Just then, the members of the Spirit Pagoda responsible for the interrogation immediately straightened up, looking at the approaching woman with eyes full of respect, and said in unison, "Young Tower Master."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Mmm, how are those War Gods from War God Hall doing?"
The leading man confidently said, "Young Tower Master, rest assured, after we've used all kinds of interrogation methods on them, they've become a lot more honest!"
Upon hearing that, Gu Yue's cheeks seemed to frost over as she sternly exclaimed, "Idiots!!"
The man, suddenly chastised, looked baffled and asked, "Young Tower Master, wasn't it your order for us to treat them well??"
Gu Yue suppressed her anger, "I told you to treat them well, not to torture them!!"
Doing so had clearly wrecked her plan!
The members of the Spirit Pagoda swallowed hard, the same thought flashing through their minds: We're done for!
They had misunderstood the "treat them well" directive!
Gu Yue took a deep breath and commanded, "Where are those War Gods from War God Hall imprisoned? Take me there immediately!!"
The leader quickly responded, "Yes, Young Tower Master; please follow me!"
Soon, he led Gu Yue to the prison holding the War Gods and swiftly unlocked the cell door...
Seeing Gu Yue suddenly enter the cell, the injured War Gods all turned their gaze upon her...
Noticing the scene, Gu Yue said with regret, "Honorable War Gods, I am the Young Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda. Due to my oversight, you have suffered!"
Hearing her identity, the attitudes of the War Gods changed immediately...
One of the War Gods sneered, "Heh, stop your charade, isn't this exactly what your Spirit Pagoda intended?"
Another War God said indignantly, "The Spirit Pagoda had better pray we don't get the chance to return to War God Hall because we won't let this matter rest!"
"Your Spirit Pagoda dares to collaborate with ferocious beasts; you're utterly mad!!"
Gu Yue furrowed her brows, "Honorable War Gods, please, hear me out..."
The strongest among them said indifferently, "No need for explanations, Young Tower Master. Please leave, we will report the truth to our Hall Master!"
After these words were spoken, Gu Yue's expression also turned colder...
"Since you War Gods are uncooperative, I'm left with no choice!"
The War God didn't show any fear but retorted sarcastically, "So you resort to silence dissent by murder when you can't control the situation? Worthy of the next Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda indeed!"
Who would have known, Gu Yue shook her head, "No, I'm not going to kill you. Instead, I need you to forget something!"
Right, she intended to erase these War Gods' memories!
Even if it would cause irreparable damage to their sea of consciousness!
Then, she glanced sideways at the waiting Spirit Pagoda members and ordered, "Take these War Gods to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform! If they try to struggle, do not hesitate to use force!"
The members respectfully replied, "Yes, Young Tower Master!"
After finishing all this, Gu Yue turned around and walked away without a moment's hesitation, not wasting any further time on the War Gods.

Xingluo Empire!
In Dai Yun'er's palace!
Dai Yueyan looked around with nostalgia, musing, "I wonder how Yun'er is doing at Shrek Academy!"
Suddenly, behind him, an aged figure appeared—it was none other than the Ultimate Douluo tasked with his personal protection!
The elder spoke in a weathered tone, "Your Majesty the Emperor, are you missing Her Royal Highness the Princess again?"
```
Regarding his sudden appearance, Dai Yueyan remained very calm and nodded, "Yes, Father is no longer with us, and Yun'er is my only family!"
The former hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "In that case, how about I accompany His Majesty the Emperor on a secret visit to Shrek Academy?"
Dai Yueyan was tempted but still refused...
"No! The Xingluo Empire cannot do without me for a single moment, and besides, if something were to happen on the way..."
He wasn't afraid of dying!
But he feared that after his death, the entire order of the Xingluo Empire would collapse, and it would be kicked while down by the Holy Spirit Cult!
Dai Yueyan pursed his thin lips, skipping over this topic, "I heard that not long ago, Tang Sect developed the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System?"
The elder said solemnly, "Yes! According to Tang Sect, this defense system can withstand the bombardment of the Godkilling Fixed soul Cannonballs. As for its effectiveness, no one knows!"
After receiving affirmation, Dai Yueyan said inwardly, "I see, then Yun'er should be absolutely safe staying at Shrek Academy..."
He then said to the elder, "Please gather the Imperial Ministers. It's time to make some reforms to the Xingluo Empire."
The elder did not respond, and his figure instantly merged into the darkness...
...
Sandstorm Region!
Although the Gale Dual-Headed Demon Wolf King's cultivation had reached a terrifying three hundred thousand years, under the joint hands of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, it still showed signs of decline...
At first glance, its body had multiple wounds, and its breath had become extremely disordered...
Turbid World Elder stared intently, "It has endured so many of our attacks and still hasn't fallen. Truly tenacious!"
Yuanen Zhentian nodded, "Yes, it's just a pity that it bore killing intent towards us; otherwise, it could have retreated with its whole body intact!"
Feng Wu Yu, already somewhat carried away by the battle, said harshly, "Elders, stop the nonsense and finish it off with all your strength!"
Just as they were about to give the Gale Dual-Headed Demon Wolf King the final blow, it chose to retreat...
Then, it tilted its head and let out a long howl to the sky...
Upon hearing their leader's call, the rest of the Gale Dual-headed Demon Wolves stopped their attacks and rushed to its side...
Unexpectedly, however, they did not launch an attack but instead protected the Wolf King as it withdrew...
Feng Wu Yu immediately discerned their intention and shouted coldly, "Thinking of running? How is that possible!"
But he was stopped by Turbid World Elder, who grabbed his arm and shook his head, "Crazy Old Man, since they're retreating on their own, let's give them a way out."
Yuanen Zhentian also agreed, "Yes, I concur with Turbid World Elder's words, the entire Continent is now scarce of soul beasts!"
Perhaps because his ancestors were Titan Apes, he felt a measure of sympathy for soul beasts in his heart.
Feng Wu Yu shrugged off Turbid World Elder's hand, somewhat annoyed, "Humph! You really are a saint, aren't you? If we weren't strong enough, we would have already become their food!"
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and the others, sensing something was amiss, also rushed over...
Yuanen Zhentian asked with concern, "Kids, are you alright?"
Tang Wulin shook his head, puzzled, "We're fine, but what was with those Gale Dual-Headed Demon Wolves just now?"
Yuanen Zhentian explained, "They heard their Wolf King's call and covered its retreat!"
Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but ask further, "Why not kill them? The Elders could have done it, right?"
Turbid World Elder glanced at him and answered, "We could have, but there was no need. What's most important now is to continue our journey!"
