God Of War Dad

At the mention of this news, Mr. Sun and the others glanced at each other, all showing expressions of shock! Could the Grand Master be overthrown?

Recently, there had been all sorts of rumors and gossip swirling around about Lord North, causing a stir throughout the North Kingdom. Mr. Sun and the others, as elders of the Buddha Academy branch, naturally heard about it, and they paid even more attention to the development of this matter than outsiders!

And now!

Dean Hastiff actually told them that Lord North’s position as the Grand Master would very likely be replaced after the upcoming grand martial arts competition of this session!

How could they not be astonished?

You see!

In the North Kingdom, Lord North’s status and prestige had always been very high, second only to the Lord of the North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell. He could be described as second only to the Lord, and above all others. The three thousand disciples of the Buddha Academy took pride in the Grand Master!

Even!

They regarded Lord North as their lifelong pursuit, considering Lord North as their faith!

So!

The downfall of the Grand Master was tantamount to the collapse of their faith!!!

“Dean! This…”

Amidst their shock, one of the elders, incredulous, asked, “Is the news reliable? Isn’t the relationship between the Grand Master and His Majesty the Emperor supposed to be unbreakable? Based solely on the actions of the Grand Master in the war with the Shirine Empire, it should not constitute treason or disobedience, right?”

“After all!”

“Based on the situation at the time, it seems… it seems not inappropriate for the Grand Master to have chosen as he did! If, without evidence, one insists on saying that the Grand Master deliberately spared General Wolf Sean’s life, I personally think that would be purely adding insult to injury!!!”

Clearly!This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

That elder was also a loyal follower of Lord North!

“I also think so!”

“So do I!”

Soon!

The other elders spoke up one after another, all standing on Lord North’s side, protesting for Lord North’s injustice!

“Hush!”

Hastiff, however, glared at them, with a serious expression, saying, “Quiet, be careful what you say! It’s fine for us to talk like this in private, but once it spreads, and His Majesty the Emperor finds out, at that time, whether the Grand Master has committed treason and disobedience or not, our crime of great disrespect will be unavoidable!”

Yes!

Great disrespect!

The accusation against the Grand Master came from the Imperial City, and Albert Sitwell did not stop it, nor did he clarify, but let the rumors spread throughout the North Kingdom. Clearly, this was Albert Sitwell’s intention!

Albert Sitwell had determined that Lord North had committed treason and disobedience!

At this time!

Who dared to stand up and protest for Lord North’s injustice? That would be the same as questioning Albert Sitwell’s judgment, defying the imperial power. Who the hell could bear the accusation of “great disrespect”??

“Yes!”

Mr. Sun and the others gritted their teeth, sighed inwardly, and could only swallow the unfinished words back into their stomachs. The principle of “if the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die” was naturally understood by them!

After a moment!

Hastiff continued, “You also know that my younger brother, Pastiff, in terms of talent and cultivation, is not inferior to me. He has always served as an elder in the Imperial City Grand Academy. The news he personally transmitted to us is definitely not false!”

Pastiff!

Upon hearing this name, Mr. Sun and the others’ hearts trembled slightly, immediately understanding Hastiff’s intention!

Hastiff’s words should only have said half of it!

If Lord North really fell from power, then who would take over Lord North’s position and become the next Grand Master of the Buddha Academy? According to common sense, it was very likely to be chosen from among the elders of the Grand Academy or the deans of the branch academies!

A leap to the top!

Hastiff was the dean of the Plainwater Town branch, and Pastiff was an elder in the Imperial City Grand Academy!

So!

Both of them had a chance!

This!

Was also the reason why Hastiff attached so much importance to this session’s grand martial arts competition!

Understood!

They all understood!

Mr. Sun and the others were all cunning old foxes. Knowing it in their hearts was enough; they naturally would not naively say it out loud. So, they exchanged glances and said, “Please rest assured, Dean, we will do our best!”

The matter of Lord North was not something they could intervene in!

However!

If Lord North’s downfall was a foregone conclusion, then, in their grief and indignation, if the next Grand Master really fell on either Hastiff or Pastiff, the Plainwater Townbranch academy would also rise with it. As elders of the Plainwater Town branch academy, their status and position would also undergo a drastic change!

In plain words!

The allocation of the position of Grand Master concerned everyone’s vital interests. Otherwise, Hastiff would not so easily reveal his ambitions to Mr. Sun and the others, because he knew, faced with such a rare opportunity and such great temptation, Mr. Sun and the others had no reason to refuse…

On the other side!

While the Buddha Academy was working on two fronts, one side was searching the entire city for the whereabouts of “Great Ape,” and on the other, selecting elite disciples from the academy, the real “Great Ape” Sean, under the guise of “Great Monkey,” had left the Steer family villa and traveled north, returning to the northern suburbs!

