King of Creation Chapter 1766 - 1751: Attacking on Multiple Fronts

Within the solemn War Soul Hall, the Hall Master Bi Ze displayed a grave countenance. In attendance were the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo and the Right Chief Priest Dalantai, alongside the recently defeated and injured Moon Priest Sima Yan and Pi Zhilong. Several Sun Sacrifices and other key personnel also appeared deeply worried.

"What is your assessment? Should Ye Zhen confront us again tomorrow, blocking our War Soul Hall's entrance, how shall we proceed?" Bi Ze inquired with a sense of helplessness.

Initially, Bi Ze had presumed Ye Zhen's visit today was merely an outburst of his temper, taking out his frustrations upon the War Soul Hall.

After all, Ye Zhen possessed overwhelming power, and their War Soul Hall was simply outmatched.

The humiliation suffered today was a bitter pill Bi Ze had to swallow.

However, the refusal to grant Ye Zhen access to the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal's avatar had ignited a potent fury within him, a reaction that caught Bi Ze by surprise.

Yet, Ye Zhen's escalating anger paradoxically affirmed the righteousness of their decision. From that viewpoint, while the War Soul Hall incurred a loss of face, Ye Zhen suffered a more substantial defeat.

Nevertheless, the parting words Ye Zhen uttered as the gates were shut instilled significant apprehension in Bi Ze.

This was especially true considering Ye Zhen's declared intent to present a mysterious gift of fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones, a move guaranteed to vastly increase the number of onlookers tomorrow.

In essence, Ye Zhen's pronouncements were not idle threats.

They could endure one instance of public humiliation, perhaps even two, but a third would undeniably brand them as utter cowards.

Furthermore, beneath the War Soul Hall were millions of priests, with branch altars and various hall properties impacting tens of millions of individuals.

The daily operations necessitated the War Soul Hall's involvement, involving countless collaborations and transactions each day.

Closing the hall for a single day presented difficulties; a repeat occurrence tomorrow could still be managed.

But what if such disruptions persisted daily?

Even short of daily closures, if the operations were hindered for half a month, the War Soul Hall would descend into utter chaos.

This dire prospect was precisely what troubled Hall Master Bi Ze.

"He wouldn’t dare, would he? To show up every day and block the War Soul Hall's gate?" the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo voiced, his tone laced with disbelief.

The Right Chief Priest Dalantai, however, responded with a wry smile. "You likely haven't fully grasped Ye Zhen's character. I've just managed to hastily collect detailed intel on this individual, and it reveals him to be remarkably audacious.

Apart from his recent brazen confrontations with the Second and Seventh Grand Power Sacrifices, he has also decimated the West Patrol's government office and physically assaulted Prince Ji Yuan's son.

Moreover, even formidable figures like the Heavenly Temple Moon Hall Master Baili Fei, whom we find ourselves unable to contend with, are powerless against Ye Zhen. I suspect there's a significant possibility Ye Zhen will indeed appear tomorrow!"

"He might indeed come tomorrow..." Sima Yan murmured, a sense of bewilderment, tinged with shame and resignation, settling upon him.

Having already attempted War Soul Possession without success against Ye Zhen, who among the Moon Sacrifices could possibly match him now?

"If he truly dares to block the gate again, then the situation changes!" the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo suddenly stated.

All eyes shifted to the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo.

Given the formidable standing of the War Soul Hall, the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo's cultivation had long surpassed the Realm King Realm, having entered the Dao Realm.

"Today, Ye Zhen issued a challenge in accordance with the established rules within our Ancestor God Temple, which permit mutual challenges amongst priests. Hence, to uphold face and regulations, our War Soul Hall was compelled to exercise restraint, deploying only Moon Sacrifices from the Realm King Realm.

However, should Ye Zhen repeatedly disrupt the operations of our War Soul Hall, the nature of his actions fundamentally alters. In such a scenario, we would be fully justified in dispatching a Dao Realm Sun Sacrifice to deliver a stern lesson to Ye Zhen! No one would be able to question our reasoning then," Xii Mo elaborated.

"Indeed, that is a valid point."

