The precision of the question made the guide break out in a cold sweat.
But the awkward silence lasted only an instant before Qian Gu Dong Feng caught it.
"Hehe."
"Rest assured, everyone. Even Beast God Di Tian cannot destroy Star Dou Fortress's protective barrier in an instant. The time he would need to attack the barrier would be enough for us to react."
"The observation station here is the frontline position. The staff will notify Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters at once, and I will personally lead the vice pagoda masters and Spirit Transfer Envoys to surround Di Tian."
"Moreover, Shrek Academy, which calls itself the continent's guardian and a lover of peace, will certainly not tolerate ferocious beasts emerging to wreak havoc upon the human world."
"Shrek Academy's main campus, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and Star Dou Fortress's frontline position are all very close to one another. If an accident truly occurs, Star Dou Fortress will immediately notify Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion."
"Given Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming's title as the continent's number one, I believe he would arrive even faster than I could."
"So, there is no need for concern or worry."
As the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and a Limit Douluo, Qian Gu Dong Feng held an exalted position.
The reason he had lowered himself to personally lead these politicians on a tour and provide explanations was naturally to build momentum for pushing through a bill in the Federal Parliament to fully develop the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest and secure exclusive development rights for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
What he had just said could also drag Yun Ming and Shrek Academy into the matter, killing two birds with one stone.
The many politicians in the Federal delegation all nodded, lowering their heads as they discussed among themselves and repeatedly voiced their agreement.
Just as Qian Gu Dong Feng was feeling pleased with himself, a middle-aged man in thick glasses spoke again in a stiff, old-fashioned tone.
"Pagoda Master Qian Gu, I still have one question."
Without waiting for Qian Gu Dong Feng to respond, he directly posed it.
"Is it possible that the soul beast race possesses individuals with unusual abilities who could sneak past Star Dou Fortress?"
"According to historical records, soul beasts have existed for so long that their origins can no longer be traced."
"Their countless races are diverse and possess vastly different abilities, which has also created the prosperity of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's soul spirit industry today."
"As far as I know, spatial-attribute soul beasts do exist in this world. They can cross physical distances, teleport without obstruction, and evade detection by advanced soul guidance devices."
Standing above them, Qian Gu Dong Feng gave the middle-aged man a deep look, a flash of ruthlessness passing through his eyes.
Yet on the surface, he still wore a gentle, detached expression.
"No, no. Even if a ferocious beast uses spatial power, our protective barrier will detect it."
"So there is still a possibility that a ferocious beast could escape?" The middle-aged man who had asked earlier cautiously picked out the flaw in his words.
"Escaping Star Dou Fortress's protective barrier may be possible, but escaping the range of influence of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and Shrek Academy is impossible!"
Qian Gu Dong Feng declared with absolute certainty:
"I guarantee it with my character: there will absolutely be no situation in which a ferocious beast enters human society and harms the Federation's citizens."
"Not even the continent's number one ferocious beast, Beast God Di Tian!"
Unlike his impassioned display, Qian Gu Dong Feng actually rather hoped Di Tian would escape and wreak havoc in human society. At most, a few more civilians would die.
Once Di Tian, this unstable factor, appeared on the continent, he would inevitably be hunted by the continent's strongest experts.
No matter how powerful Di Tian was, he could not possibly escape the joint siege of every powerful expert on the continent.
And after Di Tian was taken down?
What organization would be more suitable than the Spirit Transfer Pagoda to receive Di Tian's True Dragon Corpse?
If the Spirit Transfer Pagoda received Di Tian, it would be for soul spirit research and for the benefit of the continent. They would stand on the side of righteousness.
As for why Di Tian would escape Star Dou Fortress, and how the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would explain it?
Hehe, they would merely endure some criticism and spend some money to placate the public. What force would truly dare do anything to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda?
But the gains would be immense!
Di Tian's soul spirit! Di Tian's soul bone! They would surely elevate the Spirit Transfer Pagoda to an entirely new height.
At that thought, he suddenly turned around and stared through the soul guidance screen at the towering pines and lush greenery of the Star Dou Great Forest. Greed and savagery filled his eyes as he murmured:
"Di Tian, how wonderful it would be if you willingly became the Tower Suppressing Soul Spirit of my Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
While the Federal delegation's tour was in full swing, Di Tian had already reached the Far North Land.
As far as the eye could see, the northern snowfields stretched endlessly beneath a blanket of white.
The biting cold wind howled, yet it could not affect Di Tian in the slightest.
The Federation's Northern Legion, which guarded the continent's northern border, did not even notice Di Tian crossing their defensive line.
The moment he set foot in the Far North Land, Di Tian's vast Spiritual Power, as immense as an ocean, spread outward from his body in every direction.
Demon Empress was the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. At this point in time, the Holy Spirit Cult was hidden in the Far North Land, plotting to destroy the world.
Thus, no matter how deeply its headquarters was concealed, as long as a single Evil Soul Master showed himself, things would become much easier.
"Found you!"
Under the detection of his immense Spiritual Power, he successfully discovered an Evil Soul Master.
"Hm?"
As his Spiritual Power spread farther, a soul beast on the verge of completing its Hundred-Thousand-Year heavenly tribulation entered his senses.
And it lay directly in the path of the Evil Soul Masters. What would happen next went without saying.
Over the past ten thousand years, Di Tian had retained almost no memories of the Far North Land.
After the Silver Dragon King emerged, Di Tian had devoted every last ounce of his energy to Gu Yuena, leaving him no time to concern himself with the Far North Land.
Moreover, there was the precedent of the Evil Soul Forest being completely razed by humans after losing Evil Emperor's protection.
Di Tian had previously assumed, perhaps subconsciously, that after Snow Empress and Ice Empress followed Huo Yuhao in ascending to the Divine Realm, the Far North Land had also ceased to exist without any top-tier powerhouses to protect it.
Yet even if he had not seen this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Di Tian now knew that a sizable number of soul beasts still remained in the Far North Land.
It was precisely because of these Far North soul beasts that the Sun Moon Federation had stationed a legion of one hundred thousand troops in the north, guarding the continent's Northern Border against a possible beast tide.
Humans were creatures driven by profit. The Evil Soul Forest had been razed because its soul beasts could be used for soul spirit research, its ancient trees and mineral resources were valuable, and the vast plains left behind were suitable for settling the rapidly growing human population brought about by the swift development of Soul Guidance Technology.
But the Far North was bitterly cold, and its core region was practically a forbidden zone for human survival. Demand for ice-attribute soul spirits was also too low. Fully developing the Far North Land would cost too much and yield too little, making it unworthy of the effort.
That was why the Far North Land had been able to retain such a considerable number of soul beasts.
However, a little over ten years later, the Holy Spirit Cult would open a Space Channel in the Far North to draw in Abyssal Creatures. Once the Abyssal Creatures invaded, countless Far North soul beasts would perish, and their legacy would all but vanish, completely exiting the stage of history.
Now that Di Tian had encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in danger, he naturally could not stand by and do nothing.
By the time he rushed over, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, having just completed its tribulation, had already engaged the Evil Soul Masters in close combat.
