Chapter 115 of the First Person
Considering all the factors, and the perilous situation the family is currently facing, Xue Er immediately took Xue Jiu and Chen Xinjie to Zhang Huanyun's office to explain the situation.
Chapter 220 Zang Xin's Killing Intent, the Fortunate Federal Speaker
"What! You're leaving the Blood God Legion!"
"I'm sorry, Huanyun! But Zewen and I have to leave for a while. I promise we'll come back to continue guarding the Abyss once we're done."
"But this is too sudden!" Zhang Huanyun looked suspiciously at Chen Xinjie behind Xue Er: "Second brother, if anyone threatens you, just tell me. I'll risk everything to stand up for you."
"This……"
Xue Er glanced at Chen Xinjie behind him and saw that the other nodded. He didn't hide anything and directly told Zhang Huanyun about the Sea God family's ordeal.
When Zhang Huanyun heard that the evil soul masters dared to openly attack the Sea God family, and that they even had two evil soul masters at the limit level leading the attack, he felt a sudden surge of anger.
"Bang! This is no ordinary evil spirit master; we must strike hard. Don't worry, Second Brother, I will definitely avenge you."
There's definitely something fishy going on here! There's absolutely something fishy going on within the Federation! Your Sea God family is hiding in such a godforsaken place, right in the middle of the ocean. If no one tipped them off, I don't believe those evil spirit masters from the Holy Spirit Cult could find them there.”
Zhang Huanyun slammed his hand on the desk, the deep handprint revealing the fury in his heart.
You didn't actually need to say that last sentence. Xue Er, Xue Jiu, and Chen Xinjie all looked at Zhang Huanyun with slight twitches at the corners of their mouths.
Zhang Huanyun disregarded past grievances and wanted to stand up for their Sea God family and seek justice. They were all quite moved at this point, but the last sentence from him dealt them a heavy blow.
Catching a glimpse of the three people opposite him out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Huanyun felt a wave of embarrassment. He coughed awkwardly as he stood up. "Brother Chen, I'll go with you to the Federation to demand an explanation. Second Brother, Little Nine, you two can just consider this a long vacation; don't worry about things here."
"Alright! Take care, Huanyun." "Legion Commander, we will be back."
Watching Xue Er and his son Xue Jiu leave, Zhang Huanyun turned to Chen Xinjie and gestured for them to proceed. The two then transformed into streaks of light and flew into the distance.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Xu Xuandou stroked his chin. The Federation hadn't been peaceful for more than a few years before it was already in chaos again. This current Federation Speaker was truly fortunate.
A flicker of unease crossed Cao Dezhi's eyes as he stood beside him. The Holy Spirit Cult's actions this time were definitely hiding a shocking conspiracy. No one had expected the Holy Spirit Cult to have accumulated such power.
Aside from top-tier forces like Shrek Academy, the Temple of War, Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, and Xuanming Sect, which have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, what other force could possess two Limit Douluos?
"What a great struggle!" Cao Dezhi sighed, wondering if Zang Xin could handle the situation without his help.
While Cao Dezhi was concerned about the safety of Zang...Tang Clan, Zang Xin was currently extremely busy.
Inside the conference hall of Tang Sect headquarters
The Tang Clan's high-ranking members, including renowned Title Douluos, were arguing heatedly, their faces flushed and eyes bloodshot.
"Sect Leader! Think twice! We've sent so many fighters from the Fighting Soul Hall. What will Shrek Academy think if they find out?"
"Yes! The Shrek Academy's inspection team hasn't even sent many people. Isn't it a bit unfair of us to do this?"
“Indeed, Sect Leader, it is a rule passed down from our ancestors that our two major forces should advance and retreat together. Do you think you should talk to Shrek Academy about this?”
"Oh! So, according to you, I'll have to report to Shrek Academy before issuing any orders in the future?" Zang Xin looked thoughtfully at the people who had raised objections earlier and asked with a smile.
But his smiling face looked like the Grim Reaper to the people opposite him, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Although the meeting room was comfortably warm, the backs of the group were soaked with sweat. After Zang Xin spoke, the entire meeting fell silent.
Those who raised objections felt uneasy, while the group that agreed kept their eyes downcast, their eyes full of mockery, waiting to see how those people would fare.
