Deputy Pagoda Master Li directly showed his dissatisfaction with Wu Changkong's attitude; this attitude didn't give Senior, the Deputy Tower Master, much face.
"It's not about sheltering; it's just discussing the matter as it is. What happened in the Spirit Ascension Platform should be settled after leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform and cannot be pursued further."
"Your students were simply inferior there; who can you blame for that?"
"To still pursue the matter after leaving the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, isn't that a bit too petty?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li's attitude was just as strong.
Senior saw Shi Yu's talent, so naturally, Senior had to protect him. The other party's attitude also made Senior unwilling to compromise.
"This has nothing to do with being petty. He maliciously robbed and killed first. It's only right for me to seek justice for my students." Wu Changkong didn't feel there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
"You have your reasons, and I have my stance. If there's nothing else, please leave the Spirit Transfer Pagoda." Deputy Pagoda Master Li indicated his intention to see them out.
Continuing like this would just be a pointless argument; there was no need to waste Time.
"I need to get an explanation for my students." Wu Changkong's attitude was strong, and he was unwilling to leave.
"An explanation has already been given, didn't you hear it?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li looked at Wu Changkong with sharp eyes.
Senior was a dignified Soul Douluo, and this was the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, his territory. If Senior was forced to compromise by the other party, could Senior still be this Deputy Tower Master?
"This isn't the attitude I want." Wu Changkong was also fearless; when Senior was stubborn, Senior wouldn't be afraid of anyone.
"What do you mean by this?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li's expression was unfriendly, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Celestial Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu is my Teacher." Just then, Gu Yue suddenly spoke.
"What?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li's expression immediately changed.
Only then did Senior seriously size up Gu Yue. Senior seemed to have heard that Celestial Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu had come to the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda and taken a disciple. Could it be her?
Senior hadn't been in the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda for a while and wasn't very clear about some things, relying on what others mentioned.
Gu Yue temporarily left Tang Wulin, walked over, took out a token, and showed it to Deputy Pagoda Master Li.
This token was given to her by her Teacher, Celestial Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu. It had the words celestial phoenix on it.
"May I examine it closely?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li said cautiously, his tone becoming much more polite.
Gu Yue tossed the token out.
Deputy Pagoda Master Li caught it steadily, confirmed it using the detection method within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and then politely returned the token to Gu Yue.
"So it's the disciple of Celestial Phoenix, my apologies for the disrespect." Deputy Pagoda Master Li's attitude towards Gu Yue suddenly became very respectful.
Although Senior was the Deputy Tower Master of the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda, Senior's status within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda wasn't low.
But compared to Celestial Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, that was far too different.
Celestial Phoenix Douluo's status in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda could rank within the top five, and her personal strength far surpassed Senior's. If she truly wanted to act against Senior, she could almost instantly kill Senior.
Facing the disciple of such an existence, Senior instinctively wanted to lower his stance.
Furthermore, the talent of someone who could be valued by such an existence and taken as a disciple goes without saying. Becoming a Title Douluo in the future was a high probability.
It was also possible for them to hold a high position in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. To make life easier in the future, Senior also had to be more respectful and dare not offend them.
"I want to know who was the one who attacked us in the Spirit Ascension Platform." Gu Yue didn't give Deputy Pagoda Master Li a good look.
"This..." Deputy Pagoda Master Li looked troubled. Before, Senior didn't feel the matter was difficult, but now Senior truly felt a headache.
"If you don't tell me, I can go ask my Teacher." Saying this, Gu Yue took out a communicator.
"Don't." Deputy Pagoda Master Li subconsciously stopped her. If it really escalated to Celestial Phoenix Douluo, the matter could become big.
"Are you still not going to tell me?" Gu Yue spoke coldly.
"He can't leave the Spirit Ascension Chamber right now. After he comes out, I will bring him over to see you." Deputy Pagoda Master Li could only compromise.
However, considering Shi Yu's personal safety, Senior still didn't immediately take them over.
