Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 537 The Timeless East Wind That Broke Through Defenses

Inside the meeting room of the Spirit Pagoda.

Fors stood there quietly, facing the majestic and oppressive aura of the ancient east wind, his expression as calm and undisturbed as a deep and tranquil lake.

She did not choose to unleash her spiritual power to clash with the ancient east wind. As a prospective spirit messenger, it would be unwise for her to openly clash with the tower master of the spirit transmission tower.

Although it seems like there's not much difference now.

"Qian Gu Dong Feng, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to bully my daughter because she is weak?" Before anyone else could speak, Xia Zheng Leng took the initiative to attack.

In an instant, soul power surged out like a surging tide, and the powerful soul power pressure instantly filled the entire space, actually resisting the momentum of Qian Gu Dong Feng. The air in the conference room seemed to vibrate due to this sudden collision of soul power.

Qian Gu Dongfeng was startled, keenly sensing that the intensity of Xia Zheng's cold soul power fluctuations far exceeded his expectations. Beneath that surging soul power lay a profound and powerful foundation of strength.

"Sister-in-law, you've broken through to level 98?" Qian Gu Dongfeng blurted out, his voice filled with surprise and doubt.

"That's right." Xia Zheng stood tall and proud, her eyes filled with anger and determination as she stared intently at Qian Gu Dong Feng, her voice sharp and forceful:

"Don't change the subject. You have to give me an explanation for why you bullied my daughter. If you don't explain clearly today, Qingfeng and I will not let this go."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Qing Feng nodded slightly, and then released a powerful aura that resonated with Xia Zheng Leng's soul power, pressing down on Qian Gu Dong Feng together.

"Master, if you cannot provide a satisfactory explanation for today's events, then don't blame us for disregarding our relationship and seeking your guidance."

Qian Gu Qingfeng's voice was calm and firm. He deliberately addressed Qian Gu Dongfeng as "Tower Master," a distant yet formal title that clearly indicated his uncompromising attitude on this matter.

Qian Gu Dongfeng suddenly felt immense pressure, his body swayed slightly, and he looked at Qian Gu Qingfeng with astonishment and disbelief in his eyes.

It should be noted that in the past, his cultivation level was comparable to that of Qian Gu Qingfeng, both at the demigod level. However, he was now being suppressed by the other party so easily. The overwhelming powerful aura was exactly the same as that of their father, Zhan Tian Douluo Qian Gu Die Ting.

"Brother, you... you've broken through!" Qian Gu Dongfeng blurted out, his voice trembling slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Not bad." Qian Gu Qingfeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said calmly, "I just broke through by chance some time ago. But as I said before, don't try to change the subject."

Qian Gu Dongfeng's face instantly turned gloomy. He never expected that his brother would stand firmly on Fors' side.

Although there had been some rifts between the brothers in the past, and their relationship wasn't particularly harmonious, blood is thicker than water. In his mind, the elder brother should always consider their brotherly bond in crucial moments. But the current situation was completely unexpected.

Qian Gu Dongfeng quickly explained, "Brother, I didn't mean to bully your disciple. It's just that this is a meeting of the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda. Even if Fors is your disciple, she's not a member of the council, is she?"

"In a meeting like this, only the Tower Master, the two Deputy Tower Masters, the four Spirit Messengers, and the thirty-six council members should have the authority to speak. For a prospective Spirit Messenger to speak in this setting would be disrespectful to the others."

"If I don't take a stand, everyone below will start imitating your disciple and speaking recklessly. Won't the Spirit Pagoda descend into chaos?"

Upon hearing Qian Gu Dong Feng's words, Xia Zheng Leng immediately retorted angrily, "What about me? I'm not a member of the council either, and I just spoke up. Are you going to give me a hard time too?"

Faced with Xia Zhengleng's unreasonable and argumentative behavior, Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Today's meeting was something he and Leng Yaozhu had discussed beforehand. The aim was to let Gu Yuena stand out in front of the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda, and at the same time, to explain in detail the many benefits of artificial souls, thereby strengthening the interest ties with other families in the Spirit Pagoda and consolidating the Qian Gu family's dominant position in the Spirit Pagoda.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhengleng, the eldest sister-in-law, insisted on attending, and even wanted to bring her eldest brother's disciple along.

