Shi Yu nodded slightly, pondering to himself, thinking this way, he could understand a little better.
Seeing that Shi Yu didn't immediately express his stance and didn't seem very enthusiastic, Deputy Pagoda Master Li began to persuade him, listing various benefits.
Besides getting a lot of Spirit Transfer Pagoda resource support, it could also resolve this trouble, which was a good thing with a hundred benefits and no harm.
"I am willing," Shi Yu no longer hesitated.
"Good, good, good, I'll immediately reply to Pagoda Master Qiangu," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said excitedly. After handling this matter well, Senior could also earn some goodwill from Pagoda Master Qiangu.
"Pagoda Master Qiangu wants to have a video call with you," Deputy Pagoda Master Li quickly prepared the video communicator, waiting for it to connect.
Shi Yu stood a little further away so that his whole body could be in the frame.
Soon the video connected, and Shi Yu saw the dignified and solemn Old man on the other side of the video.
The first time he saw Qiangu Dongfeng, Shi Yu felt a little fearful in his heart. The gaze from the strong made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Even just the gaze on the video was very oppressive, after all, this was an ultimate powerhouse.
"This Qiangu Dongfeng might be much stronger than Mu En," Shi Yu secretly compared in his heart.
The era of Dragon King Legend possessed Dou Armor, which greatly enhanced the strength of Soul Masters.
At the same Soul Power cultivation level, Soul Masters with Dou Armor could almost completely crush Soul Masters without Dou Armor.
The gap at the ultimate level might not be enough for a no-suspense crushing, but the gap was definitely not small.
Even if Mu En's body had no problems, it was unlikely he would be Qiangu Dongfeng's opponent.
This wasn't because he wasn't capable, but because of the technological gap. Soul Masters with Dou Armor had a somewhat dimensionality-reducing strike against Soul Masters without Dou Armor.
"Greetings, Pagoda Master Qiangu," Shi Yu bowed and greeted in a proper manner.
Standing, not kneeling.
Pagoda Master Qiangu on the other side of the video nodded slightly, looked Shi Yu up and down, and then said, "I've seen your abilities, they are very good, they meet my expectations for a disciple."
"Disciple greets Master," Shi Yu was also quick-witted and immediately changed his address.
Qiangu Dongfeng couldn't help but smile. This disciple not only seemed to have high talent but also a quick mind.
"Currently, you can only be considered my provisional disciple. Only after you come to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters and stay for a period of Time can you become a full disciple."
"Although you are only a provisional disciple, I, as your Master, will also resolve the difficulties you are currently facing. You don't need to worry too much," Qiangu Dongfeng said.
"Thank you, Master," Shi Yu said.
"Consider the Soul Bone you absorbed as a meeting gift from your Master," Qiangu Dongfeng mentioned the External Soul Bone.
This meeting gift was somewhat heavy, but the other party had already absorbed it, so Senior had no other way and could only go with the flow.
Senior considered taking Shi Yu as a disciple, partly with the thought of keeping the Soul Bone within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
As long as the person who absorbed the Soul Bone was in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, that Soul Bone was equivalent to still being within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
Shi Yu expressed his gratitude again.
"You resolve the current trouble first. After resolving it, send Shi Yu to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters as soon as possible. I want to meet Senior in person," Qiangu Dongfeng finished speaking and hung up the video call.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see them. Don't worry, with me here, they can't hurt you," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said. With Pagoda Master Qiangu backing him, Senior also became more assertive.
"Okay," Shi Yu nodded and followed Deputy Pagoda Master Li out of the Spirit Ascension Platform room to the lounge where Wu Changkong and the others were.
Seeing Shi Yu enter, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and the others cast angry and unfriendly glances at him.
Wu Changkong looked coldly at Shi Yu, that gaze made Shi Yu feel a strong sense of danger.
"Could this person be Wu Changkong?" Shi Yu guessed in his heart.
He didn't recognize Wu Changkong's face, but the other party had an ice-cold face and gave him no less pressure than Zhao Wuji, with a minimum strength of Soul Saint.
He also had an unusual relationship with Tang Wulin and the others. In East Sea City, the only person he could think of was Wu Changkong.
"Hand over the Soul Bone that belongs to my student," Wu Changkong spoke first, his tone strong.