"Oh dear! Is my word no longer effective? Why is none of you willing to pay attention to me? It seems our Tang Clan is too small to accommodate you great Buddhas."
Zang Xin smiled and looked at the few people who had just raised objections. Under his gaze, they all shrank back and bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.
"Since you're not speaking up now, I'll take that as you agreeing with me. Guo Xiaoxu!"
"exist!"
"Send out two Black-level Fighters, seven Purple-level Fighters, and fifty Yellow-level and fifty White-level Fighters. Send them to assist the Federation in eradicating the Evil Soul Masters. The Evil Soul Masters have been too arrogant this time; they must be taught a lesson."
"Yes—!" The Tang Clan's high-ranking members responded in unison.
"The meeting is over. Meeting adjourned. Everyone, go about your business."
Upon Zang Xin's announcement that the meeting was adjourned, the Tang Clan's high-ranking members all took their leave and returned to their respective posts.
Soon, only Zang Xin remained in the conference room. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
How could such a large sect like Tang Sect have raised such a few ungrateful wretches? They keep talking about Shrek Academy. Are they Shrek's people or Tang Sect's people?
He opened his eyes, a faint chill running through them. If it weren't for the fact that their Tang Clan was in dire need of manpower, he would have already found a way to deal with those traitorous good-for-nothings.
Do they really think they don't know they have a secret connection with Long Yeyue? Their actions this time are definitely related to Long Yeyue as well.
Thinking of this, Zang Xin sighed helplessly again. If his trusted general Hu Jie were here, he wouldn't have to worry about so much.
As members of the Tang Clan, they were all so wary of Shrek Academy, doing everything with excessive caution. They were nowhere near as reliable as Hu Jie, an outsider.
Evil Soul Masters are the common enemy of all of them. This time they dared to attack ordinary people and a Soul Guiding Train. Who knows, they might dare to launch sneak attacks on other major forces, including their Tang Sect, in the future.
There's no way you can guard against thieves a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. Why keep such a menace around if you don't get rid of them?
I wonder how that deadbeat is doing now! Taking out a blood-red sword pendant, Zang Xin fell into deep thought.
“Huanyun, all the Soul Guidance Trains in the Federation have stopped operating. Let’s take this Black-level Mech to Mingdu.”
"Did an evil spirit master do this?"
"It's them!"
Upon hearing Chen Xinjie's answer, a serious look flashed in Zhang Huanyun's eyes.
We must unite all families and major powers to teach these evil soul masters a lesson. They dared to attack the Sea God family today and hijack the soul-guided train, bringing the entire Federation's train routes to a standstill.
Tomorrow, will they be storming Mingdu and bombarding Shrek City? Will this threaten their Blood God Legion? Thinking about this only strengthened Zhang Huanyun's resolve.
After boarding Chen Xinjie's mecha, Chen Xinjie volunteered to be the driver and apologize to Zhang Huanyun.
"I'm sorry, Huanyun, but Xinhai and Zewen suddenly called the family back."
"It's nothing! Your Sea God family is also in trouble this time, it's only right that they go back to help." Zhang Huanyun waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.
"Half of the War Gods of the War God Temple have gone to suppress the evil Soul Masters. After they return, I will send a few more to replace Xin Hai and the others. Also, this is a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive."
Looking at the storage soul tool flying towards him, Zhang Huanyun fell into deep thought.
Chapter 221 Heroes Gather in Mingdu, the Sea God Family Flees Overnight
"This……"
Zhang Huanyun looked at the storage soul tool, unsure whether she should accept it.
I think Chen Xinjie won't cling to him after this.
"Hahaha! Take it. I was so foolish before, I didn't even help you comrades who are also in the military. There are some cultivation resources and rare metals inside, consider it my compensation to the soldiers."
Since Chen Xinjie had already said so, Zhang Huanyun had no choice but to accept the storage soul tool. It would be too disrespectful to refuse.
Seeing that Zhang Huanyun accepted his apology, Chen Xinjie smiled but said nothing.
As the journey progressed, the atmosphere between the two eased at a visible speed, and they chatted and laughed all the way.
After Zhang Huanyun's several attempts to probe, when he discovered that Chen Xinjie had finally stopped thinking about Long Yeyue, he felt that the outside world had become a better place.
As the top military officer, Chen Xinjie's abilities are beyond question, and even Zhang Huanyun greatly admires his military skills.
