The amorous Douluo Zang Xin, still dressed in a simple robe, walked slowly with his usual gentle smile on his lips.

As he handed the paper list to the guard for verification, he said softly, "Since we've run into each other, why don't we go in together?"

"Uh, you can go in first. Lingbing and I plan to enjoy the scenery outside for a while longer. After all, we're almost at the top of the Spirit Pagoda, and the view overlooking the sea of ​​clouds is quite rare, so we won't come with you."

Almost instinctively, Leng Yulai stood in front of Huo Yuhao, blocking Zang Xin's gaze from reaching out to him.

It's no wonder she was so nervous.

It wouldn't matter if it were anyone else, but for the amorous Douluo who clearly has an abnormal sexual orientation, she absolutely cannot allow her beloved master, whom she cherishes so much, to have too much unnecessary contact with the other party.

Seeing Leng Yulai's alarmed expression, Zang Xin touched his nose, feeling a little helpless.

He coughed awkwardly, then, finding a way to back down, said:

"Since that's the case, I won't force myself to come along. I'm only here to pass on a few words for Ling Zichen, who's obsessed with research, that I really can't refuse."

She hopes you can take some time to visit her research institute and see her latest achievements. Of course, if you can just hand over the batch of Tianduan metal that you agreed to trade with last time, then you don't have to go to her place.

"Several key research projects at the Federal Research Institute are eagerly awaiting your successful forging of the new Heavenly Forged Metal before they can proceed to the next stage of their experiments. That's what she told me directly."

Since Zhenhua officially announced his retirement due to health reasons, he has been relying entirely on the person in front of him to obtain the Heavenly Forging Metal.

Previously, he and Ling Zichen, representing the federal government, had negotiated a deal with him, and he thought they could successfully obtain a batch of Tianduan Metal.

As a result, this master suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion, and this seclusion lasted for almost half a year.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's seclusion location was in the core area of ​​Qiankun Wenqing Valley, which is difficult for outsiders to set foot in, Ling Zichen, as a research fanatic, would probably have been banging on the door of his seclusion every few days to urge him on.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and replied, "I am truly sorry for the delay caused by some important matters. Once I have finished my work, I will personally visit Miss Ling with the promised Heavenly Forging Metal."

Having received a positive response, Zang Xin breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to push open the door and go inside.

But Leng Yulai didn't care about any of that. She dragged Huo Yuhao and Nanali around outside the conference room for almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before finally going inside.

Only three people were present in the conference room. If Huo Yuhao hadn't suddenly come to listen in, this huge space might have been empty except for the representatives of these three forces.

Seated in the main seat was a man with white hair and beard but a youthful face.

His eyes were incredibly deep, and the aura he exuded unintentionally gave people a heavy sense of oppression that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth. This person was none other than the quasi-god level powerhouse, Qian Gu Die Ting.

His gaze fell directly on Huo Yuhao, who had just walked in, with a hint of interest in his eyes. When he spoke, his voice was like thunder, echoing in the empty conference room.

"You must be the Federation's newly appointed master craftsman, Master Lingbing. Meeting you today, I am truly impressed by your extraordinary talent and remarkable demeanor."

If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, I would definitely drag you along for a few drinks.

Upon hearing Qian Gu Die Ting's self-proclaimed seniority, the Leng sisters and Nanali, who knew Huo Yuhao's true identity, all had slight changes in expression, as if they were trying their best to suppress their laughter.

Huo Yuhao remained calm and replied indifferently, "If there is another opportunity next time, I certainly wouldn't mind."

However, given the urgency and the rapidly changing situation outside, I think it's best for everyone to get down to business and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

"Hahaha, good, what a straightforward young man!"

Qian Gu Die Ting laughed a few times, seemingly not finding anything wrong with the awkwardness in Huo Yuhao's words, and his mood remained cheerful.

"As expected of a promising young man, his decisive and efficient style is far superior to that of an old man like me who is about to die. Well then, I won't waste any more words."

"Amorous Douluo, as a representative sent by the Federal Government, I know your purpose is simple. You simply want an explanation from our Spirit Pagoda and to retrieve the lost God-Slaying Fixed-Motion Soul-Guided Cannonball."

