Chapter 879: Qiangu Dongfeng (2/2)
A tall and broad middle-aged man stood on the other side of the desk. He had a set of handsome facial features with a p.r.o.nounced nose, but a pair of rather small eyes. There was a powerful aura emanating from his body.
His brows were tightly furrowed at the sight of the distraught and furious Leng Yaozhu. ”Calm down, Yaozhu. Everything happened far too abruptly, and I have no idea what the situation is like, either. A thorough investigation will have to be launched before we learn what's truly happened.”
”Do you think I'm a naive little child, Qiangu Dongfeng? Do you think I don't know what kind of man you are? No matter how powerful the Holy Spirit Cult is, there's no way they could've gotten their hands on G.o.dslayer missiles! There's no way they could've snuck all of those soul missiles into Shrek City unless you gave them your a.s.sistance! It was you, wasn't it?”
Leng Yaozhu stabbed a finger directly at Qiangu Dongfeng as she spoke. The man standing before her was the chairman of the Spirit PaG.o.da, a powerful being who ranked alongside Atlas Douluo Yun Ming.
Qiangu Dongfeng's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this. ”Yaozhu, you're the vice-chairman of our Spirit PaG.o.da; how could you accuse me of something like this? Have you forgotten that the founder of our Spirit PaG.o.da, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, was once one of Shrek's Seven Monsters? Our Spirit PaG.o.da has no direct conflict with Shrek Academy; why would I plot against them? Besides, just because I'm the chairman doesn't mean I get to call all the shots.”
His tone became a little softer as he continued, ”Yaozhu, this incident has taken place far too abruptly, and even I'm still reeling in its aftermath. Who could've possibly predicted that the Holy Spirit Cult would already be brazen enough to attack Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters? Do you think it benefits me in any way to see the Holy Spirit Cult become more powerful? What we should be doing now is contributing as much as we can to the rebuild effort and to track down the Holy Spirit Cult. I know that Yun Ming's death has dealt you a heavy blow, and I'm also very sad to see him pa.s.s. However, we must remain calm in the face of this calamity.”
”Remain calm? How do you expect me to remain calm?” Leng Yaozhu's aura was fluctuating violently as she threatened, ”Qiangu Dongfeng, don't let me find out that you were behind this. Otherwise, I'll kill you even if it means giving my own life!”
After that, she departed from the room, leaving Qiangu Dongfeng standing alone with a thunderous expression on his face.
He looked on as Leng Yaozhu departed, and of course, he was well aware of why she would suspect him of foul play here. He had pursued Leng Yaozhu for many years in the past, but she simply couldn't get over Yun Ming. Even after Yun Ming married Yali, she still couldn't forget him, and she refrained from getting married for her entire life.
During these past years, the Spirit PaG.o.da and Shrek Academy had been steadily growing apart, not least due to the complex love-triangle relations.h.i.+p between the three of them.
”Chairman.” A side door was opened, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance walked quickly into the room. Despite his mundane looks, there was a sharp aura about him.
”Give me the breakdown.”
”Shrek Academy was completely destroyed with no survivors. Our sources have gathered that Shrek's Seven Monsters were also in the academy at the time. In the end, Yun Ming broke his own demiG.o.d berth and temporarily attained the power of a G.o.d to nullify the destructive power of the two G.o.dslayer missiles, thereby saving around half of the population of Shrek City. However, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters were situated at the epicenters of the explosions, and there were no survivors from them. They even launched another ninth-grade soul missile toward Shrek Academy after the event to kill any remaining survivors. However, the Holy Spirit Cult also suffered quite severely during this attack.
”In order to detonate those two G.o.dslayer missiles, they sacrificed close to 20 of their Soul Douluos and also hundreds of the intermediate evil Soul Masters. Prior to Yun Ming's death, he destroyed their Armageddon Skull, and aside from the master of the Holy Spirit Cult, who managed to get away, eight of their t.i.tled Douluos were killed. That's definitely a significant setback for them.”
Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes narrowed slightly as a pleased look appeared on his face. ”Very good! As expected, Yun Ming really hasn't disappointed me. The Holy Spirit Cult has been in hiding for 10,000 years and acc.u.mulated so much power, yet they still paid such a heavy price even though they'd been plotting against Shrek Academy for so long. Both sides have been paid dearly during this incident; this is the best outcome for us. We should take advantage of this opportunity to make our presence felt. With the destruction of Shrek City, the entire parliament is definitely going to be forced into liquidation. We need to step in and strive to secure as many parliamentary spots as we can.”
”Your wisdom is truly unmatched, Chairman! You've killed many birds with one stone here,” the middle-aged man praised with admiration in his eyes.
Qiangu Dongfeng turned to him with a cold expression. ”What do you mean I killed many birds with one stone? We didn't do anything here. I'm also extremely sad and shocked that Shrek City has fallen under such tragic circ.u.mstances.”
The middle-aged man immediately gave a knowing nod as he said, ”Indeed, we express our deepest condolences to Shrek Academy.”
”Alright, you may go now. I'm going to release an order to the entire Spirit PaG.o.da to hunt down all evil Soul Masters; you know what to do. Remember not to leave any evidence that can be used as leverage against us, and also, get someone to track Vice-chairman Leng so she doesn't do anything foolish.”
”Yes.”
The middle-aged man departed, and Qiangu Dongfeng made his way over to the window, casting his gaze toward the white clouds outside with his eyes narrowed in contemplation.
