Titan didn't give Mu En any face, immediately berating the messenger.
They had previously heard from the people of Shrek Academy that Mu En had sent someone to try and establish communication with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy. However, that person had been severely humiliated by the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy, who stated they would have nothing to do with Shrek Academy.
This meant that Mu En's so-called plan had completely failed. They could no longer count on Mu En to bring Wang Dong'er from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy to the Clear Sky Sect.
Because of this, Niu Tian and Titan naturally had no good feelings towards the people of Shrek Academy.
However, Titan's words still surprised the messenger.
He truly didn't expect that there would be someone in the Clear Sky Sect who could be compared to Xuan Zi.
After these words were spoken, the image of the Clear Sky Sect in the hearts of people across the continent was completely and utterly fixed!
Even if the continent was destroyed by the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, it would have nothing to do with their Clear Sky Sect?
No, I must return immediately and relay these words to Old Mu!
Thinking of this, the messenger didn't waste any time in the Clear Sky Sect. He bid farewell to Niu Tian and Titan and began to return to Shrek Academy at the fastest possible speed.
This trip to the Clear Sky Sect yielded even greater rewards than expected.
Watching the back of that Shrek Academy fellow as he left, Niu Tian frowned, feeling that something wasn't quite right. He wanted to warn that guy not to spread Titan's words, but after standing up, he turned to Titan and chided him.
"Why did you say those things just now? Don't you know that it will have a negative impact on the Clear Sky Sect?"
Titan still had that nonchalant look, waving his hand dismissively.
"What impact could it have? Isn't that just how the Clear Sky Sect is? No matter what turmoil arises on the continent, it has nothing to do with them. They just want to hide away and live their own lives, ignoring even the suffering of their own subordinates. Hasn't it been like this since ten thousand years ago?"
"Besides, do you really consider the Clear Sky Sect our home? Although the two of us are nominally the First and Second Sect Masters of the Clear Sky Sect, what does the Clear Sky Sect have to do with us? Could it be that if we asked them to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult, they would actually go?"
Niu Tian was speechless.
Ten thousand years had passed, and the continent had long forgotten the Clear Sky Sect's actions back then, but they, who knew the truth, were very clear that the Clear Sky Sect had never taken responsibility. As long as it didn't affect them, the lives and deaths of outsiders were completely irrelevant to them.
Just as Titan said, even if they were now the Clear Sky Sect's Grand Sect Master and Second Sect Master, if they were to risk the lives of Clear Sky Sect members to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters, the people of the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't necessarily take action.
Realizing this, Niu Tian gave up on the idea of warning that guy. He sat down directly, no longer worrying about whether the Holy Spirit Cult's actions in the Heaven Spirit Empire would affect the Clear Sky Sect.
Not long after Mu En returned to Shrek Academy with Xu Sanshi and Xue Lingxun, the guy responsible for seeking help from the Clear Sky Sect returned and reported Titan's attitude to Mu En.
Listening to this guy's description, Mu En's expression immediately became a bit strange, and the other Sea God Pavilion members couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Xuan Zi.
They all felt that the Clear Sky Sect's Second Sect Master was Xuan Zi from the Clear Sky Sect.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Xuan Zi, who had just laughed and wanted to mock Titan, suddenly found his melon wasn't so tasty anymore. He glared at the Sea God Pavilion members, excluding Mu En, and said angrily.
"What are you looking at? What do you guys mean?"
Xuan Zi was angry.
What the hell does this mean?
These guys are trying to say that Titan and I are both idiots, right?
Zhuang Lao coughed twice to soothe the situation.
"Xuan Zi, why are you so sensitive? Everyone was just looking at you because they were thinking about your last fight with Titan."
It would have been better if Zhuang Lao hadn't brought it up. Xuan Zi's face turned even darker.
Was that even a fight? He was clearly getting beaten up by that guy named Titan!
Seeing that these guys were once again going off on a tangent, Mu En frowned slightly, curled his finger, and tapped on the table, turning everyone's attention to himself. He said in a low voice,
"Alright, let's end this matter here."
"From now on, release the news. Anyone worried about their safety, regardless of whether they're from the Heaven Spirit Empire, the Star Luo Empire, or the other two countries, can move to Shrek City. Shrek Academy will do everything we can to protect their safety and prevent them from being harmed by the Holy Spirit Cult."
"At the same time, spread the news that after learning what happened in the Heaven Spirit Empire, Shrek Academy had decided to drive the Holy Spirit Cult out of the Heaven Spirit Empire at any cost. However, because of the Clear Sky Sect's refusal, we could only do so much. This matter must be spread secretly and must not be said by anyone from Shrek Academy! Understood?"
Mu En felt that if he hadn't added that last sentence, these guys, who only had a little bit of brains, would likely have openly shirked their responsibilities and dumped the blame on the Clear Sky Sect.
It wasn't that he looked down on Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion. On the contrary, it was because he thought too highly of them that things had developed to this point!
He couldn't give them another chance to ruin Shrek Academy.
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Mu En looked at Xuan Zi and said, "Xuan Zi, what you need to do next is to lead people across the continent to search for the traces of Celestial Herbs. Do everything you can, and you must find them! Only then will Shrek Academy truly have a chance to overcome this crisis and successfully rise again!"
Mu En wasn't as optimistic as he appeared.
He knew just how terrifying the talents of those little fellows from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy participating in this Soul Master Tournament were. Mu En wasn't like the others, who would comfort themselves by saying that Huo Yuhao and the others had only eaten a lot of Celestial Herbs that squeezed their potential to raise their strength to that level because they wanted to win the championship so badly.
Their talents even exceeded Mu En's understanding.
According to this trajectory, once Huo Yuhao and those girls fully mature, Shrek Academy will have no chance of a comeback.
Only by finding the Celestial Herbs and allowing Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Dai Huabin's talents to undergo a transformation will there be a chance to make Shrek Academy great again!
Upon hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi didn't hesitate in the slightest, immediately nodding in agreement.
"Don't worry, Elder Mu. If I can't find the Celestial Herbs, I won't have the face to return to the academy!"
For a moment, the gazes of the Sea God Pavilion elders present became rather strange.
Why did it feel like Xuan Zi was deliberately saying this?
Was he taking this opportunity to leave the increasingly changing Shrek, to distance himself from Mu En, who was putting immense pressure on him, and go out and enjoy himself?
Although thinking this way might make them seem a bit cynical and unfair to Xuan Zi.
But the more they thought about it, the more they felt this guess was very reasonable, and very consistent with Xuan Zi's usual behavior!
