Chapter 2799: Probing_1

Spirit Pagoda!

At that moment, ferocious beasts like Di Tian were all standing in front of Gu Yuena...

One could see the latter coldly asking, "Is the matter taken care of?"

Di Tian replied truthfully, "My lord, the information has been successfully spread. By now, every power on the Soul Land Continent, including the Douling Empire, should have heard the rumor!"

Gu Yuena sighed with relief, "Well done, but don't be complacent. The ones spreading the message might betray us!"

Di Tian's eyes flashed with a golden light as he assured her confidently, "Don't worry, my lord. Those responsible for spreading the message have been erased from this world!"

Therefore, even if the great powers were to investigate the source of this intelligence, they would never trace it back to the Spirit Pagoda!

Of course, there would certainly be suspicions!

Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment, as if wanting to say something, but eventually shook her head, repressing her underlying thoughts...

Bi Ji, perceiving her leader's mindset, added, "My lord, the human who spread the message committed many evils and deserved to die!"

Indeed, the hesitation on Gu Yuena's face vanished, "Is that so, then that's good... Even if it's for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan, there's no need to kill the innocent unnecessarily!"

In her view, reviving the Soul Beast Clan was not about eradicating humanity...

Because another form of herself from the past wouldn't allow her to do so!

Bi Ji did not rebut, but asked again, "My lord, what should we do next? The Douling Empire will likely take action very soon!"

Gu Yuena propped her chin and contemplated, "For now, the Spirit Pagoda doesn't need to do anything. We just have to keep a close watch on the federation and wait for the impending battle with the Ghost Emperor!"

All plans could only proceed after eliminating the Ghost Emperor and the evil Soul Masters that followed him!

Disappointment flashed across Bi Ji's face, "I see... I thought my lord had a deeper meaning in deliberately spreading this message."

It turned out to be a mere ploy to attract the attention of other powers and the Douling Empire!!

However, Di Tian felt it necessary to report something he noticed...

"My lord, based on my observation, there's something off about the federation lately!"

"Of course, it could just be my personal feeling!"

Gu Yuena was quite curious, "Di Tian, what do you mean by your words?"

The other ferocious beasts also turned their gazes toward him...

They hadn't sensed anything wrong with the federation; on the contrary, its calmness was rather reassuring.

Di Tian took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, not long ago, I secretly dispatched several Spirit Pagoda Members to infiltrate the Federation Headquarters and unexpectedly discovered a strange situation!"

"That is, the soldiers guarding the Federation Headquarters have been significantly reduced!"

"Under normal circumstances, every part of the Federation Headquarters would be heavily guarded. It shouldn't be like this!"

Gu Yuena seemed to grasp the seriousness as well and pressed, "Di Tian, are you certain of this??"

Di Tian hesitated for a moment before replying, "The reports from the Spirit Pagoda Members who infiltrated the federation are consistent. There should be no mistake!"

Gu Yuena was also puzzled for a moment, "That's strange, the ordinary federation soldiers have even left their headquarters unguarded. Could there be something more important than this?"

Her eyes suddenly flickered, evidently hitting upon a critical point...

...

Inside the abyssal plane!

The Federation officer in command of this place shouted, "Everyone hurry up. These materials are vitally important to the federation; we cannot afford any mistakes!"

Upon hearing this, hundreds of Federation Members immediately increased the output frequency of their soul tools, excavating the ground beneath them like a windstorm overturning clouds...

Soon, many precious metal materials were exposed on the surface...

Then, another group of Federation Members, specifically responsible for recovery, quickly activated their Mechas and transported all these metal materials back to the federation...

```

However, even so, this federation official was still somewhat dissatisfied…

Frowning, he said, "No, the speed is still too slow. To produce the God-slaying level soul cannonballs we need, it will take at least a few months to excavate the required metal materials!"

The Ghost Emperor has already appeared in the Douling Empire, and the federation currently cannot wait that long!

Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and he said joyfully, "That's right... we can use those soul tools!"

However, he still needed to seek the agreement of the council members; otherwise, if the responsibility fell on him, he wouldn't be able to bear it!!

Immediately, he promptly called the federation headquarters...

Before long, the call was answered, and a very steady voice came through...

"Hello?"

The former immediately replied, "Chairman, it's me!"

Upon hearing this sentence, the chairman did not waste words and directly asked, "Is there a problem with the abyss?"

He had specifically instructed that unless it was an important matter, do not make contact!

To avoid being eavesdropped on!

After gathering his thoughts, the man replied, "Chairman, everything is well in the abyssal plane currently, it's just that with the current speed of excavation, to gather enough precious materials to manufacture the God-slaying level soul-guided missiles, it will also take at least a few months!"

"Moreover, with the Ghost Emperor appearing in the Douling Empire, the federation doesn't have much time left!"

Over the phone, the chairman remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again, "So, you contacted me specially just for this?"

The former did not deny it but continued, "Yes, I personally believe we should use more powerful soul weapons to carry out widespread bombardment on the surface. By doing so, the excavation speed would be several times faster!!"

The chairman decisively rejected the proposal, "No, that would destroy the properties of these precious metals and affect the plan!"

The man did not give up, but pleaded again, "But Chairman, we really do not have much time left. If we continue to delay, let alone use God-slaying level soul-guided missiles to deal with the Spirit Pagoda"

"Whether we can withstand the Ghost Emperor and the attacks of evil Soul Masters is another matter altogether!!!"

However, he still received an unyielding denial.

"No means no, this is an order!!"

…

Sighing deeply after terminating the communication, the chairman couldn't help himself...

How could he not know that time was of the essence? Although he wanted to agree, he had to be responsible for the entire federation!

Once these precious materials were damaged, not to mention whether the resources in the abyssal plane would be sufficient...

Just the time needed to re-excavate would take much longer!!

This could lead to the failure of the entire plan!

So, it is better to be slower rather than taking such self-destructive actions!!

However, in the next second, something that gave him an even bigger headache happened...

"Chairman, it's terrible, something major has happened!"

"Just now, people from the Spirit Pagoda arrived outside the federation headquarters!!"

The federation soldier that barged in reported the situation quickly…

This made the chairman's expression change drastically, and through gritted teeth, he said, "Damn Spirit Pagoda, do they really think the federation is a place they can just enter as they please??"
