"Yue'er!"

The next moment, Chen Xinjie seemed to realize something, his expression tightened, and he instantly went to the messenger and asked:

"How's Shrek Academy doing?"

This question echoed the sentiments of many Federal Councilor, after all, they were graduates of the Shrek Academy!

"According to the news... Shrek Academy is destroyed..."

"Dead?" Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Federal Councilor changed drastically.

But some of it brought sorrow, while others brought a touch of excitement and joy.

Shrek Academy's influence on the Federation is considerable; even members of Congress who graduate from the Shrek Academy and enter the Federation automatically band together as alumni, forming a sizable group.

They can even influence Federation policy and direction to some extent!

If Shrek Academy perishes, then such groups will gradually disappear in the future, and more importantly...

If Shrek Academy perishes, then Shrek City, a major city that has been out of Federation control for thousands of years, will return to Federation administration!

Pan Wen had obviously thought of this as well, and his breathing quickened.

After all, every Federation Speaker dreams of conquering Shrek City. If he can do it, his name will be etched in history!

Chen Xinjie didn't care about these things at the moment, and continued to ask, "Didn't anyone from the Shrek Academy escape?"

"It seems the Light and Dark Douluo of the Sea God Pavilion made a strategic retreat before the God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell landed..."

The messenger quickly added, even embellishing the story a bit.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie instantly relaxed a bit.

"Immediately dispatch troops to aid Shrek City and investigate how the God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell was stolen!"

Pan Wen immediately gave the order; he could already see the credit beckoning to him.

After learning that Long Yeyue was alright, Chen Xinjie returned to his position as the head of the military and breathed a sigh of relief.

But as the conference room doors closed, the atmosphere changed completely.

"Chen Xinjie, two God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell the Federation prepared to deal with the Abyss Plane have been lost under your command. What explanation do you have?"

"And this is very likely a mistake caused by your seclusion during your tenure! You must take responsibility for your actions!"

Dong Zi'an looked coldly at Chen Xinjie and said in an icy tone.

He then slowly stood up:

"Chen Xinjie, it's time for you to step down!"

"You!"

Chen Xinjie's face was filled with anger, and his eyes were full of resentment.

"You have violated several Federation rules and should be removed from all your posts, shouldn't you?"

Dong Zi'an slowly approached Chen Xinjie and looked down at Chen Xinjie, who was in the position of the military leader.

"Even if I were to remove you from all your posts, it wouldn't be your turn to be the head of the military. Even if Yu Guanzhi were to take the position, it still wouldn't be your turn!" Chen Xinjie said in a low voice.

Yu Guanzhi, who was standing to the side, was taken aback when he heard this.

Who? Me?

Then, thinking that after Chen Xinjie stepped down, it would be his turn, Yu Guanzhi's face instantly lit up with pride, and he prepared to say a few words of advice to Dong Zi'an.

But then Dong Zi'an's voice rang out again.

"Oh? Why isn't it my turn?"

"You're not strong enough," Chen Xinjie said coldly.

"Boom!"

But as soon as Chen Xinjie finished speaking, a terrifying and magnificent aura swept out from Dong Zi'an, and in an instant, this aura as deep and as dark as a prison completely enveloped the entire conference room!

Dong Zi'an no longer concealed his imposing manner!

Quasi-God!

Everyone present fell silent.

"Am I now qualified?"

The banners fluttered in the Sun Moon Great Banner as Dong Zi'an looked down at Chen Xinjie with a calm expression.

"When did you break through?" Chen Xinjie asked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Logically speaking, with Dong Zi'an's talent, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Limit Douluo- Quasi-God. Could it be that Dong Zi'an took some kind of drug or Immortal Herb?

Yu Guanzhi, standing to the side, was even more shocked.

"Didn't we agree that we were all demigods, with me as the second-in-command in the military and you, Brother Dong, as the third? Why has it changed now?"

Although he was worried that Dong Zi'an's Western Legion was suffering too much, he didn't expect Dong Zi'an to be living such a good life!

"No, your foundation is too weak; you won't be able to win people's hearts!"

Chen Xinjie continued, his expression grim. He knew very well that Dong Zi'an, being of commoner origin, could not possibly have many allies within the Federation Legion...

"This regimental commander supports Regimental Commander Dong as the head of the military!"

At this moment, Shen Yue was the first to stand up and speak.

"I, the commander, agree!"

The commander of the Northwest Legion spoke slowly.

"I agree."

Yue Zhengen smiled slightly.

Instantly, three out of the military's eight legions stood on Dong Zi'an's side.

Chen Xinjie frowned as he looked at Yu Guanzhi, wanting Yu Guanzhi to stand up and compete with Dong Zi'an.

But then Dong Zi'an spoke meaningfully, "Brother Yu, don't forget our agreement. You must help this commander at the most crucial moment."

