Chapter 128 The Annual Blame-Shifting Contest
Shrek Academy, somewhere on Poseidon Island.
Xuanzi gulped down the wine, looking as if he was about to get completely drunk.
"Elder Xuan, the condition of the students you brought back has stabilized." An elderly man in white bowed respectfully to Xuanzi and explained the condition of the students that Xuanzi had brought back.
"Fortunately, you brought them back in time. Their lives are not in danger now. The poison they were poisoned with was corpse poison. Fortunately, it was the only type of poison, and the academy had a way to deal with it before."
"Chen Zifeng has also been examined by the Soul Guidance Department. They said that making a prosthetic leg for Chen Zifeng is not a problem. Although it will not be as convenient as his own body in terms of movement, at least he can stand up again. Moreover, with Chen Zifeng's martial soul, his strength should not be greatly affected."
"As for those core disciples of the outer academy... the injuries they suffered were not particularly serious, and any physical damage could be repaired, so they were fortunate amidst misfortune."
"That's good." Xuanzi stopped drinking, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude.
At this moment, another elderly man in white robes walked over.
Xuanzi didn't turn around, and said directly, "Shaozhe, is the Sea God Pavilion meeting ready?"
Looking at Xuanzi's hunched and forlorn figure, Yan Shaozhe sighed inwardly and said, "Elder Xuan, everything is ready."
Every meeting of the Sea God Pavilion is bound to be a significant event that influences the entire Douluo Continent.
Yan Shaozhe could roughly guess what the Sea God Pavilion meeting was about, since Xuanzi had taken the initiative to convene it.
"Elder Xuan, please don't blame yourself too much. Who would have thought that a Soul King would have such methods? This incident was due to luck, and it was by no means your fault," Yan Shaozhe comforted him.
"And if we really have to say who made a mistake, I was also at fault this time. If I hadn't made that suggestion to you, you wouldn't have been so distracted, and perhaps Wang Yan would have noticed some details and thus avoided the casualties."
"Moreover, the fact that the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire have been targeting the Death Hand organization for so long without obtaining this kind of intelligence also shows that their intelligence work is really terrible."
"With sufficient intelligence and Elder Xuan overseeing things, how could the Grim Reaper's messenger possibly act so arrogantly?"
When Yan Shaozhe mentioned the arrogance of the Grim Reaper, Xuanzi immediately recalled the scene of the Grim Reaper escaping from his grasp.
A dignified level 98 Super Douluo let a useless Soul King escape from his grasp. Although there was also the reason that Yao Haoxuan's corpse was about to explode, forcing him to protect the students, he still couldn't save face.
Even worse, the Grim Reaper almost kidnapped Huo Yuhao right in front of him.
Although Huo Yuhao was nothing special among the students, it was still a slap in the face to him in front of everyone else!
If it weren't for Wang Dong'er, the Grim Reaper's plan might have succeeded. In fact, the fact that the trainees suffered the current casualties instead of even greater ones could be attributed to Wang Dong'er's caution.
Because Xuanzi had been following in secret, he was fully aware of everything, from Wang Dong'er's initial instructions to the confrontation between Wang Dong'er and Bei Bei at the cave entrance.
At that time, his thoughts were naturally the same as those of Ma Xiaotao and several other inner court disciples, as well as Bei Bei and others.
As it turned out, he was wrong, terribly wrong.
"Elder Xuan." Seeing Xuanzi slightly stunned, Yan Shaozhe called out again.
Xuanzi came to his senses, said nothing, shook his head and left.
As the most central institution of Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion stands at the center of Sea God Island, nestled within the embrace of the Golden Tree, another core element of Shrek Academy.
It is said to be an embrace, but in fact the entire Sea God Pavilion was built directly on the ancient golden tree.
Poseidon Pavilion is the tallest and most magnificent building on the entire Poseidon Island, and even on Shrek Academy.
However, Poseidon Island is surrounded by the vast Poseidon Lake, and is often shrouded in thick fog, so it is impossible to see Poseidon Island from the outer courtyard.
The Sea God Pavilion is not only the core power institution of Shrek Academy, but also the repository of countless treasures, and even hides some unknown secrets.
The advanced combat power of Shrek Academy is among the top in the Douluo Continent, with many Super Douluo-level experts serving as elders in the Hall of Worship of the Sea God Pavilion.
The Sea God Pavilion meeting that Xuanzi mentioned was to convene the four deans of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, as well as all the elders of the Hall of Worship, to discuss important matters.
At this moment, in the council hall of the Sea God Pavilion, a group of people were already seated around the oval table, while a recliner sat in the main seat.
The man on the recliner is Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion.
At the far left of the long table sat the two deans of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, while at the far right sat the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo and Xian Liner.
Meanwhile, the two deans on both sides are a married couple.
Besides these four deans, the other elders were all white-haired old men. Xuanzi sat in the first seat on the left, while Lin Huiqun, the head of Jubaoge Pavilion, sat in the first seat on the right.
Everyone had arrived, and Mu En, who was on the recliner, spoke up: "Xuanzi, now that everyone is here, you can tell us why you proposed convening the Sea God Pavilion meeting this time."
Xuanzi first nodded to Mu En, then stood up: "Under my leadership, the inner court disciples suffered heavy losses, and the outer court students were also injured or killed. I bear the responsibility for this incident."
"Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as the vice-captain of the Shrek Academy's Supervisory Committee and withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion, and from now on I will just live as a leisurely old man in the academy."
Xuanzi's status in the Sea God Pavilion is almost second only to the Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En, and his strength is also comparable.
Now, due to hidden injuries and other reasons, Mu En is about to reach his end. If Mu En really passes away in the near future, then Xuan Zi will be the first choice to succeed the Sea God Pavilion Master.
When Xuanzi announced that he would resign from all his positions, everyone was shocked.
Yan Shaozhe stood up and looked at Xuanzi: "Elder Xuan, you are the backbone of the academy, you must not leave the Sea God Pavilion."
"Furthermore, the responsibility for this matter isn't entirely your fault. Who hasn't made mistakes due to carelessness? And Xiao Tao and the others also made the mistake of underestimating their opponents. If we're talking about responsibility, I also bear some responsibility for suggesting that we bring the core disciples from the outer academy along."
"And that evil soul master, with the cultivation of a Soul King, was able to unleash a full-force attack at the Soul Saint level. Who could have imagined that? Who would have thought that his strength would be based on the number of corpses and his strength in life?"
Xuanzi sighed softly, stopping Yan Shaozhe from speaking, and said, "Shaozhe, there's no need to say anymore. If it weren't for that girl Lexuan's desperate pleas and her refusal to get up from her knees, I would have resigned immediately after the incident in the Star Dou Great Forest."
