The federal government could no longer remain calm and convened an emergency meeting.
Chapter 302 and more! (Please subscribe!!! 5 more chapters added)
"I know we might be overreacting, but at this crucial juncture, the appearance of Yun Ming, the strongest person on the continent, on the Star Luo Continent is making our Federation's next steps very difficult!"
One of the speakers stood up and calmly recounted Yun Ming's actions.
"As a federal citizen, does Yun Ming not have any freedom?" a congressman retorted.
This congressman is a dove.
The councilor who initially condemned Yunming's actions was a hawk.
"The Federation's decision is the Federation's decision. Does Yun Ming intend to interfere with the Federation's operations by force?" A hawkish congressman stood up and angrily rebuked.
He wasn't targeting Yun Ming.
Instead, the Federation had already decided on its war strategy long ago.
The continents of Tiandou and Xingluo are rich in resources but not yet fully developed, possessing ample untapped potential that the Federation urgently needs.
In recent years, the hawks have gradually gained the upper hand, and their plan to launch a war of unification against the two continents has begun to take shape. At this time, Yun Ming appeared on the Star Luo Continent, which the hawks naturally could not accept.
What's the point of cloud meditation?
What is Shrek up to?
Are they going to support Star Luo Continent and Heaven Dou Continent, hoping to make the Federation back down?
Currently, the social atmosphere within the Federation is peaceful, but only the high-ranking decision-makers in Congress know that war is imminent and in the not-too-distant future.
At such a sensitive juncture, it seems that Shrek Academy, representing the pinnacle of power on the continent, is showing signs of colluding with Star Luo.
Even some of the more dovish lawmakers dared not offer excessive protection at this moment.
They were also puzzled as to why Yun Ming would appear on the Star Luo Continent at such a sensitive time.
It's one thing for him to appear; after all, he is the strongest person on the continent, and even the strongest person on Douluo Star. He has his own freedom, and no one can control him.
However, after his whereabouts were exposed and he exchanged words with Enci, the strongest person in Xingluo, he then traveled around the Xingluo Continent for three months without showing any sign of returning.
What does it mean?
The dovish lawmakers are in a real bind.
Yun Ming was clearly doing it on purpose, even as if he was afraid the Federation wouldn't know. He was acting very flamboyantly, completely unlike his low-key demeanor of the previous decades.
Clearly, Yun Ming had some information he wanted the Federation to know.
This information is bound to cause great dissatisfaction in the Federal Parliament.
"Hmph, Shrek has been living a carefree life for too long, and now they really think they're not part of the Federation anymore. I think it's time for Shrek to make some changes!" a councilor angrily rebuked.
All eyes were focused on this person.
Some people were greatly surprised.
Brother, you're really brave.
The legislator realized he had gotten carried away and inadvertently spoken his true feelings, so he fell silent.
He could sense that among the many gazes, there were those of shock, those of admiration, and a few very sharp ones. These gazes naturally came from the councilors who came from Shrek.
“Elder Long, Shrek Academy and the Federation have always been complementary and interdependent. The Federation has always respected Shrek Academy, and I also hope that Shrek Academy can safeguard the interests of the Federation,” the speaker said at the beginning.
He was a neutral party, but his words also seemed to lean towards the view that Yun Ming's actions had gone too far.
The man addressed as Elder Long was an old man with gray hair, but his soul power fluctuations were as deep as an abyss.
He is a capable person.
To be precise, he didn't belong to any faction; he was the representative of Shrek.
"Oh?" Elder Long raised his eyelids and looked at the speaker.
"Zhang Zhongli, are you implying that Shrek Academy has betrayed the Federation?"
“I wouldn’t dare,” Speaker Zhang Zhongli quickly said. “I just wanted to say that there’s no need for the Federation and Shrek to beat around the bush. If Shrek has any complaints, they can speak directly, instead of in this way.”
Zhang Zhongli took a deep breath and continued, "I don't think the Federation has done anything to wrong Shrek Academy. I really don't understand what Shrek Academy is dissatisfied with regarding the Federation. I hope Elder Long can enlighten me."
Elder Long narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It was just some of my academy's freshmen going there for an exchange program. The sect leader's disciple was among them, and he went along."
However, none of the councilors present believed Elder Long's reply.
Perhaps that's part of it, but it's definitely not the whole story.
Otherwise, Yun Ming wouldn't have made such a big show of revealing his whereabouts.
However, even if they didn't believe it, no member of parliament came out to question it at this moment.
Arguing is pointless.
The Federation must find out exactly what Yun Ming did on the Star Luo Continent, but it has no way to force Elder Long to talk.
The meeting was held hastily and without any substantial progress.
Ultimately, the meeting ended, with only a few federal speakers remaining.
There are hundreds of federal members of parliament, but only fifteen speakers.
All fifteen speakers are federal agents, not affiliated with Shrek Spirit Tower or any external force such as the Tang Sect.
Of course, only five of the fifteen speakers were present in person; the other ten participated in the discussion via video call.
“Shrek’s behavior this time is somewhat abnormal. I don’t think Yunming’s behavior this time is related to the war.”
“However, his actions are putting pressure on the Federation!” Zhang Zhongli said in a deep voice.
He was a neutral party and also the one who valued federal interests the most.
I don't know what the Federation did to offend Shrek that made him so angry.
Without explanation, this silent standoff continued, a silent threat weighing on everyone's hearts.
Even federal congressional speakers would not want to endure this kind of passive-aggressive behavior.
"Alright, let's leave it at that."
A voice came from the projection.
Everyone was silent.
Zhang Zhongli looked at the person who had spoken.
Chen Xinjie!
“We need a reason,” Zhang Zhongli said in a deep voice.
Chen Xinjie's projection screen showed Zhang Zhongli, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue.
Despite being separated by an unknown distance, and being merely a projection, it exuded an immense sense of oppression.
"Wait," Chen Xinjie uttered only one word.
However, Zhang Zhongli dared not question such an absurd answer any further.
This answer will be the only outcome of the federal government's handling of this incident.
and so on.
Wait for Shrek to give their reasons.
Wait for Shrek to make his demands.
Before this, the Federal Parliament made all the necessary preparations.
It could be a self-examination, an apology, or a compromise and concession.
This outcome weighed heavily on the minds of the speakers, who had nowhere to vent their frustrations.
Because it was Chen Xinjie who came to this conclusion.
Yun Ming is the strongest person on Douluo Star, while Chen Xinjie is the strongest person in the Federation, the strongest person under the Federation, and the second strongest person on the entire Douluo Star after Yun Ming.
Shrek was acting so irrationally, without explanation or any pretext, and yet the Federal Council was inexplicably reprimanded, and the Council could only accept it.
Zhang Zhongli stared at Chen Xinjie's projection, each breath heavy.
Chen Xinjie also backed down.
What exactly is it?
The interests that Shrek's team was affected by this time were definitely extraordinary; otherwise, Chen Xinjie would never have backed down.
In the end what happened?

Chen Xinjie also backed down?
Not only Zhang Zhongli, but the other speakers also showed surprise.