As for Tianfeng Douluo, as the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, I know perfectly well what you've been up to with your actions lately.

At this point, his smile faded, and he slowly began to speak: "But as I have always emphasized before, although Dongfeng is the current tower master, he is completely unaware of the theft of the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell."

He was also a victim of being misled by his cronies in this incident, and he should not be subjected to this unwarranted and illegal imprisonment by the federal government.

As for Deputy Tower Master Leng, if you intend to use this matter, the truth of which has not yet been ascertained, to impeach my son and remove him from his position as Tower Master, I advise you to save your time.

"In this Spirit Pagoda, as long as I live, no matter how many people you secretly rally or how many meetings you hold to re-elect the Pagoda Master, the final result will remain unchanged."

As Qian Gu Die Ting finished speaking, a series of deep dragon roars began to echo around him.

The aura of fighting against heaven and earth, originating from the Panlong Staff martial spirit itself, instantly filled the entire conference room.

Under the oppressive aura of a quasi-god level, there was a sense of black and white being turned upside down.

Zang Xin, whose seat was closest to the Thousand Ancient Court, still had a slight change in expression under the sudden burst of pressure, even though he possessed the cultivation of a demigod.

But the next moment, Qian Gu Die Ting looked at Leng Yao Zhu, whose expression remained unchanged and who hadn't even frowned, and said incredulously:

"How is that possible? Have you secretly broken through to the quasi-god level?"

Leng Yaozhu shook her head, her eyes carrying a hint of mockery for Qian Gu Dieting's arrogant demeanor, but she still calmly replied:

"If I had truly broken through to the Quasi-God realm, I would have already used swift and decisive measures to uproot your ancient family's influence in the Spirit Pagoda, and there would be no need for this meeting."

"and you……"

Qian Gu Die Ting felt a sudden chill rise up his back.

His deep eyes quickly swept over everyone present. Just as he was about to ask something else, Huo Yuhao's indifferent voice rang out in the room.

"If this is your final explanation for this matter, then it truly opens my eyes. Since your ancient family has chosen to cover up everything, then perhaps you really should be expelled from the Spirit Pagoda."

Qian Gu Die Ting was not enraged by Huo Yuhao's seemingly outrageous words; at this moment, all he felt was overwhelming fear.

As if he were being stared at by a real dragon, his body trembled violently as if he had fallen into an ice cave due to the oppressive aura from a completely different level of life.

Gods, this spiritual ice before you definitely possesses divine-level power.

No, wait, Lingbing, that name...

Qian Gu Die Ting's mind, which had been briefly frozen in extreme fear, finally came to the senses of the truth.

But the truth that was about to be revealed only made him more terrified.

Everyone present could see that Qian Gu Die Ting was not in a good state. Leng Yu Lai did not miss the opportunity to kick him while he was down and directly mocked, "Acting Tower Master Qian Gu, what's wrong with you?"

Could you please get rid of that righteous, arrogant demeanor you were just displaying? Don't make a fool of yourself.

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Die Ting's face instantly turned a deep liver color. His lips moved for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Huo Yuhao was too lazy to waste any more time on this matter.

After absorbing a sufficient amount of immortal spiritual energy in the Valley of Love and Destiny, the dragon god's remains within him were able to unleash some of their power.

Now, he no longer needs to weigh the pros and cons or consider the possible consequences of a head-on confrontation when facing a quasi-god level Soul Master, as he did before.

Huo Yuhao completely ignored Qian Gu Dieting's embarrassment and said directly, "Qian Gu Dieting, as the previous tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, you should know very well."

When the Spirit Pagoda was first established, it set up the position of Honorary Tower Master. I don't need to elaborate on the significance of this position here.

So let's leave it at that. The Spirit Pagoda needs a complete overhaul.

Zang Xin, who was standing to the side, also had his pupils shrink when he heard Huo Yuhao's words.

Since its establishment, the Spirit Pagoda has gone through countless changes over the years, and has only ever had one honorary tower master.

That was Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda organization and the Ice Douluo.

Thinking of this, and considering the various events that had recently occurred in the Spirit Pagoda, Zang Xin gradually showed a look of realization, but at the same time, some other doubts arose.

