It seemed that he detected he was being surveilled, the Abyssal Emperor's icy eyes glanced around. Then he emitted his spiritual power, spreading it throughout the entire abyss...
However, he perceived nothing!
This made him involuntarily furrow his brows, "Was it just my imagination just now?"
Immediately after, he looked towards the Spirit Emperor standing in front of him, "Spirit Emperor, did you detect any fluctuations just now?"
Among the abyssal creatures, besides himself, the Spirit Emperor possessed the strongest spiritual power!
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Emperor shook his head and said, "My spiritual power is always covering the abyss, and I have not noticed anything unusual!"
The highly sensitive Fierce Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Emperor, did you perhaps sense something?"
The Abyssal Emperor glanced at him and said indifferently, "Just now, I sensed someone was secretly watching us, but I cannot detect his exact presence!"
As soon as these words were said, the Demon Emperor spoke coldly, "Emperor, you are probably overthinking it. The abyss is sealed now, and even we can't break through, let alone someone barging in!"
Emperor Lian also nodded slightly, "Indeed, the Spirit Emperor's spiritual power is not weaker than yours, and even he did not detect anything. It is most likely an illusion!"
The Wise Emperor also echoed, "Exactly, those human Soul Masters are all timid as mice, how could they possibly break in here! Even if they really came, by the time the seal is opened again, they will probably have turned into a pile of dry bones!"
Clearly, all the Abyssal Emperors did not believe that any Soul Master could escape his and the Spirit Emperor's detection and sneak into the abyss!
As for their opinions, the Abyssal Emperor did not care!
The corners of his mouth lifted into a cold smile, "Perhaps, but I predict it won't be long before the gates of the abyss are opened again, and that will be the time for us to sweep over the Human Plane!"
As long as the abyssal plane devours the Human Plane!
He would take that opportunity to ascend to Godhood, then he would be powerful enough to overturn the Divine Realm!
His only concern at the moment was whether today's actions had attracted "his" attention!
...
War God Hall!
Chen Xinjie and Guan Yue were continuously injecting Soul Power into the minds of several War Gods, and they were being extremely cautious in controlling its inflow into their Spirit Seas...
But even so, the Spirit Seas of the warriors at the Super Douluo Level would automatically defend themselves once they sensed an intrusion!
This resulted in cold sweat running down the foreheads of every War God, seemingly under the impact of a powerful assault!
Chen Xinjie naturally noticed this and immediately shouted sternly, "All War Gods, stabilize your Spirit Seas as much as possible, if the resistance is too fierce, the Soul Power I'm injecting will become chaotic!"
If they lost control, this Soul Power would roam freely within the Spirit Seas, and the impact would be devastating!
Hearing this, the War Gods forced themselves to relax, suppressing their Spirit Seas' natural defense mechanisms as best they could...
Finally, after struggling for a period, the Soul Power smoothly flowed into the depths of the Spirit Seas...
...
After a while, the two retracted their Soul Power, their expressions a bit unsightly...
The War Gods then turned their gazes, asking, "Hall Master, Vice Hall Master, how is the situation??"
Chen Xinjie spoke with a cold voice, "Just as I expected, all of your Spirit Seas have suffered damage, which is clearly the aftermath of the Spirit Pagoda's tampering with your memories!"
Guan Yue added, "Not only that, if these injuries were any more serious, you all would have become idiots!!"
The faces of the War Gods changed abruptly, showing emotions of anger...
They cursed in unison, "Damn Spirit Pagoda, to think they really meddled with our memories!"
"So it seems, the memories we recalled, are all concocted by that Young Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"No, this matter absolutely cannot be left at that! The ability of the Spirit Pagoda to tamper with memories is far too horrifying!"
Even the memories of a Super Douluo can be tampered with, so ordinary Soul Masters have no way to resist!
Chen Xinjie fell into silence, as if pondering something...
At this moment, Guan Yue took a deep breath and boldly proposed his suspicion, "Hall Master, the successive price reductions of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to attract Soul Masters to use it—could their purpose be to control them?"
"In doing so, the Spirit Pagoda could become the most powerful force, and ruling the world might not be impossible!"
No sooner had he spoken these words than the leading War God swallowed hard, "No... is it possible that the Spirit Pagoda has such grand ambitions?"
Guan Yue sneered, "Appearances deceive; remember, the Spirit Pagoda didn't hesitate to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult in the beginning to expand its power!"
The gaze of Chen Xinjie grew more severe, "If their aim is truly as such, we cannot sit idly by, we must strangle this possibility in the cradle!"
After a pause, he then turned his gaze towards Guan Yue, "However, before that, we should still get the most important thing done."
Guan Yue stared blankly, "Hall Master..."
Chen Xinjie patted his shoulder, "I've grown old, it's time to step down from this position. The future of War God Hall, I entrust to you."
...
Several days later!
War God Hall came up with a considerable amount of resources and provided compensation to the Spirit Pagoda...
At the same time, they officially elected Guan Yue as the new hall master of War God Hall, with the former retiring to the position of vice hall master!
This proposal, naturally, received the agreement of the entire members of War God Hall...
Upon receiving this news, Leng Yaozhu suddenly laughed...
"So, that's how it is. No wonder Chen Xinjie personally came to apologize to the Spirit Pagoda! It seems it was to smooth the way for Guan Yue to succeed as the hall master of War God Hall more easily!"
This thought coincided with her own!
Seeing that the Spirit Pagoda member beside her seemed to be in good spirits, he tried to ask, "Pagoda Master, since War God Hall has taken a step ahead of us, should we cancel the succession ceremony of the young tower master..."
He glanced at Gu Yue beside him as he spoke...
Leng Yaozhu stopped him before he could finish, "No, the succession ceremony will proceed as usual!"
After finally clearing so many obstacles for Gu Yue, how could they delay it over such a trifle!
Moreover, having been trapped in the "Spirit Pagoda" for so long, she also wanted to experience the feeling of freedom!
The Spirit Pagoda member nodded slightly, "Yes, Pagoda Master."
And Gu Yue, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Pagoda Master, there's really no need to rush the succession ceremony."
Leng Yaozhu glanced at her, "I'm doing this not only for you. I can't stand to sit in the position of the Spirit Pagoda's master for a single moment longer!!"
This position, which many Soul Masters dream of, was nothing more than a hot potato in her eyes!
Gu Yue showed a surprised expression, then covered her mouth and laughed, "Pagoda Master, I think you just don't want to deal with those trivial matters, right?"
Leng Yaozhu was not annoyed but gazed at her with clear eyes...
"It's good that you know. Besides, this will also make it convenient for you to carry out your own plans, won't it?"
