Chapter 3036: Release the Soul Beast_1

Yuanen Yehui gently lifted his teacup and sipped, his expression indifferent as he said, "Zhengyu is right, judging from the battle between Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor, our side is absolutely superior in strength."

"It was only because of carelessness that he was sucked into the black hole and sent back in time!"

Xie Xie's face remained exceedingly grim, "Eh, that's easy to say, but we don't know exactly how many years back he went. What if, at that time, Teacher Xu hadn't yet achieved Godhood?"

Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but glare at him and scolded, "Xie Xie, do you always have to be such a pessimist? Can't you say something more positive?"

"Besides, even if Teacher Xu hasn't broken through to Godhood, wouldn't the Abyssal Emperor also not have achieved Divine King status??"

"Abyssal creatures that haven't matured aren't anything compared to soul masters with intelligence!"

Slapping his head, Xie Xie exclaimed with joy, "Right... right, how did I not think of that!"

"Abyssal creatures struggle even to awaken intelligence, how could they possibly be a match for Teacher Xu!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked toward the silent Tang Wulin, "Wulin, what do you think??"

Returning to his senses, Tang Wulin covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Cough cough... Although I don't want to dampen everyone's spirits, let's not forget that the Abyssal Emperor wields the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Trident, a super divine weapon whose power far surpasses my Sea God's Trident!"

"Even for Teacher Xu, that might pose some difficulties!"

Although both are super divine weapons, after so many battles with the Abyssal Emperor, the gap is clearly evident!

Xu Xiaoyan's attractive eyebrows slightly raised, "Wulin, why are you too saying such disheartening things, don't you believe in Teacher Xu?"

Tang Wulin hurriedly clarified, "Of course I believe in Teacher Xu, but..."

He had never doubted Teacher Xu, his concern was merely born from worry!

But before he could fully articulate his thoughts, Xu Xiaoyan forcefully cut off the topic...

"Since you believe in Teacher Xu, then there's no need to say more about it!"

She feared that continuing this conversation would affect everyone's morale...

Hearing this, Tang Wulin also kept his unrevealed thoughts to himself...

He nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yan, you're right, since we trust Teacher Xu, there's no need to worry so much!"

At that moment, Xu Lizhi stopped stuffing his face and suddenly suggested, "Well... why don't we all eat first? It'll get cold soon!"

He didn't know what to say, but he knew how to lighten the mood at times like this...

...

Spirit Pagoda!

A disciple of the Spirit Transmission Tower walked into the great hall, his body trembling as he bowed, not even daring to look directly at Gu Yuena sitting above...

But he summoned all his strength and reported in a low voice, "Report to the Pagoda Master, the team we sent to the Douling Empire to investigate has... all vanished without a trace, not a single one has returned!"

Before anyone could respond, Di Tian roared in rage, "So many were sent out, and not one has returned; what are they good for!"

The situation was already somewhat unstable while discussing certain issues with His Lordship earlier!

Now that such infuriating news was heard, it was natural to vent all his anger upon the messenger...

Of course, the bigger issue was that the Spirit Pagoda had invested so much in these disciples, and yet they couldn't even handle this minor task!

This terrifying aura caused the messenger disciple to fall to the ground, not daring to even breathe too loudly...

However, Gu Yuena, who had been seated at the head of the table without showing any emotion, spoke softly, "No one has returned? It seems the Ghost Emperor's plan has succeeded!"

"He has completely turned all soul masters in the Douling Empire into evil Soul Masters!"

It's likely that the members of the Spirit Pagoda were ambushed by evil Soul Masters as soon as they stepped into the empire's territory, not even managing to send a message!

Di Tian said coldly, "My Lord, shall we send more people to the Douling Empire to gather information?"

Understanding the situation of the Douling Empire was beneficial for the implementation of the next step of the plan!

Gu Yuena shook her head, "There is no need, since the Douling Empire had already been completely controlled by the evil Soul Masters, sending more Spirit Pagoda members there would only lead to their pointless deaths!"

She wasn't worried about the life or death of these members, she just didn't want to waste time on this!

Hearing this, Di Tian turned to look at the man kneeling on the ground and chastised, "Well? Aren't you going to scram?"

The latter shuddered, quickly stood up, and left the Council Hall...

Only after his presence had completely disappeared...

...did Gu Yuena fix her silvery eyes on Di Tian, "Di Tian, you should have calmed down by now, right?"

Di Tian met her gaze without evasion and answered, "My Lord, I have always been calm!"

But Gu Yuena had completely seen through his facade...

"If you were truly calm, you wouldn't have vented your anger on that member!"

Di Tian chose silence...

After a while, he finally sighed, "I apologize, my Lord, I just feel that returning these soul beasts we've painstakingly recreated back into the soul beast forest..."

"Unfortunately, it won't be long before they are discovered by humans and then slaughtered!"

Their goal was to revive their race, not to revive soul beasts only to have them slaughtered by humans with great effort!

Gu Yuena's eyes flickered with a few strands of light, "As a soul beast yourself, Di Tian, I can understand your feelings!"

"However, for the sake of our goal, some sacrifices are inevitable!"

Releasing the soul beasts back into the soul beast forest was an intentional act!

Di Tian knew he could not change her decision and did not insist further...

"My Lord, I trust that there is a good reason for you doing this, but please forgive me for not accepting it!"

"If you insist on doing so, please allow Bi Ji to take care of these matters!"

In these hundreds of thousands of years, he had already witnessed too many soul beasts dying at the hands of humans!

He didn't want to experience such a blow again!!

Gu Yuena agreed to the request, "Alright, as you have said, I will entrust Bi Ji to handle this matter completely!"

Only then did Di Tian clasp his fists and say, "Thank you, my Lord, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave now!"

Not being personally involved in such matters was already the bottom line for him as the lord of the Aquipeia Forest!

With that said, he no longer spoke and vanished from sight...

It was then that Gu Yuena closed her eyes and said to herself, "Bi Ji, you must have heard all that, right? Do you have any objections to this decision?"

Bi Ji's voice came through the communicator...

"To my Lord, since Di Tian is unwilling to take over, let me handle it. I will certainly not disappoint you!"

With an affirmative response, Gu Yuena finally relaxed...

"Very good, do not delay. Begin your actions tomorrow!"

At least, they had to take advantage of the fact that the Ghost Emperor and his evil Soul Masters hadn't begun their trouble-making, to implement the plan sooner!!!
