Within the Clear Sky Sect, Clear Sky Fortress.
"Brother, do you think something happened above? Why has there been no movement for so many years? What is his plan? I haven't seen him care about Dong'er for so many years? Are you really turning a blind eye?"
A loud and deep voice sounded from inside the castle.
Two tall figures stood in front of the window in the castle, looking up at the sky.
The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with an extremely strong build. He had short hair as fine as a steel needle. He had a dignified appearance and a resolute face like a chisel. However, his eyes were brown, with a faint golden light shining through them. His gray robe could not completely hide his strong tattooed muscles.
The other one is also a middle-aged man. The man has long blue hair, hanging on his broad shoulders. His eyes are also blue. When opening and closing, his seemingly simple eyes have an indescribable special quality. It seems that there is a faint feeling that he can't suppress the powerful aura in his body.
His burly body was covered in a Bai Se outfit, and he was listening to the chattering of the majestic man next to him.
The middle-aged man in white is Niu Tian, the first sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and the nagging strong man in gray is the second sect leader Tai Tan.
Niu Tian sighed and said, "It's not something you and I can speculate on his thoughts. He should have his own intentions for doing this. Xiaodong has graduated from the Shrek Academy, and has also joined a sect called Freedom Gate. The things he left behind have never been put to use."
Niu Tian took out a skill bag from the storage ring and said helplessly, "The test in this bag was left by him, but Xiaodong never brought anyone back. Who is this test for?"
Tai Tan said doubtfully, "Brother, you said he left a test, but you didn't say who he would test. We won't just wait here, right?"
Niu Tian sighed softly and said, "Forget it, this is not something we should care about, as long as Xiaodong is fine. The next step will be left to Heaven's Will."
"Heaven's Will?" Tai Tan looked through the window at the sky outside, with confusion in his eyes.
Time passes slowly, and it has been half a month since Ji Lin and others returned to Star Luo City. During this half month, news from various aspects came, Sun Moon Empire and Due to the quarrel between the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire, some of the sects that originally belonged to Three Douluo Kingdoms who went to compete in the Sun Moon Empire failed to return to the sect, but were trapped in the Sun Moon Empire.
The three empires have been arguing about this. Sun Moon Empire condemned the two empires for causing a big explosion in Mingdu, which caused Mingdu millions of innocent civilian casualties and made countless people homeless. Of course, the two empires Star Luo Empire and Heaven Soul Empire refused to admit it. After all, they really did not do it.
The three original Douluo empires condemned Sun Moon Empire for secretly detaining the sect team that went to participate in the competition. They were heartbroken, and both sides were diplomatically stupid.
After all, there were only a few sects that were able to escape from Mingdu. Most of the small and medium-sized sects were detained by the Sun Moon Empire. Sun Moon Empire also clearly and arrogantly stated that all the people from the participating colleges and sects were in their hands, and they are all still alive.
This gave the original Three Douluo Kingdoms a huge headache. Many elite disciples of the Sun Moon Empire were in the hands of the Sun Moon Empire, asking them to throw in the towel. They knew Sun Moon Empire would launch a war, but they did not dare to take the initiative. First, they lacked strength, and second, they were opposed by the colleges who had detained their disciples.
Who can represent major colleges and sects in the continent-wide youth advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, who is not the leader of the younger generation? Almost all of them are the future pillars of these colleges and sects. Coupled with the teacher leading the team, or the sect led by the sect leader himself, this means that the major sects and colleges will not dare to use force against the Sun Moon Empire easily, at least not until their own people are rescued.
If these academies and sects risked going to the rescue, they would also fall into the Sun Moon Empire's trap and be defeated by the Sun Moon Empire one by one. If Three Douluo Kingdoms wanted to take action against the Sun Moon Empire, he had to consider the opinions of these sects and academies with high-end combat power.
Sun Moon Empire can take this opportunity to recuperate and recover the vitality lost due to Mingdu Explosion. It can be said that it is a plan to kill three birds with one stone. First, it can make the Three Kingdoms surrender, secondly, it can attack the high-end combat power of the Three Kingdoms, and thirdly, it can take the opportunity to restore its vitality.
In the past half month, Jing Hongchen secretly sent some high-level Soul Engineer to Star Luo City. These high-level Soul Engineer are Jing Hongchen's confidants. Their family members are all under Jing Hongchen's control. With the constraints of Book of Contracts, it can be said to be foolproof.
With the participation of these high-level Soul Engineer, the progress of Ji Lin is gratifying, and it is expected that results will be produced soon.
However, Jing Hongchen doesn't dare to move too much. During this period of time, Sun Moon Empire has been the center of the storm. The limit he can secretly send a batch of Soul Engineer is.
The last piece of the puzzle is about to be completed, and Ji Lin is also preparing for a showdown with Xu Jiawei.
Among the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Xu Jiawei, Ji Lin, and Xu Jiujiu were sitting on the sofa. Xu Jiawei had already transferred all the guards and maids away, because Ji Lin said that there was something very important to discuss that only the three of them could know.
