Chapter 2533: Changes in the Spirit Pagoda_1

One of the ferocious beasts, after listening, showed displeasure and said, "Our master is the leader of the Soul Beast Clan, how could he be a mere human..."

Di Tian glanced at this ferocious beast and coldly shouted, "Shut your mouth!"

Indeed, he had felt the love for their master multiple times from Leng Yaozhu...

Perhaps, even the master himself hadn't noticed that subconsciously he treated her like a mother!

Thinking of this, the beast replied, "Since you regard the master as your daughter, I hope you won't let her down!"

Leng Yaozhu did not show any emotion to this, and said calmly, "Of course, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave!"

After giving the ferocious beasts a glance, she turned and left...

Bi Ji kept her gaze fixed on the departing figure, "Di Tian, can she really be trusted? If the affairs of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform are exposed, it's likely that she would be attacked by all the forces of the entire Soul Land!"

Di Tian shook his head, unable to provide a definite reply...

"Even if we doubt her, there's no way around it, the master would never agree to us laying a hand on her!"

"Moreover, Leng Yaozhu is an Ultimate Douluo after all, and she still holds great significance for our future plans. We can't afford to lose her without cause!"

The Spirit Pagoda may be able to gather a large number of Soul Masters using the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, but their soul power ranks are mostly below Soul King; in a war, they would only be cannon fodder!

The real deciding factor would still be the high-end powers!

Bi Ji took a deep breath and agreed, "Yeah, you are right!"

The rest of the ferocious beasts also looked at each other, not minding that Leng Yaozhu treated Gu Yuena as a daughter...

...

The federation!

The council members learned of the news immediately and began an investigation...

But they came up empty-handed!

All they knew was that these Soul Masters had volunteered to join the Spirit Pagoda!

The leading chairman looked at the other members with an ugly expression and said, "Council members, you should already be aware of the situation. Just a few days ago, the Spirit Pagoda began to summon Soul Masters on a massive scale!"

Although these council members were psychologically prepared, they were still somewhat incredulous upon hearing it firsthand...

They began to express their opinions...

"How is that possible? To my knowledge, the Spirit Pagoda did not offer any favorable conditions, why then did so many Soul Masters choose to join?"

"Indeed, after the deputy chairman exposed the embarrassing incidents of the Spirit Pagoda, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Soul Masters throughout Soul Land, even the number of Soul Masters using the Spirit Ascension Platform and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform dropped sharply. How could such a drastic change happen all of a sudden!"

"Could it be that these Soul Masters had already decided to join the Spirit Pagoda in secret and just hadn't made it public!"

"Very possible, but it's more likely that they've been threatened or controlled by the Spirit Pagoda!!"

The chairman shook his head, "No, regarding that, I have secretly had some of the Soul Masters trying to join the Spirit Pagoda captured and examined with various instruments. No signs of control were found."

"They joined the Spirit Pagoda purely out of their own will."

As outrageous as it was, this was the fact revealed by the investigation!

This statement immediately plunged another council member into confusion...

"That's strange, if they weren't threatened or controlled, why would so many Soul Masters choose to join the Spirit Pagoda instead of choosing our federation?"

After a pause, they asked urgently, "By the way, chairman, has there been an increase in the number of Soul Masters joining our federation recently?"

```

"If Soul Masters from the federation have joined in abundance, perhaps this is just a coincidence!"

The Chairman's expression became even graver, "That's not it, and it's even lower than before, not even a few dozen a month!"

"Not only the federation, but forces including Tang Sect as well, have had very few Soul Masters join in a short span of time"

Such a reputable power on Soul Land, unable to find even a few hundred Soul Masters in a month, one doesn't need to think hard to know there's definitely a problem...

"I think, Spirit Pagoda is inseparable from this issue, they must have used some means, it's just very well concealed!"

"Indeed, we might as well directly question the Spirit Pagoda's master, maybe we can get some useful information!"

"Hmph, if it really were the doing of Spirit Pagoda, how could they possibly admit to it, they would rather keep us in the dark!"

The Chairman, listening to these discussions, couldn't help but close his eyes...

Merely discussing this here will definitely not solve the problem!

Upon opening his eyes again, he said coldly, "Immediately dispatch some federation members to infiltrate Spirit Pagoda, to see exactly what they're plotting!"

After making this statement, he felt an inexplicable weariness at the bottom of his heart...

The Abyssal Creature Army had only been cleared out not long ago...

First came the attack from Douling Empire and now these tricks from Spirit Pagoda, if it keeps going like this, I, as the Chairman, am afraid I won't be able to hold out!

...

In Tang Sect, Zang Xin addressed the four people in front of him, "Four Hall Masters, you should know why you've been summoned here, right?"

Originally, Tang Sect had only three Hall Masters, but realizing that such a large power was hard to manage by themselves, they selected two of the most powerful members from within Tang Sect to act as deputy Hall Masters!

All four Hall Masters nodded, clearly they had been briefed before coming...

Only then did Zang Xin continue, "The number of Soul Masters in Spirit Pagoda has surged, which seems to have happened the day after Gu Yuena left our Tang Sect!"

"I suspect that Spirit Pagoda, out of spite, has initiated a plan ahead of time!"

The worry we've all harbored has finally arrived!

Guo Xiaoxu spoke in a grave voice, "Sect Leader, do you mean that Spirit Pagoda has been cooperating with ferocious beasts, keeping a plan concealed until now?"

Zang Xin nodded, "Exactly!"

Liang Xiaoyu furrowed his brow, "That being said, we can't let Spirit Pagoda continue to absorb Soul Masters, otherwise, when their number exceeds that of the federation, they will become difficult to manage!"

"I agree with Hall Master Liang's opinion, but stopping Spirit Pagoda from recruiting Soul Masters at this time is not so simple!"

"Hmm, after all, the federation hasn't taken action, mostly because they lack evidence!"

Zang Xin glanced at them, "For this reason, my decision is to send Tang Wulin to Spirit Pagoda, banking on his relationship with Gu Yuena, he might be able to get some intelligence!"

Although it seems underhanded, it's the only way to draw out Spirit Pagoda's plan!

As soon as he said this, Liang Xiaoyu and Guo Xiaoxu were greatly shocked...

They hurriedly protested, "Sect Leader, this is too risky, when Gu Yuena turns ruthless, she may not favor Wulin, she may even kill him!"

"Exactly, Gu Yuena is most likely a soul beast, possibly for other ferocious beasts, she might discard her own feelings and eliminate Tang Wulin!"

To be the master of Spirit Pagoda, one must certainly not be indecisive!
