Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 206 Should Good People Be Pointed at with Guns? (3K, nd update)
"Is everything done?"

Xu Cheng tapped the table lightly, his expression normal.

"Everything goes well, Your Highness." The Fire Phoenix captain walked to Xu Cheng's side and whispered a few words.

"Okay, got it. Don't let her suffer. The rest of the Shrek students can control this matter. I'm only targeting a few people...especially the one named Fan Yu. You know what I mean." Xu Cheng paused, slowly opened his eyes, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"Yes! The topic of the interrogation..." the captain hesitated.

"There is no topic, just interrogate me." Xu Cheng said calmly.

"……Yes!"

After a second of silence for the guy named Fan Yu, the captain left.

Only Xu Cheng was left sitting quietly on the chair.

"I didn't expect that, Senior Sister, you would be such a person..." Xu Cheng grinned.

There was a strange flash in her eyes. Could it be that she liked something more exciting? I didn't expect that the dignified and elegant senior sister had such a secret hidden in her heart...

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep purple soul skill slowly emanated from under his feet.

The first soul skill is mind reading.

It can be used against those who are far weaker than you or who are completely defenseless against you.

Xu Cheng has almost never used this soul skill. He only used it three years ago when he first met Tang Ya, scaring her so much that she called him a pervert.

Even if it is, it's a punishment for you wanting to leave without saying goodbye...

Xu Cheng said in his heart.

……

"What? The Sun and Moon Empire dares to detain people! Are they crazy? The grandson of Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen is in my hands. How dare they do this!" Yan Shaozhe was a little furious and lightly slammed the table.

He is surrounded by ministers, so it is not his turn to lose his temper.

“But the Sun-Moon Empire’s reasons are indeed sufficient. We interfered in their internal affairs, so it is reasonable that all of us are now isolated for investigation.” Elder Lin said calmly.

"Before doing anything, you don't think about the consequences. Now that it's happened, who are you going to blame, Shaozhe?"

"I..." Yan Shaozhe was speechless for a moment.

Elder Lin is worthy of being the one who controls Jubao Pavilion and is also a lady from a secluded sect. Although she is old, she has a strong demeanor and her calm expression made Yan Shaozhe speechless.

"What do you think about this matter?" Old Lin turned his head and looked at everyone.

"You want to reason with my Shrek Academy? What a joke!" Xuan Zi sneered, "If the Sun Moon Empire dares not to release us, I will take a few old guys to make a scene in Mingdu and see if he panics."

"Yes, we also have hostages in our hands. I don't believe they dare not release them!" Old Song slammed the table and said angrily.

The ministers all spoke at once, but their conclusions were surprisingly unanimous.

That's just nonsense.

I don’t care whether your Sun-Moon Empire is right or not. If you dare not release your people, I will also imprison your exchange students from the Sun-Moon Empire and even go to your Mingdu to snatch your people!
“Huh…” Upon seeing this, Mr. Lin shook his head slightly and closed his eyes without saying anything.

To be honest, her relationship with Master Mu was not that close, not as close as that between Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er and others, nor as close as that between him and Xuan Zi, but now, she missed Master Mu a little.

When Elder Mu is around, at least the root of the problem can be quickly grasped, and then solved step by step. He is like a mountain, firmly guarding Shrek Academy from invasion.

But now...

……

The Sun and Moon Empire Conference Hall.

This is the highest-level meeting of the Sun-Moon Empire. It is only held during wartime or when a major accident occurs. Only high-level officials can attend. Although their number is small, they are so powerful that they would tremble if they stomped their feet if they were allowed to participate.

Xu Zhen sat leisurely in the first seat, looking at his son beside him with a smile.

"Tell me, what are you trying to do by making such a big noise?"

Hearing this, Kong Deming, Xu Jiangnian, Jing Hongchen and a strange old man on the side all looked at Xu Cheng.

"Keep Zhang Lexuan, and lure out those remnants of the previous dynasty hiding in the military, and kill them all." Xu Cheng said calmly.

"Hehe..." Xu Zhen smiled without saying anything.

As for bringing out the remnants of the previous dynasty, with Xu Cheng's methods, there was naturally no need to make such a big fuss, so there was only one purpose...

It seems that he is another romantic, but he is quite similar to me.

"What if Shrek doesn't work?" Xu Jiangnian frowned slightly.

As he was his own sister, he didn't want to see Zhang Lexuan leave, but he couldn't ignore Shrek's attitude now.

"Then let them understand one thing." Xu Cheng said softly. "When I talk about reason, they'd better listen and follow the rules." "Otherwise, I will make them beg me to talk to them."

"As expected of a young man, haha, full of vigor." Xu Zhen smiled, "But the grandson of Mirror Hall Master is in Shrek Academy. What can you do if they threaten you with this?"

"Your Majesty, my grandson died fighting for the empire. It was his honor! The Hongchen family will only be proud of this." Without waiting for Xu Cheng to answer, Jing Hongchen spoke first.

