At this moment, the swiftly marching army of the Xingluo Empire!
To the naked eye, the entire army's formation was massive, with at least thousands of people!
Among them, there were also not a few who possessed Soul Power!
The reason for this was that the entire force was a combination of two reinforcements sent by the Xingluo Empire!
The leader, a man exuding dignity and an oppressive aura, asked his subordinates down below, "How far are we from the defensive line established by the War God Hall now?"
Upon hearing the question, one warrior reported loudly, "Commander, we are at least a city's distance away from the War God Hall's defensive line!"
The former frowned deeply, "That far still? The Abyssal Creature Army is about to launch a second wave of attacks. With our current pace, it's very hard for us to arrive in time."
According to the intelligence just received, the Abyssal Creature Army was only a few kilometers away from the defensive line and would definitely reach it before the Xingluo Empire's army!
The warrior swallowed hard, and with some trepidation said, "Commander, I have something to say, though I'm not sure if I should."
The man responded with a cold command, "Speak!"
Only then did the former dare to say, "In my opinion, the situation isn't as bad as we imagined. Support from the various powers of Soul Land has been arriving one after another, and it won't be easy for the Abyssal Creature Army to break through!"
The rest of the warriors also couldn't help but discuss, "That's right, that defensive line has already held against the first invasion of the Abyssal Emperors, there definitely won't be a problem with the second wave!"
"Yes, yes, that place has gathered the top fighting forces of the entire Soul Land, they will definitely hold out until we arrive!"
"Even if the defensive line is breached, doesn't the federation still have a God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile? They will definitely deploy it at that time!"
After listening to them, the man immediately let out a contemptuous "hmph," "You know nothing, the last time, it was just a probing invasion by the Abyssal Emperors. This time, we're facing the Abyssal Creature Army as well as the Abyssal Emperor."
"Especially the latter, whose strength isn't even on the same level as a Soul Master's. Otherwise, the former Hall Master of the War God Hall and three Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion wouldn't have fallen!"
These warriors were far too naive, thinking that having a large number of Soul Masters would be of any use, but in reality, it was futile!
To win, one must be stronger than the opponent in high-end combat power!
A single sentence caused the complexions of all the soldiers in the army to stiffen, and their morale to plummet...
According to what the former said, their support seemed to be of no consequence whatsoever!
So, what was the purpose of coming here?
To witness the process of Soul Land's destruction with their own eyes?
The man was stunned for a moment and realized that his words were indeed too demoralizing!
He quickly added, "Stop dawdling, continue marching. Even if we lose this battle, we need to thoroughly assess the strength of the abyssal creatures to prepare the Xingluo Empire for countering them!"
...
Spirit Pagoda!
A research lab specifically established for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
Gu Yuena stood solemnly at the center, her gaze sweeping over the researchers who were adjusting the equipment...
After a lengthy period of tens of minutes, she abruptly questioned, "Have you found any issues?"
A researcher with gold-rimmed glasses organized the results of the inspection and then handed the report to her...
"Report to the Pagoda Master, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform has indeed been tampered with secretly!"
Gu Yuena replied coldly, "Continue, what else did you find?"
The former continued, "It seems to be a virus inserted using some kind of brain domain technology, which only causes disruption in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform when it reaches a critical value!"
"On the entire Soul Land, probably only the former Vice Tower Master, Qiangu Qingfeng, could achieve this!"
Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes flickered, "It really is him!"
Although she had already anticipated it, she couldn't help feeling angry when she actually heard it!
This researcher adjusted his glasses and asked with confusion, "Him? Vice Tower Master, did you know all along that it was Qiangu Qingfeng's doing?"
Gu Yuena replied emotionlessly, "Yes, before I succeeded as the Pagoda Master, besides my teacher, Qiangu Qingfeng was the only one who possessed abilities equal to mine!"
"However, I thought Qiangu Qingfeng wouldn't dare to do something like this right under my nose. It seems I underestimated his audacity!"
After listening to this, the researcher pondered and said, "Vice Tower Master, now that we have clarified this matter, we can take the opportunity to accuse the federation!"
Destroying the Ten Thousand Beast Platform on their own, that is unforgivable for the Spirit Pagoda!
Gu Yuena let out a cold laugh, "Accuse? Humph, with the character of those people in the federation, without evidence to charge Qiangu Qingfeng, they would never admit it!"
The former hesitated, "This... "
Just then, some information suddenly reached Gu Yuena's ear...
Her expression changed slightly as she thought to herself, "It seems we don't need to go to the federation to find Qiangu Qingfeng anymore!"
That guy had already led the federation's powerful ones to the front lines!
The other researchers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, but none knew what to say...
Gu Yuena glanced at them and said coldly, "This matter doesn't concern you all. Everyone, continue to investigate the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to prevent Qiangu Qingfeng from having set up other traps!!"
"Yes, Vice Tower Master!"
Although they didn't understand, the researchers still chose to obey, continuing to maintain and inspect the entrance to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform...
...
Meanwhile!
The vanguard unit sent out by the Douling Empire...
Every Soul Master showed expressions of anger, dissatisfaction, and fear!
One of the Soul Masters spoke up first, "His Majesty the Emperor just sent this few of us, what are we supposed to do here? Even if Soul Land's defenses have truly been breached, it's not something we can get involved in."
Another Soul Master sighed, "No choice, who made us so unlucky? We had to come, otherwise it would be our heads on the line!"
"Speaking of which, when did our Douling Empire's Soul Guidance Technology become so advanced, being able to continuously develop level 6 and level 7 soul tools?"
"This shows our Douling Empire has developed, and is by no means inferior to the former Xingluo Empire!"
"Come on, I think it's because we have reached an alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult and gained Soul Guidance Technology!"
Xingluo Empire and the federation essentially do not leak Soul Guidance Technology!
The only possibility lies with the Holy Spirit Cult!
"Shh, don't talk recklessly about this kind of thing. If His Majesty the Emperor hears it, we are doomed for sure!"
Although everyone knew it in their hearts, speaking it out loud was a different thing!
The leading Soul Douluo level warrior coughed to interrupt, "Stop the idle chatter, the most important thing is to carry out His Majesty the Emperor's command!"
He paused, then added, "Of course, if any accidents occur during the mission, flee immediately. I don't want to lose my life here!!"
