Chapter 2898: The Task of War God Hall_1

The Chairman then showed a contemplative expression, "So, the news has been locked down from the federation as well?"

Although the War God Hall was part of the federation, it was not in the same system and truly obeyed only the hall master of the War God Hall and the War Gods!

Therefore, locking down this news wasn't a difficult task at all!

Guan Yue spoke again, "In summary, Chairman, we hope that you and the other council members will not mind!"

The Chairman came back to his senses and immediately waved his hand, "No harm done, this is indeed the correct choice. If the news of Lord Chen's fall were to spread, it would indeed cause quite an uproar!"

Guan Yue's eyes narrowed as she changed the topic, "It's good that the Chairman understands. May I ask what brings you to the War God Hall this time?"

The Chairman explained patiently, "This is the case, I heard that Hall Master Guan is preparing to get the War God Hall back in operation, so I came specially to discuss it!"

"After all, you know that the current situation of the federation isn't very good!"

Guan Yue quickly caught on and echoed, "Yes, indeed. Currently on the Soul Land Continent, there is not only the Ghost Emperor who has become a God, but also the Spirit Pagoda, soaring to the skies, harboring great malice towards the federation!"

"Both pose great dangers and must be handled with caution!"

The Chairman let out a sigh of relief, speaking with utmost seriousness, "It seems that Hall Master Guan has not been oblivious to the outside world during this time, so let me speak frankly. The federation is in dire need of assistance from the War God Hall!"

If the former wasn't completely oblivious, his own explanations would be much easier!

Guan Yue instinctively asked back, "This is the War God Hall's duty, but what is the goal?"

A cold gleam appeared in the former's eyes, "To build a defense line in union with the Tang Sect people and drive out the remaining Spirit Pagoda Members within the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System!"

Guan Yue frowned, "But to merely drive out the Spirit Pagoda Members, the War God Hall's participation wouldn't be necessary, right?"

The Chairman immediately refuted, "No, the Spirit Pagoda has Di Tian and several other villains. Ordinary federation members will hardly be able to drive them out with ease!"

It was known that the federation's high-end combat forces were mostly within the War God Hall!

Guan Yue nodded to indicate her understanding, then turned her gaze towards the surrounding War Gods...

"War Gods, you must have heard the conversation just now. Do you have any thoughts?"

The War Gods, who had been silent up to that point, pondered for a moment before gradually giving their suggestions...

"The War God Hall has only just resumed operation and should maintain the status quo. However, given that the survival of the federation is at stake, we shouldn't care too much about that!"

"That's right, the fact that the Chairman himself has come to seek help from the War God Hall must mean that the Spirit Pagoda has been giving the federation a hard time lately. As War Gods, we have no reason to refuse!"

"Hmph, the federation has always been at a disadvantage because we, the War God Temple, have not been involved, lacking high-end combat forces. If all the War Gods present take action, what counts for the Spirit Pagoda!"

"You're right, the foundation of our federation is something the Spirit Pagoda cannot match. Moreover, the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda is just a girl in her twenties!"

This confident talk eased the inner pressure on the Chairman significantly...

"Then, on behalf of the entire federation, I thank all the War Gods for your assistance!!"

Having said that, he stood up and was about to bow to everyone...

But before he could do so, Guan Yue stopped him first...

With a very solemn tone, she said, "There's no need for such formalities, Chairman. You have done so much for the federation; it's about time for us in the War God Hall to do our part!"

...

The War God Hall Members who learned of Chen Xinjie's demise were all abuzz...

"No... could it be?? Did Lord Chen... really fall? When did this happen?"

"I... I only heard about it today. Lord Chen was a powerhouse who reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo; who could have killed him??"

"Shut up," he commanded, "Lord Chen is powerful. How could anyone kill him? It must have been a sneak attack!"

"No wonder," someone exclaimed, "I once heard the War Gods call Vice Hall Master Guan as the Hall Master. I never expected it to be like this!"

"Damn it! I better not find out who it is. Otherwise, I'll make them pay dearly!"

"Get real," another interjected, "even if it was a sneaky bastard who killed Lord Chen, he's not someone we can confront!"

Seeing their indignant faces, a War God standing at the back couldn't help but purse his lips...

Then, he yelled, "Quiet down, everyone. Although the hall master once said this matter no longer needs to be kept secret,"

"the later it's exposed to other forces, the more time we can buy for the War God Hall!"

His words immediately captured the attention of these War God Temple disciples...

They seemed to realize something and couldn't help but exclaim...

"Wait, we may not know, but the War Gods surely know the cause of Lord Chen's death!"

"Exactly, please, War God, tell us the cause of Lord Chen's death. Otherwise, we'll be restless!"

"Right, even if we don't have the strength to avenge Lord Chen, at the very least, we need to know how he died!"

This War God felt a headache coming on, not sure whether he should tell them...

As he was troubled, a voice sounded in his sea of consciousness...

After listening, his eyes suddenly focused, and his expression turned solemn...

"All War God Temple disciples, heed my command. Immediately gather your army supplies, and assemble at the War God Hall gate in ten minutes!"

To be honest, he hadn't expected that the War God Hall, having just resumed operations, would already have to take action...

On the other hand, the War God Temple disciples were even more puzzled, even doubting if they were hallucinating!

"No... no way, right? Didn't our War God Hall just resume operations? Why are we preparing our army supplies? Could it be we are about to wage war against some force?"

"It can't be that serious, right? Maybe it's just that we've been lax recently and they want us to get back in shape??"

"No... it's definitely not that. Didn't you see how grim that War God looked? Something big is definitely about to happen!"

"Then... then what should we do now?"

"Are you stupid? What else is there to do but hurry and get your army supplies ready? If you're late, the consequences could be severe!"

At that moment, the War God Temple members finally snapped into action, dispersing with incredible speed...

The War God shook his head, highly dissatisfied with their actions...

"It seems that this long period has had quite an impact on these members!"

If it were in the past, the War God Temple members would have sprung into action the moment the command was given...

Instead of dawdling like they were now, even considering whether or not to follow the order!

It was as if they were a newly formed legion, yet to be tested in battle...
