Spirit Pagoda!
Ever since learning that the federation was secretly manufacturing the fourth God-killing soul-guided missile, Gu Yuena had dispatched many members to infiltrate the federation!
After dozens of days of clandestine investigation, they finally obtained some useful information...
The Spirit Pagoda member responsible for reporting slightly bowed and said, "Report to the Pagoda Master and all Council Members, we've made progress regarding intelligence on the federation!"
Apart from those who had been eliminated, only ferocious beasts like Di Tian could now be called Council Members within the entire Spirit Pagoda!
Gu Yuena spoke calmly, "Hmm, go ahead!"
The fact it took so long to obtain some intelligence from the federation suggested that, following their last operation to destroy the God-killing soul cannonball, the federation's defenses had significantly strengthened!
This Spirit Pagoda member took a deep breath and spoke with utmost seriousness, "According to the information we've gathered, ten days ago, the federation's Chairman issued an order to the scientific research personnel, demanding them to accelerate the progress of manufacturing the God-killing soul-guided missile!"
"This has resulted in the research of the God-killing soul-guided missile entering its second phase, and presumably, it will still take several months to complete!!"
Upon hearing these words, there was no significant change in Gu Yuena's expression...
Because she had already anticipated this situation...
Di Tian spoke with a somber tone, "The development of the God-killing soul-guided missile has reached its second phase? This means that the coming period is our last opportunity!"
"If we can't stop this research, I fear there won't be any chance later on!"
Bi Ji nodded slightly in agreement, "That's right, not to mention whether the information our Spirit Pagoda members uncovered is intentionally leaked by the federation. Therefore, we must treat this as the worst-case scenario!"
Compared to them, the other ferocious beasts couldn't remain calm and were all extremely panicky...
"What should we do then? If we don't prevent the development of the God-killing soul-guided missile, the entire Spirit Pagoda, including us, may well turn to ash under the high temperatures!"
"Yes, we must find a way to stop the federation, even if it costs us our lives, we can't let them complete it!!"
"If push comes to shove, let's disregard the existence of the Ghost Emperor altogether and launch an immediate attack on the federation!!"
"Master, please say something. With our underdeveloped brains, it's impossible to think of a way to counter the God-killing soul-guided missile!!"
Di Tian gave them a cold glance, "Silence. The Master hasn't panicked yet, what are you anxious about?"
"Besides, even if the God-killing soul-guided missile truly destroys the Spirit Pagoda, with your physical strength, you'll entirely be able to survive!"
At this remark, the ferocious beasts felt at a loss for words and one by one closed their mouths...
Indeed, how could they, ferocious beasts that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, with their formidable defensive and regenerative abilities, possibly be instantly killed by a God-killing soul-guided missile!
Di Tian "hmphed" coldly before turning his gaze to the silent Gu Yuena...
He promptly asked, "Master, what do you think we should do now? If we are to launch an attack on the federation, the ferocious beasts present are ready to act at any moment!!"
Gu Yuena didn't rush to a conclusion but composedly analyzed, "Launching an attack on the federation now might stop the research of the God-killing soul-guided missile and even carry a great chance of eradicating it!"
"However, it will have a fatal consequence, the overall strength of the Spirit Pagoda will be greatly weakened!"
"At that time, even the weakest force or Clan/Family would be stronger than the Spirit Pagoda!!!"
If the Spirit Pagoda were to collapse, it would mean the plan to revive the Soul Beast Clan was utterly doomed!!
Bi Ji pressed her lips together, continuing the conversation, "But Master, if we don't launch an attack on the federation now, it might be too late later!!"
The Spirit Pagoda now faced only two choices!
One, to launch an attack on the federation and suffer mutual destruction!!
Two, to do nothing and face the reality of being destroyed by a God-killing soul-guided missile in the future!!
Neither choice was good!
But with the former option, there's still a sliver of a chance!!
So Gu Yuena gazed at Bi Ji, word by word she said, "I know, if it really comes to that step, I can only use the most despicable means."
Despicable as it may be, if things go as planned, it could save the Spirit Pagoda!!
Upon hearing this, a deep confusion surfaced in Bi Ji's beautiful eyes…
Despicable??
Moreover, she seemed to detect a note of disdain in the former's tone!
That is to say, even the master herself is reluctant to use this method!!
Di Tian was equally perplexed…
One must know that Tang Sect had already outright rejected the Spirit Pagoda's request; there was no way they'd grant access to the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System!!
What other methods could she possibly have!
But the next second, his pupils suddenly constricted...
Wait, the despicable method mentioned by the master??
Could it be…
With this thought in mind, he looked at Gu Yuena in disbelief…
And facing his gaze, there was no hint of evasion in her eyes…
This reaction made Di Tian even more certain of his conjecture!!
With a complex tone, he said, "If we use such a despicable method, indeed, the Spirit Pagoda can be kept safe and sound!!"
Seeing that Di Tian seemed to have guessed Gu Yuena's thoughts, Bi Ji was still full of deep confusion, "Di Tian…"
Suddenly, like a flash of insight, everything became clear…
She murmured, "So that's how it is, no wonder the master is loath to use such a means, it's truly shameful!!"
Inside the great hall, only that Spirit Pagoda Member and the ferocious beasts were left utterly confused...
In their eyes, the trio from the Soul Beast Clan seemed like enigmatic figures…
Their minds simply couldn't comprehend what was being said!!
...
Tang Sect!
Zang Xin looked at the two Hall Masters in front of him and inquired, "Hall Master Guo, Hall Master Liang, have there been any recent interactions between the Spirit Pagoda and Tang Sect??"
Guo Xiaoxu shook her head, denying, "Sect Leader, the Spirit Pagoda has been very quiet lately. Having been firmly rejected by us, they haven't continued to send people over, presumably giving up on the idea of the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System!"
Liang Xiaoyu echoed, "Hall Master Guo is right. I guess the Spirit Pagoda must be thinking of other methods!"
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Is that so? That's good. If the Spirit Pagoda were insistent, it would be a huge nuisance for Tang Sect!"
As for the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System, since it can withstand attacks from God-killing soul-guided missiles, every use would consume an immense amount of energy!
He would never order its activation unless it was a time of crisis!
As for sharing its operating authority with the Spirit Pagoda, that was even less possible!!!
That Gu Yuena gave up on this idea in time, she is not foolish after all!!
