Fetching Water From Bamboo Basket

Anping's words made Qiangu Dongfeng angry. He rolled his eyes at Anping and said indignantly, "How is that possible? Since our Qiangu family took over the Spirit Pagoda, we have eliminated all the families that were close to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. There is no way we would join them, let alone have any enmity with them."

Qiangu Dongfeng's words made Anping more curious. He asked doubtfully, "What's going on? The Star Luo Empire has been transferred. Does that mean something happened to the Dou Ling Empire?"

Anping's guess was reasonable. Qiangu Dongfeng had sent people to contact the senior officials of the Star Luo Empire. They were determined to follow the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so Qiangu Dongfeng had transferred the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Pagoda away. Nothing was left but an empty tower.

In other words, the Star Luo Empire had nothing to do with the Spirit Pagoda anymore. The incident in the Spirit Pagoda could not be related to the Star Luo Empire, so the only possible partner was the Dou Ling Empire.

But Qiangu Dongfeng's expression did not look right. If something had happened to the Dou Ling Empire, it should have been easy to solve. After all, they had transferred all the researchers and instruments, and the rest was not important.

Anping thought of the arrival of the Shrek Seven Monsters and asked uncertainly, "Did something happen to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters in Shrek City?"

Qiangu Dongfeng nodded and said, "The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda was invaded. The traces left behind include the database and the underground research institute. I suspect it was done by Shrek Academy. It is said that the princess of the Star Luo Empire has the Spirit Eyes martial soul."

"According to the records, before the headquarters was invaded, the Shrek Seven Devils went to the Spirit Pagoda many times to buy souls. Although the number of people varied each time, there was always someone named Dai Yun'er. And according to the staff report, Dai Yun'er wandered around the Spirit Pagoda many times out of curiosity."

Qiangu Dongfeng could not be blamed for suspecting Shrek Academy. In fact, Huo Yuhao, who also had the Spirit Eyes martial soul, had done similar things thousands of years ago, but what he used the Spirit to explore was the theft of the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire.

Otherwise, how could the Tang Sect's soul guidance technology have advanced so fast? Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent had been at war for thousands of years. There was not even a ninth-level soul engineer on Douluo Continent until Huo Yuhao. After he did that, Tang Sect became the number one arms supplier on Douluo Star.

Anping nodded slightly after hearing Qiangu Dongfeng's analysis and said, "Shrek Academy must have done it for the right reason during the federal competition. Their goal must have been the artificial soul technology, and they must have been worried about the City of Miracles and the Spirit Pagoda."

Qiangu Dongfeng agreed with Anping's view and said somewhat happily, "I think so too. Fortunately, we have transferred all the important things in the Spirit Pagoda to the City of Miracles. But they came back empty-handed this time. Will they doubt that we have joined the City of Miracles?"

Qiangu Dongfeng asked Anping if they should do something, such as stopping the sale of artificial souls to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and closing down all the Spirit Ascension Platforms.

This was the main problem that Qiangu Dongfeng faced when he came to Anping. After all, the Spirit Pagoda had nothing to lose in reality. Since Shrek Academy had done such a thing, the most important thing was whether to teach them a lesson.

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "There's no need for that. What we have to do now is to develop slowly. But we still need to teach them a lesson. The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda and the branches near Shrek City will be shut down indefinitely. The reason is that confidential documents were stolen, and we will conduct an internal review until we find the thieves."

"The other thing is to stop selling souls that are over a thousand years old. The reason is that since the Star Forest has been moved away, the research has come to a halt and we can't get the required materials. All the Spirit Ascension Platforms will be closed, and we will announce that the maintenance technology of the Spirit Ascension Platforms has been completely lost and beyond repair."

Qiangu Dongfeng had to admit that he and Anping were not ruthless enough. If they had done this earlier in the Spirit Pagoda, they would have brought down the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy long ago.

And if they followed Anping's plan, there would definitely be more soul masters willing to choose the artificial soul rings of the City of Miracles. After all, the artificial soul rings of the City of Miracles were not only cheap, but the most important thing was that they could be used as long as they practiced well. They could increase their lifespan independently, without the need for the so-called Spirit Ascension Platform.

However, if they wanted to increase their lifespan through practice, they had to meet some conditions. For this, they had to use the meditation method of the City of Miracles. Otherwise, they could only get the age limit when they got it.

Qiangu Dongfeng nodded slightly and added, "Okay, I'll give the order right now. And I'll also make it look like the Spirit Pagodas in other cities have been attacked as well, and broadcast the corresponding pictures through the media."

The reason why Qiangu Dongfeng suggested this was not to mislead the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. As long as most people in the federation believed it, it was enough.

As for whether the people from Shrek Academy would choose the artificial soul rings from the City of Miracles, both Anping and Qiangu Dongfeng thought it was impossible. After all, the technology of artificial soul rings was in the hands of the City of Miracles, and the City of Miracles was controlled by them. As enemies, they would not trust that the artificial soul ring was harmless.

After confirming the matter of the Spirit Pagoda, Anping and Qiangu Dongfeng discussed how to carry out this plan in detail, as well as the best time and extent.

At the end of the conversation, they accidentally mentioned the Shrek Seven Monsters coming to the City of Miracles for academic exchanges. Qiangu Dongfeng was a little puzzled and said, "They came for academic exchanges. Could it be that they want to replicate what Huo Yuhao did in Mingdu? If that's the case, you need to be careful."

Qiangu Dongfeng had a reason to be worried. He knew that the City of Miracles had many more secrets than the Sun Moon Empire, and they were also more important. If something went wrong, it would be a big problem.

Anping shook his head slightly and chuckled, "That's impossible. They must have come to the City of Miracles with a purpose, but they are doomed to fail."

Qiangu Dongfeng was curious when he heard Anping say that they would come back empty-handed. He asked, "Why do you say that?"

Anping explained, "You don't know something. Xiaoyan just sent me some news. The Shrek Seven Monsters chose the Miracle City Soul Master Academy for academic exchanges. They could have chosen any other one, but they picked this one. They are out of luck."
