Meanwhile, the Black Dragon that soared through the sky plunged directly downward, landing steadily on the ground before transforming into a human figure…
It was none other than Di Tian!
His gaze traveled two days into the future as he demanded, "Titan Ape, Azure Oxpython, what on earth has happened? Why have the soul beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform suddenly rioted!"
They were the ones who created this plane of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform; they should be crystal clear about the internal affairs!
Unexpectedly, the Azure Oxpython turned to look at him and said with a heavy tone, "Di Tian, your timing is perfect, we also want to ask you, what's wrong with these soul beasts!"
Di Tian furrowed his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
Could it be that the soul beasts' riot wasn't caused by them?
The Titan Ape explained, "We have always been guarding the forbidden ground, but these soul beasts suddenly went mad, escaping outwards and even causing the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to start shaking!"
"We originally thought that you knew what the problem was, but it seems that's not the case!"
Di Tian's expression grew even more unsightly, "Those soul beasts have all been tested by precise instruments, there's no way such a problem would occur!"
"In that case, this riot is manmade!"
Suddenly, the visage of a human being emerged in his mind…
Qiangu Qingfeng!
Yes, that fellow who was extremely adept in the field of brain domain manipulation!
It was rumored that after he led the federation's powerhouses to confront the Abyssal Creature Army, he hadn't made an appearance!
Following this clue, Di Tian's golden pupils shone with a burst of brilliance, "Could it be, that this guy infiltrated the Spirit Pagoda alone and secretly tampered with those soul beasts!"
"Yes, this possibility is very high, I must tell the lord above!"
Noticing his change, the Azure Oxpython asked in confusion, "Di Tian?"
Di Tian snapped back to attention and said earnestly, "I'll leave the stabilization of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to you two; I and the lord above will ascertain the cause as quickly as possible!"
The Titan Ape hastily tried to stop him, "Hey... wait a moment!"
But before he could finish his sentence, Di Tian had already transformed back into the Black Dragon and soared into the sky…
If his speculation was correct, Qiangu Qingfeng was currently in the laboratory, attempting to destroy those secret research projects!
The riot of these soul beasts was merely a diversion!
Watching that black dot in the sky, the Titan Ape said with some irritation, "Can't this guy wait for me to finish talking before leaving?"
He had wanted to ask the other to contribute some effort, after all, both he and his elder brother's current strength was only about the same as an Ultimate Douluo!
The Azure Oxpython guessed, "Judging by his demeanor, he must have thought of something critical to the success or failure of our entire plan!"
The Titan Ape cast a puzzled look, "Big brother, how did you know that?"
The former let out a sigh, "I've always told you to pay more attention to peoples' expressions and words. You've lived for so many years, yet you have no discernment."
"Let's not worry about that now, increase the frequency of the energy transfer!"
...
Inside the laboratory!
A researcher dressed in a white lab coat continued to operate the screen and flipped through internal documents…
Finally, his eyes narrowed, "Sure enough, Gu Yuena wasn't so simple. Ever since she assumed the role of Spirit Pagoda's master, she gave the orders to research soul beasts that very day!"
"Her purpose, I fear, is to enable the Soul Beast Clan to rise again!"
Of course, what truly alarmed him was that this technology was nearing maturity. Given some more time, creating soul beasts would become as simple as eating and drinking!
Once their numbers reached a certain threshold, the positions of humans and soul beasts would be completely reversed!
After taking a deep breath, he said in a cold voice, "No, this plan must be stopped!"
He couldn't just stand by and watch humans be enslaved by soul beasts!
With this thought in mind, he looked around, intending to use brute force to destroy this place…
In doing so, he could interrupt the plan!
Suddenly, Di Tian burst into the research lab…
Before him stood Qiangu Qingfeng…
Di Tian's golden pupils revealed a murderous intent, "Qiangu Qingfeng, it truly is you who has caused the soul beasts' rebellion, your vile spirit just won't dissipate."
The former looked at him without any emotion and said indifferently, "Di Tian!"
He had anticipated that he would be exposed the moment he infiltrated the place!
Di Tian intended to strike, but upon realizing something, he shouted angrily, "Qiangu Qingfeng, get out of the Spirit Pagoda now before I lose my temper!"
Without any doubt, Qiangu Qingfeng refused, "That won't do. Now that I've learned of your plans, of course I must intervene."
"Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate!"
Di Tian clenched his fists, wishing he could strike immediately…
But he couldn't!
This was the Spirit Pagoda's research lab, housing important data. Should a battle break out, there could be immeasurable losses!
Seeing the expression on his face, Qiangu Qingfeng sneered, "It seems that this data is of great significance for your creation of new soul beasts. So, all I need to do is destroy this place, right?"
If this had been anywhere else, the opponent would've wanted to tear him to shreds on the spot!
Di Tian was trembling with fury, "If you dare do this, today, you absolutely won't leave the Spirit Pagoda alive!"
Qiangu Qingfeng interrupted again, "As I've said before, if it can halt your plans, my life means nothing!"
Having lived for so long, he had lived enough. If he could contribute a little to humanity in the end, it would be entirely worth it!
Leng Yaozhu, who had been hidden behind the scenes, stepped forward, saying in a comforting tone, "Vice Tower Master! Give up, the plan has already been initiated, and you alone can't stop it!"
During her term, Qiangu Qingfeng had also provided a great deal of help!
So, she didn't want him to fall here!
Qiangu Qingfeng looked over with a complex expression, "Leng Yaozhu, I didn't expect even you to be here… Most likely, you're involved in this plan too?"
Leng Yaozhu softly acknowledged with an "Mm!" She didn't deny it…
Because the truth was right before her eyes!
Qiangu Qingfeng asked again, "Can you tell me your reasons? You're also a member of humanity!"
He could understand why Gu Yuena would help ferocious beasts, as she was a soul beast herself!
But Leng Yaozhu, as a human, was not only failing to stop it, she was abetting tyranny!
Leng Yaozhu looked at him squarely, articulating each word, "There are not so many reasons. Gu Yue is like my daughter. Whatever she wants to do, I will not refuse her!"
After a pause, she continued, "Vice Tower Master… no, I should say Qiangu Qingfeng, if you leave now, I can guarantee that the people of the Spirit Pagoda will not make a move against you."
Qiangu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze, his expression growing even colder, "If that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss!"
"This Continent can only belong to humanity!!"
Having said that, he immediately released his Martial Soul, and the nine soul rings under his feet lit up…
The immense oppressive force instantly caused the research lab to shake violently…
