The others followed Yuanen Yehui's gaze and promptly spotted a familiar figure...
Guo Xiaoxu said with a puzzled face, "Wulin and the others are actually unharmed! But... how did they get out? We clearly didn't see a trace of them!"
Yue Zhengyu pondered, "I'm afraid it's all thanks to Xie Xie. Don't forget, his Martial Soul is the Space-Time Dragon, capable of using Spatial Ability. Only that can live up to the title!"
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, "Hmm, even though Xie Xie has never shown his Spatial Ability, it doesn't mean he doesn't have it!"
Liang Xiaoyu suddenly interrupted the conversation, turning his gaze forward, "Regardless, it's good that Wulin is fine. Right now, we should focus on ourselves, those guys are coming again!!"
With those words, they began dodging once more...
Seeing that Tang Wulin hadn't been killed, the Ghost Emperor's eyes darkened a bit...
He thought to himself, "What a troublesome bunch, one of them can even use Spatial Ability, and with my spiritual power, I can't sense them immediately!"
But no matter, they might have escaped, but what about these so-called comrades?
Similarly, Ye Xinglan and several ferocious beasts, who guarded Gu Yuena, were surprised by the sudden appearance of Tang Wulin and Xie Xie...
They each exclaimed, "When did this kid get to our side? We didn't sense him at all!"
"It would be odd if you did sense him. It's clear he used Spatial Ability, otherwise, he couldn't have escaped that far in an instant!"
"I didn't expect that besides our Lord, three members of the Shrek Seven Monsters could use Spatial Ability!"
Ye Xinglan also looked at the two and asked in confusion, "Xie Xie, Wulin, how did you appear beside me?"
Tang Wulin was startled for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, explain, I don't understand what happened!"
The latter coughed, "It's very simple, I showed up and then I saved you!"
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, "I know you saved me, but what exactly happened just now?? Why did we suddenly appear here!"
Xie Xie said with a sigh, "Well, it all started when my Martial Soul evolved..."
Ye Xinglan quickly interrupted, "Keep it short! We don't have time for your stories now!"
Xie Xie smiled awkwardly and explained seriously, "I've been working on developing my Martial Soul's spatial aspect and have created a soul skill that allows for rapid travel through space."
Ye Xinglan frowned slightly, "Then why haven't you used it before? Don't tell me you were hiding it."
Xie Xie glared at her, "Hiding it? The reason is I'm not yet able to fully control this soul skill, the failure rate is incredibly low!"
"Like this time, if it weren't for good luck and no errors occurred, otherwise, I would've been courting death!"
Tang Wulin was dumbfounded, "So you mean to say, Xie Xie, you went to save me with the readiness to die?"
Xie Xie patted his shoulder, "What of it, we are brothers who have gone through life and death together. Of course, I would do the same for any member of the Shrek Seven Monsters!"
Tang Wulin was about to say something when Gu Yuena nearby suddenly emitted a strong Soul Power Aura...
Ye Xinglan exclaimed, "Such a powerful Soul Power Aura, is Gu Yue about to awaken??"
Xie Xie nodded, "Seems like it, but the opponent is a God. What does Gu Yue plan to do in the confrontation?"
Tang Wulin, however, turned around, staring intently at the Ghost Emperor not far away, "Let's not worry about that for now, Xing Lan, Xie Xie, be on your guard! The Ghost Emperor seems to have noticed something is amiss!"
Indeed, not far away, the Ghost Emperor sensed the soul power fluctuation released by Gu Yuena...
He also locked his gaze onto her...
Then revealed a cold smile, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why you were not counterattacking but intentionally dragging out the time. It seems this woman has given you confidence!"
"Very well, I'll personally destroy your hopes!!"
...
After the Council Members led Leng Yaozhu to the Council Hall, the leading Chairman said softly, "Lord of the Cold Tower, please."
The latter didn't put on airs and immediately found a seat to sit down...
Seeing this, the rest sat down one by one...
Taking a deep breath, the Chairman decided to get straight to the point, "Then, Lord of the Cold Tower, can you explain why you led so many Spirit Pagoda Members to the federation?"
Leng Yaozhu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Chairman, don't misunderstand. The reason I brought so many Spirit Pagoda Members is that I felt it was a sign of respect to the federation, with no hostility intended!"
The Chairman looked directly at her, "Is that so? It seems that the Lord of the Cold Tower has really gone to great lengths!"
Although these were words of praise, the anger hidden within them was not concealed...
Leng Yaozhu acted as if she didn't catch the implication and casually said, "Chairman, you're too kind. The Spirit Pagoda and the federation, both being superpowers of the Soul Land, naturally need to respect each other!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than one of the council members, unable to stand her approach, scolded her right away, "Leng Yaozhu, do you think everyone else is a fool? The federation isn't a place you can just come and go as you please! Sending so many Mechas and Spirit Pagoda Members is clearly a provocation to us!!"
Leng Yaozhu continued to smile lightly, "I'm a bit puzzled by what this Council Member means. Maybe the Chairman can explain?"
The former widened his eyes, "You..."
The Chairman glared at him and scolded, "Shut up!"
Then he turned to the other council members and commanded, "The rest of you may leave. I will discuss this matter privately with the Lord of the Cold Tower!"
Having these council members present would only put him at a disadvantage!
The council members looked at each other, understood his intention, and left promptly without further discussion...
When only the Chairman and Leng Yaozhu were left in the Council Hall...
The former finally said coldly, "Leng Yaozhu, now that it's just the two of us, there's no need for those grandiose words."
"Why did you bring people from the Spirit Pagoda to our federation, to start a war perhaps?"
Leng Yaozhu also changed her previous attitude and questioned, "When asking such a question, shouldn't the Chairman first consider what the federation has done?"
The Chairman's pupils shrank, "As expected, even if we block the news, the Spirit Pagoda still got the information. It seems you have planted many pieces within the federation!"
Leng Yaozhu still replied with a counter-question, "The same goes for you, Chairman. Can you confidently say that the Spirit Pagoda doesn't have people from the federation?"
The Chairman was momentarily stunned by the retort, but quickly continued, "So what if you know? The federation has already decided to release the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile against the Spirit Pagoda!!"
Leng Yaozhu was not at all afraid, "So, is the federation disregarding the well-being of more than seventy percent of the Soul Masters of the Soul Land?"
"If we did not have these Soul Masters, do you think the Soul Land would be attacked by the other two great empires?"
