Shaking Them Down
Enci recounted in detail the history of the Dawn Society, its organizational structure, and the strongholds and strengths they had already discovered.
"We don't know exactly how many powerful members the Dawn Society has. Our spies often find little information before Dawn Society. Therefore, we can only analyze their past records. From this perspective, the core members of the Dawn Society include at least three Evil Spirit Master at the Super Douluo level."
"While there's no record of Limit Douluo appearing in the Dawn Society, that Qilin Douluo was once a student at my Monster Academy. Based on my understanding of him, he's probably already reached the Limit Douluo level. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit Cult certainly has Limit Douluo among its members. If we attack the Dawn Society, the Holy Spirit Cult won't stand idly by; they'll likely send Limit Douluo to support us."
Even though Huo Yuhao and the others knew that Enci's words might contain false information, they remained silent and listened attentively.
One of the purposes of the Passionate Douluo and his companions coming to the Star Luo Empire was to gather intelligence, investigate the current situation of the Star Luo Empire, and assess their various abilities.
Having witnessed firsthand the rampant activities of the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo Empire's response, they now have a clear understanding of the Star Luo Empire's overall situation.
However, their overall strength still needs further investigation.
Even if what Enci said was a lie, nine parts false and one part true, it would still be of reference value to them.
After explaining the information he "knew," Enci said in a heavy tone:
"The Dawn Society, as an organization of Evil Spirit Master, has long been guilty of heinous crimes. They use the name 'Dawn' to carry out the darkest of deeds!"
Thirty years ago, they appeared in the northern border of the Star Luo Empire, bewitching the common people under the guise of "saving the world," while secretly sacrificing living people.
Practicing evil arts!
"Twenty years ago, they infiltrated several Soul Master Academy in the Star Luo Federation, secretly abducting talented young Soul Masters, extracting their souls and refining them to create 'Soul Prisoners'!"
"Ten years ago, they even plotted a large-scale riot, attempting to sacrifice the entire city in blood. If we hadn't discovered and suppressed it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
"We implore the people of the Douluo Federation to lend us a hand, to wipe out these Evil Spirit Master, and to restore peace and order to the Star Luo Continent!"
Dai Tianling also stood up and bowed deeply to the Passionate Douluo and the others, "If we continue to let them run rampant in the Star Luo Empire..."
I wonder how many more families will be torn apart. I beg you all, once this is accomplished, Star Luo Empire will surely bestow generous rewards upon the Douluo Federation and all of you."
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly.
Goodness, they're quite adept at using moral blackmail.
You must use it quite often, right?
The Passionate Douluo narrowed his eyes, scrutinized the two men before him for a moment, nodded slightly, and solemnly said, "You two are too kind. Evil Spirit Master wreak havoc on the continent, and everyone has the right to kill them. Although the Douluo Federation and the Star Luo Federation have some differences, we have an unshirkable duty to combat Evil Spirit Master."
Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling's face lit up with obvious joy, but before he could express his gratitude, the Passionate Douluo changed the subject, "However, the strength of the Holy Spirit Cult should not be underestimated, and in my opinion, Star Luo Empire's battle plan still has room for improvement. There is still time before the plan is executed, so how about hearing my opinion?"
The Passionate Douluo and others originally did not want to get involved in the internal strife of the Star Luo Empire, but now Dai Tianling and Enci have launched a "moral kidnapping" tactic, and even directly described the Dawn Society as Evil Spirit Master organization.
Before they completely break ties with the Star Luo Empire, they need to make some kind of statement.
After all, Evil Spirit Master people everyone should kill.
However, there's no need to follow Star Luo Empire's plan completely.
We can talk about compensation now.
With this in mind, the Passionate Douluo began to bargain with Enci and Dai Tianling.
The Star Luo Empire Federation certainly knows more about the situation here than the Federation delegation, but this time it was the Star Luo Federation that came to ask for help, while the Douluo Federation was the one sending the delegation and taking the risk.
There's a lot to discuss here.
Payment will only be made after the job is done?
Give me some now!
"Leaving aside the other key points of the plan, if we use the younger generation to draw attention, how will Star Luo Empire guarantee their safety? His Enci Grace just mentioned that your younger generation was kidnapped by the Holy Spirit Cult, which worries me greatly."
"Moreover, the Dawn Society alone has three Super Douluo. If the Holy Spirit Cult were to get involved as well, it would be extremely troublesome, and it's unknown how many casualties would be incurred before any results could be achieved."
The Passionate Douluo paused, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, a troubled expression on his face. "As you both know, the students and experts we've brought to this delegation are all elites from various families and forces. If something goes wrong during the luring operation, or if something happens in battle, I won't be able to explain myself."
Dai Tianling and Enci knew that it was impossible for the Douluo Federation to proceed exactly as they planned, and they were prepared to talk to them for days and nights to revise their plans.
However, neither of them expected that the Passionate Douluo, this Limit Douluo, would suddenly change the subject at this moment, shifting the focus from revising the plan to the issue of advance payment of rewards.
Where is your integrity as Limit Douluo? Why are you only thinking about taking advantage of the Star Luo Empire?
Dai Tianling frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, exchanged a glance with Enci, and revealed a sincere expression. "You have come from afar for the righteous cause of opposing the Holy Spirit Cult, so we will naturally do our best to protect your safety and will certainly not mistreat you."
He used telepathy to notify the servants outside, and soon a servant came in carrying three exquisite jade boxes.
Dai Tianling personally opened one of the boxes, inside which was a crystal that shimmered with a strange light.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, "Defensive Soul Tool with Astrological Attribute?"
Dai Tianling glanced at Huo Yuhao with a strange look, then smiled and said, "You have a good eye. Indeed, this is Astrological Attribute Soul Tool developed based on the Xu Family's Star Crown. It possesses absolutely solid defensive capabilities; the protective shield formed after use cannot be broken by any attack. It can be used three times a day, and at night it will automatically absorb Power of Stars to replenish its consumption."
"We originally intended to give it to you all after the matter was completed as part of our reward, but I intend to give it to you now."
As he spoke, Dai Tianling opened two more boxes, one containing a Soul Bone and the other a rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, neither of which were ordinary items.
They put in a lot of effort for this project.
"As for the safety of the younger generation, you need not worry. This is Star Luo City. The Holy Spirit Cult would not dare to act openly here. Star Luo Empire's army and Titled Douluo will protect the safety of the competition venue."
It's precisely because this is Star Luo City that we're worried.
The Passionate Douluo rolled his eyes but said nothing more. He simply watched as Huo Yuhao put away the bamboo pole he had knocked over and discussed with Enci and the others the parts of the plan that needed to be modified.
They must take responsibility for the safety of their juniors; relying on the Star Luo Empire is simply wishful thinking.
