Chapter 2230: Modify Memory (Please Subscribe)_1

The War Gods exchanged glances, each of their eyes revealing a bit of bewilderment...

Then, they turned to look at Chen Xinjie as if asking what to do next...

Considering Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue were also present, he couldn't offer reminders and had to speak in a calm tone, "Speak what you know, I do not wish for any one of you to lie!"

The leading War God upon hearing this began, "After we entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, we saw a fabricated space resembling the Aquipeia Forest, filled with many soul beasts comparable to real ones, but upon killing them, they all vanished without trace!"

Chen Xinjie asked expressionlessly, "What about the core area?"

Another War God pursed his lips and answered, "The core area is indeed much more realistic than the periphery, but after our thorough investigation, we didn't find anything special!"

Gu Yue's lips curled into an arc, "In other words, none of you War Gods found any trace of ferocious beasts in the core area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, right?"

The War Gods fell silent for a few seconds before eventually nodding...

It was then that Leng Yaozhu joined the conversation, "Lord Chen, I think the answer to this matter should be quite clear now. Our Spirit Pagoda did not unlawfully breed ferocious beasts."

Chen Xinjie's expression flickered uncertainly...

He had initially suspected that the War Gods might be under the control of the War God Hall...

But just now, he had used a soul power fluctuation to sense the War Gods' status and had not detected any signs of control!

This meant that the War Gods were merely recounting what they had witnessed...

Yet for some reason, he felt there was more to the story deep down!

Seeing him unresponsive, Gu Yue added, "What's wrong? Lord Chen, surely you don't distrust the War Gods of the War God Hall as well?"

Chen Xinjie's eyes regained their clarity, "No, that's not what I'm implying!"

After a pause, he continued, "This time, we in the War God Hall were indeed too credulous of Qiangu Qingfeng. We rashly took action against the Spirit Pagoda!"

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu's stern expression softened slightly, "Lord Chen, a mere apology won't clear the slander against our Spirit Pagoda from the outside world!"

At this point, it was also acceptable to take a step back; otherwise, pushing the hall master of the Battle God Hall into desperation wouldn't bode well for the Spirit Pagoda!

Chen Xinjie seemed to grasp her meaning and nodded, "The War God Hall will take responsibility for upholding the damaged reputation of the Spirit Pagoda, and compensation will be settled within a few days."

Leng Yaozhu showed a satisfied expression, "Gu Yue, remove the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs from the War Gods. They must have realized the severity of infiltrating the Spirit Pagoda on their own!"

Gu Yue gave a slight nod, "Yes!"

Then, she produced the key and removed the bindings from the War Gods...

As the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs fell to the ground, the previously suppressed soul power fluctuations of the War Gods surged forth instantly, emitting a frightening aura!

Let's not forget, they are all of Super Douluo Level!

They were about to speak up but were stopped by Chen Xinjie...

He took a deep breath and clasped his fists, "Lord of the Cold Tower, then we shall not impose any further."

Some matters, he would need to verify carefully upon returning to the War God Hall!

Leng Yaozhu also stood up, her face unchanged as she said, "Please feel free to leave, Lord Chen..."

And so, Chen Xinjie led the War Gods out of the conference hall...

Only then did Leng Yaozhu curiously turn to the girl who would soon succeed her...

"Gu Yue, how did you manage it, that these War Gods chose to deceive Lord Chen?"

Gu Yue shook her head and explained, "Pagoda Master, it's not like that. The War Gods did not deceive Lord Chen; what they said is indeed what they saw with their own eyes!"

The former's confusion deepened on her cheeks, "But how..."

Gu Yue blinked her eyes and said, "I know what you want to ask, but can this be considered my secret?"

She didn't use any extraordinary methods, just forcefully stripped those War Gods of their memories with the help of the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython!

Afterwards, she exiled them back to the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, to experience it all over again...

So, subconsciously, they would believe that they had discovered nothing!

The only downside was, if a powerful being were to inspect the spirit sea of those War Gods, flaws could be easily detected!

Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment, then settled back into her seat and sighed, "Well, if you can do something like that, I suppose there's no need for me to worry!"

This child, Gu Yue, hid her capabilities too well...

Even the former me had failed to notice!

...

Soon, the War God Hall fulfilled their promise, proving that the accusation of the Spirit Pagoda colluding with ferocious beasts was utterly unfounded!

"Phew, I knew it, how could the Spirit Pagoda possibly collude with ferocious beasts, I wonder who is spreading these rumors!"

"Exactly, even the War God Hall has personally vouched for the Spirit Pagoda's innocence, meaning the Ten Thousand Beast Platform can keep operating, as long as no one foolishly ventures into the core zones!"

"That former Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Qingfeng, better not let me catch him!"

"You're dreaming! That man is a legendary Ultimate Douluo, now you talk big, but you'd better not fail to even beg for mercy when faced with him in reality!"

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the federation was as cold as the polar regions...

All the Council Members cast doubtful and angry glances at Qiangu Qingfeng...

But the latter did not show any emotion because of this...

Eventually, Chen Xinjie sent him a look and questioned, "Vice Chairman, do you have anything to say?"

Normally, he did not get involved with the federation's parliament, but this matter was inextricably linked to the War God Hall!

With his lead, the other Council Members also began to rebuke loudly...

"Qiangu Qingfeng, what do you have to say for yourself now!"

"Because of you, not only has the War God Hall been slandered, but it has also lost a tremendous amount of resources!!"

"I wondered why you came back to the federation, don't tell me it was a plot concocted with the Spirit Pagoda!"

"I propose to strip Qiangu Qingfeng of his Vice Chairman status, he could very well be an undercover agent sent by the Spirit Pagoda."

Qiangu Qingfeng remained unruffled and said, "I have no explanation, but, Lord Chen, have you ever considered that the Spirit Pagoda might have tampered with the memories of those War Gods?"

Chen Xinjie's pupils sharply constricted, then narrowed slightly, "They have all reached the Super Douluo Level, erasing memories is simply impossible!"

Qiangu Qingfeng looked him directly in the eyes and said word by word, "Nothing is impossible, on the entire Continent, no one has more authority than me regarding the brain domain!"

As he spoke, he radiated strong confidence!

Chen Xinjie fell silent, seemingly pondering the veracity of his words...

"Fine, I will personally inspect the Spirit Sea of those War Gods, and if there is no damage, you will be stripped of your position as Vice Chairman!!"
