King of Creation 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?" Hall Master Bi Ze, who had accumulated seven days of nameless fire and pent-up anger, roared hysterically.

"Ah, speak up, are you all useless?"

After Hall Master Bi Ze’s hysterical roar, a deathly silence fell upon the main hall of the War Soul Hall.

Neither the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo, nor the Sun Priests, nor the core Moon Priests led by Sima Yan, uttered a single word.

Following the roar, Bi Ze stared intently at everyone present and suddenly noticed a hint of resentment in the expressions of several Sun Priests, his eyes filling with displeasure.

That displeased look felt like a basin of cold water being poured over his head, instantly sobering the extremely angry Bi Ze.

It seemed, this matter was difficult to blame them.

Don’t mention them, even he, the Hall Master, was helpless.

Slowly returning to his chair, Bi Ze let out a heavy breath, his voice softening.

"I was a bit anxious, thus venting my nameless fire, please, everyone, forgive me a bit."

The Hall Master’s initiative to admit fault caused the Sun Priests and Moon Priests below to be unable to remain seated, each quickly saying it was fine and that everyone understood.

It is known that the power base of War Soul Hall Master Bi Ze precisely consists of these Sun Priests and core Moon Priests before him; without their support, he, as the Hall Master, would soon be powerless.

"Thank you all for your understanding. However, this situation must change soon. If we remain continuously blocked by Ye Zhen, not only will the operations of the 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 lent the people present courage, or maybe the matter of the War Soul Hall being blocked had truly reached a critical point, as someone quickly spoke up.

"Hall Master, since Ye Zhen has already made it impossible for our War Soul Hall 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 moral high ground." The Second Deputy Hall Master of War Soul Hall spoke.

Hall Master Bi Ze considered for a moment and then shook his head.

"Not appropriate!"

"Ye Zhen’s speed is extremely fast, few people will suffice. Too many not only provides a pretext but also burdens our War Soul Hall with a reputation we cannot afford."

"Also, if Ji Changle is hidden nearby, should she join the fray, given her status, she’d be a formidable opponent, 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 go mad, who will deal with that?

Besides, unless we deploy 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 countered.

Beside him, Hall Master Bi Ze could only offer a bitter smile, "Tong Daquan Priest, don’t bother thinking about it, I’ve already sought him out, and it’s no use!"

In fact, Tongg Na wished to assist the War Soul Hall, but just as the First Deputy Hall Master stated, it would be futile. Furthermore, for such trivial matters, Tong Daquan Priest was not inclined to intervene.

According to Tong Daquan Priest’s words, if they possessed the ability to deal with Ye Zhen, he would certainly support them.

But for this particular issue, having him intervene as a great priest would mean the War Soul Hall could shed its pride, but he, Tongg Na, could not.

After all, Ye Zhen had made it clear, his cultivation was at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm...

The War Soul Hall, a great upper hall within the Ancestor God Temple, being obstructed by a Sky Priest of the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, and having to admit it aloud...

Suddenly, the Left Chief Priest Xii Mo, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Hall Master, actually this matter, if we’re being truthful, is easy to handle."

"This entire situation primarily originates from Ye Zhen; if Ye Zhen were to disappear, then our War Soul Hall's predicament would naturally resolve itself." Xii Mo stated.

Bi Ze froze, his expression confused, "Xii Mo, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Xii Mo suddenly cast a chilling gaze upon those assembled and then made a throat-slitting motion with his hand, commanding, "Dispatch experts over there, carry out an assassination!"

*Gasp!*

A collective intake of breath echoed through the hall.

It wasn't that the individuals present had no prior experience with assassination, but employing such methods against priests within their own Ancestor God Temple was rather shocking.

At the very least, Ye Zhen's actions thus far had been remarkably restrained.

"Assassination?" Bi Ze inquired, his brow furrowing.

"If you were to undertake this mission, how confident would you be in its success?"

"This..." Xii Mo hesitated, "If the operation were to occur outside the Ancestor God Temple, I'd estimate our chances at eighty percent! However, if it takes place within, especially inside the Barbarian Spirit Hall, success is no more than fifty percent, perhaps even less!"

After a few moments of contemplation, Bi Ze shook his head once more, stating, "Less than fifty percent certainty is unacceptable. No, the inherent risk is simply too great! Should the plan falter, we would all face utter ruin."

Assassination was an act of an entirely different nature, an act of extreme vileness!

"Is there any other recourse available?" Bi Ze pressed further.

Within the grand hall of the War Soul Hall, a heavy silence descended once again.

Hall Master Bi Ze's gaze swept across the gathered core Sun Priests and Moon Priests, but not a single one offered any viable suggestions.

Just as Bi Ze was beginning to feel a sense of disappointment, a Sun Priest named Qin Lie, known for his usual focus on cultivation, suddenly spoke up. "Actually, the root of this entire issue should be traced back to our War Soul Hall's deliberate obstruction towards Ye Zhen – our refusal to rent him the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal."

