Chapter 2043: Sea God's Pavilion Resolution (Please Subscribe)_1
Spirit Pagoda!
Elsewhere, a shadow emerged from the ground, bowing respectfully towards the figure ahead, "Pagoda Master, all the materials you mentioned have been delivered into the hands of the Young Tower Master."
After a pause, the shadow spoke again, "Additionally, the support troops we dispatched have already joined forces with that legion, and they are currently advancing towards the headquarters. They should arrive in about half an hour!"
Having heard this response, Leng Yaozhu's expression remained unchanged as she spoke to herself, "You say... that child Gu Yue wants to do what with the plans for cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult during Qiangugu Dongfeng's tenure?"
The shadow immediately bowed its head, "Your subordinate dares not speculate rashly, but since it's the Young Pavilion Master, it must be a matter of great importance..."
Leng Yaozhu chuckled softly, lazily arching her body, drawing out a perfect curve...
"Indeed, I cannot fathom the thoughts of that child. Perhaps, after ascending to power, she intends to thoroughly purge any remaining evil Soul Masters from the various branch pagodas!"
The shadow hesitated, "Pagoda Master, should I continue to protect Gu Yue?"
Leng Yaozhu shook her head, "No need. With her spiritual power, she likely knew of your presence the moment you approached her!"
The shadow stepped back twice and bowed, "Understood... Pagoda Master, then I shall take my leave!"
Only then did Leng Yaozhu take a deep breath, "Once the entire legion is incorporated into the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Pagoda will possess at least four Limit Douluo Level powerhouses, surpassing the federation in terms of high-end combat power and even matching Shrek Academy!"
"Becoming the number one power on the Continent is just a matter of time!"
…
Sea God's Pavilion!
The various Elders seated around all focused their gaze on a letter on the table...
Cai Yue'er narrowed her beautiful eyes, "This is... a missive from the Douling Empire, quite rare indeed."
Feng Wu Yu scoffed coldly, "Over the years, the Douling Empire has had no contact with our Shrek Academy. Their sudden correspondence today is sure to be no good news!"
Long Yeyue pursed her thin lips and spoke, "I've glanced at the contents of the letter. Due to Emperor Xue Yuntian, the Douling Empire has run into conflict with the Spirit Pagoda, resulting in a cessation of Spirit Soul supply to the former for several years now!"
"Currently, the Soul Masters of the entire Douling Empire, due to the scarcity of Spirit Souls, have grown extremely dissatisfied with the empire, with some even contemplating waging war!"
"Therefore, the Douling Empire hopes we can mediate this issue, ease the conflict between the two parties, and resume the supply of Spirit Souls to the Douling Empire!"
Upon hearing this, the Turbid World Elder spoke with sarcasm, "Hah, that sounds nice. In my view, it's Emperor Xue Yuntian realizing the importance of Spirit Souls to the empire, unable to swallow his pride, so he wants our Shrek Academy to play peacekeeper."
"However... to threaten Shrek Academy in the name of waging war is to take us too lightly!"
In an instant, a wild aura burst forth from him...
Seeing this, Elder Ya'li quickly intervened, "Turbid World Elder, stay calm. Perhaps the Emperor of the Douling Empire simply wishes to restore the supply of Spirit Souls, which is why he has approached Shrek Academy."
Yuan En Zhentian spoke with a grave voice, "Hmm, that possibility might exist but is unlikely. It's more probable that using the pretense of war to pressure Shrek Academy to alleviate the Duoling Empire's troubles is Emperor Xue Yuntian's real intent!"
Lan Muzi clasped his hands tightly, speaking solemnly, "The current situation on the Continent is already precarious. If war does break out, I fear the Holy Spirit Cult will interfere!"
Tang Yinmeng agreed, "Indeed, and there's also the threat of abyssal creatures. After all, no one knows whether the Holy Spirit Cult is still planning to break the seal!"
Long Yeyue turned her gaze to Xu Sheng, asking seriously, "Elder Xu, what do you think? Should our Shrek Academy agree to the Douling Empire's request?"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Elder Long, in my opinion, as Shrek Academy is a neutral power and has always prioritized the peace of the Continent, indeed there is no reason to refuse the Douling Empire's request!"
"However, on the other hand, it might be better to have a new emperor for the Douling Empire!"
As these words were spoken, shock appeared on the faces of the other Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion…
Turbid World gasped, "Hiss… Elder Xu, are you not joking? To replace the emperor of the Douling Empire, wouldn't that be tantamount to an impeachment?"
Feng Wu Yu frowned and said, "The prestige of the Sea God's Pavilion on the Continent is indeed high, but we can't impeach a sovereign!"
Yuanen Zhentian also hesitated, "Elder Xu, although I'm not certain, the replacement of the emperor you speak of, could it be…" He trailed off, making a throat-slitting gesture.
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. As long as someone else takes over as emperor of the Douling Empire, the Spirit Pagoda would definitely be willing to supply Spirit Souls again, and would also eliminate the dissatisfaction among the Soul Masters towards the emperor!"
Long Yeyue immediately denied, "No, that's too despicable and doesn't fit with the style of Shrek Academy!"
She had thought of this as well, but the spirit inherited by Shrek Academy didn't allow for such an act!
Otherwise, how would we be any different from the Holy Spirit Cult?
Elder Cai, however, gave a starkly different answer, "Elder Long, I think Elder Xu's suggestion is good!"
"Shrek Academy remains neutral precisely because it doesn't want to favor any side. Since the Emperor of the Douling Empire has already threatened war, removing him is also for the sake of maintaining peace on the Continent!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue fell silent...
Yun Ming, if you were still alive, what kind of choice would you make?
It was then that Ya Li's beautiful eyes lit up, suggesting, "Elders, how about this? Let's first try to ease the conflict between the Spirit Pagoda and the Douling Empire. If it's successful, it will naturally be good for both sides."
"If it fails, then we'll have to follow Elder Xu's suggestion and assassinate Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Douling Empire! This will prevent the outbreak of war!"
Turbid World immediately stated, "I agree with Elder Ya'li's proposal!"
Feng Wu Yu also said seriously, "I agree too, Elder Xu's proposal can only be considered as a last resort if we can't stop the war from happening!"
Yuanen Zhentian: "I have no objections!"
Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng exchanged glances and both nodded in agreement…
Cai Yue'er also expressed her agreement, then turned her gaze toward Long Yeyue with a complex expression, "Elder Long, what is your decision?"
Long Yeyue closed her eyes silently and spoke faintly, "If that's the case, let's do as Ya'li suggested!"
If possible, she hoped the Spirit Pagoda could give Shrek Academy some face and restore the supply of Spirit Souls to the Douling Empire!
After all, no one could be certain that after assassinating the emperor of the Douling Empire, those ministers would obediently stop the outbreak of war!
