The news caused an uproar among the various forces in Douluo Continent. They were not saints themselves, but they were shocked by the scale of the Tang Sect's underground arsenal, which produced more weapons than all the other arsenals in the federation combined.
But what really outraged everyone in the Federation was the news that followed. According to the investigation of the federal officials, most of the weapons made by the Tang Sect's underground arsenal were shipped to the Star Luo Empire on the Star Luo Continent.
The Tang Sect was caught off guard by the sudden exposure. They never thought that kidnapping a few staff members from the City of Miracles would lead to such a disaster.
And the first one to condemn the Tang Sect was not the City of Miracles, nor the Spirit Pagoda, which had always been in conflict with the Tang Sect. It was Shrek Academy, which claimed to be the Tang Sect's partner.
Yun Ming and Le Zhengen were the first ones to hear the news. They left as soon as they got the message. That's why Le Zhengen said "take care of yourself" before leaving.
He had known about the Tang Sect for a long time, but he never expected them to go this far and do such a thing. He looked at Yun Ming, who was also angry, and asked, "Do you believe that Shrek Academy reprimanded the Tang Sect?"
Yun Ming sighed and said, "It's just for the sake of their reputation. Most of the people in Shrek Academy are members of the Tang Sect. How can they easily separate themselves? Besides, Tang San's spiritual consciousness is still there. It's impossible for them to betray him."
Yun Ming had never joined the Tang Sect, but he knew the internal situation of Shrek Academy very well. That's why he understood why Shrek Academy did this.
Shrek Academy was eager to distance themselves from the Tang Sect. Apart from their reputation, they also wanted to prevent the forces that supported them from abandoning them.
After this incident, Yun Ming lost all his respect for Shrek Academy. He didn't want a war, because he knew that war meant loss of life.
But he couldn't accept the Tang Sect's behavior. He was born and raised in the Federation. Even if he didn't hate the Star Luo Empire, he wouldn't do anything to help the enemy.
Le Zhengen understood why Yun Ming was sighing. His family had been close to the Tang Sect before, and he felt helpless about this situation.
Le Zhengen shook his head slightly and said, "What do you think the Tang Sect will do next? Leave the Douluo Continent? Or give an explanation to the Federation?"
That was the only thing he could think of. He knew that it was impossible for the Tang Sect to continue developing in the Federation. If only a few people knew about it, it might be fine. But now that it was exposed to the public, the Tang Sect would face a lot of resistance. Everyone knew that selling weapons to the Star Luo Empire was treason.
Yun Ming pondered for a while and said, "I think the Tang Sect will leave the Douluo Continent and go to the Dou Ling Empire. As for giving an explanation to the Federation, that's almost impossible. You know what kind of people the Tang Sect are. How can they admit their mistakes after suffering such a huge loss?"
Le Zhengen was startled when he heard Yun Ming mention the Dou Ling Empire. He didn't understand at first and asked, "Shouldn't they go to the Star Luo Empire? After all, they are closer to them, right?"
He didn't say that Tang Wulin's girlfriend was the princess of the Star Luo Empire. If the Tang Sect had to choose, they should go to the Star Luo Empire.
Yun Ming shook his head slightly and said, "It's precisely because they are close that they won't go to the Star Luo Empire. The princess of the Star Luo Empire will follow Tang Wulin to the Federation. I'm sure the emperor of Star Luo already knows Tang Wulin's identity. Whether the princess goes to the Star Luo Empire or not, they will fully support Tang Wulin."
"On the other hand, if the Tang Sect goes to the Dou Ling Empire and gets their support, they can use themselves as a link to connect the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. With their own various technologies, they can easily fight against the Federation."
Le Zhengen thought about Yun Ming's explanation and realized that it was the best option for the Tang Sect at the moment. If they had the support of two empires from outside and Shrek Academy from inside, a war would probably break out soon.
He became more worried as he thought about it. He immediately took Yun Ming to find Anping and discuss what to do. On the way, they contacted Yali, Leng Yulai, Leng Yaozhu, Qiangu Dongfeng, and other senior officials.
When they arrived at Anping's residence, Anping was chatting with Gu Yuena in the yard. They were talking about recent events, but also about the relationship between Xu Xiaoyan and Sun Qingyi.
Le Zhengen was angry when he heard their conversation and said anxiously, "The world is in such a mess, and you two still have time to care about children's love lives?"
Anping was confused by his reaction and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with the world now? Why can't we talk about children's love?"
After everyone gathered, Le Zhengen told them about his and Yun Ming's speculations, emphasizing the possibility that the Tang Sect might go to the Dou Ling Empire.
Qiangu Dongfeng was the first to speak after hearing Le Zhengen's words. He said, "Besides what you said, there is another possibility. Do you think the Tang Sect will reveal the news that Tang San's spiritual consciousness is still in the world, and blame his actions on his divine guidance?"
"Although this won't completely resolve the conflict, it will ease the pressure. After all, there are still many people in the Federation who believe in Poseidon."
Leng Yulai disagreed. She said, "I don't think that's likely. Tang San's divine guidance is just an excuse, but it will also damage his reputation. They wouldn't do such a thing."
Qiangu Dongfeng didn't take offense at Leng Yulai's disagreement. He shook his head slightly and said, "As for reputation, they can blame it on Dai Mubai's request. If I recall correctly, the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire is related to the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing."
"Besides, according to the Spirit Pagoda records, they are also connected to Huo Yuhao, who lived thousands of years ago. And all these people were former members of the Tang Sect, so they can use that as an excuse."
Leng Yulai thought about what Qiangu Dongfeng said and realized that it was a plausible scenario. She nodded slightly without saying anything more.
