Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 510 Elder Mu, the traitor is Yan Shaozhe!

He Caitou began to recount his experiences.

The experience was simple: he wandered around Sunrise City and discovered a mysterious evil spirit master. He then secretly followed the master to the water dungeon, found the hostage, and killed the evil spirit master and the other evil spirit masters in the water dungeon through a sneak attack. Fortunately, the powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult were not in the water dungeon.

Therefore, he successfully rescued the hostages imprisoned in the water dungeon and brought them to find Old Song.

Yes, it does sound ridiculous. Even He Caitou himself felt that his so-called experience of rescuing hostages was not very credible.

However, since the other hostages would testify to his statement, he had saved the hostages in this way. Whether he believed it or not was unimportant; what mattered was that others believed it.

At this moment, Old Song was shocked. She did not doubt He Caitou's statement. He was a student of Shrek Academy and the trainer of the Extreme Individual Soldier Project. He was trustworthy and would not deceive her on such a matter.

She was quite pleased and praised, "He Caitou, you have done a great service. When we return to the academy, I will recommend you for commendation at the Sea God Pavilion meeting. The academy has never been stingy with rewards for students who have made contributions! And Douluo Three Kingdoms will also reward your actions."

"Hmm!" He Caitou nodded, then asked, "By the way, Elder Song, I discovered that Tang Ya is also in Risheng City. So, do you want to take action now and rescue Tang Ya as well?"

He did see Tang Ya on his way back, but Tang Ya was being surrounded by a group of evil soul masters and flying towards the water prison. He guessed that the Blue Silver Saintess would soon be furious because the hostage had disappeared.

Because there were too many hostages, he did not attempt to rescue Tang Ya directly in order to avoid complications.

"Tang Ya is also in Sunrise City?" Old Song frowned, and after a moment, he made a decision. "I will go and find out the situation. If the situation is right, I will immediately rescue her. If the situation is not right, then we will send the hostage out of Sunrise City first, and let the spies from Shrek Academy and Douluo Three Kingdoms help them leave the Sun Moon Empire, and then we will proceed slowly."

Of course, you shouldn't tell Beibei about seeing Tang Ya right now, otherwise, I'm afraid he might do something irrational.

He Caitou pondered for a moment, then said, "Old Song is right!"

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

The autumn wind was chilly, and the once smooth, mirror-like surface of the lake outside the pavilion was now ruffled by the wind. The mood of the people inside the pavilion, like the lake water, was no longer calm.

Moon sat in the chair, his hands, veins bulging, gripping the armrests tightly. Cracks appeared on the armrests, spreading out like a spider web.

He gazed at the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down. He said, "So, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Lin both died at the Sun and Moon Border, and you chose a strategic retreat to preserve your strength as much as possible? And this retreat led you all the way to Shrek Academy? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." He knew very well that from the perspective of the academy's overall interests, since Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Lin were dead, and there were no casualties at the Sun and Moon Border, it was enough to show that the difference in strength between the two sides was enormous. Therefore, this team composed of elders should not have continued to entangle with the Sun and Moon powerhouses at the border, but should have chosen a strategic retreat.

But is it really necessary to retreat to Shrek Academy? Could it be that those Sun and Moon level experts are really that terrifying, scaring these seasoned elders out of their wits?
Yan Shaozhe looked at Mu En and said with dissatisfaction, "Teacher, all of this is because of Elder Xuan. If Elder Xuan hadn't insisted, I think we wouldn't have needed to return to Shrek Academy at all."

Although we elders are no match for the Sun and Moon Realm experts, we can still occasionally make our presence felt at the border, letting those Sun and Moon Realm experts know that we are there!
Although there are some risks involved, as long as you are careful and avoid fighting, you can still attract the attention of those powerful beings at the Sun and Moon levels!
In this way, we could provide some assistance to Elder Song and his team, allowing them to continue their mission. However, Elder Xuan is determined to insist that we return to the academy. He even claimed that he had already arranged for people to convey the order to retreat to Elder Song and his team. Does this mean our entire operation has been fruitless?

Mu En nodded, feeling that Yan Shaozhe's words made sense, but Xuanzi's actions seemed out of place, so he immediately looked at Xuanzi, hoping that the other party could give an explanation.

Xuanzi's expression turned serious: "Elder Song, it's not that I don't want to do this, but if I do, there will be traitors among the elders who will take this opportunity to completely annihilate me and the other elders who care about the academy!"
This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the academy, and in the current tense situation, it may even shake the foundation of Shrek Academy's long-standing legacy.

Therefore, I led the elders on a grueling journey back to the academy, all to eliminate the traitor within the academy and restore order. Only by eliminating the internal traitor can we concentrate our efforts on dealing with external enemies.

A traitor within the ranks of the elders?

A look of surprise appeared on Mu En's face. He didn't understand why Xuanzi would say such a thing. The elders within the academy had gone through layers of selection and had been influenced by the spirit of Shrek Academy. Therefore, the elders were basically loyal to the academy and put the interests of the academy first. How could they possibly betray the academy?
But the other party spoke with such certainty, as if he really knew who the traitor was among the elders. For a moment, Mu En also began to wonder who the traitor really was.

The other elders were also stunned, completely unexpected that Xuanzi would say such a thing. For a moment, the other elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Who is the traitor?" Moon asked instinctively, preferring to believe it rather than not.

After all, if a traitor were to emerge from among the elders, the damage he would cause to the academy would be immeasurable. Not only would the enemy be able to obtain information about the academy's internal affairs, but the academy's strongest members could also be betrayed by this traitor.

Xuanzi confidently stated, "Based on my observations and the evidence I currently possess, I can confirm that the traitor is Yan Shaozhe! Elder Mu, I urge you to follow the academy's rules and ensure that the traitor receives the punishment he deserves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu En looked astonished and found it hard to believe. How could his student Yan Shaozhe be a traitor? Xuanzi had practically watched Yan Shaozhe grow up, and the two had an excellent relationship. Logically speaking, Xuanzi had no reason to frame Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know why Xuanzi would frame him. At this moment, he didn't care about his personal relationship with Xuanzi anymore and shouted, "Elder Xuan! How can you make false accusations? How could I be a traitor!"

At this moment, Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er, who were originally dissatisfied with Feng Ling and Yan Shaozhe's intimate behavior, also frowned, somewhat displeased with Xuanzi's indiscriminate slander.
