Hearing this, Qiangu Qingfeng glanced at him and said coldly, "Although everyone knows this in their hearts, you must never say it directly, otherwise, other forces will seize the opportunity!"
As for the Spirit Pagoda, there are quite a few forces coveting it secretly, and if it wasn't strong enough, it would have been occupied long ago!
The council member immediately lowered his head, "Yes, Vice Tower Master!"
Although Leng Yaozhu is the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, it is clear that the pressure from her is not as intense as from the former Pagoda Master, now Vice Tower Master!
Immediately, Leng Yaozhu, sitting in the chief seat, spoke, "Besides what the Vice Tower Master said, do any of you have other opinions?"
All the council members shook their heads, evidently agreeing with Qiangu Qingfeng's words...
Seeing this, she could only sigh; Qiangu Qingfeng's abilities are too strong, which leads to every meeting being almost just a duet between herself and him!
Although no one opposes, gathering all the council members here is entirely meaningless!
Helplessly, she still announced as usual, "Then the matters of this time will be handled by the Vice Tower Master, and all Spirit Transmission Tower Branches must comply unconditionally!"
The council members responded again, "Yes, Pagoda Master!"
Qiangu Qingfeng nodded, then continued, "Alright, now let's proceed to the next matter..."
At this moment, surprise appeared in Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes, and she subconsciously said, "Ah? There's another matter?"
She was just about to announce the end of this meeting...
Perhaps hearing the complaint from the former, Qiangu Qingfeng stroked his beard and chuckled, "Naturally, although the reputation of our Spirit Pagoda is quickly recovering, some aspects still need strengthening!"
Leng Yaozhu awkwardly scratched her hair, "Then... please continue, Vice Tower Master."
...
Finally, after several hours, this meeting came to an end...
Seeing the council members depart one by one, Leng Yaozhu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and sighed, "It's finally over; I didn't expect there to be so many things to pay attention to in the Spirit Pagoda nowadays!"
Especially the matter of replacing a large number of Spirit Pagoda staff, which made her headache...
Beside her, Qiangu Qingfeng reassured her, "Pagoda Master, this is something that must be experienced. The Spirit Pagoda is a huge force, and we can ensure no spies from other forces at headquarters."
"But the branches are different, and we can't see everything clearly; besides, certain council members are ruthless when pursuing their own interests!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded in agreement, "What the Vice Tower Master said is true. As for these matters..."
Before she could finish, Qiangu Qingfeng gave a sly smile, "Pagoda Master, are you planning to push all the matters onto me?"
Leng Yaozhu was momentarily speechless, covering her mouth as she coughed, "Cough, cough... It's not that I trust the Vice Tower Master?"
She was increasingly regretting taking on the position of Pagoda Master!
It's simply exhausting!
Qiangu Qingfeng showed a complex expression, "Although I would like to manage the Spirit Pagoda continuously, my body can only hold on for a few more years!!"
As a brain specialist, he actually has many methods to prolong his survival...
But there's one condition; he must use living people for experiments!
This is something he can't accept under any circumstances, so he chose to dedicate all his time to assist Leng Yaozhu in becoming a qualified Pagoda Master!
This could also be considered as atonement for his past!
...
The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath and refuted, "No need, we've already established a foothold in Xingluo Land, focusing on expansion. Attacking the Tang Sect brings no benefits."
No matter what, what Tang Sect has created by combining hidden weapons and soul tools is very lethal to ordinary Soul Masters!
Seeing the former, who never misses any opportunity, say such words, others all showed puzzled expressions...
Finally, it was the Dark Blood Devil who spoke, "Sect Hierarch, are we really going to let go of such a good opportunity?"
Halosa also advised again, "Yes, Sect Hierarch, destroying a Tang Sect Branch would cause no losses!"
Of course, by losses, he meant high-level combat forces; ordinary evil Soul Masters dying do not cause any heartache at all!
Leng Yulai nodded approval and said, "I also agree; destroying a Tang Sect Branch is only a trivial matter for our Holy Spirit Cult!"
Unexpectedly, the Ghost Emperor's tone grew colder, and he shouted angrily, "Enough, my decision is final; everyone except the Vice Sect Hierarch, leave!"
In an instant, the overwhelming killing intent inside him erupted, enveloping the entire space...
Knowing there's no room for negotiation in this matter, Leng Yulai and others sighed and turned to leave...
When only two were left, Halosa squinted his eyes and asked, "Sect Hierarch, is there something else you wish to discuss with me?"
Being left alone, it seems there are other things to say!
The Ghost Emperor calmly said, "Halosa, you actually knew about the Demon Emperor's situation, didn't you?"
Halosa's pupils contracted sharply, "Sect Hierarch, I don't understand what you're saying."
The Ghost Emperor coldly sneered, "You don't need to hide from me; I've indeed controlled the Demon Emperor! And... it took many years of effort!"
Halosa fell silent...
After a while, he looked at the former with burning eyes, "Sect Hierarch, why did you do this?"
The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath, "Before the Demon Emperor, the Holy Spirit Cult was entirely under my control. But since she arrived, everything has changed!"
He controlled the Demon Emperor merely to prove one thing!
He is the real leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!!
...
The next day!
After class, Tang Wulin quickly hurried to the Blacksmith Association...
Upon seeing the former's sudden visit, Zhen Hua was quite surprised and said, "Wulin, you haven't been here for a long time, have you?"
Since he last came to inquire about Gu Yue's whereabouts, he hadn't been to the Blacksmith Association!
Tang Wulin nodded, "Yes, it's been about two months!"
Zhen Hua leisurely took a sip from his teacup, "So this time, is there something you don't understand about forging?"
Tang Wulin shook his head, his eyes full of seriousness, "No, President, I came this time to ask Mu Ye for a favor!"
Zhen Hua was quite surprised, "Oh? I didn't expect you to take the initiative to find Mu Ye."
After pausing, he added with a sigh, "But unfortunately, Mu Ye just left not long ago, most likely to handle matters with the Body Sect!"
Tang Wulin openly showed his disappointment as he stood up, "Well then, I'll head back first!"
Zhen Hua, seeing this, scolded good-naturedly, "You brat, why are you in such a hurry to leave! Sit down!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin suddenly realized, and sheepishly sat back down...
Right, just arriving and wanting to leave indeed seemed impolite!
Only then did Zhen Hua stroke his beard with satisfaction, "Little Wulin, have you heard any news about Gu Yue recently?"
Tang Wulin paused for a moment and then replied, "Gu Yue? She just returned to the academy not long ago."
Zhen Hua heard this and muttered quietly, "Is that so, since she returned, why hasn't she visited her teacher!"
