บท 1995: Chapter 1949: Treatment of an Official War God (Please Subscribe)_1

Hearing these words, a warmth emerged in Gu Yue's heart...

If it were any other Council Member, they would surely wish to leverage this relationship and have the other party concede voluntarily, right?

After taking a deep breath, Gu Yue seemed to have made up her mind and solemnly spoke, "Pagoda Master, rest assured, I will not let personal feelings affect me. If I really face Wulin, I will still compete earnestly!"

Leng Yaozhu, upon hearing this, naturally could say no more and softly said, "Gu Yue... good child, no matter what decision you make, I support you."

Pausng momentarily, she added, "Oh yes, something else happened during your absence, didn't it?"

Gu Yue paused momentarily, puzzled, "Pagoda Master, please speak!"

Only then did Leng Yaozhu continue, "Not long ago, that newly risen legion purchased a whopping several thousand Spirit Souls from our Spirit Pagoda!"

"Even though they did not exhibit any abnormalities, I always feel that this legion intentionally made contact with the Spirit Pagoda!"

Upon hearing this statement, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she thought, "It seems Di Tian and the others have already taken action. However... purchasing such a large number of Spirit Souls at once, it's no wonder the members of the Spirit Pagoda are vigilant!"

Thinking this, she responded nonchalantly, "Pagoda Master, I actually know about this legion!"

Now it was Leng Yaozhu's turn to be surprised. "Oh? But I haven't heard that you had visited that legion before!"

With a calm tone, Gu Yue replied, "In fact, I am very familiar with someone in that legion! And they serve as the leader of one of its branches!"

Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips. "I see, then by your understanding, Gu Yue, this legion doesn't harbor any other motives towards our Spirit Pagoda?"

Gu Yue intentionally led the conversation, "I'm not clear on the specifics, but it's also possible that this legion wants to affiliate with the Spirit Pagoda!"

Although she couldn't influence Leng Yaozhu's decisions... she could still enhance her favorable impression of the legion!

Leng Yaozhu muttered, "I see... in that case, I will make more contact with this legion later on, to ascertain their true intentions as much as possible."

"All right, focus on your cultivation for now; leave these matters to me, the Pagoda Master!"

With that, she proactively ended the communication...

Soon after, Leng Yaozhu's gaze turned toward Qiangu Qingfeng, "Vice Tower Master, how do you view what Gu Yue has said?"

Qiangu Qingfeng remained composed, "I've investigated thoroughly. Gu Yue indeed took a Soul Guidance Train heading in the direction of that legion during her vacation from Shrek Academy."

"She knows one of the branch leaders there; it's likely true!"

Since Gu Yue was chosen as the next Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, it was only natural to clarify everything that happened with her!

Leng Yaozhu propped up her chin, pondering seriously, "Hmm... If this legion really intends to affiliate with our Spirit Pagoda, perhaps we can use Gu Yue's connection with that branch leader to negotiate!"

"Of course, if they harbor ulterior motives, then we need not be so courteous!"

Qiangu Qingfeng nodded slightly, "Pagoda Master, your wisdom is unparalleled!"

...

On the fringes, the Soul Beast Legion!

Bi Ji spoke with a smile, "Di Tian, the Spirit Souls transported by the Spirit Pagoda this time are of very good quality. After the legion members absorb them, their strength should improve significantly!"

Di Tian's expression was satisfactory as well, nodding, "Yes, it seems our action this time has not aroused the Spirit Pagoda's suspicion."

One of the ferocious beasts scoffed, "But to increase the soul power rank of these human Soul Masters, we have to bear the expenses; it truly irks me!"

Although he was nominally the legion commander, in truth, all the ordinary members of the legion were outsiders in his eyes, whom he wouldn't lament sacrificing!

Another ferocious beast simply shrugged, "Well, you can't say it like that. If we don't offer these human Soul Masters some small incentives, how would they possibly stay content within the legion!"

Bi Ji affirmed, "You're right, to make these human Soul Masters serve us truly, the treatment naturally can't be poor, otherwise, they'll just defect to the enemy as soon as we go to war with other forces, which completely defeats the purpose!"

Di Tian seemed to think of something and asked in doubt, "By the way, Bi Ji, have those Spirit Pagoda Members who were transporting Spirit Souls left?"

Bi Ji was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully, "They left just yesterday morning; they must already be halfway there by now!"

After having the people below treat the Spirit Pagoda Members well, she didn't pay much more attention to it.

After all, it was just a rather unimportant task!

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "I see, in that case, it seems necessary for me, as the leader, to personally visit the Spirit Pagoda next time!"

A look of confusion spread across Bi Ji's eyes, "Di Tian?"

Seeing her expression, Di Tian explained slowly and clearly, "Our Lord mentioned in the communication that she would steer the Spirit Pagoda's master towards our legion as much as possible. Given that, my personal visit should also let them feel our sincerity."

As the king of soul beasts, his nature was prideful; he was truly reluctant to visit the Spirit Pagoda personally...

But thinking of Gu Yue's plan, he still chose to suppress his pride.

After understanding the reason, Bi Ji pondered and said, "Di Tian, when the time comes, allow me to accompany you. I am quite confident in negotiating with humans!"

...

Blood God Army, Command Room!

Long Tianwu looked at Tang Wulin in front of him with a smile and complimented, "Captain Tang Wulin, you really did the Special Forces Department proud this time, successfully advancing to the final four of the Mecha contest!"

Tang Wulin stood tall, earnestly responding, "General Long flatters me; as a subordinate of Colonel Long Yuxue, I naturally cannot disgrace our legion!"

Long Tianwu grew more pleased with him the more he looked, "Very good, that is the spirit of our Blood God Army warriors!!"

However, he didn't forget the purpose of this meeting.

"Let's get straight to the point. The reason I called you here is actually at the behest of Blood One!"

Tang Wulin frowned, "Blood One? Does the officer have any directives?"

Long Tianwu shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "Put simply, since Blood One couldn't recruit you, he hopes that through me, I can persuade you to join the Blood God Camp!"

Tang Wulin immediately understood...

Blood One still hadn't given up on the idea of recruiting him!

He remembered already having personally refused many times!

As if noticing Tang Wulin's thoughts, Long Tianwu emphasized each word, "Captain Tang Wulin, I know you value loyalty, but compared to the Special Forces Department, Blood God Camp is indeed more suitable for your development!"

"Additionally, Blood One has promised that if you join the Blood God Camp, even as a reserve, you would receive the treatment of a formal War God! For instance... direct promotion to Major General!"

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted sharply, exclaiming in astonishment, "What? Promoted to Major General?"

Long Tianwu confirmed, "That's right, normally only a formal War God could achieve the rank of Major General. Clearly, Blood One values you highly!"

"Alright, this is merely my personal suggestion; whether you want to join the Blood God Camp is entirely up to you!"
