Just like that, another month hurriedly passed by...
In the Spirit Pagoda, within the Council Hall!
At this moment, all the Council Members had gathered here, yet their faces all bore rather unsightly expressions...
They cast doubtful and wary glances at Gu Yue, who stood at the very center...
In contrast, it seemed she had already guessed what was about to happen, and with a calm expression, she spoke, "I wonder why you Council Members are looking at me with such eyes?"
No sooner had she spoken than the calm was shattered...
The Council Members, one after another, accused her with angry tones, "Young Tower Master, do you realize that because of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the entire Soul Land is discussing the secretive secrets of our Spirit Pagoda!"
"That's right, and there are even rumors that the Vice Tower Master left the Spirit Pagoda because of you! Losing an Ultimate Douluo is such a colossal loss for us!"
"As the creator of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, you have the right to give us a clear explanation!!"
"If you can't eliminate the negative impact this matter has brought upon the Spirit Pagoda, we will not agree to you succeeding the position of Pagoda Master!"
Faced with these threatening words, Gu Yue indifferently said, "Why do you Council Members insist it's because of me? You should know, the Vice Tower Master was also one of the creators of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
"Besides, after he left, slanderous remarks about the Spirit Pagoda suddenly appeared. Haven't you suspected that this was a conspiracy set up by the federation from the start?"
Such a reasoned and evidenced response directly sealed the Council Members' lips...
Leng Yaozhu looked on calmly at everything, seemingly with no intention of joining in...
After a long pause, another Council Member braced himself to say, "Young Tower Master, what about the continuous rumors that there are ferocious beasts like the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"
"Although this matter has been well concealed, based on my investigation, indeed, some Soul Masters went missing after entering the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes flickered, "I've said it before, the core area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was designated as a restricted zone precisely because it's extremely unstable. Those Soul Masters entered on their own volition, so naturally accidents occurred!"
"As for the Azure Oxpython and Titan Ape you mentioned, those two ferocious beasts fell countless millennia ago!!"
The former widened his eyes and, pointing at her, furiously reproached, "If it was an accident, then where are their bodies? I think you're just making excuses!"
Gu Yue sneered, "Naturally, they remained in the restricted zone. If this Council Member is interested, then go there in person. Just be careful, lest you have an accident on the way!"
At that moment, Di Tian spoke with an icy tone, "Enough, the Young Tower Master's explanation is quite logical. I believe everything has to do with Qiangu Qingfeng!"
His entire being erupted with a burst of presence, instantly oppressing the Council Members in attendance so much they could barely breathe, not even able to utter a single word...
With him setting a precedent, Bi Ji and the rest of the ferocious beasts also chimed in...
"I also think the Young Tower Master has done nothing wrong. If Qiangu Qingfeng hadn't done something shameful, why would he leave the Spirit Pagoda?"
"Exactly, although we are new to the Council, we know how many resources the Spirit Pagoda has invested in Qiangu Qingfeng. He's nothing but an ingrate!"
"I believe the Young Tower Master wouldn't do anything detrimental to the Spirit Pagoda. Her contributions are there for all to see! No exaggeration to say, even without the Council Members present here, the Spirit Pagoda could still operate normally!"
Even Leng Yaozhu simply glanced casually at these Council Members, "Do any of you Council Members have anything else to retort?"
Seeing this, the Council Members finally realized that she had been on Gu Yue's side all along, and one by one, they hung their heads like frostbitten eggplants...
With the support of the Pagoda Master and Di Tian among others, this debate targeting Gu Yue was predestined to be a farce!
...
After it ended, the other Council Members left with rather unsettled expressions...
Only Leng Yaozhu and Di Tian among the ferocious beasts remained in the conference room!
```
Leng Yaozhu stared at Gu Yue, asking, "Gu Yue, what are you planning to do next? It seems Qiangu Qingfeng has already revealed these secrets to the federation!"
However, to her surprise, it seemed that Qiangu Qingfeng did not mention that Gu Yue's true identity was a soul beast!
Otherwise, given the nature of the federation, they would have come to question her immediately!
Gu Yue's expression grew colder, "Eliminate these Council Members, not a single one left!"
With those words, an intense killing intent was fully exposed on her being!!
She hadn't wanted to target these Council Members, but thinking back on their actions today, they had greatly hindered her plans!
Leng Yaozhu's pupils shrank, as if it was the first time she had seen this side of Gu Yue.....
All along, the Gu Yue she saw had been obedient and sensible, she had not expected her to have such a ruthless side!
Di Tian immediately stood up, his golden pupils exuding a measure of authority, "Sect Hierarch, leave this matter to us, these Council Members will not live to see tomorrow's sun!"
This was the Sect Hierarch she had envisioned, brutal, merciless, not soft-hearted towards humans!
Bi Ji and the other ferocious beasts also stood up, not speaking, but their eyes said it all!
Gu Yue glanced at them, "Mm, after dealing with them, we'll blame the Holy Spirit Cult in public!"
After all, since the Holy Spirit Cult had launched attacks one after another, it was no big deal to take the blame for this!
Sensing something, Gu Yue's emotionless eyes directly met Leng Yaozhu's, "Pagoda Master, it seems you have something to say!"
The latter hesitated to speak, but ultimately sighed, "Gu Yue, I won't stop you, but if possible, try not to involve too many people!"
At this moment, she found herself questioning whether handing over the Spirit Pagoda to Gu Yue had been the right choice?
En route to the abyss!
The team of evil Soul Masters led by the Ghost Emperor encountered an unexpected visitor!
They were three guest elder-level evil Soul Masters!
Approaching the forefront, they spoke in an exceedingly respectful tone, "Sect Hierarch, the Demon Emperor has sent us to support you!"
Facing the inadvertent terrifying pressure emanating from the former, they could only bow their heads, thus concealing the fear in the depths of their hearts...
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor, expressionless, glanced at them before looking back at the few hundred people behind him, seemingly deep in thought...
Internally, he sneered, "That guy actually sent evil Soul Masters to support me! The irony."
But their arrival was timely; the evil Soul Master team he led had been greatly reduced after the battle with the three major forces!
Then, he calmly "Mm!" in response.....
The three guest elders looked at each other and immediately directed the two teams of evil Soul Masters to merge into one, then quietly stood behind the Ghost Emperor...
At first glance, the combined team had at least a thousand people!!
Although it was far fewer than the current number of the Blood God Army, undeniably, as evil Soul Masters, they were much more dangerous!