"That Soul Bone has already been absorbed by Shi Yu, there's no way to hand it over to you. Even if Shi Yu could, Shi Yu wouldn't."
"That was something Shi Yu obtained in the Spirit Ascension Platform based on his strength. What right do you have to demand it?" Shi Yu didn't give the other party a good attitude either.
"How can you be so despicable and shameless? You stole our stuff and still act like it's your right," Xu Xiaoyan said angrily.
After resting for over an hour, Senior had also recovered some energy.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and even Gu Yue were also extremely angry. They had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
"If you say that, then Shi Yu will have to properly reason with you."
"That Soul Bone is something from the Spirit Ascension Platform, and Shi Yu is a Spirit Transfer Pagoda personnel. Three of you are non-Spirit Transfer Pagoda personnel."
"You wanted to take away an extremely precious Soul Bone inside. Shi Yu took action to stop it. Is there a problem with that?"
"It's the same logic as you entering a museum to visit, suddenly wanting to quietly take something away, and Shi Yu stepping forward to stop it."
"You are clearly the ones committing the crime, yet you turn around and accuse Shi Yu. What kind of bandit logic is this?" Shi Yu said sharply.
"That's right. Shi Yu is a Spirit Transfer Pagoda personnel. What's wrong with protecting the things inside the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
"Instead, you attempted to take away the treasures within the Spirit Ascension Platform. Shouldn't you give our East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda an explanation?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li stepped forward to support Shi Yu.
Wu Changkong frowned, not knowing how to retort for a moment. Suddenly, he was at a disadvantage.
"I am also Spirit Transfer Pagoda personnel. If I want to take that Soul Bone, does that count as stealing treasure?" Gu Yue questioned coldly.
"But that Soul Bone is not in your hands. Since that's the case, Shi Yu should protect the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's property," Shi Yu responded indifferently.
"That's the logic," Deputy Pagoda Master Li was like someone adding fuel to the fire.
"Sophistry," Gu Yue's voice carried suppressed anger.
"Everything Shi Yu said is the truth, and his actions followed the rules. Instead, the three of you attempted to snatch treasures from the Spirit Ascension Platform. Shouldn't you give our Spirit Transfer Pagoda an explanation?" Shi Yu turned the tables and looked at Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan.
Gu Yue was Spirit Transfer Pagoda personnel, so Senior couldn't easily find a reason to make things difficult for her, but the other three were different.
Deputy Pagoda Master Li also smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Those who enter the Spirit Ascension Platform can normally kill Soul Beasts to gain energy and improve themselves, but there is no explicit rule stating that you can also take other things away."
"Your previous actions clearly showed that you wanted to take away the Soul Bone treasure, maliciously stealing the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's property. You must give us an explanation for this." Tang Wulin and the others' expressions changed slightly, Gu Yue's face turned ugly, and Wu Changkong's expression also sank.
They were furious now. The other party was spouting nonsense and distorting the facts, making them not only unable to vent their anger but also being deliberately difficult. What kind of situation was this?
"Deputy Pagoda Master Li, are you trying to make my Teacher come and reason with you?" Gu Yue looked coldly at Deputy Pagoda Master Li. This person hadn't been this assertive before.
"I think there's no need to trouble Celestial Phoenix Your Excellency. Pagoda Master Qiangu will communicate with Celestial Phoenix Your Excellency," Deputy Pagoda Master Li still responded courteously.
However, his attitude didn't soften. With Pagoda Master Qiangu backing him, Senior wouldn't be easily intimidated anymore.
Gu Yue frowned. The Pagoda Master Qiangu mentioned by the other party might be the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Head Tower Master, whose status was even above her Teacher's.
"Leaving aside the matter of snatching the Soul Bone for now, you must give me an explanation for killing my disciples," Wu Changkong changed the subject.
Senior was angry about two things: first, Tang Wulin and their Soul Bone was snatched, and second, they were maliciously killed by Shi Yu inside.
"Are you out of your mind? Shi Yu already said that Shi Yu took action out of protection for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's property. What explanation do you still need?"
"Have you ever seen a police officer take action against a criminal and then be demanded an explanation by the criminal?" Shi Yu also didn't stand on ceremony with the other party and spoke quite directly.
