When Tang Shi returned to the Holy Court, he immediately went to see the dean. The dean was very fond of Tang Shi. Because Tang Shi was the most outstanding member of the Tang Family's younger generation, the dean immediately summoned Tang Shi.
When Tang Shi arrived at the dean's room, he immediately gave the dean a salute and said, "I have seen the Ancestor. Your great-great-grandson, Tang Shi, kowtows to you."
The dean smiled and said, "Alright, there's no need to be so polite. Sit down. I heard that you went to the Lost Soul City. How was it? Did you see anything? "
Tang Shi replied, "Ancestor, I was just about to tell you about this matter. After we arrived at the city, we were constantly being watched. We didn't have any chance to act alone. Moreover, people have been leading us around the city, but we couldn't find anything at all. However, I think that Tang Fei's death has nothing to do with the city." Tang Shi nodded and said, "That's right, I'm just about to tell you.
When the dean heard Tang Shi, he stared, then he looked at Tang Shi and said, "Oh? Why do you say that? "
Tang Shi replied, "Ancestor, this is what your grandson thinks. Although the Lost Soul City has always been disrespectful to the Holy Court, aside from the conflict with the Wen Family and the Dongfang Family, they didn't directly clash with us. The reason why they dealt with the Wen Family and the Dongfang Family was because the Wen Family wanted to deal with them. Moreover, the Holy Court sent Crane Tian to the Secret Realm. Crane Tian also went there and died. From this point, it can be seen that they don't want to directly clash with the Holy Court."
The dean frowned and said, "But they didn't let Little Fei enter the Lost Soul City. What's wrong with him? Isn't this showing a strong hostility towards the Holy Court? "
Tang Shi replied, "It's precisely because the Lost Hun city-state didn't allow Little Fei's group to enter the Lost Hun city-state that I don't think they are Little Fei's murderers. Since they didn't allow Little Fei to enter the Lost Hun city-state, it means that they already had a conflict with Little Fei. Now that Little Fei is dead, even if they weren't the primary suspects, they would still be suspected by us. Therefore, it's impossible for them to kill Little Fei at this time, it wouldn't do them any good. As for their hostility towards us, it should be related to the Empty Field Grasses. The Lost Hun city-state doesn't seem to have a River Breaking Realm expert, but the Empty Field Grasses might be a River Breaking Realm expert. Besides the Empty Field Grasses, the Lost Hun city-state only has their City Lord. But now that the Empty Field Grasses died in the Secret Realm because of us, they naturally wouldn't have any good feelings towards us."
The dean frowned and said, "Academy, what do you mean? Do you think that the Holy Court wants to have a good relationship with the Lost Soul City? "
Tang Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor misunderstood. It's impossible for the Holy Court to have a good relationship with the Lost Soul City, we also don't have the opportunity to do so. What I mean is that if the Holy Court wants to deal with the Lost Soul City, then it's best if we don't target them. This is because we would suffer a big loss if we do."
Tang Shi's words attracted the dean's attention. The dean looked at Tang Shi and said, "Oh, why do you say that? Could it be that the Lost Soul City has some other experts? "
Tang Shi shook his head and said, "There aren't any experts in the city, but the strength of the city cannot be underestimated. Most importantly, the citizens of the city support Zhao Hai. If we want to deal with the city, we would certainly be opposed by the citizens. They would fully support Zhao Hai in his war against us, which would be very disadvantageous for us." Tang Shi shook his head and said, "I don't think that there are any experts in the city.
The dean stared, then he looked at Tang Shi and said, "Oh? There's such a thing? Why do the commoners support Zhao Hai so much? "
Tang Shi told the dean about what he saw and heard in the Lost Soul City. After Tang Shi finished, the dean looked at Tang Shi and said, "Little Tang, is what you said true? Is the Lost Soul City really like this? Did they deliberately put on a play to deceive you? "
Tang Shi shook his head and said, "That's impossible. When I visited the city, I paid special attention to the alleys that people rarely use. However, the alleys were the same as the streets outside, they were very clean. Moreover, there are a lot of shops in the city. If the people there don't live a good life, then they wouldn't have so many shops. Therefore, I believe that what I saw was the real situation of the city." Tang Shi shook his head and said, "That's impossible."
The dean let out a long breath, then he slowly closed his eyes. After some time, he said, "It seems like now isn't the best time to deal with the Lost Soul City. Did you see Zhao Hai when you went to the Lost Soul City?"
Tang Shi shook his head and said, "I didn't. I heard that Zhao Hai is in seclusion. The reason why Stonehammer and the others are monitoring us is because Zhao Hai gave them an order."
The dean said, "It seems like we can't deal with Zhao Hai in a hurry. At this time, the other cities are still disgusted with the Sacred Academy. If we deal with Zhao Hai at this time, then it might cause the other cities to be dissatisfied."
Tang Shi looked at the dean and said, "Ancestor, I think that it's not as simple as the other cities being dissatisfied with us. Rather, all the other cities are hostile towards us."
