Chapter 83 Tripartite Talks
"roll."
Looking at Zhongli Wu who was smiling in front of him, Kong Deming just uttered one word coldly.
But then, the leader of the Holy Spirit Religion in front of him, the Super Douluo Zhongli Wu, even had a much higher soul power than Kong Deming.
He actually took a step back under the pressure of Kong Deming's aura. Seeing this, Zhongli Wu's pupils constricted. He had not even noticed that Kong Deming was using any soul guide device.
You must know that Kong Deming, as the head of the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall, is only loyal to the empire, and he is also known as the person who is closest to the tenth-level soul mentor among the ninth-level soul mentors, coupled with his original twin martial souls and ninety-four-level soul power cultivation.
Even if Ye Xishui, the Ultimate Douluo who is the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Church, came, he had to give Kong Deming some face.
After all, this is an era where soul masters are still the dominant force.
The energy and significance contained in a strong man who is close to the level of a tenth-level soul engineer cannot be underestimated by anyone, not even the Ultimate Douluo.
But now Kong Deming can force himself to retreat without using any soul guide. What does this mean?
Or was it that he couldn't even detect any traces of Kong Deming using the soul guide?
However, the man who was originally standing behind Zhongli Wu, and was covered in a black robe, seemed to be unaffected. Instead, he took a step forward and shared a lot of pressure for Zhongli Wu.
"It's really lively today. I didn't expect that in addition to the Beast God Di Tian who came in person, the Evil Emperor is also here." Kong Deming's face turned cold, but he didn't show any fear.
At the same time, his eyes looked towards a looming evil aura in the distance, the Extreme Douluo, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Church, Ye Xishui.
Kong Deming could sense that the person in front of him, apart from having the aura of the Evil Emperor, was actually empty inside, at most equivalent to an ordinary Titled Douluo level. It should be that the Evil Emperor's mental power was residing in the puppet of the Holy Spirit Church.
Although Ye Xishui seemed to have arrived, he did not look like he was going to show up in person, and even if he did, he was fearless now.
You have to know that he has long disliked the people of the Holy Spirit Church, but as the head of the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall, all he has to do is to maintain the royal heritage and ensure the country's prosperity.
During this period, no matter how unjust the royal family's actions were, as long as they did not endanger the continuation of the empire, he would not intervene.
Moreover, the Holy Spirit Church itself is quite powerful, and cooperation with it can indeed enhance the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire and counter the other three countries.
Therefore, he has turned a blind eye to it over the years, but he is not afraid of the extreme combat power of the Holy Spirit Church. Now that the people of the Holy Spirit Church are jumping around in front of him like this, isn't it a blatant provocation? Do they really think he has no temper?
"Master Kong, please don't misunderstand me." Zhongli Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We from the Holy Spirit Church came here entirely for the good of the empire."
"A rat in the gutter, could it be that he wants to come to the stage?"
Kong Deming's face darkened and he wanted to lose his temper. After all, he didn't have time to get entangled with Zhongli Wu. If he really had to fight Di Tian in Mingdu, even if he could repel him, the people of Mingdu would surely suffer heavy losses.
"Master Kong is wrong. As the saying goes, the strong should unite. If Master Kong can persuade Emperor Tian to retreat, then Mingdu can be guaranteed to be safe. However, the resources previously invested in purchasing the real dragon egg will be lost in vain."
"But now that the Evil Emperor is here, since our Holy Spirit Church can discuss cooperation with the Evil Emperor, why not let us give it a try."
"If we can win over the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, it will be a great help to the great cause of our Sun Moon Empire in the future."
"After all, the Xingdou Great Forest has been oppressed by the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy in recent years. The scope it can control and the number of soul beasts it possesses have been greatly reduced, although the Beast God has not made a big retaliatory move for some reason."
"But if there is a chance, I believe the Beast God would not be unwilling to talk."
An uncertain look flashed across Kong Deming's eyes. He knew that since the Holy Spirit Church took the initiative to propose cooperation, it would definitely have extremely beneficial consequences for him.
But what he was considering now was whether the other party's actions would pose a hidden danger to the Sun-Moon Empire, or how to balance the consequences of revealing the hidden dangers and the benefits brought about by the cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although he does not interfere in state affairs, Kong Deming still has his own standards in mind regarding the general development direction of the Sun-Moon Empire.
