Chapter 2228: Visiting to Apologize! (Please Subscribe)_1
Halosa's eyes flickered with a few hints of apprehension, "Sect Hierarch, do you mean to say, you've also planted chess pieces inside the Blood God Legion?"
Upon further thought, the other party's schemes were truly terrifying, having left measures in the Blood God Legion years ago!
As one of the twin emperors synonymous with the Holy Spirit Cult, he still fell short by quite a bit!
The Ghost Emperor had no intention of hiding the truth and said emotionlessly, "Indeed, after the once Blood One, who is also the Tang Sect's Sect Leader Cao Zhide, sacrificed his own life to reinforce a layer of seal over the abyss, I knew the plan had failed!"
"Thus, I dispatched a few evil Soul Masters adept at concealing their aura and Martial Soul to infiltrate their ranks in advance!"
Leng Yulai was startled and pursued the matter, "But… it is impossible to perfectly conceal the aura of an evil Soul Master in the presence of an Ultimate Douluo!"
The Ghost Emperor glanced at her, it was uncertain if he was being sarcastic or mocking...
"Hehe, if you are willing to follow me to the death, then there's no harm in disclosing it..."
He now completely distrusted Halosa and Leng Yulai, unless he had control over their lives!
But obviously, this was not an easy matter!
Not to mention Leng Yulai, who had a soul power rank of level 98, even Halosa shared an even match in terms of strength with him!
Once these words were spoken, both Halosa and Leng Yulai fell silent…
At the moment, it seemed that the Demon Emperor still held the dominant position within the Holy Spirit Cult, and it was not a wise choice to suddenly defect to the Ghost Emperor!
The Ghost Emperor had no interest in continuing the discussion with them and said with a meaningful tone, "Very well, all you need to do is keep your eyes wide open and watch! The abyssal creatures will soon break through the abyss, plunging the entire human world into despair!"
"Shrek Academy, Spirit Pagoda, or even War God Hall, these powers are all going to become history!!"
…
The following day!
War God Hall!
Vice Hall Master Guan Yue looked at the exhausted Chen Xinjie with concern, "Hall Master, you look very unwell, did you not sleep well last night?"
He of course understood that sleep did not affect the spirits of a Soul Master who had cultivated to the level of an Ultimate Douluo!
It was just a way of expressing concern!
But to his surprise, Chen Xinjie spat out, "Hmm… indeed, I didn't sleep well last night, no, more accurately, I didn't sleep at all!"
Last night, he had thought of many ways to resolve the conflict with the Spirit Pagoda, but the only feasible one was to pay them a visit!
After all, by taking such a great risk to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, War God Hall could confirm that something was definitely amiss with the Spirit Pagoda, but they lacked solid evidence to present, which left them at a disadvantage in any public discourse!
Guan Yue pursed his lips, "Is it about the Spirit Pagoda?"
Chen Xinjie forced a smile, "Yes, Guan Yue, have you thought of any solutions?"
The other party silently shook his head…
After receiving the answer, he didn't show any sign of surprise but stood up unhurriedly, "Well then, I'll personally go to the Spirit Pagoda to apologize. At the very least, we must save the lives of those War Gods!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue sternly refused, "No, Hall Master. You represent the entirety of War God Hall. Even if we have to apologize, I should be the one to go!"
He was just the Vice Hall Master, at worst he could resign to take responsibility!
This was much better than leaving War God Hall Members at a disadvantage in terms of morale when facing Spirit Pagoda Members in the future!
Chen Xinjie's gaze turned deep, "Guan Yue, I remember telling you many years ago that you are the only one qualified to take over as the Hall Master of War God Hall in the future!"
"Maybe it's time to fulfill that promise!!"
Apart from himself, Guan Yue had the highest seniority and strongest strength in the entire War God Hall!
His succession to the position of Hall Master would face no objections!
It seemed that something occurred to him, and Guan Yue hastily said, "Hall Master, how can this be, the War God Temple still needs you to take charge!"
He felt that he was not yet capable of commanding the entire War God Temple!
Even though he had learned quite a bit by following Chen Xinjie's side!
There was no change in Chen Xinjie's gaze as he said word by word, "Guan Yue, don't be modest. You now only lack experience, your abilities are second to none!"
"If you refuse, it would make me die with my eyes open."
Sensing the determination mixed within the former's words, Guan Yue finally stopped declining…
His expression turned solemn as he said, "Hall Master… I understand. I will take over from you and guard the War God Temple well!"
Only then did Chen Xinjie show a relieved expression. "Very well, then prepare for your succession ceremony with care. Once I am done dealing with the Spirit Pagoda's affairs, I will officially appoint you as the hall master of the War God Temple!"
Guan Yue slowly closed his eyes, the corners slightly reddened…
"Yes, Hall Master! I shall take my leave now!"
...
The Spirit Pagoda, within the conference hall…
Aside from Leng Yaozhu, Di Tian, and others seated in the positions of power, every seat designated for council members was eerily empty…
Clearly, the former had dismissed all the council members from their posts!
She looked around with a somewhat sentimental gaze...
She had been able to secure her seat as the Spirit Pagoda's master, thanks in no small part to these council members and Qiangu Qingfeng!
But now, they had all been driven away by her own hand…
While she couldn't say she felt guilty, there was an undeniable aspect of bitterness at the bottom of her heart…
Gu Yue, who was adept at interpreting expressions, naturally noticed these details and quietly suggested, "Pagoda Master, if you are dissatisfied with the dismissal of these council members, there's still a chance to rectify it…"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu raised her hand to stop her from continuing, "Gu Yue, I know what you want to say, but I do not regret the things that are already done!"
If she regretted them, then she would no longer be the renowned Sky Phoenix Douluo!
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Pagoda Master, my apologies for speaking out of turn!"
Leng Yaozhu didn't wish to discuss it further and changed the topic, "Let's not talk about that. Gu Yue, what do you think, would the proud and arrogant Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall come to visit us?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue responded with a confident tone, "They surely will! After all, those war gods are still in our hands at the Spirit Pagoda!"
The viciousness in her voice made one of the ferocious beasts couldn't help but say, "Why do I always feel like our lord now resembles the villain that humans speak of!"
Bi Ji was the first to scold, "Silence! Our lord is simply sacrificing her own personal desires for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan!"
By choosing to rejuvenate the Soul Beast Clan, Gu Yue represented her decision to sever all ties with the human world herself!
This was undoubtedly a very painful decision!
The other soul beasts also echoed, "That's right, our lord is so noble, how can she be described with human words!"
"Exactly, if you dare speak like that again, I guarantee the boss will tear your mouth apart!"
He had intended to offer some explanation, but faced with Di Tian's cold gaze, he immediately swallowed his words…
Just then, a Spirit Pagoda member responsible for delivering messages suddenly burst in, bowing he said, "Report to the Pagoda Master, the Young Tower Master, and all council members, the people from the War God Temple have arrived, and it seems the leader is the hall master of the War God Temple, Chen Xinjie!!"
