Shrek Academy, Sea God's Pavilion!
Yue Zhengyu held a tinge of anxiety, "Why haven't Ye Hui and Xing Lan come back yet? A trip to the federation shouldn't take this much time!"
Next to him, Xie Xie shook his head, "I'm not sure either, maybe there's something very important that the federation is discussing, so they are still negotiating?"
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "But considering the current situation, other than the greatest threat, the Ghost Emperor, what else could be important enough for the federation to make such a fuss over?"
As it seemed, the biggest threat to the entire Soul Land was the Ghost Emperor!
As for the Spirit Pagoda, that was a matter for later!
Xu Lizhi clenched his teeth, "I haven't received any news from Sister Xinglan either; nothing could have happened to them, right?"
His heart was in his throat, and it was hard to imagine what he would become if something happened to Ye Xinglan!
Noticing that something was a little off with the former, Elder Ya'li tried to reassure him in a softer tone, "Lizhi, don't be so nervous, with Ye Hui and Xing Lan's strength, they should not encounter any problems!"
Lan Muzi nodded slightly in agreement, "That's right, especially Ye Hui, whose strength has already surpassed most Ultimate Douluo. Even I am no match for her!"
"If the federation dared to mess around, they would definitely pay a heavy price. The Chairman must know this!"
Tang Yinmeng pursed her lips, "Elder Ya'li and Mu Zi are right, Lizhi, don't worry too much. Maybe they're already on their way back!"
Hearing everyone say this, Xu Lizhi finally managed to suppress his emotions...
It was then that Cai Yue'er noticed Tang Wulin wasn't present, puzzled she asked, "Where's Wulin? As the Sea God Pavilion Master, why isn't he attending the Sea God's Pavilion meeting?"
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan honestly replied, "Elder Cai, Wulin told us before he arrived that he had something to deal with, and he would be here soon!"
Sure enough, no sooner had she finished speaking than Tang Wulin burst into the pavilion...
As everyone turned their gazes towards him, he apologized, "Sorry, I'm late!"
Then, he took his place as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion!
Cai Yue'er then continued, "Wulin, where have you been just now?"
Tang Wulin had anticipated this question, and explained, "It's like this, I just got in touch with Ye Hui and Xing Lan; they won't be able to return to the academy for the time being!"
Xie Xie's pupils contracted, and he asked excitedly, "Wulin, don't tell me the federation really did something to Ye Hui and the others??"
If that were indeed the case, he would risk everything to make the federation pay the price!
The other Elders also showed puzzled expressions, but they remained much calmer...
After all, from the look on Tang Wulin's face, it seemed that Yuanen and Ye Hui hadn't encountered any trouble!
As for why they weren't returning to the academy, there must be some other hidden reasons!
Tang Wulin said somewhat helplessly, "Xie Xie, don't get so excited every time; I haven't finished talking yet. Ye Hui and the others haven't run into trouble, they've gone to the abyssal plane to conduct an investigation!"
Xie Xie became even more confused, "To the abyssal plane? Besides some abyssal creatures, there shouldn't be anything else there, right?"
Elder Ya'li propped up her chin, pondering, "Hmm, most of the abyssal creatures were wiped out in the last great war, and they can no longer threaten Soul Land now!"
She paused, then asked, "Wulin, did Ye Hui tell you something?"
Tang Wulin did not deny it, and his expression grew grave, "Yeah, weren't the God-killing soul-guided missiles destroyed in secret by the Spirit Pagoda?"
"So, they plan to go to the abyssal plane in search of rare materials, attempting to recreate the God-killing soul-guided missiles!"
Tang Yinmeng's eyes widened, exclaiming, "How is that possible?!"
Lan Muzi covered his mouth and coughed, "Yin Meng! Mind your demeanor!"
I don't know if it's because she was getting older, but Tang Yinmeng's personality had undergone quite a change!
She used to be able to handle even the most serious issues without losing her composure!
Tang Yinmeng immediately snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she couldn't help but say, "Didn't the Federation say that even if we exhausted all the resources of the Douluo Planet, we still wouldn't be able to produce a fourth God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile?"
Tang Wulin said in a deep voice, "That was indeed the case, but this was also a fatal mistake by the Federation for not taking the abyssal plane into account!"
After all, at that time, no power was capable of completely eradicating the abyssal creatures!
Yue Zhengyu took a deep breath and said, "But Wulin, if the Federation wants to search for rare materials in the abyssal plane, wouldn't it have to spend a huge amount of manpower and resources to clear the internal abyssal creatures?"
"That's probably not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, right?"
The number of abyssal creatures runs into the tens or even hundreds of millions!
Tang Wulin looked at Yue Zhengyu and said word by word, "Regarding this matter, it's not an issue at all!"
"According to Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan, after the Federation's exploration, all the abyssal creatures inside had died and were piled up into several mountains of corpses!"
"What's more, even stranger is that there were no soul power fluctuations left on the bodies of these dead abyssal creatures, and even their exteriors were unharmed!!"
Cai Yue'er felt a chill in her heart and subconsciously uttered, "That means, there's a very high possibility that the death of the abyssal creatures was the work of a God!"
If one thinks for the worst and it was the Ghost Emperor, then the situation could be said to be extremely terrible!!
...
On the other hand, Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan had also arrived at the abyssal plane...
They saw that there were many Federation Members stationed here...
Upon noticing their presence, one of the Federation Members stepped forward cautiously and said, "Who are you? What is your purpose here!"
Ye Xinglan heard this and turned to look at Yuanen Yehui beside her...
The latter, however, remained composed and said, "We are from the Sea God's Pavilion and have specifically come to investigate the situation in the abyssal plane!"
Even if they didn't reveal their identity, it was almost certain that the Federation's Council Members knew that Shrek Academy would not blindly trust, but rather, conduct a covert investigation!
The Federation Member's expression changed upon hearing this...
"Please wait a moment, I need to contact the headquarters," he said.
After making contact with the Federation Headquarters, he then spoke in a respectful tone, "Two Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, please!"
Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were also somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected the Federation to allow them in so readily...
It appears that what had been said before was most likely true!
Without giving it much thought, they followed the lead of the former and smoothly entered the abyssal plane...
As the passage grew darker, what came into their view were several mountains made up of the corpses of abyssal creatures...
Not only that, but there were also many Federation Members using Mechas and soul weapons, desperately clearing away...
