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

Chapter 511 Evidence of Xuanzi

Considering that Xuanzi had always been a staunch supporter of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, Cai Meier suppressed her dissatisfaction and began to smooth things over: "Elder Xuan, I believe in Shao Zhe. He has always been loyal to Shrek Academy and could never be a traitor. So, is there some misunderstanding about this?"

Xuanzi glanced at Cai Meier and sneered, "Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding! Yan Shaozhe knows very well what he has done. I am 90% certain that Yan Shaozhe is a traitor to Shrek Academy! If Yan Shaozhe is not a traitor, I will resign from the Sea God Pavilion immediately!"

Cai Meier was speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere inside the Sea God Pavilion became increasingly heavy.

Yan Shaozhe's face grew increasingly grim. He was pondering why Xuanzi was so adamant that he was a traitor. After much thought, he wondered if Xuanzi had found out that his teacher was planning to groom him to be the next head of the Sea God Pavilion.

Previously, because Xuanzi did a series of things "for the good of the academy" but caused bad consequences, the teachers were very disappointed in Xuan Lao and decided to let themselves replace Xuan Lao and become the next head of the Sea God Pavilion.

If it's true that Elder Xuan lost his composure because of this incident, harbored resentment towards me, and falsely accused me of being a traitor to Shrek Academy in an attempt to bring me down, that's quite possible. After all, Elder Xuan had been the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master for decades, and it's natural that he would be extremely dissatisfied to have his position suddenly taken away.

The problem is that only he and his teacher know about this. His teacher will not spread it outside, and he will keep it a secret. After all, in terms of current strength, Elder Xuan is indeed more suitable to be the head of the Sea God Pavilion than he is.

Even Xianlin'er, sitting across the table, was frowning.

Although she always thought Yan Shaozhe was a womanizer, and was extremely dissatisfied with his behavior of flirting with other women even when they were dating.

But she felt that Yan Shaozhe could never betray the academy. As a disciple of Elder Mu and a powerful elder of the Sea God Pavilion, what would Yan Shaozhe gain by betraying the academy?

Could it be that because Yan Shaozhe's Martial Soul True Body injured Elder Xuan, Elder Xuan harbored resentment and attempted to retaliate by framing Yan Shaozhe for betraying the academy?

According to Elder Xuan, wasn't it because of Kong Deming's mental attack that he lost his focus for a moment, only using a small amount of soul power to protect himself, which ultimately led to the injury?

Although Shao Zhe made some mistakes in this matter, he didn't do it on purpose. Besides, when did Elder Xuan become so petty?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, wondering what Xuanzi's purpose was in framing Xuanzi.

Mu En's gaze swept across the faces of the elders. He sighed helplessly and finally said, "Alright, Xuanzi, if you can really produce evidence to prove that Shao Zhe is a traitor, I will naturally deal with Shao Zhe. But if you can't produce any evidence at all, then I can assume that you are slandering Shao Zhe."

In fact, he still tends to believe Yan Shaozhe rather than Xuanzi. After all, Xuanzi has made too many mistakes, making him hard to trust. Perhaps the "traitor Yan Shaozhe" incident that Xuanzi claims is just a misunderstanding of Yan Shaozhe.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi said confidently, "Elder Mu, rest assured, of course I have evidence. You will soon find out that I am not slandering Yan Shaozhe at all! Now I will present my analysis at the Sea God Pavilion meeting."

"Our rescue operation was ambushed by Kong Deming's team, who should have been in Mingdu, which led to the deaths of Xiaolin and Xiaozhuang. Through this incident, I can confirm that a high-ranking member of the academy leaked information to the Sun Moon Empire!"
After all, although some people in the Douluo Three Kingdoms knew about our rescue operation, only the academy's higher-ups knew the exact timing of its execution. If there wasn't a traitor, how could Kong Deming have appeared at the Sun-Moon Border? Surely it couldn't be because he had some kind of precognitive ability?

Hearing this, Mu En fell into thought, realizing that Xuanzi's words did indeed make sense. Given Kong Deming's current strength, he should have been stationed in Mingdu, stabilizing the situation, and shouldn't have been at the Sun-Moon border at that time, launching a precise ambush on the Shrek Academy elders. So, Shrek Academy really did have a traitor?
Qian Duoduo murmured, "What Elder Xuan said makes sense. If there were no traitors, how could Kong Deming have appeared at the border of the Sun and Moon? As long as Kong Deming doesn't appear, our operation should go smoothly, and Elder Lin and Elder Zhuang won't die."

As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily reddened. The deaths of Elder Lin and Elder Zhuang had been a great blow to him.

After all, these two elders were his seniors who had helped him.

But he could only watch helplessly as the senior who had helped him was killed, which undoubtedly caused him great pain.

The other elders, at this moment, also realized that Xuanzi's words were indeed correct.

Moon said, "Based on this alone, we cannot conclude that Shao Zhe is the traitor you mentioned."

However, he had already decided that once the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended, he would thoroughly investigate the academy and find out this damned traitor. After all, the existence of a traitor would harm the interests of Shrek Academy.

Xuanzi continued, "Elder Mu, I haven't finished listing my evidence yet. While everyone was burning their life force and preparing to fight to the death, Yan Shaozhe cowered and didn't burn his life force. Moreover, he was rescued from the soul guide shield by Feng Ling."

Feng Ling is the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, a powerful evil soul master at the Super Douluo level. Given the terrible relationship between the academy and evil soul masters, she is undoubtedly an enemy of Shrek Academy! Yet, this enemy has extended a helping hand to Yan Shaozhe!

Moreover, even the soul-guided cannons from the Sun Moon Empire did not attack Yan Shaozhe after he was rescued!

As he spoke, he scanned the elders around, his gaze sharp as a knife: "Everyone can think carefully about what I've said. Is there any falsehood in it?"

The elders fell into thought. Xuanzi's words were indeed correct. Even the detail that Yan Shaozhe was not attacked by the soul-guided cannon after being rescued was gradually recalled by some of the elders. They looked at Yan Shaozhe and felt that Yan Shaozhe was indeed highly suspicious.

Even Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er, who firmly trusted Yan Shaozhe, changed their gaze towards him at this moment. Some things, if not pointed out by others, might be subconsciously ignored, and attention would be focused on other aspects. But once such things are pointed out, one can quickly sense that something is wrong.

Mu En noticed the expressions on everyone's faces. His gaze immediately focused on Yan Shaozhe, and he said sternly, "Shaozhe, is what Xuanzi said just now true? Back then, you let Fengling go, which was a huge mistake. I punished you with three years of confinement, just to make you reflect on your mistakes and to cut ties with Fengling. Could it be that you still have some contact with Fengling now?"

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed slightly. Feeling the sharp, dagger-like gazes of the crowd, he immediately said, "Teacher, how could I possibly have any connection with Feng Ling? I haven't seen her for many years."

"I can explain the question raised by Elder Xuan."
