As Tang Wulin and the others had expected, the senior officials of Shrek Academy immediately contacted the federal authorities to demand the release of Tang Wulin and his friends. The Federation did not argue with Shrek Academy and quickly returned the Shrek Seven Devils to them.

Of course, this was only because Miracle City had gained enough from them. As for the other people from the Tang Sect who were captured, it was unlikely that Tang Wulin and the others would be able to rescue them so easily.

After all, those people had no clear connection to Shrek Academy. Even if some of them had once studied at Shrek Academy, it was a long time ago. Under the current situation, even Shrek Academy did not dare to admit that they had any substantial ties with the Tang Sect.

Moreover, what shocked the whole Federation was that Cao Dezhi, Chen Xinjie, Zang Xin, and other current leaders of the Tang Sect publicly announced that this incident happened because of the their negligence and apologized to all the federal citizens.

As for the people who were detained by the Federation, they claimed that they were spies planted by the Star Luo Empire in the Federation. They said that whatever they did was order from Star Luo, it had nothing to do with the Tang Sect.

However, this was only an official statement. They secretly contacted the Dou Ling Empire and the Star Luo Empire, hoping that the two empires could help the Tang Sect overcome this crisis.

What the Tang Sect did not expect was that the Dou Ling Empire, which they had cooperated with a lot in the past, would only make empty promises without taking any action.

Worse still, the royal family of the Dou Ling Empire issued a statement saying that the Dou Ling Empire would sever all contact with the Tang Sect in the future and boycott all the products related to the Tang Sect.

In addition, the royal family of the Dou Ling Empire stated that the Dou Ling Empire was willing to give up its national status and become the Dou Ling Autonomous Province. From then on, it would officially join the Federation and share its fate with it.

Such news was naturally exciting for the Federation, but it was not good news for the Tang Sect, which had to put all its hopes on the Star Luo Empire.

Only then did the Tang Sect admit that those who were arrested were sent to the Federation by the Star Luo Empire. After all, only in this way could the Star Luo Empire have a reason to extradite them to their own territory.

The Star Luo Empire was also willing to do this. They knew that most of the people who were captured were researchers from the Tang Sect. If the Star Luo Empire could acquire these researchers, some of whom had even participated in the research and development of the Star Battle Network, the Star Luo Empire's national power would surely reach a higher level.

As for the Star Luo Empire's extradition of the Tang Sect personnel, Miracle City had no idea. They were just researchers. With Anping's overt and covert support, the researchers of Miracle City were much more advanced than those of the Tang Sect.

You have to know that many researchers in Miracle City were brought by Ling Hongchen. In addition, during this period of time, the various products displayed in Miracle City attracted many researchers from the Federation to join Miracle City's scientific research teams.

Coupled with the fact that more and more neutral forces were turning to Miracle City, Miracle City now far surpassed Mingdu, and some people even began to propose that Miracle City should be the federal capital. The reason why it did not pass was mainly because the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were opposing it.

They were all in awe of the City of Miracles. As long as the capital remained in Mingdu, Tang Hao and Ah Yin could still secretly protect their people. But if the capital moved to the City of Miracles, they would lose their covert guardians. They feared that the Federation would soon fall under the control of the City of Miracles.

But they couldn't extradite the people from the Tang Sect to the Star Luo Empire without paying a price. They knew that whether it was treason or espionage, the Federation would demand a huge compensation to appease the public.

None of this mattered to the City of Miracles. Pan Wen, the Federation Secretary General, was in charge of the negotiations. The City of Miracles would simply receive the benefits from the Star Luo Empire or the Tang Sect.

As for the Tang Sect, they couldn't expect to get their things back without giving anything in return. The City of Miracles wouldn't agree to that, nor would the other members of the Federation.

After this incident, the City of Miracles was proud and triumphant. Unlike them, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were furious and frustrated by the unexpected attack.

In the Poseidon Pavilion, Tai Tan smashed another cup and said angrily, "This Di Tian is too much of a bully. I'll kill him right now."

Niu Tian held back the Titan who was about to storm out and sighed. "There's nothing we can do. Who would have thought they would find the Tang Sect's underground arsenal in Heaven Dou City? But it's also the fault of the person who was responsible for this. He shouldn't have sent them there."

Zang Xin knew that Niu Tian didn't know much about the Tang Sect's affairs, but he didn't dare to contradict him.

After all, Niu Tian was the elder brother that Tang San had personally recognized. He could only explain, "The reason why he sent them there was because it was not only an arsenal, but also a research center of the Tang Sect. He wanted to study the cultivation methods of those people. Only there could he do that."

As the deputy head of the Tang Sect, he was enraged by what had happened to the Tang Sect. He spoke through clenched teeth, but Niu Tian knew that Zang Xin hated the City of Miracles, so he didn't mind.

He said, "According to Zang Xin's explanation, the weapons and other things that the Tang Sect lost this time are not a big deal. The real problem is that a lot of research data fell into the hands of the City of Miracles because of Di Tian's sudden raid. That was the foundation of our Tang Sect."

The Tang Sect had suffered such a heavy loss, so Niu Tian couldn't let him vent his emotions. He shook his head and said, "But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is how Di Tian found out about it."

This question had been bothering them for a long time. They knew that the arsenal was very deep underground. And although it was said to be in Heaven Dou City, it was actually outside the city. Who would explore such a place for no reason? They didn't believe that Di Tian had found it without any information.

But it was even more impossible to say that there was a traitor in the Tang Sect. Those who knew about that place were absolutely loyal to the Tang Sect and had been members for a long time.

They knew that even Tang Wulin and the others didn't know about that place in the Tang Sect, which showed how secret it was.
