Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 597 Ten days?
"Nana, let's go to the Spiritual Pagoda branch in Tianhai City to rest first."

Qiangu Zhangting had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes full of concern, and his gaze followed Gu Yuena's figure closely, as if her every move could touch his heart.

"No." Gu Yuena shook her head gently, her expression calm, her tone indifferent but revealing an unquestionable firmness, "I want to meet the governor of Tianhai City first and discuss with him the promotion of artificial ten thousand year souls."

"With official endorsement, it will be much easier to promote the artificial ten thousand year soul. For this reason, we can also choose to give some of the profits to these local officials and families."

"Although doing so will result in a certain loss of interests, it will also better tie these local officials to the chariot of our Spiritual Pagoda. After all, I believe that no one can resist money."

The plan of creating an artificial ten thousand year soul occupies a pivotal position in Gu Yuena's heart. It is the key layout she has planned for the revival of the soul beast clan. Every detail has been carefully considered and no mistakes are allowed.

After several rounds of intense negotiations and dealings with Fors, Gu Yuena finally reached a consensus with the other party. Today, the project of artificial ten thousand year soul has been gradually promoted in various cities in the central part of the continent.

Gu Yuena came to Tianhai City this time, and the reason she announced was to inspect the progress of the promotion of artificial ten thousand year souls.

Qiangu Zhangting looked at Gu Yuena, his eyes flashing with an infatuation that was difficult to conceal. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly: "In this case, then I will accompany you."

"No need." Gu Yuena refused without hesitation, her tone was crisp and clear, without the slightest bit of dragging her feet, "I am an old acquaintance of the Archon of Tianhai City, and I am confident that I can convince him to help. You should go and say hello to the Master of the Spirit Pagoda here, and ask him to make preparations in advance."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qiangu Zhangting still maintained that smiling look. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still tried hard to suppress his emotions and didn't want Gu Yuena to see his unhappiness.

Gu Yuena reached out to stop a soul guide taxi. She ignored Qiangu Zhangting behind her and got into the car directly, saying clearly to the driver: "Go to the governor's residence."

Then, she leaned back in her chair, slowly closed her eyes, and began to rest, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"Nana, I will come to find you soon." Qiangu Zhangting waved goodbye to the soul guide taxi that was getting farther and farther away. His eyes followed the figure of the car closely until the car disappeared at the end of the street, and then he slowly put down his arm.

"When I usually talk to Nana, she rarely responds to me. But today she explained so much to me. This is a really good start."

Qiangu Zhangting murmured in a low voice, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

Since the moment he first saw Gu Yuena, he, who had been practicing since childhood and had seen countless people, was deeply attracted to this beautiful girl with a cold temperament.

Gu Yuena not only has a stunning appearance, but her talent is also outstanding and amazing. Even Qiangu Dongfeng has a discerning eye for her, and she is also the favorite disciple of the deputy tower master Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu.

In Qiangu Zhangting's opinion, Gu Yuena is a perfect match for him in terms of ability, status and appearance. She is simply the perfect partner given to him by God.

However, Gu Yuena's attitude towards him had always been lukewarm, and she often simply ignored his existence, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qiangu Zhangting.

You know, as the grandson of Qiangu Dongfeng, the young patriarch of the Qiangu clan, and the top second-generation figure in the Spirit Transmission Tower, there are countless women who take the initiative to show their affection to him and throw themselves into his arms.

But Qiangu Zhangting looked down on them. In his heart, those women were nothing but vain and coveted his identity and status.

But Gu Yuena was completely different. Her attitude towards him always remained cold and distant, which instead aroused Qiangu Zhangting's strong desire to conquer him deep in his heart.

The colder she was to him, the more he longed to get into her heart and win her heart.

The soul-guided taxi drove slowly on the streets of Tianhai City. Gu Yuena opened the window slightly, and the sea breeze mixed with a faint salty smell blew in her face, gently brushing her hair and cheeks.

She felt a rare sense of relaxation, staring out the window blankly, her eyes somewhat empty. For her, it was so rare to have such a moment of leisure time.

On weekdays, she not only had to work day and night for the soul beast clan's revival plan and run around, but also had to compete with Fors in wits and courage at the meeting in the Spirit Pagoda. She took every step carefully and cautiously, as if treading on thin ice. This was undoubtedly an extremely tiring task.

