Shrek Enters the Game
"A trip to Dragon Valley?"
Huo Yuhao sensed Xu Chengzhi's probing, his expression subtly shifting, then, as if remembering something, he frowned slightly.
He wore a thoughtful expression.
It has to be said that a young man's appearance can effectively deceive others. Xu Chengzhi attention to Huo Yuhao's expression, suddenly seemed to have something on his mind.
The intelligence he received indicated that a Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice had gone to Dragon Valley, and there shouldn't be anyone like that in the Star Luo Empire territory, so the Holy Spirit Cult directly targeted the members of the Douluo Federation delegation.
Xu Chengzhi also thought so.
Because of Huo Yuhao's previous actions and his recent disappearance in Star Luo City, he couldn't help but connect Huo Yuhao with the person who caused the collapse of the Dragon Valley Small World.
There's just one thing that doesn't make sense.
The Soul Master of Ultimate Ice was far inferior to Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao terms of Martial Soul. Moreover, according to the information provided by the Evil Eye Tyrant, there were many other details that differed between the two.
The Evil Eye Tyrant is a "veteran minister" who has followed the Holy Spirit Cult for Ten Thousand Years and is highly trusted. It is impossible for him to provide false information on such a matter. In order to avoid the Holy Spirit Cult thinking that he is sowing discord, he can only suppress the news that Huo Yuhao had obtained information about Dragon Valley from the Dawn Society.
Ultimately, whether Huo Yuhao did it or not is not important. In any case, whether it's Huo Yuhao or that Ultimate Ice Soul Master, the Holy Spirit Cult's best option is to capture them alive.
Moreover, if he reports the news, he will have to bear the responsibility for the collapse of the Dragon Valley Small World. However, judging from Huo Yuhao's reaction, this matter seems to have nothing to do with Huo Yuhao. In other words, there are hidden Ultimate swimming soul masters among the Douluo Federation delegation members who have come this time.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao should be aware of the other party's existence.
As Xu Chengzhi was thinking about this, Huo Yuhao seemed to snap out of his thoughts and, without intending to discuss the trip to Dragon Valley any further, directly changed the subject.
The more he said, the more mistakes he made. Originally, he had no intention of leaving any survivors or information about himself at the Holy Spirit Cult's base in Dragon Valley. However, his plans changed after encountering the Evil Eye Tyrant at the Dragon Valley base, and he had to leave some information for the other party to explain himself.
However, this would make some actions seem hasty, and if exposed, it could affect the Evil Eye Tyrant's infiltration. It's not advisable to discuss this matter further now, lest more information be revealed.
Fortunately, the success of the trip to Dragon Valley does indicate that the Dawn Society did not pass on the information about his search for Dragon Valley to the Holy Spirit Cult. Given that the Dragon Valley Small World seems to be collapsing now, the other party probably won't mention it much in front of the Holy Spirit Cult, lest the fire get back on them.
Next, we'll see what the Evil Eye Tyrant, a veteran minister who has served the Holy Spirit Cult for Ten Thousand Years, can do. Hopefully, he won't be used as Soul Ring because of this.
"Trust? Before we talk about trust, I want to know what Star Luo Empire is really up to. They cooperated with the Federation to suppress the Dawn Society, and now they're telling me that there are problems with the Star Luo Empire's upper echelons, and that the Dawn Society is the one in the right? And that His Xu Chengzhi is even the leader of the Dawn Society?"
Huo Yuhao said coldly, "This is not a joke. If the Star Luo Empire leadership has truly been infiltrated by Evil Spirit Master, then all future cooperation between the Douluo Federation and your side will be meaningless."
"Furthermore, if you are the leader of the Dawn Society, meaning you were the one who sent people to attack the Federation mission, are you trying to start a war between our two countries?!"
Faced with Huo Yuhao's questioning, Xu Chengzhi gave a wry smile, "Mo Yan should have already given the corresponding explanation. Besides those reasons, another important factor is that the Dawn Society also needs a purge. Although I am the leader of the Dawn Society, when a power grows too large, there will always be dissenting voices. I hope you can understand."
"The mastermind behind this collaboration with the Douluo Federation to suppress the Dawn Society is those Evil Spirit Master. They want to eliminate the last remaining discordant element in the Star Luo Empire. If they succeed, Star Luo Empire will become a living hell."
Huo Yuhao seemed not to have heard the last sentence and asked:
"So what? As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Your Majesty places all your hopes on other countries?"
Seeing Xu Chengzhi Huo Yuhao remained unmoved, Xu Chengzhi sighed.
"That's right. With the help of the Spirit Pagoda, the Dawn Society can launch an uprising within the Star Luo Empire, and the Douluo Federation can also take advantage of the situation. Once things are set right, both the Douluo Federation and the Spirit Pagoda will gain considerable benefits. However, if the Holy Spirit Cult completely controls Star Luo Empire, it will inevitably launch military operations against the Douluo Federation. Rather than that, it would be better to hold the war on our territory, which would also be a good thing for the Douluo Federation."
At this point, Xu Chengzhi paused for a moment, then continued:
"As the ruler of a nation, I naturally do not wish to betray the country's interests in this way, but the reality is that if I do not do so, Star Luo Empire will never have a chance to see the dawn."
He spoke these words with sincerity, and explained the benefits of cooperation between the two parties from multiple perspectives, including interests and morality.
But upon hearing the end, Huo Yuhao simply shook his head slightly.
"If Your Majesty has come here today only to discuss this matter with me, then there is no need to continue this discussion. The information I possess is all provided to me by you; I cannot trust you based on only one side of the story. Moreover, the Dawn Society about to be besieged by all sides, and Your Majesty, as its leader..."
But his nonchalant attitude only confused me more.
"Moreover, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. If we cannot overcome this calamity, nothing else matters. Therefore, please go and find His Your Excellency Duoqing to resolve the crisis of the Dawn Society."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengzhi narrowed his eyes, realizing that there was no hope of getting Huo Yuhao to bring the Spirit Pagoda into the game.
Fortunately, he didn't have high hopes in the first place; the main reason he approached Huo Yuhao was for something else.
"I presume you've already investigated the matter after Mo Yan mentioned the Human Pill? What if I told you that the Passionate Douluo and Shrek Academy are not trustworthy?"
Huo Yuhao paused, turned to look at Xu Chengzhi, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
So that's how it is. Are you trying to get Shrek Academy involved?
Thinking of the Star Luo Empire's current situation, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
No, because of the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy had already entered the game.
Watching Huo Yuhao leave, Mo Yan frowned and looked at Xu Chengzhi, "Your Majesty, is this a good idea?"
Xu Chengzhi shook his head. "We can only choose the Holy Spirit Cult. Even a false prosperity is better than a completely Destruction nation. If you really expect Star Luo Empire to see the light at the end of the tunnel, that's impossible. Do you think anyone in the Douluo Federation would be willing to take on this mess?"
Knowing Star Luo Empire's current situation, he was certain that it was either a matter of going down a dead-end road or starting all over again.
"Alright, let's not bring this up again. How's Secretary-General Pan doing?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan respectfully replied, "As you predicted, he has already discovered the problem with the Tang Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengzhi revealed a calm and elegant smile, "The Douluo Federation and Shrek Academy are growing increasingly distant, and the conflict between them has long since reached its Limit. Let's take this opportunity to hand them the knife."