This would not have been a big deal, but who would have thought that Fors would openly raise objections at the meeting? A prospective spirit messenger daring to act in this way greatly angered Qian Gu Dongfeng.

He originally only wanted to give this arrogant young woman a small punishment to make her understand the rules and order of the Spirit Pagoda, but he never expected it to provoke such a strong reaction from Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng Leng. Now he was in an extremely awkward situation, unable to back down.

Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His elder brother and sister-in-law were spoiling their daughter far too much, to the point that they were willing to go against him like this for her sake, which was really giving him a headache.

Furthermore, why doesn't Yao Zhu offer any help? The matter we're discussing concerns her disciple's future!

Seeing Leng Yaozhu seemingly deep in thought, Qian Gu Dongfeng coughed lightly and secretly sent her a telepathic message, hoping she would help him out of the predicament.

Meanwhile, Leng Yaozhu, who was pondering what delicious food to cook for Yun Ming tonight, was slightly taken aback after receiving Qian Gu Dongfeng's telepathic message. She then remembered that she was currently attending an internal meeting of the Spirit Pagoda.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Leng Yaozhu looked confused. Wait, what happened? Why do you two look like you're about to fight?

It wasn't until she received another message from Qian Gu Dong Feng that Leng Yao Zhu reacted and immediately said, "Everyone, let's calm down first. This is a meeting inside the Spirit Pagoda. If we fight here, wouldn't outsiders laugh at us?"

"It would be better if we discussed it first, and then voted on it."

Although Leng Yaozhu was unaware of the cause and effect of the matter—after all, she had been distracted the whole time—she was still someone who had spent years mingling in high-level positions, and she knew how to smooth things over.

Qian Gu Dongfeng immediately followed up on Leng Yaozhu's words, saying, "Yes, brother, we are discussing important matters concerning the future of the Spirit Pagoda. If we start fighting, wouldn't we become a laughing stock for the people below?"

"Since your disciple has just raised an objection, why don't you let her explain why she opposes Nana's proposed artificial soul?"

"snort!"

Upon hearing Qian Gu Dong Feng's words, Qian Gu Qing Feng snorted coldly, but still withdrew his soul power pressure. Xia Zheng Leng also stopped.

Qian Gu Dongfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Fors and said, "You just raised an objection. I wonder what you objected to? Why don't you tell us so everyone can have a say?"

Gu Yuena, standing behind Qian Gu Dongfeng, couldn't help but look at Fors, wanting to see why she was opposing her proposal, since this matter should have been entirely beneficial to the Spirit Pagoda.

Fors said calmly, "It's nothing. I just don't like artificial souls created ten thousand years ago. As for the situation in that small plane, we don't know anything about it. It's all just Gu Yuena's opinion, which is why I objected."

Upon hearing Fors's words, Leng Yaozhu and the other council members couldn't help but turn their gazes to the girl. What kind of ridiculous reason was that? It was completely unconvincing!

Just because you don't like artificially created ten-thousand-year-old souls, you directly oppose it. This is a major event concerning the future of the Spirit Pagoda. How can you decide not to do it just because of personal preference?

This is absolutely absurd!

The veins on Qian Gu Dong Feng's forehead bulged. He had originally thought that Fors would have some brilliant ideas, but what was the result? It was just because she didn't like this absurd thing.

If it weren't for his elder brother and sister-in-law watching him closely, Qian Gu Dongfeng would have definitely taught Fors a lesson.

"Big brother, look at this!" Qian Gu Dongfeng looked directly at his elder brother. Your disciple has said such absurd things, aren't you going to do anything about it?

Unexpectedly, Qian Gu Qingfeng calmly nodded and said, "In that case, let's vote. Those who agree with my disciple's idea, please raise your hands."

Brother, you're so foolish!

Qian Gu Dongfeng never expected that at this point, his elder brother would still favor his disciple and even suggest a vote.