The other party was absorbing a Soul Bone. If Senior took them over now and they forcefully interrupted Shi Yu, it could cause irreversible damage.
"He couldn't be absorbing a Soul Bone in there, could he?" Gu Yue's voice became a few degrees colder.
She had seen that thing clearly before; it was highly likely a Soul Bone.
"Soul Bone?" Wu Changkong hadn't known it was this thing before.
The weak Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan were also startled and felt extremely annoyed. Such a precious item was actually stolen from them; it truly pained their hearts.
"Yes." Deputy Pagoda Master Li had no way to deny it and could only nod.
"That Soul Bone doesn't belong to him, and he shouldn't benefit from it." Gu Yue wanted to go stop him.
If Tang Wulin had absorbed that Soul Bone, she could accept it a little, but she couldn't accept anyone else.
After all, this thing was snatched from their hands. Even if it was destroyed, he shouldn't benefit from it.
"Let's wait a bit. Shi Yu has already joined the Spirit Transfer Pagoda; Senior is one of us. There's no need to be so absolute." Deputy Pagoda Master Li advised.
"Moreover, his parents are both Title Douluo. If you really cause him irreversible damage, it will also be a troublesome matter."
"Even if Senior has Title Douluo backing him, we must demand an explanation for this matter," Wu Changkong said, not afraid.
Gu Yue also nodded. If they didn't get an explanation, she really couldn't calm down.
"Let's talk after he finishes," Deputy Pagoda Master Li could only brace himself and insist.
Gu Yue's attempt to bring up Celestial Phoenix Douluo also didn't make Deputy Pagoda Master Li back down. Senior was afraid of offending Celestial Phoenix Douluo, but Senior also didn't want to offend two unknown Title Douluo because of this.
Especially after witnessing Shi Yu's abilities, one of his parents must possess powerful Space power. If their abilities were similar to Shi Yu's and they were at the Title Douluo realm, the threat might be even greater than Celestial Phoenix Douluo.
It wasn't that Shi Yu's parents' Soul Power realm was necessarily higher than Celestial Phoenix Douluo, but their ability to kill secretly was definitely above Celestial Phoenix Douluo. Senior didn't want to be retaliated against and killed without anyone knowing one day.
Gu Yue ultimately didn't contact Celestial Phoenix Douluo. She didn't really want to act like a child and go complain to find someone to support her.
Using Celestial Phoenix Douluo to deter them appropriately was enough.
They could only wait quietly. They still had to wait for Shi Yu to come out of the Spirit Ascension Chamber before finding trouble with him.
Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin, and others rested inside. Deputy Pagoda Master Li came out, thought for a moment, and decided to report this matter to the Senior Executives at the headquarters.
Shi Yu's talent was outstanding. If something happened to Senior like this, it would be a considerable loss for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
Absorbing a Soul Bone inside the Spirit Transfer Pagoda was relatively fast. Shi Yu completed the absorption in just over an hour.
After finishing, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. With a thought, five sharp claws slowly extended from between the fingers of his right hand.
"If I get another piece for my left hand, I'll directly turn into King Kong," Shi Yu couldn't help but think.
The appearance of my right hand really did look a bit like King Kong's hand; it felt quite cool.
After examining and studying it for a bit, I tried to exit the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Lying in the Spirit Ascension Chamber, Senior slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as I woke up, I felt a slight throbbing pain in my temples and was a bit mentally exhausted.
Pushing open the cabin door and coming out, I simply moved my body around a bit before realizing that Deputy Pagoda Master Li, who had come in with me earlier, was gone.
"I wonder if there will be any subsequent trouble," Shi Yu thought of Tang Wulin and the others.
Killing them in the Spirit Ascension Platform, I wonder if this matter is over, or if there will be follow-ups.
Naturally, Senior didn't want any follow-ups. With less trouble, Senior could also have more Time to do other things.
As for the schemes against Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena themselves, they could only be wishful thinking for now, difficult to truly implement.
