Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King
Chapter 1803: Spirit Pagoda Chairwoman Gu YuenaChapter 1803: Spirit Pagoda Chairwoman Gu Yuena
Reinforcements from the Northwestern Legion and Central Legion arrived several minutes later, but what use were they going to be? The losses that had already been incurred couldn’t be recovered.
Dong Zi’an stood atop his Fierce Wolf mecha, looking at the ruined encampment, and it was as if he had suddenly aged 10 years.
If it weren’t for his selfishness in trying to force the deployment of Eternal Heaven, the Western Legion wouldn’t have been dealt such a heavy blow.
However, there was no way to undo his decision; the reality was irreversible.
A series of figures were being reported to him, further exacerbating his pain.
The familiar faces of his brothers had ceased to exist, and the enemy had been far more powerful than he had anticipated.
Qiangu Dongfeng!
As soon as the name surfaced in Dong Zi’an’s mind, his heart was filled with burning fury. It was Qiangu Dongfeng who had convinced him to do this!
His gaze scoured through the crowd, and he quickly caught sight of Qiangu Dongfeng, as well as many powerful beings of the Spirit Pagoda. At this moment, they were all huddled in a circle, and within that circle lied the bodies of several dozens of Spirit Pagoda members, among which were several Titled Douluos, all of whom had their life force completely devoured.
Dong Zi’an opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do so.
If it weren’t for the valiant efforts of these powerful beings from the Spirit Pagoda, over half of the Western Legion would’ve most likely already been wiped out. In particular, the image of Gu Yuena opposing the Spirit Sovereign was ingrained deeply in his mind.
Only now did he realize that the stunning young woman who very rarely spoke during the meetings possessed such incredible power. She was even more powerful than Qiangu Dieting!
“Qiangu Dongfeng, we’re going to impeach you! You have no right to continue as the Spirit Pagoda Chairman!” A sharp voice suddenly rang out, instantly attracting a lot of attention.
Currently, Qiangu Dongfeng was standing in front of the bodies of the Spirit Pagoda members, looking as if he had lost his soul.
He was naturally aware of the severity of this incident. It was his decision that had brought disaster upon both the Western Legion and the Spirit Pagoda, and if it weren’t for Gu Yuena’s scintillating display of power, their losses would’ve most likely been at least doubled.
Qiangu Dieting’s eyes were closed, but it could be seen that his body was trembling, and there was an expression of indescribable pain on his face.
It was over for the Spirit Pagoda.
Qiangu Dieting was well aware of what this incident entailed.
The Western Legion had always been the Spirit Pagoda’s most important ally, yet they had completely screwed over this ally of theirs today. Regardless of how much the Spirit Pagoda had lost, the losses suffered by the Western Legion could only be more severe, and the chief commissioner of the army headquarters was undoubtedly going to be furious after hearing about this.
Regardless of how wealthy the Spirit Pagoda, it would only be nothing more than a Soul Master organization after losing the support of the military. Furthermore, the Spirit Pagoda was equivalent to the Qiangu Family.
Even before the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s revenge operation, many dissenting voices had already arisen within the Spirit Pagoda, and the dissatisfaction against the Qiangu Family was only going to be further exacerbated in the wake of this incident.
Perhaps it wasn’t entirely over for the Spirit Pagoda, but there was no way that the Qiangu Family would be able to continue leading the organization.
Qiangu Dongfeng didn’t try to shift blame to anyone else as he knew that there would be no point in doing that. He was still firmly of the opinion that everything he had done was for the Spirit Pagoda’s sake, but none of that mattered. Who was going to listen to him?
Qiangu Dieting finally opened his eyes, and sighed, “All of this was caused by Dongfeng, and he should be held accountable. I am also of the opinion that he is no longer fit to continue as chairman. Ever since the younger generation has risen up, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have gone from strength to strength; perhaps it’s also time for our Spirit Pagoda to follow in their example.”
He turned his gaze toward Gu Yuena as he spoke, and there was a complex look in his eyes.
Qiangu Zhangting was standing beside Gu Yuena, and he said with a hesitant expression, “Great Grandfather, I, I don’t think I’m ready…”
“Shut up! Get over here,” Qiangu Dieting ordered.
Qiangu Zhangting faltered slightly before making his way over to Qiangu Dieting. He wanted to ask a question, but the cold aura emanating from Qiangu Dieting’s body made him decide against it.
Qiangu Dieting turned toward Gu Yuena, and said, “I suggest making Vice-chairman Gu Yuena the interim Spirit Pagoda Chairwoman, and at the conclusion of this battle, a new election will be held once everyone returns to the Spirit Pagoda. Are there any objections to this?”
At the end of the day, Qiangu Dieting was still a quasigod and the most important figure in the Spirit Pagoda, so even if the Qiangu Family were to fall, his words still held a lot of weight.
Qiangu Dongfeng shuddered slightly as he cast his gaze toward his father, but Qiangu Dieting completely ignored him.
Qiangu Dongfeng opened his mouth to say something, only to swallow his words as a dejected look appeared on his face, and even his aura had completely sagged.
Even now, he still didn’t think that he was at fault, and he didn’t know what he had done wrong, but this was the undeniable reality that he couldn’t fight against.
“I concur,” Leng Yaozhu said, casting her gaze toward Gu Yuena as she did so.
“I also concur,” another elder said.
Qiangu Zhangting was completely stunned by this turn of events. He had thought that Qiangu Dieting was going to pass the position of chairman onto him, but to his surprise, the one to be promoted was his fiancee instead!
However, after a brief stupor, he immediately turned toward Gu Yuena with an ecstatic and entranced expression.
Qiangu Dongfeng could only heave an internal sigh upon seeing this.
Gu Yuena had hidden her powers extraordinarily well up to this point.
While it was true that she was very young, there was currently no one more suitable than her to take over control.
Ever since joining the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena had experienced an unprecedentedly meteoric rise, but all of this had been brought to her by her own power and ability.
In order to rise up the ranks quickly in the Spirit Pagoda, one’s cultivation rank had to keep up, and during her initial period in the Spirit Pagoda, that had been the main driving factor behind her rise.
Through her rapid progression in cultivation, she was able to climb to a very respectable position in the Spirit Pagoda at a very young age.
However, what truly propelled her toward the core circle of the Spirit Pagoda was her successful development of black soul spirits.
Even though she had only made some changes on the existing foundation, those changes had prevented the project from deviating from the right path, and the successful development of black soul spirit had completely revolutionized the Soul Power world, thereby significantly elevating the status of the Spirit Pagoda.
In fact, this became the foundation that gave Qiangu Dongfeng the courage to plot against Shrek City.
With the creation of these artificial black soul spirits, the Spirit Pagoda had essentially roped in the support of all high-grade Soul Masters. After all, it was currently virtually impossible to find 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and Soul Masters who possessed 100,000-year-old soul rings were exceedingly rare.
Thus, 10,000-year-old soul spirits had become the highest pursuit for the vast majority of Soul Masters.
Times were now different from the ancient past. Back then, one would have to personally slay a 10,000-year-old soul beast to obtain a 10,000-year-old soul ring, and the risk involved was obviously massive. Now, 10,000-year-old soul rings could be bought with money from the Spirit Pagoda, so things were much safer and easier in comparison.
In the wake of that breakthrough, the Spirit Pagoda earned an astronomical sum of revenue, and its influence and status were elevated considerably.
It was also because of this that Gu Yuena had risen up to become one of the four spirit envoys so quickly.
