997: Yuanlei, welcome to join

"I wasn't bewitched by Moyun; destroying the Divine Hall was entirely my own idea!"

"Father Emperor, Moyun just wants revenge. What did he do wrong? Why do you still want to deprive him of his right to live? Thousands of people from the entire Five Elements Sect were ordered to be killed by you. Now, only he is left. Do you want to wipe him out completely?!"

"Also, I truly like Moyun. Father Emperor, if you kill him, kill me first!"

After hearing the Hall Master order Moyun's death, the Goddess couldn't help but voice her opinion.

Her words and viewpoint caused everyone in the main palace, where the atmosphere had just relaxed, to hold their breath.

Or rather... suffocate!

Jun Chen, the Captain of the Divine Hall's prodigies, had just been celebrating successfully rescuing the Goddess.

Now, upon hearing her words, his expression turned pale!

Whether it was the Goddess running into the fire pit again, or her saying that she liked Moyun, both dealt a massive critical blow to Jun Chen!

"Bang!" The Hall Master slammed his seat, and the collapsing force distorted the space.

On his dark face, genuine anger was revealed: "Zhongsun Yiqing, do you know what you are saying?!"

The current situation, for the Hall Master, was like when he was walking down the steps one by one, and suddenly, his daughter pulled away the steps he should have smoothly walked down!

Now, even if he wanted to announce that things were over, it was already impossible.

Of course, at this moment, the Hall Master didn't care about the steps anymore.

What angered him more was that his daughter would say such unforgivable words on such an occasion!

"Father Emperor, Moyun didn't do anything wrong. You can't kill him," the Goddess still said with a firm attitude.

Looking at his daughter's posture and listening to her defiant words, the Hall Master could only rely on his strong inner strength to maintain his composure.

Without looking at his daughter, who seemed to be missing a few screws, the Hall Master focused his dangerous gaze on Moyun for the first time: "Moyun, do you have anything to say about this?"

For such a long time, this fellow had remained silent.

Now, facing such a situation, it's not like no one will notice you just because you're silent.

Hearing the Divine Hall Hall Master's question, Moyun looked directly at the other party and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The Divine Hall is my enemy, and I will always remember it!"

"Revenge is enough for me alone; I don't need the Goddess's help."

"Don't need Qing'er's help?" The Hall Master smiled and shook his head: "Is that Dragon bone you obtained from Jiaolong Valley still in your Storage Bags? You've seen the information Qing'er gave you about the spies planted in my Divine Hall, right? It was also Qing'er who saved you from Huamao Supreme yesterday, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"With you like this, what makes you say you can take revenge on your own?"

"And you're standing in front of this Emperor, saying you want to kill this Emperor."

"If it weren't for Qing'er standing in front of you, you would already be dismembered and thrown to the dogs!"

After angrily spitting out his words, the Hall Master continued: "Someone, cripple Moyun's cultivation and Martial Soul, sever his tendons in his hands and feet, and lock him in the prison!"

"To have bewitched this Emperor's daughter to such an extent is an unforgivable crime!"

At this moment, the Hall Master's order was decisive and firm.

"Father Emperor!" The Goddess stepped forward emotionally.

"Take the Goddess down to rest." The Hall Master had no intention of listening to his daughter's nonsense any further.

To prevent this rebellious daughter from doing something foolish, he had already made the greatest concession by just crippling Moyun's cultivation, severing his tendons, and locking him in the prison!

Two guards stepped forward and forcefully dragged Moyun, whose power was restrained and who was struggling with brute force, out of the hall.

The Goddess shouted and chased after him, but was stopped by two other guards.

"Everyone in the Divine Hall, I will definitely reach a height that you can only look up to, making you regret everything you have done in the past and now to the extreme!"

As he was being dragged out, Moyun was still shouting with a flushed face.

The people around saw this scene, and their expressions were very complex.

As the Hall Master left, everyone also shook their heads and walked out of the hall.

This could be considered watching a play.

The Goddess's plan to destroy the Divine Hall did give everyone quite a shock, but now that this matter had been uncovered, it was impossible for it to happen again.

Without any safety concerns, everyone's definition of this matter was limited to a small scope of conversation.

As for the Hall Master's handling, no one dared to make any comments.

Side hall.

Away from the gaze of all the officials, the Hall Master sat in the pavilion outside the side hall, rubbing his brows with a headache.

"Go and call Mu Qianjun here." Waving his hand at the attendant beside him, the Hall Master ordered.

The attendant left upon receiving the order.

Not long after, Mu Qianjun quickly came to the pavilion: "Greetings, Lord Temple Lord."

"Mm." The stern-faced Chang Fa Nan nodded slightly, his gaze looking towards the distant lake: "Qianjun, I heard you found a promising talent?"

The Hall Master had no prevarication with Mu Qianjun, this Supreme loyal to him, and went straight to the point with his question.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, this subordinate did indeed find a monstrous Genius with extraordinary talent!" Mu Qianjun understood who the Hall Master was referring to; it was Du Xingchen, the talent he had recruited.

He had already roughly reported this information on the way to the Divine Hall, so the Hall Master mentioning it was within expectations.

"Only that Child Jun Chen among the younger generation of the Divine Hall has this kind of talent, capable of producing a golden talent in the Divine Disciple Inheritance, right?" The Hall Master spoke with a reminiscent tone.

Mu Qianjun nodded slightly: "That's right, Jun Chen is the most talented Child we have found in so many years, but now it seems there's another Du Xingchen."

