Spirit Pagoda!
Bi Ji frantically found Gu Yuena and said in a solemn voice, "My lord, something terrible has happened!!"
Gu Yuena arched an eyebrow. "Bi Ji, what happened to make you so panicked?"
The former took a deep breath and explained, "My lord, didn't you instruct me to guard the passageway to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and keep watch over the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython?"
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, "Mhm!"
She indeed had said so, but she hadn't expected the former to take it so seriously!
Bi Ji continued, "Yesterday, I entered the forbidden area inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and found that the Titan Ape was gone, with only the Azure Oxpython left!"
"No matter how I inquired about the whereabouts of the Titan Ape, he refused to divulge any information!!"
Gu Yuena's expression became a bit more serious as she pressed, "Oh? What did the Azure Oxpython say?"
Bi Ji's gaze turned icy, "He claimed that the Titan Ape was inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, repairing the dimensional plane, but I carefully investigated and didn't sense even a trace of the Titan Ape's presence!"
"So, the Azure Oxpython is deliberately concealing something!"
Gu Yuena rested her chin on her hand, "Mm... it seems that the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape have indeed been doing quite a few things in secret!"
Seeing that the former wasn't the least bit anxious, Bi Ji spoke again, "My lord, the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython are betraying us, and we can't continue to ignore this!!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena tried to calm her down, "Bi Ji, even though they are indeed hiding something, we can't be certain that they have betrayed us!"
This statement only added to Bi Ji's confusion...
She couldn't help but challenge, "My lord, why do you trust them so much?? These beings have never made even the slightest contribution to our plans."
"It's hard to believe that they also aim to revive the Soul Beast Clan!!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was somewhat inappropriate...
She explained, "My lord, I don't mean to criticize you, but no matter what, I just can't fully trust that the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython are on the side of the soul beasts!!"
Gu Yuena indicated that it was not a concern, "No matter, I can understand your feelings, after all, I don't trust the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython either!"
Bi Ji clenched her fists, "Then why still..."
Gu Yuena sighed. "Bi Ji, don't forget the relationship between the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython and the Sea God. Through them, we can obtain some information that would otherwise be unattainable!!"
She herself didn't know why Bi Ji was so stubborn. Even if the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython betrayed the Spirit Pagoda...
It wouldn't cause any loss!!
That was why they were kept confined within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
It was all pros and no cons!!
It was at this moment that Di Tian also walked in with a heavy expression...
Gu Yuena glanced sideways, instantly realizing that he was about to report something unpleasant.
Without waiting, she spoke, "Di Tian, it looks like the situation on your end isn't very good either!"
Di Tian didn't deny it but answered word by word, "My lord, you're right!"
"Currently, the members of the Spirit Pagoda have successfully approached the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System!"
"However, it seems that Tang Sect and the federation have already begun to move, apparently preparing to establish a joint defense line to expel the members of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"If we don't take countermeasures, I'm afraid that the members of the Spirit Pagoda will be expelled from the range of the Soul-guided Defensive Array System, causing the entire plan to collapse!!"
Gu Yuena looked directly at him and said softly, "Mm, I anticipated this situation. If the federation thinks that the Spirit Pagoda has put all our hopes on the Soul-guided Defensive Array System, they are completely mistaken!"
"Di Tian, what about the other part of the Spirit Pagoda members that we dispersed?"
She had already prepared a backup plan before all this!
```
On the surface, let the majority of the Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples approach the Soul-guided Defensive Array System to attract the attention of the Federation and the Tang Sect!
Secretly, another part of the Spirit Pagoda Members is to infiltrate the major powers in the shadows, waiting for my command before taking action!
Di Tian's golden pupils flickered with light, "My lord, we have successfully infiltrated all the major forces; they will unlikely notice in the short term," he said.
"But what about those Spirit Pagoda Members who are about to be expelled?"
Gu Yuena spoke again, "Let them continue to attract attention; if necessary, they can start creating some conflicts."
As for abandoning some of the Spirit Transmission Tower Disciples, she could still accept it.
Di Tian nodded slightly, "Yes, my lord, I will convey your orders immediately."
Time was of the essence, and he had no time to stay any longer; he was about to turn and leave when...
Bi Ji spoke suddenly, "Di Tian..."
Di Tian paused, puzzled, "What is it, Bi Ji, do you have something else?"
Bi Ji shook her head, swallowing back the words she was about to say, "No... it's nothing, you should go issue the lord's orders first," she said.
After all, the safety of the entire Spirit Pagoda was at stake!
Although he sensed she had more to say, Di Tian didn't press further without her volunteering the information; he gestured and quickly departed...
It was then that Gu Yuena spoke up, "Bi Ji, do you still have doubts about that previous matter?"
"I may not answer you, but... with your personality, you're unlikely to let it rest and will certainly try to investigate the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, won't you?" she asked.
Bi Ji didn't want to pursue the topic further; she shook her head, "My lord, I... have no more questions to ask; I just want to remind you to not trust the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython!"
"I always detect a faint hostility coming from them!"
...
Tang Sect!
Inside the meeting room!
Zang Xin and Guo Xiaoxu were both focusing their gaze on the politician of the Federation...
Although they expected the Federation to initiate contact, they did not anticipate it happening so soon!
The Federation's Congress Leader said with a smile, "Sect Master Zang, all the Hall Masters, please excuse my presumptuous intrusion!"
After leaving the War God Hall, he immediately set his sights on the Tang Sect...
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin replied calmly, "What are you saying, Chairman? We are honored by your presence and welcome you!"
Liang Xiaoyu chimed in, "That's right, it's just a pity we weren't prepared in advance to entertain the Chairman properly!"
The Chairman sighed, "There's no need for entertainment; I'm here at the Tang Sect for a matter of great urgency to discuss with Sect Master Zang!"
"It concerns the peace of the entire Soul Land!"
Zang Xin guessed the Chairman's intention and pretended to be surprised, "Oh? Then I must hear what the Chairman wishes to discuss. Hall Master Liang, you may leave us."
Liang Xiaoyu immediately understood, nodding, "Yes, Sect Master, Chairman, I'll leave you to it."
With that, he left the meeting room...
Zang Xin took a seat first and then invited, "Chairman, please take a seat. Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it at leisure."
The Chairman, without any pretense, sat down and began to explain the purpose of his visit...
