Chapter 1766 - 1751: Attacking on Multiple Fronts
Inside the War Soul Hall, the Hall Master Bi Ze wore a somber expression. The War Soul Hall’s Left Chief Priest Xii Mo and Right Chief Priest Dalantai, along with the recently injured and defeated Moon Priest Sima Yan and Pi Zhilong, as well as several current Sun Sacrifices and core personnel in attendance, all appeared grave.
"What do you think, if Ye Zhen comes knocking again tomorrow and blocks our War Soul Hall’s gate, how should we respond?" Bi Ze asked helplessly.
Initially, Bi Ze thought Ye Zhen came today merely to vent his anger, taking out his frustrations on their War Soul Hall.
After all, Ye Zhen was too powerful and their War Soul Hall was simply not up to par.
The humiliation today was something Bi Ze could only swallow.
However, denying Ye Zhen the lease of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal’s avatar sparked a fierce anger in Ye Zhen, which surprised Bi Ze.
But the angrier Ye Zhen got, the more it showed that their actions were justified.
From this perspective, the War Soul Hall lost face, but Ye Zhen actually lost in substance.
However, the words Ye Zhen spoke when they shut the gates frightened Bi Ze.
Especially since Ye Zhen was going to send a mysterious gift of fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones, ensuring that tomorrow the onlookers would certainly multiply.
In other words, Ye Zhen wasn’t joking when he said that.
They could handle being humiliated once, maybe twice, but three times they would really be seen as cowards.
Moreover, beneath the War Soul Hall are millions of priests, whose branch altars and various hall properties affect tens of millions.
Daily affairs have to be handled by the War Soul Hall, with countless cooperation and transactions occurring each day.
Closing the hall for a day is already troublesome; if it happens again tomorrow, they can still manage.
But if it happens every day?
Even if it’s not every day, if it disrupts things for half a month, the War Soul Hall would be in chaos.
That was precisely what the Hall Master Bi Ze was worried about.
"Coming every day to block our War Soul Hall’s gate - he wouldn’t dare, would he?" the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo expressed.
The Right Chief Priest Dalantai, however, offered a wry smile, "You may not have scrutinized Ye Zhen thoroughly. Just now, I urgently gathered detailed information about this guy, and found he’s quite the daring character.
Not to mention his recent bold confrontation with the Second and Seventh Grand Power Sacrifices, he’s even smashed the West Patrol’s government office and beat up Prince Ji Yuan’s son.
Besides, even the figures like the Heavenly Temple Moon Hall Master Baili Fei, whom we can’t deal with, have no way to handle Ye Zhen.
I think it’s quite possible Ye Zhen will come tomorrow!"
"He might come tomorrow..." Sima Yan felt a bit lost, a bit ashamed, but also resigned.
Having already attempted War Soul Possession, yet being unable to deal with Ye Zhen, who among the entire group of Moon Sacrifices remains a match for Ye Zhen?
"If he really dares to come blocking the gate again, that would be different!" Left Chief Priest Xii Mo suddenly spoke.
Everyone’s gaze fixed on Left Chief Priest Xii Mo.
The War Soul Hall is quite powerful, so the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo’s cultivation had long since broken into the Dao Realm.
"Today, Ye Zhen challenged according to the rule within our Ancestor God Temple that priests may mutually challenge one another in contests.
Thus, for the sake of face and regulation, our War Soul Hall had to restrain itself, dispatching only Moon Sacrifices of the Realm King Realm.
But if Ye Zhen repeatedly interferes with our War Soul Hall’s operations, the nature of it changes.
Then, we can confidently dispatch Dao Realm Sun Sacrifice to give Ye Zhen a severe lesson! At that time, no one could challenge our reasoning," Xii Mo said.
"Indeed, that’s true."
The Hall Master Bi Ze slowly nodded, "But the honor of our War Soul Hall in the end...."
"Hall Master, if you want to vent your anger, then we can have the Sun Sacrifice fight ruthlessly in secret. Even if we don’t kill Ye Zhen on the spot, we can ensure his cultivation is completely ruined!" Left Chief Priest Xii Mo said venomously.
Hearing this, the Hall Master Bi Ze slowly nodded, tacitly approving Left Chief Priest Xii Mo’s plan.
"We can go hard on him, but we mustn’t give room for criticism. We’ll let him be arrogant for one more day, and if Ye Zhen comes again tomorrow, we’ll just close the gates.
Additionally, we’ll send a formal letter to the Barbarian Spirit Hall Master Ji Changle about this, asking her to restrain Ye Zhen," Bi Ze said.
Sima Yan furrowed his brow, "Hall Master, letting the Barbarian Spirit Hall Master intervene probably won’t have much effect, right?"
"Of course, it won’t have much effect!"
But Left Chief Priest Xii Mo explained on behalf of Hall Master Bi Ze, "The Hall Master is merely laying the groundwork by sending the letter, preventing any criticism later on.
When the time comes, even if we ruin Ye Zhen, with this letter, Ji Changle would be left speechless!"
"It’s called making sure no one can say we didn’t warn them!" Right Chief Priest Dalantai looked towards Bi Ze, "That’s truly wise of the Hall Master!"
"The Hall Master is wise!"
"The Hall Master is brilliant!"
As praises echoed, the War Soul Hall’s high-ranking officials concluded this strategic meeting focused on Ye Zhen.
Meanwhile, outside the War Soul Hall, Ye Zhen stood with his arms crossed, ready to confront anyone from the War Soul Hall or priests coming for business.
From Moon Sacrifice to Sky Priest, he blocked them all for challenges.
If they chose to concede and avoid battle, Ye Zhen accepted it, but asked them to leave - as long as Ye Zhen was there, they couldn’t enter the War Soul Hall.
For those wishing to enter after conceding, apologies, but they had to accept Ye Zhen’s challenge to enter the War Soul Hall.
When the battle began, Ye Zhen would ensure they absolutely couldn’t enter the War Soul Hall today.
Though most of the curious priests left, there were those coming and going, as well as those passing by; the number of onlookers remained above ten thousand.
Since Ye Zhen had set his strategy, he would stick with it until dusk when lights turned on.
Many priests coming for business or to handle affairs unexpectedly found Ye Zhen blocking them, with many ignorant of Ye Zhen’s capabilities.
By the end of the day, Ye Zhen had defeated a total of one hundred forty-one War Soul Hall priests.
Thus, the banner beneath Ye Zhen’s flag now showed a consecutive loss of one hundred forty-one.
Staying until midnight, when the number of spectators dwindled to mainly Barbarian Spirit Hall priests, and with the lights inside the War Soul Hall mostly dimmed, Ye Zhen finally departed.
However, Ye Zhen did not return to the Barbarian Spirit Hall, choosing to leave the Ancestor God Temple directly.
Ye Zhen wasn’t naive enough to believe merely blocking the War Soul Hall’s gates would pressure them into relenting and leasing him the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal’s avatar again.
That was simply impossible!
Ye Zhen needed more than just this tactic to force the War Soul Hall into yielding.
Ye Zhen had to approach this from multiple angles!
