"That's enough! I never forced her to admit defeat! Believe it or not, would I, a Shrek who has been passed down for thousands of years, lie about this? It is a fact that the Shrek Seven Devils led by our ancestor Tang San defeated the Spirit Hall for the first time thousands of years ago! Even the Pope at that time did not say anything about cheating!"

Elder Xuan released a ninety-eight-level pressure that shocked the entire place, forcing everyone present to remain silent.

Old Xuan knew that this was not the right thing to do, but not only was he fooled by Xiao Qiang, but Yan Shaozhe also seemed to be fooled by him.

Although forcibly using soul power to seal other people's mouths would increase other people's suspicion, Old Xuan felt that if he continued to talk, Shrek might be labeled as an evil soul master by Xiao Qiang.

While the situation is still barely controllable, and many things are still in the suspicion stage, it is better to stop here than to find out some real evidence of Shrek at that time. So after a brief hesitation, Old Xuan rarely used his brain to make a choice.

They used their victory over the Spirit Hall to prove that Shrek had always been strong, and this was something they were proud of, but...

"It is a fact that you defeated the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. Didn't the Pope accuse you of cheating?"

"It's true that the Pope didn't say you cheated, but did you really not cheat ten thousand years ago? At that time, the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Competition required soul masters to be under 25 years old, but it seems that a 100,000-year-old soul beast sneaked into your group."

"If we talk about the overall age, the average age of the players in your match was over 10,000 years old. Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast was on the field. Isn't this considered cheating?"

Elder Xuan was so angry that his teeth were about to break when he saw Xiao Qiang being covered by the unbreakable shield, but what he said was the truth. "Senior Xiao Wu is not comparable to an ordinary soul beast! She is a kind soul beast! And she has also been reincarnated as a human, so she is naturally the same as a real human!"

"What you said, kind soul beasts, humans and soul beasts are the same, this is..."

"Forget it, you are right. You are the best academy in the continent. Even if I lie with my eyes open, what can others say or do? I still have to shut up under your pressure. I am only relying on the protection of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Otherwise, I would have been slapped to death by you."

Old Xuan was so angry at Xiao Qiang that he almost said, "I know it." However, thinking that he had been led into inexplicable circles by Xiao Qiang many times, he restrained himself and said nothing.

Xiao Qiang watched as Old Xuan opened his mouth but then closed it again, knowing that his psychological suggestion had not been successful this time. However, Xiao Qiang did not care too much. He had said almost everything that needed to be said. Although he had not yet led them in the direction of evil soul masters, just the suspicion of these things was enough to make them feel very upset.

It would not be a good idea to reveal all the information at once. We have to give others some time to accept it. The rest can be discussed during the second competition. It just so happens that many more powerful sects will join the next competition.

"Shrek never intended to cheat. What happened before was just Huo Yuhao's personal behavior. That's all we have to say. You should let Beibei go."

"No, even if you don't admit to cheating, you can't deny that you attacked me and almost slapped me to death."

Yan Shaozhe clenched his fists. "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"teacher."

Jing Hongchen laughed. Not only did he laugh under the mask, but the mask laughed as well. "How can this be so embarrassing? How about this? Just take another copy of the things you took before. Don't bargain. My sincerity is already very strong. If you insist on bargaining, then I, as a disciple, can be easily impulsive."

Threats, naked threats! But Beibei's identity was there, and all Yan Shaozhe could do was to grit his teeth and accept this unfortunate thing.

"good!"

Soon, people from Shrek swiped their cards and the resources provided by the Star Luo Empire were handed over to Jing Hongchen, which seemed to be a familiar process.

"I've already given you the things, it's time to let the person go!"

Hearing that Beibei could not be released, Old Xuan and Yan Shaozhe could no longer sit still. Beibei was Old Mu's only great-great-grandson. It would be easy to deal with if something happened to others, but if something happened to Beibei, they would not know how to explain to Old Mu.

"What conditions will you give to release him?"

"There are no conditions. I can't let this person go. Otherwise, what if you guys just jump out and slap me to death? This is not the first time that old man has tried to attack me out of disrespect for his age."

Xuan Lao was so angry that he wanted to curse, but what Xiao Qiang said was true and he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.

Knowing that Xiao Qiang was determined not to release him, Yan Shaozhe looked at Jing Hongchen. "Tell me, what conditions will you take to release him?"

Jing Hongchen looked at Beibei, thought for a while, then raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Lexuan.

"Seal her soul power and use her in exchange. The life of the eldest sister of Shrek Academy is in my hands. Only then can I believe that you dare not attack my disciples at will."

Old Xuan and Yan Shaozhe looked at each other, and both could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Beibei is Mr. Mu’s great-great-grandson, so nothing must happen to him. But Zhang Lexuan’s situation is also not likely to get into trouble!

Beibei represents bloodline, while Zhang Lexuan makes up for Beibei's lack of strength. After all, Beibei's talent is just so-so. Without Zhang Lexuan, he won't be able to convince others with his strength in the Poseidon Pavilion in the future.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

It was precisely because of Zhang Lexuan's identity that the hunt for the eighth soul ring was led by Elder Xuan, who was ranked second in Shrek's strength. Although an accident occurred during the journey, that was not the intention of Elder Mu and Elder Xuan after all.

Mr. Mu had good intentions, but Mr. Xuan executed it incorrectly. Fortunately, the final result could barely be considered a good thing for Zhang Lexuan.

But now they have to hand over Zhang Lexuan, who Shrek has invested so much resources to train...

"Use me in exchange for Beibei. I owe Mr. Mu a favor, and this is what I should do."

When Master Xuan and Yan Shaozhe were in a tangle, Zhang Lexuan stood up. The outcome of exchanging him for Beibei was certain, and at least she could look more decent by standing up herself.

"Good boy, I am sorry for this."

Old Xuan raised his hand to seal Zhang Lexuan's soul power, and then Jing Hongchen took out two specially made soul guides and held Zhang Lexuan's hands respectively, which served as an additional double insurance.

Feeling that Zhang Lexuan's soul power had stopped flowing, and after scanning with the soul guide, there was no chance that Zhang Lexuan could break through the restraints of the soul guide, Jing Hongchen felt slightly relieved.

However, Jing Hongchen's relief does not mean that Xiao Qiang is very relieved. He adheres to the principle of confronting when something happens, but trying to be as clean as possible and not causing too much unnecessary trouble for himself. After Jing Hongchen restrained Zhang Lexuan, Xiao Qiang prepared to add an extra insurance on Zhang Lexuan's side.

So, Xiao Qiang silently took out a soul guide collar that could explode.

"Don't resist Miss Le Xuan. You don't want anything to happen to Bei Bei, do you?"
