"Expel us from the Tang Sect?"
"We are no longer Tang Sect Disciples?"
Hearing the terrible news, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's expressions changed drastically. Being kicked out of Shrek was nothing; joining the Tang Sect was their proudest achievement. They hadn't even hesitated when they chose to join.
Now they were being kicked out?
"Who gave you the authority to do this! We are Disciples of the Tang Sect, not servants of Shrek!"
The usually good-tempered Tang Wulin's Face flushed crimson as he glared at Cai Yue'er's wrinkled old Face.
"Teacher Wu brought us into the Tang Sect back then. What are you, old hag? When did the Tang Sect become your business to meddle in?"
Xie Xie was even more merciless. You old geezer, have we given you too much Face?
At this moment, Tang San's Divine Sense deeply agreed. Old hag, just you wait. When I recover my Qi, it will be your doomsday.
"Impudent!"
Cai Yue'er roared, and the surging Spirit pressure caused the two to continuously retreat, stumbling and falling.
"Let me tell you, Shrek and the Tang Sect have always been two sides of the same coin. I am not only the Vice Head of Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group but also a Guest Elder of the Tang Sect. I have every right to expel you two Disciples!"
Cai Yue'er sneered as she declared her identity, then shouted, "You ungrateful little things, unwilling to bear the glory of Shrek, you are even less qualified to receive the favor of the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect is the crystallization of the efforts of Shrek's Ancestral Masters through generations. This is my qualification!"
"Even if the current Sect Leader of the Tang Sect were here, he wouldn't contradict me!"
Hearing this, not only did Tang Wulin and Xie Xie feel their vision go black with anger, but Tang San's Divine Sense was also furious, his three corpses leaping and seven orifices fuming. If he weren't too weak to act, he swore he would make this old hag die a terrible death.
The current Sect Leader of the Tang Sect wouldn't contradict you, but am I, the founder of the Tang Sect, not enough?
You, a Guest Elder from who knows how many generations later, dare to expel the son of the Ancestral Master from the Sect? This is simply defying heaven, destroying ancestors, and being utterly rebellious!
"Damn Vicious Beasts, damn old hag! If I weren't too weak to act, I would clean house right now!"
The more Tang San's Divine Sense thought about it, the angrier he became, cursing repeatedly in his heart. After twenty thousand years, how did Shrek Academy produce such a thing?
Are the Sea God's Pavilion all useless eaters? Letting such a lunatic manage affairs?
"Alright, if it weren't to explain to the students, you wouldn't even be worth me saying so much. Everything you obtained from the Tang Sect, return it now."
Cai Yue'er's output continued. With a wave of her old hand, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie involuntarily floated up, silver moonlight trapping their bodies. Their Faces flushed red, and their pupils were filled with terror.
"What are you doing?!"
"Naturally, taking back the unique skills."
Cai Yue'er spoke coldly, a stern smile gracing her lips, appearing three points more terrifying than the Black and White Impermanence in everyone's eyes.
"Those who Cultivated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track will have their legs crippled; those who Cultivated Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method will have their hands crippled; those who Cultivated Mysterious Heaven Skill—naturally, their Cultivation will be crippled."
As soon as these words fell, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie felt as if struck by five bolts of lightning, and the students were silent as cicadas in winter. Tang San's Divine Sense's Face was ashen. Cai Yue'er's hatred value in his heart had surpassed the Star Dou Vicious Beast group, making her his primary enemy!
Looking at the flowing silver moonlight, he gritted his teeth, a great light bursting forth, ready to forcefully enter Tang Wulin's body, even at a great cost.
"Roar!"
Just then, a crimson Dragon shadow descended from the sky. The Red Dragon Douluo, Zhuo Shi, appeared like lightning in front of Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. With a grand sweep of his sleeves, eight fire Dragons rose from the ground, forcing Cai Yue'er back ten steps.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie awoke from their desperate pain, still somewhat unclear about what had happened. Wu Changkong appeared, catching the two, his expression bitter and helpless.
Tang San's Divine Sense, surging with divine light, let out a heavy sigh of relief, covering his head and temporarily ceasing his efforts.
Fortunately, there were still two normal people.
"Red Dragon Shakes the Earth, Zhuo Shi, what are you doing? Don't forget, I'm in charge here now!"
Cai Yue'er steadied herself and sharply questioned Zhuo Shi.
"I won't contend with you for outer court matters, but the two you want to cripple are half my grand-Disciples. How can I not intervene?"
Zhuo Shi's expression was cold and hard, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but thinking of Long Yeyue, he suppressed it and said:
"You don't need to overstep your bounds in Tang Sect matters. Even if you expel them, you cannot forcibly cripple them."
Cai Yue'er shouted, "Anyone who betrays the Tang Sect must have their life's Cultivation crippled, and even be relentlessly pursued until death, returning what they obtained to the Tang Sect. This is a rule established by Ancestral Master Tang San!"
"But you cannot represent Ancestral Master Tang San!" Zhuo Shi said something that greatly relieved Tang San's Divine Sense, then raised his hand and said:
"In any case, they were brought into the Tang Sect and Shrek by Changkong. No matter what, I will not let them be crippled!"
