Soul Beast Captivity Project?

"This..."

As she listened to Qiangu Dongfeng's impassioned speech, Gu Yuena was reluctant, but she could not refuse outright. She could only turn her gaze toward her teacher, hoping she would speak up for her.

Leng Yaozhu had already become estranged from Qiangu Dongfeng over Yun Ming. Seeing her disciple's pleading gaze, she immediately slammed her hand onto the table. Her icy eyes shot straight at Qiangu Dongfeng.

"Qiangu Dongfeng! Stop using those high-sounding words to pressure Na'er! Marriage is no trifling matter! She is my, Leng Yaozhu's, disciple. Even as the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, you have no right to interfere in a Spirit Envoy's lifelong affairs!"

"I absolutely will not agree to this. If you want to hold a Matchmaking Tournament, find someone else."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. Qiangu Dongfeng's clenched knuckles faintly whitened, but he forcibly suppressed his anger and softened his tone as much as possible. "Yaozhu, I am not forcing her. I am merely discussing it with Na'er. This proposal would benefit both her reputation and the Spirit Pagoda's development..."

"Benefit?" Leng Yaozhu sneered. "Don't even think about it. In any case, I will never agree to this. Since when has our Spirit Pagoda fallen so low that it needs such crooked means to develop?"

"Whether it is the release of Artificial Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits or the soon-to-be-completed Ten Thousand Beast Platform, which of these is not a great undertaking that will benefit future generations? Why would we need to sacrifice Na'er's happiness just to gain fame?"

It was precisely because Artificial Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits were being released and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was nearing completion that he wanted to hold this Martial Arts Marriage Tournament!

A trace of gloom flashed through Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes. There was no denying