"I heard that Child named Du Xingchen slapped Qing'er? This Emperor hasn't even slapped Qing'er." The Hall Master sipped the hot tea in his cup and asked calmly without much change in expression.

Hearing this, a hint of unnaturalness appeared on Mu Qianjun's face: "That is true, but it was also because the Goddess was too aggressive, and coupled with the fact that she herself had almost killed Du Xingchen before, these accumulated grudges led to that Child Du Xingchen being unable to control himself for a moment."

Speaking of this, Mu Qianjun wanted to say something more to try and make the Hall Master less angry.

However, the Hall Master's next response instantly dispelled the slight tension in his heart.

"Well hit!" The Hall Master's added words carried a hint of satisfaction.

"Before, this Emperor thought that the boy Du Xingchen had been too heavy-handed, after all, this Emperor was reluctant to even hit Qing'er, but now it seems that this Emperor has been too doting on her!"

"Look at how that girl is now! If she's allowed to continue like this, the Divine Hall will be ruined in her hands!"

Speaking of this, the Hall Master looked at Mu Qianjun and said: "You brought that Du Xingchen to the Divine Hall. I heard his strength is only Four-Star Soul Card Master, so place him in the God's Temple Second Team."

"The first team is already set and cannot be changed. With the Child Du Xingchen in the second team, I believe its foundation will also rise to another level in no time."

"This." Mu Qianjun heard the Hall Master's words and knew what the outcome would be without having to convey it to Du Xingchen.

"Lord Temple Lord, this subordinate has already asked that Child if he wanted to come to the Divine Hall before, and he refused at that time. Compared to our Divine Hall's team, he is clearly more suitable in his original team which is already well-integrated."

"Moreover, that team itself is not ordinary; the successor of the previous Divination God also evaluated that team."

"Is that so?" The Hall Master frowned: "Then we'll see his performance later."

As for Du Xingchen, this Child with a golden talent who suddenly appeared, the Hall Master's attitude towards him was relatively laid-back, like Buddha.

The main reason was that Du Xingchen was only at the Four-Star Soul Card Master Realm. Even if his talent was extremely high, his Realm was ultimately too low.

In the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, he was destined not to reach the end.

Compared to utilizing him, the Hall Master placed more importance on investing resources and cultivating his growth.

In this year's Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, it was impossible for Du Xingchen to have any highlights, but he was still young and could wait until next year or the year after to be a main force and fight for the Divine Hall!

"Give these cultivation resources to that Child. A golden talent is not easy to find. Making him feel the importance we place on him in the Divine Hall and understanding our gratitude is the most basic thing." The Hall Master waved his hand casually, and a Storage Bags full of resources suitable for first-stage Soul Card Masters was thrown to Mu Qianjun.

"Yes, Lord Temple Lord!" Mu Qianjun took the Storage Bags and accepted the order.

After dealing with matters related to Du Xingchen, the Hall Master sat alone in the pavilion and once again thought of the frustrating situation with his daughter, Zhongsun Yiqing.

In fact, if the Hall Master knew the original story, he should be thanking Heaven, Earth, and Du Xingchen right now.

In the original story, by the time the Hall Master discovered the Goddess's intention to rebel, the entire Divine Hall had already been almost dismantled!

It was nothing like this, where it was just a minor headache.

......

Several days later.

Yunyong Academy.

With only three days left until the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, Du Xingchen and his team were still practicing.

"It's already this late, why hasn't the Principal returned yet? It's impossible for him not to know about the incidents that happened at the School a few days ago," Liangcai Sword asked his teammates while drinking water to quench his thirst after training.

To this, Wen Xiucheng shrugged: "Who knows, maybe the Dean is still chasing after the missing Moyun!"

"Speaking of which, the Dean should definitely know about the situation here in Mao City, after all, we are not far apart. Now that the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination is approaching and he still hasn't returned, it's really strange," Sun Yingying said with a puzzled expression.

"Does the Captain know more about some things?" Ning Bing spoke from within the crowd.

Over the past few days, she had roughly gotten used to the situation of Du Xingchen becoming the Captain.

Ning Bing herself was the kind of person who went with the flow.

She didn't have any particularly strong feelings of hatred towards anyone in the team, and in her opinion, there was nothing to be uncomfortable about Du Xingchen becoming the Captain, so calling him Captain sounded very normal.

"Huh? Where's the Captain?" Liangcai Sword looked around and asked somewhat confusedly.

"Xingchen just looked at the Treasure Hunting Plate and seemed to have found something, so he left temporarily," Wen Xiucheng explained.

They were no longer unfamiliar with the Treasure Hunting Plate now.

Du Xingchen clearly trusted them.

"Could there be some treasure?" Liangcai Sword asked with some interest.

......

At the School entrance.

Lush green trees played music in the cool breeze, and the sunlight created by the Sun covered the ground.

A Man, completely wrapped up, with most of his face covered by his clothes, stopped and stood there.

He looked up with a bit of confusion.

"Yunyong Academy..." the Man muttered to himself.

To come here, he had crossed mountains and rivers, but at the School gate, he fell into hesitation.

"Wouldn't a useless person like me just be a burden if I joined them? They saved me and helped me, how can I be so selfish as to participate in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination?" Muttering to himself, the Man took a deep breath, and finally stopped his steps towards the School. He also turned around and walked away from the School gate with a sense of melancholy.

The journey of crossing mountains and rivers ultimately couldn't support the courage to take the last step.

"Yuan Lei, welcome to join us." Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

This familiar and warm voice made Yuan Lei freeze!

"
