Chapter 3895: Chapter 3743
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Changkong's eyebrows slightly furrowed, obviously pondering...
Xie Xie's eyes widened in shock, "What? We have to stay here for a full year and also take care of the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Polarized Eyes, are they treating us like nannies?"
They had spent a year or two on Demon Island, but that was to enhance their own strength!
The Icefire Polarized Eyes, however, didn't seem to offer any benefits to them!
Yue Zhengyu also chimed in, "Exactly, spending a year here taking care of Immortal Herbs is nothing but a waste of time, especially since we are at a critical moment right now!"
Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks showed hesitation, "Although that's the case, we did make a mistake, but this kind of punishment is already very lenient!"
Xu Lizhi's expression turned ugly, "I don't want to stay here that long..."
Tang Wulin pondered, "I think this is a good suggestion. Firstly, it can make the ferocious beasts forgive our mistakes, preventing any impact on the Tang Sect."
"Moreover, the Icefire Polarized Eyes are a rare place in the world, possessing both extremely cold and extremely hot springs. Such a place, where ice and fire converge, offers great benefits for the cultivation of Soul Masters!"
Yuanen Yehui nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I also feel that practicing here is indeed several times faster than in the academy or other places."
The man in purple directly addressed Wu Changkong, "So, what is your answer?"
Wu Changkong's pale blue eyes turned to Tang Wulin and the others, only to find that they were all looking steadfastly at him, their intentions clearly apparent!
After taking a deep breath, he nodded, "Alright, as long as the seniors are willing to forgive our previous mistakes, what harm is there in carefully taking care of the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Polarized Eyes during the coming year?"
The man in purple's lips finally curled up slightly, "Very well, I hope you remember today's promise. From today onwards, the care of the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Polarized Eyes is entrusted to you!"
Behind him, the other ferocious beasts also revealed faint smiles…
Immediately, the human forms of these ferocious beasts vanished…
This sudden turn of events left everyone somewhat bewildered!
They had just been angry with them for unilaterally picking the Immortal Herbs, but if they were not mistaken, when those ferocious beasts vanished, they clearly did so with a smile!
Xie Xie's mouth twitched a few times, "This...that's it? Why do I feel like… we might have been tricked??"
Tang Wulin, feeling deeply, sighed, "Ah… it indeed seems so. These ferocious beasts must have been leading us step by step, but since we promised, we have no choice but to waste a year here!"
Yuanen Yehui's Beautiful Eyes twinkled a few times, calmly saying, "As long as we can keep up with our cultivation, taking care of the Immortal Herbs in the Icefire Polarized Eyes isn't a bad thing!"
Moreover, these ferocious beasts have awakened, and if evil Soul Masters appear again, they will definitely not stand by idly!
In this way, they have secured a safe and efficient place for cultivation!
Yue Zhengyu also smiled bitterly, "I can already imagine we're going to spend the most boring year in the Icefire Polarized Eyes! Of course, the speed of improving soul power rank should not be very slow."
Xu Lizhi whispered, "As long as Sister Xinglan is here, I won't be bored anywhere!"
Ye Xinglan looked at him tenderly, "Lizhi, me too."
As long as the person you love is by your side, the temporary loss of freedom isn't that unpleasant...
…
In the Soul Land, within the federation!
The elders of one faction, with a livid expression, spoke, "Damn War God Hall, how dare they secretly investigate our federation's high ranks, do they not have any respect for us at all!"
"Yes, I absolutely have to bring up this matter at the meeting. It's just a subsidiary army, they truly have no right!"
"I feel like I'm constantly being watched by members of War God Hall, as if I have committed some unforgiveable crime!"
"Hmph, we should even file for impeachment against the Hall Master of War God Hall for his overstepping actions. What qualification does he have?!"
Upon hearing this, Elders from another faction coldly chuckled, "I think it's you guys who are feeling guilty like thieves. In recent years, War God Hall has indeed caught many who colluded secretly with the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"That's right, why would the Holy Spirit Cult manage to steal the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell? I believe everyone present here is well aware! Let's not pretend anymore!"
"If you haven't done anything wrong, why fear a thorough investigation by War God Hall?"
This statement immediately intensified the conflict between the two factions!
However, this situation did not last long before they heard a "bang" as the door was violently kicked open...
Immediately after, tens of Soul Masters with a formidable aura rushed in from the door, and leading them was the Vice Hall Master of War God Hall, Guan Yue!
He swept his cold gaze over everyone present and said, "I am Guan Yue, the Vice Hall Master of War God Hall, in charge of purging the traitors within the federation who have colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Currently, we have gathered quite a bit of evidence, and under the Hall Master's orders, I am here to carry out arrests. Please cooperate!"
With these words, many of the federation's high officials panicked...
"You're just the Vice Hall Master of War God Hall, what right do you have to investigate us?"
"That's right, how can we know if the evidence you gathered is real or fake!"
"We are loyal to the federation, does War God Hall need to investigate us? Absolutely ridiculous!"
However, Guan Yue did not engage in a verbal dispute with them, but simply waved his hand and said, "Go!"
The Soul Masters of War God Hall immediately charged forward and easily arrested those who had colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, placing on them the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs!
At a glance, there were as many as a dozen people betraying the federation, essentially equal to a whole faction!!
"Hiss... my heavens, were there so many people assisting the Holy Spirit Cult in stealing the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell?"
"No wonder we didn't discover any traces initially, unexpected... Eh!"
"Thank goodness for War God Hall, after cleaning these parasites from within the federation, such incidents should no longer occur!"
Subsequently, a member of War God Hall respectfully reported to Guan Yue, "Reporting to the Vice Hall Master, those who covertly colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult have been arrested, but they do not match the listed names, initially guessing they have escaped due to fear of crime!"
Guan Yue nodded slightly, signifying his understanding...
He then turned his gaze to the remaining high-level members of the federation and said, "I apologize for the disruption. I will personally escort these criminals to the War God Hall Prison, farewell!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd bowed with fists and said, "Vice Hall Master, take care!"
They did not act as rashly as the other faction, because the Vice Hall Master in front of them was an authentic Ultimate Douluo!!
That's a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Continent!!
With a brief gesture, Guan Yue led the members of War God Hall away from the federation...
