Di Tian's golden pupils shimmered slightly with waves, "Since you, my lord, have other plans, I shall speak no further."
That was true; as the son of the Sea God, Tang Wulin was always the center of attention. Whenever he faced a crisis that he couldn't resolve, the former would take action proactively!
There was absolutely no need for their assistance!
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuena shifted the topic, "What about Bi Ji? Is she still monitoring the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"
Di Tian shook his head, replying, "No, it's other ferocious beasts that are surveilling the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. Bi Ji has gone to gather information about the federation and should be back before long!"
The former showed a contemplative expression, "I see, then let's wait a bit longer..."
After they had discussed for a while longer, the figure of Bi Ji finally appeared in their view...
However, her entire demeanor exuded a strong sense of urgency...
"My lord!"
Sensing something was amiss, Gu Yuena asked with puzzlement, "Bi Ji, what happened?"
Di Tian, too, showed a look of confusion. To see such an expression on Bi Ji, it was likely that nothing good had happened!
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji replied anxiously, "My lord, it's like this: because the federation has strengthened their defenses, and those higher-ups have reached some sort of agreement, staying inside at all times, I couldn't obtain any useful intelligence."
"In order to gather intelligence, I intruded into the Federation Headquarters and took a Council Member hostage," a statement that made Di Tian notice the wounds all over her, exclaiming, "Bi Ji, you're injured?"
Bi Ji shook her head to indicate it was nothing serious, "I'm fine, it was just the attack from those soul weapons!"
Such injuries would heal before long!
Gu Yuena suppressed the emotions in her heart and inquired calmly, "Did you find out anything from that Council Member?"
Since the former had already invaded the Federation Headquarters, that couldn't be changed!
At the very least, they needed to extract useful information from that Council Member!
Bi Ji nodded solemnly, "Yes, from that Council Member, I've learned a crucial piece of information. The federation's plan to create the fourth God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile has reached the final step, and they are about to succeed!"
"Once it's ready, they will launch it at the Spirit Pagoda without delay!"
Gu Yuena clenched her fists and asked again, "What about that Council Member?"
Bi Ji hung her head in silence...
That Council Member had integrity and didn't respond to any questions, no matter how she inquired...
With no other option, she had to use a more forceful method...
As a result, even though she got the information she wanted, he died from not being able to withstand the pain!
Seeing her silence, Gu Yuena chided her, "You got your answer, so why did you kill the federation's Council Member? Foolish!!"
Di Tian, seeing the situation, quickly tried to appease her, "My lord, please calm your anger. Bi Ji was only trying to gather intelligence. Moreover, if it weren't for her breaking into the federation and capturing the Council Member, we likely wouldn't have learned that the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile was about to be produced!!"
Bi Ji bit her thin lips, "My lord, I am willing to bear any punishment for this, but now, we must think of a way to counter the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile!!"
Gu Yuena had more to say but, considering the importance of the information the former had obtained...
She could only command coldly, "Proceed as we initially planned. To restrict the federation's God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, some damage to the Spirit Pagoda is acceptable!!"
...
The federation!!
Council Hall!
Each Council Member wore an indignant expression, and their hate for the Spirit Pagoda was undisguised…
"They are too arrogant, far too arrogant! The Spirit Pagoda is blatantly disregarding the federation, daring to forcefully barge in!!"
"Hmph, that's not all, they even kidnapped one of our Council Members, this is a naked provocation against the federation!!"
"This Council Member who was taken by the Spirit Pagoda, who knows if under their torture, all the internal affairs of the federation will be leaked out, or even worse, die a gruesome death!!"
"This is too cruel, I absolutely cannot tolerate the Spirit Pagoda's brazen tyranny, acting as if the federation would not dare to make a move against them!"
"I propose that we immediately declare full-scale war on the Spirit Pagoda, to avenge our kidnapped Council Member, as well as the members who have died!!!"
The Chairman also felt seething anger, but knew that they couldn't act rashly...
He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, calm yourselves, although that Council Member was captured by the Spirit Pagoda, it does not necessarily mean they are dead!"
The Spirit Pagoda and the federation were like fire and water; the only thing missing was the right opportunity for a battle!
That Gu Yuena, if she had any brains at all, wouldn't commit such an act!
The previous words were obviously unable to quell the Council Members' rage...
"Chairman, that is one of our federation's Council Members, and you're still speaking for the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Yes, under Gu Yuena's lead, the Spirit Pagoda is nothing but a thuggish entity. Is there anything they wouldn't dare to do?"
"Even the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters wouldn't dare invade the federation so brazenly, but the Spirit Pagoda did!!"
"Even if we don't go to war with the Spirit Pagoda, we must make them hand over the murderer! The federation deserves an explanation!!"
The Chairman spoke again, "My friends, I understand your emotions, but demanding the Spirit Pagoda to hand over the murderer is utterly impossible!"
To be able to break into the Federation Headquarters and take a Council Member away under the protection of so many members, it must be a power equivalent to a Hyper Douluo, or even an Ultimate Douluo!!
Asking the Spirit Pagoda to hand over such a powerhouse is an unrealistic wish!!
As soon as he spoke these words, the atmosphere in the room started to heat up...
"So, Chairman, what you mean is to let this go?"
"If so, the Spirit Pagoda will only become more aggressive. Next time, it could easily be me, or any one of us Council Members!!"
"Exactly, we cannot let this matter slide! We have been tolerant for so long, it's time to erupt when we need to!"
"Chairman, although I trust your judgment, please do not give a response that disappoints us!!"
With no other option, the Chairman had to grit his teeth and respond, "How about this, I will personally visit the Spirit Pagoda to negotiate and demand the return of the captured Council Member, how about that?"
Even such a statement failed to have any effect!
No sooner had he finished speaking than one of the Council Members shook their head and vetoed, "That won't work, if the Chairman goes to the Spirit Pagoda in person, who knows if they would capture you too!"
Another Council Member concurred, "Yes, in my opinion, the safest method is still to dispatch the Soul Guidance Corps to threaten the Spirit Pagoda into handing over the person!!!"
"I agree, if the Spirit Pagoda does not return the captured Council Member unharmed, then we immediately launch an attack!!"
