After returning to the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yue immediately sought out Leng Yaozhu and respectfully said, "Pagoda Master!"
Upon seeing her, Leng Yaozhu smiled lightly and said, "Gu Yue, you're back, have you taken care of the matters at the branch pagoda?"
Not a hint of suspicion could be detected...
Gu Yue nodded and replied, "Yes, everything has been dealt with. The entrance to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform has been successfully constructed and will be ready for use in a few days!"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips slightly, "That's good to hear! You've worked hard!"
Just then, Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes flickered, and she spoke again, "Pagoda Master, actually there's another matter I would like to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu asked curiously, "What is it? There's no need to be restrained in front of me!"
Without hesitation, Gu Yue suggested, "The environment inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is too realistic, and the core area is home to terrifying ferocious beasts. I propose designating this region as a forbidden area, prohibiting human Soul Masters from entering!"
"Otherwise, just the intimidating presence alone could scare lower-level Soul Masters into having issues!"
Leng Yaozhu furrowed her brows, "But... everything inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform should be virtual, right? Even if they encounter a ferocious beast, there shouldn't be any real danger to their lives!"
"Isn't this measure a bit superfluous?"
She felt even more strongly than before that Gu Yue might indeed be hiding something from her regarding the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
Gu Yue fell silent... for a moment she didn't know how to convince her!
As if seeing through her thoughts, Leng Yaozhu said indifferently, "Very well, since it's a suggestion from you, Gu Yue, there must be a reason. I agree to designate the core area of the Aquipeia Forest as a forbidden zone!"
Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief inside, "Thank you, Pagoda Master!"
In doing so, she had also fulfilled her promise to those two!
After a pause, she spoke again, "Then I will take my leave now!"
Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, "Wait... Gu Yue, are you hiding something from me about the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"
Gu Yue's pupils contracted, "Why would Pagoda Master ask that, did someone tell you something?"
The matter of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform had been handled stealthily; she thought Leng Yaozhu shouldn't have discovered anything!
So... it could only have been Qiangu Qingfeng, who was skilled in mental domains, who might have noticed!
Leng Yaozhu shook her head, "No one has told me anything, Gu Yue, it's just that you seem quite different today compared to usual!"
With those words, Gu Yue confirmed that Qiangu Qingfeng must have discussed something with her!
However, she asked without showing a change in her expression, "Pagoda Master, the one who told you about this must be Qiangu Qingfeng, right?
"He probably also said that my intentions are not pure..."
Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes, "Gu Yue, how do you know that?"
Gu Yue looked straight at her and said word by word, "Because it is true. Apart from providing Soul Masters with a more realistic combat environment, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform indeed serves another purpose."
"That is..."
Her thin lips softly uttered a few words...
After hearing this, Leng Yaozhu widened her eyes in disbelief...
Her expression grew complicated as she said, "So that's how it is, no wonder you built the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, I didn't expect it to have such a capability."
Gu Yue exuded a trace of chilliness, "Pagoda Master, let me be clear in advance, if Qiangu Qingfeng tries to disrupt my plan, I will stop at nothing to eliminate him!"
Leng Yaozhu sighed, "Regarding Qiangu Qingfeng, I don't want you to act against him, and of course, I won't allow him to sabotage your plan, either!"
Without Qiangu Qingfeng, she wouldn't have been able to secure her position as the Spirit Pagoda's master!
She truly didn't want to see infighting!
After all, they both held significant places in her heart!
"Then I'll leave it in your hands from now on, Pagoda Master!"
If possible, she too did not wish to lay a hand on a Limit Douluo level powerhouse!
...
Several days later...
Two tall men donned in black robes walked into the Spirit Pagoda...
Although they did not emit any aura, their invisible icy presence made people wary of approaching them!
The two of them were none other than the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape!
The Titan Ape glanced around and said in surprise, "Big brother, is this the Spirit Pagoda? I didn't expect it to have grown to such a scale!"
The Azure Oxpython nodded slightly, "Hmm, it has changed a lot since ten thousand years ago. Likewise, the Spirit Pagoda is also the fundamental cause of the soul beasts' extinction!"
The Titan Ape curled his lips and added, "Humph, if it weren't for Tang San's prohibition back then, we would have destroyed these things long ago, and they wouldn't have been passed down to this day!"
As they were speaking, a woman from the front desk approached them with a smile...
"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"
The Azure Oxpython asked without changing his demeanor, "Do you know about the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"
Upon hearing this, the woman answered, "Of course, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is the latest invention of our Spirit Pagoda. Considering your attire, you must have come here with great expectations to use the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, right?"
"However, I am sorry to inform you that there are a lot of people using it right now, and you must make a reservation..."
The Titan Ape said in displeasure, "What? We need to make a reservation?"
They had finally found this place, only to be told they needed to reserve!
Wasn't this equivalent to a wasted trip?
The Azure Oxpython gave him a look and then said softly, "It's fine, please help us make the reservation."
The woman nodded, "Okay, please tell me your names and pay three hundred thousand federation coins!"
Upon hearing this, the former immediately took out a box about half a meter in size, "We don't have federation coins, can this serve as a substitute?"
The woman gasped, "What's inside this?"
The Azure Oxpython replied, "Soul bones! Soul bones produced by ten-thousand-year soul beasts..."
The woman was shocked, "Soul bones produced by ten-thousand-year soul beasts??"
Nowadays, you couldn't even see a ten-year soul beast, let alone a hundred-thousand-year one!
This man was able to casually produce such a costly item, his identity and status must be extraordinary!
Thinking this, she carefully took it...
After opening it and confirming the contents, she spoke with a respectful tone, "Gentlemen, I have made the reservation for you. You can come here to use the Ten Thousand Beast Platform the afternoon after tomorrow!"
"As for the remaining federation coins, they will be refunded to you at the market value!"
The Azure Oxpython nodded, then left the Spirit Pagoda with the Titan Ape...
After stepping out, the Titan Ape grumbled, "Big brother, are we just leaving like this?"
The Azure Oxpython replied somewhat amused, "Otherwise, what do you want to do?"
The Titan Ape clenched his fists, "We could have just used force to make them comply, couldn't we?"
The Azure Oxpython shook his head, "It's not that simple. Just in this Spirit Pagoda headquarters alone, there are at least two Limit Douluos! Plus… there's its scent."
The Titan Ape swallowed hard, "It? Do you mean..."
The Azure Oxpython did not deny it, "Hmm, it seems that the one named Gu Yue did not deceive us! She really plans to revive the Soul Beast Clan!"
"We'll find out the specifics the day after tomorrow!"
