Chapter 1461: The Successor Pagoda Master (Please Subscribe)_1
The other evil Soul Masters, after deliberating for a while, nodded in agreement, "Mm, that's the only way to do it!"
Immediately, the evil Soul Master who had made the suggestion summoned a few others, and they quickly made their way towards the legion established by Di Tian and the others!
Meanwhile, another group of evil Soul Masters were striding towards the upper echelons of the Holy Spirit Cult…
Upon reaching the top-floor attic, they were greeted by the sight of Hades, seated and meditating with his eyes closed...
Feeling their presence, he slowly opened his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and said coldly, "Don't you know that this place is not to be entered at will?"
Only the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult and those more powerful were allowed to enter here!
Swallowing nervously, one of the evil Soul Masters spoke cautiously, "Vice... Vice Sect Hierarch, we did not enter deliberately, it's just that we have important matters to report to you!"
Hades raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Oh? Speak!"
The Soul Master hesitated and then quickly explained, "This afternoon, the ones you sent to surveil that legion have all failed to return, we suspect there's been a problem!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Hades rose from his seat and exclaimed, "What?"
The evil Soul Masters he had dispatched were personally selected by him, and even a Titled Douluo would find it hard to detect their presence!
And now, none had returned to report; could they have been discovered and dealt with?
If that were the case, it might be worth it for him to see for himself!
Having regained his composure, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know about this now, you may go!"
The few evil Soul Masters secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied in unison, "Yes, Vice Sect Hierarch!"
Watching them leave, Hades muttered to himself, "What do you think should be done about this?"
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows nearby, and it was none other than the recently healed Dark Blood Devil!
However, despite complete physical recovery, his soul power rank remained at level 97!
His expression cold, he said, "To have dealt with the people the Vice Sect Hierarch sent, it at least proves that this legion indeed has Hyper Douluo or even Ultimate Douluo level powerhouses!"
After all, their ability to conceal themselves was so great that even he had difficulty sensing them!
Pausing, he then suggested, "I think it's best to take Nanali and Leng Yulai with us!"
Hades glanced at him and replied, "Correct, I was thinking the same! Of course, if we're lucky, perhaps your strength might return to its peak!"
If the legion's Hyper Douluo and Ultimate Douluo aren't very strong and are controlled or slain by them, their bodies could serve as nourishment for the Dark Blood Devil to break through again!
What evil Soul Masters fear least is their soul power rank falling!
The Dark Blood Devil lowered his head slightly, a few shades of crimson flitting across his eyes, "Thank you, Vice Sect Hierarch!"
......
Elsewhere, due to a change of events at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda!
Each subsidiary tower sent their highest representatives for discussion…
One of the gorgeously dressed women said with a worried face, "Now that our Spirit Pagoda's master and all thirty-six Council Members have perished, the situation is a bit grim!"
The old man next to her stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "Mm! Such a massive blow to the headquarters directly affects the operation of every subsidiary tower. At this rate, it won't be long before the Spirit Pagoda is destroyed!"
"What should we do then? Are we just going to watch the Spirit Pagoda decline?"
"In my opinion, to stabilize the current situation, we must select someone strong and from within the Spirit Pagoda to take on the role of the new Pagoda Master!"
"Wait, even though the Pagoda Master has perished, don't we still have the Vice Tower Master? Everyone has seen the strength of the Vice Tower Master, he's definitely capable of assuming the role of the Pagoda Master!"
In a fleeting moment, all the representatives were fixating their blazing gazes on the silent Leng Yaozhu!
The person before them was not only the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda but also the well-known Sky Phoenix Douluo on the Continent—a powerful Four-Word Battle Armor Master!
Her strength was no less formidable than Qiangugu Dongfeng's!
Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes glanced at everyone before she pursed her lips and tactfully declined, "I failed to stop what happened at the headquarters; I cannot shirk the blame. How can I assume the position of the new Pagoda Master?"
It was she, the Pagoda Master, who had sacrificed herself to take down that Dark Blood Devil, one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, in mutual destruction!
Seeing her reaction, the representatives looked at each other and could all see what the others were thinking...
They started to console her, "Vice Tower Master, since you feel guilty, you should even more assume the role of Pagoda Master! Do you really intend to just watch as everything the Pagoda Master held dear is destroyed?"
"Yes! Vice Tower Master, please reconsider. As it stands, you are the only one qualified to be the Pagoda Master."
"Vice Tower Master, consider this our plea! The Spirit Pagoda cannot go a day without its master!"
After hearing these words, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes showed a hint of hesitation, "This..."
The firm belief in her heart began to waver...
Although the Pagoda Master's actions were extreme, everything he did was for the Spirit Pagoda! She realized this truth at the very end.
But could she truly bear to watch everything he cared for crumble to nothing?
On this matter, no one could provide her with a satisfactory answer...
After a long moment, she took a deep breath and calmly said, "Very well, but I will only manage the Spirit Pagoda as an acting Pagoda Master. There will be only one Pagoda Master, and that is Qiangugu Dongfeng!"
Perhaps this could be seen as repaying him a favor...
Upon hearing this, the representatives' cheeks revealed ecstatic smiles, the distinction between acting or not acting as the Pagoda Master wasn't important at all!
What mattered was that she was willing to take up the responsibilities of the Pagoda Master! That alone was enough!
...
Soon, the news of Leng Yaozhu succeeding as the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda swiftly spread across the Continent...
Not only the major powers but even the Spirit Pagoda Members from the branches were unanimous in their support!
As she was originally the Vice Tower Master and possessed certain prestige, and with the previous Pagoda Master, Qiangugu Dongfeng, perishing, she naturally became the most powerful successor!
Within the War God Hall!
Hall Master Chen Xinjie remarked with a sigh, "I didn't expect Leng Yaozhu to inherit the position of Pagoda Master. This is indeed a surprise!"
Guan Yue also nodded, "Yes, with her personality, she would have not volunteered for the position of the Pagoda Master. I'm afraid it was only after persistent coaxing and badgering by the representatives that she agreed to succeed!"
"That might be so, but when Leng Yaozhu took over as the Tower Master, she said she was only acting as the Pagoda Master and that Qiangugu Dongfeng would always be the Pagoda Master. Those branch representatives must have turned a deaf ear to that!"
"I heard the Holy Spirit Cult had a cooperative relationship with the Spirit Pagoda. Why would they suddenly attack it?"
"Could it be that this Leng Yaozhu colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult? Of course, this is just speculation!"
Chen Xinjie interjected upon hearing this, "Let's not make wild guesses. There might be deeper secrets behind this incident... but it has nothing to do with us!"
What he was really concerned about was whether the War God Hall would become the next target of the Holy Spirit Cult!
