Chapter 3697

The next day!

Spirit Pagoda!

Each Council Member received a notification from Leng Yaozhu in a timely manner and rushed to the headquarters!

At this moment, they were gathered together, discussing...

One of the Council Members pondered, "Have we not seen a significant increase in people at the Spirit Pagoda lately? I always feel it's several times more than before!"

Another Council Member affirmed, "Indeed, it is said that an army with a strength of over ten thousand has joined our Spirit Pagoda, which can be considered a huge boon."

"No wonder the Pagoda Master summoned all the Council Members for a meeting today; it must be regarding these new members!"

"I think it's not that simple. The Pagoda Master has recently seemed to have quite some objections to the current Council Members. I'm afraid the Spirit Pagoda might undergo some major changes!"

Just then, the female staff member responsible for conveying Leng Yaozhu's message spoke respectfully, "Council Members, time's up. Please enter the main hall for the meeting!"

After her words fell, they took the elevator together, entered the main hall, and sat down in their reserved seats!

At the main seat, Leng Yaozhu spoke indifferently, "Has everyone arrived?"

The woman next to her bowed slightly, "Reporting to the Pagoda Master, all the Council Members have arrived!"

Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, "Good, let's officially begin the meeting."

She had hoped to catch a few late Council Members and take the opportunity to remove them from their positions. It seems they're all on high alert, though!

As she finished, except for the woman beside her, the rest of the Spirit Pagoda Members filed out...

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu's expression gradually turned serious, and she addressed the seated Council Members, "Council Members, you must have already heard the news. Just yesterday, in the name of the Pagoda Master, I approved the request for a certain army to join the Spirit Pagoda!"

She glanced at the woman, "Report on the military's situation!"

The latter nodded, "Yes, Pagoda Master."

Then she pulled up a virtual screen and began, "According to statistics, this army consists of approximately ten thousand and eight hundred Soul Masters, with sixty percent ranging from Grand Soul Master to Soul Ancestor! Thirty percent range from Soul King to Emperor, and the remaining ten percent are from Soul Sage to Soul Douluo!"

After pausing, she continued, "Moreover, all the Commanders of the army have reached the Hyper Douluo level!"

Upon this revelation, all the Council Members in attendance gasped...

"What?? The addition of several Hyper Douluo, our Spirit Pagoda is truly magnificent!"

"With these powerhouses joining, our Spirit Pagoda's status on the Continent will be even more supreme!"

"Yes, no wonder the Pagoda Master agreed. This army is really extraordinary!"

"But... If it's just a single army joining, a simple notification would suffice. There's no need to assemble all the Council Members!"

"Not clear, but Lord of the Cold Tower must have her reasons!"

While everyone was confused, Leng Yaozhu's tone became even chillier...

"Indeed, the joining of this army to the Spirit Pagoda is a good thing. However, there's been one issue that's been troubling me about the Spirit Pagoda's internal affairs."

Hearing the sudden change in her tone, a bad premonition arose in all the Council Members' minds...

Before they had time to think, Leng Yaozhu spoke coldly again, "Correct, as everyone has guessed, with the Commanders of this army joining the Spirit Pagoda, in order to facilitate management, it's necessary to assign them suitable positions!"

"And the position of Council Member is most suitable! Therefore... Today, we will be dismissing several Council Members who have contributed the least to the Spirit Pagoda!"

These words made the hearts of the Council Members present chill by half...

They were not the council members from Qiangu Qingfeng's tenure who had their own factional power!

Being stripped of their positions was just a matter of a few words from the Pagoda Master!

...

Not far away, Elder Ya'li, who was looking up at the Spirit Pagoda, sensed something was amiss with her immense spiritual power...

Her expression became solemn, "Hmm? An intense explosion came from inside the Spirit Pagoda, I'm afraid Wulin and the others have been exposed!"

Beside her, Yuan En Zhentian asked, "Elder Ya'li, should we take action?"

Ya'li didn't answer, instead, she took a deep breath, "Members of Shrek Academy and Blood Dragon Squad, on my command, launch the attack immediately and attract the enemy's attention. Buy time for Tang Wulin and the others!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who had been eagerly awaiting were now excitedly saying, "We can finally make a move! Let those from the Spirit Pagoda see the power of the Shrek Seven Monsters!"

"That's right, this time we must annihilate them completely!"

"They dare to collude with evil Soul Masters, death is their only fate!!"

"Members of the Blood Dragon Squad, follow the Shrek students and charge!!"

"Charge! We who have battled abyssal creatures hundreds of times are not to be trifled with!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters are just wild beasts without reason, not our match at all!"

And like that, the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Blood Dragon Squad jointly initiated their attack on the Spirit Pagoda...

Naturally, the people in the great hall of the Spirit Pagoda noticed immediately and released their Martial Souls to meet the attack!

"Damn it, these guys had planned this all along, attacking at this moment!"

"Hmph! What does it matter? Let's slaughter these fools first and then we'll capture those inside the Spirit Pagoda!"

"Exactly, our Spirit Pagoda has nearly a thousand people, and they have only a few dozen. It's futile!"

Yue Zhengyu saw this and was the first to rush into the crowd, coldly shouting, "Hmph, bold words indeed. First soul skill, Holy Light Illumination!"

Intense golden light dazzled all around, blinding some of the enemies...

Ye Xinglan also charged over, coldly shouting, "Zheng Yu, I'll help you. Fifth soul skill, Celestial Sword!"

The huge Star God Sword in her hand emitted terrifying soul power fluctuations. She slashed at the blinded enemies, instantly tearing them into pieces...

Seeing Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu harvesting lives like War Gods, Jiang Wuyue couldn't help but itch for a share, "You can't hog all the glory!"

His sixth soul ring lit up...

Sixth Soul Skill, Overlord Shattering Sky Strike

He leaped into the air, transforming into a T-rex about dozens of meters tall. The huge claws brought a suffocating impact as he smashed them downwards, instantly turning a dozen Spirit Pagoda Members into a bloody mist...

The other members of the Blood Dragon Squad also refused to be outdone, launching ferocious attacks on the enemies ahead...

For a time, they actually gained the upper hand!

Long Yuxue then released a soul barrier to protect Xu Lizhi and the others nearby, inwardly analyzing, "It seems that these members of the Spirit Pagoda aren't that strong, there are just many of them."

With the Limit Douluo level Holy Spirit Crown in play, they didn't have to worry about injuries, and the buns made by food class Xu Lizhi could restore soul power...

At first glance, it seemed they could indeed wipe out the entire Spirit Transmission Tower Branch!

Just when she had this thought, a large Wishing Angel phantom, a hundred meters in size, appeared behind Ya'li, with her fifth Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring lighting up...
