Federation!
The communication member who received the message immediately went to the Council Hall to report...
"Hall Master Guan, Hall Master..."
But when he pushed open the door, he was shocked to find not Guan Yue inside, but War God Ao Rui, the first War God of the War God Hall!!
Seeing the sudden intrusion, Ao Rui's gaze was exceptionally icy as he rebuked, "Shut up, as a member of the federation, don't you know the rules??"
The terrifying pressure emanating invisibly permeated the space...
The federation member swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice, "Sorry... sorry, War God Ao Rui, I... I have urgent news for Hall Master Guan!!"
Ao Rui "hmphed" coldly and finally retracted his pressure...
He spoke expressionlessly, "What's the emergency, speak!!"
The latter breathed a sigh of relief and began, "It's... it's like this, just now, we learned that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion from Shrek Academy and the powerhouses from the Xingluo Empire have already returned to the Douling Empire!!"
"And, they have also invited our federation's Chairman to discuss matters!!"
Ao Rui showed a hint of surprise, "Oh?? Back to Soul Land, that means the Ghost Emperor and other evil Soul Masters have completely taken over the Douling Empire!"
The federation member hesitated for a moment before replying, "That... that should be the case!"
Ao Rui took a deep breath and pressed, "Where are the people from the Xingluo Empire??"
The former answered truthfully, "They're staying temporarily within Shrek Academy!"
Ao Rui's expression darkened, "Staying at Shrek Academy, that is..."
At this moment, just as Guan Yue, who was returning, overheard their conversation, she suddenly interjected, "What happened??"
On hearing her voice, Ao Rui immediately turned to look at her with a respectful tone, "Hall Master, just a moment ago, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion from Shrek Academy and the powerhouses from the Xingluo Empire who went to support the Douling Empire have returned!"
"They are now inviting our federation members to discuss matters!"
Guan Yue's eyes became profound as she looked at the federation member, "Aside from that, was there any other information?"
The latter replied with utmost respect, "Also, Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Dou Ling Empire has died, and the Ghost Emperor and other evil Soul Masters have activated the Ritual Formation, intending to transform all Soul Masters within their territory into evil Soul Masters!!"
Even the normally composed individual couldn't help exclaiming, "What??"
The evil Soul Masters are acting so swiftly!!
Much faster than anticipated!!
Seeing this, Ao Rui couldn't help asking, "Hall Master, what should we do? Should we send council members to Shrek Academy immediately??"
Guan Yue immediately denied the suggestion, "No, this matter is of great importance; you and I will personally go to Shrek Academy!!"
"You have no objections, right!"
Ao Rui naturally had no objections, bowing with a fist he said, "I will follow the Hall Master's orders!"
With that, the two of them left the Council Hall without any further ado...
Leaving only the federation member standing there in a daze...
"Eh... Eh?? Hall Master Guan and War God Ao Rui have already left, so what... what should I do??"
...
Not long after, Guan Yue and Ao Rui arrived outside Shrek Academy...
Cai Yue'er, who had been waiting for some time, revealed a bland smile...
She took the initiative to say, "Hall Master Guan, War God Ao Rui, welcome!"
To tell the truth, she didn't expect these two to come personally!
Clearly, the federation took this matter very seriously!
```
Guan Yue also returned the gesture with a smile, "Elder Cai, there's no need for courtesy. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion for bringing this intelligence. Otherwise, we would have remained unaware of just how serious the situation had become!"
Our initial plan was to deal with the Spirit Pagoda first, then find an opportunity to take care of the evil Soul Master!
Ao Rui remained silent, opting to keep calm...
Because despite being the first War God of the War God Hall, he did not recognize any of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er feigned ignorance and asked, "I wonder whether Hall Master Guan and War God Ao Rui plan to rest for a while, or..."
Before she could finish, Guan Yue interrupted, "Given the urgency of the situation, let's prioritize the important matters at hand!"
Rest was unnecessary for someone like himself, an Ultimate Douluo.
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then I ask Hall Master Guan and War God Ao Rui to follow me to the resting room, where the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the State Preceptor of the Xingluo Empire have been waiting for quite some time!"
Guan Yue and Ao Rui exchanged glances and both nodded...
Thus, they followed the former to the exterior of the resting room...
Upon opening the door, they were greeted by the solemn faces of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the State Preceptor of the Xingluo Empire.
Guan Yue coughed lightly and said, "Excuse us, everyone. We hope we haven't arrived too late?"
All eyes were immediately drawn to them...
Tang Wulin, as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God, responded without hesitation, "Hall Master Guan, you've arrived just in time. We were about to begin the discussion!"
En Ci also chimed in, "Yes, but please take a seat first, Hall Master Guan."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue and Ao Rui quickly took their seats at the already prepared spots...
Tang Wulin then turned his gaze to Cai Yue'er, "Elder Cai, please take a seat as well. There won't be any issues with Xie Xie looking after the academy."
She hesitated for a moment, but then promptly closed the door and took her place...
After everyone was settled, Tang Wulin began with a distinctly serious tone, "Well then, without further ado, let's commence the conference concerning the Dou Ling Empire!"
...
Similarly, the Spirit Pagoda naturally received the news as well.
One could see the golden pupils of Di Tian shining brightly as he said coldly, "My lord, according to the news we've just received, the actin chairman of the federation and the first War God have gone to Shrek Academy!"
"They're likely to discuss a matter of great importance!"
A subtle change came over Gu Yuena's expression, "A discussion? They're probably planning to join forces to deal with the evil Soul Master of the Dou Spirit Empire!"
Di Tian pursed his lips, "My lord, shall we intervene??"
If these forces were to collaborate, the Spirit Pagoda would find itself in a difficult and weak position.
For a change, Gu Yuena didn't dismiss the idea, "Of course we should get involved, but... not for the sake of discussing how to combat the evil Soul Master of the Dou Spirit Empire!"
Di Tian frowned slightly, "Then I shall accompany you!"
Gu Yuena shook her head, "There's no need, you stay inside the Spirit Pagoda. Bai Ji will accompany me."
Di Tian objected without hesitation, "No, even if Bai Ji is with you, it would still be dangerous if those humans at Shrek Academy were to attack! No matter what, I must follow."
In such a situation, he would follow even against the former's command.
Seeing his determination, Gu Yuena simply sighed, "Very well, then you accompany me along with Ya Li."
Although she wasn't worried about any danger, if she didn't agree, Di Tian and other ferocious beasts would definitely follow in secret.
