Chapter 1772 - 1757: The Entire Da Family
"Speak up, are you all dead men? Not a single method to break it, are you all useless?" Accumulating seven days of nameless fire and pent-up anger, the Hall Master Bi Ze, roared hysterically.
"Ah, speak up, are you all useless?"
After Hall Master Bi Ze’s hysterical roar, the main hall of the War Soul Hall fell into a deathly silence.
Neither the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo nor the Sun Priests, nor those core Moon Priests led by Sima Yan, said a word.
After the roar, Bi Ze stared hard at everyone present, suddenly noticing a hint of resentment in the expressions of several Sun Priests, his eyes full of displeasure.
That displeased look was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, instantly waking the extremely angry Bi Ze up.
This matter, seemingly, it’s hard to blame them.
Don’t say them, even he, the Hall Master, is helpless.
Slowly sitting back in his chair, Bi Ze let out a heavy breath, his voice softening.
"I was a bit anxious, thus vented my nameless fire, please, everyone, forgive me a bit."
The Hall Master’s initiative to admit fault made the Sun Priests and Moon Priests below unable to stand, each quickly saying it’s fine, everyone understands.
Know that the power base of War Soul Hall Master Bi Ze is precisely these Sun Priests and core Moon Priests in front of him; without their support, he as Hall Master would soon be empty.
"Thank you all for your understanding. However, this situation must change soon. If we’re continually blocked by Ye Zhen, not only will the operations of War Soul Hall be disrupted, leading to huge losses,
but our War Soul Hall priests walking outside might face countless cold stares, and our reputation would be utterly trampled, becoming a laughingstock within the Ancestor God Temple."
"At this moment, whatever suggestions or ideas you have, feel free to speak. No matter the quality of these suggestions or ideas, I won’t blame anyone!" Hall Master Bi Ze’s voice was extremely sincere.
Perhaps Bi Ze’s sincere tone gave the people present courage, or maybe the matter of War Soul Hall being blocked had really reached a critical point, as someone quickly spoke up.
"Hall Master, since Ye Zhen has already made our War Soul Hall unable to operate normally, and Barbarian Spirit Hall Master Ji Changle is being unreasonable.
Then we might as well organize experts to charge, and either expel or besiege the Ye person in the shortest time possible. After all, we in War Soul Hall have the reason." The Second Deputy Hall Master of War Soul Hall spoke.
Hall Master Bi Ze considered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Not appropriate!"
"Ye Zhen’s speed is extremely fast, few people won’t do. Too many not only gives a pretext, but our War Soul Hall cannot afford that reputation."
"Also, if Ji Changle is hidden nearby, should she join the fray, given her status, she’d be a hedgehog, impossible to deal with."
"Hall Master, if we want to get rid of Ye Zhen, we can only do it openly. This method is absolutely unacceptable! Otherwise, should Ye Zhen not die and Barbarian Spirit Hall Master Ji Changle goes mad, who will deal with that?
Besides, unless deploying two or even more than three Sun Priests, otherwise, not even many Moon Priests could eliminate Ye Zhen in a short time." The Third Deputy Hall Master spoke.
"If my method is not good, you suggest a better one." The First Deputy Hall Master expressed dissatisfaction.
"Uh..." The Third Deputy Hall Master paused, then said, "Why don’t we seek Tong Daquan Priest, have him scold Barbarian Spirit Hall and the major branch halls, tell those priests not to watch anymore, and have Ye Zhen stop causing trouble?"
"It’s easy with other branch halls, but the folks from Barbarian Spirit Hall, they can embarrass Tong Daquan Priest directly, his reprimand likely won’t work?" The First Deputy Hall Master said.
Beside him, Hall Master Bi Ze could only smile bitterly, "Tong Daquan Priest, don’t bother thinking, I’ve already sought him out, no use!"
In fact, Tongg Na wished to help War Soul Hall, but just like the First Deputy Hall Master said, it’s useless, moreover, for such petty matters, Tong Daquan Priest is not inclined to intervene.
According to Tong Daquan Priest’s words, if they had the ability to deal with Ye Zhen, he’d definitely support them.
But for this matter, having him intervening as a great priest, the War Soul Hall can lay down the face, but he Tongg Na cannot.
After all, Ye Zhen had made it clear, cultivation at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm...
The War Soul Hall, a great upper hall within the Ancestor God Temple, blocked by a Sky Priest of the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, telling it aloud...
Suddenly, the silent until now Left Chief Priest Xii Mo spoke up, "Hall Master, actually this matter, if really speaking, it’s easy to handle."
"Oh, how do you say?"
"This affair mainly stems from Ye Zhen, if Ye Zhen disappears, then our War Soul Hall dilemma would naturally resolve." Xii Mo said.
Bi Ze froze, "Xii Mo, what do you mean?"
Xii Mo suddenly cast a cold gaze at those gathered, then made a throat-cutting gesture, "Send experts over, assassinate!"
Gasp!
The sound of drawing a cold breath echoed.
