After uttering these words, War God Ao Rui's gaze fixed intently on Gu Yuena and her companion, as if ready to strike at any sign of their movement!
Originally, when he had gone to the Douling Empire, his indecisiveness had indirectly led to the deaths of two War Gods, causing heavy losses for the Federation!
Today, he couldn't allow such a thing to happen again!
However, Councilor Bi Ji seemed to perceive his intentions and rebuked, "Humans, what kind of look is that? Do you want to fight with our Spirit Pagoda..."
However, Gu Yuena raised her right hand to stop her...
She spoke in an even tone, "Bi Ji, step back!"
Bi Ji hesitated, but she didn't dare to defy the order and stepped back...
However, the look she gave Ao Rui had already subtly turned hostile...
Then, Gu Yuena turned back to Ao Rui, "War God Ao Rui, why are you so tense? I'm not unreasonable, right?"
Although she phrased it as a question, Ao Rui's back was already slick with cold sweat...
He thought silently, "This Gu Yuena truly deserves to be the Spirit Pagoda's master, managing to completely command the ferocious beast Bi Ji by her side!"
No wonder she was so feared by the Hall Master!
With this thought, he gritted his teeth and responded, "Whether the Ancient Tower Master is reasonable or not, remains to be seen. But from your recent actions, forgive me, I really haven't seen it!"
Gu Yuena wasn't angered by this, "Is that so? To be honest, although there are tensions between the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda right now, I have no intention of attacking the Federation,"
"because doing so would mean losing a major ally in our fight against the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire!"
Ao Rui frowned, seemingly unsure of the purpose behind her words...
But if no fighting was involved, it was a positive thing!
"Ancient Tower Master, mere words can hardly be convincing,"
"Why don't you take these members of the Spirit Pagoda and leave now? That way, I will also report today's events truthfully to the Hall Master!"
"Presumably, the Hall Master might change his opinion about the Spirit Pagoda, and subsequent cooperation could be smoother."
Gu Yuena's silver eyes grew slightly colder, "War God Ao Rui is so eager for me to leave, it seems there really must be something here that the Federation greatly values!"
Seeing this, Bi Ji transmitted to her, "Master, among these Federation people, only this guy is strong; the others are negligible. Together, we can surely kill him!"
By himself, this Ao Rui could not handle them, not to mention that his master, who was even more powerful, was present!
The other side had no chance of winning whatsoever!
As for the consequences, it would be simple; they would just erase the evidence and the Federation could do nothing!
At this, Ao Rui gave a meaningful glance towards the other Federation members...
"Ancient Tower Master, are you preparing to make a move? I alone might not stand a chance against you, but if I give it my all, I might still take one of you down with me!"
Gu Yuena made no move, "War God Ao Rui, I told you before, I have no intention of being your enemy!"
"I merely wish to enter these ruins and see what exactly happened!"
Ao Rui glanced behind him, emphatically stating, "Sorry, Ancient Tower Master, if you really want to know, you should visit Shrek Academy. After all, this is not our Federation's territory!"
The surrounding members of the Spirit Pagoda, upon seeing this, also became agitated...
"Tower Master, these Federation people are too excessive, they don't respect you at all; in my opinion, we should just storm in!"
"Exactly, with you, Tower Master, and Councilor Bi Ji here, these Federation people are no match for us!"
"I have long disliked these Federation people; today we ought to teach them a lesson and show them who truly is the most formidable power on this Continent!"
"Tower Master, don't hesitate any longer. Just kill them, and then erase the traces. Even if the Federation investigates, they won't have any evidence!"
Little did they know, this was disrupting Gu Yuena's plans...
"Did I allow any of you to speak?"
It was just a look, but it made the members of the Spirit Pagoda shiver involuntarily as if they were plunged into an ice cellar...
"So...sorry, Tower Master, we spoke out of turn!"
Damn it, not even Councilor Bi Ji had spoken, and they dared to defy the Tower Master—what a way to court death!
However, to Ao Rui, this was all just words and posturing...
He immediately said coldly, "Ancient Tower Master, there is no need for pretense here. If you insist on entering, then you will have to step over our dead bodies!"
Gu Yuena said nothing, just quietly watching the other party...
This action made Ao Rui even more baffled...
"Ancient Tower Master? What does your sudden silence mean?"
What on earth was happening with Gu Yuena!
He could not comprehend her thoughts at all!
Gu Yuena sighed and shook her head, "Well, since War God Ao Rui is unwilling to let us in, then forget it!"
"For something like this, ruining the alliance the Federation and Spirit Pagoda have established is not worth it!"
Bi Ji showed a look of astonishment, "What?? My lord, you are actually compromising?"
Everything that mattered to my lord had almost never been compromised; the fact she was stepping back now was indeed unimaginable!
However, there must be her own considerations!
At that moment, Ao Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief...
It seems, like him, Gu Yuena also did not want to trigger a conflict!
"Thanks to Ancient Tower Master's understanding, in that case… please feel free to proceed!"
Gu Yuena also turned around without hesitation, with her back towards them she said, "Before leaving, I want to convey a message to War God Ao Rui. I hope you can relay this to Hall Master Guan!"
Ao Rui immediately bowed, "Please speak, Ancient Tower Master. I will most certainly convey it accurately to the Hall Master!"
Gu Yuena articulated carefully, "With the Federation's technology alone, it's impossible to unravel the secrets of these ruins!"
Ao Rui was somewhat dumbfounded and blurted out, "What??"
However, Gu Yuena clearly had no intention of explaining, as she said to Bi Ji and others, "Let's go!"
Though reluctantly, everyone followed and quickly departed...
Yet the Federation members were somewhat in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them...
"These Spirit Pagoda people, they just left like that? Without making a move!"
"Yes, I heard that the Ancient Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda is a ruthless person who doesn't blink at killing. Today, they actually spared us!"
"Although I don't know what happened, there is no doubt that we all survived!!"
"Yes, being alive is already a blessing. As for the reason, people like us need not worry."
"I think, they were cautious because of War God Ao Rui's strength, otherwise, they would have made a move long ago!!"
But Ao Rui's expression turned grim...
The words spoken by Gu Yuena clearly had an underlying implication...
Could it be that she already knew our goals for staying here, and that's why she didn't make a move??
