บท 3233: Chapter 316: The Location of the Divine Artifact_1
Shortly thereafter!
Zang Xin, who had gone to Shrek Academy and the federation, also returned to the Tang Sect...
Upon seeing the Sect Leader, Liang Xiaoyu spoke with a sense of urgency, "Sect Leader, have you returned?"
Zang Xin nodded slightly without showing much emotion, "Yes, I'm back!"
In the following moment, he maintained his composure...
This scene made Liang Xiaoyu frown and he reminded, "Sect Leader, aren't you going to say anything else??"
Zang Xin glanced at him and shrugged his shoulders saying, "What's there to talk about? There's nothing worthwhile to say!"
Liang Xiaoyu felt frustrated enough to grit his teeth and directly challenged, "Weren't you representing the Tang Sect in strategic discussions with the federation? As for the situation with the God-killing soul-guided missiles, you should at least give some explanation!"
The Sect Leader was obviously trying to keep him on tenterhooks; all was made so clear, yet he still pretended to know nothing!
"Or perhaps, you were not there for the discussions at all, but simply to slack off!"
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin instantly felt insulted and retorted, "How could that be possible? As the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, I conduct myself with integrity; there's no way I would slack off!!"
Liang Xiaoyu's corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Then, Sect Leader, do tell. Otherwise, I will surely report this matter to the former Sect Leaders!!"
"And I wonder if their spirits in heaven will rest in peace!"
Zang Xin's eyes were about to bulge out, "Liang Xiaoyu, you... "
Entrusting most of Tang Sect's authority to him, was that really the right choice?
Now he even dares to threaten me, the Sect Leader, what will happen in the future!
However, it seemed he recalled something and sighed, "Fine, I'll talk then!"
Only with this response did Liang Xiaoyu's eyes brighten as he silently waited...
Zang Xin took a deep breath and elaborated, "After discussions between the federation, Tang Sect, and Shrek Academy, it has been decided not to use the God-killing soul-guided missiles against the Spirit Pagoda, but to focus on eliminating the majority of evil Soul Masters from the Dou Spirit Empire!"
"That's the final conclusion. As for the rest, it's all meaningless chatter!!"
Liang Xiaoyu swallowed hard, "Is that all?"
After hearing this, he felt as if he had heard nothing useful at all!
After all, the fact that the federation wouldn't deploy God-killing soul-guided missiles against the Spirit Pagoda was not so hard to guess!
Zang Xin also revealed a trace of helplessness, "That's it!"
Liang Xiaoyu refocused and shook his head, "Isn't this a bit too hasty, for three powerhouses to have discussions, only to come up with such a plain and obvious conclusion!"
"It's a complete waste of my emotions!"
Zang Xin clearly did not want to discuss this topic further and waved his hand, "That's why I told you not to ask, since there's really nothing worth talking about!"
"Right, where's that Zang Xin guy? Didn't I ask you to notify him to look for the Divine Artifacts left behind by the previous Tang Sect Master? They still haven't been delivered to Shrek Academy since I returned!"
Liang Xiaoyu felt a bit awkward, "This... I did tell Hall Master Guo, and he was very willing to accept the task, but it seems that there have been no findings up to now!"
It was clearly stated before that it would be delivered to Shrek Academy before his return!
Zang Xin grew more puzzled, "No findings? That guy can't be curious about the Divine Artifacts and planning to use them himself, can he?"
The former Sect Master's possessions were plainly in the warehouse, very conspicuous, so it shouldn't have taken so long to find them!
Liang Xiaoyu instinctively refuted, "Sect Master Zang, I don't think that would be the case, Hall Master Guo is not a person driven by mere profit!"
Guo Xiaoxu had once been the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, after all, so he wouldn't stoop to doing something so undignified for just a Divine Artifact!
Just then, a sudden voice interrupted their conversation...
"Honestly, hearing that, I'm personally very touched!"
Zang Xin and the other looked to the side and were astonished to see Guo Xiaoxu!!
Liang Xiaoyu exclaimed joyfully, "Hall Master Guo, what brings you here? Could it be that you've already discovered the Divine Artifact?"
Guo Xiaoxu didn't bother to hide it and threw the shabby Helmet he was holding, "Yeah, I found it. It's this thing. At first, I thought it was just some broken Helmet!!"
Zang Xin's gaze locked onto the Helmet as he nodded affirmatively, "That's right, this has to be the Divine Artifact left behind by the former Sect Leader. I suspect that his aura must still linger on it!"
Guo Xiaoxu expressed his surprise, "Sect Leader, you knew?"
He had thought the former hadn't seen it either, which was why he was asked to search for it!
Zang Xin rolled his eyes, "Of course I knew, and I've even seen it with my own eyes, but... the Divine Artifact didn't look anything like this at the time!!"
"Perhaps it's lost its original color over time due to the lack of nourishment from Soul Power!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoxu stroked his chin thoughtfully, "That means when I infused Soul Power into this Helmet, there indeed was a reaction!!"
Hearing this, Liang Xiaoyu's expression became more dangerous as if he had discovered something...
"Infused Soul Power?? Guo Xiaoxu! Why didn't you tell me after you found the Divine Artifact and instead took it for yourself?!"
Guo Xiaoxu scratched his head dejectedly, "Well... I had to confirm first that this thing was indeed a Divine Artifact before I dared to hand it over to Tang Wulin!"
Liang Xiaoyu ground his teeth in anger, "You..."
Zang Xin suddenly interjected, "It's fine as long as it's been found. We'll have someone hand over the Divine Artifact to Tang Wulin after some time!"
"For now, hand it over to me!"
In an instant, Guo Xiaoxu's face revealed an expression of reluctance...
Zang Xin raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter? Can't bear to part with it?"
Guo Xiaoxu tilted his head, suppressing his reluctance, and handed the Divine Artifact over, "Well, this IS a Divine Artifact after all, not just some cabbage. Of course, I can't bear to let go!!"
"But since it's to be used against the Ghost Emperor, I must part with it whether I like it or not!"
Zang Xin took it and quickly stored it in a storage soul tool...
Only then did he nod, "That last point sounds like something a Hall Master would say!"
Guo Xiaoxu's mouth twitched, his tone laced with cold sarcasm, "Psh, in the end, who is it that stripped me of my Hall Master status?"
Zang Xin simply ignored the remark and stepped past him...
Watching his retreating back, Guo Xiaoxu continued, "Sect Leader, speak up, why ignore me?? Are you feeling guilty?"
Only after the figure had completely vanished did Liang Xiaoyu heave a sigh, "What are you playing at? You know the Sect Leader would never restore your status as Hall Master!"
Guo Xiaoxu crossed his arms, scoffing coldly, "Of course, I'm well aware of that, but I still have to give him a piece of my mind, to express my displeasure!!"
"What, I'm not even allowed to vent a bit!"
Liang Xiaoyu didn't want to engage with the matter any further, "Suit yourself, but I suspect your status within the Tang Sect may drop even lower now!!"
Sect Master Zang is also a sly one, how could he just pretend not to hear!
