Why Was the Tang Sect Headquarters in Star Luo City So Lavish?
On the road to Star Luo Star Luo City Star Luo Continent.
This isn't the Federation, so their vehicles are moving much slower.
As for where the car came from, it was naturally a friendly donation from the Tang Sect.
They were attacked by the Green Skeleton, but Yin Hongye was happy to help.
All of this is from the Tang Sect's gratitude.
A dusty gray SUV bumped along the obviously uneven road.
Di Qiuer leaned against the car window, gazing at the low wooden houses on both sides of the road, the dusty market, and the pedestrians carrying farm tools as they walked slowly, her Rose Red eyes filled with doubt.
This looks a bit like something from my own time.
"Why does this Star Luo Continent look so backward?" she asked softly, her tone filled with simple confusion.
There wasn't even a single smooth road on this continent.
It can't compare to the towering buildings and suspended tracks of the Federation at all.
"It's not just what it seems; there's always been war here. That organization called Green Skeleton is a resistance group within the Star Luo Empire. As for their weapons and supplies, you can find out from the Tang Sect." Mu Hongchen explained without turning his head, "The Green Skeleton is very powerful, occupying two strategically important provinces in the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire has fought many battles with them, but failed because the Green Skeleton organization has many powerful members stationed there. They could only shrink their living space."
He couldn't understand how the Green Skeleton could still resist, and for so long. Most importantly, where did it get its Mecha technology from?
Who taught them?
Thousands of years ago, the Federation had little interaction with the other two continents.
"Wait, the Tang Sect is selling weapons to terrorist organizations?" Qian Renxue didn't know what to say; she had always thought they were selling weapons to the Federation.
"Tch, they're the Star Luo Empire's biggest arms supplier." Yin Hongye pointed to a spot not far ahead. This was already the outskirts of Star Luo City, and in the distance, a cluster of rolling buildings marked the headquarters of the Star Luo Tang Sect.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue looked ahead, noticing that this was different from the Tang Sect she had seen in the Douluo Continent.
In the Douluo Continent, the Tang Sect is low-key, even somewhat shabby.
Of course, the reason for the modest appearance is that natural disasters... and man-made disasters happen from time to time, so the decorations are not so luxurious.
However, the Tang Sect on the Star Luo Empire's side is magnificent in architecture, covering a vast area, with high walls like a city and towers like a forest. Its scale is several times larger than the headquarters of the Douluo Continent, resembling a small military fortress.
Qian Renxue understood that the fact that the Tang Sect received such treatment in the Star Luo Empire meant that it was valued far more highly than it was in the Douluo Continent.
"Wow, this place is so luxurious!"
Yin Hongye smiled without saying a word, her gaze passing through the car window and landing on the tallest main building in the complex.
Mu Hongchen flipped through the documents beside him. "The Tang Sect's Star Luo Empire branch has two thousand combat personnel just in its outer perimeter. The leader is a Level 98 Super Douluo named Hu Jie, with Six Black and Three Red spirit rings. He Soul Ring twin Body Martial Soul and is known as the ' Golden Belly, Silver Buttocks, Smiling Tiger.' His spiritual power has broken through to the Spiritual Domain Realm, and his overall strength is second only to the two Limit Douluo, Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin, within the Tang Sect."
Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Screen, Du Busi and Xuan Zi temporarily ceased their battle. Apart from Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei and the others had been defeated by the Body Sect and were unable to recover.
Upon hearing about the twin Body Martial Soul... he gasped.
Golden belly, silver buttocks.
Furthermore, one can discern the quality of the Martial Soul Second Awakening.
Du Busi asked curiously, "Why did this guy go to the Tang Sect? Huo Yuhao is also from the Tang Sect, right? It seems we have to wipe out the Tang Sect!"
He was completely unaware of the inside story, but when he heard it later, he was almost furious.
For a woman.
Huo Yuhao's next opponent will be the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
This is a genuine case of using money to bribe officials.
If Du Busi, then beat them! Pay up! Give money to anyone with a brain.
"Then there's no threat." Yin Hongye recalled Hu Jie's performance—unable to defeat Underworld Douluo —and said with a smile, "Investigate Star Luo Empire's military strength, and then we can help Tang Sect transfer their wealth back to the Douluo Continent."
