Chapter 2779 Contact Disruption_1

Yuanen Yehui's gaze swept over the bodies and she said in a grave voice, "As expected, it's true. The corpses of the abyssal creatures haven't been damaged in the slightest, not even a trace of soul power fluctuation remains!"

Ye Xinglan nodded her head, clearly having noticed the same thing, "Yes, and not just that, there's no sign of Divine Power fluctuations either!"

If it were the work of a God, there should be traces of Divine Power left behind!

Yuanen Yehui silently thought to herself, "Perhaps it is as we speculated!"

All of this, the doing of the missing Teacher Xu!

Only he could eliminate so many abyssal creatures in such a seamless manner, leaving no trace behind!

Hearing their discussion, the member of the federation hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Um, Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, would you like me to continue guiding the way?"

The abyssal plane is complicated and intricate; without someone to guide, it's very easy to lose one's way!

Yuanen Yehui glanced at him, "No need, we will explore on our own!"

With someone tagging along, it wouldn't be appropriate for her and Ye Xinglan to discuss certain matters...

The man seemed to have anticipated this response, quickly nodding, "Yes, then I shall take my leave!"

With a gesture, he turned and returned to his post...

Without the unwanted presence, Yuanen Yehui then turned to Ye Xinglan and said earnestly, "Xing Lan, let's go, we shall delve deeper!"

Ye Xinglan simply responded with an "Mhm!"

She had originally planned to immediately report the situation of the abyssal plane back to the academy, but after careful consideration...

It wouldn't be too late to send the message after they had thoroughly understood the federation's situation!

...

Douling Empire!

Emperor Xue Yuntian looked down at Leng Yaozhu with a cold smile, "Lord of the Cold Tower, what a rare visitor. I didn't expect you to come personally from Soul Land to the Douling Empire!"

"Had you notified in advance, I would have arranged for a proper reception!"

Even though he had no leads, he knew that her visit was definitely not for a simple matter!

Usually, it was members of the Spirit Pagoda who came!

Faced with this development, Leng Yaozhu appeared to be accustomed to it, speaking indifferently, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I came here on behalf of the Spirit Pagoda to propose cooperation with the Douling Empire!"

Xue Yuntian's gaze became more serious, "Cooperation? Lord of the Cold Tower, I am sure you are aware of the current situation of the Douling Empire..."

The current Douling Empire, although developing soul tools with all its might, still had a significant gap compared to the Federation and Xingluo Empire!

He couldn't imagine any area where they could collaborate with the thriving Spirit Pagoda!

Leng Yaozhu still appeared incredibly calm, "Since I have come, naturally I am aware of the Douling Empire's situation, hence, the Spirit Pagoda is willing to offer help!"

Seeing a profitable opportunity, Xue Yuntian pretended to ponder, "Really? But there must be conditions, right?"

The corners of Leng Yaozhu's mouth turned up slightly, "That's correct, the Spirit Pagoda will provide soul tool technology to the Douling Empire, and the Douling Empire doesn't need to do anything!"

She believed that the Douling Empire would surely accept this proposal that was all benefit and no harm!

Xue Yuntian was momentarily stunned, "Nothing needs to be done? What do you mean by that, Lord of the Cold Tower?"

The Douling Empire would receive help from the Spirit Pagoda without having to do anything!

This inevitably sent a chill down his spine...

Leng Yaozhu chuckled lightly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, those are the conditions put forth by the Spirit Pagoda!"

Upon hearing this, even the dim-witted Xue Yuntian instantly grasped the true meaning behind her words...

With suspicion he said, "What you mean is... the Spirit Pagoda plans to do something during this period, and the Douling Empire should not interfere, correct?"

Leng Yaozhu gave an affirmative answer, "Indeed, Your Majesty the Emperor! That's exactly it!"

She had thought he would agree, but to her disappointment, he did not!

Xue Yuntian fell silent for a few seconds, and then spoke again, "Although the Douling Empire indeed needs soul tool technology to improve its national strength, if Lord of the Cold Tower can't provide specifics, I fear this cooperation will be hard to achieve."

The conditions she proposed were attractive, but he didn't want to agree without a clear understanding!

At the very least, he would need a convincing reason!

Leng Yaozhu's expression grew much colder, "Your Majesty the Emperor, what the Spirit Pagoda intends to do has nothing to do with the Douling Empire, does it?"

Emperor Xue Yuntian replied impassively, "Of course, but the Douling Empire naturally has the right to refuse cooperation!"

Leng Yaozhu clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath, "It seems, then, this cooperation is destined to end in failure!"

Are they raising the stakes?

Sorry, but the Spirit Pagoda does not even consider the Douling Empire worth paying attention to!

Even if unwilling to cooperate, it will not affect future plans!

...

After leaving the Douling Empire Imperial Palace, Leng Yaozhu immediately contacted Gu Yuena...

Soon, a light voice came from the other side...

"Teacher? What happened?"

She was very aware that if nothing unexpected had happened, Leng Yaozhu would not have initiated contact with her!

Leng Yaozhu spoke with a trace of chill, "Gu Yue, there's been some changes in the situation!"

"The Dou Ling Empire's Emperor did not agree to the cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda!"

Gu Yuena's tone also seemed somewhat surprised, "Oh? Even with soul tool technology as bait, he still didn't agree?"

Leng Yaozhu nodded affirmatively, "Yes, he refused decisively. Perhaps he's guessed something!"

There was a full silence on the other side for several seconds before the voice came through again...

"I see... No matter, the Dou Ling Empire poses no threat to the Spirit Pagoda!"

"The reason I had you go to the Douling Empire was more to warn Xue Yuntian not to interfere with the affairs of Soul Land!"

"Alright, I shall return now..."

Just then, Leng Yaozhu caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and her pupils suddenly tightened...

An intense chill spread up her back involuntarily...

"That's..."

"There's no mistake, it's very likely that guy!!"

No sooner had she spoken than she burst out with terrifying Soul Power, pursuing something in a certain direction...

Gu Yuena on the other end seemed to have noticed something as well, asking urgently, "Teacher? What did you just say??"

"Teacher??"

"Zzzt zzzt zzzt"

A strong sound of electric current rose, and the connection was cut off!!

...

Gu Yuena's complexion turned ugly as she disconnected the call...

Di Tian, standing beside her, asked in confusion, "My lord, what's happened?"

The former pursed her lips, "It seems Teacher has encountered something in the Douling Empire. I was about to ask when the connection was cut off..."

Clearly, it wasn't the other party who had hung up, but rather some powerful force had interfered!

A bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart!!

Seeing the other party's complexion grow even darker, Di Tian suggested, "My lord, shall I go to the Douling Empire now??"

What on earth had Leng Yaozhu seen in the Douling Empire to have been so perturbed!

Gu Yuena forced herself to stay calm and objected, "No... Now is a critical moment for the Spirit Pagoda; we cannot leave rashly!!"

"Let's wait a while. Perhaps, the situation isn't as bad as I think!"