The corner of Xu Cheng's mouth twitched.

A picture suddenly appeared in his mind, Xiao Hongchen: I haven’t gotten on the car yet!

But he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Jing. The purpose of my trip is to shock, not to break with Shrek. Xiao is my beloved relative, brother, and I will not sell him out. Moreover, there are many students from the Sun-Moon Empire. They are the future of our Sun-Moon Empire. How can I ignore them?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief. It is said that the imperial family is ruthless, but it seems that Xu Cheng is still reliable.

"Kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. The chicken..." Xu Cheng grinned, "It's best to have the one that's nearby."

"You mean... the Xingluo Empire, or even Dai Hao between the two countries?" Kong Deming's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, but not entirely." Xu Cheng exhaled lightly, "There is a sect stationed at the border of the New Xingluo Empire in the Mingdou Mountains. Its strength is at least dozens of times greater than before. There are even some powerful people from hidden sects who have not left the border. After we launch the attack, almost half of the continent's forces will come to help..."

"Do you want to start a war?" Kong Deming frowned.

The Sun-Moon Empire believed in staying still and making a stunning move. If they wanted to start a war, they had to be prepared to crush the enemy. But now...

"The research on linked defense has been completed." Xu Cheng did not answer, but smiled.

"Just this afternoon, I saw the results with my own eyes. It is already very mature. We only need several level eight soul guides to stand in the center and activate their soul guides to link up with all the defensive soul guides of the same level around us to form an almost invincible defense. Its strength depends on the number and level of the linked soul guides. If a soul guide army of 10,000 people is configured, it can resist the attack of a Super Douluo, and 100,000 people can resist the attack of an Ultimate Douluo."

The linked defense does not rely on elites, but on numbers. As long as the number is sufficient, even if all members are low-level soul masters, they can resist the attack of the strongest. This is its terrifying aspect.

"Linked defense has been developed successfully?!" Kong Deming said in surprise.

As he said this, he looked at Jing Hongchen who was standing beside him, and the latter nodded slightly.

"I will tell you what I just learned this afternoon, even if Your Highness doesn't tell me."

"And Master Kong, I want to correct your wording. It's not about launching a war, but... a counterattack!" Xu Cheng smiled, "I want to be unstoppable all the way, attack the Xingluo Imperial Capital in three days, and then return the same way."

“But if we don’t start a war, instead the true strength of the Sun-Moon Empire will be exposed to the world. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” The old man with a strange face hesitated.

He took over after the previous prime minister abdicated. He had not intended to express any opinion and was careful with his words and actions, but he really couldn't help himself.

"There are pros and cons." Xu Cheng pondered.

"Once we show our true strength, those forces that were hesitant and hesitant in the past will completely turn to the Sun-Moon Empire. At the same time, showing our strength can also save us a lot of trouble. For example, in today's incident, the more you tolerated them, the more those old men from Shrek would push you too far. On the contrary, a good slap in the face will make them behave themselves."

"There are disadvantages as well. That is, the strategy of boiling a frog in warm water will completely fail. The Body Sect and Shrek will find that they can no longer play. Then they will start to target the Sun-Moon Empire thoroughly, such as using some shameful means, and start preparing to fight to the death."

"Of course, I definitely prefer the former. After all, although the latter is ready to fight to the death, it is still preparation, not the beginning. After all, we have not started a war..."

"Haha, that's good, young people should have their own ideas. In this case, do you have any objection?" Xu Zhen said with a smile.

"Yes." Kong Deming glanced at Xu Cheng and said helplessly.

Jing Hongchen nodded without hesitation.

The old man also nodded slightly.

A storm is brewing over the entire Douluo Continent.

……

On the way back, Xu Cheng sat in the car, thinking.

In fact, there is a big killer weapon that he has never used. The deterrence has gradually faded, so that Shrek is so rampant now.

missile.

However, the use of missiles will inevitably cause casualties among innocent civilians. In Shrek City, Xingluo City, etc., hundreds of thousands of civilians will be killed.

He was unwilling to do it. First, it was the Charity King System. Doing good deeds would get you rewards. With so much killing in his hands, it must be the Devil System. Second, he was unwilling to do the same thing as Shrek and the others. Since he had called Shrek a hypocrite and a villain, he was unwilling to do such a thing.

Now that I think about it, Shrek discovered his actions and guessed his character.

After all, he did not hide it. The Holy Spirit Church branch was in full swing, with many people joining, so its reputation naturally spread far and wide.

This is probably the reason why Shrek is so arrogant now. They are sure that Xu Cheng will not attack the civilians of Shrek City. Although it is ridiculous to think that a group of self-important guys who claim to be the best in the continent are now relying on a group of unarmed ordinary people for protection, this is the fact.

They will not blush, nor will they feel regret. Instead, they will just continue to jump up and down shamelessly with a thick skin.

then……

Should good guys be held at gunpoint?

Xu Cheng smiled. He was a really nice guy. Unfortunately, he was also an evil soul master...
