The World Should Belong to the Worthy! The Ghost Emperor's Invitation to Ally!
"..."
Hearing what Elder Qi said, En Ci couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Arms dealers are just arms dealers; why are they talking about advancing the sophistication of warfare?
"Of course, we, the Tang Sect, have never been the instigators of war; we are merely the transporters of war."
Elder Qi seemed to understand En Ci's meaning, so he smiled slightly.
"Have you Tang Sect ever considered the possibility that one day you might bring war upon yourselves?" En Ci said calmly.
Although he knew that the Star Luo Empire needed the Tang Sect's weapons, the Tang Sect, backed by the Federation, was selling weapons to the Star Luo Empire, which was simply unscrupulous in its pursuit of profit.
He really wanted to Elder Qi:
One must have a conscience!
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi's expression froze, because the Fixed-Load Soul Guidance Cannonball that destroyed their Tang Sect Headquarters was indeed manufactured by their Tang Sect...
Would you consider this a different kind of self-production and self-sales?
Elder Qi shook his head slightly, putting aside these chaotic thoughts, and looked intently at Dai Tianling.
"Your Majesty, I believe you are well aware that the Federation is truly serious about this against the Star Luo Empire. Even if the Five Gods Duel can drag on for a year, what will become of the Star Luo Empire after that year?"
"Furthermore, in my observation, the Star Luo Empire lags far behind the Federation in both Soul Master and Soul Guidance Technology, and our Tang Sect can help the Star Luo Empire make up for this deficiency."
"To live or to die, Your Majesty, you must consider this carefully."
After saying that, Elder Qi picked up his teacup and took a sip.
He knew very well that the Tang Sect desperately needed funds to recover, but the Star Luo Empire Star Luo Empire Tang Sect even more anxious, as it was currently facing a crisis of national annihilation.
Of course, if possible, the Tang Sect would not want the Star Luo Empire to perish, because if the Sun Moon Federation were to achieve unification, the Tang Sect's arms industry would lose a huge market.
After all, there is only a market for arms sales when there is war...
As Elder Qi finished speaking, Dai Tianling's expression gradually became serious.
The Star Luo Empire was weak and could not compare with the Federation. In fact, the Tang Sect contributed to the Star Luo Empire's current national strength.
"I will consider this carefully. I will give Elder Qi an answer after the Five Gods Duel."
After a moment's consideration, Dai Tianling glanced at En Ci, En Ci nodded slightly, and then addressed Elder Qi.
"Very well." Elder Qi smiled slightly. "I hope Your Majesty understands that our Tang Sect has always been the Star Luo Empire's best ally."
He knew that since Dai Tianling had said so, it meant the matter was settled.
After all, the Star Luo Empire would definitely win the Five Gods Duel.
If Jiang Xiu wins, then all his talk will have been for naught.
Then, led by his guards Elder Qi left the study.
"Teacher, the Federation is going to attack our Star Luo Empire, Tang Sect is also going to join the fray. It seems like if these two countries go to war, our Star Luo Empire is destined to lose."
After Elder Qi left, Dai Tianling said with some excitement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we truly cannot win."
After thinking for a moment, En Ci agreed.
"..."
Dai Tianling paused slightly, and after a long silence, said sullenly, "I know I can't win, but this feeling of being looked down upon is really uncomfortable. It's true what they say, a weak nation has no diplomacy."
"Your Majesty, please take your time," En Ci advised.
"Teacher, even if our Star Luo Empire manages to escape this year, what will happen next year?" Dai Tianling asked with a sigh.
"Next year..." En Ci fell silent, finally uttering only, "Only God knows..."
Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling chuckled softly and relaxed.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" En Ci asked, slightly puzzled.
"In fact, I have already seen it clearly: because of the invasion from the Abyss Plane, the Federation has no choice but to unify our Star Luo Empire."
Dai Tianling said softly, "The Abyss has been invading the Federation for thousands of years, and it has mostly been the Sun Moon Federation that has resisted. Although our Star Luo Empire has hidden overseas, it has actually stayed away from the war."
At this point, Dai Tianling didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sorrowful.
"Furthermore, judging from the Federation's level of anxiety this time, it's clear that a major upheaval has occurred on the Abyssal Frontline, an upheaval so significant that even such a powerful Federation is panicking."
"Your Majesty..." En Ci began to speak, but was interrupted by Dai Tianling, who continued:
"So, sometimes I wonder, if one day the Abyss Plane really breaks through the Federation's defenses and invades the Douluo Plane, can our Star Luo Empire still escape unscathed?"
"Of course, they couldn't escape it."
En Ci replied slowly, but seeing Dai Tianling's expression, the corners of En Ci's mouth suddenly curled up slightly, and she said meaningfully:
"It seems Your Majesty has already made up your mind."
"Yes, a decision has been made." Dai Tianling sighed, his expression instantly becoming serious.
"If one day, the Abyss invades, and Star Luo Empire perishes..."
"Any hero in the world who can drive away the Abyss, subdue the Douluo Plane plane, and save the people from suffering should naturally take over the land for their own use!"
"The Star Luo Empire may perish, but the world must never perish!"
As Dai Tianling's voice faded, En Ci looked at the emperor he had raised, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his aged, deep eyes.
"If that's the case, then future generations will never criticize Your Majesty," En Ci said with a light laugh.
"Criticism? As long as I follow my heart and act in accordance with my conscience, that's enough. As for what happens after I die... who cares about the deluge..."
"However!" But the next moment, Dai Tianling changed the subject:
"Our Star Luo Empire must win tomorrow's Five Gods Duel!"
"Our Star Luo Empire may perish, but we must never allow one person to take on our entire nation!"
Upon hearing this, En Ci immediately nodded solemnly and said:
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, trust me!"
Now that Zhang Geyang, the only one not an insider of the Star Luo Empire, has already confronted Jiang Xiu head-on, the rest of them only need to give it their all and they will surely be able to defeat Jiang Xiu decisively!
late at night.
Inside the Star Luo Hotel.
Greetings, the Master!
Zhang Geyang looked respectfully at Jiang Xiu in front of him.
"Get up," Jiang Xiu patted Zhang Geyang on the shoulder and said, "You acted well during the day."
"Not at all, I was just the Master your orders, sir," Zhang Geyang said modestly with a smile.
"Tell me about the recent situation in the Star Luo Empire," Jiang Xiu suggested.
"Alright." Zhang Geyang considered for a moment and said, "Half a month ago, the Ghost Emperor brought powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult Sect to the Star Luo Empire, with the goal of assassinating you, my the Master."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly. He naturally knew this; the Ghost Emperor's door-to-door delivery service saved him a lot of trouble.
"Also, as usual, my subordinates have not submitted to Vice Pagoda Master Leng," Zhang Geyang continued.
"It's alright, we'll do this when the time is right," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.
He still remembered the conditions Leng Yaozhu had given him...
He naturally has to get it.
Just as Zhang Geyang was about to continue his report, his personal Communication Soul Tool suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the person on the other end of the call, Zhang Geyang's expression suddenly turned strange. He then answered the call at Jiang Xiu's prompting.
"Hehehe, good evening, Tower Master Zhang."
As soon as the Communication Soul Tool was connected, a sinister, eerie laugh came from the other end.
"Ghost Emperor? What business do you have with this Tower Master?"
Zhang Geyang said in a deep voice.
"I intend to join forces with you, Tower Master, to kill someone."
The Ghost Emperor spoke in a sinister tone.
"Who do you want to kill?" Zhang Geyang frowned.
"Jiang! Stop!"