Cai Yue'er's Face alternated between green and pale. After a long standoff, seeing no reinforcements arrive, her tone finally softened:
"Fine~! I'll give you this Face. Let these two boys swear an oath in the name of their Spirits that they will no longer use Tang Sect unique skills, and I will let them go."
Zhuo Shi's pupils constricted. Just as he was about to retort, he saw the faint figures of light and dark Dragons in the far distance, subtly locking onto him. His Aura immediately weakened, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"Alright."
Hearing this, Wu Changkong's expression became anxious, "Teacher!"
Zhuo Shi turned his head, his Face full of helplessness, and whispered, "I can only do this much. I cannot preserve their status as Tang Sect Disciples. If you're not satisfied, then Cultivate diligently and enter the Sea God's Pavilion early."
Tang and Xie are currently just ordinary Tang Sect Disciples. If they had joined the Soul Fighting Hall, he could have argued forcefully and pushed back against the Twin Moon War God.
"But..." Wu Changkong was astonished, frozen in place.
To describe his state of mind at this moment, it was, "Damn it, how did the Academy turn into this? Treacherous villains are in power, and loyal, good people are gone."
"Teacher Wu, don't make things difficult for us. We'll leave."
Tang Wulin walked out with a ashen Face, giving a few bitter laughs, as if half his soul had been extracted. He looked at Cai Yue'er and said:
"We will always remember the kindness of the Tang Sect, but since the Guest Elder cannot tolerate us, our connection with the Tang Sect ends here."
He took out the rare metals and federal currencys he had and threw them on the ground. He said to Wu Changkong, "Teacher Wu, please help me give these to the Tang Sect. This is all my assets."
"And mine." Xie Xie threw down a federal currency card, lowering his head and saying, "My dream since childhood was to join the Tang Sect, but since the owner doesn't want us, let's break ties. I will always remember the time you brought us into the Tang Sect to Cultivate."
"You two—" Two hot tears rolled down Wu Changkong's frost-covered Face.
"We swear in the name of our Spirits that we will no longer use any Tang Sect unique skills, and we are no longer Tang Sect Disciples!"
The two bitter youths straightened their backs stubbornly, their eyes filled with hatred as they looked at Cai Yue'er. Then they bowed deeply three times to Wu Changkong and Zhuo Shi, turned their heads, and strode towards the exit.
Their Faces were wet, warm, and filled with even more resentment and hatred.
If this revenge is not exacted, they vow not to be human!
The two and Tang San's Divine Sense had the same thought.
Watching the two gradually disappearing, desolate figures, Wu Changkong gritted his teeth tightly. Zhuo Shi sighed deeply, and Cai Yue'er finally showed a satisfied smile, her brows full of disdain.
She naturally saw the hatred in their eyes, but she didn't take it seriously at all. Otherwise, she would have attacked them directly, just as she dealt with the Nine Stars Association back then.
"Wu Lin, what do we do? We don't even have money for the trip back."
Stepping out of the gate of Shrek Inner City, Xie Xie's tense body relaxed, wanting to cry but unable to.
He had boasted about making achievements in Shrek City, but now everything was gone.
"How about we contact Xiaoyan? Borrow some money to go to Mingdu?"
Strategically contemptuous, tactically cautious, Tang Wulin knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold and seek revenge, he needed a sufficiently powerful force. There were only a few factions that could help them.
"Good idea. If it weren't for Teacher Wu's Face, I wouldn't have come here."
Xie Xie was dejected. He had thought that coming to Shrek, Wu Changkong would protect him, but then the Devil Head of the world was released early and treated them like Evil Soul Masters.
The two frantically dialed the phone, seeking refugee assistance from Xu Xiaoyan. It soon connected, and they learned that she was at the Spirit Pagoda.
"Hello, you two. I just got a new Spirit with Na'er's help. Did you pass your assessments—oh wow, you guys are so miserable! Come quickly, come quickly!"
Tang and Xie exchanged glances, smiling bitterly without a word.
She was joyfully getting a new Spirit, while the two of them were swept out. The disparity was too disheartening.
They hurried towards the Spirit Pagoda. The bustling scene outside the Spirit Pagoda Academy made the two feel even more disheartened.
While the two were waiting for a red light, a robust young man, about 1.9 meters tall, walked over and greeted them very familiarly.
"Hey brothers, I'm a new student at the Spirit Pagoda Academy, Yang Nianxia. We just heard about your tragic experience. Do you want to take the assessment at our Spirit Pagoda Academy? Excellent benefits, you know."
"Spirit Pagoda Academy?" The two were stunned.
"Yes, Spirit Pagoda Academy."
A white-clad youth descended from the sky, revealing a very friendly smile, and said:
"Let me introduce myself. I am the Vice Dean of the Spirit Pagoda Academy and the Director of the Admissions Office, Qiangu Zhangting. We welcome all students who have suffered injustice at Shrek Academy to participate in our assessment."
"Whatever Shrek Tang abandons, our Spirit Pagoda will surely use! Outstanding students of this academy have direct access to the Spirit Pagoda, as well as promotion channels to the Eight Legions and the War God Hall."
"Whether you can get your revenge depends on your ability. I sincerely hope you succeed."
The two and Tang San's Divine Sense fell into thought, wondering whether to agree.
