The next day!
Spirit Pagoda!
I saw various council members receive Leng Yaozhu's notification one after another, promptly rushing to headquarters!
At this moment, they were gathered together, discussing...
One of the council members pondered, "Have we recently had a lot more people in the Spirit Pagoda? I always feel like it's several times more than before!"
Another council member confirmed, "Indeed, it's said that a large army group of over ten thousand members joined our Spirit Pagoda. It's a tremendous good thing."
"No wonder the Pagoda Master summoned all the council members for a meeting today. It must be concerning these new members!"
"I don't think it's that simple. The Pagoda Master seems to have some considerable opinions about the current council members recently, perhaps there will be significant changes in the Spirit Pagoda!"
At this moment, the female staff responsible for conveying Leng Yaozhu's message respectfully spoke, "Council members, it's time, please enter the main hall for the meeting!"
After the words fell, they took the elevator and entered the main hall together, sitting in their respective seats!
On the main seat, with an expressionless face, Leng Yaozhu said softly, "Is everyone here?"
The woman responsible for recording beside her bowed slightly, "Reporting to the Pagoda Master, all council members are present!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, "Good, the meeting shall officially begin."
Originally planning to catch a few late council members and take the opportunity to remove them from their positions, seems they were all cautious!
Once she finished speaking, except for the woman beside her, other members of the Spirit Pagoda withdrew...
At this time, Leng Yaozhu's expression became gradually serious, looking at the council members present, she said, "Council members, you must have heard the news. Just yesterday, in the name of the Pagoda Master, I approved a request from an army group to join the Spirit Pagoda!"
She glanced at the woman, "Report on the situation of this army group!"
The latter nodded, "Yes, Pagoda Master."
Then she brought up a virtual screen and said, "According to statistics, this army group has about ten thousand and eight hundred Soul Masters, with Grand Soul Master to Soul Ancestor accounting for sixty percent! Soul King to Emperor accounting for thirty percent, and Soul Sage to Soul Douluo accounting for ten percent!"
Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Additionally, all the commanders of this army group have reached the level of Hyper Douluo!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the council members present exclaimed in astonishment...
"What?? Several Hyper Douluo have joined, it truly strengthens our Spirit Pagoda!"
"With the addition of these strong ones, the status of our Spirit Pagoda on the Continent will rise another notch!"
"Indeed, no wonder the Pagoda Master agreed, this army group is truly extraordinary!
"But... if it's just an army group joining, a simple notification would suffice, there's no need to gather all the council members!"
"Not sure, but Lord of the Cold Tower probably has her own ideas!"
Just as everyone was puzzled, Leng Yaozhu's tone turned cold...
"This army group joining the Spirit Pagoda is indeed a good thing, however, concerning the internal structure of the Spirit Pagoda, there's an issue that has been troubling me!"
Hearing the sudden change in her tone, a sense of foreboding arose in the hearts of the council members...
Without giving them time to think, Leng Yaozhu sternly said, "Indeed, as you might imagine, with the commanders of this army group joining the Spirit Pagoda, to facilitate management, they need to be assigned an appropriate position!"
"And the position of council member is most suitable! Therefore... today, we are going to eliminate several council members who have made the least contributions to the Spirit Pagoda!"
These two sentences chilled half the hearts of the council members...
They are not like those council members during Qiangu Qingfeng's tenure, who had their own party factions!
Being removed from position is just a matter of the Pagoda Master's words!
.....
Tang Wulin carefully laid down the corpse of the evil Soul Master, relieved in his heart...
At the same time, Yuanen Yehui's exclamation came from inside, "Wulin, come over quickly, there are quite a few people being held here, hurry and see if your parents are among them!"
He snapped awake immediately, rushing to the location where Yuanen Yehui was, carefully examining each detained person!
But he couldn't see his parents as he remembered them!
Immediately he shook his head and said, "Ye Hui, my parents are not in here!"
Hear their conversation, these detained people reacted too, their faces showing ecstatic expressions...
"You guys aren't evil Soul Masters, are you? Please save us, we are all innocent!"
"Yes, these evil Soul Masters and Spirit Pagoda people captured us here, and have kept us imprisoned for over ten years!!"
"Please, save us!!"
"As long as you save me, I can give you ten million federation coins, I have plenty of money!!"
Facing this noisy atmosphere, Tang Wulin reassured, "Everyone, please calm down, we are from Shrek Academy, once I find my parents, we will rescue you all immediately!"
He is human too and naturally has selfishness. Since his own parents are not yet found, how can he care about others!
Moreover, if they are released and discovered by the Spirit Pagoda, the plan would be all ruined!
"That's great, Shrek Academy has finally noticed that this Spirit Pagoda has fallen under the control of evil Soul Masters and sent people to rescue us!"
"As long as we can be rescued, waiting a while, a day, a week, a month—it's all fine!"
"Finally... finally, there's a chance to escape from this evil place!"
"Is half an hour enough? If you haven't rescued me by then, don't blame me for tipping off the Spirit Pagoda either!"
Yuanen Yehui's face cooled down, "This guy is likely to disrupt the plan, Wulin, perhaps we should..."
In just one sentence, it sparked a killing intent within her!
Apparently intending to do a good deed by rescuing the other party, yet made into a condition and a threat!
But Tang Wulin stopped her, giving the man a deep look, "Let's go, let's check the higher floors!"
He had no intention of wasting time on people like this!
Yuanen Yehui gave a cold "hmph" and restrained her killing intent...
Thereafter, they searched several floors upwards and still didn't find Tang Wulin's parents!
...
Time ticked by, and Xie Xie and Gu Yue also arrived on the sixth floor!
After killing the Spirit Pagoda members and evil Soul Masters guarding here, they successfully found the detention site!
Xie Xie scanned the people in the cell, and asked, "Does anyone here know Tang Wulin?"
Upon hearing this, these people's faces showed fear, and they quickly shook their heads denying...
"No... I don't know, who is Tang Wulin?"
"Don't know, don't know, we've never heard of this person!"
"Whether it's Tang Wulin or whatever 'lin, never heard of him, don't bring trouble to us!"
In their eyes, those in black robes are naturally evil Soul Masters!
Admitting it would certainly lead to being involved, experiencing inhumane torture!
Xie Xie sighed, "Seems Wulin's parents are not here, let's go."
