"I didn't ask you to speak," Qian Chen said coldly. Then, with a single glance, Yu Tao felt a chill run down his spine, as if he dared not utter another word.
Wang Dong'er walked up to Qian Chen, pointed at Yu Tao, and said directly, "Teacher, it was him who slapped me."
"Then why did he only hit you? What did you say? Or what did you do?"
Hearing Qian Chen's words, Wang Dong'er felt extremely uneasy. She understood that her words criticizing the Body Sect seemed wrong, but since Qian Chen had already asked, she felt there was no need to hide anything. "Teacher, I said the Body Sect is a very closed and strange sect, and they are not good people."
After listening, Qian Chen thought for a moment and said, " Dong'er, you're absolutely right that the Body Sect is closed off and strange. The Body Sect is indeed that kind of sect. But saying they're not good people is just your own opinion. That's not right. The Body Sect does like to act according to their own preferences, but they haven't done anything bad."
Hearing Qian Chen Chen's fair assessment, Lang Ya and Yu Tao both breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Dong'er nodded and said, "Teacher, I know I was wrong."
"Alright, now that you know you were wrong, apologize to the two seniors of the Body Sect for your words and actions!"
Hearing Qian Chen's words, Wang Dong'er's pent-up grievances reached their peak, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. Behind her Wang Yan, Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and others hurriedly called out, "Dean Qian Chen!" "Teacher!" "Big Brother!"
Qian Chen pretended not to see and raised his hand to interrupt them. Wang Dong'er had no choice but to suppress her grievances and said to Lang Ya and Yu Tao, "Seniors of the Body Sect, I misspoke. I'm sorry."
Just when Lang Ya and Yu Tao thought the matter was over, Yu Tao, who had been the one who had hit someone, felt a powerful pressure of Soul Power pressing down on him like a small mountain. Instantly, he was unable to move.
"I don't like taking advantage of others, and I certainly won't tolerate others taking advantage of me. My disciple, Wang Dong'er, is just a child; she was just saying something casually. As Soul Douluo powerhouse, isn't it going too far to hit a child like that!" Qian Chen's words instantly made Lang Ya and Yu Tao's hearts sink.
Then Qian Chen turned to Wang Dong'er and said, " Dong'er, go, who hit you just now? How did they hit you? Go and return it."
Wang Dong'er immediately understood that her teacher wasn't afraid of the Body Sect, but rather wanted her to take revenge in a legitimate way. The grievances she felt vanished without a trace thanks to Qian Chen's actions. She went to Yu Tao and glanced back at Qian Chen one last time.
"If you dare to use your Soul Power to resist, I don't mind letting my disciple slap you a few more times," Qian Chen said to Yu Tao. Then he turned to Wang Dong'er and nodded.
A crisp "slap" rang out. Yu Tao heard Qian Chen's threat and naturally dared not resist, so he could only take the slap from Wang Dong'er with his face. Although no five-finger mark appeared on his face, it turned red.
In everyone's eyes, Qian Chen was helping Wang Dong'er vent her anger. But in Qian Chen's heart, he not only helped Wang Dong'er vent her anger, but more importantly, he knew that the Body Sect was very protective of its own, and in Tang San's eyes, he couldn't openly send Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect.
He needed someone influential behind the Body Sect to intervene. He was only sending Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect to study, not actually handing Huo Yuhao over. He had to lure a high-ranking member of the Body Sect Body Sect into coming forward so they could discuss the terms later, instead of wasting time with Lang Ya and Yu Tao, these two minor Soul Douluo.
Wang Dong'er let out a long sigh of relief, walked up to Qian Chen Qian Chen, and said, "Teacher, thank you. I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't speak so recklessly again next time."
"Okay, get back to the team."
"Yes." After saying that, Wang Dong'er immediately returned to the Shrek Academy Team.
Qian Chen looked at Lang Ya and Yu Tao again and said, "If you two feel that I have acted unfairly, feel free to report it to your Body Sect Master and Elders. But I have discovered that you two have deliberately exaggerated the facts and distorted the truth. No matter where you are hiding, I will wipe you off the Douluo Continent."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Heavenly Sword Douluo," Lang Ya and Yu Tao replied immediately.
"Go ahead," Qian Chen said casually, as if what had just happened was insignificant.
Lang Ya and Yu Tao immediately scrambled away. Not long after they left, Xiao Xiao and Qian Guyi finally arrived at the Star Luo Empire Hotel, carrying their Flying Soul Tool.
At this point, the Shrek Academy Team had only nine members left, a full half gone. Chen Zifeng and Xi Xi were completely destroyed in the Death Messenger's lair, Yao Haoxuan was left with only half a body and died from his serious injuries, He Caitou's throat was broken by falling rocks, and he died on the spot.
Then Dai Huabin was captured by the Death Messenger and his fate is now unknown. His brothers, Dai Yueheng and Gongyang Mo, both lost their legs and became disabled. Finally, his fiancée Zhu Lu, and his brother Dai Yueheng, also dropped out of school and never returned after leaving the team.
Gongyang Mo, along with the remains of Yao Haoxuan He Caitou, had already been sent back to the Shrek Academy by carriage arranged by Wang Yan.
Qian Chen addressed the remaining group, saying, "Let's go back to the academy."
"Yes," everyone answered in unison.
Shrek Academy was one of the academies that stayed in Star Luo City the longest. After the Shrek Academy Team left, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team also celebrated in Star Luo City for a few days before returning to the Sun Moon Empire, led by Elder Ma.
In a typical residential courtyard in Star Luo City, at the Star Luo City branch altar of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu sat in the main seat, his face so gloomy it looked as if it were about to drip water.
Although the trusted subordinates who were injured by the ice spikes of Qian Chen 'Ultimate Ice did not die immediately, the wounds caused by the Ultimate Ice were impossible to heal. During the Soul Master Tournament, all of these trusted subordinates died one after another.
Meanwhile, his wife, Feng Ling, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, has been searched for by all the members of the branch for so long, yet there is still no trace of her.
"Reporting to the Master, the last team to participate in the Soul Master Tournament, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, has left Star Luo City. Star Luo City has now returned to normal. May I ask the Master, should we continue searching for the Vice Master?" The head of the Star Luo City Holy Spirit Cult Sect branch, kneeling below Zhongli Wu, stammered as he asked.
Zhongli Wu remained seated in the main seat. He took a deep breath and finally said, "No need."
Upon hearing Zhongli Wu's words, the leader of the Star Luo City branch was secretly delighted, finally relieved that he wouldn't have to work so hard anymore. Then he saw Zhongli Wu appear before him like a phantom.
Zhongli Wu kicked out directly, and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult of Star Luo City was Zhongli Wu flying without even being able to react.
The Fourth Elder, Netherworld Douluo, stood to the side, still clutching his Netherworld Sword, as if everything was irrelevant to him.
"Fourth Elder, let's go. We've wasted too much time in Star Luo City. Come back to headquarters with me; it's time to seek revenge on the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Yes," the Netherworld Douluo replied coldly.
Just as Zhongli Wu decided to return to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, a woman dressed in black with an extremely beautiful appearance finally arrived at the gates of Shrek City. It was none other than Feng Ling, whom Zhongli Wu had been searching for.
Feng Ling looked at Shrek City, as if in a different world, and whispered, " Yan Shaozhe, I'm here."