Xu Jiawei Although he is the king of a country, he does not have the feeling of being in a high position and living alone like the emperors in Ji Lin's previous lives. He still has people he can completely trust, such as Xu Jiujiu, and Ji Lin is also someone he trusts. Firstly, he has watched Ji Lin since he was a child. Secondly, he is also a Titled Douluo himself. He is a bold artist.
Xu Jiujiu is sitting next to Ji Lin, looking a little confused. She has already guessed what Ji Lin is going to say. What she is worried about now is that Imperial Brother will disagree. If the two have different ideas, she will be very embarrassed if she is stuck in the middle.
Xu Jiawei was smiling. Maybe he had guessed something, but he had been waiting for Ji Lin to come to him.
After all, Ji Lin's performance is quite obvious, and he also has some understanding of Chi Yuan's strength. From Ji Lin to Freedom Gate, to The promotion of the establishment of Liyue Chamber of Commerce, as well as the recent secret arrival of the Sun Moon Empire's advanced Soul Engineer, all indicate that Ji Lin has its own ideas.
And he has been waiting for Ji Lin to have a showdown with him.
Ji Lin held Xu Jiujiu's jade hand, comforted Her Highness the Princess, and reassured her. Then he looked at Xu Jiawei and said solemnly, "Imperial Brother, I think you can see it, I have my own ideas, and I want to unify Douluo Continent."
Xu Jiawei was startled, then smiled and said, "You kid, want to be the emperor?"
"Anyway, we Xu Family don't have any boys. When you and Jiujiu get married, I can't give up the Star Luo Empire throne to you directly. With your talent, you will even be the strongest emperor in the history of the Star Luo Empire."
Ji Lin looked calm and said again, "Imperial Brother, I want to unify Douluo Continent."
Ji Lin is very clear about the situation of the Xu Family. This generation of the Xu Family is very thin. There is not even a male who can inherit Star Crown Martial Soul. The only direct bloodline is Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu, Xu Yun, and several seniors from the older generation. Once Xu Jiawei abdicates, they won't even be able to find an heir. They can't let a woman ascend the throne and become the empress! Although there was a Spirit Hall Empire who set a precedent thousands of years ago, their Star Luo Empire had no precedent of a female emperor ascending the throne. Let Xu Jiujiu or If Xu Yun ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, the opposition within the empire will definitely be extremely strong. However, Xu Family's control over Star Luo Empire is not that strong, and it cannot be said to be a single statement at all.
With the Star Crown Sect's current strength, it is very likely that they will not be able to retain the throne after Xu Jiawei, just like the original White Tiger Duke lineage.
So Xu Jiawei has thought about passing the throne to Ji Lin, and then passing it on to the children of Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu. Of course, they would have to give birth to a boy.
This is better than returning the throne to the White Tiger Duke bloodline. At least the one on the throne still has their Xu Family bloodline.
And strictly speaking, Ji Lin also has the bloodline of the Xu Family, but it is far away from Xu Jiawei's direct lineage.
But he didn't expect that Ji Lin's ambition would be so great, that he would not be satisfied with just one Star Luo Empire.
Xu Jiawei smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I once thought about unifying Douluo Continent, but unfortunately I was defeated by reality. Now I just want to keep Star Luo Empire and Star Crown Sect. I don't want to become a subjugated king and embarrass my ancestors."
"To be honest, apart from me, most of the emperors who come to the Heaven Dou Empire and Dou Ling Empire also have the idea of unifying Douluo Continent. An emperor without ambition is not a qualified emperor, but the fact is that no matter which of our empires, there is no strength to unify Douluo Continent."
"Jiu Mei, let me ask you, are we Star Crown Sect strong?"
Xu Jiujiu said without hesitation, "Of course we are very powerful. We were able to lead the army and civilians of the empire to expel the invading Sun Moon Empire, and finally forced the White Tiger Duke lineage to surrender. Because of our family's strength, there are very few big families with a long history like ours Xu Family on the mainland. Even when Spirit Hall was raging, they couldn't do anything to us."
Xu Jiawei nodded and said, "You are right, we Xu Family are very strong, but such a powerful Xu Family still cannot defeat other empires and unify Douluo Continent, in our generation, the population is so thin that Star Crown Martial Soul is owned by no more than five people. What really prevents us from unifying Douluo Continent is not other empires, but those hidden sects and families."
Ji Lin knows what Xu Jiawei means, and is trying to persuade him not to aim too high. There are too many difficulties in unifying Douluo Continent. In addition to other empires, there are also hidden sects and families, and even Divine Realm in the sky may intervene.
Xu Jiawei's worries are not unreasonable. You must know that even Spirit Hall, who was ten thousand years ago, intended to unify Douluo Continent, but in the end he fell short and was defeated by Sea God Tang San, his ambition dashed.
You must know that Spirit Hall had two gods at that time, and they were not ordinary gods, but they were still defeated in the end.