At this time, Zhong Liwu's wrinkled old face still had a forced, disgusting smile.
But he had no choice but to do so. After all, if he could draw on the power of the Star Dou Great Forest, then combined with the original power of the Sun-Moon Empire and the power of their Holy Spirit Church.
With the combined efforts of the three, even if they each have their own ulterior motives, it is only a matter of time before they dominate Douluo Continent.
And the first one to be destroyed will be the nosy Shrek Academy!
Now that Shrek Academy had been defeated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, it was a sign of its downfall. How could it not give the academy a beating when it was down?
However, the real dragon egg is not in their hands now, so they are naturally not qualified to discuss cooperation with Di Tian.
Fortunately, the real dragon egg was not in their hands at the beginning, otherwise, let alone discussing cooperation with Di Tian, they would be lucky not to be torn apart by Di Tian.
Moreover, after Mingdetang obtained the real dragon egg, no one knew that Kong Deming had disclosed to those ninth-level soul engineers who knew the situation about the progress in the research and development of tenth-level soul guides.
How much progress has been made? It can only be seen from the fact that he can hold his own in a head-on negotiation with the Beast God Di Tian, plus the pressure he released before.
What he gained from the real dragon egg might far exceed anyone's imagination.
In addition to this, Zhongli Wu naturally had his own selfish motives, because the Holy Spirit Church had long established diplomatic relations with the Evil Emperor, and the Evil Emperor himself belonged to the soul beast camp.
In addition, because the Evil Emperor is about to survive his 800,000-year catastrophe, he is willing to take the initiative to build bridges and reach cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest, in an attempt to use the power of the Star Dou Great Forest to help himself survive the catastrophe.
In Zhongli Wu's opinion, the possibility of reaching an agreement by letting soul beasts negotiate with each other, or letting the first of the ten fierce beasts negotiate with the second of the ten fierce beasts, is naturally much easier than letting humans negotiate with them.
In fact, this is also the reason why Kong Deming did not think about negotiating with Di Tian at the beginning.
Kong Deming was a native of the Sun-Moon Empire and had never been in contact with the Star Forest. Moreover, the Sun-Moon Empire had never had any connection with the Star Forest.
Kong Deming naturally didn't know Di Tian's temperament and style, so it was better to have less trouble than more. For him, it would be enough to send this angry beast god away as soon as possible.
For this reason, if the Holy Spirit Church can broker cooperation between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Dou Great Forest through the Evil Emperor, then the final execution will definitely not be the Sun Moon Empire soul master who is not good at this matter. Instead, it will be the evil soul master of their Holy Spirit Church who will be responsible for contacting the Star Dou Great Forest. At that time, their Holy Spirit Church can also take the opportunity to make a lot of money from the huge resources contained in the Star Dou Great Forest. Isn't it wonderful?
You know, there are so many resources waiting to be developed in the Star Dou Great Forest. As long as they complete the cooperation with Di Tian and eliminate the hostility of the soul beasts towards them, even if they act a little more restrained, they will not touch the red line of the soul beasts.
But just collecting the corpses and resentment produced by the low-level soul beasts' hunting every day and not touching their fundamental souls can be said to be a good job, not to mention the medicinal herbs that the soul beasts cannot refine and use.
Because when cooperating with the Evil Emperor before, the Holy Spirit Church had almost figured out how to communicate with these "shallow-minded" soul beasts.
Apart from the direct lineages of the soul beasts, for the high-level soul beasts, those low-level soul beasts like the soft-bone rabbit can only be regarded as food.
In their view, there is no difference between having soul masters help deal with kitchen waste and letting the kitchen waste rot on its own and be dealt with by scavenging soul beasts and nature.
Therefore, in addition to the original Douluo Continent under the jurisdiction of the Shrek Supervisory Group, the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church have also established many transactions with soul beasts in the Demon Forest and overseas through this cooperation model.
It’s just that the cooperation established with some sea soul beast tribes is long-term, while the cooperation established with other sea soul beast tribes is a one-time deal of fraud and deception.
This mostly depends on the compatibility of the characters of the evil soul masters responsible for the execution and those soul beast tribes. For example, evil killer whales are very much to the liking of evil soul masters, while soul beasts such as mermaids are not very popular.
