Federation
A Federation Soldier stepped into the hall, urgently reporting, "Report, Hall Master Guan, outside of the Federation Headquarters, Sect Master Zang of the Tang Sect and the Elders of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion request an audience!!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue showed a slightly surprised expression, "Oh? Sect Master Zang and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have both come??"
Under the conflict between the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda, the other forces had not made a clear choice!
And now, representatives from both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had come together!!
The former, upon hearing this, nodded and echoed, "Yes, Hall Master Guan, what shall we do??"
Guan Yue glanced at him, "What do you mean 'what shall we do'? Hurry up and let Sect Master Zang and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion in, or else, we may be perceived as lacking manners by the Federation!"
This member of the Federation naturally did not dare to disobey his order, "Yes, Hall Master Guan, but... should we notify the other War Gods??"
The fact that representatives from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had come together likely meant this was no trivial matter and perhaps required the other War Gods to come for a discussion!
Guan Yue hesitated for a moment, then dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand, "No need, if necessary, I will inform the other War Gods."
The former, having received the answer, gestured and then turned to leave...
After a while, a group led by Zang Xin stepped in...
His gaze immediately found Guan Yue, who had been waiting there, and he spoke first, "Hall Master Guan, it's been a long time!"
The latter chuckled lightly and replied, "What are you talking about, Sect Master Zang? Didn't we just see each other through the communicator not long ago?"
Using a communicator for projection was no longer a rare technology!
Then, turning her gaze to Cai Yue'er and the other Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion, she smiled lightly and said, "And welcome to the Federation, esteemed Elders."
Cai Yue'er's expression remained unchanged as she casually replied, "Hall Master Guan, forgive the intrusion, please!"
The rest of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion merely nodded as a gesture...
Guan Yue then jested, "Elder Cai jests; having you all grace the Federation is an honor for this Hall Master!"
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips and interrupted, "Hall Master Guan, let's dispense with the pleasantries. We have come here with a matter we wish to discuss with you!"
Guan Yue nodded, then turned to inquire of Zang Xin, "Is that so? But with Sect Master Zang also coming along, could it be for the same matter?"
Zang Xin did not deny it and confirmed, "Indeed, we are here for the same purpose!"
Guan Yue didn't rush to ask, but suggested instead, "Well then, why don't we all go to the Council Hall to talk about it?"
"There are too many eyes and ears here. If someone with intentions hears us, it could bring significant trouble!"
By 'someone with intentions,' he naturally meant spies from the Spirit Pagoda planted inside the Federation!
Zang Xin and Cai Yue'er exchanged glances, and both nodded in agreement...
"Alright, then please lead the way, Hall Master Guan!!"
The upcoming discussion, if leaked, would indeed allow the Spirit Pagoda to prepare!!
Guan Yue then extended his hand in invitation, "Of course, this way, please!"
Having said that, he began to walk toward the Council Hall...
Seeing this, everyone promptly followed...
...
After everyone had taken their seats in the Council Hall, Zang Xin urgently spoke up, "Hall Master Guan, now that we've arrived at the Council Hall, can we start the discussion?"
Elder Cai Yue'er and the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, although silent, were filled with impatience in their eyes...
Clearly, they didn't understand why Guan Yue would want to delay!
Guan Yue wiped her forehead and explained, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I have just notified all the War Gods. It would be best to formally discuss matters after their arrival!"
"After all, these War Gods also have the right to be informed!"
Upon hearing this, the others had no choice but to acquiesce...
As expected, a few minutes later, the War Gods from the War God Hall had all arrived here. They gestured briefly before taking their respective seats...
Although they didn't know what the current situation was, the fact that people from Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had taken the initiative to come meant it was no small matter!
Seeing this, Guan Yue then said, "Now that everyone is here, let us officially begin!"
"First of all, for what specific matter have you come to the federation?"
Zang Xin, without any hesitation, got straight to the point, "We are here because of the God-killing soul-guided missile!"
Guan Yue was not surprised by this and asked for more details, "God-killing soul-guided missile? Sect Master Zang, please elaborate."
She certainly didn't assume that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were interested in the God-killing soul-guided missiles!
Zang Xin looked her in the eye and said word by word, "The defensive line established by the cooperation between Tang Sect and the federation has already expelled most of the Spirit Pagoda Members from the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System!"
"For this reason, I personally believe that the federation can now use the God-killing soul-guided missile against the Spirit Pagoda; this way, the range of damage would be minimized!"
With the protection of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System around, it is possible to target only the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!!
After hearing this statement, Guan Yue neither explicitly refused nor accepted...
She said in a deep voice, "Indeed, with the help of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System, the damage inflicted on Soul Land by the God-killing soul-guided missile would be minimized!"
"But that is only the ideal scenario!"
Zang Xin detected the implication and frowned, "Hall Master Guan, what do you mean by that comment? Are you doubting the Soul Array Defense System?"
Guan Yue shook her head, denying, "No, of course not! I certainly believe in the authenticity of the Soul Array Defense System; after all, it is also the culmination of Tang Sect's technology!"
"However, since the creation of this defense system, there has been no data indicating that it can completely withstand the energy released by the explosion of a God-killing soul-guided missile!"
"That is to say, everything close to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters could still potentially be subjected to a catastrophic strike!"
Zang Xin's expression turned ugly, "Hall Master Guan, aren't you still doubting the Soul Array Defense System?"
Just as Guan Yue was about to explain, Elder Cai Yue'er, who understood it all, spoke up first, "Sect Master Zang, I think Hall Master Guan is right in her concerns!"
Zang Xin's expression darkened even more, "Elder Cai, what do you mean by that? Are you also doubting..."
Before he could finish, Cai Yue'er immediately interjected, "No, it's not doubt. It's just a recognition that the force produced by the explosion of a God-killing soul-guided missile is extremely powerful. Even if it can be resisted, it's impossible that there won't be any impact on the surroundings!"
"Hall Master Guan is probably just worried about innocent Soul Masters and civilians near the Spirit Pagoda headquarters being affected!"
Guan Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and concurred, "What Elder Cai said is exactly what I wanted to express!!"
If the Soul Array Defense System could truly perfectly withstand a God-killing soul-guided missile, then Tang Sect ought to be able to create even more powerful soul tools!