It seemed!

As if he was going back to the peasant’s house where he had been before!

An old one-eyed man had been following Sean not far behind, never showing himself. When they passed through a remote and wild forest, Sean became somewhat impatient!

Damn it!

How long is he going to follow me? Could it be… he wants to follow me to find the Gorillas’ lair??

Unfortunately!

The so-called Gorillas consisted of only Sean himself, and there was no lair to go to!

So!

Since the one-eyed old man didn’t show himself, Sean had to force him to appear!

“You!”

“Are you afraid of death?”

As Sean walked, he suddenly stopped, and without looking back, he said in a deep voice, “From the Steer family villa to here, I’ve already given you a chance to escape!”

“Do you know?”

“The last person who tracked me like this probably has grass half a meter high on his grave!”

His voice was cold as ice!

After a moment!

A voice, even in broad daylight, sounded eerie and came from behind Sean in response, “It seems like you’re not afraid of death!”

“In fact!”

“I have never made a move because I wanted to give you a chance to escape!”

“Heh heh!”

“The last person I tracked like this had his bones gnawed into crumbs by the wild wolves in the mountains!”

A standoff!

Obviously!

Even after witnessing Sean defeat the Steer family patriarch with a single move and break the dragon-headed cane with his bare hands, the one-eyed old man still showed no fear or timidity in the face of Sean. It was as if he was confident, even if Sean dared to lay hands on him, he would not be afraid!

“Is that so?”

Sean still didn’t turn around, snorted, and said, “So, you’re looking for death?”

“No!”

The one-eyed old man said, “I’m here to give you a chance!”

“Or rather!”

“I’m giving you a choice!”

At this, Sean sneered inwardly. After all this fuss, it seemed that the time for reaping the rewards had finally come!

“Oh?”

Sean asked curiously, “Well, let’s hear it!”

The one-eyed old man was straightforward, saying, “Hall of Jade, ever heard of it? I am the deputy master of the Plainwater Town branch of the Hall of Jade; you can call me Single Eye!”

“Your talent is not bad!”

“So!”

“I’m giving you a chance to join the Hall of Jade and serve the Hall of Jade!”

Single Eye!

The nickname was quite fitting. However, it surprised Sean that after causing such a stir in the Steer family, he had actually hooked a big fish and attracted the deputy master of the Plainwater Town branch of the Hall of Jade!

“Just you?”

Sean felt secretly pleased. However, on the surface, he put on an indifferent air and even said somewhat disdainfully, “With your level of cultivation and strength, you can become the deputy master of the Hall of Jade branch. It seems that the Hall of Jade you’re talking about isn’t that great after all!”

“Not even as good as a lackey of my Gorillas!”

There was no way around it!

People from Gorillas were meant to be arrogant!

Otherwise!

It would be easy to arouse suspicion from this Single Eye!

“Is that so!”

“Do you want to give it a try?”

Single Eye seemed to be somewhat provoked by Sean’s contempt, and his already sinister voice suddenly became even colder and more chilling. He sneered, “If you have the guts, I can let you see whether Hall of Jade is truly formidable or not!”

“But!”

“I must remind you of one thing: voluntarily joining Hall of Jade and joining after I have crippled you will lead to vastly different treatment and fates!”

Oh?!

Single Eye’s words left Sean somewhat astonished. Sean was certain that, like the ancestor of the Steer family, Single Eye had only achieved the complete mastery of dark energy and had not become a practitioner close to the Bright Realm. Therefore, Sean couldn’t comprehend where Single Eye’s confidence came from. How could he be so sure that he could take Sean on single-handedly and cripple him?

“Alright!”

“Let’s give it a try. If you truly have the capability to cripple me, instead of being killed by me, then I will, as you wish, join the Hall of Jade!”

With that!

Sean finally turned around slowly and looked at Single Eye, who had already appeared and was standing about ten meters behind him. Two people, three eyes, with their icy gazes clashing across the space!

Tension was at its peak!

“Good!”

As the deputy master of the Hall of Jade’s sub-hall in Plainwater Town, Single Eye’s main task was to find suitable Complete Stage practitioners and bring them into the sub-hall as their test subjects!

He had never failed for many years!

Therefore!

Although he was at the Complete Stage, he possessed combat power that surpassed the Complete Stage. Otherwise, he would have probably been killed long ago by someone as arrogant as Sean!

“Then…”

“Come on!”

The moment the words fell, Single Eye had no hesitation. The vigorous dark energy within his body burst out completely in an instant. He turned into a fierce tiger, transforming into a residual image, moving at an extreme speed, and with a whoosh, he rushed towards Sean, who was about ten meters away!!!
