As Gu Yuena got closer, she also arrived at the area where the space fluctuations were occurring...
However, since there were many federation members in charge of guarding the place, she had to stop and chose to watch from behind...
She could faintly hear the voices of the research personnel coming from ahead...
"Did you all see just now? The Ancient Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda seemed to have brought many people over. It looks like they want to enter the ruins!"
"Yes, they came in so aggressively that I almost thought a battle was about to break out. Luckily, that didn't happen!"
"Hiss… The people from the Spirit Pagoda have come? Does that mean they've discovered our purpose here and probably won't let the matter rest?"
"That's not necessarily the case. It is said that War God Ao Rui drove them away. Moreover, this is Shrek Academy's territory. Without the permission of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, even the people from the Spirit Pagoda can't enter!"
"I always feel it's not that simple. Could it be that the Spirit Pagoda has already sent someone to infiltrate and gather intelligence?"
"Don't talk nonsense. With War God Ao Rui and so many Federation Members around, who would dare to infiltrate this place?"
"Everyone, quiet down. No matter what happens, we have nothing to fear with War God Ao Rui here. Don't forget our goal!"
Once this was said, the research personnel exchanged glances with each other and stopped talking...
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena, upon hearing their conversation, had her silver eyes flicker intensely a few times...
"These people seem to be federations research personnel. It seems that the federation's purpose is not so simple, but… for now, let's continue to observe from the shadows!"
Under her watchful eye, these research personnel began to work together in a coordinated manner...
Yet, even after one to two hours, nothing significant happened...
This made Gu Yuena's mood turn anxious...
"It's already been one to two hours, and there's no sign of anything from them. It seems that I must ask them myself!"
Just as she was about to take action, she detected footsteps nearby...
"No good, someone's coming. Could it be that I have been exposed?"
Gu Yuena tried her best to conceal her presence, reducing her detectability as much as she could…
Being exposed at this time would be very bad...
She quietly looked over and saw it was the Federation Members on their scheduled patrol...
One of the Federation Members, looking puzzled towards a certain direction, scratched his head and said, "Hmm? I thought I heard something just now, did you guys hear it?"
Another Federation Member laughed and said, "What sound? You must be hearing things. We already cleared all the people from this area before we arrived."
"That's right, with a powerful fighter like War God Ao Rui here, anyone trying to infiltrate would be discovered instantly, so it wouldn't be your place to catch them."
"Even so, let's not be careless. I've heard that the Spirit Pagoda's master is very good at spatial abilities. He might have left suddenly to look for a chance to infiltrate!"
After a search, the Federation Members turned around and left without noticing anything unusual...
Only then did Gu Yuena breathe a sigh of relief, "Phew... it seems that I wasn't exposed, but they are cautious, even guessing that I might infiltrate."
If it were before, her use of spatial ability would have definitely produced great space fluctuations, and any slightly powerful Soul Master could have discovered her at once!
But now, she had managed to hide her presence so well that it was almost undetectable...
"No matter what, I need to make the most of their absence to quickly understand the federation's purpose..."
For that, using some means is unavoidable!
Thinking this, she released her frightening spiritual power toward one of the research personnel in an instant...
This unparalleled impact forcibly tore open the other's Sea of Spirit, bringing immense agony...
The latter's body suddenly jolted, then fell into a stupor...
And all the information in the mind was laid bare...
After figuring out the cause and effect, Gu Yuena propped up her chin and thoughtfully said, "So that's how it is... The federation sent these people to try and open this space!"
"And this is where Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor battled and got sucked into a black hole; Shrek Academy must be involved in this matter!"
With that thought, she did not linger any longer, immediately using her Spatial Ability to vanish from the area...
As her spiritual power disconnected, the researcher lost support and, after rolling her eyes back, collapsed onto the ground...
This action immediately caught the attention of the other researchers, who gathered around quickly...
"Hey, what's wrong with you?? Wake up!!"
"Could it be she couldn't withstand the spatial fluctuations and was knocked out by it?"
"Impossible, every one of us is wearing Three-Word Battle Armor, and we even have various Defensive Soul Guidance Devices; it's impossible that we'd be knocked out!"
"Look closely, her eyes are rolled back; it's clear she's suffered some kind of spiritual attack. Someone has infiltrated this area; we must notify War God Ao Rui immediately!"
No sooner had the words fallen than Ao Rui, sensing something amiss, hurried over...
"What happened here?"
The nearest researcher explained to him, "War God Ao Rui, she seems to have suffered a spiritual impact and suddenly collapsed unconscious; we suspect someone has secretly infiltrated here!!"
Ao Rui furrowed his brows and crouched down to examine the unconscious researcher...
In an instant, his expression changed dramatically...
He clenched his teeth and said, "You're right, she has indeed encountered a powerful spiritual assault, and even her Sea of Spirit has been forcibly torn apart; she won't be able to awaken for some time!"
"The enemy's strength is at least that of a Hyper Douluo, and they are extremely proficient in spiritual attacks!!"
Damn it, who could it be, who could have sneaked in so silently and without leaving the slightest trace...
Before this, he had not noticed anything amiss at all!
"War God Ao Rui, no need to guess, it's definitely someone from the Spirit Pagoda. I knew it; they left too easily, they unexpectedly resorted to such despicable means!!"
"The damned Spirit Pagoda, this is outright bullying, do they not care about the cooperation between the federation and the Spirit Pagoda at all?"
"War God Ao Rui, what do we do now? The enemy might still be lurking in this area!"
Ao Rui pursed his lips, his expression somewhat complex...
Indeed, this spiritual power could not belong to an ordinary soul master...
In his memory, the only one who could easily infiltrate and possess such vast spiritual power was none other than Gu Yuena!
He had not expected her to forgo launching a direct conflict from the beginning, but to rely on her strength to infiltrate...
With this, the federation's purpose for coming here must have already been discovered by her!
