Seeing that the other party's emotions were a bit off, Di Tian hurriedly explained, "My lord, I meant no disrespect, I just wanted to remind you!"
He truly bore no killing intent towards Tang Wulin at the moment, so what he had just said was the truth!
Gu Yuena steadied her mind and raised her hand to stop him, "Di Tian, there's no need to explain so much, I know you're right!"
Perhaps, she had always known that after devouring the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, she would obtain the Dragon God's godhood!
It's just that she had never been willing to think in that direction!
Bi Ji was somewhat worried as she said, "My lord, if you have no thoughts of devouring Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King's bloodline, then pretend you never heard what was said just now."
They were well aware that for her to devour Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King's bloodline in order to break through to God Rank was virtually impossible!
After all, the two of them were partners!!
Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment, and after looking up at the former, she softly hummed in acknowledgment…
Then, Bi Ji turned to Di Tian and suggested, "Di Tian, our lord needs time to calm down, let's withdraw for now!"
Di Tian understood her meaning and after giving Gu Yuena a deep look…
He led the ferocious beasts out of the grand hall…
In an instant, the entire Spirit Pagoda grand hall was left empty…
Only Gu Yuena remained, her face full of struggling thoughts…
"Can I really harden my heart to devour Wulin's Golden Dragon King's bloodline and break through to godhood?"
If she did so, she could obtain the Dragon God's position, break through to God smoothly, and the problems with both the Ghost Emperor and the federation would be easily solved…
Reviving the Soul Beast Clan would become very simple…
However, the thought of such an outcome leading to Tang Wulin's demise made her heart waver…
…
Federation!!
A federation member tasked with relaying messages reported with a serious expression, "Report to the Chairman and all Council Members, according to the information sent by federation members embedded at the border of the Douling Empire, it seems that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have made contact with the Douling Empire!"
The leading Chairman speculated upon hearing this, "Elders of the Sea God Pavilion? They probably heard about the events in the Douling Empire being related to evil Soul Masters and wanted to investigate clearly!"
The other Council Members also expressed their opinions…
"Yes, the current Shrek Academy ignores the conflict between the federation and the Spirit Pagoda and only sends the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to the Douling Empire, this might be the only reason."
"There's no helping it, after all, Shrek Academy has always detested the Holy Spirit Cult, but as long as it doesn't affect the federation's plans, it's fine!"
"It shouldn't, even though Shrek Academy knows that we secretly extract precious materials from the abyssal plane, they haven't disclosed it to the public!"
"Shrek Academy is not to be feared, but we can't let the Spirit Pagoda find out about this matter, otherwise, they will definitely interfere!"
The Chairman moistened his dry lips, "The Members have made valid points, but I think, although the Spirit Pagoda has sensed something amiss, they probably don't know the specifics yet."
From Gu Yuena's tone during her last visit to the federation, one could very easily tell!
Upon hearing this, a Council Member questioned with confusion, "Chairman, why do you say that? Could it be that we have federation members infiltrated into the high ranks of the Spirit Pagoda??"
The Chairman shook his head, "No, not at all, the Spirit Pagoda's high ranks consist only of Pagoda Master Gu Yuena and her ferocious beast subordinates!"
"That was just my speculation!"
Simply put, obtaining information from the high ranks of the Spirit Pagoda is as hard as scaling the heavens!
Because those creatures simply don't trust humans!
Then it suddenly dawned on the former, "I see now, didn't the Spirit Pagoda Master come to meet the Chairman a few days ago?"
"Could it be that something was noticed then!"
```
The Chairman did not deny it, "Indeed! But guesses are ultimately just guesses; we must still be fully prepared!"
He was not certain that his own conjecture was definitely correct!!
Soon, another Council Member's eyes flickered as he spoke up, "Chairman, since that's the case, I have a suggestion that I believe could be used to divert the attention of the Spirit Pagoda!"
The Chairman looked surprised, "Oh? Let's hear it!"
The former did not keep him in suspense and immediately shared his idea!
After hearing it, the expressions of the Council Members present all turned odd...
"Won't this be too obvious? It's very likely to be seen through!!"
"So what if it's seen through? After all, it's just to disrupt the Spirit Pagoda's judgment!!"
"Hmm, although I'm not sure if it will have a significant effect, if it's just to mislead the Spirit Pagoda's judgment for a short time, there should be no problem!"
"Chairman, in my opinion, let's just do it this way. Let the Spirit Pagoda keep guessing; by the time they figure it out, the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles would have been remade!"
The Chairman pondered for a moment and finally gave his approval...
"Alright, let's do it this way. Let's give the people from the Spirit Pagoda a headache!!"
...
The next day!!
The federation gradually dispatched multiple squads, heading separately to the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire...
Not only that, they deliberately let the people from the Spirit Pagoda discover them...
The result, of course, was very clear!
The Spirit Pagoda correspondingly sent out a large number of members, who closely trailed each of the federal squads, monitoring their every move...
However, after half a day, the members of the Spirit Pagoda finally realized something was amiss...
Pointing at the federal squad ahead, they cursed, "Damn it, just where are these federation bastards going? Why are they constantly moving between the cities of the Xingluo Empire!!"
"Yeah, we've been following them for a whole day, and these guys show no sign of stopping!!"
"I'm really starting to suspect that these guys have noticed us and are doing this on purpose!"
"Is there even any doubt? It's definitely the case! Maybe they don't have any goal at all; they're just playing us for fools, it's infuriating!!"
The man leading them suddenly noticed that the federal squads ahead had started to move again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, those guys are moving again!"
"So what do we do now? Should we keep following them or not? It feels like a waste of time!"
"Follow my ass, I don't want to work myself to death being played like a monkey!!"
"Otherwise, while it's still early, let's just head back to the Spirit Pagoda. There's no point in tiring ourselves out here with them!!"
The man, hearing this, was somewhat tempted, but it was only a fleeting thought in his head!
After taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Everyone shut up and continue to follow. Otherwise, how are we going to explain ourselves to the Pagoda Master!!"
If they lost their target, the punishment would be on them!!
With that, the members of the Spirit Pagoda resumed trailing the federal squads with reluctance...
Despite already knowing that doing so was meaningless...
