The Legend of the Dragon King Chapter 1805 – Spirit Pagoda Master Gu Yuena

Chapter 1805: Spirit Pagoda Master Gu Yuena

The reinforcements from the Northwest Army Corps and the Central Army Corps arrived a few minutes later, but what could they do? They could never retrieve what was lost.

Dong Zian stood on the top of the Ferocious Wolf mecha and looked at the scattered mess of what was left of the battlefront. He looked like he had aged ten years.

If they had not been selfishly forced to utilize the Eternal Heaven as soon as possible, the Western Army Corps would not have been attacked so soon.

Whatever the case, life did not allow for ‘ifs’. What happened had already happened. The tragedy had already taken place right before his eyes.

The data collection reported to him lashed onto his heart and caused him more agony.

Those familiar faces had already passed out of existence. The enemy’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

Qiangu Dongfeng, Qiangu Dongfeng!

Dong Zian almost clenched his teeth in rage when he remembered the name. It was the suggestion from the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master that made him choose to do this!

He searched for Qiangu Dongfeng’s figure within the crowd and found him soon enough. Not only Qiangu Dongfeng, but he also found the numerous powerhouses of the Spirit Pagoda. They had formed a ring on the spot surrounding a few dozen Spirit Pagoda powerhouses whose life force had been devoured. All that was left were their corpses.

There were a few Title Douluos among them.

Dong Zian widened his mouth. He was about to say something, but he did not.

Had the members of the Spirit Pagoda’s not stopped the numerous abyssal powerhouses earlier, perhaps the Western Army Corps would lose more than half of its forces and assets right away. The scene where Gu Yuena stopped the Spirit Monarch earlier was already deeply ingrained in his mind.

He had only realized that the young maiden that seldom spoke and remained humble in the meeting was actually so powerful at that moment. In fact, she was even more powerful than Qiangu Dieting!

“Qiangu Dongfeng, we have to impeach you. You don’t deserve to be Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master anymore.” A sharp voice suddenly came from the ground. It drew the attention of many people in the area.

For his part, Qiangu Dongfeng was standing before the corpses of the numerous Spirit Pagoda’s powerhouses. He looked like he had been battered out of his senses.

He was aware of the seriousness of this matter, of course. It was his decision that resulted in disastrous loss for the Western Army Corps and the Spirit Pagoda. Had it not been Gu Yuena’s surprising strength, perhaps the loss would have been doubled.

Qiangu Dieting closed his eyes, but one could see that his body was trembling ever so slightly. The expression on his face showed that he was in an terrible agony.

The Spirit Pagoda was doomed.

Qiangu Dieting was well aware of the significance of this battle.

The Western Army Corps had always been the Spirit Pagoda’s most important ally, but they had truly entrapped their ally horribly! Regardless of the Spirit Pagoda’s loss, the Western Army Corps’s loss was even greater. The military minister above them would certainly be infuriated as well.

No matter how wealthy the Spirit Pagoda was, they were just a soul masters’ organization without the military’s support. Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda did not belong solely to the Qiangu Clan.

When the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy started to revolt against the Spirit Pagoda, there were already many disharmonious voices from the people in the Spirit Pagoda. Undoubtedly, the situation was only going to get worse from this point on. As a result, it was perhaps not the end for the Spirit Pagoda, but the Qiangu Clan was genuinely going to back out from their position.

Qiangu Dongfeng did not absolve himself of the responsibility because he knew that it was meaningless to do so. Despite knowing that everything he did was for the sake of the Spirit Pagoda, would it make any difference for him to say that after what had happened? Who would listen to him?

At last, Qiangu Dieting slowly opened his eyes. He heaved a sigh and said, “All the mistakes are caused by Dongfeng. He should bear the responsibility. I agree that he should not continue to hold the post of Pagoda Master anymore. Shrek and the Tang Sect are thriving prosperously after being taken over by the young people. On the other hand, perhaps it is also time for our Spirit Pagoda to bring in some new blood.”

As he spoke, he looked toward Gu Yuena standing quietly by the side of Qiangu Zhangting with a complicated look in his eye.

