Chapter 95: Chapter 95 - Does the Shura Palace Collect Corpses?
Seeing Mu Zhuque's gaze fall upon him, the Second Ancestor couldn't help but sweat coldly and quickly agreed:
"First Ancestor, please calm down; you are right, there really is no one better than Xiao Yuan for this position."
Although he said these words as an excuse, the content was not a lie.
After all, in the last generation of the Sacred Land, Shen Yuanzhe was one of the few who managed to reach the Saint King Realm, and he is a three-star Saint King, while most still remain in the Saint Realm.
Therefore, although he knew that Mu Zhuque was naturally protecting his own disciple, he also knew that, at the moment, there was no one capable of replacing him in the position of Saint Lord.
After all, the strength of the Saint Lord of the Black Turtle Sacred Land would naturally represent the face of the entire Sacred Land. How could they be careless about this?
At the same time, the Second Ancestor couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment towards Shen Yuanzhe. He had been publicly reprimanded because of him!
'Since I can't punish him, I'll let someone who can...'
Suddenly, a thought arose in his mind, and the Second Ancestor couldn't help but show a slight cunning smile as he turned his gaze toward Shen Yuanzhe.
"Xiao Yuan, I really did get a bit carried away. How can I apologize?"
"I remember that you previously told me about the Shura Palace and how they killed the elders of our Sacred Land. Just tell me where they are located, and I will kill them all for you today!"
The Second Ancestor showed a gentle expression, as if an elder wished to do a favor for his junior.
It's worth noting that the Second Ancestor's acting is very good.
Worthy of an old fox of thousands of years!
However, when he heard these words, instead of feeling happy, Shen Yuanzhe's expression couldn't help but harden as he cursed internally.
Bastard!
Although it seemed that the Second Ancestor was showing goodwill, he was merely throwing in Shen Yuanzhe's face that he hadn't been able to resolve the problems of the Sacred Land and even left those who dared to offend the majesty of the Sacred Land alive!
And this right in front of his master, who always preached that the majesty of the Sacred Land is more important than anything, even their lives!
Certainly, as soon as he heard these words, Mu Zhuque's expression inevitably turned terribly dark.
"Is there such a thing, Xiao Yuan?"
Mu Zhuque turned his fierce gaze toward Shen Yuanzhe and asked, with suppressed rage in his voice.
He had been raised and had worked his entire life for the good of the Black Turtle Sacred Land.
In his opinion, the majesty of the Black Turtle Sacred Land was supreme; even if someone dared to speak ill of the Sacred Land, their entire family should be exterminated.
Now, someone had just claimed that in the eastern region, there were other forces that even dared to kill the elders of the Sacred Land. How could he not be furious?
"Well... Master, this is true, but it's because..."
Slap!
Now that the situation had reached this point, Shen Yuanzhe no longer dared to hide and wanted to explain the situation of the Shura Palace to his master.
However, as soon as he began to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his face.
Did he just get hit by his master?
Shen Yuanzhe thought as he placed his hand on his stinging face.
Although Mu Zhuque couldn't use his cultivation, his physical strength as a Half-Step Great Saint was extremely strong, which instantly left Shen Yuanzhe's face swollen!
"Xiao Yuan, you have really disappointed me greatly."
Mu Zhuque showed a very disappointed expression, looking at his disciple who had even allowed those who insulted his Sacred Land, which he had protected all his life, to live.
After doing this, Mu Zhuque turned his gaze to the other ancestors present and ordered coldly:
"Pass my command. I want the Shura Dynasty... Shura Palace, or whatever it is called, to no longer exist by tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, First Ancestor!"
All the other ancestors bowed to receive the order.
Then, Mu Zhuque turned his gaze to Shen Yuanzhe, who was kneeling on the ground with his face swollen from the slap, and asked where the Shura Palace was located.
"Xiao Yuan."
"Tell the ancestors the location of the Shura Palace!"
As soon as he heard this, Shen Yuanzhe couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he still responded with a pained expression on his face to his Master's question:
"Master, this is the problem. I ordered investigations on the Shura Palace, and to this day, no one has discovered its true location."
"That's why I couldn't destroy the Shura Palace earlier."
That was what he wanted to explain earlier, but he was interrupted by the furious slap from his master!
"You mean that, with all the resources of our Sacred Land, not to mention the destruction of the enemy, you couldn't even find out their location?"
"I must say, Shen Yuanzhe, you are truly incompetent."
When the Second Ancestor heard this, he couldn't help but start reprimanding Shen Yuanzhe fiercely.
This time, even Mu Zhuque didn't interrupt him; he just frowned in discontent.
But this time, the discontent was not directed at the Second Ancestor, but rather at his own disciple, Shen Yuanzhe.
One thing would be for him to say he couldn't destroy the enemy's forces but had done his best; but now he wanted to say that, with all the resources of one of the two supreme forces in the eastern region, he couldn't even discover the enemy's location?
'Was my choice wrong?'
Mu Zhuque couldn't help but have some doubts at that moment about his decision to support Shen Yuanzhe for the position of Holy Lord of the Sacred Land of the Black Turtle.
While he thought, the anxious voice of Shen Yuanzhe sounded again:
"But I managed to uncover some information after all the investigations: the Shura Palace is lying about one thing!"
"They say they have a policy of destroying corpses, but through my investigations, I discovered that, in fact, they seem to collect the bodies of the dead."
