Chapter 3717

In the interrogation room...
Qiangu Qingfeng was tuning various devices when he sensed someone's arrival and paused his movements!
The Spirit Pagoda Members responsible for the escort respectfully reported, "Report, we have followed the Pagoda Master's orders and have escorted the messenger of the Spirit Pagoda here!"
Qiangu Qingfeng responded indifferently, "I know, tie him to that chair!"
Once the words fell, they tied the messenger to the chair, then turned and left...
Looking at Qiangu Qingfeng standing before him, the messenger mustered a bit of courage and challenged, "Who are you? If you're wise, release me at once. Otherwise, once I return to the Dou Ling Empire, I will report everything to His Majesty!"
Qiangu Qingfeng chuckled lightly, "Me? I am Qiangu Qingfeng, somewhat of an expert in the field of brain research, you could say!"
Hearing the words 'brain research', the messenger gnashed his teeth and insisted, "It doesn't matter what kind of expert you are, the Spirit Pagoda cannot afford to provoke the strength of the Dou Ling Empire. Release me now before I get angry!"
Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head, "Sorry, I can't do that. After all, it is the Pagoda Master's command."
"But rest assured, as long as you cooperate, the process of extracting your memories won't be too painful. Of course, if you resist, it will be like countless insects gnawing through your bones!"
With that said, he clapped his hands and two more people responsible for the interrogation walked out from the interrogation room...
Both of them grimly stared at the messenger tied to the chair...
Qiangu Qingfeng continued to explain, "Their Soul Fusion Skill can forcibly excavate one's memories. Pretty impressive, right?"
After a wave of his hand, the two interrogators released their Martial Souls and slowly approached the messenger...
"No... don't come closer, stay away!!!"
They gathered together, discussing with puzzled expressions...
"What's happening with the Spirit Pagoda, sending out so many Soul Masters just now, could it be to welcome the escort team from the Dou Ling Empire?"
"Something's not right, absolutely not right. If they were simply welcoming the escort messengers into the Spirit Pagoda, there would be no need to shackle them with Soul Suppressing Handcuffs!"
"That's to say, the Spirit Pagoda must have a grievance with the Dou Ling Empire. Otherwise, how dare they capture the entire messenger team from the Dou Ling Empire!"
"Hey, I guess it's just for show, to display some authority. The Dou Ling Empire may not be very conspicuous, but it's still an empire, not something a mere power can provoke."
"Foolishness, the Spirit Pagoda holds the lifeline of all Soul Masters on the continent, with all Spirit Souls originating from here. If the Dou Ling Empire wants to make a move on it, they will definitely be stopped by the Xingluo Empire and the Douluo Federation!"
As more and more Soul Masters gathered, one of the Spirit Pagoda Members in charge of watching suddenly turned stern and announced, "This matter is a private affair between the Spirit Pagoda and the Dou Ling Empire. Uninvolved parties should refrain from idle discussion and slander, or suffer the consequences!"
Another one added in a softer tone, "However, please believe that our Spirit Pagoda would not capture the messenger team from the Dou Ling Empire without reason. We will surely provide everyone with a satisfactory explanation later!"
With these words, the gathered Soul Masters nodded thoughtfully and then gradually dispersed...
At this time, the former looked sideways with hesitation, "This matter may reach the ears of the Dou Ling Empire's Emperor within a few hours, do we need to report to the Council Members?"
The latter shook his head, calmly saying, "There's absolutely no need. Since the Pagoda Master ordered a direct action outside the Spirit Pagoda, he must have foreseen the subsequent situation. We, the lower echelon personnel, just need to do our jobs!"
...
Northern Legion! Beside the Star Dou Cabin!
Xie Xie looked at Yuanen Yehui beside him and encouraged, "Ye Hui, I'll be cheering for you from the spectator stands. Also, this is a good opportunity to test your self-created soul skill!"
That day, he had witnessed the power of Yuanen Yehui's self-created soul skill, the Cloud Vortex Divine Punch!
```
Easily destroying a mountain peak, its power is no less than that of a ten-thousand-year soul skill, and it doesn't exhaust too much Soul Power!
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, whispered a soft "Mhm!"
Soon after, the two lay down in the Star Dou Cabin and entered the Star Dou Battle Network...
As soon as they entered, the extremely eye-catching symbol above their heads was noticed by the people around!
One person took in a sharp breath, "Hiss... Is that Yuanen Yehui??"
Another person frowned, "Yuanen Yehui? How come I've never heard of her? And that name sounds so odd, could it be a nickname derived from her real name?"
"Don't you know who Yuanen Yehui is? Haven't you watched a Soul Master Battle? Her strength is terrifying, even Soul Douluo Warriors of the same level can't last more than ten minutes against her!"
"Yeah, it's not an exaggeration to say she's invincible among her peers. She's literally my idol!"
"Pfft, you guys are blowing it out of proportion, saying she's unbeatable at her level and all!"
"Frog in the well! In every bout I've watched involving Yuanen Yehui, she has won dominantly. She is bound to claim the championship in this Soul Master Battle!"
Seeing this, Xie Xie said enviously, "Ye Hui, you're really famous. I just wonder why no one has given you a title yet!"
Yuanen Yehui gave him an annoyed look, "That's because you don't participate in Soul Master Battles!"
Xie Xie chuckled and said, "I'm worried about bumping into my missus..."
A blush crept onto Yuanen Yehui's cheeks, "I'm not going to bicker with you; I'm heading to the competition area now."
Just then, a voice rang in their ears, "Ye Hui, Xie Xie, is that you?"
Suddenly, Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie turned their heads together...
And were surprised to see "Xiao Tang" standing not too far away.
Yuanen Yehui, with a puzzled expression, asked, "And you are??"
Seeing that the former didn't recognize his voice, Tang Wulin immediately switched off the voice-hiding feature and said again, "Ye Hui, Xie Xie, it's me!"
This familiar tone made Xie Xie happily exclaim, "Oh my, Wulin, I didn't expect Xiao Tang to really be you!"
He had long suspected that this "Xiao Tang" was Tang Wulin, and his guess was indeed correct!
Tang Wulin smiled slightly, "Yeah, I didn't expect to run into you guys here either, and looking at the situation, Ye Hui seems to be doing pretty well in the Soul Master Battle!"
He had simply come for a stroll today and happened to recognize Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie by their nicknames.
Xie Xie said proudly, "Of course, my missus... I mean, Ye Hui has made it to the semifinals of the Soul Master Battle!"
Yuanen Yehui feigned anger, "Xie Xie, don't talk nonsense, I'm not your missus yet!"
Xie Xie chuckled, "No need to admit it now, you will be eventually!"
However, the next second, he turned to Tang Wulin with a serious look, asking quietly, "Wulin, how is it going for you in the Blood God Army? I've heard it's both desolate and dangerous there!"
Yuanen Yehui's expression also turned grave, "Yeah, I've also heard of the great reputation of the Blood God Army; it seems to be suppressing a plane known as the abyss!"
