Developing Influence, Imperial Palace Conference
"Pass down the order to the Printing Department to photocopy this Spirit Power Breathing Method. Every Soul Master belonging to my Sun Moon Empire should receive one copy! Count them by headcount!"
Sun Crown Emperor Moon Condensation Empress and Xu Zhanhuang were clearly very satisfied with this breathing technique. Even though it wasn't the Spirit Hall's most treasured secret and was fairly common in the Douluo Continent, it didn't prevent the Soul Master of the Sun Moon Continent from experiencing a qualitative leap in their future cultivation.
"Senior Golden Crocodile, I have another suggestion."
The Sun Crown Emperor was very pleased, and so he smiled and spoke to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Our friends on the Douluo Continent wish to learn Soul Tool technology, but Patriarch Hongchen is unable to leave Sun Moon Continent. I can send two Level 7 Soul Engineers to accompany you back to the Douluo Continent, thus directly popularizing Soul Tool technology there."
"That would be excellent, Your Majesty. I thank you for your kindness."
"Golden Crocodile Douluo said."
"So, what is your second request?"
The first topic had come to an end, Sun Crown Emperor naturally knew that if there was one, there must be another, so she took the initiative to ask.
"Your Majesty, the second request is that our Spirit Hall wishes to establish a branch on the Sun Moon Continent."
"As Your Majesty knows, our Spirit Hall consists entirely of righteous people who believe in the Angel God, and the extermination of Evil Spirit Master to restore peace to the continent is precisely the divine decree of the Angel God."
"We hope Your Majesty will grant permission that the construction and development of the branch be under Your Majesty's supervision. The Spirit Hall will only send two Titled Douluo elders to be stationed here, and there will be no other intentions."
"In this way, the Spirit Hall can also serve as a bridge connecting the two continents to achieve a long-term strategic win-win situation, benefiting both sides and sharing both joys and sorrows. What does Your Majesty think?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke with a smile, and the other members of the Spirit Hall, including Su He and Qian Renxue, couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
The Second Worship truly lives up to his Second Worship; he's a shrewd old man with unparalleled strength and a knack for bewitching people.
Sun Crown Emperor and Moon Condensation Empress exchanged a glance. Seeing the unreadable light in the latter's eyes, Sun Crown Emperor's heart also grew heavy.
Sure enough, his wife's thoughts were exactly the same as his!
That old codger, his words are more eloquent than his actions! Right now he's all certain he has no other ulterior motives, but once his power is fully established, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire might just be overthrown!
The Sun Crown Emperor was indeed right; the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire did indeed experience a major upheaval in the future, though it was unclear when exactly.
The culprit behind this turn of events was none other than the descendant of Xu Zhanhuang, the head of the Xu Family, who stood beside the Sun Crown Emperor, smiling as he watched the emperor and Empress worry about this proposal.
"Senior Golden Crocodile, would you be so kind as to explain the distribution of power in the Douluo Continent? It would give me a better understanding and make cooperation easier."
"Of course, Your Majesty can rest assured. Our Spirit Hall is arguably the most powerful force on the Douluo Continent, but now, we are also facing some external threats."
"It is precisely because of the strength of my Spirit Hall that other sects on the continent have united, with the Upper Three Sects and the Two Great Empires bearing the brunt. These forces all possess several Titled Douluo, and in addition, my Spirit Hall's fifth, sixth, and seventh elders have all gone into seclusion to break through to level ninety-seven. Recently, the burden on my shoulders has been growing heavier and heavier."
Su He was inwardly laughing so hard he was about to burst, but he kept a straight face; he couldn't ruin his Teacher's important matter.
Unexpectedly, this Golden Crocodile, who usually seems so reliable, is quite adept at arguing. Su He naturally knew what her Teacher was trying to achieve by arguing like this; he wanted Sun Crown Emperor to know that the Spirit Hall's situation wasn't so comfortable, and they didn't have time to invade Sun Moon Continent, a tiny place, so that Sun Crown Emperor could feel at ease.
At this Sun Crown Emperor, seeing that Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression didn't seem fake, Ri Xian believed him halfway. However, out of imperial caution, he ultimately didn't believe him completely.
However, despite this, the Sun Crown Emperor did offer a request.
"I can allow the Spirit Hall to build a branch hall on the Sun Moon Continent, but only one Titled Douluo can be stationed there. What do you think, Senior Golden Crocodile?"
"We are already very satisfied that Your Majesty has made this request. I have already decided on the personnel to be stationed here. In a few days, I will send Demon Bear Elder from our headquarters here. He is a level 95 Titled Douluo."
"I speak sincerely," said Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"That's excellent."
Sun Crown Emperor nodded in satisfaction. Level 95 was nothing to fear when he and Xu Zhanhuang joined forces.
"As for the location of the branch hall, I think it would be better to choose it within the Sun Moon Imperial City. Coincidentally, there is a piece of wasteland in the northern part of the imperial city that has just been demolished. It is spacious and can be used by all of you."
"Why don't you all stay in my imperial city for the time being? I will arrange the best accommodations for you. Once everything is arranged, we can discuss the matter of completely eradicating the Evil Spirit Master."
"That's excellent!"
Seeing that the negotiations were going smoothly, Golden Crocodile Douluo poured himself a full cup of tea, raised it, and drank it all in one gulp. Everyone at the table followed suit and drank their last cup as well.
This first meeting ended in a relatively satisfactory manner!
Afterwards, Su He and the others checked into a grand hotel in the center of Sun Moon City, arranged by Sun Crown Emperor. It has to be said that the technology here is indeed very advanced, already resembling a five-star hotel on Blue Star. Hotels in the Douluo Continent are already hundreds of years behind in terms of technology.
There's even Soul Tool Robot for food delivery. According to Sun Crown Emperor, this is the only Soul Tool Robot in the entire Sun Moon Empire. It's a level Rank 7 Soul Tool, a perfect creation personally crafted by Master Hongchen. This one and only one was purchased by the Sun Moon Empire Grand Hotel for a hefty sum to serve the hotel.
This is also why the hotel's accommodation fees are so high; the hotel's facilities are almost flawless.
While Su He and Qian Renxue were enjoying a passionate night of lovemaking in the hotel's king-size bed, the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire were anything but sitting still.
Inside the Imperial Palace Conference room, all the high-end combat forces and advanced Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire were gathered. Sun Crown Emperor sat in the main seat, helplessly scratching his head, and said.
"Gentlemen, what do you suggest we do?"
"The Spirit Hall... Heh, they want to help us wipe out the Evil Spirit Master. It's like one vicious tiger just left, and now an even younger and stronger Lion has arrived."
"Your Majesty, I have had contact with Su He."
"In my opinion, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who breaks his word."
Patriarch Hongchen said.
"That's where the problem lies."
Xu Zhanhuang, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
