Chapter 2707: The Federation's Questioning_1

Looking at the Ghost Emperor, who had perceived the anomaly of Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu, he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how did the strength of those two increase so suddenly? They were almost suppressed by a casual effort on my part."

Although they still were not a match for him, he felt very puzzled...

Just then, a strong spiritual power allowed him to sense an extremely faint Divine Power emanating from their bodies...

His train of thought suddenly became clear...

The corners of his mouth, hidden beneath the mask, curled slightly upward, "So that's it, they're using the Divine Power stored within their bodies?"

Guo Xiaoxu said coldly, "So what if we are? Ghost Emperor, don't tell me you actually think you're the only one who can use Divine Power? It's not the exclusive property of Gods!"

Yue Zhengyu revealed a mocking expression, "I thought you became so powerful just after breaking through to God Rank, turns out you were using Divine Power. Tsk, if it were just Soul Power, you wouldn't be much after all!"

Xie Xie indifferently stated, "As long as one breaks through the Hyper Douluo, theoretically, one can sense Divine Power. The reason you dealt with us so effortlessly is simply because we did not use it!"

He paused, then continued, "On the contrary, once we use Divine Power, our strength will greatly close the gap, and we can still pose a threat to you!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "That's right, Ghost Emperor. In the previous battle, you just had an advantage by relying on Divine Power!"

The Ghost Emperor couldn't help but laugh out loud...

"Hahahaha, so what? With just the little bit of Divine Power you have stored in your bodies, how long can you last?"

Unlike these fools, all the Soul Power in his body could be said to have been converted to Divine Power, like the difference between a basin of water and a drop of water!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Di Tian and Bi Ji, who had joined the battle, looked at him with cold eyes...

The former spoke up, "Ghost Emperor, their Divine Power is indeed minimal, but what about us?"

The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Di Tian, Bi Ji, I had no intention of taking your lives. Leave now with your master and you can keep your pathetic little lives!"

He could feel that Di Tian, who had reached the Demigod Realm a long time ago, had a substantial quantity of Divine Power stored within...

While still less than his own, it was far superior to those humans and would be a tough opponent!

Di Tian, however, rejected the offer without hesitation, his golden eyes bursting with intense light, "We don't wish to make an enemy of you either, but our master has said, your existence has already affected the Spirit Pagoda. Therefore, you must be slain here!"

...

Below, on the battlefield, the Federation Members who had been on guard for several hours were growing increasingly impatient...

Finally, one of them couldn't help but say, "Hey, the battlefield is all clear, and we've been guarding here for a long time without spotting a single evil Soul Master. Why can't we leave yet?"

"Stop complaining. I reported to the higher-ups and still haven't gotten a response. If you ask me, they're just being overly cautious."

"I really don't want to waste my time here. My wife and daughter are waiting for me to return home!"

"Me too... But it's no use complaining. Since the higher-ups have decided that we should stay, we'll stay. Besides, the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters have been completely wiped out!"

Seeing the situation, the team leader immediately shouted, "Everybody be quiet!!"

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent...

But soon, a voice once again broke the stillness...

A Federation Member came rushing over, an anxious expression on his face, "Report... Captain, we've conducted a thorough search of the surroundings. Other than the powerhouses from small and medium forces, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and the Hall Masters of the Tang Sect have all vanished without a trace!"

The former's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "What? Could it be that so many strong warriors perished in this battle?"

This member shook his head, "No... It's unclear. Although we did not find their trails in the war, we didn't find any bodies either. There is a high chance they are still alive!"

The man furrowed his brows, pondering, "But if they're still alive, why haven't they shown up... Wait a minute!"

"Could it be that the Holy Spirit Cult's warriors haven't been slain yet, and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and other powerful fighters are possibly still battling them?"

"And up to now, they still haven't resolved it. The strength of the opposition, I'm afraid, is extraordinary!"

This member swallowed hard, saying excitedly, "You truly are the captain, to deduce everything just from these bits of information!"

Yet the man took a deep breath, "Don't get so excited, all of these are just my speculations. But just to be on the safe side, we should still report this to the federation!"

The former nodded, saying earnestly, "Yes, Captain, I'll report it right away!"

...

Upon receiving the news, the Chairman somewhat lost his composure, "What? The Elders of Sea God's Pavilion and other strong warriors have vanished? And, no bodies were found on the battlefield!"

The soldier responsible for reporting bowed his head, saying respectfully, "Yes, Chairman, hence, we initially suspect that there are still uneliminated warriors from the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Hearing this, the other Council Members voiced their opinions...

"According to messages from the frontline, all the protectors of the Holy Spirit Cult have been slain, now those who are probably alive are the Ghost Emperor and Ming Emperor!"

"Indeed, they intentionally disclosed the location of their headquarters from the start, certainly plotting something. And now, it is quite possible that their plan has succeeded!"

"Not only that, the bodies of the deceased Soul Masters on the battlefield have all had their blood extracted, which is definitely related to the Ghost Emperor and Ming Emperor!"

"As for the Elders of Sea God's Pavilion and the Hall Masters of Tang Sect, their absence might be due to them being in a dire situation!"

"Damn it, we were only one step away from eradicating the Holy Spirit Cult, why did these problems have to arise now! It's infuriating."

The Chairman pursed his lips and instructed the reporting federation member to step down...

After sitting down, he cupped his fists in thought, "Fellow Council Members, I understand your feelings, but now we need to remain calm and deliberate carefully."

The Council Members looked at each other and managed to suppress their anger, retaking their seats...

After a long silence...

The Council Member nearest to the former, as if coming to a realization, suggested, "Right, Chairman, didn't we receive news before that the Spirit Pagoda's master and those ferocious beasts also joined the battlefield? Could it be, they might take this opportunity to pull something off!"

"Hiss... that's very possible. Think about it carefully, even if the Ghost Emperor and Ming Emperor were incredibly powerful, they could not possibly withstand so many strong warriors alone. But with the involvement of the Spirit Pagoda, all of this becomes not impossible!"

"Hmph, to be so old yet still short-sighted. I didn't even consider this before. It seems we don't have to wait anymore; it must be the case. I propose we deploy the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles. Before their plans come to fruition, let's obliterate the Spirit Pagoda first!"

"We can't, there are many innocent Soul Masters inside the Spirit Pagoda! If we release it, we will be taking tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of lives!"