It’s not that those present had never engaged in assassination, but using such a means on priests within the same Ancestor God Temple was somewhat shocking.
At least for now, Ye Zhen’s actions had been quite restrained.
"Assassination?"
Bi Ze’s brow furrowed, "If you were to go, how confident are you?"
"This..." Xii Mo hesitated, "If it’s outside the Ancestor God Temple, at least eighty percent! If it’s inside, especially within the Barbarian Spirit Hall, no more than fifty percent, maybe even less!"
After contemplating for a few moments, Bi Ze shook his head again, "Not even fifty percent certainty, no, the risk is too great! If the plan fails, we’re all doomed."
Assassination, that is a completely different nature, and extremely vile!
"Is there any other way?" Bi Ze pressed on.
Inside the hall of the War Soul Hall, silence descended once more.
The gaze of Hall Master Bi Ze swept over the core Sun Priests and Moon Priests, but none of them offered any suggestions.
Just as Bi Ze was feeling disappointed, a Sun Priest Qin Lie, who was usually devoted to cultivation, suddenly spoke, "Actually, the cause of this matter should be our War Soul Hall making things difficult for Ye Zhen, refusing to rent the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to him.
I just don’t understand, why can we rent it to others but deliberately make it difficult for Ye Zhen, thus creating a formidable enemy for our War Soul Hall?
The avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, who uses it doesn’t matter? After all, everyone belongs to the Ancestor God Temple, why must we specifically make things difficult for Ye Zhen?
I really think that renting the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to Ye Zhen would solve the problem."
"No, no!"
"We absolutely cannot rent the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to Ye Zhen, if we do so now, wouldn’t it mean that we at the War God Temple are yielding and bowing down?"
"Exactly, absolutely not, otherwise, how do we maintain our dignity at the War Soul Hall?"
As soon as Qin Lie’s voice fell, a chorus of opposition followed.
Qin Lie rolled his eyes dramatically, "You can’t come up with a solution, I provided a solution, but you all say this and that won’t work, so tell me, what method will solve the current predicament."
The priests were all at a loss for constructive ideas.
"Regardless of whether we have a solution or not, renting the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to Ye Zhen won’t be mentioned again.
If we do that, not only will we lose face at the War Soul Hall, but we will also be mocked as spineless!" Left Chief Priest Xii Mo stubbornly insisted.
Watching this scene, Hall Master Bi Ze smiled bitterly, and sincerely admitted that the suggestion from Sun Priest Qin Lie was actually the best method.
But as Left Chief Priest Xii Mo said, if they did that, their War Soul Hall would not only lose face but be ridiculed as spineless.
Just as everyone was at their wit’s end, a stream of light suddenly swept into the War Soul Hall from the outside, speaking in an almost relieved tone, "Fortunately, I arrived a step earlier than Ye Zhen, or I would have been blocked at the door by him."
The newcomer was none other than Right Chief Priest Dalantai, who had gone out to handle matters overnight.
Dalantai’s seemingly relieved words left the high-ranking members of the War Soul Hall suddenly feeling exceedingly stifled.
This is their War Soul Hall.
Now, even the Right Chief Priest returning to the hall has to time it well; otherwise, if he’s late and gets blocked by Ye Zhen, he’d be reprimanded again.
What a sorrow it is.
Hall Master Bi Ze felt even more dejected, wondering when their War Soul Hall, one of the top five Upper Halls in the Ancestor God Temple in combat power, ended up in such a state?
Even returning to their own hall required careful timing, having to return before dawn to avoid Ye Zhen.
This is simply....
Reflecting upon this, Bi Ze’s chest felt a tightening discomfort.
However, the rushing Right Chief Priest Dalantai did not notice this, first expressing his apologies for being late to Hall Master Bi Ze.
Then, with a sad face, he looked at his colleagues around the hall, seemingly hesitant.
This appearance gave Hall Master Bi Ze some insight, for Dalantai was his confidant, and Bi Ze couldn’t ignore it, "Anxiously inquired, Dalantai, have you encountered any troubles?"
Dalantai hesitated again, suddenly kneeling on one knee in front of Hall Master Bi Ze.
This scene stunned the high-ranking members of the War Soul Hall, as the kneeling ceremony was abolished above the rank of Sky Priest within the Ancestor God Temple.
Especially for someone like Dalantai, who held a high position as a Moon Priest and confidant, kneeling before Hall Master Bi Ze signified that something major had happened.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Dalantai spoke.
"Hall Master, I know that our War Soul Hall is facing a turbulent time, but this time, I truly encountered a difficulty, unable to find anyone else for help, I can only turn to you, Hall Master."
Please, Hall Master, save my entire Da Clan, henceforth, I will repay you with utmost loyalty!" Dalantai was filled with sorrow and anguish.
"Your entire Da Clan?" Bi Ze was taken aback, hurriedly stepping forward to support Dalantai, "Tell me what happened, as long as I can contribute, I certainly will!"
