War God Hall!
At this moment, Guan Yue was sitting in the position of the Hall Master, with a large stack of documents that needed to be dealt with in front of him...
He sighed and murmured, "There really is a lot to deal with, being a Vice Hall Master was a bit more relaxing than a Hall Master!"
A difference of just one word, yet it was a completely different experience!
Just then, a slow knocking sound came from outside the door...
Guan Yue stopped his actions, puzzled, he said, "Come in!"
After receiving permission, Chen Xinjie walked in with his hands clasped behind his back...
With a smile, he asked, "Guan Yue, how does it feel to be the Battle God Hall's hall master?"
Guan Yue, seeing the visitor was Chen Xinjie, first showed traces of surprise on his face, and then he said with a bitter smile, "Hall Master, I kind of regret taking up this position."
Chen Xinjie nodded in understanding, but still reminded him, "Don't call me that anymore, you are now the hall master of War God Hall! Don't make a joke of yourself in front of others!"
Guan Yue was taken aback, then came to a realization, "Yes... Vice Hall Master!"
Then, he followed up with a question, "Just, Vice... Vice Hall Master, do you have something you want to say?"
He still wasn't accustomed to such titles!
Chen Xinjie's expression turned more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Hmm, Spirit Pagoda's master Leng Yaozhu has stepped down, and her position as the Pagoda Master has been succeeded by that Gu Yuena, are you aware of this?"
Guan Yue, upon hearing this news, exclaimed in astonishment, "What?? When did this happen!"
Chen Xinjie explained, "Just this morning, it was officially announced by the Spirit Pagoda!"
Guan Yue took a deep breath, "I'm afraid the Spirit Pagoda has been prepared for the succession ceremony for a long time, it's just that my influence disrupted their plans!"
Chen Xinjie did not deny it, but instead somewhat agreed, "Right, however, what is your opinion on this Gu Yuena?"
Guan Yue fell silent for a few seconds...
Then he spoke, "Gu Yuena? That child is too calculating and gives me a mysterious feeling, I can even sense a trembling from her!"
"Furthermore, the plan at the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is very likely to have originated from her!"
Chen Xinjie maintained his composure and said, "Hmm, it's different from what I thought. What do you plan to do next?"
"If the Soul Masters of Soul Land keep using the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, it could lead to an irreversible situation!"
Guan Yue shook his head. "I'm not sure, because of the last incident, War God Hall was forced to make a false testimony for the Spirit Pagoda; we can't intervene openly!"
If War Gods were dispatched to infiltrate deep into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform for inspection, exposure would result in consequences far more serious than simply offering compensation and apologies!
Then, he turned to look at Chen Xinjie, "Hall... Vice Hall Master, do you have any ideas?"
For this matter, all he could do was wait and see, so his only hope had to be placed on the former!
Chen Xinjie sighed, "I have no ideas either, the Spirit Pagoda's power is plentiful, its might too formidable. Sneaking into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform without anybody noticing is practically impossible!"
"Unless, we join forces with institutions like Shrek Academy to launch a surprise inspection raid on the Spirit Pagoda!"
"However, the likelihood of that is quite small since Gu Yuena was once an inner court student of Shrek Academy!"
Guan Yue's eyes flickered, "But what if we obtained evidence of Gu Yuena collaborating with ferocious beasts to harm humanity?"
Chen Xinjie almost certainly said, "If we can get hold of that, Shrek Academy would certainly not mind cooperating with us!"
He was well aware that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, despite being greatly protective, would never condone someone endangering the Continent!
…
In the abyss!
The Abyssal Emperor was discussing something with other emperors…
Suddenly, they saw the sullen-faced Spirit Emperor and Emperor Lian burst in…
With just a simple perception, it was clear their auras were extremely disordered…
The Abyssal Emperor furrowed his brows, "Spirit Emperor, Emperor Lian, what happened to you? Your auras are so disordered!"
The Spirit Emperor took a deep breath and began, "Emperor, when we were gathering abyssal creatures, we discovered a human hidden in the abyss, of Titled Douluo level!"
The pupils of the Abyssal Emperor constricted, "So, it was he who injured you?"
He knew well the strength of the Spirit Emperor; a Titled Douluo couldn't possibly be his opponent!
Before the Spirit Emperor could answer, the Demon Emperor sneered, "Heh, a mere Titled Douluo level fellow was able to injure you; just how weak have you become!"
The Chemical Emperor spoke expressionlessly, "Demon Emperor, do you really think an ordinary Titled Douluo could harm the Spirit Emperor? Don't forget, his strength surpasses ours!"
The Wise Emperor then questioned, "Spirit Emperor, this matter mustn't be so simple, right? A mere Titled Douluo is just an ant that could be crushed effortlessly!"
Emperor Lian said indignantly, "Nonsense, that Titled Douluo naturally couldn't be our opponent, but…"
The Abyssal Emperor asked again, "But what?"
Emperor Lian clenched his fist, "But when we were about to kill that guy, another man appeared, whose strength… was inscrutable!"
"Not only did he suppress me in strength! But with just one look, he caused the Spirit Emperor's spiritual attack to backfire!"
The Spirit Emperor nodded in affirmation…
Upon hearing this, all the emperors started to restrain their expressions…
If someone could suppress both the Spirit Emperor and Emperor Lian in terms of strength and spiritual power, how could there be such a strong person among humans!
The Abyssal Emperor fell silent for a few minutes, seemingly pondering something…
During this time, none of the emperors dared to interrupt foolishly…
After a while, he continued, "Spirit Emperor, what do you think, is this man a human?"
Even if it were himself, before achieving godhood, facing both the Spirit Emperor and Emperor Lian would be a great pressure!
A mere human Soul Master, how could he possess such formidable power!
The Spirit Emperor said with almost certain tone, "He is definitely human, without a doubt; he has human Soul Rings!"
It's quite easy to analyze a human's aura and characteristics!
The Abyssal Emperor stated lightly, "I understand, Spirit Emperor, you stay behind for now, the other emperors may leave!"
Although a bit reluctant, the emperors naturally did not dare to disobey since he commanded it, and they chose to leave at once…
...
With this, only the Spirit Emperor remained in the entire space.
At this moment, the gaze of the Abyssal Emperor became much more intense, staring fixedly at him, he said word by word, "Spirit Emperor, you must have concealed something just now, didn't you?"
Without trying to hide anything, the Spirit Emperor nodded, "Yes, there is something I didn't mention; the human who was almost killed by Emperor Lian and me, he possessed a Divine Artifact!"
"Moreover, divine patterns emerged on his forehead! He might have received the recognition of a certain God!"
"Thus, I suspect that the Divine Realm and the Lower Realm might not be completely severed, and those Gods might have been watching over humans all along!!"
