The Ten Thousand Beast Platform held significant secrets, and if they rashly agreed, it might impact Gu Yue's plans—they absolutely could not allow the War God Temple's people to conduct a search!
Guan Yue showed no sign of irritation, instead speaking with patience, "I know this may seem inappropriate, but surely the Spirit Pagoda doesn't want to be constantly criticized, right?"
Yet Leng Yaozhu still refused to budge, "This is a matter for the Spirit Pagoda to address, there is no need for the Vice Hall Master to trouble yourself over it!"
However, this scene set the Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples murmuring amongst themselves...
"Why do I get the feeling that Lord of the Cold Tower is determined to prevent the War God Hall's search? Could it be that there really are a Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython in the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"
"What are you thinking! If we let the War God Hall conduct a search now, where would that leave the Spirit Pagoda's dignity?"
"Exactly, as top forces of the Continent, why should the War God Hall have the authority to search the Spirit Pagoda? I bet they are just jealous of our Ten Thousand Beast Platform's business and want to stir up trouble!"
"Regardless, as members of the Spirit Pagoda, we should trust our Pagoda Master!"
Upon hearing this, a War God glanced at Guan Yue, asking, "Vice Hall Master, what should we do? Should we force a search?"
The latter shook their head, their expression turning inadvertently solemn...
A forced search would leave a bad impression of the War God Temple on the soul masters present!
Moreover, under his perception, there were at least three Limit Douluo level powerhouses from the Spirit Pagoda!
If a battle were to ensue, just the few War Gods and the legion he led would stand no chance!
Thus, they could not resort to forceful measures!
With this thought, he took a deep breath, locking his gaze on Leng Yaozhu and said, "Lord of the Cold Tower, how about we do this,"
"Allow us to search within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. If it's proven that these claims are nothing but rumors, the War God Hall will personally apologize and offer a certain compensation, how about that?"
In turn, if they did find the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython, then the Spirit Pagoda could not object!
Leng Yaozhu laughed as if she had just heard a joke, "Why should I agree? This is just a simple apology and compensation, which means nothing to the Spirit Pagoda!"
However, no sooner had she said this than she regretted it...
Because the soul masters standing around as spectators were looking at the Spirit Pagoda members with changed expressions...
Their looks suggested that the Ten Thousand Beast Platform definitely held something hidden!
Beasts like Di Tian and other ferocious creatures noticed that something was amiss, their eyes narrowing quietly, ready to fight at any moment...
In that moment, both sides fell into a tense atmosphere, as if a battle could break out at any second...
But just then, Gu Yue, dressed in an elegantly luxurious gown, gracefully walked out from within the Spirit Pagoda and stood beside Leng Yaozhu...
Her light voice broke the silence...
"Tower Master, I think we should consider the Vice Hall Master's suggestion. This way, we can also clear the Spirit Pagoda's name, couldn't we?"
Leng Yaozhu was initially taken aback, but when she clearly saw the indescribable confidence in the other's eyes...
She immediately replied with an icy tone, "Since Gu Yue, you have said so, let's do as the Vice Hall Master has said, and allow the War God Hall to conduct the search!"
"However, if it's proven that this matter is unrelated to the Spirit Pagoda, the War God Hall must provide a reasonable explanation!"
"Of course!"
Unaware of why the Lord of the Cold Tower had suddenly changed her mind but having achieved his objective, Guan Yue waved his right hand as a signal, and dozens of War God Temple Legion members stepped out, quickly flooding into the Spirit Pagoda...
After all was done, he stood with his hands behind his back, "Now, let's wait for the results!"
...
And so, after searching for a full half hour, the members of the War God Hall emerged from the Spirit Pagoda...
Seeing them, Guan Yue asked eagerly, "What's the situation?"
The lead member shook his head, "Vice Hall Master, we haven't found the Azure Oxpython or the Titan Ape inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, we haven't even sensed the breath of any soul beasts!"
Hearing this, Guan Yue's eyes deepened, "Then did you find any traces of those War Gods?"
They looked at each other and still shook their heads in denial, "We have already searched the whole core region, there's nothing inside!"
Guan Yue immediately clenched his fists, his expression somewhat fluctuating...
There's no mistake, the Spirit Pagoda must have used some method to hide the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython!
Moreover, the mysterious disappearance of the several War Gods we had sent to infiltrate is definitely related to them!
He now realized why the Young Tower Master named Gu Yue was so confident!
Leng Yaozhu glanced at him and said indifferently, "It seems the Vice Hall Master knows the outcome, isn't it time to make a gesture?"
Guan Yue suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "This matter, our War God Hall has been reckless, I will personally come to apologize! Legion members, heed my command, withdraw!"
Just as he planned to lead the War God Temple Legion away...
Gu Yue's voice, normally light and agile, at this moment, sounded like that of a devil...
"Vice Hall Master Guan, please hold a moment..."
Guan Yue immediately halted, a foreboding feeling rising from the depths of his heart...
His gaze fixed on Gu Yue's face, "Young Tower Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Yue's lips curled into a smile, "Vice Hall Master Guan, it's like this, just a short while ago, our Spirit Pagoda captured several Soul Masters who infiltrated the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
As soon as these words were out, Guan Yue's pupils shrank sharply...
As expected!
The few War Gods who were dispatched had been controlled by the Spirit Pagoda!
But now, he couldn't show the slightest bit of abnormality!!
He replied emotionlessly, "Young Tower Master, this matter has nothing to do with the War God Hall, right?"
Gu Yue heaved a sigh, "Is that so? I originally thought they were from the War God Hall and wanted to look the other way."
"Since that's the case, then we'll just follow the rules of the Spirit Pagoda and deal with them all!"
"Pagoda Master, what do you think?"
After saying this, he looked towards Leng Yaozhu!
Although she felt it was somewhat excessive, since things had come to this point, she couldn't contradict him!
She nodded slightly, "Hmm, let's do it this way, otherwise everyone will think they can come and go in our Spirit Pagoda as they please!"
"Councilor Di Tian, would you have a problem handling this?"
The golden pupils of Di Tian flickered, "Of course not!"
In front of the outside world, it was necessary to maintain her dignity as the Pagoda Master!
Guan Yue's tense face visibly trembled, but he still stubbornly led the War God Temple's team away...
It was then Leng Yaozhu reminded, "Gu Yue, pushing the War God Hall to a dead end is not necessarily a good thing for us!"
Gu Yue glanced at her, "I understand, I said it in front of them merely to remind the War God Hall to behave!"
