"Qian Gu Dongfeng, there is nowhere left for you to run."
The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters building had already been sealed off. Floor by floor, from the bottom upward, the military forces brought by the War God Temple and Yu Guan Zhi took control, eventually reaching the top floor—the floor where Qian Gu Dongfeng's office was located.
Outside the building, Mechas were spread out around the entire structure. Dozens of black Mechas raised both hands, their arms lined with Soul Cannon ports. Those ports radiated intense energy fluctuations as they aimed at the top floor, ready to fire at any moment.
Qian Gu Dongfeng sat alone in his office, leaning back in his chair with his head tilted up toward the ceiling, his eyes closed.
He had heard Yu Guan Zhi's words.
Only now did Qian Gu Dongfeng seem to wake from a dream.
I'm going to die.
Boundless terror surged through Qian Gu Dongfeng's heart, followed by an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
The instant he had spoken with Ghost Emperor and watched the two God-Slaying Missiles descend with his own eyes, he had been completely stunned.
Even then, he had known something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, if the God-Slaying Missiles had been stolen and no target could be locked onto, it would have been impossible even to form an investigation team. It could all have been attributed to the Evil Soul Masters' extraordinary methods, claiming that they had truly stolen two God-Slaying Missiles from beneath the Federation's layers of defense.
But because of Su Ming's appearance, because of the Evil-Illuminating Mirror, the Evil Soul Masters' theft of the God-Slaying Missiles proved that there was a problem within the Federation itself.
There was no room to delay an internal investigation.
Furthermore, the God-Slaying Missiles had been transported into Shrek City.