Hall Master Bi Ze slowly nodded. "However, the honor of our War Soul Hall ultimately..."

"Hall Master, if your desire is to exact retribution, then we can instruct the Sun Sacrifice to engage him ruthlessly in secret. Even if we do not eliminate Ye Zhen on the spot, we can guarantee the complete annihilation of his cultivation!" Left Chief Priest Xii Mo declared with palpable venom.

Upon hearing this, Hall Master Bi Ze offered a slow nod, tacitly endorsing Left Chief Priest Xii Mo's clandestine scheme.

"We can proceed with forceful measures, but we must ensure no grounds for external criticism arise. Let him revel in his arrogance for one more day. If Ye Zhen reappears tomorrow, we shall simply keep the gates shut. Furthermore, we will transmit a formal communiqué to the Barbarian Spirit Hall Master, Ji Changle, requesting her intervention to curb Ye Zhen's actions," Bi Ze decreed.

Sima Yan knitted his brows. "Hall Master, enlisting the Barbarian Spirit Hall Master's assistance might not yield significant results, would it?"

"Naturally, it will have little to no effect!"

Nevertheless, Left Chief Priest Xii Mo offered an explanation on behalf of Hall Master Bi Ze, stating, "The Hall Master is merely pre-emptively laying groundwork with this letter, thereby preventing any potential criticism down the line.

When the moment arrives, even if we manage to ruin Ye Zhen, this letter will render Ji Changle utterly speechless!"

"In essence, it's about ensuring no one can claim we failed to issue a warning!" Right Chief Priest Dalantai directed his gaze toward Bi Ze, remarking, "The Hall Master's foresight is truly commendable!"

"Indeed, the Hall Master is wise!"

"The Hall Master's brilliance shines through!"

Amidst the chorus of accolades, the War Soul Hall's senior officials concluded their strategic deliberation, which had been primarily focused on Ye Zhen.

Meanwhile, positioned outside the imposing gates of the War Soul Hall, Ye Zhen stood with his arms folded, poised to intercept any individuals from the War Soul Hall or any priests who might arrive on official business.

From ranks as low as Moon Sacrifice all the way up to Sky Priest, he resolutely blocked them, challenging all comers.

Should they opt to concede and sidestep direct confrontation, Ye Zhen would acknowledge their decision but instruct them to depart; as long as Ye Zhen maintained his vigil, entry into the War Soul Hall would be barred.

For those who, after conceding, still desired entry, apologies were offered, but they were compelled to accept Ye Zhen's challenge before gaining admittance to the War Soul Hall.

Once combat commenced, Ye Zhen vowed to ensure their complete inability to breach the War Soul Hall on that particular day.

Although the majority of curious priests eventually dispersed, a steady stream of arrivals, departures, and passersby ensured that the number of onlookers consistently surpassed ten thousand.

Having established his strategy, Ye Zhen was determined to adhere to it until dusk, when the lamps would begin to illuminate the grounds.

Numerous priests arriving for business or to conduct various affairs found themselves unexpectedly confronted by Ye Zhen, many of whom were entirely unaware of his formidable capabilities.

By the day's end, Ye Zhen had successfully vanquished a grand total of one hundred forty-one priests from the War Soul Hall.

Consequently, the banner unfurled beneath Ye Zhen's own was updated to display a streak of one hundred forty-one consecutive defeats.

Lingering until the stroke of midnight, when the spectator crowd had largely thinned to predominantly Barbarian Spirit Hall priests, and with the interior lights of the War Soul Hall mostly extinguished, Ye Zhen finally made his departure.

However, Ye Zhen deviated from his usual course, choosing not to return to the Barbarian Spirit Hall, but instead leaving the Ancestor God Temple grounds directly.

Ye Zhen possessed sufficient pragmatism to understand that merely obstructing the War Soul Hall's entrance would not be enough to compel them into relenting and allowing him access to the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal once more.

Such an outcome was simply implausible!

Ye Zhen recognized the necessity of employing more than just this singular tactic to persuade the War Soul Hall to yield.

A multifaceted approach was imperative for Ye Zhen to achieve his objective!