When the dean heard this, he looked at Tang Shi and said, "All of them are hostile towards us? That's right. If they weren't hostile towards us, then they wouldn't have suppressed the families that we support. It seems like we've gone overboard in the past. We need to pay more attention in the future. Alright, Pete, you can go back. I already know about the Lost Soul City, you don't need to worry. " When Tang Shi saw the dean's expression, he knew that the dean didn't want to listen to him. He could only stand up and give the dean a salute before turning around and leaving.
Tang Shi exited the dean's room and let out a long sigh. He then walked back to his house. Actually, he still had something to say to the dean today. He felt that the disgust of the various city-states in the Spirit Weapon World towards the Sacred Court had already reached a certain level. The situation was much more serious than what the dean had imagined.
However, Tang Shi didn't take this matter to heart. In his opinion, although the other cities were dissatisfied with the Sacred Academy, they didn't have the guts to go to war with the Sacred Academy.
However, Tang Shi was one of the few people in the Sacred Academy who was clear-headed when it came to dealing with the Lost Soul City. This was because he knew that this wasn't the best time to attack the Lost Soul City. This was because if they attacked the Lost Soul City, not only would they have to face the dissatisfaction of the people in the city, they would also have to face the pressure of the Mystic Realm.
Although the Mystic Realm came from the Sacred Academy, it was still relatively independent. However, the elders of the Mystic Realm were still very close to the Sacred Academy. Moreover, the Mystic Realm needed the support of the Sacred Academy. Because of this, the Mystic Realm was very polite to the Sacred Academy, they even helped the Sacred Academy in dealing with people.
But at the same time, it was impossible for the Secret Realm to completely listen to the Sacred Court. If the Sacred Court went too far, then the people in the Secret Realm wouldn't listen to it. Just like if the Sacred Court wanted to wage war against the Lost Soul City, then the people in the Secret Realm would certainly stop it. This was because the Secret Realm was able to guarantee the safety of the families of the people in the Secret Realm. They were risking their lives in the Secret Realm in order to protect their families. If the Secret Realm didn't respect this agreement, then the people in the Secret Realm would know what would happen in the Secret Realm.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Tang Shi believed that they shouldn't make a move on the city of Lost Souls right now. It would be best to wait until ten years later when the Mystic Realm would no longer protect the city of Lost Souls. At that time, it would be best to make a move.
The reason why Tang Shi was afraid that the Sacred Court would deal with the Lost Hun city-state was because of the Lost Hun city-state. In the eyes of many people, the reason why the relationship between the Sacred Court and the other city-states was so stiff was because of the Lost Hun city-state. As long as the Sacred Court dealt with the Lost Hun city-state, then they would think of ways to teach the other city-states a lesson. Then nobody would dare to challenge the Sacred Court.
The reason why Tang Shi went to the Lost Soul City to investigate Tang Fei's matter was because he wanted to stir up trouble. He wanted the Lost Soul City to take the initiative to go to war with the Sacred Academy. This way, the Mystic Realm wouldn't be able to make a move.
The Mystic Realm promised to protect the safety of those who entered the Mystic Realm, as well as their family members. However, if their family members took the initiative to provoke the enemy, then the Mystic Realm would only mediate between them. They wouldn't easily act, otherwise, wouldn't they be used by others?
Tang Shi's initial idea was very simple, he wanted to go to the Lost Soul City to look for trouble. It would be best if the people in the Lost Soul City took the initiative to attack them. This way, they would have an excuse to deal with the Lost Soul City. Even if they couldn't destroy the Lost Soul City, they would still teach them a lesson. When the time comes, even if the people in the Mystic Realm knew about it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Once the people in the Mystic Realm mediate, then they would have taught the Lost Soul City a lesson. This would be enough to set an example for the other city-states to see that this was the consequence of offending the Sacred Academy.
However, after seeing the situation in the Lost Soul City, Tang Shi believed that there was a problem with the Sacred Academy's choice this time. The Lost Soul City wasn't easy to deal with. If they really dared to use force against the Lost Soul City, then they wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits. They might even lose face. If that's the case, then not only would the Sacred Academy fail to set an example, they would also lose face. If that's the case, then the other city-states wouldn't listen to the Sacred Academy's words.
What Tang Shi really cared about was this matter. He was afraid that attacking the Lost Soul City would have the opposite effect. Then all of the Sacred Academy's calculations would be in vain. Even if the Sacred Academy could use other methods to restore their influence, they would still need to put in a lot of effort. Tang Shi didn't think that the Sacred Academy had already lost its influence in the Spirit Weapon Realm. It had even reached the point where people hated it.
The reason why Tang Shi and the others had this idea was because they believed that what the Sacred Academy did to the Spirit Weapon Realm was the right thing to do. The Spirit Weapon Realm should be grateful to the Sacred Academy. Just like an evil person, he never thought that what he did was bad. He also didn't think that he had enemies, he thought that he was very likable.
