As for Shrek Academy joining forces with the Tang Sect?
Chen Yu could only say...
Was there really any difference between joining forces and not joining forces?
On the Douluo Plane, strength reigned supreme.
The Tang Sect did not even have a Peak Quasi-God now. If Shrek Academy were not backing them, they would not even qualify to enter the arena.
A force with barely any Quasi-Gods...
And they dared challenge him?
Chen Yu withdrew his gaze, lazily sat back down in his chair, picked up the Soul Communication Device on the desk, and dialed an encrypted channel.
"Get the Nail moving."
"I want all transaction records from Xuanshi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd. for the past five years, especially the destinations of Soul Tools and Soul Tool blueprints."
His voice was low, carrying an unquestionable chill.
A moment later, a concise yet firm reply came from the other end of the communicator.
"Yes."
Chen Yu set down the communicator, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.
Several days later.
A thick file envelope was delivered to Chen Yu's desk.
Chen Yu opened the envelope, pulled out the documents inside, and read through them page by page.
His gaze was calm as water, and his expression did not change at all. He merely nodded faintly from time to time, as though confirming something.
The records in the file were extremely detailed. The time, quantity, price, handler, and final destination of every transaction were clearly listed on paper.
As the Federation Council Chairman, he had long since planted his own informants among the major factions.
These informants normally needed to do nothing. They merely had to live and work as usual, like dormant seeds buried deep in the soil.
When he needed them, however, those seeds would break through the earth and bring him everything he wanted.
This time, he had activated the spy he had planted within Xuanshi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd.
He was a senior operative who had been undercover in the Tang Sect for many years. He had always worked diligently and had never aroused anyone's suspicions.
In his hands was evidence sufficient to condemn the Tang Sect to eternal damnation.
A detailed file documenting how the Tang Sect had used the company's name to purchase massive quantities of Soul Tools and Soul Tool blueprints.
The purchases themselves were not illegal. The issue was where those items had ultimately gone.
Chen Yu turned to the final page of the file, his gaze landing on the line of small print.
According to the records, all the Soul Tools and blueprints had ultimately been sent to a secret location in Skysea City, after which they vanished without a trace.
There were no registrations, no filings, and no explanation of any legal destination.
Batch after batch of Soul Tools, enough to equip a small army, had simply disappeared from the Tang Sect's accounts.
And Chen Yu, who knew the original plot...
Also knew that Skysea City housed a Tang Sect research facility hidden in the shadows.
It was a Tang Sect secret base that even the Federation's intelligence department knew nothing about, containing all kinds of ships and submarines...
And it was precisely through those things that the Tang Sect...
Had been able to continuously supply materials to the overseas Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire.
Supplying materials...
To the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire.
Chen Yu lightly tapped his fingers against the desk, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
One had to know that although the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire nominally maintained peace with the Sun Moon Federation...
They were still independent regimes in essence, forces outside the Federation.
Supplying military materials to foreign powers...
What crime was that?
Treason!
No matter what banner the Tang Sect raised.
No matter how lofty and righteous their reasons sounded.
This charge...
Was one they could never wash away!
It could be said...
That the Tang Sect could no longer escape a charge of treason.
Chen Yu closed the file, rose, and walked to the window. As he looked upon the countless lights of Ming Capital, distant starlight reflected in his eyes.
Chen Yu convened the Federation Council once more.
As soon as word spread, all of Ming Capital was shaken again.
The three hundred sixty-five council members had only just recovered from the previous meeting when they received another notice summoning everyone.
Everyone was guessing...
What was the chairman planning to do this time?
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had just been destroyed, Shrek Academy's Supreme Elder had just been killed, and the Federation was already in turmoil. Was the chairman going to make another move?
Several days later, Parliament Building.
The largest council chamber was packed to capacity.
All three hundred sixty-five council members had gathered again.
This time, however, their faces no longer held the confusion and shock of the previous meeting. In their place was a grave, scrutinizing look.
Every gaze was fixed tightly on Chen Yu atop the dais, all of them wanting to know what kind of storm this chairman was about to stir up.
The council chamber was very quiet, oppressively so.
Some council members sat, while others stood.
Some whispered among themselves, some silently leafed through the files in their hands, and some simply stared at the dais in silence, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.
The air in the council chamber...
Was thick with the oppressive feeling of a storm about to break.
They were also curious about why Chen Yu was convening meetings so frequently.
Last time...
He had cut off Shrek's resource support.
Then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was gone.
So what about this time?
Who would it be?
At that moment, Chen Yu stood on the dais, the Federation flag behind him.
He wore formal attire, his expression calm as his steady gaze swept across the room.
Without any unnecessary words, he directly raised a hand, signaling the staff behind him to display the evidence.
On the enormous Soul Tool screen in the center of the council chamber, files, receipts, and transaction records began scrolling past.
Every transaction was clearly visible.
Every number was shocking.
Then, Chen Yu took out that file.
The detailed file documenting how the Tang Sect had used Xuanshi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd. to purchase massive quantities of Soul Tools and Soul Tool blueprints, before secretly transporting those supplies to Skysea City.
He opened the file and displayed it page by page before everyone.
His voice was not loud, but every word clearly reached the ears of each council member present.
"Please take a look, everyone."
"These are the Tang Sect's transaction records from the past five years."
Chen Yu pointed to the information scrolling across the screen, his tone calm as water.
"Using the company's name, they purchased large quantities of military-grade Soul Tools and Soul Tool blueprints from all over the Federation."
"According to the records, every bit of these supplies was sent to Skysea City—"
"Then, they vanished completely."
He paused, sweeping his gaze across the room as his voice suddenly grew heavier.
"Skysea City should be familiar to all of you."
"According to years of tracking by the Federation intelligence department, a Tang Sect underground research facility is hidden there, specifically for developing ships and submarines."
"And the purpose of those ships and submarines..."
"Why don't you all take a guess?"
