Chapter 676 A Long-Awaited Cooperation
The terrorist attack on Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire, could not be contained at all.
The attack by the evil spirit masters was too wide and too sudden, so much so that Xingluo City suffered a heavy blow, and many civilians and soldiers died at the hands of the evil spirit masters.
The noble families of Xingluo City were not spared either. Under the strange parasitic abilities of the evil soul masters, their proud guards and retainers were of little use.
So the first thing Xu Jiujiu did after taking the throne was to summon the officials from these noble families who had been placed in the court, and take advantage of the fact that all the families had lost too much power to begin cleaning up the treasury of corrupt officials.
Under the "friendly" interviews between Shattered Star Douluo and Asking Moon Douluo, and the cooperation plan contract presented by Xu Jiujiu, many noble families whose power had been dealt a blow had no choice but to grit their teeth and choose to cooperate with Xu Jiujiu. After all, Shattered Star Douluo was furious when he heard that the palace had been attacked.
Fortunately, Xu Jiujiu still gave them the benefits he was supposed to, otherwise these noble families wouldn't have kept quiet.
Yaoxing Hall, Xu Jiujiu chose this grand hall near Juxing Hall as the place where he would handle memorials.
"Your Majesty, we have some news about the other three kingdoms." Eunuch Zhao hesitated slightly. Xu Jiujiu was currently sitting on the dragon throne as regent, but he held the imperial edict in his hand.
He paid no attention to the change in Zhao Gonggong's title for a long time, still engrossed in reviewing the memorials, and asked, "Is it only the Sun and Moon that haven't been attacked?"
She guessed that the group of evil spirit masters had escaped from the Sun Moon Empire.
With a blank expression, Eunuch Zhao opened the secret letter, glanced at it, and said, "Only we and the Heavenly Soul Empire were attacked, but the Heavenly Soul Empire's attack was quickly quelled, and there were not many losses."
"Who is the Guardian Douluo of the Heavenly Soul?" Xu Jiujiu put down his golden pen and turned to look at the Shattered Star Douluo sitting in the courtyard outside drinking tea.
Shattered Star Douluo pondered for a moment and said, "Old Heavenly Dragon stepped down from his position as Guardian Douluo several years ago. His successor seems to be a Title Douluo who is good at mental power. What was his name again? He's not very famous."
"Your Highness, it just so happens that the Gluttonous Douluo was passing through the Heavenly Soul Empire and offered his assistance," said Eunuch Zhao.
"The Gluttonous Douluo of Shrek Academy," he thought for a long time, leaning back on the dragon throne and closing his eyes in deep thought.
The defenses of Xingluo City must have been breached by an insider. The exact amount of information leaked is still unknown.
"Did the Mighty Douluo have any dealings with the Gluttonous Douluo before?" Xu Jiujiu suddenly asked.
The Star Shattering Douluo paused slightly in his teacup, saying uncertainly, "It seems he was beaten up by the Gluttonous Douluo?"
"Then let's go with him. Have him go to Tianhun Academy. We're interested in cooperating with Shrek Academy." Xu Jiujiu's eyes gleamed with a strange light.
If the mole is hard to find, then we'll use outside help!
Heavenly Soul Empire, Luojiafang District.
"A Qiu!"
Ye Nanxiao, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, shook his head, trying to scratch his itchy nose.
"Can't you even be quiet for a moment while you're soaking your medicine?"
A chicken leg bone hit him on the head, not too hard, not too soft.
Ye Nanxiao sniffed and said to Elder Xuan, "Nose! Aim for the nose and smash it!"
Old Master Xuan choked on his drink, his head filled with black lines. This kid's addicted to beating people, isn't he?
The chicken leg bone hit Ye Nanxiao squarely in the nose. Holding back tears, he sighed and said, "That feels much better!"
Elder Xuan looked worried, placing the Taotie Bone beside him. "You said that Xingluo was also attacked, as was Tianhun, and I reckon Douling was probably attacked as well. So, can we be sure it was the work of the Sun Moon Empire?"
"There isn't much news about the Battle Spirits right now, just a few disputes between sects." Ye Nanxiao swayed back and forth like a roly-poly toy.
He had thought about this problem before, and rushed out the moment his consciousness returned. As a result, the invading evil soul master, the leader of several titled Douluo, was directly driven away by Xuan Lao, and was even killed by Du Busi on the way to escape.
Although these evil soul masters were all at the Title Douluo level, and their leaders were two Super Douluo who were known as the ten elders of the sect, they were nothing but brittle paper in front of Elder Xuan and Poison Undying.
After the evil spirit master, one of the two ten elders, announced his identity, he was slapped into the ground by Elder Xuan and then torn to pieces by Poison Undying.
The remaining evil spirit masters were also wiped out by the elders of the Body Sect who were hiding in the Heavenly Soul Guard.
From the moment Ye Nanxiao regained consciousness to the moment he rushed out to prepare for battle, only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was elapsed.
Within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the chaotic situation in Tiandou City was brought under control.
After the situation stabilized, Ye Nanxiao immediately contacted Aodu and Yingliu, as well as Feng Shiyi's sister who was far away in Douling pioneering.
The information received indicated that Douling had not been attacked by evil spirit masters. Apart from a few sects fighting amongst themselves in the capital and a certain merchant guild stealing taxes, there had been no other disturbances.
