Chapter 2387: Targeting _1
The next day!
The Federation Parliament Hall once again convened all the council members, and this time, they had also specifically invited the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion…
Of course, consent was granted…
Looking at the seated Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and council members, the leading chairman spoke with a grave expression, "All council members, as well as the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are now present, let's begin the report!"
The federation members below nodded, then spoke in a respectful tone, "Reporting to all council members and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, according to news from the front lines, the newly established defense line has been breached by the Abyssal Creature Army!"
Upon hearing this statement, the council members' faces immediately turned grim…
First, the federation was invaded by outsiders, and now the newly established defense line was breached by the Abyssal Creature Army!
They only felt their heads were about to explode!
One council member grit his teeth and said resentfully, "Damn, although we knew it was impossible to hold off the Abyssal Creature Army, we didn't expect them to break through so quickly!"
Another council member narrowed his eyes and said, "No choice, the defense line established this time was too hasty. Apart from the few War Gods from the War God Hall manning it, there are hardly any powerful fighters!"
"Indeed, if we were facing ordinary abyssal creatures, the defense line might have achieved the expected effect, but with the Abyssal Emperors taking action, it's not surprising that the line was breached instantly!"
"However, the biggest crisis is that Abyssal Emperor! So far, not a single Soul Master has been able to contend with him, and all who have fought him have been sacrificed!"
For example, Feng Wu Yu, Turbid World, and Xu Sheng of the Sea God Pavilion, three Elders, and Chen Xinjie, the Vice Hall Master of War God Hall!
And the commander of the Blood God Army, Chen Xinjie, who covered the retreat of his companions!
A total of five human powerhouses have fallen!
The chairman nodded slightly, "Yes, the council members are making sense. However, the true defense line we've established is still in preparation. We must find a way to slow down the invasion of the Abyssal Creature Army!"
If we are not fully prepared and the enemy lands a decisive blow, the chances of victory will be greatly diminished!
Qiangu Qingfeng, upon seeing this, spoke up, "Currently, both the federation's and War God Hall's main forces are unable to move, and because Shrek Academy has been attacked, there are barely any students left..."
"Why not seek aid from the other two great empires? After all, this matter concerns more than just the Soul Land!"
Once the Soul Land falls, the next would be the other two great empires!
Long Yeyue affirmed this, "Yes, I agree. The Xingluo Empire and the Douling Empire should also show some sincerity. This is not merely the responsibility of the Soul Land!"
Cai Yue'er without hesitation concurred, "I agree too. The other two great empires should have been aware of the Abyssal Creature Army breaking the seal, but they have not made any moves, not even sending a single reinforcement!"
Lan Muzi spoke in a deep voice, "In the face of such major right and wrong, the conflicts between empires should be set aside!"
Tang Wulin, however, frowned and said, "Wait a minute… Although the federation's main forces are responsible for building the defense line, couldn't Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda be mobilized?"
He felt that Qiangu Qingfeng was deliberately excluding Spirit Pagoda, whether intentionally or unintentionally!
No, it should be said there was a deliberate target, and he wondered if it was just his imagination!
Qiangu Qingfeng showed a surprised expression, then said, "Hall Master Tang is the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect, I naturally believe that Tang Sect will not stand by idly!"
"However, after the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda left, there have been no changes within Spirit Pagoda. I suspect they harbor ulterior motives!"
Tang Wulin spoke in a firm voice, "Perhaps, Spirit Pagoda also needs some internal adjustments!"
His intuition was correct; Qiangu Qingfeng was indeed purposely targeting Spirit Pagoda—or rather, Gu Yue!
Seeing this, Wu Changkong next to him whispered in a voice only he could hear, "Wulin, Qiangu Qingfeng used to be the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, but after some conflicts, he joined the federation."
"Moreover, he has been claiming that the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda is linked to ferocious beasts, hiding unspeakable secrets between them!"
```
Upon hearing everything, Tang Wulin immediately pieced it all together…
When Di Tian had fought with him, hadn't he also mentioned that Tang Wulin's existence had interfered with their plans?
Could it be that Qiangu Qingfeng was not slandering the Spirit Pagoda?
Thinking this, his gaze towards Qiangu Qingfeng became somewhat complex…
Qiangu Qingfeng furrowed his brows. "Hall Master Tang, do you have any objections to what I've said?"
He always felt that there was a subtle change in the way the other party looked at him!
Could it be because the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yue, was his partner, and held a grudge against him?
Thinking this way, the possibility seemed quite high!
Tang Wulin shook his head, negating the thought, "No, I have no objections. Please continue, Vice Chairman!"
Although somewhat puzzled, Qiangu Qingfeng did not think too much about it and continued, "Since Hall Master Tang has no objections, I think I should be able to represent the attitudes of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect!"
"Then, we must immediately request aid from the other two great empires!"
…
Upon receiving the federation's request for assistance, Dai Yueyan, the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, was also very surprised.
"The federation is actually initiating a request for assistance with other powers? Has the situation become so dire?"
En Ci, standing beside him, nodded slightly. "Your Majesty, according to information from our sources infiltrated into Douluo Continent, in just a few days, several defense lines have been breached by the Abyssal Creature Army!"
The ministers present also exchanged glances, seeing dissatisfaction in each other's eyes…
This was Douluo Continent's problem, what did it have to do with the Xingluo Empire?
They all began to speak, "Your Majesty, our Xingluo Empire has just eradicated the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult; this is an excellent time for full-force development, we should not get involved in this matter!"
"That's right, the federation and the other forces are so strong, if even they cannot withstand the invasion, any forces we send from the Xingluo Empire would be just throwing lives away."
"This is a good opportunity to weaken the overall strength of Douluo Continent, Your Majesty should consider it carefully!"
"Hmph, when our Xingluo Empire faced trouble, we did not see any forces other than Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect coming to our aid!"
Dai Yueyan took a deep breath, "But… if we stand by and do nothing, once the Abyssal Creature Army swallows up Douluo Continent, the next ones would be Xingluo Empire and the Douling Empire!"
En Ci stated affirmatively, "Exactly, if even the federation cannot resist, our Xingluo Empire, I'm afraid…"
Especially that Abyssal Emperor, who is said to have killed several Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
If I faced him, I'm afraid the result would be the same!
Dai Yueyan looked at En Ci and asked, "Imperial Tutor, in your opinion, what should the Xingluo Empire do?"
The current Douluo Continent was too chaotic, with the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, abyssal creatures, the ulterior-motived Spirit Pagoda, the obliterated Shrek Academy…
He didn't know how to make a choice.
En Ci closed his profound eyes, "Your Majesty, when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; this is the simplest truth!"
That statement already expressed his stance!
