Digital Phantom's answer was impartial, leaving the military with no recourse.
In the end, they simply were not wealthy enough to produce a magical artifact, so naturally they could not order these lords around.
The two fleets joined up and soon arrived at Snowfield Star.
The military still wanted to invite the Digital Phantom Team to land first, host them for a while, and then begin the operation.
Even the United Association did not dare object to this suggestion—it was the most basic social etiquette.
Donald merely stated that the United Association had already made ample preparations to receive them, so there was no need for the military to trouble itself further.
However, Qinghu responded, "We're not interested in this sort of empty formality. Let's get on with the real business as soon as possible."
That blunt attitude left everyone rather speechless. These people obsessed with cultivation were far too unreasonable.
Then everyone began discussing what methods should be used to search for the spies.
The United Association put forward several plans, but after Qu Jianlei and the others heard them, they felt they were somewhat unnecessary.
Qinghu simply asked in a deep voice, "So what you mainly want is to uncover the hidden Supremes?"
