Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Qiangu Dongfeng finally sensed that something was amiss upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed slightly as a cold light shimmered within his eyes.

However, Tang Wulin paid no heed to the change in his expression, and continued, "And then you set your plan into motion. You created this setting to fool us into thinking that the Battle God Hall was tightly guarded, thereby indicating that Eternal Heaven is being stored here. You didn't know what method we would employ to obtain Eternal Heaven, but you knew that we would definitely come as Eternal Heaven is far too alluring to us, right?"

Qiangu Dongfeng nodded in response. "That's right, I knew you had the ability to make it here. You were able to disguise yourselves and ruin my joust for a spouse event, so you definitely also had a way to get into the Central Legion; I just didn't think that you would get here so soon. If you had arrived two days later, we would've had even more measures prepared."

Tang Wulin said, "I certainly don't doubt that. You devised this painstaking plan and enlisted the help of the Battle God Hall to ensure that this would be an inescapable trap. At least, on the surface, it looks like your trap has worked, and everything is going according to your plan. However, there's a question that I have for you, Chairman Qiangu."

"Go ahead," Qiangu Dongfeng prompted.

Tang Wulin asked, "If this is a trap, then where is Eternal Heaven actually being stored? Is your Spirit Pagoda aware of this information?"

Qiangu Dongfeng smiled, and replied, "I considered that as well. Eternal Heaven is the federation's final trump card, and its location is information of the highest level of confidentiality, so even we don't know where it is. As such, even if our plan had been leaked, you still wouldn't have any chance of getting your hands on Eternal Heaven."

Qiangu Dongfeng was very confident as he spoke, and this was the key to why he had always felt this plan to be infallible.

He had already warned that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect would definitely come after Eternal Heaven, and he had requested the higher-ups of the federal military to keep a close eye on the godslayer missile. He then used the existence of Eternal Heaven to plot against Tang Wulin and his friends.

Tang Wulin continued, "You may not know its location, but someone has to know, right?"

Qiangu Dongfeng faltered slightly upon hearing this.

Of course someone knew of its location. Otherwise, how was the federation supposed to use the missile when required? Only the highest-ranking members of the federal military knew of Eternal Heaven's true storage location, and it was extremely tightly guarded, so what was Tang Wulin trying to say here?

Tang Wulin continued, "Someone has to know, and they have to be the highest-ranking officials of the military, people absolutely loyal to the federation. Hence, that narrows down the list significantly, but I'm sure one particular person is on that list."

A hint of unease finally began to well up within Qiangu Dongfeng's heart. "Who are you referring to?"

Tang Wulin smiled, and replied, "I'm naturally referring to the person that you used and convinced to cooperate with your plan!"

Qiangu Dongfeng faltered slightly upon hearing this, clearly failing to understand, but Qiangu Dieting immediately made a realization, and his expression darkened as he asked, "You're talking about Chen Xinjie, right?"

Tang Wulin replied, "Of course. The Boundless Ocean Douluo is arguably the most powerful official in the military, the hall master of the Battle God Hall, the commander-in-chief of the Sea God Legion; no one has more right than he does to know the location of Eternal Heaven, isn't that right? You managed to convince him, so there's naturally no way that he would've leaked the information to us. In fact, even his meeting with Elder Long took place under your surveillance, right? I'm sure I haven't made any errors in judgment here."

Qiangu Dieting asked in a cold voice, "Are you telling me that a Limit Douluo who values honor over his own life would go back on his word and commit treason to leak the location of the Eternal Heaven to you?"

Tang Wulin sighed, "Theoretically, it would be impossible. The Boundless Ocean Douluo dedicated his entire life to the federation military and even gave up on the love of his life. He's become one of the most powerful beings in this world and the hall master of the Battle God Hall, and behind that is a story of perseverance and glory. To him, honor really is more important than his life, and he would never go back on his promise to you, so he deceived Elder Long. However, you failed to take into account that love can also be more important than one's life, and it can even exceed the value of honor; it's something that some people are willing to pursue at all costs.

"Ultimately, your failure stems from your underestimation of Elder Long's importance to the Boundless Ocean Douluo, and you underestimated the impact of their meeting."

Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the Heartless Douluo and the Amorous Douluo should've already obtained Eternal Heaven. I know that you've disabled all communication devices here; why don't you give the Spirit Pagoda headquarters a call to see if it's been visited by some guests?"

All of the members of the Spirit Pagoda camp were stunned to hear this, and even the people in the Shrek Academy camp were completely dumbfounded.

What was going on? A'Ruheng turned to Tang Wulin with a flabbergasted expression, while Tang Wulin continued to appraise the Spirit Pagoda camp with a faint smile.

Qiangu Dongfeng turned to Qiangu Dieting, and the latter only hesitated momentarily before instructing, "Make the call."

Qiangu Dongfeng pulled out his soul communicator, which had a special signal, and immediately dialed the number of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

The call was almost immediately connected, and a familiar voice rang out from the other end.

"Long time no talk, Brother Qiangu; I hope you've been well."

The voice belonged to none other than Amorous Douluo Zang Xin; he was currently in the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!

"Zang Xin!" Qiangu Dongfeng's voice immediately cooled to a freezing point.

Zang Xin said, "It's been so long since we last met, so Old Man Cao and I decided to pay you a visit, but you were absent. We came here with a present for you. Well, actually, it's a present for the Spirit Pagoda; I hope you'll be pleased with it. Come over here, boy; tell your father what present we brought with us."

An urgent voice immediately rang out. "Come back, Father! They, they somehow managed to get their hands on Eternal Heaven, and it's definitely the real Eternal Heaven! Come back and save me!"

A hint of desperation had crept into Qiangu Zhangting's voice at the end.

No one was completely fearless in the face of death, and the more powerful one was, the more they cherished their own life as their lifespan was far longer than that of the average person.

In the face of Eternal Heaven, not only was he going to die, the entire Spirit Pagoda headquarters would cease to exist, just like Shrek City. In fact, given the power of Eternal Heaven, the Spirit Pagoda headquarters would suffer an even more terrible fate.