Who would approve of something so utterly absurd? Qian Gu Dong Feng couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, he was dumbfounded the next moment. Among the thirty-six council members present, including his own elder brother, a total of twenty-two people raised their hands!

Seriously, are you guys out of your minds?!

"I also object." The next moment, an old voice rang out from beside Qian Gu Dong Feng.

"Old Lan, what are you doing?!" Qian Gu Dongfeng looked at the old woman beside him in disbelief. How could even this woman be acting so ridiculously?

Lan Lao, whose real name is Lan Xueqin, possesses the Snow Maiden Martial Soul, which is the true ultimate ice. He is also one of the two deputy tower masters of the Spirit Pagoda, a true Limit Douluo and a four-word Battle Armor Master.

In terms of seniority, this person is of the same generation as his father, Qian Gu Die Ting. In terms of strength, he has also reached the demigod level and is one of the foundations of the Spirit Pagoda.

Although Old Lady Lan rarely expresses her opinions, once she does, even Qian Gu Dong Feng has to take her words seriously.

Why is this person joining Fors's antics today?

"Hmph." Lan Xueqin snorted coldly, "I also quite like Fors. This girl's way of doing things suits my taste very well. What, do you have some objection to my actions?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng shook his head with a wry smile, "No, whatever makes you happy." Lan Xueqin was, after all, a senior with a high status in the Spirit Pagoda, and Qian Gu Dongfeng didn't want to offend her too much.

"Since Elder Lan is also against it, surely the difference between the two of us won't make a difference."

Following Lan Xueqin, two more Spirit Transmission Envoys raised their hands, which made Qian Gu Dongfeng's face darken completely.

As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, he only has two votes and one veto power.

The two deputy tower masters and the four spirit messengers each have two votes.

In this situation, Lan Xueqin and the other two Spirit Transmission Envoys voted, plus the twenty-two council members led by Qian Gu Qingfeng, which makes a total of twenty-eight votes!

Even with Leng Yaozhu and others on his side, he would only have one veto and twenty-two votes at most. There was no way he could contend with the other side.

In the high-level meetings of the Spirit Pagoda organization, the side with fewer people always submits to the side with more people. This was decided from the moment the organization was established. Over the years, Qian Gu Dongfeng has been working diligently and constantly trying to win over other families within the Spirit Pagoda.

He originally thought he was all-powerful in the Spirit Pagoda, but he never expected to be taught a lesson by his own brother today!

"When exactly did he manage to gather so many people?" Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but ponder, while also turning his gaze to Fors, the instigator of this incident.

"Could it be because of her? But she's just a young girl, how could she possibly win over so many people?" Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts.

How old is Fors? His background is spotless; how could he possibly have the ability to win over other high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda? It's most likely his older brother's doing.

Qian Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "It seems the outcome of the meeting is quite clear. No one really believes in the idea of ​​creating ten-thousand-year-old souls, so let's wait and see about putting them on the market. As for that small dimension you mentioned, I also think it's unreliable, so I've rejected it as well."

"Next, let's discuss other matters concerning the Spirit Pagoda, such as our contact with the Federation."

……

After the meeting, Qian Gu Dongfeng had a cold expression throughout, and even Gu Yuena looked rather grim, because the idea of ​​creating an artificial ten-thousand-year-old soul was completely rejected at the meeting.

Not only that, even the newly developed small plane named the Myriad Beast Platform was completely rejected, with only a small portion of resources allowed to be allocated for its cultivation. This was only possible because Qian Gu Dongfeng and Leng Yaozhu argued their case; otherwise, they wouldn't have even received that portion.

"Shortsighted, utterly shortsighted. My brother actually rejected this groundbreaking research on the Spirit Pagoda just because I said I didn't like it. It's utterly incomprehensible."

Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but curse, while comforting Gu Yuena beside him, "Nana, don't worry, I will fully support you regarding the artificial ten-thousand-year soul spirit and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The Qian Gu family still has quite a few resources in the Spirit Transmission Tower."

"Yes, thank you for your support, Tower Master." Gu Yuena bowed to Qian Gu Dongfeng.
