It seemed that the other guest elders couldn't help but chime in, afraid that Xu Sheng wouldn't believe it...
"Xu Sheng, what the second brother said is true. The cultivation insights you've mentioned have already far surpassed the understanding of Soul Masters on this continent and could easily be considered human treasures!"
"Indeed, we guest elders aren't boasting, but we should be among the top powerhouses on the entire Continent. Yet, we've never heard of such things!"
"Xu Sheng, although we know you're not one to seek the limelight, it's best not to let these insights fall into the wrong hands to avoid arousing covetous desires!"
"Cough, cough... let's not talk like this. Do you really think Xu Sheng can't decipher the underlying meaning? But our Worship Hall should be the first to know!"
Xu Sheng, not wanting to dwell on the issue further, nodded and said, "Hm, from the looks of all the guest elders, I can roughly gauge their importance!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu Sheng, it's good that you understand. Also... can I inform the big brother about what I heard today?"
Although unsure if the other party would agree, he decided to ask anyway!
Of course, regardless of the answer, he intended to convey the details to the big brother!
Xu Sheng paused for a moment, "Do you mean the Grand Elder? Of course, you can!"
Wait, did Jincroc Elder's sudden inquiry yesterday suggest it was Qian Dao Liu's indication?
He suddenly thought this was quite likely!
After a brief pause, he said again, "It's just that the Grand Elder has already reached the realm of Ultimate Douluo, so these cultivation insights might not be very effective for him!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded and waved his hand, "That's nothing we need to worry about. I'm just informing the big brother, whether it's useful or not, it's up to him!"
Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully. "Is that so? All right then, but Jincroc Elder is truly loyal to the Worship Hall, even thinking to report such matters."
Jincroc Elder raised his chin proudly, "Xu Sheng, you've got it wrong. I've never been loyal to the Worship Hall, but to the big brother."
"After all, without him, I wouldn't be who I am today!"
For him, the Worship Hall was only meaningful because of Qian Dao Liu!
Otherwise, even if it were destroyed, it wouldn't stir any emotional response!
However, seeing that he wanted to continue speaking, the other guest elders couldn't hold back and urged him, "Second brother, Xu Sheng was just complimenting you casually, yet you've started talking about yourself?"
"Yeah, second brother, don't you have to report to the big brother? You should hurry up so we can discuss matters with Xu Sheng."
"Those earlier cultivation insights were quite complicated, not something we could comprehend just by hearing them once. We need to understand them thoroughly!"
...
Hearing this, Chen Xinjie's expression slightly softened, but he still spoke coldly, "Yun Ming's sacrifice was because he had Shrek Academy and Shrek City behind him. Therefore, I won't allow any War God from the War God Hall to defame him!"
Upon seeing this, the War Gods quickly responded, "Yes, Hall Master!"
They had only spoken rashly and didn't expect that it would anger the usually calm Hall Master so greatly!
Guan Yue whispered, "Hall Master... should we send a War God to Shrek Academy to express condolences?"
Chen Xinjie shook his head, "No need! Since Shrek Academy has withheld the news for so long, they clearly don't want the students to fall into grief over Yun Ming's death!"
"Sending someone now would only have the opposite effect!"
Guan Yue bit his lip, "The Hall Master is right, I failed to consider this carefully!"
He had thought of this, but suggested it because of his relationship with Long Yeyue...
Chen Xinjie's eyes flickered, changing the subject, "Speaking of which, Guan Yue, how is the matter I asked you to handle?"
Some time ago, he asked Guan Yue to negotiate with that army, promising to provide aid within the War God Hall's capabilities to draw them in!
Guan Yue's expression darkened slightly, "This... Hall Master, it seems that particular army doesn't want to accept our help, and they already have ample funds to pay for the thousands of Spirit Souls purchased from the Spirit Pagoda!"
Clearly, the other side understood their intentions, and they didn't accept help to convey one message!
They could be allies with the War God Hall, but would never come under its command!
Chen Xinjie didn't seem surprised, contemplated briefly, and said again, "Guan Yue, keep following up on this matter. If they need anything, offer assistance where possible!"
"If they don't need anything, then just monitor the overall movements of the army!"
Guan Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, Hall Master!"
After dealing with all this, Chen Xinjie waved his hand, "All right, you may all leave now!"
As he finished speaking, all the War Gods, including Guan Yue, swiftly left...
Only when the room was empty did Chen Xinjie's eyes reveal a hint of regret, murmuring, "Yun Ming, who would have thought, someone as powerful as you would die in such a stifling manner! But I believe, this is what makes our Shrek Academy strong!"
If the War God Hall had suffered a similar attack, even he, as Hall Master, would likely make the same decision...
...
Gu Yue exited the Star Dou Cabin and couldn't help but take a deep breath...
The female member of the Spirit Pagoda, who had been waiting quietly beside her, respectfully said, "Congratulations, Councilor Gu Yue, on another victory!"
Although she couldn't see what was happening inside the Star Dou Cabin, she could guess based on the former's expression!
Gu Yue glanced at her, slightly frowning, "Is there something you need from me?"
She hadn't sensed her presence, indicating the other arrived while she was engaged in the Star Dou Battle Network!
The female member of the Spirit Pagoda replied, "Councilor Gu Yue, have you forgotten? You emphasized keeping a close watch on the Blood God Army and Tang Wulin recently, and to report promptly if anything happened!"
Gu Yue suddenly realized, "I forgot, but next time you enter, first confirm if I am in a conscious state!"
The female member naturally dared not defy, "Yes!"
After a brief pause, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes focused, "Okay, tell me what happened with the Blood God Army?"
The female member responded, "The Blood God Army hasn't had any major incidents, but the Tang Wulin you instructed us to monitor, he..."
Gu Yue's expression gradually grew anxious, "Wulin? What happened to him?"
Could it be that something unexpected occurred during her absence?
Perhaps sensing her anxiety, the female member hurriedly reassured, "Councilor Gu Yue, don't worry, nothing has happened to him, it's just that..."
Then, she explained the detailed situation...
After hearing it all, Gu Yue's brow raised, "You mean to say two women entered Wulin's room and stayed there for an entire night?"
In an intangible manner, a chilling aura radiated from her...
