Xuan Zi Wants to Poach, Zhongli Wu's Little Scheme

"Xiao... no, are you alright?"

Seeing Gu Tian return to normal, Xuanji Douluo, who was closest, quickly stepped forward, his tone laced with a hint of reverence.

It was clear that Gu Tian's performance just now had greatly frightened him.

The other Titled Douluo belonging to the Star Luo Empire, as well as Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu, and others, also arrived one after another.

"Uncle Ling, Uncle Ye, there's no need to be so formal!"

"As you can probably tell, that wasn't me just now, or rather, it wasn't solely me."

Gu Tian said with some helplessness, "But I am me, there's no doubt about that, so please relax, act as you normally would!"

"Xiao Tian, that Golden Armor, can you summon it again?"

Hearing this, the straightforward Giant Hammer Douluo was the first to recover and asked with a face full of curiosity.

That Golden Armor was too powerful, and it was obvious it belonged to the side of light.

In Giant Hammer Douluo's opinion, even a divine artifact that only existed in legends would probably be no more than this.

If Gu Tian knew what Giant Hammer Douluo was thinking at this moment, he would be speechless. How could any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to compare themselves to the Emperor Armor?

As soon as Giant Hammer Douluo spoke, everyone around pricked up their ears. They were equally curious about this.

"It's called the Ultimate Emperor Armor! Or you could say the Heavenly Dao Emperor!"

After correcting Giant Hammer Douluo's mistake, Gu Tian explained without any concealment, "Only when I am in mortal danger will the Emperor Armor appear."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment clearly appeared on everyone's faces.

But it made sense. Such immense power, if it could be controlled at will.

Then what would be the point of cultivation? They would be invincible throughout the world.

"Heavenly Dao Emperor?"

Xu Jiujiu frowned, "Isn't that the title you have in the future, as seen in the Sky Curtain?"

"Perhaps it is precisely because of the Emperor Armor that I possess this title in the future!" Gu Tian smiled noncommittally.

"Xiao Tian, don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Looking at Gu Tian, Xu Jiawei said with a serious expression.

This was no small matter. If it weren't for that Ultimate Emperor Armor, the future hope of their Star Luo Empire would have been lost here.

At that time, let alone the grand ambition of unifying the continent, their Star Luo Empire would have been in peril itself.

This debt, Xu Jiawei and the Star Luo Empire behind him, will definitely settle with the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult.

Not far away, a disheveled old man gnawing on a chicken leg, with a string of gourds hanging from his waist, took all this in.

This person was Shrek Academy's second strongest, a Rank 98 peak Douluo, the "Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder," Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi.

"Heavenly Dao Emperor, interesting!"

Xuan Zi wiped the oil from his mouth. "It seems Elder Mu's choice was indeed correct. This child is simply a heaven-sent heir to the Sea God Pavilion. We absolutely cannot let outside forces harm him!"

"No, only Shrek Academy is this child's home."

"If it's the future within the Sky Curtain, it might already be too late."

Speaking of which, Xuan Zi took a big gulp of wine, a gleam flashing in his eyes. "But it's not too late now. After all, he's just a six-year-old child who has just awakened his martial soul."

Although Shrek Academy and Xuan Zi had many complaints, they were quite loyal to their own people.

In terms of protecting their own and favoring their own over reason, Shrek Academy was not inferior to the Body Sect in the slightest.

And Gu Tian had undoubtedly been self-righteously recognized by Xuan Zi as Shrek Academy's "own person."

At this moment, Xuan Zi had only one thought: to find a way to kick the Star Luo Empire aside and poach Gu Tian for their Shrek.

In his words, what status did the Star Luo Empire have to dare to let Shrek be led by it.

Speaking of which, the main reason Xuan Zi had stood out and opposed the alliance with the Star Luo Empire at the first moment was this point.

Tonight's Star Luo Imperial City was destined to be restless.

Gu Tian's first summon of the Ultimate Emperor Armor had caused such a huge commotion in the middle of the night that it was hard not to attract attention.

Many Star Luo citizens, still in their dreams, were awakened by that Dragon's Roar.

Immediately after, they looked up and saw an unbelievable scene.

The sun appeared in the middle of the night, and a massive divine dragon was circling above it.

As far as the eye could see, it was like a brilliant Golden River.

"Holy crap! What is that? A soul beast!"

"Am I seeing things? I saw the sun in the middle of the night!"

"That looks like a Golden Divine Dragon."

"What's with the golden pillar of light from the palace?"

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like that Golden Divine Dragon is looking at me?"

"This must be the commotion caused by that person!"

"It seems something has changed in the Imperial Palace?"

Words like these echoed throughout the Star Luo Imperial City.

At a certain spot on the Star Luo Imperial City's walls, four figures appeared, looking extremely disheveled.

The person in front, a black-robed man, Zhongli Wu, gazed at the lingering golden afterglow in the distance.

His expression was grim, and one could even see fear in it.

"Cult Master, what do we do next?" Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng asked, his face pale.

The assassination plan had failed.

They were lucky to have escaped.

Yes, lucky.

All four of them could clearly feel that if the Golden Armor had truly made a move, it would have been a great feat if even one of them had managed to escape.

The gap between them was too vast.

It was no exaggeration to call it the difference between heaven and earth.

It filled them with despair, extinguishing any thought of resistance.

If they weren't in a life-or-death situation, Zhang Peng would have advised the Cult Master to surrender.

"The appearance of that Golden Armor likely had some corresponding limitations."

"Otherwise, our lives would have been left there by now!"

"I don't believe anyone would be kind enough to let go of someone who threatened their life."

Zhongli Wu said with a dark expression, "What we need to do now is wait for the opportunity, pay attention to the information revealed in the next round of the Sky Curtain, find his weakness, and then seize the chance for a fatal blow."

It had already been more than half a month since the first round of the Sky Curtain was revealed.

Only half a month remained until the second round of the Sky Curtain was broadcast.

At that time, they might be able to obtain some beneficial intelligence.

To find the weakness of that set of Golden Armor, in Zhongli Wu's eyes, besides this point, the only way was to use the lives of Titled Douluo to probe.

In non-essential situations, Zhongli Wu did not want to use this method.

After all, the cost of cultivating an Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level was not small.

Perhaps he could try to instigate the Sun Moon Empire to send people.

However, the hope was slim.

The Sun Moon Royal Family were not fools and would not be used as pawns by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire had fewer Titled Douluo than their Holy Spirit Cult.

No, perhaps there was still a chance!

Recalling those who would betray the Sun Moon Empire in the future, Zhongli Wu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Cult Master."

The next moment, the four members of the Holy Spirit Cult disappeared from their original positions once more.

"I will return!"

Before leaving, Zhongli Wu cast a deep glance in the direction of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, leaving this sentence as if taking an oath.
