Xu Lizhi couldn't help but speak up when he saw this, "Sister Xinglan, it shouldn't have come to this, right?"
"The situation has indeed been very tense lately, and the federation being a bit strict isn't really a surprise!"
After all, even Shrek Academy, which they were part of, now strictly prohibited the entry of unauthorized personnel.
Having his opinion rejected, Ye Xinglan turned her gaze to the former, squinted her eyes and said, "Lizhi, why are you speaking for the federation? Haven't you seen that we've all been left hanging here for so long?"
Clearly, nobody was blaming the federation for being so strict, but rather for their low efficiency in handling matters.
Xu Lizhi, under that intense stare, quickly changed his tune and shook his head as he explained, "No, Sister Xinglan, I wasn't trying to make excuses for the federation, I just thought that remark made some sense!"
Tang Wulin, somewhat helplessly, patted his shoulder and then addressed Ye Xinglan, "Xinglan, although I'm the Sea God Pavilion Master, I have no authority to dictate anything to the federation."
"Moreover, we came here today not for this matter, but to deal with the conflict between the federation and Spirit Pagoda."
He didn't want to waste time on such matters; after all, waiting a bit longer wasn't going to cost them an arm and a leg!
After all, their sudden visit to the federation was not preceded by any prior communication!
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and quickly reminded, "Wulin, don't be so serious. I guess Xinglan was just speaking off the cuff. We really shouldn't bother Hall Master Guan and those War Gods over something like this, or they'll think we're petty!"
"Right, Xinglan?"
Ye Xinglan nodded her head, indicating her agreement with that statement...
At that moment, a Federation Soldier came out from inside, leaned in close to the leader of the group, and whispered a few words...
The latter seemed thoughtful and then turned to Tang Wulin and the others with eyes full of apology, "Honored Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, my apologies for the long wait. I've just received the Hall Master's order, inviting you to the Council Hall for a discussion. Please follow me!"
With that, he waved his hand and signaled the other soldiers to open the gate...
Xie Xie finally stretched and lamented, "We finally notified Hall Master Guan. It wasn't in vain that we've been waiting here for over ten minutes!"
Yue Zhengyu rolled his eyes, "Xie Xie, we haven't been here long; it hasn't been over ten minutes, has it?"
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, "Really? But I remember it indeed felt like a while!"
Ye Xinglan propped up her chin in thought, "Xie Xie, that must be your misperception. However, I wonder if the meeting has already concluded!"
Xu Xiaoyan looked worried, "Yes, if the meeting is over, then our trip here would be for nothing!"
Xu Lizhi muttered, "I don't think so. Since Hall Master Guan has invited us to the Council Hall, it seems like the meeting probably hasn't concluded yet."
Tang Wulin scanned everyone and said earnestly, "Regardless, Gu Yue is our companion, and we absolutely cannot let a God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile bombard Spirit Pagoda!"
If there were to be a bombardment, they must be notified in advance to avoid a high number of Soul Master casualties.
That would be fatal for Soul Land!
Seeing that they were discussing among themselves, completely ignoring him...
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the team leader, but he did not dare to rush them...
He could only smile awkwardly and repeat himself, "Er... Honored Elders? Did you hear what I said? The Hall Master has invited you to the Council Hall for a discussion!"
Though no one still responded to him, as if his presence had been ignored, his anxiety grew...
He quickly added, "Hon... Honored Elders, I know that our hospitality was lacking before, but all of this was in accordance with the federation's rules and regulations. Please don't make it difficult for us!"
With this statement, he was the first to bow deeply...
Seeing this, the rest of the Federation Soldiers naturally bowed as well...
Seeing their sincere attitude, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but speak up, "Should be about enough, right? This time, we only wanted to teach them a lesson!"
If they went too far, they feared it might cause dissatisfaction among the federation's upper echelons!
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, then said to the leading captain, "In that case, please lead the way!"
The captain's face lit up with joy as he hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, Elders!"
...
Not long after, Tang Wulin and the others were led to the outside of the Council Hall...
The lead man knocked on the door and announced, "Hall Master Guan, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have been brought here!"
Soon, Guan Yue's voice came from inside, "Very well, let them in!"
The man nodded slightly, "Yes, Hall Master!"
After receiving the affirmation, he then said to Tang Wulin and the others, "Elders, please come inside..."
The group exchanged glances and, without further words, pushed open the doors and walked in...
The first sight that met their eyes was indeed Guan Yue and the War Gods sitting in their places...
Followed by Cai Yue'er and the others!
Guan Yue, upon seeing this, took the initiative to speak to the foremost Tang Wulin, "Hall Master Tang, since you've arrived, please take a seat."
Tang Wulin was somewhat puzzled by this but nodded and said, "Alright!"
After speaking, he went to an empty seat and sat down...
Xie Xie and the others didn't stand either and found seats to sit in as well!
It was then that Guan Yue continued, "Now that Hall Master Tang is here, let's continue with the previous topic."
However, Tang Wulin unexpectedly interrupted, "Hall Master Guan, please hold on a moment, before we continue, I wish to first ask if this meeting concerns the God-killing soul-guided missile?"
He wanted to clarify this to avoid any misunderstandings!
Guan Yue was caught off guard but nodded affirmatively, "Indeed, Hall Master Tang, this meeting is to discuss where to use the last God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile to maximize benefits!!!"
"Hall Master Tang, is there anything else you wish to ask?"
The so-called benefits didn't refer to the federation, but to human Soul Masters!
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Indeed, I have another question. Regarding this matter, have you already reached a conclusion in previous discussions?"
Guan Yue pondered for a moment, "Hmm... While we can't be certain yet, we do have a preliminary decision!!"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin's expression became even more grave...
Beside him, Zang Xin was quietly observing the scene and unexpectedly used his spiritual power to transmit a message, "Wulin, don't worry, the federation does not plan to use the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile against the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, but to annihilate the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire!"
Tang Wulin, upon receiving the message, looked gratefully at him and replied through spiritual power, "Thank you, Sect Master Zang, I got a bit too worked up!"
It seemed the federation had made the right choice!!
