Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 407 Making Things Difficult for Gu Yuena

Shen Yue is currently unaware that, in a place unknown to her, her most trusted subordinates are secretly plotting a rebellion in collusion with outsiders.

At this moment, she was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to report this to the Federation. The Northern Navy, on the other hand, possessed large military-grade detection radar, allowing them to easily capture clear images of the air.

In fact, if the Northern Navy wanted to shoot Tang Wulin and his group down from the air, it would not be difficult at all. With the Northern Navy's air defense system, a barrage of soul-guided shells would be absolutely unavoidable.

But can they really do that? Even if Tang Wulin and his group "borrowed" the plane, their special status means they can't use drastic measures, otherwise, there could be serious problems.

Therefore, they could only use relatively gentle methods to bring them back.

However, one side is reckless and only thinks about how to escape, while the other side is hesitant and dares not use violence. From this point of view, it is destined that Shen Yue will have a hard time capturing Tang Wulin and the others.

Faced with Shen Yue and her group's attempt to capture them, Tang Wulin and his six companions, after confirming that they had reached the airspace above the military training area, performed a parachute jump without parachuting, successfully evading capture by the military.

Even though the other party was from Shrek Academy, Shen Yue still bears some responsibility for losing a brand-new fighter jet.

As for going down to capture Tang Wulin and his group? That's not feasible. For the Northern Navy Legion, the Devil's Islands are practically a forbidden zone.

Even Shen Yue wouldn't dare let her subordinates in so easily.

This was because she had once sent people to try and reach that island, since every student from Shrek Academy's inner court would come here for training. This tradition was no secret to her, given her access to military records.

However, in the end, they returned empty-handed. Even the person Shen Yue sent seemed to become mentally unstable after returning.

Shortly after, she received a communication from her superiors, in which they severely criticized her actions and strictly ordered her not to touch the island. Therefore, the island remained a mystery to her.

When Kela saw Tang Wulin and the others, along with the Sky Soaring 17 fighter jet, fall into Devil Island, he knew that the situation was under control.

If she then allows her subordinates to steal more fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, Shen Yue's guilt will only increase.

Since the warehouse manager is taking the blame anyway, it's not unreasonable for him to line his own pockets. Even if he was coerced by the evil soul master into stealing so many soul-guided cannonballs, federal law doesn't care about that. In the end, that warehouse manager will definitely be shot.

Since he's going to die anyway, he should maximize his gains. It's time for the Oukes on his side to make their appearance.

……

Looking into the distance, everything is shrouded in white mist.

Fors stood there quietly. It was a platform, a platform suspended high in the air, and behind her stood the towering Spirit Pagoda.

This is the highest point of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. It is known as the Soaring Cloud Platform.

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about something?" A gentle voice sounded from behind.

Fors didn't turn around, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, just a bit sentimental. After all, the scenery here is probably going to change soon."

Cold Rhyme Douluo Xia Zheng slowly walked to her side and said, "After all, the Chimera Soul Beast on the main body side also needs a lot of souls to evolve. Moreover, Shrek Academy has been the continent's overlord for too long; it's time to move up the ranks."

"After Shrek Academy is destroyed, the power of our Spirit Pagoda will probably surge. At that time, we will try our best to push you to the forefront. After all, our younger generation needs someone to set the tone."

Fors turned her head. "Can't you handle this yourselves?"

Xia Zheng sneered, "Because it's more interesting this way. Although many of the higher-ups at headquarters are now our people, it's still not a one-man show."

Fors rolled her hair in boredom. "Can't we just turn them all into ours?"

"That's so boring! You know, some of our people in the Federation are really good at this, like in Infernal Affairs or spy movies. Sometimes they're even on our own, but because of the hawks' and doves' debates, they always like to backstab each other."

"Oh, right." Xia Zhengleng seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Gu Yuena has been constantly challenging the younger generation in the Spirit Pagoda lately. Tianfeng seems to be helping her become the first in line to succeed the future tower master of the Spirit Pagoda."

