Chapter 3267 Personally Guarding_1

Ao Rui's cheeks showed a few strands of helplessness again, "Hall Master, do you mean to say we're just going to play it by ear again?"

He had already heard similar words from Guan Yue no fewer than five times, and it was even getting a bit irritating...

Guan Yue seemed to notice the implication in his words and chuckled, "Ao Rui, you seem to have some reservations about my decision?"

Ao Rui was startled for a moment, then shook his head in denial, "Hall Master, it's not that I disagree, it's just that constantly playing it by ear seems a little too unplanned, doesn't it?"

"The Spirit Pagoda has always been preparing for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan, and even getting ready for war with us!"

Now, the Spirit Pagoda was like a venomous snake, showing no hostility on the surface, but at a critical moment, it might deliver a fatal blow!

If the federation waits until then to prepare, it might be too late!

Especially since the Spirit Pagoda has recently been mass-producing soul beasts, time seems even more of the essence!

Upon hearing this, Guan Yue understood his intentions, "War God Ao Rui, I can understand your current feelings, but many things can't be achieved by mere anxiety!"

"Wanting to be an enemy of the Spirit Pagoda isn't just about preparation, we must also clarify their overall strength before we can implement corresponding strategies!"

"But right now, we simply can't obtain any information about the Spirit Pagoda from any channel!"

Ao Rui's eyes flashed, suggesting, "What about Shrek Academy? Given the close relationship between some Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and Gu Yuena, perhaps we could get some useful information out of them."

Since Shrek Academy has decided to stand with the federation, they surely would not refuse!

But Guan Yue relentlessly rejected his view, "Forget it, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion may stand with us, but they also have their own principles!"

"They wouldn't stoop to such despicable means to probe for information about the Spirit Pagoda!"

He had already reached this conclusion during the last discussion with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!

Ao Rui wanted to say more, but he choked back his words...

However, at this moment, a member of the federation burst in...

The member bowed and said with a fist, "Report... Report to the Hall Master, I have urgent news to report!"

Guan Yue glanced at Ao Rui, then said to the newcomer, "Speak your piece!"

The federation member nodded and replied truthfully, "According to your instructions, Hall Master, we dispatched quite a few members to surveil the vicinity of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"But today at noon, some members were suddenly attacked, knocked unconscious by unidentified individuals, and we initially suspect it was the doing of the Spirit Pagoda!"

Guan Yue's expression did not show the slightest surprise, "The people of the Spirit Pagoda have finally lost their patience and made a move against the federation members lurking around the Spirit Pagoda, huh?"

"But since they didn't kill them, it's likely just to avoid surveillance!"

It was clear: they did not want to break with the federation openly, but at the same time, they did not want to be surveilled.

This was their way out!

Ao Rui narrowed his eyes, speculating, "Hall Master, the Spirit Pagoda has always been inactive, but this time they have knocked our people unconscious—could it be they are planning something big?"

Otherwise, there was no need for such actions!

Guan Yue, rather unusually, did not deny it, agreeing, "Hmm, that's very possible. Normally, those who surveil the Spirit Pagoda, even if discovered, would be ignored."

"This time, they might have secretly done something..."

Receiving affirmation, Ao Rui continued, "Hall Master, do you think it might be related to the transportation of soul beasts?"

Guan Yue immediately gave her own opinion, "It should be impossible. Don't forget, the Spirit Pagoda intentionally let us know about this matter last time!"

Ao Rui pursed his lips, "Hmm... Indeed, if the Spirit Pagoda is deliberately making this conspicuous, what exactly is their purpose?"

After a pause, he exclaimed, "Hall Master, we seem to have overlooked a very important issue all this time!"

Guan Yue raised an eyebrow, "War God Ao Rui? What do you mean by that statement?"

Even she couldn't guess what Gu Yuena was thinking—most likely, Ao Rui couldn't either!

However, Ao Rui's eyes became incredibly solemn as he said in a low voice, "Hall Master, is there a possibility that the Spirit Pagoda revealed the release of the soul beasts to us just to draw our attention?"

"Their real purpose could be to use this opportunity to rally the rest of the powers on the Soul Land Continent to their side!"

Guan Yue was startled for a moment, realizing the severity of the issue...

"War God Ao Rui, what you have said indeed is something we've forgotten!"

"We must send people to the other sects and powers immediately!"

Ao Rui nodded and immediately said to a federation member beside him, "Send members to all the sects and powers across the Soul Land Continent at once, we must persuade them to side with the federation!"

"Even if they can't be persuaded, at least ensure that they won't assist the Spirit Pagoda!"

The federation member shuddered and immediately stood up, saying, "Yes, War God Ao Rui, I will dispatch people right away!"

With a quick gesture, he turned and hastily left...

Only after the former had departed did Guan Yue take a deep breath, "Ao Rui, we owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for what you just said, I might have still been kept in the dark!"

Ao Rui felt somewhat flattered, "Hall Master, you're too kind. I just shared my own opinion!"

"I'm sure that even without my reminder, you would have soon seen through Gu Yuena's plans!"

At his words, Guan Yue couldn't help but shake her head with a mixture of laughter and sorrow, "You..."

The latter was excellent in many ways, but he was simply too subservient in front of her, the hall master.

With such an attitude, he would not be suited to succeed the position of the hall master of the Battle God Hall in the future!

Soon, she changed the subject, shaking her head, "Enough, let's not talk about this. During this time, I'll need you and the other War Gods to keep an eye on the federation and the Battle God Hall!"

Ao Rui looked puzzled, "Hall Master, what about you?"

Her tone sounded as if she was about to leave the federation!

Guan Yue calmed down and explained, "I need to constantly monitor the situation with the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile. Therefore, I can't attend to the federation and the Battle God Hall!"

In order to ensure that no accident occurs with the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, she would personally take charge of its security for the time being!

That way, even if the location where the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile is hidden gets exposed, no one would be able to lay a finger on it!

Upon hearing this, Ao Rui immediately understood everything...

"I see. Please rest assured, Hall Master, I will take good care of the federation and the Battle God Hall. Such an incident like last time won't happen again!"

The attack on the federation's council members due to negligence, leading to all of their deaths, was already a disgrace!!

As the first War God, he naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen for a second time!
