Chapter 1987: Assassination (Please Subscribe)_1

In the Blood God Camp's great hall!

Gazing at the screen, where Tang Wulin and Gu Yue appeared as close as lacquer, Blood Seven, with envy written all over his face, said, "They're really affectionate, aren't they? Wulin is taking his girlfriend around the Blood God Army while we have to stay in this hall!"

Deep down, there was still a sense of imbalance.

Next to him, Blood Five blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Blood Seven, if you're bored, you could also go and be affectionate with your girlfriend."

After a pause, she covered her little mouth and teased, "Oh—almost forgot, you were dumped a long time ago!"

Blood Six also expressed his disdain, saying, "Indeed, it's somewhat embarrassing. The great Blood Seven of the Blood God Camp was actually dumped!"

Blood Eight crossed her arms and mocked, "He had it coming. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't fancy such a man either!"

The guy always liked to berate others, so it was quite normal for him to be unpopular with women!

Blood Seven's face turned ashen, "Old Eight, that's a bit uncalled for. Besides, it's not like you have any men chasing after you!"

Others could mock him, but not Blood Eight, because her cold demeanor had resulted in not a single man pursuing her!

In fact, her situation was even more pitiable than his own!

Without any tenderness, Blood Five interrupted, "No, no, no, Blood Seven, you're wrong about that. There are actually quite a few reserve members of the Blood God Camp who are pursuing Blood Eight, she just hasn't accepted them, that's all!"

Instantly at a loss for words, Blood Seven clenched his fists silently, "I can't be bothered with you guys..."

Seeing this, Blood Three tried to soothe him, "Blood Five, stop teasing Blood Seven. He's actually a good person, just a bit too talkative!"

Then, he sighed deeply, "Speaking of which, it is a real pity that Gu Yue is unwilling to join our Blood God Camp, eh!"

Resting her chin in her hand, Blood Four hesitated, "Blood Three, why don't we just kidnap Gu Yue to the Blood God Camp, and then let Wulin 'train' her. I'm sure..."

Listening in silence the whole time, Blood Two covered his mouth with a cough, "Cough, cough, Blood Four, that kind of thinking is very dangerous. The Blood God Camp is not a hotbed of corruption!"

"Moreover, since Gu Yue is unwilling to join the Blood God Camp, she must have a better plan for her future!"

The Blood God Camp didn't actually have much say on the Continent, being merely one branch within the Blood God Army!

It wasn't unusual for some Soul Masters to come to the Blood God Army for training but not want to join the Blood God Camp!

However, Blood One, who had his eyes closed for a rest, suddenly opened them, his expression serious. He warned, "Let's stop discussing these irrelevant matters. Everyone be extra careful. Just now, I sensed a powerful soul power fluctuation disappearing from the abyss!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult trying to establish contact with the abyssal creatures!"

The rest of the Blood Gods also put away their playful expressions, solemnly responding, "Yes, Blood One!"

Only Blood Seven pursed his lips and mumbled softly, "If those evil Soul Masters dare to come, we'll dare to wipe them out! The Blood God Camp isn't vegetarian!"

For the Blood God Army to have guarded the abyss for so many years, its strength was naturally beyond any doubt!

...

At the Spirit Pagoda!

In the great hall!

At this moment, the atmosphere had become extremely oppressive...

Leng Yaozhu's eyes sparked with a dense cold light as she demanded, "Repeat what you just said!"

The Spirit Pagoda member kneeling below swallowed hard before speaking again, "It's… Pagoda Master, last night, the messengers and soldiers imprisoned in the jail cells were all assassinated!"

Leng Yaozhu slammed her hand down on the seat, making a "screech screech" sound…

"Douling Empire, such a vicious heart indeed!"

Although she wasn't planning on letting these people go, she never expected that before the Spirit Pagoda could take action, they would be assassinated first!

And moreover, without alerting anyone!

This further proves that there are Spies for the Douling Empire within the Spirit Pagoda! And they are not of low status!

The other Council Members exchanged glances, also showing cautious aversion, "The emperor of the Douling Empire really is ruthless and decisive, even willing to send assassins to kill his own people!"

"I don't think it's that simple. Besides silencing people, the Douling Empire is doing this to point the finger at our Spirit Pagoda with their deaths."

"Despicable and shameless. If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have agreed to let the Messenger from the Spirit Pagoda visit!"

"In my opinion, all these are trivial matters. The key point is that the Soul Masters from the Douling Empire could assassinate these people without alerting anyone, which means that Spies have been planted within the Spirit Pagoda!"

"Hiss… If that's really the case, then this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Once, the Spirit Pagoda nearly fell under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult because it had been infiltrated by many evil Soul Masters! Such an incident cannot happen again!"

Leng Yaozhu's gaze turned to the Spirit Pagoda Member, "Last night, who went to the prison?"

The Spirit Pagoda Member hesitated for a moment before answering, "Last night, besides Vice Tower Master… Qiangu Qingfeng and you, no one else entered the prison!"

Leng Yaozhu's brows furrowed slightly. As the Pagoda Master, she definitely couldn't have been involved, and Qiangu Qingfeng should have no reason to help the Douling Empire. Moreover, he personally interrogated that Messenger!

However, the other Council Members didn't see it that way!

One of the Council Members cautiously suggested, "Pagoda Master, could it be that Qiangu Qingfeng is the one who did this? After all, you removed him from the Vice Tower Master's position not long ago!"

Another Council Member exclaimed in shock, "Now that I think about it, it really could be Qiangu Qingfeng harboring resentment, hence secretly contacting the Douling Empire to seize an opportunity to usurp the position of Pagoda Master!"

"You never really know someone. We might have all been deceived by him!"

Facing everyone's suspicion, Leng Yaozhu affirmed, "Qiangu Qingfeng could not possibly be a traitor!"

However, these Council Members still didn't change their minds…

"Pagoda Master, don't be fooled by him. All those diligent appearances may just be an act!"

"I wondered why the former Pagoda Master was so willing to assist you, Pagoda Master. It turns out there was such an ulterior motive, utterly insidious!"

"Pagoda Master, I propose that we immediately arrest Qiangu Qingfeng and interrogate him thoroughly!"

Leng Yaozhu declared coldly, "I'll say it again, Qiangu Qingfeng could not possibly be a traitor."

"If I must provide a reason, it is because the position of Vice Tower Master was one he requested to resign from, not a command from me!!"

A vast sense of pressure mixed with her icy words made all the Council Members widen their eyes, some in disbelief…

They really didn't know about this and had always thought that Leng Yaozhu had forced Qiangu Qingfeng to step down from the position of Vice Tower Master!

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath to calm herself, and said indifferently, "Go, arrest all the Spirit Pagoda Members who have been responsible for guarding the prison these past few days. Hand them all over to Qiangu Qingfeng for interrogation! We must find the traitor among them!"

She was determined to make whoever betrayed the Spirit Pagoda regret their actions!
