Seeing that Ao Rui did not respond for a long time, someone finally couldn't help asking, "War God Ao Rui, please say something. What should we do? Should we search this area again?"

Ao Rui took a deep breath and stood up again, "There is no need for that, as the opponent's goal has been achieved, and they must have left, leaving no traces behind."

"Conducting a large-scale search now will only disrupt my arrangements, as well as expose the purpose of our trip!"

Confused, the former inquired, "Then what do you mean??"

Ao Rui, with an unchanged expression, responded, "Proceed with the original plan. The fact that they did not kill them suggests they do not wish to completely offend the federation!"

The person who had been subjected to the spiritual attack had their Spirit Sea torn open, but there was no danger to their life!

At most, they would be left with some shadows in the future!

Upon receiving this reply, the researchers all hung their heads in frustration and resentment...

"War God Ao Rui, are we really going to do nothing? This is too suffocating!"

"Yes, War God Ao Rui, the opponent dared to harm our people right in front of you, blatantly disregarding the federation. We absolutely cannot let this go!"

"War God Ao Rui, didn't you say you could protect us? Now that someone has been injured, how can we just let the perpetrator go!"

After hearing all this, Ao Rui fell silent...

The people before him were the elites of the federation. Ignoring their demands could lead to significant repercussions, so it was better to appease them for the time being!

He then spoke to reassure them, "Rest assured, everyone. Since they dared to lay hands on my federation's people, this matter will certainly not be dropped. I, Ao Rui, will personally investigate it."

"However, for now, we should prioritize the overall situation!!"

With this reply, the researchers' emotions finally eased somewhat...

"Since War God Ao Rui has said so, we have no objections!!"

Immediately after, their gazes shifted to the unconscious woman...

He commanded sternly, "Someone, ensure that this injured researcher is safely sent back to the federation to recuperate, without any negligence!"

"Yes, War God Ao Rui!!"

...

Spirit Pagoda!

Feeling a familiar presence, Bi Ji turned around and called into the empty space ahead, "My lord, you have returned!"

"Hmm"

As the voice sounded, Gu Yuena's figure also emerged from the space...

Seeing this, Bi Ji continued, "My lord, forgive my boldness in asking, but did you infiltrate those ruins?"

After all, with War God Ao Rui from the War God Hall present, there was a considerable risk of exposure!

Gu Yuena was not surprised by this query, "It seems Bi Ji you already guessed it, yes, I personally infiltrated those ruins!"

"Fortunately, Ao Rui's spiritual power does not seem to be particularly strong, and he did not detect my presence!"

Bi Ji generously praised, "Naturally, with the strength of your spiritual power, no one in the human world can surpass you!"

"It's just, did you find out the federation's purpose for this operation?"

"The ruins were heavily guarded, so I had to use a certain method"

...

Feeling the onlookers' gazes becoming intensely expectant, Tang Wulin swallowed hard and cautiously said, "I am indeed a Forging Master, is there a problem with that?"

Blood Seven, licking his lips, sinisterly said, "No... no problem, that's very good, very good indeed!"

Blood Five also offered a weird smile, "I thought your talent in cultivation was already quite impressive, but I didn't expect you to be a Forging Master as well, truly surprising!!"

Blood Eight's expression did not change, obviously, she had already known that Tang Wulin was a Forging Master!

Blood Three glanced slightly at Blood Seven and Blood Five, and asked in a mild tone, "Little Wulin, since you are a Forging Master, what can you currently forge?"

She was very curious at heart. If the opponent was so talented in cultivation, to what extent could he reach in forging!

Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, "I am currently a Saint Craftsmith and have the capability to forge Three-Word Battle Armor; however, because my soul power rank has not yet reached Soul Douluo."

To tell the truth, he had indeed been frightened by the atmosphere just now!

After all, the kind of look that Blood Seven and Blood Five had, was like a big grey wolf eyeing its prey! Shining bright!

Upon hearing this, including Blood Eight, all the Blood Gods were stunned...

They all doubted they heard correctly. The Tang Wulin before them was actually a Saint Craftsmith!!

Blood Four couldn't help but praise, "A Saint Craftsmith, capable of forging Three-Word Battle Armor, you are really impressive!!"

Blood Five chimed in, "Yeah, it seems that there hasn't been such a young Saint Craftsmith on the Continent yet, not even Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua at his young age reached this level!"

Blood Seven put her hands on her hips, laughing loudly, "Hahahaha, this is a good thing. Once this kid has grown up, we can have all our forging needs handled by him!"

Blood Nine's gaze flickered, "Stop talking, I have already thought of how to exploit him, like… since he just joined the Blood God Camp, shouldn't he give each of us a welcoming gift!"

Blood Eight suddenly spoke up, "I have no objections!"

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, hesitatingly said, "Well, I indeed haven't prepared a gift for everyone, just wait…"

Before he could finish, Blood Three interrupted him, "Little Wulin, don't mind them. If anyone comes to you for forging in the future, charge them as you normally would! There are no rules that you have to serve anyone!"

A warm current surged in Tang Wulin's heart again, and he gratefully said, "I understand, then everyone, I will take my leave first!"

...

Afterwards, Tang Wulin returned to the Special Service Department, and the soldiers assigned to guard duty noticed him; they intended to greet him...

But they realized his shoulder badge was completely different, representing that he was now a Major General!

Thus, they all gave a serious military salute!

"Good day, Officer!"

Tang Wulin opened his mouth to say something, but eventually just let out a quiet sigh...

Just then, Jiang Wuyue, who had happened to come to the Special Service Department, also noticed him immediately...

He draped an arm around his shoulders, teasingly said, "Yo, after you went to the Blood God Camp, I thought you weren't coming back. Tang Wulin, Major General or should I say officer?"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin chuckled, "Officer Jiang, you jest!"

Jiang Wuyue removed his arm from around his shoulders, shaking his head said, "Forget it, now you are the officer. Just call me Wuyue!"

Calling oneself Officer Jiang had been fine before Tang Wulin became a Major General!

But now that he was a Major General, able to sit evenly with Long Tianwu, calling himself an officer would be turning things topsy-turvy!

Tang Wulin obviously understood this point and changed his response, "Then I'll just call you Brother Jiang, shall I?"

Jiang Wuyue raised an eyebrow, pondering, "Hmm, that's not bad!"

Only then Tang Wulin continued, "So Brother Jiang, did you come to find Long Zhang... Yuxue?"