Mu Hongchen had already infiltrated the Star Luo Tang Sect's internal network through his soul tool. If he were in the Federation, he wouldn't need to get this close to infiltrate.
"Using the Dazzling Tang Sect as a front, they conduct international business. They specialize in manufacturing and selling various Soul Tool Soul Tool. Of course, these external sales are all for civilian use. The real money comes from supplying weapons to the Star Luo Empire and the Green Skeleton. Holy crap, so many Soul Tool, even Ninth-Level Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell."
He couldn't help but feel that his moral standards were still quite high; he was fed by the Federation, used the Federation's resources, and never thought of fighting the Federation.
Qian Renxue asked, "Would the Federation allow technology to leak to other continents? And this is arms sales."
"So what? The Federal Parliament is divided into hawks and Dove Faction, and we two are definitely hawks. Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are both Dove Faction in the Federation," Yin Hongye explained. "And Tang Sect can use the guise of being Federation Dove Faction to claim they are carrying out Federation orders."
He sneered, "They didn't even follow the proper procedures of the Federal Parliament. What gives them the right to act under the guise of the Federation?"
"Besides, we're also afraid of being discovered by the Federation."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, "Has the monitoring system on the Sea God been upgraded?"
He remembered the functions of the Sea God warship. If this thing couldn't record images, what kind of technologically advanced warship was it?
Therefore, in order to enable the Federation to provide evidence in the future to clear the Tang Sect of treason, he upgraded the recording function.
Automatic multi-device backup.
Even inside the Abyss, this pseudo- Mental Detection ability can penetrate three hundred meters.
"The upgrade is complete, and the surveillance of the Sea God Legion has also become stronger." Mu Hongchen didn't take this matter seriously. Although they couldn't participate in the Federal Parliament, the Divine Brush Douluo could.
The Federation will agree to this minor suggestion.
On the surface, increasing the strength of the Sea God is a way to strengthen surveillance of the Sea God Legion.
As the car approached Star Luo City, a majestic city wall came into view. It was an old-style city defense rarely seen on the Douluo Continent.
The wall is nearly 100 meters high, and it is covered with Soul Cannon. Various defensive arrays are faintly visible on the surface of the wall.
Two squads of soldiers stood at the city gate, clad in armor and armed with weapons, their sharp eyes scrutinizing passersby, an air thick with a chilling atmosphere.
"Things have been really unsettled lately." Mu Hongchen rolled down the car window and glanced at the cannons on the city wall. "I hope Star Luo City is safer."
Di Qiuer and Na'er also crowded to the window, their eyes widening in surprise.
When the car arrived at the city gate, Yin Hongye casually handed over a forged identity document and a stack of brand-new Star Luo Empire coins.
As for why it's brand new, if you don't know, it's best not to know.
The city guard took it, examined it from all angles, and then checked the Star Luo Empire coins; the money verification machine did not beep.
A smile instantly spread across his face. This person is sensible and really rich.
It seems they were attacked by the Green Skeleton and moved to Star Luo City.
He's definitely a good person.
He glanced around the car and waved it through. The car passed through the archway, the light dimmed for a moment, and when it came back on, a bustling long street stretched out before them.
The streets were bustling with people, and apart from the architectural style and people's clothing being slightly different from those on the Douluo Continent, there wasn't much difference.
"Should we go to the Spirit Pagoda first, or check the city defenses?" Mu Hongchen asked, looking at the electronic map in his hand.
"Let's go to Monster Academy," Yin Hongye said. "Let's first check out God Realm Douluo Enci and determine whether his strength is that of a quasi-demigod or a demigod."
Mu Hongchen nodded and gestured to the driver. "Monster Academy."
The vehicle turned onto another street, and the further it drove, the fewer pedestrians there were, and the wider the road became.
"En Ci, why do you want to see him? Aren't you two afraid of being discovered by Star Luo City?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled. It's better to have as few people as possible know about smuggling.
"If he finds out it's me and dares to say anything, then I can just start a war, right?" Yin Hongye's thinking was simple: either you pretend you didn't see me, or you pretend you did.
Fight me to the death.
After hearing this, Qian Renxue finally understood: Your fear stems from your lack of strength.
