Chapter 3141: Laboratory_1

Soon after, War God Ao Rui, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, couldn't wait to ask, "Hall Master, did I just receive news that the Spirit Pagoda has truly agreed to the conditions we proposed??"

Guan Yue glanced at the former, "It seems that War God Ao Rui has also received the news, it is indeed true!!"

"Moreover, it was said by Hall Master Tang himself!!"

Ao Rui patted his chest, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly thought of something and said again, "Wait, considering the identities that Hall Master Tang and Gu Yuena of the Spirit Pagoda have, is it possible that they might..."

If it were only Tang Wulin, who is the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, making the guarantee, it would indeed be trustworthy!

But don't forget there's another thing, Gu Yuena is the former's wife!!

If they were to collude, it would be the federation that suffers!!

Guan Yue saw the doubt in the other's mind at a glance, and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, Hall Master Tang is not the kind of person who would do such a thing!"

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been favored by the previous Tang Sect Master and the Sea God Pavilion Master, nor would he have been approved by the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

Being favored by the leaders of these two major forces on the Continent has already explained a lot!

Therefore, Ao Rui's concerns are completely unnecessary!

Having received this response, although Ao Rui wanted to say something, considering that such a case had never occurred before, he also chose to accept it!

"Since you, Hall Master, have said so, you must have great trust in Hall Master Tang. Then I have no more to say!"

"I only hope that the Spirit Pagoda will abide by the agreement. The conflicts between powers should be dealt with after we handle the troublesome enemies like the evil Soul Masters!!"

Guan Yue nodded in agreement, "Yes, but now that the matter has come to this, we cannot suddenly renege, so let's just take it one step at a time!"

Ao Rui rubbed his head, changing the subject, "Right, I almost forgot, I came here, actually, to tell Hall Master another matter!"

Guan Yue subconsciously asked back, "Does it have to do with the news about the Soul Masters stranded in the Douling Empire?"

The former's eyes widened in disbelief, "Hall Master, how did you know?"

This matter should have only been learned by himself!

He even hadn't told the rest of the War Gods!

Seeing his reaction, Guan Yue knew he had guessed correctly...

He placed a hand on his chest, saying thoughtfully, "Actually, I've had a bad feeling during this time, and what I just said was only a guess."

Thinking this, he shook his head and then said again, "Tell me, how are those Soul Masters doing?"

Sadness appeared on Ao Rui's face, "According to the investigation by the sent Federation Members, we have not found any news about them, and there's been no response to our communications!"

"I'm afraid they have met with misfortune!!"

With the existence of God Rank beings like the Ghost Emperor, even if Soul Power is hidden, it is impossible to escape detection!

Having heard this, Guan Yue couldn't help but sigh, "No response to communications, met with misfortune? I'm afraid that's the truth!"

Ao Rui took a deep breath, "Then, Hall Master, what should we do next?"

"Without these Soul Masters to provide information, we will find it difficult to know the situation of the Douling Empire!"

Guan Yue's gaze suddenly sharpened, "War God Ao Rui, does your statement imply that you haven't made yourself clear?"

"Even without these Soul Masters to convey messages, can't our federation conduct its own investigation?"

The federation has never relied on other powers!!

The former immediately realized, "Sorry, Hall Master, indeed I misspoke!"

"However, according to what you mean, we should send Federation Members to investigate?"

Guan Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, and we can't send ordinary Federation Members, but those who are experts at concealment!"

"In this regard, we could communicate with Shrek Academy and request the accompaniment of a Sea God Pavilion Elder!"

Ao Rui was stunned for a moment. "Hall Master, why not let a War God from the War God Hall accompany us instead of an Elder from the Sea God's Pavilion?"

He didn't quite understand why.

Guan Yue glanced at him and questioned, "War God Ao Rui, do we have any War Gods in the War God Hall who are proficient in concealment?"

After carefully considering it, Ao Rui shook his head. "Well... it seems we do not."

To become a War God of the War God Hall, one relied not on the ability to hide one's presence, but on combat capability!

It was then that Guan Yue continued, "That's just one factor. Another is that among the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Xie Xie possesses a Spatial Soul Skill, and he's also a powerhouse who has escaped from the clutches of the Ghost Emperor!"

"This means that with him present, should an emergency arise, he would be capable of leading the Federation members to safety!"

Ao Rui suddenly realized, "I see now!!"

No wonder the Hall Master would say something like that; he had already set his sights on this Xie Xie!

After a pause, Ao Rui expressed his worries, "But for such a dangerous task, would this Xie Xie agree?"

Heading to the Douling Empire now was akin to walking through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, with dangers lurking at every turn!!

However, Yueguan gave a resolute answer, "He definitely will!"

"Because Shrek Academy has not received any message from the Douling Empire, they will surely send a strong individual to investigate!"

"And since our goals align, there is no reason to refuse!"

Ao Rui said no more and promptly suggested, "Hall Master, then I will head to Shrek Academy right away to discuss this with them in person!"

But the other interrupted, "No need, such matters can simply be communicated through the communicator!"

"Next, you will accompany me to a place!"

Ao Rui pursed his lips, "Hall Master, what place?"

The look on the other's face suggested it was a matter of great importance!!

Unexpectedly, Guan Yue didn't reveal it outright but teased, "You'll know when we get there. Let's go!"

After saying this, he turned and left...

Ao Rui came back to his senses and quickly followed...

...

Looking at the scene before him, Ao Rui couldn't believe it, "Hall Master, is this place possibly..."

Guan Yue nodded affirmatively, "That's right, this is a research facility secretly constructed by the Federation!"

Seeing this, Ao Rui continued to inquire, "Then, Hall Master, is this research facility specialized in researching soul tools?"

Guan Yue didn't answer but instead pointed ahead...

Following that direction, Ao Rui's field of view came to rest on several soul beasts...

"Soul... soul beasts? Could these be the ones created by the Spirit Pagoda and captured by us from the soul beast forest?"

Guan Yue unhesitatingly denied, "No... these are real soul beasts!"

"Everyone assumes that soul beasts have been exterminated, but that isn't the case, the Federation has kept a number of them alive!!"

"And they are right here, inside this vast research facility!!"

The Federation had foreseen the implications of the extinction of soul beasts and thus had been conducting research in secret...

The only pity was that they had not achieved any significant results.