When she thought of Fors, Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel a trace of indignation in her eyes. Although Fors finally made concessions and let her go on the matter of artificially creating a ten-thousand-year soul, she was always troubled by him from time to time in the preparations for the Ten Thousand Beasts Arena.

The reason Fors gave was also very sufficient: the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform was, after all, a small plane, and an unstable one at that. Once a problem arose, the Spirit Transfer Tower would inevitably become a laughing stock in the outside world.

This reason really hits the nail on the head. The current Wanshoutai does lack a stable core to consolidate, and there is a risk of problems.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuena couldn't find anything suitable to stabilize the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform, so every time she faced Fors's difficulties, she could only swallow her anger helplessly. One can imagine how depressed she felt.

It would have been fine if she had been suppressed by Fors during the meeting at the Spirit Pagoda, but after the meeting, that ignorant fellow Qiangu Zhangting actually dared to harass her.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's eyes flashed with disgust. Her attitude was already cold and clear enough, but Qiangu Zhangting was like a follower who couldn't be shaken off, always approaching her in the name of his grandfather Qiangu Dongfeng.

If she didn't need Qiangu Dongfeng's support and the Spirit Pagoda as a cover for her revival plan, she would have asked Di Tian to slap this annoying guy to death long ago.

……

The entire Tianhai City was plunged into a tense atmosphere after the huge explosion.

The people stayed indoors. For most of them, it was the first time they felt the atmosphere of war that could break out at any time.

Although the East China Sea Fleet has always been docked in Tianhai City, for the vast majority of the people, they have never experienced the taste of war!
The roar and the tsunami that almost rushed into the city filled them with fear.

More people stayed at home, watching the news on Soul Guide TV and keeping an eye on the development of the situation.

"According to the clues that have been discovered, this attack is likely to have come from the secret forces of the Star Luo Empire. The Federation strongly condemns this. Relevant military personnel said that if the evidence is conclusive, more intense retaliatory actions will be taken."

News is endless. In addition to condemning the attackers of this attack, there are also experts analyzing the possibility of war, as well as the comparison of military strength and military comparison between the Federation and the Star Luo Empire, etc.

All the news seems to be revealing a signal that war may start at any time!
East China Sea Corps Joint Command.

At this time, the atmosphere in the joint command center was solemn. In the main seat, the commander-in-chief of the three fleets, Hanhai Douluo Chen Xinjie, had a solemn expression on his face and sat there quietly.

His aura was as abyssal as a prison, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable. The depressing atmosphere in the entire command center was mostly caused by Chen Xinjie.

The soldiers sitting on both sides of the long table were all high-ranking military officers. The major general could only sit at the end of the table. The two men sitting at the top of the table, like him, were also generals.

But even though they are both admirals, they are much weaker in aura.
According to the military rank of Douluo Federation, besides the Federation Marshal holding the rank of General, Admiral is already the highest rank. And according to the different positions, even if they are both Admirals, there will be differences in rank. There is no doubt that the one who can sit in the main seat here is naturally the top senior of the military. He is also a big shot in the current Federation who can shake the world with a stomp of his feet.

"Commander-in-chief, based on all the current information, we have determined that the attackers may be from the Star Luo Empire military. We have now launched a comprehensive reconnaissance to search for any suspicious persons." A major general sitting in the first seat said respectfully.

"Xingluo Empire?" Chen Xinjie, who was sitting in the main seat, had a stern expression on his face, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes as he swept his gaze across the faces of the officers on both sides of the long table.

"Is your IQ low, or are you insulting mine? Everyone has a purpose for doing anything. Okay! Tell me, what is the purpose of the Xing Luo Empire attacking us at this time?"

"Also, why was it that all the crew members of the battleship that was attacked were not on board? They are really good at choosing. Old Xu, the battleship is yours, tell me."

Chen Xinjie said to the first admiral below.

The admiral's face was equally grim. A black-class battleship was so valuable that even without ammunition, the cost of building such a battleship would be an astronomical figure.

Admiral Xu Yangyun, the current deputy commander of the North Sea Corps and former deputy chief of the Federal Army General Staff, was in a mood that could not be described as simply terrible.

It was depressing enough that he failed to compete for the position of legion commander when he was parachuted into the North Sea Legion.

