Chapter 2591: Investigating the Truth_1

The Federation member who was relaying the message nodded and continued, "This information seems to concern the current hiding location of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, yet its authenticity still needs to be verified!"

The Chairman pondered for a moment and frowned, "The location of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters? The people who would know this kind of information are mostly likely the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters themselves!"

Truth be told, the credibility of this information, is extremely low!

The other Council Members responded with two differing opinions...

"Exactly, if the information was intentionally leaked by someone within the Holy Spirit Cult, then it is definitely a trap, and we cannot be led by the nose by them!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters have always been treacherous, they wouldn't reveal this out of the goodness of their hearts! Let's not forget that the Xingluo Empire was also caught off guard by a sudden attack! That esteemed State Preceptor, the Sage Dragon Douluo, nearly sacrificed himself!"

"But... if it turns out to be discovered by a civilian or a Soul Master in secret, wouldn't we then squander an opportunity to severely cripple the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Yes, whether it's true or not, we must give it a try, and as for whether it's a trap... even if it is a trap, this is our federation's territory, there's no need to fear the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Apart from these considerations, if our federation truly manages to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, we'll surely regain the attention of the Soul Masters!"

Nowadays, the Federation, oppressed by the Spirit Pagoda, dares not even draw a deep breath, maybe we could use this opportunity to break through the predicament!

The Chairman lifted his chin, suggesting, "I understand what all the council members mean, this information indeed represents an opportunity for our Federation, but we cannot be careless against the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"I propose that we first verify the authenticity of this information before taking action!"

Without a doubt, his statement received unanimous consent...

"I agree with the Chairman's proposal!"

"I also agree, this is the most sensible approach at the moment!"

"Hmm, I have no objections, that was the plan from the very beginning!"

"Although we might alert the Holy Spirit Cult in doing so... there's no other way!"

Only then did the Chairman turn to the man responsible for conveying the message and commanded, "Immediately investigate this information, and inform us at the earliest conclusion!"

The latter nodded slightly, responding, "Yes, Chairman!"

After his departure, one of the council members couldn't help but speak up, "Chairman, should we notify Shrek Academy about this information?"

The Chairman paused for a moment, instinctively saying, "Shrek Academy? They have just finished rebuilding, even if we told them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to help us!"

A council member next to him nodded, "Yes, compared to our Federation, Shrek Academy has it much worse. Although they have quite a few top-notch experts, the number of teachers responsible for instructing the students is merely a few!"

But the other council members exchanged glances and countered, "That's not correct; although Shrek Academy has fallen on hard times, it is still very strong!"

"In my opinion, we could ask the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to assist our Federation in action, and afterward, send some teachers from within the Federation to Shrek Academy to instruct. How about that?"

"That's a good idea; it not only allows us to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult but also deepens our relationship with Shrek Academy!"

In an instant, the Chairman's eyes also twinkled...

Indeed, the rebuilding of Shrek Academy relied heavily on the Tang Sect!

The Federation merely made a nominal appearance and did not provide any help!

Perhaps, it really is worth considering!

However, outwardly he remained calm and said, "There's no need to rush this matter, let's first wait for the vanguard unit's investigation results!"

...

Before long, the skilled surveillance vanguard unit of the Federation arrived at the destination according to the information...

The moment they took their first step, their faces changed dramatically...

Because they could clearly sense that the surrounding space was filled with a strange and eerie aura...

One of the members drew in a sharp breath and exclaimed in shock, "Hiss... the rumors are indeed true. We haven't even entered, and we've already felt a strong evil presence!"

Another member then reminded, "Quiet, be careful not to draw the attention of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters. We are only here to investigate the truth, we must not startle the snake by hitting the grass!"

"It seems that this is indeed the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, shall we head back and report immediately?"

"No, this is only our initial assessment, the result must be more accurate!"

"I agree, based on this little information, we can't conclude that this is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult. I suggest we continue to infiltrate!!"

The leader of the team frowned and interjected, "No, if we are discovered because of this, all our previous efforts will be wasted!"

He was certain that once they exposed themselves, not only would the message not be sent back to the federation, but it could even lead to the departure of these Evil Soul Masters!

After a pause, he commanded again, "Everyone, follow my order, retreat!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he was contradicted, "No way, captain, some members have already gone inside!"

The crowd immediately cast their gazes...

And true enough, while they were discussing, a member had already quietly infiltrated inside...

Grinding his teeth, the team leader rebuked angrily, "Damn it!! Does this guy want to get us all killed?"

He hadn't expected that someone within his squad could be so reckless, ignoring the bigger picture!

If they managed to return to the federation, he would definitely kick him out!!

Seeing the leader enraged, another member asked tentatively, "Captain, what should we do now? Withdraw?"

The man glared at him, "Withdraw, how do we withdraw? Abandon a comrade?"

Then, taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down and issued an order, "Everyone, infiltrate covertly! Do not make any moves that could potentially attract attention!!"

"Otherwise, we will all die here!!"

All members nodded and began to advance slowly, each concealing their presence...

Soon, they could hear the conversation of the Evil Soul Masters on guard...

"Who could have thought that the Demon Emperor would be driven out of the Holy Spirit Cult by the Sect Hierarch and Vice Sect Hierarch, like a stray dog!"

"Hmph, I think it's right for the Demon Emperor to be kicked out of the Holy Spirit Cult. If it weren't for her, how could our Holy Spirit Cult have fallen to this state!"

"Exactly, it's said that she's the one who caused the death of the four Dark Heavenly Kings!!"

"Indeed, only the Sect Hierarch can lead us to rule the Continent! Hahaha!"

The members of the Vanguard Unit darkened their faces and muttered softly, "These damned Evil Soul Masters, still thinking of ruling over Soul Land!"

"No matter, they won't be laughing for much longer. Once we pass the message back, we can immediately surround this place!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult is no match for our federation!!"

Just then, an inexplicable bone-chilling coldness spread from behind...

A shadowy figure stood there, speaking in a sinister tone, "Your conversation seems quite interesting, do you mind sharing it with me??"