"After all, they are master and disciple." Fors showed a hint of interest. "In the great plan for the revival of the soul beast race, the Spirit Pagoda is an obstacle that Gu Yuena cannot bypass."

After all, this place holds information about all kinds of Soul Masters, as well as Soul Spirits, the Spirit Ascension Platform, and so on. If she could control this place, her many methods would probably be easier to execute.

Xia Zheng nodded coldly. "Although she seems to be behaving herself for now, according to the information I've received, she seems to have already begun trying to infiltrate the Spirit Pagoda."

"In some of the lower-level Spirit Ascension Platforms, she has already begun to secretly plant her own people. Although they claim to be from her family, I probably don't need to explain the nature of Gu Yuena's family."

Fors asked curiously, "So, what is Gu Yuena's current location in the Spirit Pagoda?"

Xia Zheng tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Right now, she doesn't hold any official position in the Spirit Pagoda, only the identity of a Heavenly Phoenix Disciple. Because of this identity, most department heads and branch tower masters will give her face."

The title of "disciple of the deputy tower master" is more of a nominal one.

It's similar to Qian Gu Zhang Ting, the grandson of the current Tower Master Qian Gu Dong Feng. Although he's currently in seclusion and doesn't have much real power or status, those who know him call him something like "Young Tower Master."

He doesn't have real power, but he has powerful connections. That's why he has a high status.

"If we're really talking about status and position, Gu Yuena is currently just an idle person. Her recent challenge to the younger generation of the Spirit Pagoda is also to officially establish her reputation."

"At the same time, she is also undergoing an assessment. If she passes, she will have the status of a prospective Spirit Transmission Envoy and officially enter the upper echelons of the Spirit Transmission Tower."

One tower master, two deputy tower masters, four spirit messengers, and thirty-six councilors representing various family factions, totaling forty-three people. These are the high-ranking members who truly determine the development of the Spirit Tower organization.

The Spirit Pagoda is a relatively democratic institution. Even the Pagoda Master cannot do whatever he wants, but he does have veto power, which is the most powerful aspect of the system.

The deputy tower master and the spirit messenger each have two votes, second only to the tower master's three votes. Each council elder has one vote. Whenever there is a major decision to be made, it is time for a collective vote.

The two deputy tower masters and the four spirit messengers were elected not only because they had made significant contributions to the Spirit Pagoda organization, but more importantly, because they represented the pinnacle of the Spirit Pagoda's combat power. They were at least at the level of Super Douluo.

The prospective Spirit Transmission Envoys are the candidates for the four main Spirit Transmission Envoys. Their status in the Spirit Transmission Tower is second only to the forty-three individuals, and they can be considered equal to ordinary branch tower masters.

If Gu Yuena passes the test, she will be considered a person with real power in the Spirit Pagoda.

It is worth mentioning that there are quite a few prospective spirit messengers in the Spirit Pagoda. They not only need to demonstrate formidable combat power, but also need to make some kind of actual contribution.

Only after one of the four Spirit Transmission Envoys retires can the other take over the position.

"So what position do you plan to assign me?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zheng immediately smiled happily. "Don't worry, we have people in the Spirit Pagoda. You don't need to go through the trouble of taking the test like Gu Yue. As for your status, you are Qingfeng's disciple. In terms of the system, you are treated like a daughter by Qingfeng and me."

"Settings?" Fors scoffed. "That sounds kind of weird."

"Relax, relax." Xia Zheng waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile, "Anyway, Qingfeng and I have been together for so many years and still don't have any children. Now that I've met my husband's disciple, my maternal instincts have kicked in, and I'm treating her like a daughter. Isn't that perfectly normal?"

As she spoke, she looked at Fors expectantly, "How about it? This setting is reasonable, right? As my and Qingfeng's daughter, even if we secretly give you special treatment, that guy Qian Gu Dongfeng won't say anything."

