off and kicked around like a ball.

At that moment, everyone saw Shrek's sincerity. Seeing the master of Sea God Pavilion make such a grave vow and show such enormous sincerity, they began to understand that Shrek was serious this time.

Shrek would give everyone satisfactory compensation and an explanation, while Xuan Zi was no longer a member of Sea God Pavilion.

Thus, their anger subsided somewhat.