"I..." Yu Guanzhi hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke under Chen Xinjie's incredulous gaze:

"This commander agrees as well."

"You!" Chen Xinjie instantly felt like a clown who had been kept in the dark.

It turns out that the confrontation between Dong Zi'an and Yu Guanzhi was fake, and it might even have been a performance deliberately staged for him!

"In that case, Commander Dong will serve as the head of the military. Does anyone have any objections?"

Pan Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and said.

He knew very well that now the timing, location, and popular support were all on Dong Zi'an's side, and he had the support of four major legions. Even Yu Guanzhi had turned against him, so there was nothing more to say.

Furthermore, he might need Dong Zi'an's help to subdue Shrek City, since Dong Zi'an has long been at odds with the Shrek Academy and would definitely help him.

"Make way, you're taking my seat."

Dong Zi'an patted Chen Xinjie on the shoulder and forcibly took the Head Leader Badge from Chen Xinjie's hand.

Chen Xinjie was now nearly furious, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only get up...

But the next moment, as if remembering something, Chen Xinjie gritted his teeth and said, "I can resign from all my posts, but the position of Hall Master of the War God Temple must be held by Guan Yue!"

Now that he has lost his position as head of the military, he must consolidate his base of support.

The Sea God Legion would certainly obey him, so he had to keep a firm grip on the War God Temple.

This is not only because of the War God Temple's law enforcement power over various forces, but also because the War God Temple possesses the only remaining God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell in the world— Eternal Heaven!

With this God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, he still has a chance!

Upon hearing this, Dong Zi'an narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, since many of the Federal Councilor were from the Shrek Academy, Chen Xinjie's decision was quickly passed.

Dong Zi'an also realized once again the influence Shrek Academy had on the Federation.

"Looks like Shrek Academy deserved to be bombed..."

Dong Zi'an sighed inwardly. He was in the Western Legion and couldn't interfere in the affairs of the Federation District 13, but not all of the councilors in front of him were unaware of the explosion at the Shrek Academy.

After all, these councilors weren't just from the Shrek Academy; some also had the Spirit Pagoda standing behind them...

"Hmph, wait until my apprentice comes in, then I'll mow down all of you filthy scum!"

Dong Zi'an snorted coldly, then slowly said:

"I have another proposal, which is to appoint Jiang Xiu, who is ranked first on the Federation's Genius Ranking, as Federal Councilor."

"Nonsense! What qualifications does Jiang Xiu have? What experience does he have?" Chen Xinjie was instantly enraged upon hearing this.

"I think you're the one abusing your power for personal gain! You've only just taken office and you're already doing this kind of thing, Dong Zi'an, answer me!"

Just then, Pan Wen turned on the Soul Guidance Screen in front of the conference room and coughed twice, saying:

"According to news from Shrek Academy, the millions of residents within Shrek City were not significantly affected by the God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, because they were all rescued by Shadow Lord Jiang Xiu. This achievement is unprecedented in the entire history of the Federation..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie fell silent instantly.

But soon after, he added in a low voice, "It's not time for him to be elected as a member of parliament yet!"

Pan Wen coughed twice and continued playing a video on the Soul Guidance Screen. The video contained the voices of countless Federation citizens calling for Jiang Xiu Jiang Xiu and requesting that he serve as a member of parliament.

Chen Xinjie fell silent again.

It seems he was set up; not only did he lose his position, but even his attempts to reject Dong Zi'an's proposals were thwarted.

"Dong Zi'an, I absolutely disagree with Jiang Xiu entering the Federation!" Chen Xinjie said through gritted teeth.

"Chen Xinjie, this is working time, please state your position!"

Dong Zi'an glanced at Chen Xinjie indifferently, "Besides, you no longer hold any position, so all irrelevant people can leave."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie's face flushed red.

However, the councilors who graduated from the Shrek Academy stood up and said, "We agree with Elder Chen's words and disagree with Jiang Xiu entering the Federation!"

Upon seeing this, a glint of stern light flashed in Dong Zi'an's eyes.

At this moment, Yue Zhengen slowly said, "Shouldn't we give young people a chance?"

"I, the leader, also support this," Shen Yue echoed.

Remembering his promise to Jiang Xiu, Yu Guanzhi said with a gloomy face, "I think so too..."

"Fine, fine, fine!" Upon seeing this, Chen Xinjie was instantly filled with anger, but he also knew that this matter had to be settled today.

He then snorted coldly and said with a gloomy look in his eyes:

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Didn't we agree at the last meeting to unify the Douluo Plane before the Abyss Plane launches a full-scale attack?"

"As long as Jiang Xiu can subdue the Star Luo Empire for the Federation, I would unconditionally agree to become not only a member of parliament, but even the Speaker!"