"After all, Qingfeng's relationship with the Qiangu family is still quite strained. With this status, the two of us can stand up for you. If something happens, I can act irrationally, because women are always emotional, especially a mother who has just had a daughter."

Is it possible that if I simply say I am a disciple of Qian Gu Qing Feng, others will know that there are two of you standing behind me?

"No!" Xia Zheng coldly hugged Fors tightly, burying her head in something soft.

"I really want a daughter! After all, at our level of cultivation, having offspring is incredibly difficult. Could you please grant me this wish?"

As she spoke, Xia Zhengleng puffed out her chest, giving Fors a taste of her face wash.

Fors hesitated for a moment, but realizing she couldn't win against her, she could only say helplessly, "Fine, I agree."

Xia Zheng Leng was overjoyed upon hearing this and hugged Fors even tighter, saying, "She truly is my daughter."

"Don't go too far." Fors felt like she was having trouble breathing, and with a forceful movement, she broke free from her embrace, straightened her collar, and said, "So, what are your plans for me going forward? What stance should I take in the Spirit Pagoda?"

Xia Zheng Leng pressed her finger to her lips and thought for a moment. "Well, we haven't decided yet, but we've decided to go against Gu Yuena and make things difficult for her."

Remember how she later manipulated human soul masters by creating artificial ten-thousand-year soul rings and such? Well, let's focus on that, specifically targeting her, and making things difficult for her in other ways.

Fors complained, "You guys have such terrible personalities!"

"What, aren't you interested?"

"No." Fors smiled slightly. "I'm extremely interested."

Xia Zheng Leng seized the opportunity again, hugging Fors tightly and rubbing her cheek against hers. "Alright, let's do the battle armor rating first. You should already be a three-word battle armor master, right?"

"Hmm, it's a pity that Lufa can't forge four-word battle armor yet."

"Oh dear, Heavenly Forged Metal isn't something that can be easily forged. His current cultivation level is only seventy-eight. He'll have to wait until he reaches the Soul Douluo level before he can even attempt Heavenly Forging. You're only nineteen years old now, and the reputation of a Three-Word Battle Armor Master is enough."

"That's true." Fors nodded, then looked at Xia Zheng, who was hugging her, and said coldly, "By the way, can you let go of me? I can walk by myself."

"No." Xia Zheng coldly hugged Fors as she walked towards the elevator of the Spirit Tower. "This is a declaration of sovereignty."

"If others see me holding you so intimately, they will know just how close you, Qingfeng, and I are. This will only benefit your future career, and will not do you any harm."

"I just hope there aren't any strange rumors."

……

Nighttime, the Northern Navy Corps.

Clara stood expressionless in front of a military barracks. In front of him, a major seemed to be having a nightmare, his brow furrowing from time to time, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Several colonels and lieutenants were also present around Kra.

"Tsk tsk, how long has it been? More than four months, right? Now the high-ranking officers of the Northern Navy Corps are having nightmares every now and then," a senior colonel joked.

Kra calmly said, "This must be the work of those guys on Devil Island. After Tang Wulin and his group entered Devil Island, our higher-ups have been having nightmares all the time. This is no coincidence."

"The former Shrek Seven Devils inside, although dead, were washed by life energy and destructive energy, and lived in a form that was neither human nor ghost, and also possessed some strange abilities, which should be the power of the Seven Deadly Sins under the command of the God of Destruction."

"Right now, they should be training Tang Wulin and the others, and who in this area could be more suitable than our Northern Navy Legion to provide sparring partners? And of all people, they had to choose the higher-ups of the Northern Navy Legion. It seems they really harbor deep resentment towards the people of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Yes. After Tang Wulin and his group entered Devil's Island, the entire high command of the Northern Navy began to have inexplicable nightmares, from Legion Commander Shen Yue down to some majors.

Every night, they would have strange nightmares in which they were either kidnapped by one of the Shrek Seven Devils or had some kind of military secret stolen by them.

This has caused some anxiety among the high-ranking officials of the North Sea Fleet; some have even begun to lose sight of what is reality and what is illusion.
