The Talks Continue, Terrifying Undercurrents

The assassination of Xu Tianran, on the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, targeting both the Crown Prince and the current Regent of the Sun Moon Empire —it's safe to say that Douluo's idea of belonging to the Three Kingdoms was truly audacious.

To be honest, if Xu Jiujiu were still the princess of the Star Luo Empire, she would probably have agreed to this idea directly.

There's no way around it; whether from the perspective of peace on the mainland or from the perspective of the nation, Xu Tianran is far too dangerous.

They not only have the ambition to unify the continent, but also possess the corresponding national strength as a backing.

Indeed, theoretically speaking, if the mainland could truly be unified, it would be a good thing for the mainland's future development.

The question is, who can so readily accept their country being annexed by another?

Few people can do something so heartless, unless their country itself is not a very good place.

However, Xu Jiujiu is currently representing the neutral force of Spirit Contract Pagoda, and cannot openly agree to this matter, especially since she has more important tasks at hand.

Bei Bei, the representative of the Shrek Academy, which is also considered a neutral force, spoke up at this moment, "Shrek Academy is essentially an academy, and we will not favor any empire."

The representatives from the other three countries present were not surprised by this, as Shrek Academy had always maintained this position.

They always claim to be fighting for the peace of the Douluo Continent, and they even created the Shrek Monitoring Group to interfere in the affairs of various countries under the pretext of dealing with Evil Soul Master.

However, when it comes to taking sides, they always express their neutrality immediately, only choosing a side when their own interests are threatened.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, Shrek Academy is a far-sighted neutral force that always maintains its independence and does not deceive any party.

Their stance is for broader peace and stability, and they will only take decisive action when the security of the entire continent is threatened.

To put it in low emotional intelligence terms, Shrek Academy is full of opportunistic and cunning individuals.

They usually use the guise of peace on the mainland to conduct inspections everywhere, but when it comes to real conflicts of interest, they always hide under the banner of neutrality and are unwilling to make a clear statement.

They will only take action when their own interests are threatened.

Therefore, they had actually anticipated Bei Bei's statement. In any case, Shrek Academy would still choose to participate in this plan in the end, otherwise they would not be able to escape Mingdu from Xu Tianran's arrangements.

The only difference is whether you reply earlier or later.

Douluo Continent, originally belonging to the Three Kingdoms, truly wanted to see was the Spirit Contract Pagoda's attitude on this matter.

The Spirit Contract Pagoda, because it holds the resources of the new cultivation system of Soul Spirit, must remain an independent organization under any circumstances.

Otherwise, once that country gains the support of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, it will not only monopolize the Soul Spirit System but also gain unprecedented power as its backing.

However, this would also make them a thorn in the side of other countries, potentially sparking a new war.

Therefore, given that the four kingdoms of Douluo still exist, maintaining the organization's independence and existing in its current form as a chamber of commerce is the optimal solution for all countries.

Theoretically speaking, the only situation in which other countries would accept the support of the Spirit Contract Pagoda is when the continent has been completely unified.

This means that there are no other countries that can oppose it.

Therefore, they wanted to test the attitude of the Spirit Contract Pagoda through this proposal, because if any country has the ability to dominate the entire Douluo Continent, then at this stage only the Sun Moon Empire has that capability.

In response to these probing questions from representatives of various countries, Xu Jiujiu took a leisurely sip of tea before speaking, "Before I share my thoughts, I'd like to share some information I previously promised regarding the Sun Moon Empire."

Upon hearing this, the other representatives present frowned. Among them, Vina, the representative of Heavenly Soul, directly asked what everyone was thinking, "You're going to reveal this at this time? Can't you first determine the main content of this meeting?"

Xu Jiujiu shook his head and said, "You can make a decision after you've heard this information."

Bei Bei added from the side, "I believe that Xu Jiujiu, as the chosen spokesperson of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, wouldn't speak without reason. Everyone should listen to her."

Xu Jiujiu pause, he nodded, then took out a document from his pocket and placed it on the table. "This is the latest intelligence our Spirit Contract Pagoda has detected in Mingdu. The Holy Spirit Cult seems to be planning to detonate a biological weapon in Mingdu, but their motives remain unclear."

Vina frowned. "A biological weapon? Is it something like a large-scale, poison-attribute Soul Tool? This is a serious matter. What evidence do you have?"

Xu Jiujiu, he opened the file, displaying several photos and documents. "These are documents we obtained from the Holy Spirit Cult's base, including prototypes and research records of biological weapons. You can take a closer look."

Vina picked up the documents, quickly scanned them, and her expression grew increasingly grave. "This evidence seems credible. If it's true, we may have to cancel our assassination plan."

Xu Tianxing was somewhat puzzled, "How dare the Holy Spirit Cult do such a thing in Mingdu? If they do this, they will inevitably lose the protection of the Sun Moon Empire?"

"Who knows?" Xu Jiujiu shrugged helplessly and replied, "I had the same reaction when I first found out about this. Even an organization like the Holy Spirit Cult, which is made up of lunatics like Evil Soul Master, shouldn't they have chosen to go all in at a time like this?"

Xue Nan, the representative of the Dou Ling Empire, spoke with a hint of doubt, "That being said, what you've provided only proves that the Holy Spirit Cult is developing biological weapons, not that they intend to detonate them."

Xu Jiujiu smiled slightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the representative of the Dou Ling Empire: "But what if I told you that the Holy Spirit Cult chose this time period to place these biological weapons in various locations in Mingdu?"

Xue Nan was clearly taken aback for a moment, and asked, "You mean, they've already planted these biological weapons in Mingdu?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded and said, "Yes, after our investigation of Mingdu, our Spirit Contract Pagoda has discovered several Soul Tool made based on these blueprints."

"We discovered two special potions among these Soul Tool. One has the ability to enhance the effects of any potion, while the other remains unknown."

"If this evidence still fails to convince you, then I have no other choice."

"The choice is yours now. Should you continue to focus your efforts on assassinating Xu Tianran and gamble that the Holy Spirit Cult won't detonate these biological weapons?"

"Or should we abandon the assassination plan and work together to find a way to evacuate Mingdu?"

"Let me hear your respective thoughts?"