The major actions of the Sun Moon Empire are mostly military exercises, which are usually entertainment activities for the sons of noble families to show off and gain fame.
"So, only the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire were attacked by evil soul masters. But why is that? If only the Star Luo Empire was attacked, it would make the situation on the continent more turbulent, and even the other three empires would have suspicions. But now that two empires have been attacked, could it be an attempt to provoke conflict?"
Elder Xuan was full of doubts. Even if it was to provoke conflict, it must be between the original Three Kingdoms and the Sun and Moon Empire, since the Sun and Moon Empire was an empire that came later with the sea.
"Hey kid, say something!"
Ye Nanxiao silently cracked open some sunflower seeds, shrugged, and said, "Even the Gluttonous Douluo can't figure it out, so what am I supposed to be thinking about?"
Xuan Lao silently picked up the Taotie Bone.
Ye Nanxiao tossed aside the melon seeds in his hand, took out his elementary school glasses and put them on. "Actually, no matter what happens, the original three kingdoms will immediately suspect the Sun Moon Empire, after all, it's an outsider. And the current situation is obviously going to drag the Douling Empire into it. Whether the Douling Empire is involved or not, Xingluo and Tianhun will be suspicious. Although they all know that the Sun Moon Empire is the biggest suspect, the seed of suspicion has already been planted."
"The so-called scheme is simply to let the seeds of doubt take root and sprout. What the truth is is not important. The original three kingdoms were not as united as you imagine. Merchants are only connected by interests, let alone empires?"
Old Master Xuan scratched his disheveled hair and remained silent; what he hated most were these underhanded schemes.
Ye Nanxiao took out the soul-guided communicator, looked at the startup response count on the display screen and the missed calls, and silently wondered whether he should bury this thing.
Otherwise, I'd definitely be kneeling on the keyboard.
"The next competition is just around the corner, yet so many evil soul masters have suddenly appeared. Is the Holy Spirit Cult about to emerge?" Elder Xuan angrily pounded the Taotie Bone.
"The next tournament?" Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the next All-Continent Soul Master Tournament was not far away.
However, the stronghold of the Douling Empire has not yet been established, and a secret passage still needs to be built in the Sun Moon Empire.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was pondering, Luo Xinyao dragged Shen Ciyuan over, saying, "A distinguished guest specifically requests to see you, and he is a burly Title Douluo."
"A Title Douluo? See me?" Ye Nanxiao's thoughts were interrupted, and he couldn't immediately recall where he had seen a Title Douluo with this characteristic.
The latest novel is first published here!
Those you've met are either enemies or you've already established a good cooperative relationship with them.
Seeing the confusion in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, Luo Xinyao slowly said, "That Title Douluo's title is Giant Strength."
Who is it?
A moment later, the Mighty Douluo carefully sat on a wooden chair, looking at Elder Xuan with a respectful expression.
"Young Master Ye! This is a personal letter from my Emperor! Please take a look!"
Ye Nanxiao said "Oh," reached out and picked up the secret letter with the golden crown pattern, and quickly began to read it.
The letter contained little information, which Ye Nanxiao read in just a few breaths, though his expression was somewhat strange.
This letter was written by Xu Jiujiu, and the important content is only one sentence: to seek his cooperation. The rest of the content consists of some flowery and sentimental words of longing.
This girl actually used Imperial Secret Mail?
Doesn't that mean Xu Jiujiu has already sat on the dragon throne and become the Empress of Xingluo?
Upon learning this news, two thoughts immediately popped into Ye Nanxiao's mind.
Good news: I have a very good relationship with Xu Jiujiu, which increases the chances of my plans coming to fruition by 30%.
The bad news is that this woman is still eyeing him and wants to lure him back to be her royal consort.
"Thank you for your trouble, Giant Strength Douluo. I will personally visit His Majesty in Star Luo after I am finished with my work!" Ye Nanxiao bowed to Giant Strength Douluo.
The Mighty Douluo nodded, bowed to Elder Xuan, and then hurriedly left.
"Is he afraid of you?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"It seems I beat you up before," Elder Xuan said calmly.
Ye Nanxiao nodded slightly, pondering whether Xu Jiawei was planning to use the underhanded tactic of catching rats in the dark. Back then, he dragged those evil soul masters who had turned into insectoids to their deaths and detonated the level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells almost face-to-face. The combat power of these insectoids was at least half of what it used to be.
Under these circumstances, the palace guards around Xu Jiawei should have been able to kill him easily, but this guy was injured and had been pushed to the throne for a long time.
This immediately reminded Ye Nanxiao, who knew the inside story, of eliminating the mole within the organization.
"Could it be that those insectoid beings have a backup plan? Has Xu Jiawei been injured?"
"Was it intentional?"
Ye Nanxiao couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped worrying about it. It would be good for him whichever of the two siblings took the lead.
However, Elder Xuan became worried. An empire is not a place where the emperor can easily change hands. It is not a good thing. It means that a storm is about to brew within the Star Luo Empire.
"Xiao boy, you've been on the throne for so long, what... what are you doing picking up luggage?"
"Run away! With Xu Jiujiu's methods and Xu Jiawei's complete delegation of power, your concern shouldn't be for the common people of Xingluo, but whether those noble families will be wiped out by Xu Jiujiu!"
"Once she's free, I'll be finished!"
