Chapter 2106: The Suspicions of Various Forces (Please Subscribe)_1

The certainty in his voice forced the federation's higher-ups to reconsider…

"It's unlikely, isn't it? The Xingluo Empire doesn't seem to have fallen completely under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"We need to investigate more carefully. If it really is related to the Xingluo Empire, we definitely won't let it go!"

"In my opinion, we should contact the Xingluo Empire immediately to find out what exactly is happening!"

"We will handle this matter. Someone, take him down to have a good rest..."

With that, the man waved his hand, and a member of the federation who was standing not far away immediately dragged the federation member, whose memory had been tampered with, out of the room…

The latter's face showed unwillingness as he said, "Wait, I am perfectly healthy right now and don't need to rest. You have to believe me, this is all Xingluo Empire's conspiracy…"

…

Soon, this news spread throughout powers both big and small!

At the inner court of Shrek Academy, dozens of students were gathered and discussing...

"Did you all hear? Not long ago, the team sent by the federation was attacked within the borders of the Xingluo Empire. It's said to be instigated by the emperor of the Xingluo Empire and is also related to the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Hiss... No wonder the Xingluo Empire hasn't taken action against the Holy Spirit Cult recently. Could it be that they've reached some sort of cooperation?"

"It's very possible. Of course, it's also possible that the real emperor of Xingluo has been assassinated by the Holy Spirit Cult, and they've put up a new emperor as a puppet!"

"Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it does make some sense. Otherwise, why would Her Royal Highness the Princess be sent to our Shrek Academy!"

And just as Tang Wulin and the rest were returning from the practice field, they happened to hear these conversations…

Yue Zhengyu looked at Dai Yun'er with a surprised expression and asked, "Yun'er, was it really the emperor of the Xingluo Empire who instigated the attack on the federation's team?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er immediately denied, "Impossible, my brother loathes the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, he would never cooperate with them!"

Her own brother had always blamed the death of Di Tian on the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master; how could he possibly join hands with them!

Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes narrowed, "But these reports seem to come from a high-ranking federation official who survived the attack. It's probably not unfounded."

Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, the problem now is, we can't be sure if the emperor of the Xingluo Empire is still Yun'er's brother!"

Tang Wulin's pupils tightened, "Gu Yue, do you mean that Yun'er's brother was…"

This conversation made the already perplexed Dai Yun'er even more worried. She shook her head and said, "No... No, I have to go back to the Xingluo Empire to see for myself!"

She had to go back and confirm whether her brother was still safe!

If he had really been assassinated by the Holy Spirit Cult, then who had usurped the throne and was conspiring with the Holy Spirit Cult!

Xie Xie immediately objected, "No, the current Xingluo Empire is a dragon's den rife with danger. If you go back, you will definitely become a target for the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Yuanen Yehui concurred, "That's right, even if your brother is unharmed, once they capture you, his only relative, he would have no choice but to compromise with the Holy Spirit Cult, and that could lead to bigger problems!"

Ye Xinglan spoke word by word, "Yun'er, you should stay in the academy. I believe it won't be long before we understand the whole story behind this matter!"

After spending time together, they had come to regard Dai Yun'er as one of their own at Shrek Academy, naturally not wanting to see her in danger!

Dai Yun'er opened her mouth, her eyes flashing with emotion, "You are all right. If I were to go to the Xingluo Empire without permission, it would only bring more trouble to my brother!"

She vaguely remembered that when she left the Xingluo Empire, Dai Yueyan had made it clear not to return without his orders!

Could it be he had foreseen the upcoming events?

Then, the latter should be fine, right?

...

The Spirit Pagoda!

Leng Yaozhu, who had also received the information, immediately convened a meeting!

Seated at the head of the table, she cast her gaze downward upon the Council Members, "Honorable Council Members, what are your thoughts on the Xingluo Empire's collaboration with the Holy Spirit Cult?"

No sooner had her words fallen than a Council Member promptly spoke up, "At present, we have yet to receive definite news, so it's difficult to speculate. However, if the Xingluo Empire truly cooperates with the Holy Spirit Cult, then we, the Spirit Pagoda, should cease the supply of spirit souls immediately!"

Seeing this, other Council Members also began voicing their thoughts, "Indeed, if the Xingluo Empire falls into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, that would pose a lethal threat to both major empires; we absolutely cannot be careless!"

"When necessary, we can use the Xingluo Empire's Spirit Transmission Tower Branch to make contact with the royal household!"

"I, on the other hand, feel that this is a plot by the Holy Spirit Cult, seeking to instigate a war between the three great empires and then reap the benefits from it!"

As for Di Tian and other ferocious beasts, they just sat calmly in their places, showing no desire whatsoever to participate in the discussion...

They had joined the Spirit Pagoda only to solidify Gu Yue's power; as for what transpired amongst human powers, they could not care less!

After hearing these suggestions, Leng Yaozhu's expression remained unchanged, yet her beautiful eyes started to emit a slight chill...

Based on the investigation of the attack site by the Xingluo Empire's Spirit Transmission Tower Branch, it was deduced that traces of extremely evil presences had appeared on the scene...

Moreover, in some hidden corners, remnants of the Black Phoenix Flame were discovered...

This almost confirmed her suspicion that her younger sister, the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Darkness Phoenix Leng Yulai, was involved!

This meant that everything happening now was merely a conspiracy by the Holy Spirit Cult!!

With this in mind, Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, "I will have the Spirit Transmission Tower Branch continue to follow up on this matter. Please, what is discussed next must not be divulged," she said.

...

The Holy Spirit Cult!

Leng Yulai, looking at her companion Halosa, reminded, "Vice Sect Hierarch, all major powers have now grown suspicious of the Xingluo Empire; it won't be long before they begin investigating."

Halosa calmly responded, "Hmm, if other powers get involved in the investigation, they will soon discover that this is the work of our Holy Spirit Cult. So, it's necessary to stir the waters a bit."

Leng Yulai probed further, "Vice Sect Hierarch, what should we do?"

Halosa's eyes flickered before he let out a cold laugh, "Heh... this matter is quite simple. Just make it so that the Xingluo Empire's Emperor is temporarily unable to appear!"

"At that point, all powers will begin to suspect that the Xingluo Empire is under our Holy Spirit Cult's control! And thus, they will wage war!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai said gravely, "That... will likely be quite difficult, as the Xingluo Empire's Emperor is also protected by Limit Douluo-level fighters!"

In terms of strength, they're even stronger than she is!

Halosa spoke unruffled, "I have my ways to deal with this matter. You just need to focus on completing the task I've assigned to you!"

Without further words, Leng Yulai replied, "Yes, Vice Sect Hierarch!"