It was precisely with the help of the resources produced by the soul beasts in the Demonic Forest and the soul beasts in the sea that the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun-Moon Empire were able to establish a relatively equal yet mutually cautious cooperative relationship.
Otherwise, if all necessary resources are held in the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire, then even if the evil soul masters can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources through killing, they will eventually fall into a vicious cycle of expenditure rather than income.
Looking at Kong Deming who seemed to be thinking about something, Zhongli Wu added: "If Mr. Kong is worried about me, then you may as well ask His Excellency the Evil Emperor to negotiate with the Beast God in person. As for the most important True Dragon Egg, neither His Excellency the Evil Emperor nor I will touch it."
"After all, the Holy Spirit Church is not a short-sighted group. I have never thought of using the real dragon egg to arouse the hatred of the Sun-Moon Empire and the wrath of the continent's most ferocious beast. Please rest assured about this."
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming snorted coldly and walked away, but he did not refuse. This attitude naturally showed the other party's intention.
Seeing the other party leave, Zhongli Wu put away the ugly smile on his face and returned to his expressionless look.
"Laugh, why don't you continue laughing? Your expression is quite interesting."
Although the Evil Emperor's face was hidden by a black robe, his expression was clearly instigating and provocative.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Excellency the Evil Emperor. After all, the strength of this Kong Deming, Master Kong, should not be underestimated. Even a junior has to be careful in front of him."
Zhongli Wu himself was naturally not embarrassed. After all, as an evil soul master, as long as the goal was achieved and he could eat the meat, hadn't they received enough criticism and curses?
A moment later, Kong Deming took out the well-preserved real dragon egg from the secret laboratory of Mingde Hall and flew straight towards the direction where Di Tian was. Seeing this, the Evil Emperor followed.
Kong Deming, Xie Di and Di Tian had a talk in the sky, and Di Tian also transformed into a human form. The originally tense atmosphere was eased a little.
Du Bu Si, who had been staring at this place from a distance, thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Fight, why don't you fight?" "Could it be that the Sun-Moon Empire has really given in?"
"And you, Di Tian, why are you just letting it go? But who is that man in black? He looks like an ordinary Titled Douluo? But I feel something is wrong."
Because the distance was too far, and he didn't want the three people in the sky to notice him, so Du Bu Si didn't dare to release his mental power and aura to investigate.
However, among Kong Deming, Xie Di and Di Tian, Xie Di, who was the best at detection, did not come in his real body. Therefore, they were on guard against each other and did not notice that Du Bu Si, who was hiding his aura, was watching from a distance.
After more than ten minutes, Emperor Tiancai left the place with the real dragon egg, and the Evil Emperor also left with him. Kong Deming returned to Sun and Moon City to comfort the residents in the city and mobilize the soul masters to return in an orderly manner.
After a few more hours, after confirming that there were no accidents, Du Bu Si left his previous location.
'Damn it. This is fucking terrible.'
Du Bu Si cursed in his heart. Although he didn't know what the Sun Moon Empire and Di Tian talked about, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing.
But after seeing it today, I didn’t expect that the soul guide in the Sun-Moon Empire is actually qualified to confront Di Tian and even negotiate with him?
This also made Du Bu Si alert to the existence of soul mentors for the first time.
Moreover, he just felt that there was an aura slightly stronger than his own hidden in the Sun and Moon City, which was hidden but not released.
Although this seems to be concealed, it is actually a demonstration to Emperor Tian, so that he dare not take further actions.
The only one who could be stronger than this level 98 Super Douluo is undoubtedly the Extreme Douluo.
Is it just that the Sun-Moon Empire has an Ultimate Douluo? Or is it that this Ultimate Douluo is not native to the Sun-Moon Empire?
After all, even Kong Deming, who faced Di Tian head-on, only had a soul power of level ninety-four, and was not even a Super Douluo.
One question after another weighed on Du Bushi's mind, and he couldn't help but carefully consider the possibility of the evil soul master that Moon had mentioned before.
"Damn it, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel. Never mind. I'll just go catch that little guy a 100,000-year-old evil-eyed tyrant as a gift to him as his disciple."
'Damn it, as long as that little guy can grow up, no matter what soul master or evil soul master, it will not be an obstacle to the rise of my Body Sect! '
Thinking of this, Du Bu Si stopped hesitating and fled towards the evil demon forest.
