I'm the Pagoda Master!!! You'll Regret This

The leader of the team that discovered the body was a shrewd man. He knew that this matter had far exceeded their ability to intervene.

He made a decisive move, leading his team to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, and at the same time, reported the news immediately.

The message, as if it had sprouted wings, spread swiftly throughout the entire Federation.

The members of the Long Clan were killed in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The murderer was none other than Bai Yushan, the boy who had caused such a stir in the past six months.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Upon learning the news and confirming Long Chiyu's identity, the Sun and Sun Moon Federation reacted without hesitation.

The Federation Supreme Council swiftly passed a resolution listing Bai Yushan as a Class Federation wanted criminal.

The arrest warrant was issued in every city and town of the Federation.

This time, the Federation's attitude was extremely tough. They completely ignored the Leng Clan's condemnation and pressure, and turned a deaf ear to the Leng Clan's objections.

The anger of the Long Clan and the attitude of the War God Temple led the Federation's high-ranking officials to choose to stand on the side of the Long Clan without hesitation.

During this turmoil, the Spirit Pagoda remained silent and took no action.

They neither endorsed the Federation arrest warrant nor stood up to say a word in Bai Yushan.

This silence itself says a lot.

Shrek City.

The Spirit Pagoda, upper council chamber.

"Bang--!!!"

A loud bang echoed throughout the council chamber.

Leng Yaozhu slammed her palm hard onto the long table in front of her. The table, made of precious wood, shattered with a crack, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

She stood up, her long, fiery red hair flying behind her, and her crimson-gold eyes burning with fury.

She stared intently at Qiangu Dongfeng, who sat in the main seat, her chest heaving violently.

"Why?!"

Her voice was cold and angry, "Why didn't you issue the announcement with me?! That's a slander against my disciple!"

"Everyone knows how Long Chiyu died. He was simply greedy and insatiable, ultimately defeated and killed by a counterattack when his skills were inferior. My disciple, on the other hand, was relentlessly pursued and driven to the brink of death before he was forced to fight back!"

"The Federation is now turning black into white and issuing arrest warrants, and you're all turning a deaf ear. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Qiangu Dongfeng sat in the main seat, looking at Leng Yaozhu, who resembled an enraged phoenix, his face gloomy and his mood not good.

He has been in love with Leng Yaozhu for many years.

This woman was the most beautiful woman in the Spirit Pagoda, and the one he most desired.

He was usually very tolerant of her and always gave in to her.

But now, for the sake of a disciple she's only taken under her wing for a little over a year, she actually dares to contradict me like this in the council hall, in front of so many people.

This stirred a strong sense of displeasure in Qiangu Dongfeng's heart.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone else in the council chamber to leave.

Soon, only the two of them remained in the large council hall.

Qiangu Dongfeng then spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of suppressed impatience.

"Yaozhu, calm down first."

"I think you should prioritize the bigger picture in this matter."

"The bigger picture?"

Leng Yaozhu sneered as if she had heard a joke, "What nonsense about the big picture!"

She glared at him coldly, taking a step forward with an imposing aura, "The War God Temple, or the Long Clan, what exactly did they give you?! That you would stand by and watch my disciple be smeared and wanted throughout the entire Federation?!"

"Let me tell you, Qiangu Dongfeng, Bai Yushan is my disciple, Leng Yaozhu. I will never let this matter rest!"

Qiangu Dongfeng's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Why don't you understand?

He said in a deep voice, "Long Chiyu is a member of the Long Clan, and Long Tianwu was the Second War God of the War God Temple. Now that they are dead, both the Long Clan and the War God Temple are watching this matter closely. The Federation Council has already passed a resolution."

"Why should our Spirit Pagoda fight against the Long Clan, the War God Temple, and even the entire Federation for the sake of a Three-Ring Soul Elder?"

"Is it worth risking the entire Spirit Pagoda's interests for a disciple who hasn't even matured yet?"

"In your eyes, he's just a disciple."

Leng Yaozhu's gaze was as cold as a knife. "But in my eyes, he is the one I've chosen."

"He became my disciple and a member of the Spirit Pagoda, so we have a responsibility to protect him. Now that he's in trouble, instead of helping him, the pagoda is kicking him while he's down. Is this what you call the bigger picture?"

"I think you're becoming more and more pathetic as the tower master!"

Qiangu Dongfeng's face instantly darkened.

"Watch your mouth."

His voice turned colder. "I'm acting in the best interests of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Overall interests?"

Leng Yaozhu sneered, her eyes full of mockery, "That sounds nice. Look at Yun Ming, a member of the Shrek Academy. He protects his disciples without hesitation, and even with just one disciple, he dares to challenge the entire world."

"Let me look at you again."

"As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, a renowned Limit Douluo, you don't even have the courage to speak a word for your own people."

"I was so blind to think you were capable of great things! I agree to let you take over as the tower master."

Yun Ming.

These two words, like a red-hot branding iron, were fiercely seared into the heart of the Qiangu Dongfeng.

What he hates most is being compared to Yun Ming.

Even more taboo is that these words came from Leng Yaozhu's mouth.

He had pursued Leng Yaozhu for so many years, but this woman's gaze had never truly fallen upon him.

Now, she actually used Yun Ming to mock him in front of him, elevating others while belittling herself.

A surge of anger suddenly erupted from the depths of Qiangu Dongfeng's heart.

His face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Enough!!!"

Qiangu Dongfeng slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly!

A terrifying pressure of Soul Power erupted from his body, causing the entire council hall to tremble slightly under its influence.

He stared intently at Leng Yaozhu, his eyes bloodshot, like an angry Lion.

"I am the tower master!!!"

His roar was deafening, "I'm the one who decides this!"

"The Spirit Pagoda won't make an enemy of the entire Federation for the sake of a mere Bai Yushan. If you dare to cause any more trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Leng Yaozhu met his furious gaze without flinching.

She simply glared at him fiercely, her crimson-gold eyes filled with disappointment and coldness.

You'll regret it.

She spoke each word slowly and deliberately, her voice as cold as ice, "Qiangu Dongfeng, how you treat me, Xiaoshan Shan, today will one day cost you the price for your choices."

Having said that, she didn't look at Qiangu Dongfeng again, abruptly flicked her sleeves, and turned to leave.
