Federation!
Council Hall!
The Chairman looked at the Guan Yue before him and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you, Hall Master Guan, to come as well!"
In his impression, the Battle God Hall's hall master spent most of his time inside the hall and seldom took the initiative to leave!
Yueguan chuckled lightly and said, "This concerns the fate of the federation; the War Gods and council members are all present, so naturally, I should be here too!"
Ao Rui, who was beside him, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if there is a problem with the federation, the War God Hall cannot continue to operate!"
Most of the War God Hall's resources came from the federation...
One could say that their fortunes were linked; they thrive or decline together!
The Chairman extended his hand and said, "Well, Hall Master Guan, and this War God, please take your seats!"
Since a War God from the War God Hall was participating in this meeting, he must explain some matters in greater detail!
Upon hearing this, both Guan Yue and Ao Rui quickly took their seats...
The Chairman took a deep breath and began again, "So..."
But before he could finish, Guan Yue suddenly spoke up and interrupted...
He pointed at the man tied up not far away and said with confusion, "Wait, who is that bound fellow?"
In such an important meeting, the appearance of such a comical incident was surely no simple matter!
The War God who had personally captured the man leaned in and explained, "Hall Master Guan, this is a spy that I caught earlier. He has been hiding in a corner eavesdropping since the meeting started and was discovered by us!"
The reason he wasn't detected by spiritual power was simple: he carried a soul tool that shielded from spiritual perception, which was not unusual!
Guan Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Then after the meeting, we must interrogate him thoroughly!"
Without a doubt, this spy was likely from the Spirit Pagoda!
Only that power is currently very concerned about the movements of the federation!
The War God sneered and said, "Rest assured, Hall Master Guan. After the meeting, I will personally interrogate him. I guarantee he will spill everything he knows!"
With numerous interrogation techniques at his disposal, there's no way a mere Soul Master who hasn't even attained the Soul King level could withstand it!
Guan Yue nodded and then turned to look at the Chairman, "Chairman, my apologies for the interruption. Please continue."
The Chairman also regained his composure and began summarizing the current situation...
...
It wasn't until the end that Yueguan reflected and said, "Chairman, are you saying that in just about one or two months' time, the God-killing soul-guided missile will be developed?"
The Chairman affirmed, "Indeed, not only that, before its development, this missile has already locked on to the Spirit Pagoda. The moment it is completed, it will be launched immediately!"
In this way, the Spirit Pagoda would not be given any chance to catch its breath!!
Guan Yue hesitated for a moment, then prepared to raise another question...
However, the Chairman, as if having anticipated his thoughts, spoke first, "Hall Master Guan, you must be concerned about the Spirit Pagoda Members being protected by the Soul-guided Defensive Array System, right?"
"Regarding this matter, the federation has already had in-depth discussions with Tang Sect and established a complete united front, ready to use force to expel Spirit Pagoda Members!"
After the plan was initiated, the number of Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples within the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System significantly decreased!
Only a handful remained, but it wouldn't take long to completely clear them out!!
However, Guan Yue's gaze was still filled with concern, showing no signs of easing...
This inevitably made the Chairman doubt if he had misjudged the other's intentions, and he couldn't help but remind, "Hall Master Guan??"
Yueguan came back to his senses and explained, "Chairman, although this can prevent Spirit Pagoda members from approaching the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System, what if they are hidden within the Continent?"
"It's not possible to release it against innocent civilians and soul masters, is it?"
In that case, although it would be possible to eliminate most members of the Spirit Pagoda, the federation's reputation would plummet to rock bottom!!
Regaining trust would likely not be an easy task!
Hearing this, the other council members couldn't help but express their own opinions...
"Hall Master Guan speaks wisely, he who wins the people's hearts wins the world, if we neglect the feelings of civilian soul masters, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach our previous heights!"
"The existence of the Spirit Pagoda poses an undeniable threat to the entire Continent, and the necessary sacrifices to eliminate them are permissible!!"
"Hiss... I've just thought of a possibility, is it possible that the Spirit Pagoda headquarters has already been moved out, leaving only an empty shell? The members of the Spirit Pagoda and resources might have already been transferred!!"
"No... That's unlikely, our people have been watching the Spirit Pagoda the whole time, and they haven't made any strange moves!"
As the situation turned chaotic, beads of sweat appeared on the Chairman's forehead...
He comforted, "Gentlemen, these things should be impossible; the Spirit Pagoda is under absolute surveillance. Any slight movement should be detected."
Hearing this, one of the War Gods suddenly said, "Chairman, aren't you being a bit too optimistic?"
Another War God echoed, "Since it's been decided to completely eradicate the Spirit Pagoda, naturally all possibilities must be considered, Chairman, you are being too decisive!"
The former was somewhat flustered and hurriedly explained, "Of... Of course, it's not that, I have considered these situations, but the most likely..."
That moment, Yueguan stood up expressionlessly and said lightly, "Enough already, you've been performing solo for so long, aren't you tired??"
The Chairman feigned confusion, "Hall Master Guan, what do you mean??"
Yueguan looked straight at him and articulated, "Where exactly is the real Chairman??"
Although the other party disguised well, in front of him, the flaws were obvious!!
The Chairman's body trembled, and he attempted a forced smile, "I... I don't understand what you mean, Hall Master Guan. Isn't the real Chairman right here?"
But the next second, all the War Gods and council members present stood up together...
"We have no interest in watching your performance anymore, confess the truth at once!"
"Did you think you could fool us by impersonating the Chairman?"
"That's right, speak up, where is the Chairman now? If you don't tell us, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The Chairman's face gradually stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head...
Suddenly, he revealed a very ferocious smile.....
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect to be discovered, what a pity!"
"But well, as for where your Chairman went, of course, he's already dead!!"
"After killing him, I effortlessly took over his body and memories!!"
Yueguan's gaze turned cold as he ordered, "War Gods, capture him immediately, keep him alive!!"