Why did the head of the Sea God family, as the patriarch of his own temple, specifically and solemnly instruct him before he attended the meeting as a representative that if he encountered "Ling Bing" at the meeting, he must take good care of him to the best of his ability?

According to the reason for the disappearance of the God Realm circulating among the Federation's high-ranking officials, Chen Xinjie has the bloodline of the Sea God flowing in his veins. How should he not be at odds with Huo Yuhao, who caused the catastrophe in the God Realm?

According to the reason for the disappearance of the God Realm circulating among the Federation's high-ranking officials, Chen Xinjie has the bloodline of the Sea God flowing in his veins. How should he not be at odds with Huo Yuhao, who caused the catastrophe in the God Realm?

Could there be other hidden secrets or even conspiracies behind this?

While Zang Xin was thinking rapidly, Qian Gu Die Ting on the other side was already covered in sweat.

Just like how he initially wanted to use his quasi-god level cultivation to forcefully subdue everyone and get through this difficult time.

Now that he has encountered Huo Yuhao, whose strength completely overwhelms him, he naturally can't even utter a single word of rebuttal.

Furthermore, because Huo Yuhao holds the title of Honorary Tower Master, he naturally occupies the moral high ground of the Spirit Pagoda.

If Huo Yuhao were to step out of this door now and reveal his true identity inside the Spirit Pagoda, the Qian Gu Clan would immediately collapse and scatter, completely losing its power.

Thinking of this, Qian Gu Die Ting dared not offer any more excuses. He immediately suppressed all his arrogance and even bowed respectfully, saying:

"In this matter, what our ancestor said is very true. I beg our ancestor to be lenient and give me some time. I will definitely give our ancestor and the Federation a satisfactory explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Gu Die Ting disappeared from his seat.

In just a few breaths, with a ripple in space, the reappearing Eternal Court forcibly brought the Eternal East Wind.

Qian Gu Dongfeng, who had just been dragged out of "jail" by his own father, was still a little dazed.

He had no idea what had happened during the meeting.

But when he saw the scene before him, resembling a joint trial, and especially when he saw his father, whom he had always regarded as his support, with a livid face and even a hint of barely suppressed rage, Qian Gu Dongfeng, no matter how slow-witted or foolish, immediately realized that he was probably not going to encounter anything good next.

In his panic, he hurriedly tried to open his mouth, attempting to say something to defend himself.

Before he could even utter a word of explanation, Qian Gu Die Ting, whose face was so dark it was almost dripping with water, unhesitatingly pulled out a specially made copper-headed leather belt from his waist.

With a flick of his wrist, he swung the attack directly at Qian Gu Dong Feng.

The loud cracking of the belt, coupled with Qian Gu Die Ting's relentless exertion in order to show his stance to Huo Yu Hao, filled the air.

In just a moment, Qian Gu Dong Feng, a senior demigod who was usually high and mighty, was whipped into spinning on the ground like a top.

Accompanying this was the uncontrollable, pig-like screams of the ancient east wind.

"Dad, please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. I'll tell you everything..."

"What a piece of junk. You're a useless piece of trash. You're even calling me 'Dad' to beg for mercy, aren't you? You have no backbone at all."

Upon hearing the pleas for mercy, Qian Gu Die Ting not only did not soften his stance and stop what he was doing, but instead lashed out even harder.

He continued cursing and swearing as he mercilessly lashed out dozens of times.

It seemed that the more he smoked, the more he could vent the pent-up frustration he had been holding in for the past month because of his unfilial son's troubles, as well as the shock he had just experienced in front of Huo Yuhao.

His movements as he swung the belt became increasingly smooth and fluid.

After being relentlessly attacked with hundreds of shots, Qian Gu Dongfeng, who was originally a respectable man, is now covered in wounds.

He lay on the ground like a lump of mud, barely breathing, his condition utterly miserable.

Upon seeing this, Qian Gu Die Ting couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

No matter what, Qian Gu Dongfeng was his most valued and proudest son, and the pillar of the Qian Gu family in this generation.

But in order to quell Huo Yuhao's anger and ensure that the family bloodline can continue to be passed down, so as not to suffer the catastrophic disaster of being completely wiped out today, all these sacrifices are worthwhile.
