Actually, the main purpose of Leng Yaozhu and Zhang Huanyun coming to Mingdu for this special meeting was to inquire about how the Sun Moon Federation should handle the Tang Sect disciples within the Blood God Legion.
The explosion in Mingdu had almost ruined the reputation of the Tang Sect disciples, making them almost as infamous as the Spirit Hall.
Frequent conflicts with other soldiers in the Blood God Legion had severely affected the unity of the Legion, which was why Leng Yaozhu and Zhang Huanyun attended the meeting, hoping to expel the Tang Sect from the Blood God Legion.
Of course, expelling them from the Blood God Legion wasn't just about letting them leave. Many of them would need to be handed over to the Federation for investigation and processing.
Unexpectedly, Cao Dezhi had secretly taken the Tang Sect disciples and left the Blood God Legion while Leng Yaozhu was absent.
In fact, Cao Dezhi had wanted to leave the Blood God Legion and return to the Tang Sect as early as a year ago when Zang Xin went missing.
At that time, the Tang Sect had just been classified by the Federation as a traitorous organization, and it was most needed for him and Zang Xin to take charge of the situation.
With Zang Xin missing, only he remained.
However, Leng Yaozhu had always been in the Blood God Legion, which made him hesitant to act rashly.
Regardless of who it was, once they joined the military, their first identity was a soldier. Leaving the camp without permission was desertion.
Since ancient times, deserters were to be executed without mercy, and even more so for deserters from the Blood God Legion.
If they were caught, even if Leng Yaozhu killed them, no one would say anything.
So, Cao Dezhi had waited until today.
"It seems Tang Sect is determined not to cooperate."
In the entire conference hall, everyone's eyes were filled with anger.
The Sun Moon Federation had made such a concession, which could be said to be the utmost in kindness, yet Tang Sect was still so "ungrateful."
"Everyone, what do you think we should do now? Feel free to speak your minds. If anyone has a solution, we can discuss it together," the president of the Sun Moon Federation said with a grave expression.
The Sun Moon Federation had made such a huge concession because they had no other choice.
If Tang Sect didn't agree, they really wouldn't have any other options.
The entire conference hall fell silent again. When no one spoke, the representative of the Sun Moon Federation's royal family, Lingmou Douluo Xu Cangyu, helplessly stood up and slowly spoke, "I recommend someone. Perhaps she is the only one who can help the Federation through the current crisis."
"Who?" Everyone's gaze turned to Xu Cangyu.
"Captain Xia Hong of the Royal Academy District Police Station," Xu Cangyu said slowly. "To be honest, I don't want her involved, and maybe she herself doesn't want to be involved either. But right now, she's probably the only one who can help the Federation through this crisis."
"It's her!" Yun Ming narrowed his eyes. Xia Hong was the first one he couldn't defeat.
"Heavenly Judgment Douluo, what do you think of the person I'm recommending?" Xu Cangyu suddenly looked up at Heavenly Judgment Douluo Lang Tian. He had always known that Lang Tian had secretly suppressed Xia Hong and didn't allow her to be promoted, but Xia Hong didn't care, so he hadn't pursued it.
"If she really has a solution, I have no objections," Lang Tian said, gritting his teeth.
He knew that once Xia Hong was pushed into the limelight, many of the things he had done would no longer be hidden.
At that point, his image as an unbiased leader might be ruined.
"Since that's the case, let's invite Xia Hong here," the president of the Sun Moon Federation said with a gleam of hope in her eyes. Although she didn't know Xia Hong, Xu Cangyu's reputation was solid, and since he had spoken, there must be some confidence. Now, they could only pin their hopes on her.
"I'll go bring her here," Xu Cangyu nodded.
"President, there's a police officer outside asking to see you, saying they're here for the meeting," just before Xu Cangyu could stand, a guard suddenly rushed in.
"She's here!" Xu Cangyu shook his head helplessly.
The timing was so precise that he couldn't think of anyone other than Xia Hong.
"Bring her in!" the president ordered.
Soon, Xia Hong was brought into the conference hall.
She was still wearing the police uniform, with a police motorcycle helmet on her head. At this moment, her clothes were covered in dust, and she looked tired, as though she had truly raced here on her motorcycle, just in time.
"So much dust! Mingdu really isn't a place for people to stay right now. If this isn't resolved soon, I might have to run away," as soon as Xia Hong entered the conference hall, she took off her helmet, patting the dust off her clothes while muttering softly.
The people present couldn't help but twitch their eyelids. The dust in Mingdu was indeed overwhelming, but with a soul master's power, it should be easy to shield oneself from it.
Everyone could feel that the soul power fluctuation inside Xia Hong's body had already reached the Soul Saint level.
While this cultivation level was nothing special compared to those present, it should have been enough to shield herself from the dust.
Years had passed, and Xia Hong hadn't changed at all. She still had the same youthful, baby-faced look that Xia Yi had seen years ago, making the high-ranking figures in the conference hall once again feel uncomfortable.
Such a young girl—could she really solve such a big problem?
"Don't look at me. To be honest, if this issue weren't somewhat related to me, I wouldn't care at all," Xia Hong said, rolling her eyes. "I thought that after I led a police team to seal off the Tang Sect's underground weapons factory in the Royal Academy District and submitted a detailed action report, the Federation's military and police forces would follow suit and seal off Tang Sect's other underground weapons factories. I didn't expect you all to cause such a big mess."
At this, Lang Tian and Yu Guanzhi immediately felt a burning pain in their faces.
The two high-ranking military and police figures, leading so many experts, had actually been outdone by a little girl leading a police team.
"Hmph, stop with the lip service. If you're so capable, tell us what we should do now?" Chen Xinjie said coldly. He had no goodwill toward Xia Hong. If it weren't for her, his Long Yeyue would not have been confined to the Blood God Legion.
"Solution? None!" Xia Hong shook her head lightly and said indifferently, "But I know someone who definitely has a solution."
"Who?" Chen Xinjie asked coldly.
"I recommend Xia Yi. Let him handle this. He is the one everyone trusts," Xia Hong said with a smile.
"Xia Yi!" Leng Yaozhu spoke up, "He is in closed-door training right now, and I don't know how to contact him."
"No problem. He came out of seclusion three days ago, but he's not on Douluo Continent," Xia Hong grinned. "We'll need to use a long-distance soul guide communication to contact him."
"How do you know this?" Leng Yaozhu asked in surprise.
"Well, I just know," Xia Hong shrugged. "He's been slacking off for so long, it's time for him to get serious and do something."
"Are you sure he can really solve the current crisis?" Leng Yaozhu asked in a deep voice.
Xia Hong giggled, patting her chest and confidently saying, "As long as he wants to, there's nothing impossible for him in the Douluo Realm. If you ever have anything you can't handle, you can always find him."
Xia Hong glanced at Leng Yaozhu with a smile at the corner of her mouth, then muttered to herself in her heart: "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, hehe, relying on him to cultivate like that, I don't know when he'll reach the highest level of cultivation. As a supreme human Dao technique, if aided by pure human faith, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds."
"How can we trust you, or trust Xia Yi? If Tang Sect breaks everything again, who will take responsibility?" Chen Xinjie asked, not knowing what Xia Hong was thinking but genuinely feeling annoyed at her demeanor.
"I've recommended the person to you. Whether you believe it or not is your business. If you have a better candidate to handle this, you can let him come. Just pretend I didn't say anything," Xia Hong shook her head and turned to leave the Sun Moon Federation conference hall.