Qiangu Zhangting said hesitantly, “Great grandfather, I…I can still…”

Qiangu Dieting glared at Qiangu Zhangting. “Shut up. Zhangting, come over here.”

Qiangu Zhangting was stunned for a moment and then he moved to Qiangu Dieting’s side. He was about to say something, but he did not do it after sensing the ice-cold aura coming from his great grandfather’s body.

Qiangu Dieting looked toward Gu Yuena, “I propose for Deputy Pagoda Master Gu Yuena to succeed the post of Pagoda Master. Due to the urgency of the situation, we can request for her to hold the position temporarily at the very least. After the war has ended, we shall return to the Spirit Pagoda to hold a meeting for the election. Agreed?”

Qiangu Dieting was still the most important member of the Spirit Pagoda and an impressive quasigod of his generation regardless. Even if the Qiangu Clan was going to fall, his words still carried weight.

Qiangu Dongfeng’s body shook. He looked toward his father.

Qiangu Dieting did not even glance at him. The Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master widened his mouth, but in the next moment, his expression had already revealed his dejection. His body’s entire aura seemed to degenerate swiftly.

He did not actually think that he was wrong, and he had no idea what mistake he had made either. Nevertheless, at this exact moment, the reality was right before his eyes and he could no longer deny it.

“I agree,” said the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu in a deep voice. Her gaze shifted to Gu Yuena’s face soon after she made the statement.

“I agree too,” said the other elder.

On the other hand, Qiangu Zhangting standing by Qiangu Dieting’s side was dumbstruck. He assumed that his great grandfather was about to entrust him with the prestigious post. He had not expected that his great grandfather was not promoting him, but his fiance, Nana.

That being said, he immediately went from being dejected to overjoyed after the momentary shock. He looked toward Gu Yuena with infatuation and even cracked into a smile.

Qiangu Dongfeng heaved a sigh in his heart upon seeing his grandson’s behavior.

‘Gu Yuena, oh, Gu Yuena! The little girl is keeping far too many secrets!’

Yes, it was true that Gu Yuena was very young, but it was also true that there was no other candidate more suitable at that point.

Ever since Gu Yuena joined the Spirit Pagoda, she had soared through their ranks like a rocket with nothing but her capabilities and powers.

The main factor to swift promotion within the Spirit Pagoda was first and foremost one’s cultivation base. One’s cultivation base was directly linked to one’s duties. It was also the most crucial method Gu Yuena had used for her promotions during her earlier years. She relied on her education from Shrek Academy and continuous elevation afterward to repeatedly reach greater positions. She managed to acquire rather impressive positions at a very young age.

Eventually, she got the attention of the high-ranking members and entered the core circle of the Spirit Pagoda’s committees after her success in developing ten-thousand-year spirit souls.

Although Gu Yuena had only made some slight changes based on the original research, these minor alterations had actually prevented the detours needed during the earlier development. In the end, the ten-thousand-year spirit souls were produced successfully.

The successful development of ten-thousand-year spirit souls had an explosive impact in the soul masters’ world, and it had also given the Spirit Pagoda a much higher status. In fact, it was the reason for Qiangu Dongfeng’s courage when he later attacked Shrek City.

With the production of ten-thousand-year spirit souls, they could draw all the high-ranking soul masters over to their side. After all, it was almost impossible to acquire ten-thousand-year spirit souls by happenstance. In all the world, there were very few soul masters that would gain one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings. The ten-thousand-year spirit soul had become a highly sought-after prize for the vast majority of soul masters.

It was different from ancient times, when would need to hunt down a ten-thousand-year soul beast personally just to acquire a ten-thousand-year spirit soul. It was a risky venture. On the other hand, one could acquire a ten-thousand-year spirit soul from the Spirit Pagoda just by spending some coins. It was relatively easier!

After that development, the amount of money that the Spirit Pagoda had made reached astronomical figures. The Spirit Pagoda’s status made an enormous jump on the continent.

It was also entirely due to this that Gu Yuena became one of the four great spiriters after a few quick promotions.
