At these words, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes showed a few strands of surprise, and her brows slightly furrowed...
"I didn't expect the Battle God Hall's hall master to come personally. It seems the upcoming conversation won't be very peaceful!"
In her expectations, it was supposed to be Guan Yue, the Vice Hall Master, coming in person to apologize and then provide compensation for the Spirit Pagoda's losses...
And then take the opportunity to release a few War Gods...
At this moment, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flashed with a few strands of light as she spoke, "Pagoda Master, I need to leave for a moment."
Although not understanding what the former intended to do, Leng Yaozhu still softly voiced her approval with a "Hmm!"...
Seeing this, Bi Ji suggested, "Di Tian, that hall master from the War God Hall is an Ultimate Douluo. He might very well see through our real identities; perhaps we should temporarily leave as well?"
After pondering for a moment, Di Tian also felt there was some sense to this...
Bi Ji and himself would not be seen through, but it wasn't certain for the rest of the ferocious beasts!
Immediately, he addressed Leng Yaozhu, "Lord of the Cold Tower, it is not suitable for us to reveal our identities, so we will take our leave first!"
She naturally wouldn't object, "Alright, I'll handle things here. But I still have to trouble you all to keep an eye on the War God Temple Legion to avoid any accidents!"
After nodding in acknowledgment, Di Tian and his group turned and left...
The Spirit Transmission Tower Disciple, who had been bowing all this time, saw that the former had yet to respond to him and mustered his courage to say, "Um... Pagoda Master?"
Leng Yaozhu glanced at him and casually said, "Let the hall master of the Battle God Hall in!"
...
About a few minutes later, Chen Xinjie, led by a disciple of the Spirit Pagoda, arrived in the meeting hall...
As he looked up, their eyes met...
Leng Yaozhu, supporting her chin, said with a light laugh, "To think that the hall master of the War God Hall would personally visit the Spirit Pagoda, truly an honor for this place!"
Chen Xinjie could naturally detect the disdain mixed in her tone...
He did not show impatience, responding calmly, "You flatter me too much, Lord of the Cold Tower!"
Leng Yaozhu persisted, "So, what brings Lord Chen here? Surely it's not to have a heart-to-heart with this old woman, is it?"
Although she was of middle age, her skin was still delicate and in no way inferior to any young girl!
Even Ya Li, known as the kindest and most beautiful woman on the Continent, would pale slightly in her presence!
The tone of Chen Xinjie suddenly sharpened, "How could Lord Leng, with her ever-youthful looks, be considered an old woman? Moreover, the purpose of my visit is something I believe Lord Leng is well aware of."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's demeanor grew colder...
"I'm sorry, Lord Chen, but I truly don't understand what you mean!"
Chen Xinjie took a deep breath and began, "Recently, several War Gods from our Battle God Hall defied this hall master's orders and trespassed into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, causing a negative impact on the Spirit Pagoda."
"As the Battle God Hall's hall master, I too bear certain responsibilities!"
"Therefore, I would ask Lord Leng to show leniency and let them go. The War God Hall is willing to make amends!"
Leng Yaozhu replied leisurely, "Lord Chen, your personal appearance has already shown the War God Hall's sincerity, but I heard from those War Gods themselves that they were following your orders!"
"Now that makes things interesting!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie fell silent...
After a while, his expression changed abruptly, "Lord Leng, since that's the case, there's no need to beat around the bush. What exactly do you plan to do to agree to let them go?"
Leng Yaozhu looked directly at him, without a trace of fear...
"It's not a question of what I plan to do, but what the War God Hall plans to do."
"First, you use public opinion to slander us, then covertly send War Gods to spy on the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. These actions clearly show that you do not take the Spirit Pagoda seriously!"
The tone of the last sentence was considerably heavier...
Chen Xinjie also became agitated, "Whether it is slander or not, Lord of the Cold Tower, you know in your heart, and moreover... this matter was revealed by Qiangu Qingfeng, who once served as Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Our War God Hall needs to investigate this thoroughly."
It seemed Leng Yaozhu caught something from their words, "So you are saying... War God Hall still suspects our Spirit Pagoda of colluding with the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython?"
Chen Xinjie did not deny it, "That's right!"
"If that's the case, why doesn't Lord Chen personally go to Ten Thousand Beast Platform and investigate himself??"
"Moving two ferocious beasts away in a short time would not be a troublesome thing for the Spirit Pagoda!"
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Gu Yue's figure suddenly appeared...
"Lord Chen, then let the several War Gods of War God Hall speak for themselves about the results of the investigation,"
Upon seeing her, Chen Xinjie's pupils involuntarily narrowed, "Spirit Pagoda's Young Tower Master, Gu Yue?"
For some reason, he felt that this woman, who had not even broken through to become a Hyper Douluo, seemed more oppressive than Leng Yaozhu, who was a Pagoda Master!
No wonder she had captured Guan Yue's attention!
Gu Yue expressed her surprise, "Lord Chen actually knows of me?"
Chen Xinjie said calmly, "Of course, after all, the martial competition you hosted to choose a spouse even attracted our War God Hall's War Gods."
Gu Yue smiled slightly, "Is that so? That truly is an honor for me!"
"However, as for my proposal just now, what does Lord Chen think? Surely in front of you, the Hall Master, these War Gods would not dare to lie!"
This statement made Chen Xinjie's expression turn even uglier...
Why did Gu Yue have such strong confidence?
Could it be that those War Gods had already switched sides?
No, impossible!
He was quite clear about the character of the War Gods he had sent out, even at the cost of death, they would not betray the War God Hall!
Maybe, this was just the opponent's intimidation!
Thinking this, he forced himself to calm down, "I have no objections, I'm sure the War Gods will give the true answer!"
At this moment, Gu Yue turned towards Leng Yaozhu and respectfully said, "Pagoda Master, I request to bring the War Gods into the conference room!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, "Granted!"
So that was it, from the beginning, Gu Yue already had a plan to respond to Chen Xinjie's questioning!
Yet, these War Gods who had encountered the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, would they really follow Gu Yue's instructions?
Soon after, Gu Yue activated her communicator, "Let the War Gods come in!"
Quickly, the War Gods, shackled with the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs, entered the conference hall one after another...
Upon seeing the man ahead, their faces lit up with joy, "Hall Master!"
Chen Xinjie nodded, "Hmm!"
Seeing this, Gu Yue interrupted, "War Gods, this is not the time to reminisce, please tell us everything you saw at Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
"Lord Chen has been suspecting that there are two ferocious beasts, the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, inside our Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
