Chapter 3697: 3943
Chen Xin heard this sentence and immediately became furious, "Gui Mei, are you here to joke around? You're asking our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect for justice, but who do we ask for justice for our disciples who died?"
Although there was no evidence, the number of Seven Treasures Glaze Sect disciples who had died at the hands of Martial Soul Hall was not few!
It was only because of the tense situation that they had yet to settle scores!
Gui Mei, however, retorted, "Chen Xin, you seem to have misunderstood something. Our Martial Soul Hall wouldn't deign to take action against the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
"Those disciples of yours who died had nothing to do with us; it was the people from the Worship Hall who took action!"
Unless it was a last resort, Your Holiness would never personally take action against someone from the upper three families!
Chen Xin didn't accept this rhetoric at all, "Whether it's the Worship Hall or you, aren't you all people from Martial Soul Hall? Even now, you still want to shirk responsibility!"
"I will settle this account with you today!"
The fact that the Worship Hall's person and the Pope were at odds had nothing to do with the murder of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's disciples!
Gui Mei let out a cold laugh, "Heh, you upper three families always claim to be noble, but in the dark, you still sent disciples to assassinate our Martial Soul Hall's Saint Heir!!"
Chen Xin frowned, "Whether you believe it or not, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had no part in the assassination of Xu Sheng!"
Gui Mei, unyielding when she had the upper hand, continued, "Easy to say, but can you produce evidence??"
If the topic were dragged back again, this battle would probably really erupt!
Chen Xin suddenly fell silent, "This..."
"Gui Mei, don't be unreasonable. If our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had really done such a thing, we naturally would not defend ourselves!"
"But if we didn't do it, we didn't. Your slander is intolerable!"
This Gui Mei was truly Bi Bidong's confidant; I'm completely no match for her in a war of words!
Gui Mei laughed as if hearing a joke, "Didn't do it? Then how did the Hao Tian Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect find out the information about Xu Sheng? Dare you say it has nothing to do with your Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"
The only ones who knew about Xu Sheng's terrifying talent, other than the insiders of Martial Soul Hall, were those like Chen Xin who had suddenly barged in!
Chen Xin, clenching the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, couldn't help but tremble, "Indeed, we did reveal news about Xu Sheng to the Hao Tian Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, but that does not mean we took part in the assassination!!"
This Gui Mei, with her glib tongue, is indeed more excessive than even Yueguan!!
Gui Mei interrupted the other's words, "Alright, Chen Xin, there's no need for these idle talks. I am not here to fight with you, let's both step back!"
Hearing this, Chen Xin glanced down at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect below and then retracted his Martial Soul...
He then asked, "Fine, but first answer me, what exactly are you here for at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"
Although I don't know why the other party dragged the topic so far, the purpose of their visit still needs to be clarified!
Gui Mei hesitated for a moment, then concocted a reasonable excuse...
"As I have said before, I have a message for Sect Master Ning!"
Chen Xin was taken aback, "Feng Zhi is not at the sect, you can tell me directly whatever it is!!"
Having anticipated this, Gui Mei immediately rejected the proposal, "No, Your Holiness has instructed specifically to tell Sect Master Ning!!"
"Since he's not here, then forget about it!"
Chen Xin didn't beat around the bush, issuing an eviction order, "If that's the case, do not linger!"
"Additionally, I'll remind you, if you enter the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect again without notification, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
"Heh!"
Gui Mei chuckled and quickly merged into the Black Mist, vanishing from sight...
It was then that an adjacent Soul Douluo Warrior approached, speaking with a hint of concern, "Sword Douluo senior, are we just going to let this guy leave? His infiltration this time might not just be for the reasons he claims!"
Anyone with a keen eye could tell that Gui Mei had long since realized that the Sect Master was not within the sect!
Chen Xin glanced at the former, "I'm aware of that, but if we start a battle here in the sect, I'm afraid it would cause tremendous damage!"
If it were anywhere else, I would have taken action long ago and not have dilly-dallied with Gui Mei for so long!
Fortunately, I have driven that fellow out of the sect's territory!
The Soul Douluo Warrior pondered, "So that's it!"
So Sword Douluo had the sect's best interests in mind all along. No wonder he wasted so much time talking to that Gui Mei, which is completely out of character for him!
Chen Xin waved his hand, "Enough of this, I have my thoughts on the matter. You should immediately go to the upper three families and make sure to inform the Sect Master of the situation here in full detail!"
The former had no objections, "Yes, Sword Douluo senior, I will do as you have instructed!"
Only after the person had left did Chen Xin turn to look toward the location where Gui Mei had been...
"Martial Soul Hall sending Gui Mei here, is it to gauge our sect's overall strength??"
If that's really the case, it's highly likely that they're preparing for war with the upper three families...
I hope Feng Zhi and the others return soon. The whole situation is fraught with oddities...
...
Feeling the spiritual power that had been locked onto him from behind disappear, Gui Mei finally stopped in his tracks...
And breathed a sigh of relief...
"Phew, fortunately, I bluffed my way through. But judging by Chen Xin's demeanor, he probably doesn't want a battle within his own sect grounds to avoid harming the innocent!"
"Otherwise, just for the fact that I snuck in secretly, it would have been a fight to the death!!"
If it really came to a fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for Chen Xin!
That guy's soul power rank is a whole level higher than mine!!
The only regret is that I couldn't find out where Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong have really gone!!
Royal household?
Or perhaps to one of the other two sects of the upper three families?
No matter which, I should report back to the Pope as soon as possible!
At least, the upper three families' attitude towards Martial Soul Hall is probably worse than imagined!
...
Ye Xinglan pursed her thin lips, "We've just arrived at the Northsea Legion and we're already being targeted like this. If the students from Shrek Academy joined, I can't imagine how much worse it might be!"
Beside her, Xu Lizhi chimed in, "Mmm, especially that major; he doesn't seem like someone easy to talk to!"
Wu Siduo said coldly, "Regardless, it's good that we managed to escape from the Northsea Legion. But we still need to be cautious and watch our surroundings, just in case they catch up to us..."
Tang Wulin shook his head, "It's unlikely, if they sent a soul airplane to chase us, we would have heard something by now!"
Yue Zhengyu stretched languidly, "Me too, let's get some sleep first..."
Suddenly, the entire soul airplane went into a massive roll, shaking everyone inside...
Xie Xie, sitting at the pilot's seat, said with a grim face, "Wulin, Zhengyu, stop chatting and come help control this thing! We're going to crash if you don't!"
