Qiangu
Zi JI is one of the team leaders.
As the news spread, various factions began to speculate.
The campaign to Holy-Cleansing Spirit-Exorcising, targeting the universally condemned Holy Spirit Cult, is bound to leave a deep impression on the public.
And precisely because this event is targeting the Holy Spirit Cult, there is only victory, no defeat.
The people's prestige!
It's an extremely desirable commodity, so much so that calling it "gilded" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Now it's fallen on the head of a Ferocious Beast?
This news prompted many to begin pondering the Federation's intentions.
The participation of Ferocious Beast in politics is an exception, but since the Federal Parliament decides by vote, a mere Bi Ji wouldn't have much of an impact.
But this time it's different; this time the prestige is genuine! You see, the people who were most opposed to Soul Beast participating in politics were originally the common people.
It seems the Federation truly wants humans and Soul Beast to coexist...
Outsiders were abuzz with speculation, wondering if the Federation intended to reconcile with the Soul Beast.
At the Hexagon Building, Zhao Mingyu pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand, looking very tired.
He leaned back in his high-backed chair, rubbing his throbbing temples. Sitting in this position, every day he woke up to a mess of problems involving various factions.
The Federation nominally rules the continent, but in reality, aren't its subordinate institutions like Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda too powerful to be controlled?
If the Federation is the emperor sitting on the throne, then Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda are the powerful vassal kings who control vast armies and have their own autonomous territories.
Everything was peaceful until Shrek suddenly had an extra trump card. How could anyone sit still like that?
It was Zhao Mingyu who provided support in making Zi JI of the Star Dou Great Forest one of the leaders of the Holy-Cleansing Spirit-Exorcising.
There was no other reason than for the Beast God Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since the Soul Beast have embarked on the path of politics, it means they have decided to abide by the rules!
The Federation will assist Soul Beast in participating in politics.
As long as the Ferocious Beast are brought in, if the Soul Beast dare to rebel, all of humanity on the continent will naturally turn their guns against them; the Federation will not suffer serious damage as a result.
But if the Soul Beast doesn't rebel, this ferocious fighting force will be the Federation's bargaining chip to keep the various parties in check.
Who told Shrek to just produce an inexplicable Ice-Fire Douluo?
They forced this upon them...
Zhao Mingyu's move was quite obvious, clear to everyone. Yun Ming was helpless about it, while Qiangu Dongfeng didn't seem to care much.
The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
Qiangu Dongfeng sat on the large leather sofa, completely ignoring the Federation's efforts to win over Soul Beast.
Zhao Mingyu wants to try balancing acts; let him try.
Qiangu Dongfeng is in a pretty good mood right now.
Steady footsteps sounded outside the door. The door opened, and a tall, handsome young man walked in.
The young man was in his early twenties, eight feet tall, with striking features and an air of arrogance befitting a direct descendant of a prominent Family.
The man's name was Qiangu Zhangting.
"Grandpa, why did you call me back to Mingdu in such a hurry? What urgent matter is it?"
Qiangu Zhangting sat down opposite him on the sofa and asked.
Qiangu Dongfeng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said in a flat tone, "The Federation just passed a resolution to establish a regular special operation called ' Holy-Cleansing Spirit-Exorcising.' You will participate as well."
Qiangu Zhangting frowned. "I'll go?"
He was somewhat displeased. "Grandpa, those Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult are hiding in the gutter, roaming all over the continent. It's time-consuming and laborious to track them down. Rather than wasting time on these Haozi, I'd rather go and gain more experience. Why waste time on this?"
"Foolish." Qiangu Dongfeng slammed the teacup down on the table with a dull thud.
Upon seeing this, Qiangu Zhangting stopped talking.
"Refine your Soul Power? Is Soul Power what you lack right now?"
Qiangu Dongfeng raised his eyelids and sized up his son. "The future position of the Spirit Pagoda will be yours sooner or later. But if you want to smoothly take the position of Pagoda Master, is my influence enough?"
The Qiangu Zhangting remained silent.
"Look at those old foxes down there, and then look at those branch Pagoda Master."
Qiangu Dongfeng snorted coldly, "They may respect you verbally, but in their hearts they'll only think you're a spoiled brat who hasn't even grown up yet."
You're too young, too inexperienced, and have no notable achievements! You lack any prestige to back you up. Will you be able to hold onto this position securely when you take over?
Qiangu Zhangting scratched the back of his head, somewhat hesitant.
A cold, Qiangu Dongfeng whispers, "The Spirit Pagoda must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"
Looking at Qiangu Dongfeng's serious face, Qiangu Zhangting nodded, though somewhat reluctant.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll go."
"That's right. Go back and prepare; report to Federation Command tomorrow."
The Qiangu Dongfeng waved its hand.
Qiangu Zhangting rose, bowed, and turned to leave the secret chamber.
The door closed again.
Qiangu Dongfeng leaned back on the sofa, a smile finally appearing on his face.
Holy Spirit Cult?
Those Evil Soul Master were already Qiangu Dongfeng of his plan!
Ha Luosa's unauthorized attack on the Shrek Academy's Inner Court has thrown the entire situation into chaos, causing heightened tensions and disrupting the plan.
The Holy Spirit Cult's secret communication channels have already sent messages.
In order to quell Qiangu Dongfeng's anger and to preserve the secret cooperation between the two sides, the Ghost Emperor, who was in charge of the alliance, had agreed to compensate him.
The so-called "Holy-Cleansing Spirit-Exorcising" is just a gilding ceremony for others, but for Qiangu Zhangting, it is a grand drama with a pre-written script!
A grand drama of heroes!
Qiangu Dongfeng only asked for a few scattered Holy Spirit Cult strongholds and some low-level Evil Soul Master, but he brought the Holy Spirit Cult far more than that. The Holy Spirit Cult would not refuse.
All of these will be discovered and defeated by Qiangu Zhangting under his arrangement.
When the battle report is released, his grandson will become the youngest and bravest demon-slaying hero in the entire Federation!
A young leader who quells Evil Soul Master, and a future prodigy of the Spirit Pagoda!
With such immense prestige built up, Zhang Ting was then assigned to manage some affairs at the Spirit Pagoda, allowing him to accumulate seniority.
In this way, with the "own people" that the Qian Gu family has left in the Spirit Transmission Tower over the years, it became the popular choice for Qian Gu Zhangting to take over as the next tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, and no one could find any fault with it.
"Heroes are made by their times?"
Qiangu Dongfeng let out a low laugh, "I am the inevitable trend of this world!"
Qiangu Zhangting walked out of the room, feeling a sudden tightness in his chest, but there was nothing he could do.
As Grandpa said, the Spirit Pagoda must not fall into the hands of outsiders.
However, the Holy Spirit Cult was no ordinary force. He was the youngest Soul Saint of his generation, yet he was still only Soul Saint!
This operation was purely a gilding tactic, which Qiangu Zhangting found somewhat distasteful.
Amidst this inner turmoil, Qiangu Zhangting stepped downwards.
As they rounded a corner, Qiangu Zhangting stopped in his tracks.
A girl walked towards me.
Silver hair and silver eyes.