His strength is beyond reproach; as a quasi-god level powerhouse with a four-word battle armor, Chen Xinjie ranks among the top Limit Douluo Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent.
Aside from the matter of Long Yeyue, where the other party was truly clueless, several high-ranking military officials simultaneously took action to suppress him and try to replace him.
But now the other person has let go of those feelings, and Zhang Huanyun could even vaguely detect his disgust for Shrek Academy in his tone. Could it be that love has turned to hate?
After a while, at Zhang Huanyun's insistence, the two switched places. Chen Xinjie gave up the driver's seat to the other person, who then drove the rest of the way.
Time slipped by unnoticed as the two talked. The black-class mech that Chen Xinjie was piloting had its speed capabilities specially enhanced during its construction.
In less than two and a half days, the two flew from the Endless Mountains, located at the westernmost edge of the continent, to Mingdu, the federal capital located in the center of the continent.
As the two headed toward the Federation, military leaders such as Yu Guanzhi of the Central Army Corps, Dong Zian of the Western Army Corps, Le Zhengen of the Southern Army Corps, and Yin Moshang of the Northwest Army Corps gathered together.
Seeing that Le Zheng'en, who had been stationed in the Southern Army for many years and had not set foot in Mingdu for many years, had come to hold the meeting in person this time.
In addition to many high-ranking military officials, powerful figures from the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, Xuanming Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan also came to listen in.
The council members were all taken aback by the scene. How many years had it been? The Federation hadn't been this lively in a long time. Prominent families and forces from all over the continent were sending people to Mingdu.
Upon receiving the news, the Federal Speaker was terrified. Those damned Holy Spirit Cults were going to get him killed! They had their fun hijacking the train, but what about him? He was the one being blamed!
Now that so many Soul Masters have gathered, he knows without a doubt they've come to demand an explanation from him.
....................................
Leading Zhang Huanyun into a conference room inside the Federal Building, Chen Xinjie opened the door and greeted the seven people sitting inside with a smile.
"Everyone! It's been a long time. It feels like it's been more than ten years since we've all been together like this." Chen Xinjie walked into the conference room with Zhang Huanyun, a smile on his face.
Upon seeing Zhang Huanyun's arrival, the legion commanders greeted him with curiosity.
Yu Guanzhi waved his hand helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it! We old brothers are usually tied up with a lot of things. Huanyun is even more burdened with important responsibilities and is stationed in the Endless Mountains year-round. If it weren't for this meeting, we old brothers wouldn't know when we would have been able to meet again."
"Yes! Not only Huan Yun, but even Lao Le is willing to leave their Southern Legion this time. Isn't that right, Lao Le!" Yin Moshang nudged Le Zheng'en beside him with his elbow.
The other party slapped Yin Moshang's elbow away in annoyance: "What do you mean by 'willing to come out'? You make me sound like a shut-in. If I don't handle the huge mess that's going to happen to us in the Southern Legion, do you think you can do it? And you're just making sarcastic remarks."
"Hahaha! Just kidding, just kidding. It's been so many years since we last met."
"Exactly, Lao Le, you're such a grown man, how come you're getting more and more like a child? You're making jokes all the time."
"You're talking nonsense! You, Dong Zi'an, could take a joke back then. But as you keep joking, you've revealed your wolfish claws."
"No! Why are you bringing up my past? You were the same. Who was it that was fighting over the Nan family's little girl back then?"
"Go to hell..."
Watching the several legion commanders making a ruckus and smiling, Guo Zhenfeng, the commander of the Northern Legion, remained indifferent, his eyes fixed on the exquisite patterns on the teacup in front of him.
Among the nine legions, their Northern Legion was the weakest, and his cultivation and combat strength were also the weakest among all the legion commanders. He had been trying his best to minimize his presence from the moment he arrived.
Several older men were recounting embarrassing stories from other people's youth, but could a young man like him possibly listen to such things? Wouldn't he just passively fall asleep while listening?
Seeing Guo Zhenfeng trying his best to curl up into a ball, Chen Xinjie and the others burst into laughter.
"Hey! Who are you trying to impress with that posture, you grown man! Straighten up!" The commander of the Northern Navy Corps sitting next to Dong Zi'an chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"What you all say is true!" Guo Zhenfeng straightened up awkwardly and looked at the several legion commanders around him.
