Chapter 1961: Speculation (Please Subscribe)_1

Jiang Wuyue curled his lip, "I say Yuxue, why are you worrying about this kid? Since the Blood God Camp has taken the initiative to invite him to join, they certainly won't give him a hard time!"

Then he sulkily said, "As for me, you don't even care a bit!"

Long Yuxue cast a glance at him, "What's there to worry about? Do you think being the deputy leader is a bad position?"

Jiang Wuyue muttered under his breath, "That's not it. I just feel that your attitude towards me is way too cold. Doesn't exactly scream 'sweethearts,' does it?"

Tang Wulin was surprised, "Yuxue, don't tell me you've already accepted Big Brother Jiang?"

He had only been away for so long, and Long Yuxue had agreed to be with the former? His heart still found it somewhat unbelievable!

Long Yuxue sighed, "How could I? He's talking nonsense!"

She knew perfectly well that Jiang Wuyue's feelings for her were very sincere, but not liking him just meant not liking him!

The two of them were suitable to be friends, but they would never become lovers!

Seeing the atmosphere turning awkward, Tang Wulin coughed behind his hand, "Well then, Big Brother Jiang, Yuxue, you guys chat first. I'll go and take a look at the forging room!"

However, Jiang Wuyue quickly grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back, then pushed him down onto a chair, "Where are you going, kid? Just a rejection from Yuxue, I'm used to it already, but I won't give up, that's for sure!"

Tang Wulin inwardly remarked, "My dear Big Brother Jiang, just how thick is your skin..."

If it were him being rejected so many times, he would feel embarrassed just standing in front of the person, let alone shamelessly continuing the pursuit!

But then again, there's nothing wrong with pursuing the person you like!

Long Yuxue didn't continue the previous topic and curiously propped her chin, "Wulin, since the Blood God Camp doesn't restrict your movements, why don't you take this opportunity to tell us about its situation?"

Jiang Wuyue eagerly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I'm also interested in the Blood God Camp!"

Tang Wulin showed a trace of helplessness, "Alright, then I'll just briefly tell you about the Blood God Camp."

...

Spirit Pagoda!

A member of the Spirit Pagoda bowed down and respectfully reported, "Reporting to the Pagoda Master and the Vice Tower Master, the transport team that went to that military group has now returned and is currently reorganizing."

Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes turned cold as she scolded, "Returning only now? They clearly aren't taking me, their Pagoda Master, seriously!"

Qiangu Qingfeng didn't express his opinion, but his mood also seemed far from pleasant.

According to the original plan, once the Spirit Souls were delivered, the transport team should have returned to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters within three days at most!

However, unexpectedly, this time they had been delayed for so long!

The member of the Spirit Pagoda showed a panicked look and hastily explained, "Pagoda Master, please calm your anger. It's said that during the trip, the transport team suffered an attack from an unidentified force!"

Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes narrowed in thought, "An attack by an unknown force? Could it be the work of those people from the War God Hall?"

Qiangu Qingfeng beside her shook his head, "No, that shouldn't be the case. I understand the Hall Master of the War God Hall, and he wouldn't do such a thing!"

The people of the War God Hall, although not as innocent as they appear to be, wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move against the Spirit Pagoda at such a critical time!

Besides, there hadn't been any substantial conflict between the two sides!

Hearing what he said, Leng Yaozhu frowned, "That's strange then. If it's not the War God Hall, then which force could it be?"

She gave another order, "You, go call the captain of the Spirit Soul transport squad over here!"

This Spirit Pagoda member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Re... Report to the Pagoda Master, the captain leading the transport troop has died in the attack!"

Leng Yaozhu simply gave him a glance, expressionless...

Realizing what was expected, he quickly got up and said, "Yes, Pagoda Master, I'll go call the surviving Spirit Pagoda members right away!"

After witnessing his departure, Leng Yaozhu then turned to look at Qiangu Qingfeng and asked in a cold voice, "Vice Tower Master, in your opinion, which power is behind this attack on our Spirit Pagoda?"

Qiangu Qingfeng pursed his lips, "First of all, exclude Shrek Academy; second, the suspicion towards War God Hall is also extremely small, and the other medium and small forces definitely don't have the guts..."

"I suspect, could this incident be the doing of the Holy Spirit Cult or Soul Masters from other empires?"

This statement naturally received Leng Yaozhu's affirmation...

"Currently, the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters is located in the Xingluo Empire, and they are in a deadlock with them, so they should not make a move..."

Before she could finish, Qiangu Qingfeng seemed to think of something and exclaimed, "Wait, Pagoda Master, several years ago, we seemed to have cut off the Spirit Soul supply chain to Douling Land, could this be their retaliation!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu immediately conducted a search, and indeed, she discovered this record!

She then had a sudden realization, "So that's how it is, if that's the case, then everything makes sense!"

However, what was unexpected was that Douling Land actually held on so firmly; even without the supply of Spirit Souls, they had managed to hold out for such a long time!

Qiangu Qingfeng continued to analyze, "If it is indeed the case, then it's not difficult to determine that their goal was to plunder these Spirit Souls. However, they were too late and got nothing!"

Leng Yaozhu clenched her fists, "We absolutely cannot let this matter rest!!"

...

In a distant location!

One of the Soul Masters said with an ugly face, "Damn it, this operation has failed. Not only did we fail to intercept that batch of Spirit Souls, but we even let a few of those Spirit Pagoda members escape!"

Another Soul Master expressed his concern, "If we return this time, won't we be punished? Your Majesty seemed to value that batch of Spirit Souls highly!"

"That's the least of our worries. If the Spirit Pagoda turns their spearhead towards our empire, everything is over! Remember, when the Spirit Pagoda cut off the Spirit Soul supply, it already caused the Soul Power of our empire's Soul Masters to stagnate!"

"If only we had sent more people in the beginning, we might have not captured the Spirit Souls, but we could have silenced them!"

"Don't worry, even if the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda guess our identities, they have no evidence to prove it! But well, with His Majesty's ruthless nature, going back means a dead end for us! Afterward, we can just find any power to join!"

Among them, most had their soul power rank at the Soul Sage level!

However, as they were discussing, a chilling voice suddenly sounded, "Is that so? It seems that you are planning on betraying His Highness?"

At the same time, a middle-aged man emanating a terrifying aura slowly emerged from the shadows...

The moment they saw him, the complexions of these Soul Masters all betrayed panic and despair...

After swallowing hard and forcing a smile, they said, "As expected, His Majesty surely wouldn't let us off so easily!"

The middle-aged man spoke in a cold tone, "Indeed, regardless of whether your operation succeeded or not, you will die here. However, what I did not expect was that you let the Spirit Pagoda people get away!"

"Just for that alone, you cannot escape death a thousand times over!"
