Chapter 2897: Coming into the World_1

War God Hall!!

All the War Gods were seated at their respective places, and Guan Yue, who was the new Hall Master, stood at the very center...

With a grave expression, he began, "Ladies and gentlemen, some time has passed since the Hall Master's demise, and the War God Hall has been in a state of secrecy. Surely, this must have caused dissatisfaction among the members of the War God Hall!"

"Today, in the name of the Hall Master, I have decided to reorganize the War God Hall. What are your thoughts, fellow War Gods?"

Upon hearing these words, the War Gods exchanged glances and expressed their agreement...

"Since you, Hall Master, have made your decision, I naturally have no objections, but the matter of Lord Chen's fall is likely impossible to conceal," one of them said.

"Indeed, the fall of Lord Chen has not been leaked until now, but if we restart the operations of the War God Hall, it will be absolutely impossible to keep it concealed!" another agreed.

"I believe the Hall Master must have already considered this point!" a third chimed in.

Hearing their words, Guan Yue pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I also know that restarting the operations of the War God Hall will definitely not conceal Lord Chen's death."

"But it is precisely because I have thought it through that I have convened this assembly today!"

He had anticipated objections from the War Gods, but it seemed not to be as he feared!

Perhaps, they too wished to see the War God Hall as splendid as it once was!

With this thought, he continued, "If all the War Gods have no objections, then from today onwards, the War God Hall will resume its operations!"

"As for the specifics, each War God will manage their own legions!"

The War God Hall was organized by legions to begin with, each War God managing only their own forces, which was much more convenient!

"Yes, Hall Master!" the War Gods responded, revealing no dissatisfaction...

For when Chen Xinjie was in charge, he too employed this method of management...

Guan Yue took a deep breath and declared, "Let us put this matter to rest!"

"Now, let's discuss in detail the current situation on Soul Land!!"

Although the War God Hall was nearly hidden from the world, it had not forgotten to gather intelligence on Soul Land!

Even the discord between the Spirit Pagoda and the federation was clear as day!

As this subject arose, a solemnity spread amongst the War Gods...

If what was discussed earlier were trifles, what they were now embroiled in was a matter of life and death for the War God Hall!

Sure enough, one of the War Gods interjected, "Hall Master, during this time, the Spirit Pagoda has developed into Soul Land's strongest force, their overall power even surpassing the federation."

"We cannot stand idly by!"

Another War God concurred, "Indeed, if the War God Hall does not intervene, the federation is severely lacking in high-end combat forces. It's highly unlikely to defeat the Spirit Pagoda!"

"Could the situation really be that bad? Didn't the Chairman send a message saying the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles are about to be completed?" someone questioned.

"Naive, how could Gu Yuena possibly watch the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles bombarding the Spirit Pagoda without taking any countermeasures!" retorted one.

"No, she's already taking action. Haven't a significant number of Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples already started to approach the Tang Sect? Surely, they aim to force the Tang Sect to activate the Soul-guided Defensive Array System for protection!" another elucidated.

"Hmph, forget it. We must unite with the Tang Sect to drive out those Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples from the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System!" declared another fiercely.

Guan Yue pondered for a moment before responding, "All you War Gods speak sensibly. Just as you say, the federation is already making covert contact with the Tang Sect."

"Under the pretext of establishing a defense line, joining forces to expel the Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples should quickly be effective!!!"

"Of course, it's also not out of the question that the people of the Spirit Pagoda might become infuriated and be willing to start a war!!"

The War Gods burst with martial spirit upon hearing this...

"Hmph, should the Spirit Pagoda really dare to wage war, then let there be war. They truly believe that a few powerful moves can contend with us!!"

"In terms of high-end combat power, we in the War God Hall have an absolute advantage. As long as we take care of Gu Yuena and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda, I believe we can keep casualties from escalating!"

"Even if a war starts, we must end it as swiftly as possible, lest it affects the entire Soul Land!"

"No, Soul Land will not be affected, because the situations in both the Dou Spirit Empire and the Xingluo Empire are also not optimistic. As long as those emperors have their wits about them, they certainly won't kick us while we're down at such a time!"

"That's not certain, Xue Yuntian, that guy, is brutal by nature. Knowing that the Dou Spirit Empire can't continue on, he might drag Soul Land down with him!!"

Guan Yue cast a glance at them, reminding, "I advise the War Gods not to take this lightly. The Spirit Pagoda couldn't have recruited so many Soul Masters in such short time by ordinary means!"

Even at the federation's peak moment, it hadn't attracted as many Soul Masters!

For sure, the Spirit Pagoda must have employed some method to control people's minds!!

Soon, the War Gods understood what he meant...

"Hall Master, you mean to say, these Soul Masters didn't join the Spirit Pagoda of their own free will? But were subjected to some kind of irresistible control?"

"Hiss... that thought alone makes it very likely the Spirit Pagoda resorted to unusual methods!!"

"The Spirit Pagoda is indeed despicable, forcing Soul Masters to join. If we had known earlier, we would have exposed them!"

"That's difficult, Qiangu Qingfeng was among the first to notice something amiss with the Spirit Pagoda, but at the time no one was willing to believe it, until the number of Soul Masters skyrocketed, it was too late to stop them!!"

"Wait, could it be because of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform? I remember the Spirit Pagoda used to actively promote this thing, even offering it for free to the Soul Masters of Soul Land!!"

It was then that a member of the War God Hall suddenly burst in, reporting with utmost respect, "Report... Reporting, Hall Master, and distinguished War Gods, the Chairman has arrived!"

Guan Yue's face brightened, and she quickly said, "Oh? The Chairman is here? Please let him in immediately!!"

Shortly after, the Chairman entered the hall...

Smiling, he said, "Hall Master Guan, and War Gods, it's been a long time!!"

The War Gods nodded in greeting...

Guan Yue warmly invited, "Chairman, there's no need for such formality, please take a seat!"

The Chairman didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took a prominent seat...

"Hall Master Guan, I hear that the War God Hall is preparing to resume operations?"

Guan Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, after being dormant for so long, it's time for the War God Hall to re-emerge in the public eye!"

The affirmation made the Chairman nod with satisfaction, "That's very good. But where is Lord Chen? Why isn't he here?"

Guan Yue hadn't expected his first question to be so tricky and gave a rueful smile before answering honestly, "Well... to be frank with the Chairman, Lord Chen fell a long time ago!"

The Chairman's eyes widened in shock, "What?? Fell? Why hadn't we received any news of this!"

Guan Yue sighed, "It's because I ordered the news to be sealed, and also, it's the reason the War God Hall has been missing from the scene!"

"Chairman, you should be the first one outside the War Gods to know!"