"I simply fail to comprehend why we can rent it to others yet deliberately create difficulties for Ye Zhen, thereby forging a formidable adversary for our War Soul Hall," Qin Lie continued.

"Regarding the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal, does it truly matter who utilizes it? After all, everyone is part of the Ancestor God Temple. Why must we specifically make things difficult for Ye Zhen?"

"I genuinely believe that renting the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to Ye Zhen would effectively resolve this entire problem."

"No, no!" a chorus of dissenting voices immediately erupted.

"We absolutely cannot rent the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to Ye Zhen! If we were to do so now, would that not signify that we at the War God Temple are yielding and bowing down?"

"Precisely! Absolutely not! Otherwise, how could we possibly maintain our dignity at the War Soul Hall?" others chimed in.

As soon as Qin Lie concluded his statement, a wave of objections followed swiftly.

Qin Lie rolled his eyes dramatically, retorting, "You are incapable of devising a solution, yet I have offered one. However, you all find fault with it, citing this and that as insurmountable obstacles. Therefore, I ask you, what method will actually resolve our current predicament?"

The assembled priests found themselves utterly at a loss for any constructive ideas.

"Regardless of whether we possess a solution or not, the matter of renting the avatar of the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal to Ye Zhen will not be discussed again. If we were to concede on this point, not only would we lose face at the War Soul Hall, but we would also be widely mocked as spineless!" Left Chief Priest Xii Mo stubbornly insisted.

Observing this entire scene unfold, Hall Master Bi Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly. He sincerely recognized that the suggestion put forth by Sun Priest Qin Lie was, in fact, the most effective method available.

However, just as Left Chief Priest Xii Mo had articulated, if they were to agree to such terms, their War Soul Hall would not only suffer a significant loss of face but would also be derided as utterly spineless.

Just as everyone was feeling utterly defeated, a streak of light suddenly entered the War Soul Hall from the outside. A voice, tinged with an almost palpable relief, declared, "Fortunately, I arrived a step ahead of Ye Zhen; otherwise, I would have been blocked at the door by him."

The individual who had just arrived was none other than the Right Chief Priest, Dalantai, who had been dispatched to handle matters overnight.

Dalantai's seemingly nonchalant words of relief left the high-ranking officials within the War Soul Hall feeling an overwhelming sense of suffocating pressure.

This was their very own War Soul Hall. Now, even the Right Chief Priest returning to their headquarters had to carefully time their arrival; otherwise, if they were late and encountered Ye Zhen, they would face reprimands once more.

What a truly sorrowful state of affairs this had become.

Hall Master Bi Ze felt an even deeper sense of dejection, pondering when their War Soul Hall, one of the top five Upper Halls within the Ancestor God Temple renowned for its combat prowess, had fallen into such a dire condition?

Even the simple act of returning to their own hall now required meticulous timing, necessitating an arrival before dawn to avoid encountering Ye Zhen.

This was simply unbearable.

Recalling these circumstances, Bi Ze's chest felt a constricting discomfort.

However, the hurried Right Chief Priest Dalantai failed to notice this palpable anguish. He first offered his apologies to Hall Master Bi Ze for his tardiness.

Then, with a visibly distressed expression, he looked towards his colleagues situated around the hall, appearing somewhat hesitant.

This demeanor provided Hall Master Bi Ze with a crucial insight. Dalantai was his trusted confidant, and Bi Ze could not afford to overlook such a visible display of concern. "You seem anxious, Dalantai. Have you encountered any troubling issues?" he inquired. Dalantai found himself hesitating once more, then abruptly dropped to one knee before Hall Master Bi Ze. This unexpected action left the high-ranking officials of the War Soul Hall in a state of shock. The kneeling ritual had long been abandoned for anyone holding a rank higher than Sky Priest within the Ancestor God Temple's hierarchy. For Dalantai, who occupied a prestigious position as a Moon Priest and was known to be a trusted confidant, to kneel before Hall Master Bi Ze was an unmistakable sign that a significant crisis was unfolding. As a stunned multitude watched on, Dalantai began to speak. "Hall Master, I am fully aware that our War Soul Hall is navigating a period of considerable upheaval. However, on this occasion, I have encountered a predicament so severe that I find myself utterly incapable of resolving it alone. Thus, I can only turn to you for assistance, Hall Master." "I implore you, Hall Master, please bestow your aid upon my entire Da Clan! From this moment forward, you shall have my unwavering loyalty and deepest gratitude!" Dalantai's voice trembled, laced with profound sorrow and anguish. "Your entire Da Clan is in peril?" Bi Ze's surprise was evident. He quickly moved to help Dalantai to his feet, "Tell me precisely what has transpired. If there is any way I can offer my assistance, rest assured, I shall not falter!"
