Chapter 2726 Damage_1
Cai Yue'er took another deep breath and changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that the Spirit Pagoda took the initiative to provoke the federation. What exactly happened?"
Hearing this, the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion exchanged glances, each seeing the confusion in one another's eyes…
Ya Li quickly pressed for an answer, "Elder Cai, where did you get this information? I haven't heard anything about it!"
Yuan En Zhentian nodded his head, indicating he was also unaware. "Yes, I haven't heard anything either. Did something happen between the Spirit Pagoda and the federation?"
Cai Yue'er paused, then explained, "It seems that I was too worried about Wulin and the others to mention it!"
"This morning, led by Leng Yaozhu, the Spirit Pagoda dispatched a considerable number of Mechas and members to the Federation Headquarters!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ya Li exclaimed, "What? The Spirit Pagoda sent a large number of Mechas and members directly to the Federation Headquarters? Does that mean the two sides are preparing for war?"
Yuan En Zhentian agreed, "Yes, by doing this, the Spirit Pagoda is clearly being provocative, and a conflict is indeed possible!"
Although Shrek Academy is not the same as before, if these two powers really went to war, there would also be civilians and Soul Masters from Soul Land coming to report...
But until now, it was eerily quiet!
Cai Yue'er sighed, "Exactly, that's why I'm worried!"
Yuan En Zhentian propped up his chin, pondered for a moment, and then stood up, "In that case, Elder Cai, Elder Ya Li, I will represent the academy and go check the federation!"
"If something has happened, we should be prepared!"
After all, it involves Soul Land, and we cannot neglect it!
Ya Li looked at Cai Yue'er with an inquiring gaze, who naturally understood and expressed her thanks...
"Then we'll have to trouble Elder Yuan'en. As for the academy, Elder Ya Li and I will be here to watch over it at all times!"
Although those "teachers" sent by the federation hadn't done anything odd, we couldn't rule out the possibility that they want us to lower our guard!
"Alright, then there's no time to waste; I'll set off now!"
With those words, Yuan En Zhentian didn't linger any longer, and immediately left the Sea God's Pavilion, heading towards the federation...
It was only then that Cai Yue'er changed her previously serious expression and stared at Ya Li...
Suddenly, she asked, "Elder Ya Li, you looked a bit off earlier, is there something you haven't told us?"
Ya Li's expression changed subtly, "No… nothing, why would you think that?"
However, Cai Yue'er, who saw through everything, chose not to continue pressing, "Well, if you're unwilling to share, I suppose you must feel it's not yet the right time!"
"I'm going to check on the children now!"
Witnessing her leave, Ya Li just softly "Hmm"-ed…
Indeed, there were things she wanted to say, but clearly, the time wasn't right!
…
Federation!
The several powerhouses responsible for capturing the invaders returned to the Council Hall...
The Chairman asked urgently, "What's the outcome? Have you captured the invaders?"
The man at the forefront swallowed and answered, "Chairman, we've captured the invaders, but it seems they didn't want to be interrogated and took their own lives!"
"Not only that, these so-called invaders were all internal members of our federation!!"
Hearing this, the Chairman clenched his fists and said coldly, "So you mean to say, the Spirit Pagoda gathered all the agents hidden within the federation and ordered them to destroy the God-killing soul-guided missiles at any cost!"
With the invaders dead, that's as good as losing the evidence. We cannot hold the Spirit Pagoda accountable!
It seemed he had thought of something else, "Right, about that God-killing soul-guided missile…"
The man, full of regret, replied, "I'm sorry, Chairman. By the time we got there, it was too late. The God-killing soul-guided missile had already been damaged beyond repair!"
"Thump!"
The Chairman's complexion turned ashen as he slumped down onto a chair…
A wordless despair emanated from his being…
The other Federation powerhouses also bowed their heads, clearly understanding what this signified!
Still, the Chairman couldn't help but add, "Is there really no way to repair it?"
He quickly received an affirmative answer…
"Yes, Chairman! The God-killing soul-guided missile is irreparable!"
The Chairman, lost in a daze, waved his hand dismissively, "I understand, you all may leave!!"
These Federation powerhouses seemed to want to say something, but they closed their mouths and left…
Without the God-killing soul-guided missile, the Federation would completely lose any means to contain the Spirit Pagoda!!
As the Chairman, the pressure he had to admit was incomparable!
Any misstep in the subsequent decisions could bring an unforeseeable disaster to the Federation!!
Even annihilation was not out of the question!
When he was left alone, the Chairman's expression turned ferocious and frightening…
He fiercely banged his fist on the round table and roared, "Leng Yaozhu, did you go to great lengths to destroy the God-killing soul-guided missile because you anticipated that the Federation would employ it??"
He was certain that the plan to destroy the God-killing soul-guided missile was not something that had been devised recently!
The most likely scenario was that preparations were made while amassing Soul Masters on a grand scale!!
"No, I mustn't lose judgment because of this; I need to stay calm, calm…"
His emotions began to stabilize soon afterward…
"I must think of a way to salvage this; while I don't know when the Spirit Pagoda will start an upheaval, there is no doubt that the Federation will be the primary target!!"
At the same time, a Federation member suddenly burst into the Council Hall and bowed to report, "Rep…Report, Chairman, Elder Yuan'en from Shrek Academy requests an audience!"
The Chairman narrowed his eyes, "Elder Yuan'en?"
Was it Yuan En Zhentian?
He had heard of him; the man had taken the initiative to lead the Yuan En Clan to join the Shrek Academy!
But, considering the attack from the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master, there were likely only he and his granddaughter, Yuanen Yehui, left in the clan.
He promptly stated, "Let him in!"
"Yes! Chairman!"
It wasn't long before Yuan En Zhentian was brought into the Council Hall…
As he looked at the Chairman, he calmly said, "Chairman, I apologize for the intrusion; I beg your pardon!"
The Chairman didn't show any particular reaction, "Elder Yuan'en, you flatter me. I wonder, did the teachers sent by the Federation to your academy provide any assistance?"
Despite asking this, his heart had already guessed what it might be about…
Yuan En Zhentian answered truthfully, "Of course, it is thanks to these teachers sent by the Federation that Shrek Academy has made such smooth progress!"
The Chairman nodded slightly, "That's good to hear. However, Elder Yuan'en's visit isn't about this matter, right?"
Yuan En Zhentian neither confirmed nor denied, "Indeed, my main reason for coming to the Federation is to inquire about the incident that occurred this morning!"