Xu Yangyun chose to lead the North Sea Legion to participate in the war in order to gain enough merits when conquering the other two continents. This way, when he returns to the North Sea Legion, he will be qualified enough to compete with Kara for the position of the leader of the North Sea Legion.

Now that this has happened, if he cannot make amends for his mistake, then he can forget about competing with Kara for the position of legion commander.

"Investigate thoroughly, it must be investigated thoroughly, no matter who it is, investigate to the end!" Xu Yangyun slammed the table.

Chen Xinjie looked at his flushed face and nodded, "This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly. First of all, we should start with self-inspection. Which general is in charge of the radar department of the joint fleet?"

A pale-faced major general sitting in the back stood up and saluted, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, it's me."

"Catch him!" Chen Xinjie said calmly.

Immediately, two sturdy soldiers came in from outside and lifted up the major general.

"Commander-in-chief, I'm innocent! This has nothing to do with me!" The major general was suddenly panicked. He knew very well how ruthless the commander-in-chief was. If he was caught, he would be finished.

"Merroneous duty, these two words are enough to convict you. Take you away for interrogation." Chen Xinjie sentenced the man in a concise manner.

For a moment, the other generals involuntarily sat up straight, but many of them were sweating on their foreheads. Even the face of Admiral Xu Yangyun, the deputy head of the Beihai Corps, who had blushed before, changed.

"No matter who it is, no matter what the reason, anyone who dares to attack the combined fleet will be punished and investigated thoroughly!"

"report!"

At this moment, a guard shouted outside the door.

The commander-in-chief's face darkened, "What is it?"

The guard walked in quickly, stood at attention and saluted, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, a group of soldiers in strange uniforms have arrived outside the camp. They said they are inspectors specially sent by the federal headquarters. They learned that the fleet was attacked and came here to investigate."

"A special inspector from the Federation headquarters?" Chen Xinjie's face darkened. "Bring the leader in. I want to see who sent the inspector from the Federation."

The other generals of the Combined Fleet were also somewhat puzzled. The Federation sent inspectors? Could it be that they were specifically targeting the Combined Fleet Command?

According to military regulations, there is generally a special department that is specifically responsible for supervising combat troops.

However, the specifications of the combined fleet this time are different! The commander-in-chief of the combined fleet is the contemporary War God Temple master, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie. Who dares to touch this man's tiger whiskers? Especially at this time, this man is angry, isn't this courting death?

Given Chen Xinjie's position in the military, if he really wanted to find a reason to execute one or two people, no one would dare to say anything.

Not long after, a young man in white military uniform walked in from outside, led by a guard.

"Hello, respected commander. I am a special commissioner from the Supervisory Department of the Federal Army Headquarters. My code name is Blood Dragon." The young man stood five meters away from Chen Xinjie, clenched his right fist, and pounded it on his chest, performing a somewhat special military salute.

When Chen Xinjie saw the man in military uniform, a flash of realization flashed across his eyes. Especially when he saw the salute, he understood the identity of the man in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

Xuelong said, "We were not originally responsible for supervising the combined fleet, but we suspect that the combined fleet's attack is related to the matter we are investigating. The current blockade of Tianhai City has affected our actions, so I came to ask for a meeting. If possible, I would like to talk to you alone."

Unlike the outburst that most generals had expected, Admiral Chen Xinjie looked at the young man in front of him calmly, waved his hand, and said, "Take him down to rest first, and we'll talk after the meeting."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and the guards took the blood dragon away.

"It's Tang Wulin." The commander of the East Sea Legion, Aqiuya, looked at the young man who was taken away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The military meeting was still going on, but what followed was mostly confidentiality work regarding the destruction of the warship and appeasing the public.

After making some arrangements, Chen Xinjie ended the meeting and walked towards the lounge.

No one knew what Tang Wulin and Chen Xinjie talked about. However, Chen Xinjie then issued an order within the military: within ten days, the three legions would completely blockade Tianhai City.

"It seems that Tang Wulin has convinced me." Aqiya looked at the order and couldn't help but sneer.

"Give them ten days?"

Akuya was not at all surprised that Chen Xinjie was persuaded by Tang Wulin. It was probably because Tang Wulin activated the Tang family skill: "Do you dare to bet with me?" and successfully persuaded the other party.
