Bai Haizhou was at a loss for words, and silence fell over the hall.
Gu Yu's expression grew even uglier, but he could find no suitable rebuttal.
Fang Mo was right. The Galactic Alliance was a subordinate power, not a slave. As the foremost power of the Martial World, the Tianli Sect could never openly seize things by force.
A knowing smile flashed in True Lord Qingshui's eyes. He sipped his tea and spoke at just the right moment to break the awkward silence. "The Holy Son has a point. Nothing under heaven comes free. Since every peak needs the power of mechas, there should naturally be rules governing it. Holy Son, have you given any comprehensive thought to the deployment and use of mecha forces?"
At those words, everyone's expression turned serious.
True Lord Qingshui was directly asking Fang Mo to set the rules.
Fang Mo nodded slightly to True Lord Qingshui, his gaze sweeping over the Vice Peak Masters and administrators present. He had known this day would come, so he had already thought it through.
"Since you ask, True Lord, I do have a few humble thoughts. We must not neglect the power of mechas. Used properly, they can add considerable strength to our Tianli Sect; if everyone goes their own way, however, they will only breed chaos. Our Taichu Peak intends to establish a new Technology Hall to oversee mechas and related technological matters, regulating their use and concentrating their strength."
"Is establishing a new hall really necessary?"
Gu Yu raised his brows and looked at Fang Mo with a scrutinizing gaze. He kept feeling that Fang Mo had some deeper purpose behind this move.
"Could you elaborate, Holy Son?" Venerable Thousand Feathers of Yun Que Peak looked interested.
